"Buzz"
The air rippled like waves on the water.
Lao Jiang spread out his spiritual thoughts like a net, covering every corner of the large warehouse. After his cultivation reached the middle stage of Qi training, the space he could carry away when traveling through the world was further expanded.
The divine thought was like a thread, covering her body and causing Gu Miao, who was standing next to Ruyue, to open her eyes wide. She looked around curiously.
Behind her, the one hundred or so surviving members of the Starry Secret Society had been tied up like dumplings with their clothes, and many were injured and on the verge of death.
As for the witch Asuna, she was still tied up with the binding rope and couldn't use any strength at all.
"Buzz"
Lao Jiang's spiritual thoughts spread to the maximum, like a spider web closing in the next moment, and the flower on the first branch of the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree in his sea of ​​consciousness flashed with light.
The next moment, everyone felt the touch of warm water on their faces.
It was like falling into a pool of warm water. When the light faded, what appeared before their eyes was a dark and empty space. Gu Miao immediately let out a cry of surprise.
The reason is simple.
There is no spiritual energy here.
“No matter how many times I come here, I hate this place!”
Liu Hui felt even more uncomfortable with the blindfold on.
It felt like a needle was pricking its body, reminding it of its previous bad experience. It said to Jiang Xia in a somewhat irritable tone:
"Boss, please send me away first. It's not that I'm lazy, it's really..."
"I understand, I understand. You go back first and ask Lao Si to help pack the things. We may have to stay for a few days. According to the time there, we may go back tomorrow.
After we get back, we’ll go to Star Valley.”
Lao Jiang took out the star array of the MAGA world and a spirit stone from his storage ring and threw them to Liu Hui. The latter deftly inserted the spirit stone and opened the star gate back to the Ku Mu Realm at the edge of the underground bunker.
He wagged his tail and ran in without looking back.
"After that, when we open the star array again, we can move to the Red Moon Realm or the MAGA Realm. We don't have to worry about the Qintian Academy's interrogation, which makes us feel a lot more relaxed."
Lao Jiang lit a cigarette and threw a few coins into his prosthetic body, which made him feel a little better.
Ruyue took a few familiar steps back and turned on the power of the open area in the nuclear bunker. Within a few seconds, as the high-power lights were turned on, the entire space suddenly became bright.
The members of the secret society brought by Lao Jiang also looked around in confusion.
On the square cement wall, there was a rusted iron plate that looked like a label, but they didn't recognize the words on it at all.
Moreover, there is a strong, uncomfortable smell inside the bunker, which is easily associated with a prison or shelter.
Asuna the witch has more experience.
After taking a look at the surrounding layout, her face quickly turned pale.
Apparently, she recognized what the place was used for.
"Where is this place?"
Gu Miao foolishly held the immortal money in his hand, trying to ease the discomfort of having his spiritual energy drained away by the surroundings.
She looked up and asked the boss.
The latter glanced at her and said softly:
"This is hell, kid."
"What nonsense are you talking about! How can this place be called hell? This is obviously paradise, okay?"
As soon as Lao Jiang finished speaking, a door in front of the bunker was pushed open, and Rogge, wearing a wasteland bandit's windbreaker, strode in. Behind him, a group of fully armed wasteland warriors emerged.
One by one, they rushed over silently with guns in hand and surrounded the members of the Secret Society. Soldiers in protective clothing roughly lifted up the dying members and took them away.
"They may need prosthetics, but you always have plenty of that stuff here."
Jiang Xia blew out a smoke ring and hugged Rogge who was walking over.
explain:
"I've found some 'reinforcements' for you, but I don't think they will be very well behaved, so you need to train them first and let them adapt to this place."
"Huh? Not being nice?"
Roger narrowed his eyes, put his hands behind his back, and walked slowly to the tied-up witch Asuna. He looked at the witch in front of him who was glaring at him.
The black fox smiled as gentle as an old uncle next door.
The next moment.
"Snap"
A fierce slap landed harshly on the witch's pretty face.
