After the fog, I became a birdman

Chapter 154 The 2nd Year Rainy Season

Dudu~

Inside the trench, Brother Chen gasped for breath and leaned on the mound to rest, while eating meat and drinking water, holding a beast pill in his hand to quickly replenish his physical strength and energy.

The communication jade talisman in his arms vibrated, and he quickly took it out and injected a strand of spiritual power into his ear.

Su Qing's voice came out: "Brother Chen, run directly to the tree house in case of danger, the formation has granted you permission."

After he finished speaking, Qi Jiang added: "If it's too late, send a message directly, and I'll pick you up."

Brother Chen's eyes were slightly red, and he didn't have time to reply, the battle was raging again ahead, he carefully and quickly put away the communication jade talisman, swallowed the meat in his mouth, and rushed forward with his weapon.

The sky was gradually getting dark, amidst the lightning and thunder, the wind began to increase, howling angrily, the sky seemed to have a big hole, and the torrential rain was like small shells hitting the body, this kind of rain made humans and monsters Beast recalled the memories of being dominated by the rainy season last year.

On the coast, more than a dozen sea hurricanes roared into the dense forest on the shore, and the mutated plants and monsters that were still fighting stopped one after another, clutching the ground with their best strength, for fear of being swept up.

The sea hurricane was still some distance away from the jungle. Commander Geng looked up at the heavy rain in the sky. The night sky in the distance gave people a very dangerous feeling. He struggled for a moment, wiped the rain on his face, and picked up the communication jade talisman: "Old Qiu! Old Luo! The rain is not right, let it go first!"

A few seconds later, Commander Qiu's anxious voice came: "I just laid down a hill, and if we withdraw at this time, isn't our work today in vain?"

Commander Luo didn't want to withdraw either: "Old Geng, most of these plants have taken root and cannot escape. We withdraw now to give them a chance to breathe."

Commander Geng looked up to the direction of the coast, his heart beating: "Listen to me, retreat first! Don't forget the rainy season last year, go home first, the rear is safe, and this battle can only be fought!"

The three discussed back and forth for several minutes, and finally the other two commanders followed Commander Geng's orders and agreed to retreat.

Boom boom boom!

The human drums sounded, and the rhythm was completely different from that of the attack. All the humans who were fighting on the front line subconsciously left the battle when they heard the sound of the retreating drums, and retreated in an orderly manner.

Although the territory that was hard-earned all day today was given up, no one objected. For more than a year, every war told them that it is always right to obey orders obediently.

After the humans retreated, the monsters also quickly left the battle to find a place of refuge.

All the plants were just born this year, they have not yet realized the seriousness of the matter, but the actions of humans and monsters are too abnormal, fearing that there will be a trap, the royal family of plants ordered the same family to stop their pursuit and wait and see.

Rumble!

As soon as the army at the Hope base returned to the base, a terrifying and familiar voice came from the direction of the sea.

Commander Luo's pupils tightened when he returned to the command post: "The tornado is coming again?"

Commander Qiu looked scared: "Fortunately, we withdrew. If we stay in the open area, I'm afraid there won't even be a place to hide."

Commander Geng breathed a sigh of relief: "Go and help Lao He and the others organize everyone into an underground shelter."

People in the base took action one after another. It was not the first day they had done the evacuation. As early as the morning when the battle started, the wounded and those who were not good at fighting had experienced enough to hide in the evacuation shelter so as not to cause trouble for everyone. , and what needs to be done now is to let the soldiers on the front line go in as well.

After a while, Hope Base turned into an empty city. Everyone hid underground, listening nervously to the whistling sound of the tornado getting closer.

A storm was approaching quickly, and the strong wind swept away many soils, plants and even animals on the ground. When passing by the Hope Base, countless cracks appeared on the city walls and many buildings due to tearing.

Now it is a new world, the land is stable enough, and the hurricane cannot easily tear apart the entire mountain range like last year, so the most affected by this storm are only the creatures on the ground. Their hunting becomes easier.

The storm had just arrived, and some monsters who had just hid in the refuge felt a change in the ground. At first, they thought it was a small earthquake caused by the storm, but later found out that it was a worm that burrowed into the ground and made a frightened and angry cry.

The worms in the abyss are very bullying and afraid of the strong, and they will never approach the territory of the strong. This caused the territory unfortunately attacked by the worm to soon spread a bloody smell.

