Embers Ad Infinitum

Jiang Baimian quickly regained his composure and asked aloud:

"Have you sensed where they are?"

She was among the mountains, and there were too many creatures with electrical signals outside, including those with a certain size. Therefore, she couldn't tell which two corresponded to the nightmare horse and the sleeping cat.

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Jiang Baimian regretted it, because the Nightmare Horse and Sleeping Cat were aberrant creatures, not human beings, and Shang Jianyao might not be able to sense their consciousness.

The next second, Shang Jianyao retracted his hands and put the "Blind Ring" on his left wrist.

Then, he took off his tactical backpack and took out a blue and white loudspeaker.

Immediately afterwards, he turned on the loudspeaker and brought it to his mouth, causing the black hair braided ornament to light up like fire.

Jiang Baimian did not stop him and watched the development of things with expectation.

Time seemed to have stopped at this moment. After several seconds, Shang Jianyao's voice reached an area outside the camp and echoed around:

"You should know:

"I am Xiao Chong's friend:

“I want to play games with Xiao Chong;

"so……"

Using "Mystery Clown"... He can now sense the consciousness of Nightmare Horse and Sleeping Cat? As Jiang Baimian's thoughts were ups and downs, he found that many people in the camp were woken up or interrupted from what they were currently doing.

This includes Long Yuehong, Bai Chen and Gnawa.

On the fourth floor of the main building of the castle, Wang Fugui, who was staying in a hotel room, listened for a while, walked to the window with a slight frown, and turned his attention to the place where the "Old Tune Group" was.

With the help of the light of the street lamp, he saw Shang Jianyao and the loudspeaker in Shang Jianyao's hands, and his expression became more and more confused.

He had no idea who this guy was talking to, what the meaning of those words was, and who Xiao Chong belonged to.

Following Shang Jianyao's direction, Wang Fugui looked out of the camp in a condescending manner.

Under the moonlight, the darkness was hazy, and there seemed to be nothing.

Shang Jianyao waited for a long time, repeated what he just said twice, and finally put down the loudspeaker in his hand.

He said with regret:

"They may have some IQ issues, and maybe they didn't understand what I meant."

I hope they can understand that you have more problems with your brain... You are not Xiao Chong... Jiang Baimian cursed and glanced at Bai Chen, Long Yuehong and Gennava who opened the car door and came out.

Then, she asked Shang Jianyao:

"Can you sense their consciousness?"

"It doesn't work normally." Shang Jianyao raised his left hand and showed the "blind ring" on his wrist. "You can use it. I can sense a position about thirty meters away in that direction. There are two non-human but relatively close consciousness, and they are different from other creatures because other creatures do not exhibit clear consciousness to sense."

Thirty meters was within the range of Shang Jianyao's "lack of movement of both hands", but he couldn't find the target without using the "blind ring".

Can we sense the consciousness of aberrant creatures when we reach the "soul corridor" level? Jiang Baimian nodded with understanding.

When she ambushed the giant white wolf before, she asked Shang Jianyao to use the "Blind Ring" to sense the situation in the distance, not because she had already determined this, but because she wanted to use this to prevent accidents.

And surprises often come from humans.

Of course, she also had the idea to test whether the "Blind Ring" could sense the consciousness of aberrant creatures.

"What now? Are they still there?" Jiang Baimian asked.

Shang Jianyao shook his head:

"When I shouted the second time, they withdrew from the thirty-meter range. Hey, they may not be able to tell which pair of hands and which pair of feet. The 'missing movement of both hands' failed to produce an effect."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Jiang Baimian wanted to say "I haven't caught up yet", but after thinking about it, it was safer to have Lao Ge take action.

Shang Jianyao answered truthfully:

"I thought they were going to notify Xiao Chong, but it seems not to be the case."

Xiao Chong may still be playing games in the city... Jiang Baimian slowly exhaled and said:

"Xiaohong, Xiaobai, bring out two exoskeleton devices.

"Hey, Laoge and I will catch up and have a look, hoping we can stop them in time."

In the mountains, at this distance, without an exoskeleton device, it would be almost impossible to catch up with the two aberrant creatures.

"Then I'll go there first." Gnawa said without any delay.

"Okay." Jiang Baimian had this intention.

After listening to the description of the location given by Shang Jianyao, Gennava immediately rushed to the castle wall, pressed his hand and jumped into the air.

Under the stunned gaze of the patrolling soldiers, he jumped directly outside and ran towards the target area.

——At this moment, the gate to the forward camp is closed.

Wang Fugui, who was on the fourth floor of the main building of the castle, was stunned for several seconds when he saw this scene.

"It's great to have a robot..." he sighed with envy.

Using the moonlight, he observed the direction of Gnawa and found that it was parked dozens of meters away, not knowing what it was looking for.

After a while, Wang Fugui, who had gained nothing, turned his attention back to the area where the "Old Adjustment Team" parked its car.

Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian had just put on the military exoskeleton devices and were moving their hands and feet there to familiarize themselves with the situation.

"This..." Wang Fugui's eyes almost popped out.

He knew that this team had a background, strong strength, and a lot of equipment, but he didn't expect that the team had so much equipment and was so strong.

They are not very old models... Who are these people... Wang Fugui watched Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao running towards the castle wall. He also pressed his hand, jumped up, and flew more than four meters. of walls.

The patrolling soldiers looked on blankly and did not dare to stop them.

They felt this was the most humiliating day for the castle walls.

Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao quickly came to Gnawa's side.

"There were horse hoof prints, but they disappeared in the forest." Gnawa pointed to a dense forest.

There are overgrown weeds and a complex environment, making it very difficult to find clues.

"Forget it." Jiang Baimian breathed out.

With Gnawa here, there is still some hope of tracing the traces, but I don't know how much time it will take.

And the Nightmare Horse and Sleeping Cat couldn't stay still forever. By that time, they would have been out of tracking range.

Jiang Baimian then looked around, looked at Shang Jianyao and said:

"Could the Nightmare Horse really be tricked by the white wolf cry you imitated?"

There is still a certain difference between the human howl and the howl of a wolf.

If Nightmare Horse was really fooled by this, it would be a shame to the world of aberrant creatures.

"There is no other possibility." Shang Jianyao looked proud.

Jiang Baimian said "hmm" and said to himself doubtfully:

"But why did it let the sleeping cat deal with me and not you?"

Liar, no, the person who deceived the horse was obviously Shang Jianyao!

Shang Jianyao thought for a moment and said seriously:

"Maybe you're more attractive."

"Ah?" No matter how quick-thinking Jiang Baimian was, he couldn't understand what this guy meant, and Gnawa couldn't analyze it either.

Shang Jianyao explained seriously:

"The nightmare horse heard the white wolf's cry and rushed over, but it didn't find the target. And where the sound came from, you were the most charming one, so it thought you had abducted the white wolf and refused to let them I fell in love with each other, so I started targeting you.

"You know, he's not very smart. After all, he's just a horse."

"..." On the one hand, Jiang Baimian felt that this explanation was ridiculous, but on the other hand, she had some inexplicable suspicion that this might be the truth.

After a few seconds, she exhaled and said:

"Go back, I hope they can understand that you are Xiao Chong's friend."

The group of three people once again returned to the castle wall that served as the advance camp. They each pressed their hands and jumped in easily.

The patrolling soldiers pretended not to see anything.

After discussing the situation with Long Yuehong and Bai Chen, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao took off their exoskeleton devices and continued their night watch.

After several rotations, a dim light appeared on the horizon.

After breakfast, several members of the "Old Tune Team" separately asked everyone in the advancing camp to see if they had seen anything similar to the Nightmare Horse.

This time, no matter who it was, they were polite to them and had a good attitude.

"Have you ever seen a horse? It's black, not as tall as me, the color of its mane and tail looks like blood that has been solidified for a long time, and its eyes are similar..." After asking around a lot, Shang Jianyao found the name of the camp hotel. boss.

In fact, they have never actually seen a nightmare horse. All descriptions of the appearance of a nightmare horse come from Qiao Chu.

The owner of the hotel was also quite young and his temples were already gray. He said doubtfully:

"I've seen it before. Did you lose it?"

"Where have you seen it?" Shang Jianyao asked excitedly, and Jiang Baimian suddenly became energetic.

The boss recalled:

“It looks quite special, and I’m very impressed.

“Some time ago, we were short of livestock to transport supplies into the mountains, so we asked homeless people in nearby gathering points for help, and someone brought over such a horse.

"It works very hard. I want to buy it, but the man won't sell it."

Vehicles are difficult to travel in many places in the mountains, so supplies can only be transported by livestock or by humans carrying them on their shoulders.

"After that period of work, it was taken away." The boss continued, "I paid a total of 15 ores coins."

Jiang Baimian was extremely confused when he heard this, and wondered whether the boss had mistakenly admitted the wrong horse.

Nightmare Horse actually came to the advance camp to work as a coolie and transport supplies?

This is a very powerful aberrant creature!

After repeated inquiries by Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao, the boss said that there was indeed such a horse.

"I understand!" Shang Jianyao suddenly clenched his right fist and hit his left palm.

"What?" Jiang Baimian asked subconsciously.

Shang Jianyao replied seriously:

"It's working and making money."

"Ah? Why?" Jiang Baimian couldn't understand at all.

Shang Jianyao said happily:

"Earn rent, electricity and water bills for Xiao Chong."

He seems to think that having a pet to this extent is already enviable.

"..." Jiang Baimian once again had this feeling. Although it was very strange, it didn't seem impossible to happen to strange creatures.

But, the majestic “King of the Careless” also has to pay rent, water and electricity bills?

At this time, the hotel owner looked at them doubtfully and said:

"Is the Xiao Chong you're talking about the one who brought him here?"
