Chapter 336: The Invasion of the Mountains and the Seas
Situ He’s private plane was flying steadily in the air.
Beneath him was the vast Pacific Ocean.
They had already flown for almost twelve hours. They still needed a few more hours before they could enter the airs.p.a.ce of the Southern Zhou Kingdom!
At that moment, the stewardess on the plane handed him a cup of brewed coffee.
Right after, the same stewardess handed him a piece of information that she had just received.
Situ He drank his coffee as he read the information: the Fish will arrive in Southern Zhou.
Situ He smiled after taking a glance at it.
“Looks like my fate with that person is really deep!”
The Fish was the “Koi Fish”.
It was the code name of the Queen of Luck in the Blackguard.
… … …
The vast Pacific Ocean.
A huge cruise ship was sailing on this vast ocean.
Tourists stood on the deck as they looked at the surging waves.
Many of them couldn’t help but sigh. “Thousands of years ago, after the ancestors of the Shang dynasty were defeated, they sailed from the metropolitan territory to the other side of the ocean and set up their new home…”
“I wonder how the ancestors did it!”
A well-learned person smiled and said, “According to archaeological findings, there was a road bridge that connected the new Beihai of the Northern Zhou Kingdom to the Binhai Provincial Governor Area…”
“Although the ancestors of the Shang dynasty were defeated by the people of Zhou, they had a relative in the northern gra.s.sland…”
“That was the Lone Bamboo Kingdom…”
“During the Spring and Autumn period, Duke Heng had crossed the quicksand and attacked the Lone Bamboo Kingdom in the north. That is the origin behind the idiom ‘an old horse knows the way’!”
“Therefore, many people guessed that the ancestors of the Shang dynasty went through the Lone Bamboo Kingdom to reach the coastal area, crossed the road bridge and then entered the land of the Northern Zhou dynasty!”
Chu Weiwei was listening at the side. Suddenly, she turned to look at Li Anan beside her. “Captain, do you think he’s right?”
Li Anan smiled and picked up the drink in her hand. She took a sip and said, “So what if it’s true? So what if it’s false?”
“If it’s fake, then it’s also true!”
“Besides…”
“Recently, some things related to the legendary Fu Sang Wood have been unearthed in Northern Zhou…”
“Fu Sang Wood?” Chu Weiwei’s eyes widened. “From the Tang Valley?”
Li Anan nodded. She was already a major, so naturally, she could access and read more secrets.
Therefore, she knew that not long ago, the Blackguard, who were in charge of archaeology, had discovered an ancient ruin in the western part of Northern Zhou.
Among the ruins of the Northern Zhou’s metropolitan territory, they had found fossils of bison, saber-toothed tigers and other animals.
Moreover, there were other man-made artifacts that were clearly out of place from the other artifacts. These artifacts had inscriptions on them.
After a.n.a.lysis and testing, they found that there was a hidden connection between the inscriptions on these artifacts and the Oracle.
After deciphering, words such as ‘Xi He’ and ‘Tang Valley’ have been found.
Most importantly, there was a layer of coal beneath these things.
However, this coal had the characteristics of psionic power.
She could already deduce that it was a small Spirit Coal mine.
But here comes the question…
What material was this Spirit Coal made of?
Chu Weiwei kept imagining.
Fu Sang Wood, Tang Valley…
All this pointed directly to ancient legends.
According to a legend, there were ten suns that would cross the sky one by one each day. One day, all ten came out at once, roasting the earth.
Thus, Hou Yi shot the suns down one by one…
After going through all this, was Tang Valley originally in the Northern Zhou Kingdom after all?
In the ancient mythical grade era, there were once ten golden crows that resided in the Northern Zhou Kingdom?
They took turns to soar through the heavens and earth?
Then now, there was actually a Golden Crow in the stars in s.p.a.ce?
The young second lieutenant of the Blackguard felt like she had just opened the door to a new world.
Therefore, she asked, “Captain…Captain, let’s go to Northern Zhou to take a look…”
Li Anan smiled and shook her head. “Let’s go to Southern Zhou first…”
“There are even more interesting things over there…”
She gently pushed the computer in front of her towards Chu Weiwei.