Some monsters didn't want to be eaten by worms, and desperately left their shelters to fight for a chance of survival, but were swept into the air by the wind as soon as they came out, and their lives and deaths were unknown.Some monsters knew that they might die if they were swept away by the storm, so they simply fought against the worms. Most of these monsters were buried in the belly of the worms, and only a few escaped with their special talents.

Worms eat everything, and what happens to monsters happens to plants and humans.

The difference is that the plants themselves have well-developed root systems, and they are born with various attack and defense capabilities of group unity. Therefore, after discovering the traces of worms, the royal families in the jungle united and ordered all plants to construct an underground defense network. Give the worm too much of a chance.

The plants couldn't get much cheaper, so the worms focused their hunting on the other two races.

It is hoped that the more than 2000 million people in the base will be distributed in [-] shelters according to the area. These shelters were originally built because the worm first appeared and caused too much damage to the base, so as not to repeat the same mistakes.

Although the shelter was cracked and collapsed by several major expansion earthquakes later, I hope the base has already mastered which material is the most resistant to worms' ability to penetrate the ground. As long as there is a problem with the shelter, it will be repaired as soon as possible, and there will be a major expansion. The time difference brought about is that even if the worms come at the fastest speed after each earthquake, they can't eat this hard bone.

The previous few times the worms had failed, but tonight was different.

Some worms tricked the king into the "delayed bomb" that was sent from the root system to the ground on the plant side. "Attach to the worm, wait for a while, the worm has gone far enough, and when the bomb explodes, it will not only teach these cunning guys a lesson, but will not accidentally injure their own people.

But neither the royal family of plants nor humans thought that the worms would actually take these "delay bombs" outside the shelter of the Hope Base. The "delay bombs" that were supposed to be attached to the worms were just moved to the bottom of the shelter. .

The shelter was damaged by plant bombs in the morning, and the earth awakeners worked overtime to repair it, and it was bombed with several holes in the evening.

Familiar explosions sounded, a strong smell of blood spread underground, abyss worms swarmed, and a big battle kicked off in the refuge gap.

Throughout the night, the nearby creatures were exhausted by the powerful natural disaster and the sneak attack of the worms. Only the creatures inside the protective cover of the tree house were not harmed.

The hurricane swept in front of the blue water curtain protective cover, causing ripples in the water curtain, and occasionally there were a few crackling sounds in the air. It sounded that the protective cover would not last long at all.

A few hours passed, and the clicking sound continued. The water curtain protective cover still stood in the jungle. The hurricane outside continued to tear away all kinds of objects on the ground. All kinds of garbage and corpses flew onto the protective cover, but they could not pass through the defensive formation an inch.

"How did you do it?" Qi Jiang stood in front of the window and looked at the rippling water curtain in the sky with bright eyes. "This is the first time we have faced natural disasters with our own strength."

"With my current ability, even if I use a formation disk, a simple protective cover really can't stop natural disasters." Su Qing was a little helpless, "But, don't I know how to teleport formation? I refined the transmission formation disk before. At that time, I was wondering if the giant forest is so close to the sea, would there be frequent typhoons, so I simply tried to combine the protective cover with the teleportation array."

I originally wanted to try it again when I moved to the giant forest, but I didn't expect to use it now, but the effect is not bad.

"So... now you have transferred the damage caused by the wind to other places?"

"Well, it spread to the outside of the jungle, and there is no one there."

"With your formation, I will refine the new home into a magic weapon, and the safety of the home will be..." Qi Jiang said halfway, feeling that he couldn't talk too much, "At least it is better to deal with a hurricane that is two or three times stronger. no problem."

Su Qing was not afraid of being slapped in the face, and said directly: "The defense of our base camp will definitely be updated all the time, and the safety of our home will definitely not be a problem."

The next day, the rain cleared and the storm left a mess.

As long as the creatures who experienced the rainy season last year can easily find that although the storm last night was several times stronger than last year's, the damage it caused was far less than last year's.

This is a new world. There are plants on the ground in the mountains and forests. Humans' own bases are at least made of materials handed over from the old and new worlds. The monsters have already built shelters in their territories to deal with natural disasters in different seasons.

Therefore, the loss of monsters and humans is not as great as imagined.

Although the mutated plants are not well prepared, there is an underground defense network. Except for the mutated plants that were injured or careless, most of the mutated plants are still safely rooted in the soil, but some of them are injured. Just hurt.

In any case, the natural disaster has passed safely, and the situation is much better than last year.

Humans and monsters have to organize their territories first, but the mutated plants without a fixed territory will continue to expand to the other two races after an hour or two, implementing the policy of "killing others while they are sick".

