Intermittent explosions continued until night fell.

While the exploration team was still finishing work, heavy snow fell on the Karakoram Mountains, coupled with the fierce cold wind blowing, the whole world immediately fell into chaos.

The lights of a row of all-terrain vehicles looked extraordinarily thin in the darkness.

The chief engineer pressed the radio switch on his chest, and when the headset was neutral, there was a noise of "呲呲".

This is the blizzard causing some interference to the radio. Fortunately, military radios now have an autonomous frequency hopping function, and the noise in the headphones quickly disappears.

So, the chief engineer opened his mouth and said: "Everyone, pay attention, the environment is harsh, drive carefully, follow the car in front, and don't get lost."

When they tossed back to the camp, Chen Shuo and others also got good news. The headquarters had found information about Wu Sinian.

Professor Feng took the tablet, glanced at it briefly, and explained: "After sending someone from the headquarters to retrieve the historical data that has been floating for a hundred years in 790, they finally found this name in the family tree of the Wu clan in Changmen of the Tang Dynasty."

"Because of his fame as a jinshi and later an official, his main life has been recorded."

Speaking of this, he took a closer look and finally said, "Wu Zhi, with the word Sinian, was born in the first year of Emperor Suzong's reign, and he studied painting with the descendants of Wu Daozi in his early years. He was born as a jinshi in the imperial examination and entered the Hanlin Academy as a sage."

"In the fourth year of Jianzhong, that is, in 783, he was demoted to Anxi because of asking for a tax waiver. His family thought he was dead."

"But in the second year of Baoli, in AD 825, Wu Sinian, who was already 68 years old and very old, actually returned to his hometown alone. At the right time, his parents, brothers, and wife were all deceased, and the eldest son also died of illness for two years. The grandsons are all 22 years old."

"The following year, Wu Sinian died of illness at home. When he was dying, he never told about Anxi's experience. He only left two sentences: 'The world is peaceful, and there are no regrets in this life.'"

"At that time, the state of separatism in Panzhen still existed in the Tang Dynasty, and there were still wars in the world, so no one understood what he meant, and it was only a confused speech or irony, meaning to sleep with regret."

After reading this, Professor Feng stopped and looked at the crowd.

"I studied painting with the descendants of Wu Daozi... No wonder the newly discovered murals in the Mazarboha Grottoes are so lifelike."

The middle-aged professor said with emotion.

Not to mention him, even people who know a little about history will definitely know the great name of "painting saint" Wu Daozi.

However, Chen Shuo's focus was sharper, he pondered deeply, and said, "Although Wu Sinian went to Anxi to be relegated, he is still an official, and his experience is nothing to say, but why he didn't mention a word. Woolen cloth?"

"Also, if he left it before his death, it would be fine if it was really recorded, but if not, what does it represent?"

He recalled the frescoes on the ruins of the Holy Shield in Zhongmagesu.

Otherworldly monsters do not exist for a long time, but after they appear, they will be suppressed by the Holy Shield and gradually disappear. After a long time, otherworldly monsters will appear again, and the cycle will repeat.

It was like a flash of lightning flashed through my mind.

Professor Chen Shuo's eyes suddenly widened: "Everyone, I have a guess right now."

"We already know that otherworldly monsters appear periodically, and around 790, otherworldly monsters appeared near the Western Regions. This is a sure thing."

"Then, when these monsters are all wiped out by the Holy Shield, is it 'peace in the world'? And Wu Sinian doesn't talk about Anxi's experience, is he unwilling to say it, or... can't say it?"

Everyone heard the words and gradually understood what he wanted to express.

"You mean... Wu Sinian probably joined the Holy Shield later?" Someone tried.

Professor Chen Shuo nodded solemnly: "Yes."

Everyone was stunned, only Professor Feng seemed to be thinking of something because of this guess. His eyes jumped up and down in thought, and he suddenly showed a look of shock.

"Wait, I'm thinking of a heavy-"

"Tut tug... tug tug..."

He raised his head, and as soon as he said the beginning of his words, there was a sudden loud gunshot outside, and he became sobbing under the shadow of the blizzard.

Everyone was immediately stunned, and the tent fell into dead silence.

"呲呲..."

