Monarch of Evernight: 196 Instinct
bsp;When any force array explodes, the movement will not be small, not to mention the array hand-drawn by An Wen, which is also quite brilliant in the entire demon descendant's inheritance. Even though Anwen was outstanding in strength, his face was reduced to ashes, and half of his hair and eyebrows were singed off.
Bai Kongzhao's eyes widened, somewhat confused.
"It's nothing, maybe it hasn't been used for a long time, and some parts were drawn wrong." Anwen laughed at himself.
"You can't make a mistake." The girl said firmly. At Anwen's level, how could he draw the wrong magic circle in the original diagram?
"Perhaps this array shouldn't be used here." An Wen smiled bitterly and shook his head, then said: "It's almost night, so prepare to spend the night first."
The girl nodded and lay down against the stone wall. This location is safe and concealed, and can sneak up on enemies who break in immediately. It is the best choice for spending a night in the wild. The girl chose this place without thinking. Anwen looked at the entire camp and couldn't find a better place.
Just after Anwen saw her choice, he felt an inexplicable pain in his heart. He sighed and began to arrange the new Force array. Halfway through the painting, he suddenly let out a sigh, took out a short knife, used the knife as a shovel, and started digging on the spot. The ground was made of extremely hard stones, but under Anwen's short sword, it was as soft as rotten soil. In the blink of an eye, Anwen dug down more than one meter deep. At this moment, the tip of his knife suddenly became empty, and he dug out a secret chamber.
Anwen dug with his knife and expanded the hole, then jumped into the secret room and looked around.
The secret room was very dark, without any light. But even if there is no light at all, it is not difficult for a demon with dark vision. The secret room is not big. There are storage compartments cut into the walls on both sides, and there are wine jars sealed with mud inside.
On the ground in the center of the secret room, there was a pile of soil with a sapling planted on it. I don’t know how long the secret room has existed. Because it has not seen daylight for a long time, this small sapling still only has a few branches. However, there are still two leaves on the top of the tree. After so many years, it is still alive. It is really a miracle.
An Wen didn't know what kind of tree sapling it was, but to be able to survive in this secret room for so long, it seemed that it was not an ordinary thing. So he shoveled the soil with a short knife, scooped up the seedlings together with the soil pile, and put them into his storage space. He moved another wine vat from the storage compartment, pierced the mud seal, and a strong smell of wine broke through the seal.
Anwen frowned, the smell of alcohol was not something that anyone could tolerate. He has always loved cleanliness. Where has he ever smelled something like this? He quickly put the wine vat down and resealed the mud seal. However, although the smell of wine was pungent, An Wen's face was filled with joy. According to clan records, wine brewed by local indigenous people is occasionally found in the maelstrom, which has various miraculous effects. It seems that this is the wine, and judging from the appearance of the secret room full of time marks, I don’t know how many years it has been stored.
An Wen picked up another wine vat and couldn't help frowning. It was actually empty. He shook the wine jar, opened the mud seal and took a look before giving up. I don't know if the wine in this vat was not sealed well or was eaten by insects. All the wine evaporated completely, and the wine stains remaining on the inner wall turned into gray stone, and no longer had the effect of activating vitality.
He tried the wine jars one by one. Most of the wine jars were empty. In the end, he only collected three and a half jars of wine. These gains made Anwen very satisfied. He put the wine jar into the space, took a jar of wine in his hand, jumped out of the secret room, and said with a smile: "Look what I found?"
No response.
An Wen was startled, and then realized that it had turned dark before he knew it, and the temperature gradually dropped to freezing point. Bai Kongzhao was huddled under the stone wall, shivering. Her face was pale, her lips had turned blue, and she curled up into a ball.
"I'm...cold..." The girl's voice was very weak.
An Wen felt the coldness and silence of the night, and his expression suddenly changed. Although he has read all the records about the Great Whirlpool in his family, no matter which record, the description of the Cold Night is far from this level. At this moment, just after dark, the vitality began to slow down significantly, and it was almost the same as the midnight recorded in the clan's data.
Anwen originally didn't take Hanji Night seriously. With his physical fitness, he could easily resist. As for the girl, she only needs to help her to pass the test.
But I didn’t expect that once inside the maelstrom, the severity of the cold night was far beyond imagination, ten times higher than recorded in the data!
Anwen quickly replayed all the information about the Cold Night in his mind in order to find suitable countermeasures. There are still some flaws at this moment, so don’t panic. Only by mastering all the information can we find appropriate countermeasures. Otherwise, if you respond improperly, there will be no room for recovery.
According to the records of demon descendants, the cold night will only appear after going deep into the maelstrom, and it will gradually increase as it goes deeper. A thought flashed across Anwen's mind. The cold night here was so strong. Doesn't it mean that the area where the two of them were now was already in the deepest part of the maelstrom?