The stability of the rear is related to the battle situation ahead. Humans and monsters finally decided to take a step back and stick to the territory, and then continue to fight back after the rear is settled.

Therefore, the territory occupied by the mutated plants was only temporarily in their hands, and it didn't last long before being snatched back by the original owner.

A week later, the three clans fought again. This battle for territory lasted for half a month. After the three clans started fighting again, because they had made enough preparations, no one could beat the other in the end.

The battle calmed down not because anyone had the upper hand, but because the abyss worms fished in troubled waters in the battle and caused many casualties, which directly annoyed the three tribes.

In the end, the three clans worked together to kill many abyss worms, driving these despicable worms back into the abyss like chasing dogs, and the war finally came to an end.

From then on, human beings, monsters and mutated plants divided the world, mutated plants retreated to the dense forest, and humans and monsters shared the forest.

Everyone also made an agreement to pay close attention to those despicable bugs in the abyss, and once found, the three clans will hunt down and kill them immediately!

After experiencing this war, everyone also knows that mutated plants are just a general term. Not all mutated plants have intelligence, like weeds on the ground, and some plants in the jungle can move, but they just instinctively resist. It is without wisdom.

In the plant family, there are intelligent and irritable alien plants, and there are also mild-tempered spiritual plants. Although the former two account for less than one ten-thousandth of the plant family, they have the ability to command the plants in the world .

And other plants that have no spiritual intelligence and do not enter the grade are collectively referred to as Fanzhi in the previous practice circles, and plants that have no spiritual intelligence but have entered the grade are also classified as spiritual plants.

In other words, both Yizhi and Lingzhi have grades. Yizhi must have spiritual wisdom. Lingzhi is divided into two types: spiritual wisdom and non-spiritual wisdom. The former is rare in number and powerful, while the latter is numerous and weak in strength. The potential of wisdom is born, so it is generally protected by the former.

After the three clans finished cleaning the battlefield, many mutated plants moved one after another. Even the rooted plants left the jungle with the help of the royal family. Zhizhi, Lingzhi and the largest number of mortal plants remained.

At the end of March, just a week after the battle for the territory ended, the spiritual plants and alien plants in the jungle left in disorder, because the proportion of alien plants and spiritual plants was too small, and the whole jungle did not seem to have changed much. It was still so lush and lush, and the earth pit left by Yi Zhi and Ling Zhi after they left was quickly occupied by Fan Zhi.

When the three clans were vying for the territory, Qi Jiang and Su Qing were not idle, they retreated for more than half a month, and finally did all the things that should be done.

Their map-sending weapons, Qianjizi mother bird, have all been released, and most of them set off from the land bridge, ready to find the location of Gaocheng and Fengcheng for the two masters.

The long-distance teleportation array has also been successfully tested. In the past two days, they have used the teleportation array to travel to many places. Although the destination of the teleportation is very random because there is no teleportation altar on the other side, judging from the position of the space anchor, the distance is indeed is up to the mark.

This distance must be enough to cross the inland sea.

Because they haven't moved to the giant forest, so after the experiment was successful, Su Qing dismantled the altar and arranged it to the giant forest after moving. Only a small teleportation array was left in the tree house. For the altar, wait for them to move, and then set up the space anchor point, so that they don't have to travel hard to and fro between the two places in the future.

In addition, after discussing with Qi Jiang, Su Qing also made a new communication jade talisman. From now on, the teleportation array will be the base station. As long as the communication jade talisman is of sufficient level within the transmission range, private chats can be realized. , group chat and other functions are similar to their previous phones.

Su Qing has achieved results here, and Qi Jiang has also made a larger space and more functional magic weapon. After using their feathers as a driver, a small three-point faster than Su Qing's current speed The flying boat was also born in the small tree house.

When working on these things in retreat, the two of them did not forget to refine the purple qi every morning to practice. The level of purple qi is high enough, and only one wisp a day is enough to cover their more than ten days of cultivation. How to form a pill, Su Qing also touched the threshold of the late foundation establishment stage.

Because it is just a step away, and the research has come to an end, so Qi Jiang wants to continue to retreat and try to form a pill.

Su Qing also wanted to break through the late stage of foundation establishment in one go, and Sangu Jushu tried to find a way to make Xiang Shengshu recognize the master, and then both of them could form alchemy.

However, after they made this plan, the semi-dormant Creation Tree suddenly woke up: "Susu, you can go to the lake in the southeast between two rivers to fish for scales."

