After the fog, I became a birdman

Chapter 95 The Dry Season

"Old Zhang, do you know why we were called here today? It seems that many people have been called."

In Fengcheng Base Combat Regiment Camp, a few people wearing patrol uniforms walked in from outside. They seemed to be very unfamiliar with this place, so they would take a closer look at the guiding arrows on the wall from time to time.

The person called Lao Zhang was a silent man who looked to be in his late thirties, with a thin figure and sharp eyes. He didn't answer when he heard the words, but shook his head slightly.

Seemingly used to his character, seeing that he didn't know, the person who asked the question went to ask others again.

While talking, a few people came to the school grounds, saw a few familiar people, everyone shrank their pupils, shut their mouths one after another, and followed to the end of the line to stand still.

A few minutes later, two more people came out of the aisle. They seemed to be more familiar with this place. The leader was a heroic short-haired woman. He turned his head in doubt: "Strange, isn't the survey team always exploring outside? Why are you free to come to our battle group today?"

The cute girl next to her shook her head slightly: "I don't know, but Zhou Chen is here, and several acquaintances in our group are also there, so it's probably not a trivial matter."

A black-skinned short-cut boy quickly walked up behind the two of them. He looked very young, and his tone was casual: "Sister He, you are walking so fast, wait for me."

Sister He didn't turn her head back, and even accelerated her speed. After rolling her eyes, she walked to the end of the line and stood up.

The black-skinned short-skinned boy grinned and trotted up to follow, seeing a few stern-faced bosses in the team, he shut his mouth obediently, and at the same time was very puzzled.

What kind of wind is blowing today?As soon as the sun went down, it was the time when time was most precious. As soon as he went to work, his boss asked him to come to the battle group. The people who came here to meet were all outstanding figures from various departments.

Not only him, other people also have this doubt, but as long as they entered the team, everyone shut their mouths and waited quietly for the next order.

Half an hour later, other people came to the school field one after another, and the number 120 people were neatly lined up among them, which shocked everyone.

As we all know, no matter their age, as long as they are talented and self-motivated, the base will vigorously cultivate them, so most of these people hold important positions.

Among the 120 people who came today, half of them are people who have grown up and can be independent, and the other half are patients who have just recovered from the canyon coast.

But among the 60 people in the latter, everyone present is no stranger, because this is the person who was personally called by Master Han and sent back to the base by the battle group. In the past few days, everyone has met face to face.

Without exception, it is said that these people are all extremely talented people. They have suffered from serious illnesses, and they have passed through the gate of hell once, and their tenacity is not inferior to anyone.

That is to say, if there is no accident, they will be the mainstay of the Fengcheng base in the future, and they will be valued by the base.

Now it's hard not to think about bringing them together all at once.

Da da da!

Familiar footsteps came, and the voice of Mr. Han, who was very familiar to everyone, seemed to be bargaining with an acquaintance: "It's really impossible to choose three out of ten, and one out of three."

A slightly familiar voice sounded, with a cold tone, and he refused without hesitation: "No time."

"Can't I increase the size?"

Another more indifferent voice sounded: "The one with extra credit?"

This more familiar voice shocked everyone's hearts. Many people's eyes lit up, their breathing was a little short, and they looked at the entrance of the passage expectantly.

It's Consultant Su!

Oh my god, Advisor Su actually came to the base!

Teacher Han sighed: "Oh, I will pay it back, you will never suffer, just treat it as a face for me."

"It's enough to give you face." Qi Jiang was a little speechless.

What do you want after letting you pay on credit?Being a good teacher, I don't know why he can become more and more shameless.

The three of them walked out of the passage, Master Han's expression became serious, and he and Su Qing came in front of the crowd, and greeted all his subordinates under the setting sun: "Good afternoon, everyone."

"Hello, teacher!"

The voice was much louder than usual, Master Han glanced at the dozens of people below who couldn't help but stare at Su Qing, and smiled: "It seems that Consultant Su is more popular than me."

Su Qing remained expressionless: "Let's start."

Don't think that being close can make him soft-hearted, choose three out of ten?Why not just call them all to his house?