The witch's whole face was raised up and blood was oozing from the corners of her mouth. She was about to struggle, but her slender neck was tightly grasped by Rogge's left prosthetic hand.
The slender body was lifted into the air.
Rogge looked at the witch with disheveled hair, still maintaining a gentle smile on his face, but the words he said made everyone feel a chill that penetrated into their bones.
"I like naughty kids the most."
The black fox watched the witch kicking her legs hard in the air, felt the struggle in her hands, and looked at her painful eyes.
He said:
"If I still can't cure you within half a month, I will write my name upside down. I still say that, my tender little cuties, if you want to cry, cry now..."
"Bang"
The witch, with her hands tied, was thrown onto the cold ground like garbage.
"You are such a thug, treating a poor lady in distress so viciously."
Lao Jiang folded his arms and watched the scene calmly.
He said to Roger:
"Be more normal. Can't you see there's a child? Don't scare her. "
"Yeah, I just noticed it."
Rogge turned around and looked at Gu Miao with a smile. Although Gu Miao's strength could easily defeat Rogge, the black fox, at this moment, she was still frightened by Rogge's smile and kept shrinking behind Ruyue.
This has nothing to do with courage.
It was simply the unique brutality of the wastelanders in Rogue that made the less-informed Gu Miao a little unacceptable.
"Where did this cute little girl come from?"
Black Fox took out a cigar, threw it to Jiang Xia, and said:
"Like Ruyue, is she another newcomer who will be sent here for training? Judging from her appearance, I'm afraid she is not as tough as Ruyue. A child who grew up in such a honeypot should not come to me."
"No, I just brought her here to broaden her horizons."
Jiang Xia waved his hand and said:
"You go ahead and do your work. It may take some time to receive these people. They all have some strange abilities. You should be more attentive. I'll go and rest for a while.
Let’s talk in the afternoon.”
After saying that, Lao Jiang took Ruyue and Gu Miao, who kept looking back, and walked out of the shelter.
Roger shrugged, bent down, and untied the ropes on the wrists of the witch Asuna, who was lying there with blood on her head. He was not afraid.
In the wasteland, a world without spiritual energy, even the most powerful wizard will become extremely weak.
But at the moment when Rogge untied the rope, she lay there, twitching continuously, like a frightened witch, and suddenly black magic power like ink surged all over her body.
The black fox was caught off guard and was completely pulled into the curtain, followed by a painful sound of flesh being crushed.
This sudden change made Jiang Xia stop.
War-weary jumped into his hand, exerted his strength with the Self-Sacrifice Technique, and rushed forward like a swift shadow.
"Snap"
The butt of the war-weary gun hit the witch Asuna's forehead hard, and the dancing arcs of electricity, like the cry of hundreds of birds, entangled in Jiang Xia's left hand, and punched Asuna in the abdomen.
The witch was beaten so hard that she vomited blood. She flew out and hit the wall, then fell to the ground. She struggled for a while, then rolled and crawled towards the still running star array.
but……
Ru Yue's high heels stepped on the witch's palm the next moment, and a cutting sword jumped into her hand. Under the secretary's cold gaze, she chopped it down with one blow.
"ah"
Amidst the screams, the bloody arm flew out, with black witchcraft energy wrapped around it.
But it soon disappeared.
"I really underestimated you! I thought you surrendered. You were just pretending, right? You are worthy of being a tough warrior with a thousand-year heritage."
Kisaragi placed the cutting sword against the neck of the witch who was howling in pain. She said coldly:
"It seems necessary to remind you of the rules here."
"Fire!"
"Bang, bang, bang"
In the bunker, the Black Hand Wasteland Warriors pulled the trigger without hesitation, capturing the Mystic Society prisoners who were being guarded there, and killed one third of them within a second.
Rivers of blood flowed.
Gu Miao didn't look at the pool of blood, but ran over with the Flame Seal, ready to hit the unyielding witch and grind her to ashes.
"Don't kill her."