"The scale key?" Su Qing asked subconsciously.

"Well, you haven't been there for a long time. That old guy can't stay anymore. He lost a key a week ago. I think you are busy, so I might as well help you let that old guy hang out first."

"I have to go to the giant forest after I get the key. If I don't go, Xiang Shengshu might get into trouble." Su Qing calmly continued to paste various defensive charms on the doors and windows, "I'm almost there." In the later stage of foundation establishment, let’s go in a few days.”

"Your golden core is going to cross the catastrophe, are you sure you want to be here?"

"Why can't it be here? Just set up a defensive array to keep other creatures away." Su Qing was puzzled.

Qi Jiang, who came out of the kitchen, saw that Su Qing stopped what he was doing, and his expression changed a few times before he knew that he was chatting with the Creation Tree.

Seeing that his expression was not quite right, Qi Jiang came over: "Susu, what's wrong?"

Seeing Qi Jiang approaching, the Creation Tree appeared outside, floating in the air: "We are talking about going to the giant forest in advance."

"Why?" Qi Jiang frowned, "Susu hasn't broken through yet. If Xiang Shengshu wants to recognize the Lord in advance, Susu will not be able to refuse, and then he will be stuck on the golden core again. This is not a problem. Little things."

"I originally planned to let Susu go to the giant forest in the later stage of foundation construction, so that I can guarantee that Susu will be able to get the golden pill directly after he recognizes the master of the tree." The tree of creation sighed and explained the reason to them: "During this time, I I didn't find any vision. Now that you are about to break through, it is very likely that you will be the first golden elixir. When the vision comes to the world, the whole world can see it. I can't hide it for you here. I can only go to the giant forest. Let me and Xiang Shengshu work together to cover up your aura, so that you will not be remembered by some evil spirits and become a Tang monk in the eyes of others."

After hearing his explanation, Su Qing was startled, and hurried out: "Then go, I'll go get the key."

"Wait." Qi Jiang held him back, a gleam flashed in his eyes, "Is the vision coming to the world a gift from heaven?"

The buds of the Creation Tree nodded: "That's right."

"Actually, I can feel that my talent is not as good as Susu's, but at the beginning I was the first person to recognize the magic weapon, so I got the first prize. In the follow-up, I sometimes encountered bottlenecks in my cultivation and awakening. There will be a flash of inspiration, this should be a gift from heaven, right?" Qi Jiang said while thinking.

"Yes, the flash of inspiration you mentioned is actually similar to an epiphany. This is a priceless treasure."

"Then if Susu and I form alchemy together, can we get No.1 together?" Qi Jiang's eyes lit up, "Susu lagged behind me before, but it was all because I recognized the dragon soul as the master, and you got it early. The gap caused by the recognition of the Lord Susu's failure to feed back his spiritual power when he awakened, if the influence of Dragon Soul and you are thrown away, even if I get the first name, I can't compare to Susu, if I can let Susu take it once First name, then Susu should not have any bottlenecks."

The swaying little Miao Miao of the Creation Tree froze, it was hard to imagine that he was so bold: "You are trying to squeeze..." Tian Dao Wool.

He swallowed the last few words abruptly, because he suddenly felt that this is not impossible?

Back then, he was also a good hand at pulling the wool of the Heavenly Dao, and he was familiar with this kind of thing. Although he was hacked by the unbearable Heavenly Dao later, he was actually very unconvinced in his heart.

"You guys go to the giant forest first, I'll help you think of a way first, and Qi Jiang should stop practicing until I think of a way." The Fortune Tree disappeared into the air with some excitement, and returned to Su Qing's dantian to fall into a semi-dormant state.

Qi Jiang's eyes were shining brightly: "Come on, I'll accompany you to find the key."

"Is this okay?" Su Qing frowned tightly, "I always feel that this is unreliable."

"The Creation Tree has lived for so long, and if it can survive in the hands of Heaven, the method he thought of must be feasible." Qi Jiang pulled Su Qing out without any explanation.

"But what if you screw up and you have a problem with your alchemy?" Su Qing stood there and didn't want to leave. Seeing that he was still thinking about it, he quickly shook his hand away, "Don't listen to the nonsense of the Creation Tree, listen to His tone is so excited, he is completely different from before, it feels too unreliable, and forming alchemy is not a trivial matter, I don't want you to mess around."

"Okay, okay, I didn't mess around." Qi Jiang continued to drag him out, dumbfounded, "If you don't believe in the Creation Tree, can you still not believe me?"

