Chapter 107: Exploring the Star Array Again
The familiar Fengshan, the familiar Pit No. 7.
This hidden cave was once again chosen to carry out the task of privately opening the star array.
But at this time, the mine was filled with high explosives. Just press the detonator button to collapse the mine, and even blow up the entire Pit No. 7 if necessary.
Once the star array is connected to a dangerous world, and once Jiang Xia and others encounter problems during their expedition tonight, this defensive measure can at least buy them some time to escape.
"Boss, why don't you take Niu Hanhan with you?"
In the brightly lit mine pit with several searchlights, Jasmine, who was wearing a skirt, a local hairstyle and goggles, took out several perfectly cut spirit stones from a suitcase at hand.
While speaking to Jiang Xia who was organizing his equipment, he said:
“Hanhan has very good physical fitness.
I heard from Su that the monster couldn't hurt him and he's very strong. Although he's a little stupid and timid, he can at least buy you some time at the critical moment.
At the very least, he can help you carry your things."
"Click"
Jiang Xia inserted the magazine filled with bullets into the brand new Colt gun.
He picked up the HK416 with an extended magazine, a gun rail, a gun cap, and a grenade launcher. It had a very tough shape, and he looked at it professionally from front to back to confirm the status of the weapon.
Then he said to Jasmine beside him:
"Oh, my employees know how to care about the boss. But I'll let Niu Hanhan stay here. You have an important status now, so let him continue to be your bodyguard."
"Sister Julie is here."
Jasmine shook her head and said:
"Also, I have to send some of the equipment in Fengshan to the county town in the next few days. When you come back, I probably won't leave yet. I'm safe here, so let Niu Hanhan go with you.
What if, boss, you encounter a world full of monsters? Your only strength will be fighting ability.
Besides, that monster... I don't believe in it."
As she spoke, Jasmine glanced obscurely at the other side, where the wolf demon Liu Hui was leaning against the mountain wall with her eyes closed and resting.
The monster still covered its body with the cloak, and only a part of its long protruding mouth could be seen. It was very confident in its skills and did not use the weapons that Jiang Xia brought.
Jasmine's meaning was very clear. This wasteland girl still adhered to the values of the wasteland and didn't really believe in the monster who almost killed her boss before.
"If it really goes crazy, having another Niu Hanhan won't help, and it has taken action to win our trust, so we have to respond to it.
Don't worry, I dare to take it there, so I'm not afraid that it will cause any trouble."
Jiang Xia reached out and patted Jasmine's little head.
This girl has been eating well and sleeping well in Kumu Realm during this time. Her originally thin figure has become plump and she is looking more and more like a normal teenage girl.
"But what you said does make some sense."
Jiang Xia stood up and took a look at the star array slate that had been wiped clean and was waiting to be activated a few meters in front of him. He said:
"Hanhan is very strong, not afraid of getting tired, and is very obedient. Bringing him along is like bringing a few more backpacks. We can carry more things. Okay, let him come along."
Jasmine immediately smiled and walked out of the mine.
A few minutes later, Niu Sansheng and Niu Hanhan, who were guarding outside, walked in.
Hanhan has been eating well during this period, and the symptoms of long-term malnutrition have been effectively alleviated. His body, which is more than two meters tall, has become stronger and he looks more and more like a real tough guy.
Except for the innocent smile on his face, that silly smile seriously weakened the deterrent power that this burly man should have, so the fourth brother shaved his head.
This at least makes Hanhan look more capable.
A few minutes later, everything was ready.
Jiang Xia moved his shoulders and put the rifle in his hand on his left shoulder. A row of uniform grenades were hung around his waist. Two more destructive plasma grenades were hung on the right for easy access.
There were two automatic pistols inserted in the shoulder-type gun bag under the windbreaker, one on the left and one on the right. There was also a quick gun bag tied to the left leg, and the large-caliber revolver was placed in it.
Next to him is a classic Remington M870.
This is considered to be armed to the teeth.
But these weights were no pressure at all for his body after his transformation, and he walked as usual.
And Su beside him was even more exaggerated. He was a wasteland warrior with prosthetic limbs. He had more weapons than Jiang Xia, and he even had an M240B on his back for support.
This crazy thing has also been modified by Malte's wasteland magic. There are 200 armor-piercing high-explosive shells in the expanded ammunition box. It is the most powerful thing in this expedition.
Going to explore an unknown world, Su seemed to have regained the passion of a warrior. He also changed back into the tactical outfit of the wasteland and wore a skull half mask made of a polymer.
Looks quite cold.
As for Hanhan who joined temporarily, he didn't have many weapons and he was not good at using them. Lao Si taught him specifically, but Hanhan had a problem with his brain and learned very poorly.
So he carried an ammunition box filled with bullets, explosives, first aid supplies, high-calorie food, etc., and also a mortar barrel.
Of course, it is not the monkey version sold to Governor Hong, but a real deadly weapon modified by the wasteland magic.