Teacher Han coughed lightly, and continued to grind: "Choose ten first, and keep a few at the end, and we will talk about it at that time."

Everyone was a little puzzled, why did the teacher seem to be begging for mercy?

Qi Jiang and Su Qing looked at each other, and they could tell that Mr. Han didn't want to give up. In fact, since they arrived in Mr. Han's office in the evening, Mr. Han had been trying to make them change their minds.

Well, the last time Qi Jiang went to chat with him, he didn't insist on choosing one of the three options, so he talked about it at that time.

But until now, his survey team has not found any new wind-type spiritual veins, let alone a thunder-type, so he has no confidence, but has been unwilling to give up.

He even ran to his subordinates to lose face, and Qi Jiang and the two couldn't make him lose face again, so they could only take a step back.

"Six." Su Qing didn't have the patience to teach so many.

Hearing this, Master Han knew that this was the bottom line, Qi Jiang, who listened to Su Qing without asking anything, nodded in agreement: "Okay, then six."

After the words fell, he came to the subordinates, and his tone was unprecedentedly serious: "Everyone should be very curious why you were called here today, who are these two, I don't think I need to introduce more?"

Of course, no introduction is needed. Consultant Su and his family. When they were still in Fengcheng, Consultant Su saved so many people. Now the plague is solved by the couple. Who doesn’t know each other?

Everyone smiled, looking forward to the next thing.

"Since we all know each other, I won't introduce any more." Teacher Han nodded slightly, "During this time, I heard that you have many questions about mutation and cultivation that you want to ask, but you can't find anyone to ask them. You don't know about mutation. What is the path, and I don’t know how to discover my abilities, and I don’t know much about cultivation?”

Hearing this, everyone nodded obediently, with some bitterness in their eyes.

Isn't that right? I clearly feel that the road is ahead, but I just can't go out. Mutations can still be explored through battles, and cultivation is just like a heavenly book.

I originally wanted to ask the cultivation department, but they were half full, and I asked many times, and after a while, I would find out that this was wrong...

It's very bad.

As time goes by, although everyone is holding a post in the cultivation department, they feel that some of the people who receive high salaries are not worthy of their names, their virtues are not worthy, and their effect on the base is not as great as what they say or plan. Very unconvinced.

But Mr. Han also said that the groups of Qi training group, formation alchemy and talisman group are very useful, but they are still in their infancy, and it will be fine when they find a suitable leader.

Moreover, when they were in Fengcheng, the monks of these five groups did have a lot of credit.

Therefore, even if everyone is not convinced, it is hard to say anything.

Mr. Han also understood everyone's dissatisfaction, and now his favorite minister had also brought him. He quietly looked at Su Qing's expression, and saw a expressionless face without any surprise.

He calculated the assets of the base again, and could only sigh regretfully: Please can't afford it, let's cultivate it by ourselves.

"In terms of cultivation, Advisor Su is now at the sixth level of Qi training, and Advisor Qi is now at the fourth level of Qi training. On the level of mutation, Advisor Su has now obtained the bloodline inheritance, and Advisor Qi has also been able to collect the natal magic weapon Into the body. The two of them are invited to come here today because I want to select six people from the base to train for a month. If you have any questions in the future, just ask these six people.” Master Han dropped a bomb.

hiss!

Everyone gasped, and finally understood what they were here for today.

Both Qi and Su are outstanding in Fengcheng no matter whether they are cultivating or mutating. They can even occupy the entire snow-free mountain range and live like ducks in water outside.

This is strength!

Everyone's eyes were hot, their breathing was short, and there was a determination in their eyes that they must win. When their eyes touched the comrades around them again, there was only pure fighting spirit left.

They will not forget what Master Han and Consultant Su said a few minutes ago. This time, there are only six people!

There is a road to the sky ahead, if you miss it, you will be gone.

Teacher Han is very satisfied with everyone's performance, but at the same time he feels a little embarrassed, because the base does not have enough money, otherwise the children can go to school together!

