Am I the only one who didn't ascend?

Ma Cong was awakened from his sleep by his comrade Xiao You.

When he woke up, he felt heavy all over and sweating profusely. He seemed to have returned to the past when he and the heroes of the Mo Lin Military Academy were training together in the snowfield, but encountered a violent blizzard and were forced to take temporary shelter in a small cave to keep warm. That night, he was squeezed together with a group of Mo Lin men.

Ma Cong raised his eyelids with difficulty, but saw that his comrade's face was also ugly.

So he couldn't help but joked: "Your Excellency has a very strong wet dream..."

Xiao You also forced a smile and said: "How dare you say that to me! Cough cough!"

In the middle of the speech, he suddenly coughed, and the sound of his lungs was empty, which startled Ma Cong.

"Are you injured?"

Xiao You waved his hand and was about to show off, but he heard the captain Chang Feiran say in a deep voice: "Everyone take off your armor! Rest for another hour in place, and then return."

Ma Cong was surprised.

Although this place is still within the Dinghuang barrier, it is already in the Chilong area, which is an absolute front line. It is too dangerous to take off the armor at the front line and encounter an abnormal front line.

But I also know that the captain's judgment is very accurate.

If they continue to march in armor, I am afraid that only the captain at the Yuanying level can still walk. This mountain road is getting heavier and more difficult. It is really weird.

Not long ago, their team of front-line patrol soldiers captured the fast-legged Xiao Li, and then walked around the Chilong area to trace his origins... It was an ordinary and simple task, but it became inexplicably difficult as they walked deeper.

The surrounding mountains, rocks, and plants are still the same, but the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the air has become unusually heavy. Modern professional soldiers usually have to practice orthodox breathing methods in the military academy. During this breathing, people almost feel disgusted by food poisoning. The circulation of true energy is often delayed, so no leaping skills can be easily used. Even if you walk steadily on foot, you have to use 70% of your strength to fight against the surrounding world. Walking is tiring and painful.

Unexpectedly, even taking a short nap will give you nightmares.

"Captain, what's going on?"

After all, someone couldn't help but ask.

Chang Feiran didn't hide it and sighed, "Unexpected."

Ma Cong couldn't help but say, "No way, this can be unexpected!?"

Chang Feiran explained, "I just contacted the rear and told them about the strange phenomenon here. Then Captain Guan concluded that this place happened to be impacted during the pioneering yesterday, causing the ground veins to be disordered, the laws to be obscured, and then the enemy and us were confused. We walk here without the slightest blessing of the Great Law, and the blessing of the Great Law is as natural to each of us as breathing. Without breathing, we can't walk naturally. "Difficult..."

Ma Cong felt it was even more absurd: "We are pioneering for the Heavenly Dao, but we are not blessed. But the fast-legged Xiao Li is blessed by the law and has a smooth journey? !"

Chang Feiran shook his head: "That's another truth. But the current situation is not too strange. When Captain Guan was in the Baili Mountain Fort, the professor had already proposed this possibility and had a plan. Returning after disarming is the safest one. So we are just unlucky and have encountered a low-probability event, so there is no need to panic. "

After hearing this, Ma Cong nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

Captain Chang Feiran always speaks his mind. Since he said so, it must be the case. Since the weirdness here is just an "accident", it is not too bad.

At the same time, Xiao You, a comrade beside him, couldn't help but laugh while coughing: "It's just that there have been too many accidents recently, haha."

"Yeah." Another person not far away echoed, "It should have started with the action of removing the anchor nails, right? It was originally expected to return with zero casualties, but there were still new recruits who were inexplicably demented and made such low-level mistakes that it was unbearable to watch... But those people were still so happy, they won the first battle and ascended to heaven in one day."

A team of black armor warriors nodded silently when they heard this.

Even after nearly a month, Ma Cong still remembered very clearly how the temporary elite team of wasteland removal received when they returned.

General Hu Xiao, who led the team, received the jade talisman personally awarded by the marshal on the spot, which was almost equivalent to half a step into the ranks of Yuanying. The other returning soldiers also had fine wine and flowers, as well as a collective war merit with great value.

Objectively speaking, the removal of anchor nails is not worthy of such a grand commendation and celebration, but everything has actual value and symbolic value. At the beginning of the pioneering, they were able to send troops outside the Dinghuang barrier and break the plan of the wilderness demon. The symbolic significance of this matter directly triggered the collective carnival of the Immortal Alliance, and the fanatical mood pushed Rongcheng's westward momentum to be more sufficient. This is nothing too much to praise.

In comparison, the minor casualties at the end of the operation are indeed not worth mentioning.

It is common for military operations to have personnel losses. Even in daily training, new recruits may have their hearts and minds go off and die on the spot. When there are many people, any low-probability events will generally appear in groups. Moreover, the westward pioneering of the wilderness is a major event that has not happened in a thousand years for the entire Immortal Alliance. These two hundred elites went deep into the wilderness and pulled out the anchor nails. Only three people were killed, five were seriously injured, and no one turned the wilderness into a wasteland. This is already a very good result, which can be said to be a flaw in the perfect jade.