Su Qing opened his mouth: "I don't believe you, but this matter..."

"Have you forgotten how we got here before? We used to be the pioneers, but what happened later?" Qi Jiang looked at Su Qing seriously, "Over the past year, we were afraid of being one step behind because of our sexual differences. Now we have a chance to stand out. If we succeed, even if we make wrong decisions in the future, we still have the chance to make mistakes, so why not?"

In this world, not everyone has the chance of trial and error.

Su Qing opened his mouth, quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind, and finally took a deep breath: "Okay, but if something goes wrong, we will each form an alchemy."

Qi Jiang curled his lips and smiled: "Okay."

The two quickly flew to the lake in the southeast direction to look for the key. The lake was very large, and the breath of the key was restrained. They entered the water and almost turned the lake over to find it.

The key is still a familiar key, and the guide is also a familiar guide, but Su Qing's mood now is quite different from before.

Out of respect for Xiang Shengshu, Su Qing didn't go directly to the giant forest, but went back with Qi Jiang to pack up his things and prepare to move.

Before moving, the two went to Hope Base and told Brother Chen that they were going to move.

"If anything happens in the future, just teleport from the tree house to the giant forest. This is a directional teleportation, and there will be no problems." Qi Jiang told Brother Chen how to use the teleportation array and its location, "But We won’t be able to send it within a week, and we’ll let you know when we set up the altar over there.”

"Isn't the range of the communicable jade talisman [-] kilometers?" Brother Chen was moved and reluctant, but also very puzzled, "How to notify?"

The new communication jade talisman was in Su Qing's place, Qi Jiang turned around and called out: "Susu?"

Su Qing came back to her senses, and said, "I'm here, what's wrong?"

"Call me." Qi Jiang reminded helplessly.

"What phone? The phone still works now?" Brother Chen couldn't understand again.

"In the future, the function of the communication jade talisman will be similar to that of the previous telephone, so we usually call the phone, so it's easy to say." Qi Jiang gave the new communication jade talisman to Brother Chen, "This phone relies on the transmission array to communicate, so the range is only It has a radius of about 200 million kilometers, and we will replace it with a new one when we finish the teleportation array that is farther away."

Brother Chen paused as he reached out to take it: "How much is this?"

"If I take your money, wouldn't I be forced to buy and sell?" Qi Jiang put the phone into Brother Chen's hand, "When we find Fengcheng, I will also send a batch out. You are not a special case."

"I know, but I just feel sorry for it." Brother Chen turned around and took out a box from his Qiankun bag, "This is the animal pill I saved, and I will pay off part of the debt first."

Originally, he wanted to save a little more and pay it back, but now, if he waits any longer, he won't be able to sleep at night,

"Why do you still remember this?" Su Qing was a little bit dumbfounded, but he didn't refuse. He opened the box and took a look, "No matter how precious the medicine was back then, this box of yours can be worth all the beast pills. How can I say so?" Part of it?"

"I don't even count the Qiankun bag and the flying carpet you gave me." Brother Chen shook his head, "You must be very expensive, and of course I can't just ask you for nothing."

With Brother Chen's strength, this box is probably all his savings since he came to Hope Base, how can Qi Jiang let him continue to pay it back.

"As a friend, I will give you the cost price, and don't mention the repayment."

"Knowledge is priceless, one code equals one code."

"That's enough, that's enough." Su Qing put away the beast pill, and said angrily, "Why mother-in-law, you charge retail price for making something for a friend, how ugly do you think our food looks?"

He was scolded as a woman before, but now he is scolded as a mother-in-law. Brother Chen opened his mouth, but finally did not give in.

After leaving Brother Chen's house, Qi Jiang and Su Qing went to Sister Lu to end the lease of the territory, and then they left.

In early April, three months of heavy rain and occasional storms finally showed that the forest's water storage capacity was insufficient. The huge rainfall made the "sponge" of the forest, which was full of water, overwhelmed.

The jungle was normal two days ago, but now the outside world has changed.

The water level of the river began to overflow and open up new tributaries, the area of ​​the lake expanded, and many small ponds in low-lying places joined together to form a wetland.

Looking at the past, this jungle is still lush and lush, but there are new big rivers and new lakes under the ground. The water is either turbid or clear, or rushing or gentle. It has become very difficult for monsters and humans to travel.

The monsters and humans are adapting to the new changes, and Qi and Su in the tree house also came to their new home.
