Inside The Black Mist Chapter 174: Black Star Fort (third update)
The night in the wilderness is desolate, silent, and has a distant flavor.
In the tall building in the Valley of the Wind, Tianyang had a very wild dinner, which included a large glass of beer with white foam, which seemed to be accompanied by some kind of plant root. The "vegetables" stir-fried with ingredients, grilled meat served on a wooden plate with only salt sprinkled without other seasonings, and a few pickled sausages smoked over charcoal.
This tastes completely different from the food ordering machine, or the dinner made by Kaoru.
The food in the wilderness is like Han Shu, which is full of rough flavor, it does not have such a delicate taste, nor does it have so many layers.
It can even be said that it is very simple and rough, but it grabs your taste buds at once.
When Tian Yang ate up all the food in front of him, he suddenly discovered that he was quite good at eating.
After dinner, Feixu prepared a room for each of them. Of course, the single-room treatment is limited to a few sublimators, as to whether they want to find someone to accompany them, that is their freedom.
After Han Shu finished his meal, he went upstairs with Fei Xu, saying that he wanted to have a long talk. As for what to talk about, whether it is limited to chat, only they know.
After Tianyang took a shower, he ran to the wooden corridor in casual clothes, carrying a storage case, to maintain his weapons.
Several seven or eight-year-old children surrounded him curiously. A very courageous little girl gently touched the death knell with her chubby little hand, then retracted her hand like an electric shock, and happily laugh it out.
When the footsteps sounded, the children had found new fun and ran away in a hurry.
Then Tianyang smelled a faint fragrance, and saw Jiyu sitting down next to him, wiping his wet hair with a towel.
Ji Yu also took off his equipment and only wore a vest and shorts, revealing a large area of snow-white skin.
Tianyang's face was slightly hot, and he quickly focused on the saber in his hand, not on Jiyu's body.
"Just you?" Ji Yu wiped her hair, wrapped it in a towel, and pinned it on her head.
Tianyang hummed: "The captain and Sister Feixu have gone upstairs, and Cangdu seems to be looking for Miss Qingdai. Anyway, I don't go to bed so early, so I just sit here."
"Tsk, man." Ji Yu suddenly came over and said with a smile, "What about you, you plan to spend the night alone, who are you going to squeeze with?"
Tianyang quickly moved aside: "I'm used to sleeping alone."
"Really?" Ji Yu raised his hand and put his arms around Tian Yang's neck and said, "Why don't you come to my sister's room at night, my sister's bed is very big."
Tianyang's face suddenly turned red: "You...you should find someone else."
Ji Yu let go of him, and laughed loudly: "Are you serious? Don't worry, my sister won't harm a kid. If you want to climb into my sister's bed, let's talk about it when you grow up."
"However, you are quite popular. When you grow up, you may not like sister Luo."
Tianyang doesn't want to continue entangled with her on this topic: "Well, Jiyu, can you tell me about the Black Star Fort."
"What did you call me just now?" Ji Yu narrowed his eyes, "If you want to call me sister, do so quickly."
Tianyang sighed and surrendered: "Yes, yes. Sister Yu, please tell me about Black Star Fort."
"That's more or less."
Ji Yu crossed her legs, put her hands on the floor, and leaned her body slightly backward, which made the curve of her body perfectly exposed to the air.
Looking at the stars in the night sky, she raised her hand, as if she wanted to catch one, and grasped it in the air with her five fingers, before saying, "Black Star Castle is only 500 kilometers away from us, and that fortress city is much bigger than ours." It’s still young, and it’s not a day or two since it coveted our Clough Gate.”
Tianyang said in surprise: "Does Black Star Castle not have its own Krafft Gate?"
Ji Yu changed her posture. She hugged her legs and rested her chin gently on her knees: "Fool, there are only 127 Krafft Gates in the whole world. Compared with only More and more, how could every fort have its own Krafft Gate."
Tianyang scratched his head: "Then how do they maintain their astral reactor?"
The ectoplasmic reactor is the heart of every fortress. Using the pillar of star marrow as raw material, it continuously provides the fortress city with the energy it needs to operate in a nearly unlimited manner.
Ji Yu turned his face slightly to the side, his eyes sparkling like stars: "This fortress city built on the Star Picking Cliff, they know a lot about gods and evils, and their research in this area surpasses that of ours. Including Sky Castle, most of the cities in this bay area.”
"Actually, the inducer we use on the gods is still provided by them. So far, we have not been able to copy its formula. Black Star Fort relies on various research results on the gods to trade stars Crystallization of matter, thereby maintaining the operation of his star matter reactor."
"So that's how it is." Tian Yang couldn't help but nodded, no wonder that Ye Zhong was able to use the props made of god's glands, which should also be one of the research results of Black Star Fort.