At that time, not only Ma Cong, but everyone thought so.

"However, it seems that since that operation, there have been more accidents on our side. Some people say that this is a tragedy caused by excessive joy, and it feels right."

"Yes, yes, I remember that the General Tiger Roar who led the team at that time, before he was enthusiastic about the jade talisman, accidentally fell from the flying sword in front of everyone during a daily flight training and broke a bone. , although it was no serious problem, it was disgraced."

"Haha, I witnessed this on the spot. At that time, as the general who won his first victory, he attracted everyone's attention. There were many interview activities scheduled for that day, and many reporters came to the school grounds. As a result, the flower plate had just been unfolded, and General Tiger Roar came to the scene. It hit the ground with a bang! Marshal Guan Tiejun’s face turned green at that time!”

"Haha, if you offend the marshal, the path to the Nascent Soul of that first victorious general will probably be difficult."

While the soldiers were joking, they each felt solemn in their hearts.

This matter is indeed a bit strange. General Tiger Roar was selected as the general in the first battle, and even more favored by the marshal. His strength and qualifications must be among the best among millions of soldiers. Even if he is not as good as Chang Feiran, the king of soldiers, he is definitely not far behind.

Mistakes in daily training are commonplace for most ordinary soldiers, but for the King of Soldiers... It is precisely because he is capable of what others cannot do that the King of Soldiers is called the King of Soldiers.

How bad does one have to be to fall from the sky in front of everyone?

After a while, someone else said: "Actually, strictly speaking, the red ridge next to us is an accident, right? Although it has become a temporary scenic spot, this phenomenon of two plains alluvially forming ridges is simply not Not within the initial expectations!”

"Well, I remember that when the professor from the Military Academy gave us a rough deduction, he showed us a roll of deduction diagrams. On the diagram, Rongcheng faces west, and the land extends, like civilization covering the desolation. The perspective in the painting is like looking down from the clouds in the strong wind. The earth, to me at that time, felt like a giant swallowed by a whale, and the entrance to the mountains and rivers was as smooth as silk! But now this red land feels like a giant beast with leek leaves attached to its beard..."

"Haha, this metaphor is quite subtle."

The soldiers laughed while removing their armor, and the atmosphere gradually became more cheerful and no longer depressing.

Chang Feiran, who has always been serious, could not help but curl his lips at this time, and then he straightened up and explained: "Strictly speaking, landforms like Red Ridge that were formed by accidents were not involved in the dozens of pioneering activities of the Immortal League in the past. It's not uncommon. For example, a similar phenomenon happened during the pioneering of Yueyang. It was a "sky sea", like a vast ocean in the sky, and the scene was magnificent far above the Red Ridge, but it never had any actual impact. After Bai Yao arrived at the predetermined location and the Ning Yuan Diagram locked the earth veins, the Ling Kong Sea quickly dissipated on its own. "

At this time, the always bold Ma Cong smiled and said: "Captain, you are endorsing me again."

Chang Feiran glared at him: "Then why can't you recite it?"

Ma Cong gave in and said, "So you are the captain and I am the pawn. I just follow the King of Soldiers and drink soup."

In fact, the slight flaws in the white jade of Red Ridge are not worth caring about in the first place. When this land ridge appeared, except for the old professors of the calculation group who solemnly recorded it and entrusted the frontline soldiers to take detailed samples, others almost didn't take it seriously - Chang Feiran endorsed it and mostly scanned it when receiving orders. Check out the information.

Until not long ago, this red ridge land that no one cared about suddenly exploded in Taixu Illusion, attracting countless idle warriors and causing Ma Cong and his party to fall into the current accident.

"Speaking of which, the source of all evil lies in the realm of illusion."

"I don't know what the people in Taixu Division are thinking. They don't strictly control matters related to pioneering. Those who dare to come to the front line to cause trouble will be punished by canon and banished permanently."

"Forget it, this time the pioneering is also deliberately diverting traffic to Taixu, using popularity to integrate the territory and promote the expansion of civilization. Maybe in the eyes of the Great Law, the contribution of those Green House owners is greater than ours."

Seeing that the topic was about to go astray, Chang Feiran immediately stopped: "Be careful what you say."

Ma Cong also smiled bitterly when he heard this.

Among this group of people, he is probably the only one who is a senior fan of the Taixu Illusion. He often walked all night when he was in the Mongolian Academy. Now that active-duty soldiers have lax restrictions on traveling around the Taixu, he is even more comfortable with it. When Chilangdi first became popular, he was a spectator and watched the excitement for a long time.

The initial tipping point came from a green house owner who was engaged in outdoor adventure all year round and occasionally worked part-time to open up wasteland and historic sites. His popularity was not very high, at least not as much as that quick-legged guy. One day, he posted a picture scroll in front of his Qinglu courtyard, which recorded the unique landforms of Chilangdi. The scenery is not surprising to the regular patrons of Qinglu, but the strange thing is the title of the scroll, which is simply shocking.