Rogge, who was helped up by Jiang Xia, held the wound on his neck that was cut by the magic blade. If he didn't have the magical power to strengthen his bones and heal himself, Asuna's fatal blow just now would have easily cut his neck.
The witch obviously didn't want to be humiliated in the wasteland.
She wanted to use this method to end her own life, but she underestimated the strength of Jiang Xia's employees, and also underestimated that there was not so much flesh and blood on Rogge for her to crush.
The wasteland cyborg, which had undergone a major transformation , saved Black Fox once again.
"Leave her to me."
Roger looked at the blood in his hand and said to Lao Jiang:
"I bought her, is that okay?"
"Can you subdue her?"
Lao Jiang asked.
The black fox nodded and said:
"This hot-tempered girl is my favorite. Leave it to me. Have you noticed? Her magic is not affected by the wasteland. She will be a good test subject."
"Well, maybe it's because her magic power comes from the strange objects in her world, rather than from the blessing of spiritual energy, so she can cast spells without spiritual energy."
Jiang Xia stroked his chin and said:
"This is good news. It seems that the wonders of the MAGA world have great potential."
A few minutes later, the witch Asuna, who was locked up by the Binding Rope again, was placed on the workbench. Her right arm was cut off by Kisaragi and needed to be replaced with a new prosthesis.
Rogge did not show any anger after being hurt. With the calmness that a researcher should have, he put on surgical gloves, reached out and patted the stubborn witch who had her eyes closed and a bloody face.
He picked up the syringe of deep anesthetic, flicked it in front of his eyes, and said softly:
"You can cry if you want, ma'am."
"Before you fall into hell, I allow you to cry bitterly. Also, from now on, you are my super slave. Judging from your appearance, you may even be a qualified masturbation cup or something."
——
"I've finished reading it."
In the best house in Black Hand Town, Jiang Xia closed the file in his hand and threw it aside. He stroked the parchment scroll with the symbol of the Star Mystic Society and said to Ruyue who was sorting out her equipment:
“According to their records, the ones who invaded the MAGA world back then were not the monks from the Mohist School, but the monsters from the Dragon Palace in the West Sea.
Those monsters passed through the star array and rushed into their world to plunder. At that time, their world was still in the Middle Ages, and the Holy See formed a coalition to fight against the monsters.
In the end, victory was achieved at a huge cost.
But there is a detail that makes people think deeply. "
Lao Jiang blew out a smoke ring and said to Ruyue:
"It is recorded above that it was the Holy Knights of the Church who charged into the invaders' positions with a desperate charge, paying the price of hundreds of lives before they closed the star gate connecting to the invaders' world..."
"wrong!"
Kisaragi raised her head and said seriously:
"You can't forcefully shut down a running star array. You either have to wait until it runs out of energy, or you'll end up with a broken star array. But the star array we got is complete!"
"Um."
Jiang Xia nodded, squinting his eyes and said:
“So, the so-called victory of the superhumans in the MAGA world is not because they are powerful, but because there is a problem with the star array itself, coupled with the thousand-year time node…
Perhaps, when that battle took place, the Ku Mu Realm happened to encounter the outbreak of the West Sea Demon Disaster, and the Mohist Immortal Sect was wiped out by the extraterritorial demons in that battle.
This can also explain why the West Sea Dragon Palace lost this star array.
And it has been five hundred years and it still hasn't been found.
But there is one problem.”
Jiang Xia looked at the scroll and said:
"It says here that the invaders are not only plundering rare objects, but are also looking for something in their world... They call it 'wilderness'.
They also said that that thing would bring about the end of the world.
That's strange.
The Star Sea Dragon Palace is also a power with a legacy, they should not talk nonsense. In addition, given the Mo family's style of doing things, even if the star array is given to the Dragon Palace, they will most likely not be allowed to massacre the world.
Therefore, the large-scale invasion a thousand years ago was most likely condoned by the Mohist sect.
As for the ‘Huang’ that the Dragon Palace monsters are searching the world for, what exactly is it?”
