i really have no talent

Chapter 26
These imperial guards just disappeared without a trace in this vast mountain, as if they had never been in this world.

At this moment, the mountains in Yuzhou seem to be completely silent.

There was no cloud in the sky, and a little bit of starlight fell, shining on the unmelted snow on the ground, presenting a light mercury-like scenery, which illuminated the surrounding mountain scenery more beautifully.

Suddenly, a footstep lightly stepped on the snow in this mountain range.

The visitor was dressed in black night clothes, with a bun on his head and a sharp sword in his hand. He stood there like this, and then scanned the surrounding mountains and forests with his eyes like torches, as if he was looking for something.

Even though it was late at night, with stars shining overhead, the field of vision was slightly worse than during daytime.

The man in black stood in the snow, his gaze slowly scanned little by little, and then he was constantly sorting out and analyzing in his mind.

"Ok?"

The man in black uttered a soft voice, then stepped on the snow and walked towards a snow field in the valley ahead.

"Pooh."

The man in black came to the front, squatted down, and dug out a ball-sized ball of snow with his fingers under the snow, and put it in his mouth, not minding the severe cold in the slightest.

"Popular."

The man in black said softly, and then revealed a wolf-like gaze in his eyes, constantly patrolling around, trying to find something.

The man in black holds the sword in his left hand, and with the fingers of his right hand, he keeps taking a small piece of nearby snow and putting it into his mouth, tasting it bit by bit.

The more he walked forward, the more snow he tasted, and the man in black became more and more confused at this moment.

Because, he searched within ten feet of the surrounding area, except for that one place, there was no other place where the smell of humans appeared.

Standing where he was, the man in black felt self-doubt for the first time.

"Let's look in the nearby mountains and forests, there may be clues."

The man in black murmured to himself, and then the figure began to rush in the valley, and after a while, he entered the mountain forest through the snow.

Compared with the outside, the temperature in the forest is higher, and the rotten leaves on the ground still exude a little warmth.

In some places, there was even a pungent smell, which made the man in black frown.

After a while, walking out of the forest, the man in black found nothing.

"Perhaps what happened just now was just an illusion. The human flavor may have been left by the hunters in the mountains."

The man in black glanced around, and then looked around with his rich experience from many life and death dilemmas over the years.

There is no trace of human life, and no trace of ambush, except for the excrement left by some wild animals, there are only some weird neighing sounds from nocturnal birds.

"Maybe I'm overthinking."

The man in black thought, then turned around and left, his figure gradually disappearing into the valley.

A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour...

One hour, two hours...

Until it was almost dawn, in the distant mountains and forests, the figure of the man in black reappeared, his eyes scanned the surroundings again, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

After lurking in the ice and snow for such a long time, even with his innate level of cultivation, he couldn't bear the cold. If anyone walked out of the valley, he would be frozen to death.

The man in black relaxed at this moment, and there was indeed no one in the valley.

Walking towards the valley, the man in black was full of doubts.

Why did the organization let him come here to investigate?

There are no people here, and there are no hidden places, but this time it is a waste of time.

Thinking in his heart, the man in black walked forward.

"Hey!"

Suddenly, he seemed to kick something hard under his feet.

The man in black was caught off guard and almost tripped.

After regaining consciousness, the man in black took a step back, looked at his feet, and dug into the snow with the scabbard in his hand, expanding the area of ​​​​the place.

"Huh? A box?"

The man in black became vigilant, and then looked around warily. After not seeing anyone for a long time, he felt relieved again.

"Crack clap!"

"........."

Pulling out the long sword, the man in black held the sword and chiseled the snow with all his strength, digging out the box that was buried under it bit by bit.

After about half an hour, the man in black looked at the big hole in front of him that was as deep as a person, and lifted out the box that was only the size of a human head.

After removing the dirt on the box, the pattern engraved on the box is also revealed at this moment.

"It seems to be an ancient decoration."

The man in black glanced at it, then turned the box over, and checked all around. Except for the decorations all over the box, he didn't see where to open the box.

"Bring it back to the organization, you can't get nothing."

The man in black said, wrapped the ancient box in his hand with a piece of black cloth, then walked out of the valley with it, and disappeared into the mountains.

An hour later, the sky gradually opened up, and the morning sun began to peek out from the top of the mountain little by little.

The sun shines on the valley, the tops of the trees in the forest, and the streams on the ground, all have streams of mist rising.

Among the mist and thick clouds, the birds and beasts in the mountains also began to wake up, making crisp sounds, and becoming more alive.

"hiss……"

There was a sound of inhalation, and a figure rolled out straight from under the snow, and then began to move slowly. The position was less than two feet away from the man in black who had left before.

Judging by his attire, this is also a man in black.

The difference from the previous man in black was that this man was able to lurk motionless in the ice and snow all night without freezing to death. I am afraid that his strength is already in the realm of a master.

A master in the realm of masters lurks in the ice and snow. Although he will not freeze to death, he will suffer, and his purpose should not be simple.

A quarter of an hour later, as if he had regained some strength, the man in black took out a cowhide-wrapped object from his arms, took out a piece of paper, cut his finger with a sharp weapon, and wrote a line of words on the blood that flowed out.

"Mission accomplished."

After finishing writing, a clear bird-like sound came from the mouth of the black-clothed person, and after a short wait, a falcon appeared from the sky and landed.

"Go."

Putting the letter into the mailbox on the falcon's feet, seeing the falcon soaring away, the man in black breathed a sigh of relief, then forced a breath, looked at the valley, and disappeared into the vast snow at this moment.

On the other side, within Yingtian Mansion, within the Great Xia Emperor's Palace.

A falcon flew over, and the specially guarded guards called the falcon with a unique tone, and then took down the letter in the foot tube.

"Urgent report, send to the command office."

"promise."

A guard took the order and went to the side hall with the copper box where the envelope was placed.

Opening the letter volume, looking at the long-dried blood on it and the message it sent, a rare smile appeared on Li Huo's face.

"it is good!"

A good word came out of his mouth, and his mood seemed to be much happier.

"Such news should be reported to His Majesty."

As Li Hu said, the smile on his face never faded, and then he took the letter in his hand and headed towards the Xuanzheng Hall, he wanted to tell His Majesty the news.

After all, this is the first step of this huge plan, and the whole world will start to change from this.

In the Xuanzheng Hall, Emperor Xia listened to the news reported by Li Hui, and scanned the four directions, east, west, north, south, and stopped for a while each time.

Emperor Xia's gaze was very deep, and there was no expression of joy or anger on his face, but his fingers kept tapping on the dragon case, very rhythmic, and he should be in a good mood.

"Go and open the first page of this prosperous world."

"promise!"

As Emperor Xia said, Li Huo, who was below, exited the Xuanzheng Hall with joy.