Revealing the front lines of pioneering.

It was a simple seven words, but it immediately caused an uproar in the circle, and quickly broke the circle, attracting a large number of people outside the circle.

As we all know, the security on the pioneer front has always been incredibly tight. This kind of first-hand information leaked from the people is almost as rare as the genuine antiques in the Gu Family Garden on Stone Street! Because in theory, it is impossible for civilians to penetrate into the restricted area!

Over the years, no matter where the frontier was opened, people in the rear had to wait for official disclosures if they wanted to see the scenery on the front line. The official does not say anything, but even if the front line is fought with earth-shattering intensity and the sun and moon are dim, the rear area is still in ignorance, singing and dancing peacefully.

It's just that the situation in Rongcheng's development this time is slightly different. Lingshan, as the pioneer, actually opened up the two northeastern corners to attract people's flow. The Lingshan themed arena in the North District has been expanded for two phases, and the number of seats is still in short supply. After the expansion, the functions have been enriched, and the price has been reduced a lot. It has also been proposed that after the three-phase expansion, it can challenge the Ancient Wild Demon. Praised by countless people for his operational conscience.

The logistics area in the East District is even busier. The original intention is to ensure the military logistics of the frontline soldiers. However, due to the entry of the major merchant groups of the Immortal Alliance, the places close to the logistics area have set up a one-stop service of food and entertainment on the spot to squeeze the rich wallets of the merchant group representatives.

Such an almost arrogant move has brought a great impact on the military control area, which should have been extremely solemn and solemn. The hundreds of thousands of tourists in the North District every day alone have once overcrowded the prison under the newly built Qingpingsi Tower.

Just as there are always unlucky people who die in absurd causes in military operations, there are always disobedient braves who want to break through the regional barrier among tourists.

However, no one had ever thought that there would be a brave man who could successfully break through the barrier restrictions and really run into the restricted area, and even leave a picture record!

When Ma Cong saw the scroll, he felt like the wild animal in the story, and he wanted to roll on the ground with excitement, because it was obvious that after the scroll was exposed, there would be a storm!

As a result, when the storm came as expected, Ma Cong remembered that he was also under the dark clouds.

After the painting became popular, the Dinghuang Army immediately responded, joined forces with the Qingping Division and the Taixu Division to arrest the person involved, interrogated him strictly, and then sent the front-line elite to the actual site along the path he confessed.

Ma Cong was that front-line elite.

At that time, he followed the regretful Qinglu Lord from the North District into a barren mountain. Not long after walking, he saw a dirt road in a pile of rocks. It opened the flaw of the military control barrier like a sharp cone of a broken bag and stretched to the west. At that time, the Qinglu Lord went straight to the Chilong land from there.

Ma Cong still can't forget the surprise in his heart when he went to the actual site and saw the ordinary dirt road.

That's it?

There were no signs of man-made damage, nor were they caused by natural disasters such as mountain torrents and earthquakes. In fact, there were four earth veins around Lingshan Mountain, so even if the earth dragon turned over, it would be firmly controlled.

The breach looked so careless, yet so justified, as if the breach was the original inhabitant, and the military formation barrier was a later addition.

The breach in the barrier itself was not serious. Ma Cong and several of his comrades repaired it on the spot with wooden talismans and jade. Because they moved too quickly, they also bounced the Qingping Division's Qingyi people who came over directly out of the boundary, knocking them all over, and finally had to pay for a good meal.

The whole thing seemed like a child's play, but it couldn't be a child's play. The barrier was designed by the masters of the Calculation Group in the rear, and was constructed by the elite soldiers of the Immortal Alliance, the Yishanying Camp. Before the official start of the land reclamation project, soldiers from each camp were arranged to patrol repeatedly along the carefully planned routes...

Now that I think about it, it can only be attributed to an "accident", right?

After a bitter smile, everyone talked about some topics about daily practice and training. Chang Feiran patiently answered everyone's questions and puzzled them, and time passed unknowingly.

An hour later, everyone had rested and recuperated. Seeing this, Chang Feiran took the lead to get up, but before he could give the order to set off, he heard the talisman on his waist ding-dong.

After unfolding the talisman, a plain-looking and tired face appeared on the talisman. When the soldiers saw it, they all became serious.

Because that was the current deputy commander of the West District Camp, the son of the marshal who was about to be promoted to general, Guan Dingnan.

After more than a month of land reclamation, Guan Dingnan seemed to have aged ten years. His hard work and fatigue were beyond words, but even though he was haggard, his eyes were shining, which made people in awe.

Behind Guan Dingnan, there is a young man in red, with a celestial temperament. Although he is gentle and at the back of the screen, he still overshadows Guan Dingnan's edge.

When Ma Cong saw him, he was startled, and then quietly reached out to the side to pat the comrade who was taking medicine to relieve his cough.

"Hey, Xiao You, your favorite Lord Wang Shan is here... Xiao You? Xiao You!?"