On the computer screen was the webpage of the Blackguard’s intranet.
On the webpage was a high-resolution satellite photo.
Under the vast starry sky, in the depths of the vast rainforest, a huge python was slithering towards the river.
Even though it was from a satellite’s view, the python’s length was unprecedented.
It was at least tens of meters long!
This was an impossibly gigantic snake!
Chu Weiwei looked at it and exclaimed softly, “Ba-snake!”
Li Anan nodded, “It’s a ba-snake!”
“The new legendary snake has appeared!”
Chu Weiwei naturally knew about the legend of the ba-snake.
Legend has it that such a huge snake monster had previously appeared during ancient times and harmed the people of the Cloud Dream Swamp.
Hence, Hou Yi, who shot the sun, also shot the snake monster. After the ba-snake died, its corpse turned into a mountain. That mountain was Ba Ling.
“There are ruins related to Fu Sang Wood in Northern Zhou…”
“And now, a ba-snake has appeared in a rainforest in Southern Zhou…”
“Perhaps we can pay a visit to this Mr. Ba-Snake!” Li Anan said.
Chu Weiwei was extremely happy when she heard this. She clapped her hands and said, “Yes! Yes!”
The Blackguard treated all foreign species equally.
As long as they followed the law, they would be given the rights they deserved!
They would even be given large conservation areas to meet their cultivation needs.
Of course, if they didn’t listen…
The Blackguard had a huge beating waiting for them!
Obviously, this ba-snake had already accepted the Blackguard’s ‘serious suggestion’.
From the satellite photo, it could be seen that there were people holding binoculars and observing by the river bank.
Foreign species would only allow humans to enter their territory under one condition.
That was, under the condition of being ‘persuaded’.
… … …
On the high-speed plane, Situ He was also looking at the same photo.
Of course, he could see more things.
For example, there were copies of various doc.u.ments signed by the ba-snake on his computer.
“What a smart snake!” Situ He said.
“What a pity!” He sighed again.
It would be great if such a huge snake monster didn’t listen to him.
This kind of monster from the ancient mythical grade was full of treasures.
Killing one would reap enough resources for a colonel to break through to the rank of general!
What a pity…
It actually had the instinct to judge the situation and avoid danger.
Thinking of this, Situ He opened another doc.u.ment.
This doc.u.ment was the commander-in-chief’s think tank, and it had just been published.
The t.i.tle was: Mountains and Seas Mythical Grade Invasion Report.
This was the Blackguard’s annual research report.
It mainly a.n.a.lyzed and distinguished the effects of various types of mythical grade invasion.
In recent years, the focus of research had shifted to the Mountain and Sea Scripture and a series of myths and legends surrounding the Mountain and Sea Scripture. They were increasingly influencing the a.n.a.lysis and research of reality.
Especially this year.
In the metropolitan territory, Jing Chu’s military officers found a tomb of an aristocrat from the country. In the tomb, they found murals.
The contents of the murals were directly related to the legend of the Marquis of Sui’s Pearl.
They even pointed to the final location of the Marquis of Sui’s pearl.
In the Fenshui River basin of the Central Plains, a fisherman fished out an amazing item from the river — the Jizhou Cauldron!
It was one of the nine cauldrons forged by Emperor Yu.
However, it was different from the Nine Cauldrons in history.
This Jizhou Cauldron that had been fished out floated in the air as soon as it came out of the water. The fisherman was so frightened that he immediately called the police. The commander-in-chief heard the news and rushed over personally. Only then did he accept it and personally brought it to the imperial capital.
What was even more amazing was that when the emperor of the current dynasty came into contact with it, the legendary birds, beasts, and G.o.ds appeared on the body of the cauldron.
Unfortunately…
At the moment, due to some reasons, this divine object could only activate the illusory images of the birds, beasts, and monsters.
It was still a little far from the legendary Zhenzhou Cauldron.
As a result, the Blackguard had now completely controlled the entire Fenshui.
People were looking forward to the mythical grade invasion.
They looked forward to the moment when the other eight missing divine cauldrons would appear from Fenshui.
With the Nine Cauldrons combined, could the emperor really seal the world?
Fu Sang Wood and Tang Valley of the Northern Zhou also seemed to show signs of appearing.