There was a sudden noise from the radio on the table, along with the diluted gunshot.

After a while, the anxious voice finally came out: "We were attacked by an unknown giant creature!"

Chen Shuo and the others were horrified.

"We only carried guns, no large-caliber weapons."

"The weather is bad now, visibility is extremely poor, and the team members are wearing thick clothes that make it difficult for them to move. The attackers are very large and move quickly, so they have not been able to cause significant damage."

"and many more!"

The voice in the radio suddenly stopped, as if trying to observe the distance. The next second, the volume was like a volcanic eruption, suddenly rising: "More than one! There is more than one giant creature!"

"Fire with all your might! Fire with all your might! Never let them rush over!"

"Tut tug... tug tug..."

"Alternate shooting! Change ammunition in an orderly manner! Don't panic! I will stand at the front!"

"Boom, boom, boom..." The astonishing muffled sound got closer and closer.

"Get out of the way! Lao Chen, get out of the way!"

The sounds of gunshots, commands, and roars were crowded into everyone's ears through the radio. Except for Chen Shuo, the rest of the people who had never experienced this battle were at a loss.

And soon, as if something was knocked down, the ground shook slightly.

The energy-saving lamps swayed in circles again, and the water cup on the table slowly slipped, but it did not break due to the soft ground.

"Contact the border guards immediately! We need support!"

The anti-foreign team members and border guards on the radio did not mention that experts and technicians should retreat, because in such a harsh environment, escaping would only lead to faster death.

As the nominal team leader, Professor Chen Shuo gritted his teeth, slammed the table, and said to the crowd, "You stay here and don't run around."

Then he put on the oxygen equipment, turned around and strode away, pushed open the thermal insulation door and went out.

The wind and the snow were blowing, and his eyelashes condensed with frost in an instant. He opened his eyes with difficulty, and only saw muzzle fires flashing one after another in the southeast side of the camp.

He approached cautiously.

The gunshots became clearer.

Professor Chen Shuo saw that many tents here had collapsed, as if they had been trampled on by some giant objects, and the supporting skeletons were completely broken.

And a huge black creature full of hair lay in the center of the wreckage.

Farther away, the anti-foreign team members and border guards were relying on terrain and rocks to occasionally shoot into the blizzard, and more huge figures were looming in the darkness.

"Suddenly..."

"Right direction! Be careful!"

"What is the response of the superior, how long will it take for the support to arrive, and our ammunition may not last long!"

"boom!"

The grenade exploded in the distance.

Chen Shuo took a few more steps, and the residual warmth of the black giant corpse poured out.

He patted off the swirling snowflakes in front of him, and when he took advantage of the camp's lights to take in the full picture of the black giant corpse, he couldn't help taking a deep breath.

This black creature is nearly six meters high from head to toe. If you only look at the head and fur, it is almost a magnified yak.

However, its overall torso presents the outline of a human being, with five fingers on both hands, and although the lower limbs have cow-like hooves, they are clearly standing on two feet.

"This……"

This image reminded Chen Shuo of the Bull Demon King in "Journey to the West", or the Minotaur Tauren in Western legends.

At this moment, he heard a deafening roar, and he immediately covered his ears in pain, but his eyes subconsciously looked into the distance.

The ground vibrates regularly!

In the blizzard, a larger black shadow became more and more obvious, and a certain commander roared anxiously and pointed his hand at the shadow.

As a result, many muzzles were turned, and countless bullets swept across the flames.

"Moo..."

The terrifying roar sounded again, and the black shadow finally stepped into the crashing blizzard, clearly appearing in people's sight, and the bull-headed monster more than ten meters high rushed towards the camp.

The average rhino is 2.2 to 4.5 meters long, 1.2 to 2 meters high at the shoulder, and weighs 2.8 to 3 tons. If you can't hit the head, you need .475-inch bullets, which is about 12mm caliber.

And this bull-headed monster is obviously not an ordinary Blue Star creature. It is not only bigger, but also has tougher bones and flesh.

The 5.8mm bullet used in the 95 rifle can at most hit the edge of its muscle layer.

that's the truth.

I saw the bullet hit its torso, and I could vaguely see blood splashing around and blasting out many blood pits, but for the monster's size, it seemed insignificant.

