The strongest talent

A dangerous area in the wild, a once bustling trading valley.

The smoke of the war has not yet extinguished. Mercenaries, caravan members, burned camping tents, detonated off-road trucks... The valley is a mess, with corpses lying on the ground. Most of them are mutilated, with blood and surrounding materials. The snow was frozen into a sheet, turning a shocking blood-red color.

"There is no one alive, they are all killed." Near the early hours of the morning, Yuan Qing stood in the center of the valley, looking at everything in the valley with the dim light, his face extremely gloomy.

It is very simple to check the casualties. You only need to conduct a life breath detection... Zhi Nao has already completed the detection. The four to five hundred people who were still alive yesterday were all killed by the sneak attack force in just one night. No one was spared!

"Yuan Qing, let's go." Zhinao seemed to understand Yuan Qing's mood at the moment, and whispered: "It doesn't make any sense to watch any more."

Yuan Qing clenched his fists tightly, his eyes full of anger - at Yuan Qing's feet was his new friend "Wu Dong" whom he had met not long ago. His body was already cold, his neck was cut off, and his body still maintained the sleeping posture. Die in silence.

In the valley today, the supplies on the off-road trucks have not moved at all - perhaps some more valuable goods and medicines are missing, but at a glance, all the supplies are basically there. It can be judged from this that the goal of the sneak attack force is definitely not to snatch goods, but to kill people!

"Who are they?" Yuan Qing lowered his head and looked at the alloy sword in his hand, frowning more and more.

This A-grade alloy sword was snatched from the fifth-level fighter of the chasing team. It was the only "physical evidence", but there was no special mark on it. Their corpses were briefly glanced at at that time, and the clothes on their bodies also had no signs of power. It was obvious that they had planned carefully and left no clues.

"Qiqi is staying in the cave, I'm afraid she's already worried." Yuan Qing was silent for a while, then quickly rummaged through the off-road truck, put away a lot of combat rations and highly concentrated water capsules from the cargo, and collected more than 20 sets The ion energy core then turned around and walked towards where Qiqi was hiding.

When I came here, I also passed by the battle site where fighter jets exploded. The bodies of the five-man team had been taken away, and there were dense footprints everywhere. Obviously, the sneak attack force was still searching nearby, maybe because of luck, they didn't encounter it.

"It doesn't matter even if we encounter him. I entered the laboratory in an instant. Even a sixth-level grandmaster can't do anything to me." Yuan Qing bypassed the main road and braved the blizzard to fly through the mountains and fields.

At this time, Zhinao did not skimp on energy and directly turned on the kilometer detection - the wind and snow are very strong now, the field of vision is completely white, and the visibility is only more than a hundred meters. Even a sixth-level grandmaster cannot see as far as a thousand meters. Kilometer detection range is enough.

"Yuan Qing, come in!" While running, Zhinao's voice suddenly sounded, the six-pointed star pattern on his right arm lit up slightly, and Yuan Qing's figure disappeared from the place instantly.

About half a minute later, a team of five people passed by nearby. One of the heavily armed elementalists glanced at the footprints in the snow on the ground, frowned slightly, and raised his smart watch: "Here is A team of six, coordinates X3599, Y2613, found vague footprints, has anyone been here?"

Soon, a response came from the smart watch: "I am from the third team of the seventh team. I explored the vicinity of the coordinate point three minutes ago. All members dispersed and searched all over the place. The footprints may have been left by my team members, but no abnormalities were found."

"Copy that." The elementalist shook his head, put down his wrist, and continued to move forward with his four companions.

Until the team walked out of the kilometer range, the air was slightly blurred, and Yuan Qing's figure emerged from a projection beam, his feet still landing on the previous footprints.

"There is snow on the ground, and it is troublesome to deal with the traces." Yuan Qing thought for a while, slightly bent his legs, jumped more than thirty meters with a whoosh, turned suddenly in the air, and his hands shook slightly.

With a bang, a concussive airflow surged out, rolling up the surrounding blizzard and partially covering the footprints on the ground. After landing, he jumped again, repeating the same pattern. The wind and snow roared all over the sky, and the footprints on the ground that were not completely covered quickly disappeared, and no trace could be seen anymore.

————————

There was a continuous snowstorm in the danger zone. A white hill more than 200 meters high stood quietly, covered with thick snow, and nothing unusual could be seen from the outside.

Deep in the mountain, in a small cave dug with a sword, Qiqi was wrapped in a quilt, her little face was red from the cold, breathing slowly in the darkness without making any other sounds. Her big bright eyes occasionally fluttered, and occasionally she raised her hands to rub her face, and breathed gently into her palms. Her expression was a little worried, but she was definitely not afraid.

Bang, bang, bang...

There was a faint sound of earth and rocks loosening, and the ground around Qiqi slowly bulged. An alloy sword broke through the ground with a "chi" sound and appeared next to Qiqi.

"Oh..." Qiqi was startled and her body curled up involuntarily. She understood something in her heart and said in surprise: "Big brother."