It was not surprising that a ba-snake had crawled out from the Southern Zhou.
The core of this thesis was that the Mountain and Seas mythical grades continued to invade.
However…
The G.o.ds recorded in the Book of Mountains and Seas seemed to have never existed and disappeared completely.
Up until now, whether it was in the metropolitan territory or overseas, no signs of the Mountains and Seas G.o.ds awakening had been found.
This problem was very serious!
Situ He watched as he slowly became serious.
The Southern Zhou rainforest had already given birth to the Ba-snake.
Then, when would Xiang Liu appear?
When would the Northern Zhou’s Tang Valley appear?
Would the Golden Crows awaken?
If that was the case..
How would the Blackguard deal with these ancient divine beasts?
How would they be placed?
Hmm…
But they would have to be as sensible as the ba-snake!
Those who weren’t sensible had already set an example for the mythical grade ancestors.
They made the same choice as the Blackguard.
Ten suns in the sky, all shot to death with a single arrow
The demons in the flood were all captured and chopped up.
After being drowned by the sea, they turned into Jingwei birds and filled up the sea!
Thinking of this, he received a video call.
Situ He picked up the call, and Song Shihui, who had just said goodbye, appeared on the computer.
“General Situ…” Song Shihui clasped his hands. “I didn’t disturb your rest, did I?”
“No!” Situ He smiled. “Crossing the ocean, the jet lag is inevitable…”
“If you have something to say, Brother Song, you can just say it…”
Song Shihui told him about the three plans that his think tank had come up with.
Then, he said, “I wonder, what do you think, General Situ?”
Situ He smiled, “Actually…”
“You don’t have to be so nervous!”
“Although that person is a little arrogant, he is not as difficult to get along with as I thought…”
As Song Shihui listened, he clasped his hands together and bowed. “Brother Situ, please enlighten me!”
Situ He smiled and said, “In my opinion, Brother Song, you can actually wait for a while…”
“Wait for the Imperial Commissioner to visit…”
“That’s an ordinary person…”
“From my experience, he has a different way of getting along with extraordinary people and ordinary people…”
“You might be able to get some inspiration from that…”
“Of course!” Situ He became serious. “And because of that, I personally suggest that you still need to visit him personally and contact him!”
“There are many things that can not be explained clearly…”
Situ He recalled his encounters in the bookstore.
Those strange and terrifying feelings.
Even when he spoke, he had to be careful.
He even had to control his att.i.tude.
All so that their master can play this game happily.
The guards in the bookstore had done countless things!
And these things were difficult to explain and could not be expressed in words.
After all…
Those terrifying feelings and strange restrictions could only be understood by those who had experienced it first hand.
Song Shihui listened and nodded. “Thank you for your guidance, General…”
“I happen to have such plans as well!”
Situ He listened and reminded him, “Brother Song, when you visit, it’s best to bring all the precious treasures that you can with you…”
He recalled the encounter in the bookstore.
At that place…
Once you entered the door, if you want to leave without spending any money…
It was impossible!
If Song Shihui did not prepare enough, he would have to pay with his own soul!
It would be worse if the other party took out items that were way too precious.
He could even have to pay with his lifespan!
After all, he could not expect that He would always be as kind as He was in the beginning.
The think tanks had already a.n.a.lyzed it.
This proud ancient G.o.d would have emotions like humans.
Just like a king, He might be driven by His own emotions.
Thus, if He was happy, anyone could gain benefits.
If He was unhappy, everyone would have problems!
If one wanted to gain benefits in front of such a proud ancient G.o.d, they would have to be prepared for the worst!
Song Shihui listened and nodded seriously. “I will be prepared!”
“Commander-in-chief also sent someone to send me some things…”
“Perhaps they can be of use!”
Situ He listened and smiled. “Then I wish you all the best!”
If Song Shihui succeeded.
Then the rotation system would be officially activated.
The active generals of the Empire would begin..
Then the retired…
Everyone would take turns to curry favor…
But Situ He knew that such a thing was extremely dangerous.
The idiom goes, “If one takes the emperor’s salary, they will have to be loyal to the emperor.”
After receiving benefits from others, one would have to work for them!