"Grenade! Throw it all out for me!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

The defense forces threw all the grenades, and the explosions continued.. 0

But in the next second, the blood-splattered giant minotaur rushed through the smoke.

Seeing that the monster was rushing like a tank, and the weapons of himself and others could not stop it at all, everyone couldn't help but feel a deep despair in their hearts.

It took only a few steps to cross a distance of ten or twenty meters.

The terrifying shadow cast by the huge monster shrouded everyone nearby.

"Moo..."

When the minotaur opened its mouth and roared, the giant palm wider than the soldiers' height slammed, and before the palm reached, the strong palm wind almost blew people away.

suddenly--

An equally huge white figure suddenly jumped out of a rock on one side, knocking the giant tauren over ten meters high to the ground.

The giant palm brushed against the warrior's hat, and the strong wind that followed caused Zhi to stumble and fall.

Chen Shuo was shocked to see that two huge creatures, one black and one white, were entangled and slaughtered on the snow. The snowflakes brought up by the fluttering were almost like thick smoke, and the dim vision obscured the two. .

After four or five breaths, the white tiger and leopard-like giant creature threw itself out of the snow and mist, knocking down a tauren who was watching from a distance, and its sharp fangs precisely bit its neck.

Hearing a crisp "click", the tauren immediately froze.

"Moo..."

The giant tauren who was being teased also rushed out of the snow fog, roaring angrily and chasing the tiger and leopard creatures, but the latter just leaped lightly and disappeared into the darkness.

The former seemed to have little wisdom, staring at the blood-red eyes and continuing to chase away.

The blizzard was violent.

Both sides disappeared, but the roars came intermittently, causing the rest of the camp to look at each other.

"Is that white creature saving us just now, or is it simply the mortal enemy of the Minotaur?" A warrior couldn't help asking.

Chen Shuo stared at the dark distance, and said with certainty, "Even if it is a mortal enemy, it will not enter at this time. Nine times out of ten, it is deliberately saving us."

"But...why?"

Chen Shuo shook his head in confusion.

King Gesar, who is suspected to be a member of the Holy Shield, the demon kingdom hidden in the ground, the golden light falling from the sky, the giant monster with its head turned now, and the white tiger and leopard creatures...

All these things revolved in his mind, and when he couldn't make out the cut or the mess, he couldn't help but feel a deep emotion: After all, how many secrets are buried in this vast snowy area that has been inaccessible since ancient times?

At this moment, there was a roar in the distance.

The hearts of the people were immediately raised nervously.

Who's winning?

They all stared straight at the direction the giant creature was chasing away.

But time passed by minute by minute, and after a long time, there was only a seemingly eternal blizzard blowing mercilessly. 5.3

"Death together, or... gone?"

Someone muttered to himself.

Just as Chen Shuo was about to step closer to the outside, a huge amount of heat hit his face, his body froze, his eyes slowly widened, he turned around slowly, and met a pair of huge golden eyes.

It turned out that the white tiger and leopard-like giant creatures had silently stood on the side, watching them silently.

With a giant beast over ten meters in length, only two or three meters away, Chen Shuo hardly dared to move in the face of the almost substantive sense of oppression.

But he also saw the appearance of this creature at this time.

The fur is up, the whole body is gray and white, covered with black spots, and the furry tail is almost three-quarters of the length of the torso.

In addition, for some reason, he always felt that the pair of golden eyes of this giant snow leopard was strangely familiar.

At this time, the soldiers finally realized the abnormality behind them, and turned their heads sharply. At the same time, they were startled, and at the same time, the trained instinct made them immediately alert to raise their guns.

Seeing the humanized dissatisfaction in the giant snow leopard in front of him because of his own actions, Chen Shuo quickly said, "Lower the muzzle!"

And the commander also reacted.

At such a close distance, if this giant cat really does it, these broken guns are better than burning fire sticks, and it just saved the lives of himself and others, so it is better to show kindness generously.

So, he quickly said, "Put down all the guns!"

Only then did the golden eyes of the giant snow leopard return to calm, and then he opened his mouth slightly, and a voice came out that shocked everyone:

"I can take you to the ancient demon kingdom."