Ji Yu's dimples smiled slightly: "But even if there is an ectoplasmic reactor, Black Star Castle is the same as other cities that have never had the Krafft Gate. They face the same problem, that is, it is difficult to expand."
Tianyang thought for a while, and said softly: "Because there is no Krafft Gate, so can't attract enough talents and strong people?"
"Smart." Ji Yu looked at the black and blue night sky, "You are right, without Krafft, it would be difficult to attract talents in various fields, and most importantly... sublimation Those, especially high-ranking sublimators.”
"So, shortly after the establishment of Black Star Castle, we had our idea. It ended in failure, but in the next few decades, small actions like today have not stopped."
Tianyang raised his eyebrows: "If this is the case, why not just destroy Black Star Fort."
Ji Yu lightly shrugged her shoulders: "Then I can only ask the high-level big shots."
At this moment, there was a scream of flying catkins on the tall building, and there seemed to be a little pain in the voice. Tianyang jumped up when he heard the sound, and was about to charge forward with a sword in his hand.
Unexpectedly, she was caught by Ji Yu, who looked at Tian Yang suspiciously: "Where are you going?"
Tianyang anxiously said: "Didn't you hear Miss Feixu calling? She might be in danger, maybe those people from Black Star Castle are here again."
Ji Yu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed heartlessly, tears falling down from her laughter.
"You said...she is in danger...Young man, you really are...no, I'm going to die laughing."
Tianyang was puzzled and said: "You mean, she is not in danger? Then why is she..."
Ji Yu stopped, blushed with a smile, jumped up and stretched her waist: "Fool, not only is she not in danger, but she also enjoys it very much. Forget it, you will understand these things when you grow up."
Tianyang really didn't understand what Ji Yu meant, but the latter didn't give him a chance to continue asking questions, and had already walked back to the room with light steps.
The next day, Flying Squirrel received information from Black Star Fort, and the Raven team left Wind's Rest.
Considering that they will fight against Black Star Castle next time, Han Shu left Qing Dai in the Valley of the Wind's Rest just in case, and asked Fei Xu to take care of her temporarily.
In this way, the team will have no worries at all.
On the Falcon Chariot, Han Shu turned on the team channel, picked up the vehicle communicator to test the sound, and then said: "Listen up, Flying Squirrel has found the hiding place of those **** in Black Star Fort. The ruins of the Thousand Eyes Cave not far from here.”
Tianyang raised his hand decisively: "Captain, what is the ruins of the Thousand Eyes Cave."
Han Shu took out an electronic board, activated it, and called up a map.
Passing the electronic board to Tianyang, he said, "Look for yourself."
A three-dimensional map is displayed on the screen. It can be seen that the so-called Qianyan Cave ruins are actually a town that has sunk into the ground.
But what sank into the ground was not the whole town, but a part of the town.
Looking from the map, there are large and small holes in the ground where the town is located, and the buildings that are just above the holes have sunk into the ground like this.
From the plan view, the ruins seem to be covered with hundreds of eyes, no wonder it is called Thousand Eyes Cave.
Han Shu simply added: "As you can see, this place used to be a town, very old, about a thousand years old. Due to geological subsidence, some buildings sank into the ground."
"Many years ago, this area used to be the lair of gods and evils, and those things dug countless tunnels underground for coming and going. Therefore, the terrain of the Qianyan Cave site can be said to be extremely complicated. So far, I haven't figured out how many tunnels there are and where they lead to."
Ji Yu's voice sounded from the on-board communicator: "Captain, if the people from Black Star Fort are hiding here, it will not be easy for us to deal with them."
Han Shu opened the window to welcome the wild wind in the wilderness: "It's not easy, those guys are cunning. After they evacuated yesterday, they must have thought that I would ask Feixu to help."
"So now, either Feixu got false information, or these guys set up a trick in Qianyan Cave to deal with us."
Cangdu's voice also sounded: "Captain, you must have some plans."
Hearing what he said, Tian Yang looked at Han Shu expectantly.
Han Shu looked out the window and said with a deep expression, "Why panic, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. We just need to adapt to the situation, and those guys in Black Star Fort can't do anything."
Captain, if you say that, it means that there is no plan... Tianyang couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth.
However, he did not speak out what was in his heart.
Ji Yu ruthlessly dismantled the stage: "No way, captain. I thought you had a complete plan, but it turned out to be just improvisation?"
Han Shu probably felt a little uncomfortable, and tried to defend himself: "Thousand Eye Cave, the environment is complicated, and there are many uncertainties that will arise in the process. I want to plan carefully. But under such conditions, no plan will come in handy.”
"If you have a good idea, please bring it up."
Perhaps the other two couldn't think of any good ideas, and there was no sound from the communicator for a while.
Tianyang thought of something, and his eyes lit up: "Captain, I have an idea, but I don't know if it is feasible..."