"Everyone guessed right. We will select six of you. After one month, only the top ones will be able to stay. As for how many people can stay, there will be no more than three."

Many people subconsciously clenched their fists and looked at Su Qing and Qi Jiang with burning eyes.

"Consultant Qi, Consultant Su, what are the selection criteria for today?" Mr. Han was a little curious.

"Whether it's mutation or cultivation, they all lead to the same goal on my side. They are all for self-protection in the troubled times." Su Qing looked at Qi Jiang, "Brother Jiang, just choose people based on their strength."

Just as Qi Jiang had this intention, he glanced at the sundial on the high place: "I heard that half of you have already experienced many battles. From now on, the first three will hold the corpses of gregarious half-monsters or any monsters. Those who came here with the corpse of the beast are the finalists, and by this time tomorrow, if no one has returned, the three quotas will be voided immediately, and you can leave now."

Everyone looked at the sundial, and it happened to be 07:30!

Among the team, [-] people ran out immediately, and only [-] thin and weak-looking people were left, and they looked at Qi and Su nervously.

"Consultant Su, how do we choose the remaining 60 people?" Master Han looked at Su Qing. Qi Jiang had already made his request, so it should be Su Qing's turn to say it, right?

"My master will only accept me as a disciple." Qi Jiang couldn't help declaring his sovereignty, "At that time, everyone will remember my name, and Susu will just help and give pointers."

Tsk, the fun of the young couple is really tiresome.

Knowing that Su Qing won't be a hands-off shopkeeper, Mr. Han still cooperates with the young couple to perform: "Consultant Qi, how do we choose the remaining 60 people?"

Qi Jiang put forward his request with a trace of satisfaction: "You are all at the same starting line, so I will test you in the same way. Tonight, the sandstorm will start. If you persist for more than 5 minutes, the last three people who fall down will be the finalists. We will ask Mr. Han to preside over the matter, please pay attention to safety."

Teacher Han's expression was serious, and he nodded quickly: "Okay, leave it to me."

"It's time for this, so let's go back first." Su Qingchao and Master Han nodded lightly, "Come and have a look tomorrow."

Master Han waved back the crowd, sent Su Qing and the other two out, and asked tentatively, "It's all based on strength, won't the one with higher talent be buried? I also want to choose the head of the cultivation department from among the six. This is not good." It only depends on strength, right? You also need to learn some refining tools and alchemy and spirit talisman formations?"

"No, the cultivation world also respects strength. As for what you said..." Su Qing smiled half-smile, "How can I teach you well in a short while?"

Master Han cursed in his heart: Isn't there a ready-made instant apprentice here?Isn't your husband also taught by you?

Su Qing knew what he was thinking at a glance, and shook her head slightly: "Mr. Han, geniuses are hard to come by, and besides, I don't have the heart to teach so much."

"Then is there any way to quickly become a minister of the cultivation department?" Master Han sighed slightly.

"Cultivation can't be done quickly." Su Qing shook his head disapprovingly, "Putting seedlings to encourage growth will only destroy a talent, so it's better to let nature take its course."

There is also a way to speed up the mutation, directly use spiritual objects to pile up to the stable period, and then recognize the main magic weapon to know where the way is, this is another beginning.

But no matter how quick it is, at this point, using spiritual objects can't speed up the evolutionary path, and you still need to polish it slowly.

Cultivating one way... If you want to make a quick success without harming yourself, you can only take the lead in the mutation one, like them, let the blessings of heaven and earth help them make a quick success.

But such an opportunity, who knows if there will be a second time?

In the final analysis, practicing honestly is better than anything else. After a long time, you can always meet your own opportunities.

Master Han sent them out of the base: "Then I will leave it to the two of you during this time."

Knowing that he was anxious, Su Qing also nodded to reassure him: "As long as your supply of resources is sufficient, after a month, I guarantee that they will all be able to defeat ordinary monsters."

Mr. Han must be sure, thinking about the plan that Su Qing and the two told him before, knowing that the first month is mainly to explore the ability of mutation, and knowing that everyone still has a long way to go.