When he thought of this, Anwen's relaxed state of mind during all his games disappeared instantly and was replaced by solemnity. According to the records of the tribe, at the edge of the area explored by the demons, there are many dangers that Anwen needs to take seriously. And this area is even more dangerous. If you're not careful, I'm afraid the young demon master will be confessed here.
While he was thinking, Anwen's hand suddenly became empty. The girl had snatched the wine jar away from him. He opened the mud seal and poured the wine into his mouth. She was born small, but her body was like a bottomless pit. In the blink of an eye, the entire vat of wine was consumed, and An Wen had no time to stop her.
"Wait! You can't drink this wine, it will make you..."
Before An Wen finished speaking, the wine tank had already reached the bottom. The girl looked satisfied and said, "I feel much more comfortable. I'm finally not cold anymore."
"You just..."
"It was very cold just now, and I thought I was going to die. Then I saw what you were bringing, and I thought it would warm me up if I drank it, so I took it and drank it." The girl said it naturally.
An Wen opened his mouth, but couldn't rebuke. After spending time with her, he also knew that girls basically survive in an instinctive way, just like the ferocious beasts wandering in the world. Once she encounters something that threatens her life, such as a cold night, she will instinctively save her life. At this time, she could do anything to survive.
An Wen sighed, feeling a dull pain in his heart again, and said: "I don't blame you for grabbing the wine, but this kind of wine cannot...can't be drunk casually. I need to deal with it and remove some unnecessary things in it. It will be safe after the medicine has been used. But now... well, I don't blame you for what happens later."
As he spoke, Anwen sighed and felt a little regretful. To him, getting a girl in this way is like a cow chewing a peony, and all the best artistic conception is lost.
"What will happen?" The girl's eyes were confused again, and a blush slowly rose on her face. She swayed, then fell down, obviously drunk.
An Wen was stunned and sat down next to her, waiting for that moment to come.
After a while, Bai Kongzhao began to snore slightly, like a sleeping little leopard. She fell asleep like this, motionless, until dawn.
At this moment, the war is over in the East China Sea.
Outside Tingchao City, there are burning wreckage of battleships everywhere. The military camp set up by the spider demons was also blazing with fire. The corpses of the spider demon warriors could be seen everywhere, and the servant spiders were burnt all over.
Just looking at the battlefield, you can tell that the empire has won a complete victory. No matter in the air or on the ground, the Eternal Night Alliance originally had a slight advantage. This is why the spider demons still refused to leave after all the demons left and most of the vampires also withdrew. The spider demon commander didn't believe Song Zining's so-called future military god's name at all, so he held back all his energy and wanted to fight Song Zining.
However, when the fight started, the spider demon fleet was harassed by Song Zining's uncertain tactics, moving east and west. He pounced on them with all his strength countless times, only to find that only a small group was harassing the troops. Throughout the day, although the spider demons successfully killed several small armies of the empire, they still could not find Song Zining's main fleet.
Just when the Nerubian fleet was exhausted and low on energy, and was preparing to return, the Empire's main fleet suddenly appeared.
The outcome of the fleet battle was determined the moment the Vampire warship suddenly withdrew from the battlefield. The Imperial fleet, which was recharging its strength, defeated the Nerubians, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a one-sided massacre. The final battle ended with the powerful spider demons escaping from the battlefield in the most powerful high-speed battleship. All the injured warships and the troops still on the ground became victims of this battle.
On the battlefield at this moment, the imperial transport ships are rising and falling, constantly dropping mercenaries to clean the battlefield. Warships were stationed in all directions, guarding against enemies that might still appear.
Powerful men from all sides came to Song Zining's flagship to congratulate him. The scale of this fleet battle is not small in recent battles, and because of the control of the passage of the maelstrom, it is also of great significance. Song Zining fought vigorously in this battle, which showed his extremely high level of fleet command. It is not far away that he will be in charge of a squadron in the future.
The imperial fleet is different from the private armies of powerful families. Because of the huge investment, even among top-ranking families, only a few can afford their own floating fleets, and the scale is small. The large-scale fleets that have been established are basically in the hands of the empire and the imperial family. They are also the most important tool for the military to check and balance the powerful families.
Fleet battles are different from ground battles. Below the level of a **** general, the role of the strong is relatively limited. And because of the special nature of command, a commander often needs many years of training to become qualified.
At this moment, Song Zining showed his talent in fleet command at such a young age, which made everyone with a keen sense of smell feel moved. The family members saw an excellent breakthrough point to insert the imperial fleet, and the imperial family also felt that it was possible to bring him to their side because of the complicated background behind Song Zining, especially his relationship with Empress Li.
So the war had just ended, and the battlefield hadn’t even been cleaned up. People from all sides came to the door one after another. Some wanted to talk to each other, some wanted to get familiar with each other, and more people wanted to hug each other early. Get on this future thigh.
However, at this moment, Song Zining did not feel the joy of winning the battle. Instead, there was a hint of worry in his eyebrows, a bit forced to smile.