Yuan Qing waved his sword, cleaving the surrounding frozen earth and rocks, and jumped out from the ground. He took out a concentrated flashlight and illuminated the dark cave. He glanced at Qiqi's face and nodded secretly in his heart. Even a little admired.

The child who was only five or six years old, from the time she was attacked last night until she was placed in this cave to avoid being tracked, her calmness and intelligence were far superior to those of children of the same age. When we just dug a tunnel last night, it might have been because the environment was too dark. Qiqi was a little uncomfortable and a little frightened, but she quickly calmed down.

To be able to raise such a child, you can tell with just a little guessing that her family must be extraordinary!

"Qiqi." Yuan Qing took out a pack of combat rations, tore open a corner, handed it to Qiqi's hand, and said softly: "It's very cold, eat slowly. When you finish eating, I will go out and take a look. After confirming that it is safe, Get you out of here and send you home.”

Qiqi ate her combat rations, her eyes sparkling, and she whispered: "Brother, I'm sorry, I forgot where my home is."

forget? How could this smart kid forget where home is? I see you clearly don’t want to go home!

"There are bad people, there are blizzards, and it's freezing. Your parents must be worried." Yuan Qing smiled slightly and said, "Parents love their children the most. Maybe they are looking for you everywhere in the ice and snow. I Is that right?"

Qiqi shook her head subconsciously and said with a smile: "No, they know that I am not very afraid of the cold. It is much colder at my home than here. It will always be cold."

"Oh?" Yuan Qing's heart moved.

It’s cold all year round. Qiqi’s home is in the extreme north? !

Yuan Qing raised his hand and rubbed Qiqi's little head, and said with a warm smile: "I went to that valley originally because I wanted to buy something and see some 'high technology'. Now the valley has been destroyed by bad guys and I can't buy anything. , I can’t see the high technology, I have to go to the beach, will you go with me?”

"The seaside?" Qiqi's eyes suddenly lit up, full of excitement: "Okay, okay, I've never played at the beach before. The sea near my home is frozen, which is not fun. I saw it when I was flying. It’s such a big sea, but it didn’t land... There are big fish in the sea, right? There are also many powerful monsters!”

Yuan Qing smiled and nodded.

Qiqi knew quite a lot, but it was just not accurate. The mutant beasts in the sea were indeed powerful, but most of the mutant beasts near the coast were below level five. The truly powerful sea beasts all live in the deep sea. Those super powerful sea beasts that are above the ninth level are intimidated by the "Aqua Blue King" and others, and will never approach the land easily.

The Aquamarine King who founded the "Aquamarine Alliance" is the pride of China and one of the beings who stands at the pinnacle of mankind. It is precisely because of his presence and the Sea Blue Alliance that many survival bases in coastal areas can ensure safety. For example, the current Kyoto base was the capital of China before the catastrophe. After the catastrophe, it was rebuilt in the coastal area, not very far from the coastline.

"Brother, I've finished eating." Qiqi's tutor was obviously very good. She neatly folded the ration packaging bag in her hand, put it in an inconspicuous corner of the cave with the light of the focused flashlight, and stuck out her tongue. : "There is no trash can, so we can only put it here."

"Qiqi is so sensible." Yuan Qing raised his thumb and praised, then whispered: "I'll go out and take a look first, you wait here."

When we exited the cave along the tunnel, we were greeted by howling winds and blizzards. The temperature was so low that a layer of white frost instantly formed on our eyelashes. Large snowflakes and fine snow particles hit the body with a popping sound, and the combat uniform quickly became stiff and stiff from the cold.

"Yuan Qing." Zhinao probed again and reminded: "No tracking team has been found within a kilometer range. It is very safe here."

Yuan Qing nodded, raised his smart watch, called up the holographic map and looked at it carefully for a while, his eyes fell on a bright red dot on the east coast. That is the "Lugu Base", more than 130 kilometers away from the current location, and there are dangerous areas with rugged terrain along the way.

"There are sea markets, cargo ships, and cruise ships in the Lugu base." Yuan Qing thought for a while and said: "Qiqi's home is in the Great North. Our ultimate goal is the Arctic Ocean Unit 1, which happens to be on the way. Take her by boat to Sailing north, the closer we are to her home, the more likely we are to meet someone who knows her and send her home, and this matter is over."

Zhinao had no objection and just reminded: "Yuan Qing, in the past three months, your main energy has been on combining your spiritual energy with yourself, and the accumulation of spiritual energy in your body is a bit slow. Pay attention to your cultivation when you are on the road. Now you have accumulated in the laboratory More than forty pieces of beast crystal will be put to use soon after reaching the fourth level."

"I have a feeling that after last night's battle, the accumulation of spiritual energy in the heart is almost complete and has reached the peak of the third level." Yuan Qing touched his chest, looked at the vast wind and snow in the distance, and whispered: "Arrived at Lugu Base Before, it was absolutely no problem to enter the fourth level.”

Zhinao said no more, and Yuan Qing returned to the cave, wrapped Qiqi tightly in a quilt, tied it tightly behind her back with an animal skin rope, pinched her little red face with her backhand: "Qiqi Qi, the goal is the deep blue vast sea, let’s set off!”