In fact, the base's resources are not insufficient, but they just don't know how to use their strength. Even in the stable period, everyone doesn't know where the road is, and the matter of mining the mutation ability is not smooth.

Maybe it's because of their talent, Qi and Su don't seem to encounter this problem, it feels like there is no bottleneck, every time I see them, I have a feeling that these two have become stronger again.

That's why Master Han chose them as guides.

This is a very important role, otherwise, why would Mr. Han be willing to invite Su Qing and Qi Jiang with blood?

Because there are no mutated animals in the snow-free mountain range, Su Qing and the two did not take Shan Shan back, but let her hunt here by herself.

As for whether she wants to re-join the battle pet department, or whether she wants to continue to cooperate with Shantu, that's her business.

Back home, Su Qing went to see Jin Jin again, and found that the temperature inside the cave was very high. He knew that his mutation had entered a new stage, but there was still no sign of breaking the shell.

After blocking the entrance of the cave, Su Qing and Qi Jiang returned home together. Qi Jiang continued to ponder his refining tools and alchemy, while Su Qing was pondering the fusion of dark matter and mental methods during his practice.

He has been researching this matter, and now he has finally made a big progress, and he will probably be able to come up with a new mental method after a while.

What Su Qing changed was the fire element method, because this is the attribute he is most familiar with, and it is also convenient for him to judge the effect of the new method after being changed.

As long as he is sure that the direction is right, then he will be able to change a new mental method for Qi Jiang, and also let Qi Jiang switch to a new mental method.

Time passed quickly, and Su Qing and the two went to Fengcheng base again the next day.

"Brother Jiang, are these solitary mutants going out of the base with big bags moving?" Su Qing stopped in the air.

"Now there are more people in the base, and the power is also increasing. Flying all the way, there are much fewer half-monsters entrenched nearby than before. It is safe to live near the base. It is indeed time for them to move out." Qi Jiang Wei Wei raised her eyebrows, "I heard that many things have happened during this period, probably because my instincts can't be suppressed."

As they thought, when the two came to the base to inquire, a new notice was indeed issued this morning.

Alone mutants who can protect themselves are allowed to move out.

This matter has been discussed at the base all the time, because the Fengcheng base has not gained a firm foothold and the plague has not been resolved, so Master Han has not agreed to everyone moving out.

Of course, everyone understands that, and has been waiting for the day when they can move out.

As soon as the notice was issued, as long as the mutants who had confidence in themselves moved out in a hurry, the location of the new home was not chosen by themselves, but arranged by the base, not far from the base guard post.

The base is arranged according to their habits, because everyone's strength is not enough to face monsters now, so each residence is arranged relatively close so that they can take care of each other, which also shows that when everyone's strength becomes stronger in the future, everyone can be allowed to freely Choose your territory.

Most people don't want to leave the base too far psychologically. Although the current territory is small, it is indeed much safer to obey the arrangement. Of course, they will not object. Those who object can also go out to find the territory by themselves, and the base will not interfere.

Of course, nowadays most of the powerful mutants living alone are in important positions and have to go back to work every day. They did not move out to leave the base, but to need a breathing space, so few people would object to such an arrangement .

At the same time, the base also issued a bronze bell to each territory, so that they can notify each other if there is anything, and they will also be the first sentry post.

If the mutation is living alone, it means that they are strong enough, either run fast, have high force, or have high defense. In short, they can protect themselves. In addition, their residence is not far from the base sentry, so they don't worry about it.

Of course, those who are worried will not go out.

As for those with stronger repelling power, they can only be arranged farther away. These people also live as close to the base as possible. The weather is hot, and the monsters will not wander outside during the day, and they are not afraid of danger.

As for the half monster?

The stronger the repelling force, the stronger the strength. Monster beasts can't deal with it, but half-monster beasts are not afraid. As long as they don't live in groups, half-monster beasts can at least protect themselves.

In addition to this large notification, there are two notifications to different groups of people.

One of them is for everyone, especially mutants who are not living alone: ​​you can't trespass on other people's territory without the owner's permission, otherwise you will bear the consequences.