"Go ahead."
Jiang Xia lit a cigarette and nodded to Jasmine beside him. The good employee immediately stepped forward and placed the spirit stone in his hand into the stone slab.
As the light of the stone slab lit up, the two stone rings on the slab started to move with a click, and the wolf demon Liu Hui standing behind Jiang Xia suddenly spoke:
"Are you guys so blatant? Although I don't know much about the outside world, but opening a star array privately without reporting it to the cultivators is a violation of the Immortal Alliance's rules, right?
Once the star array is activated and the earth veins are stimulated, it will be detected by the Qintian Academy immediately. Aren't you afraid that Taofu Academy will come knocking on your door?"
"No."
Jiang Xia blew out a smoke ring and looked at the light cocoon in front of him that lit up just as in his memory.
Just like the closed pupils of an animal were about to open, with the senses becoming clearer than before, the spiritual energy around it had been disturbed, like a small spiritual storm.
And they are in the middle of this storm.
"I have a special connection. Don't underestimate your boss, Liu Hui. At least in Fengshan, we are safe."
Jiang Xia glanced above his head and said casually.
The next moment, the light cocoon in front of his eyes slowly opened, like a bright eye, opening the door to another world in the rotation of spiritual energy.
"Walk!"
Jiang Xia took the lead, holding a cigarette and a rifle, and stepped in. As his body was engulfed by the light, Su followed closely behind, and then Hanhan, who was still stuffing dried meat into his mouth.
Finally, it’s Liu Hui.
The wolf demon was obviously very wary of the thing in front of it. In the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, it had occasionally seen those disciples entering and leaving the several star formations managed by the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.
He had also seen with his own eyes the monks of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect using monsters like it as cannon fodder to explore the star array world.
They would just grab one or two little demons and throw them into the star array. If they could come back alive, it meant that they could go to the world over there.
If you can't come back.
It means that there is danger on the other side and the star array will be temporarily sealed.
For a large sect like the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, they do not need to risk their lives to explore the star array to gain rewards and compensation. For them, this is more like a boring attempt in their spare time.
It's better with it.
No, nothing to lose.
"Hey, are you going or not?"
After Jiang Xia left, Jasmine, who had been a good girl, immediately became rude. Wearing goggles, she shouted at the hesitant Liu Hui in an angry voice:
"You are a big monster, but you don't have the courage of a mortal like the boss. Are all you monsters so cowardly?"
"Little girl, be careful with your words!"
Liu Hui pulled at her hood, bared her teeth at Jasmine, and said:
"Other monsters aren't as easy to talk to as I am."
After saying that, the blindfolded wolf demon carefully put on a layer of wind shield, then stepped into the light. The next moment, its body was swallowed up by the halo.
At the same time, further up, in the mountain monster's lair at the top of Fengshan Mountain, the inspector of Taofu Court, Lord Pomegranate, was holding a game console in one hand while writing his work report for the day.
It held the brush with its little paws and wrote in crooked handwriting on the special letter paper for Taofuyuan:
"On the ninth day of the first lunar month, at the southern border of the Eastern Land, local mortals explored the Star Array, with cultivators and spirit beasts guarding them. This was in accordance with the Immortal Alliance's rules, and the secret realm was opened to stimulate the earth veins.
But then it was discovered that the star array was connected to a secret realm and had fallen into the cold abyss of the stars and the moon. There was no living creature and the entire world was destroyed.
Later, a monk witnessed the abandoned star array being sealed permanently.
Other than that, everything went as normal and nothing happened.”
——
Liu Hui, the last one to pass through the star array, took a deep breath as her first reaction when she stepped into the new world.
In fact, Jasmine had wrongly blamed it just now.
Although Liu Hui is simple, she is not without courage.
What's more, Jiang Xia took the lead and walked in, which made it feel more secure. The real reason why it was unwilling to set foot in the star array was very simple.
The torture it suffered in the wasteland world was already unforgettable enough. A world without spiritual energy was like hell for a monster like it.
but……
"Huh? There's spiritual energy here?"
With a breath, the wolf demon blinked violently, and the ears under the hood turned. What he saw was a shadowy forest in the dark night, and above his head was a strange moon.
The most important thing is that there is spiritual energy in this new world!
Although it is not as full of spiritual energy as the Ku Mu Realm, it does have spiritual energy. However, there is something more in the spiritual energy that Liu Hui cannot explain clearly, which makes it feel very uncomfortable.
“Come here quickly!”
Just as Liu Hui was looking around, Jiang Xia's voice sounded in the communication of its brain chip, and the target was in a valley a few hundred meters to the left front.
The wolf demon rushed over, only to find the three people who had gone ahead were lying beside a rock, looking down.
"Shh!"
Jiang Xia made a gesture to silence it and pointed downwards.
"There's a fight going on over there. Don't rush out. Stay here for a while and observe the situation."
"This new world is very interesting."