There is also one for the owner of the territory: if you have a password or an ID, you are your own. Generally, you will not enter your territory if you have nothing to do. However, special circumstances will be dealt with specially. I hope you will cooperate when the time comes.

There is also a way to mark the territory on the notice. Instead of using urine or other marking methods like wild animals, but to leave the smell of your own weapons on the border, and leave signs and other things to warn outsiders.

This is a method that refers to the Snowless Mountain Range. When Su Qing saw this, he finally had a feeling that the Fengcheng base was on the right track.

Su Qing left the crowd, and walked towards the battle group with Qi Jiang, whispering as he walked, "Isn't Fengcheng base now short of a strong man who can deter the herd of beasts?"

"Well, the level of the third ladder should be enough around here."

The strength of the downstream monsters is placed on Fengwai Mountain, which is the fourth step, that is, they have just reached the stable stage, and they don't know how to make the magic weapon fully recognize the master's strength.

"That's not difficult." Su Qing smiled and shook her head, "As long as the six students sent here are a little self-motivated."

This matter is indeed not difficult, just use spiritual objects to pile up to the stable period, and then recognize the master with a drop of blood, if it is not possible to recognize the master with blood, then slowly cultivate feelings with the magic weapon.

As long as these two conditions are met, the bloodline inheritance can be awakened, and the outer mountains can be released. This is the level of the third ladder.

When they pass on their experience, as long as there are enough resources, Fengcheng will have more third-tier people.

But how to go further is the focus of the training.

The two chatted quietly while curiously observing the various changes in the Fengcheng base, and walked slowly to yesterday's school grounds. There were already more than seventy people queuing here, and the weak ones were yesterday's last 60 people. There were quite a few of them, and the remaining dozen people had wounds on their bodies, and seven people were wrapped in bandages. It seemed that the wounds had been treated.

Teacher Han is also here, standing alone, with two empty chairs next to him, which are the only chairs in the school grounds.

Seeing Su Qing coming, he nodded with a smile: "Consultant Su, Consultant Qi, sit down quickly."

After Qi and Su sat down unceremoniously, he smiled again and said, "There is still an hour before the deadline, do you want to share your experience with everyone?"

He was afraid that everyone would not be able to learn something, so he secretly rubbed for the benefit.

Su Qing cursed in her heart: How can a person who pays on credit become more and more confident?

Although she was a little speechless, Su Qing still nodded, telling everyone to ask any questions, and they will answer what they know.

"Consultant Su, what is bloodline inheritance?" A black-skinned, short-skinned boy raised his hand like a good student and asked.

"Does anyone know how to make the natal artifact fully recognize its owner? Or have you tried it?" Su Qing asked back.

As soon as the words fell, everyone present looked very puzzled, and the black-skinned boy continued to ask: "Consultant Su, don't you just recognize the master if you know the name of the magic weapon? And completely recognize the master?"

Consultant Qi didn't say before that there is still such a thing as a complete confession of the Lord.

Su Qing took a glance and raised his eyebrows slightly. Did no one really think about this problem?What do others say?

For the first time, he carefully observed everyone's aura, and found that most of them were just single spiritual roots, so he clicked on one of them casually.

"Have you reached the stabilization period?"

The bald man who was asked nodded: "It's here."

A red and blue light flashed in each of Su Qing's different pupils, as if he was scanning, he was a little surprised, and almost overturned in secret.

This bald man obviously has a single spiritual root, and he has also reached a stable period. Logically speaking, his strength should stabilize and stop growing, and he will also echo with the magic weapon. This is also a signal from the magic weapon, reminding the owner to find a way to make it completely Recognize the Lord.

But the strength of this bald man is still not stable, and it seems that there is still an undiscovered ability hidden.

At his current level, he could see the problem of this bald man, so Su Qing was just surprised.

Maintaining an unfathomable posture, Su Qing said with some pity: "You still have a second earth element ability that you haven't discovered yet, and you need to let this ability reach a stable period, and then let the natal magic weapon fully recognize the master."

He looked at several people with strange expressions, and pointed out their current problems one after another. By the way, he told everyone how to make the natal magic weapon fully recognize its owner.

At the same time, he overturned some previous conclusions in his mind.

He used to think that the reason why those monsters in Fengwai Mountain that were not of the king's bloodline walked so fast was because they only had one bloodline, and they knew the way to go when they reached the stable stage for the first time.

After he awakened the bloodline inheritance, he overturned this conclusion, because he found that even if he went through two stable periods, it was just that the abilities of different branches of a bloodline needed to be awakened separately.

At this time, he thought that those monsters in Fengwai Mountain took advantage of not having the blood of the king and therefore not having the ability to branch.

But until now, Su Qing really realized that each bloodline has its own special features, and not only the king's bloodline needs to be awakened separately.

Therefore, the monster beasts in Fengwai Mountain have their own abilities, and there is nothing to take advantage of.

While Su Qing was helping everyone solve problems, Qi Jiang was also answering what he knew.

Gradually, there were more and more people in the school grounds. Those who went out to hunt came back dejectedly, but soon regained their spirits and joined the question-and-answer exchange.

Through this question and answer, Su Qing and Qi Jiang are also correcting some of their previous conclusions, and also realize that the most important thing everyone pays attention to is mutation.

They also didn't realize the importance of cultivation. They only learned the mind method because they heard it would be useful in the future, but it's useless at present, so they didn't pay too much attention to it.

At the same time, no one has studied dark matter, but there are many people who can sense dark matter faintly after reaching the stable period.

When the time was up at 07:30, Su Qing said the last words.

"I found that everyone doesn't seem to like to think. In fact, Consultant Qi and I are also groping forward. Many times we will overturn the previous conclusions. Although we are the pioneers, everyone may find that our words are wrong after a while. Maybe you didn't realize it was wrong at all." Su Qing paused, "Think more, what others say is always more correct than your own personal experiments."

That's all he said.

Everyone was shocked. They understood that Su Qing was asking them to pay more attention to the mental method. This was his experience and advice, and everyone nodded thoughtfully.

Qi Jiang also stood up and ended the question-and-answer exchange: "Then this question-and-answer exchange will end here."

Immediately, the thoughtful people were a little reluctant to part with each other, but everyone had a lot to gain.

Many people were a little lonely because they were not squeezed into the top three and missed this opportunity.

Among them, six people looked happy and looked at Su Qing and Qi Jiang expectantly.

Teacher Han looked at Qi Jiang and said with a smile, "Does Consultant Qi have anything to say? Let's take it as a concluding remark."

That being the case, Qi Jiang said a few more words: "Just as your consultant Su said just now, you can go far by thinking more, and we have always been like this. I think you should also be curious about why we can go so far. So all right?"

Seeing everyone nodding, Qi Jiang continued: "Your consultant Su often told me that no matter what kind of energy it is, it will lead to the same goal in the end. Therefore, when he is practicing, what he cultivates is not cultivation, but the understanding of spiritual energy, and then draw inferences about other cases from one instance. .When I did what he said and learned enough about energy, some of the problems went away."

At the end of the sentence, I caught a glimpse of a proud smile in Su Qing's eyes, and a smile flashed in Qi Jiang's eyes, and then returned to the topic: "Mr. Han, who are the six shortlisted?"

Teacher Han was still thinking about the answer he got just now, and he came back to his senses and called six names: "Tan Yilong, Zhang Bufan, Lin Qixue, He Mao, Huang Lin, Sun Miaomiao, come out!"

Hey!

Six people came out, standing in a row with their heads up and their chests up. The genders were surprisingly even, three men and three women.

Su Qing glanced at the man named Zhang Bufan. He didn't look carefully before, but now he found that this person was two or three points like Captain Zhang.

When he looked over, Zhang Bufan's stern face couldn't hold back anymore. After a few seconds, he still couldn't help showing his big white teeth. The smile was very familiar, so familiar that Su Qing almost couldn't hold back his expression and laughed.

Qi Jiang also noticed him, raised his eyebrows and teased: "Hey, Captain Zhang, did you go for plastic surgery?"
