After the fog, I became a birdman

Back at the Fengcheng base, the army of monsters had retreated, and the vicinity of the base was in a mess, with traces of being trampled by monsters everywhere.

The same is true for the well-built base. If you want to restore it to the appearance it was a few days ago, you must spend a lot of thought.

Master Han and the others were counting the battle damage and gains, so Su Qing and the others didn't plan to disturb too much, and went to the two children at home after talking about the scheduled assessment in two days.

Shanshan is still cooperating with Shantu to defend the city, while Jinjin is more free. He looks like a bomber wherever he goes, breathing fire with a bang, which disturbs the army of monsters and beasts. A few monsters whose strength is similar to his, I'm afraid he doesn't know what restraint is.

When Su Qing went to look for Shanshan, the little guy didn't intend to go with him, but wanted to stay in the base. He thought that Shanshan's strength is also good now, so he didn't necessarily let her follow, but told her to be careful in everything .

As for Jin Jin, he naturally had only one choice.

Su Qing and the others are not ready to go home yet, but are going to dig out all the big wooden mines in Shanshan.

The expansion ratio varies from place to place. The distance between the large mine and the base has almost tripled from the previous 5000 kilometers to more than [-] kilometers.

After arriving here, the tunnel Zhou Chen had dug before was gone, and the spiritual veins were buried deep in the ground. Qi Jiang had no choice but to dig a downward tunnel by himself, and Su Qing just waited on it if he couldn't help.

Jin Jin was very curious about this place, and felt bored while waiting, so she went to other places.

The sun didn't come out today, and the sky started to snow. Su Qing felt a little cold, so he took out the thermometer and put it away after a while.

"The temperature is a little higher at noon, and it's already minus ten degrees." Su Qing rubbed his hands, took out his gloves and put them on, and gave him another pair when he was pouring mud on Qi Jiang, "Brother Jiang, put them on."

Qi Jiang is now used to being covered with dragon scale battle armor from the neck down, but for the convenience of work, he will expose his hands. At minus ten degrees at the moment, he also feels a little cold, so he took the gloves, put them on and looked at the deserted surroundings mountains.

Because it has just snowed, the ash and charcoal on the mountain have not been covered, and it looks a bit dirty, Qi Jiang took out a blanket and put it on the ground: "Sit down for a while, this mountain is much more difficult to dig than before, it will take a while .”

The blankets were all placed on the ground. Since it was dirty, Su Qing sat down without wasting it: "Do you find it difficult to dig out with a dragon horn knife?"

Qi Jiang hummed, put on his gloves and continued to dig the hole: "Has there any response from Uncle Qi?"

"I said that I will be able to reach Gaocheng in a few days. They met the survey team who came back from Gaocheng on the way." Su Qing put on his coat while squatting on the edge of the cave and looked in, "Are you cold? Put on a coat ?”

"It's fine if you have dragon scales." Qi Jiang's voice came from the deep cave.

Su Qing sighed slightly: "I already have an ice cap, why can't I resist the frost like you."

Qi Jiang chuckled: "You used to feel cold at ten degrees Celsius, but now you only need to add a coat at minus ten degrees, isn't that enough?"

"Not as useful as your dragon scales." Su Qing was mainly envious of this.

"It's not good-looking." Qi Jiang climbed out again to dump the dirt, "I feel like I'm getting uglier and uglier compared to you."

Su Qing curled his lips and smiled, his snow-white skin looked whiter than the snow falling from the sky, Qi Jiang helped him pat the snow off his head, and took out a hat to put on.

"It's a bit hot." Su Qing touched the hat, "Are you cold? Why don't you wear it."

"I'm not cold." Qi Jiang refused to let him take it off, "The temperature will be high when I go in later, and the snow will wet my hair, so I won't be able to catch a cold."

Su Qing is much better now, but she is still afraid of getting sick, so she nodded upon hearing this.

It took Qi Jiang more than half an hour to dig a tunnel. Seeing how difficult it was for him to dig, Su Qing picked some rocks with the spirit arrow, and felt that it was indeed relatively hard.

"Brother Jiang, was it so difficult for you to dig out the spiritual veins a few days ago?" Su Qing was a little curious.

"Well, many of the stones have hardened now, but after digging out, they are almost the same as before. I think it should be a problem with the surrounding magnetic field." Qi Jiang's voice came from inside, with some echoes.

Su Qing looked at the soil he dumped at the entrance of the cave, then stabbed it with a spiritual arrow, and found that it was exactly as Qi Jiang said.

The world is changing with each passing day. It seems that after each earthquake, one cannot rely too much on previous experience.

After a while, Qi Jiang brought out the last pile of soil, and then handed Su Qing a piece of wood spirit mine: "The spirit mine has also hardened, and it is more restrained than before."

If he didn't know the location of the spirit vein, even with the newly made compass, he wouldn't be able to sense the wood spirit energy.

"Then it seems that it is not so easy to find a large spiritual vein for Jin Jin." Su Qing threw down the wood spirit mine in his hand, "Uncle Qi still needs some time, let's use this time to get the spiritual vein on the map Dig it all up."

"Alright." Qi Jiang nodded, put the rope ladder inside, and stretched out his hand after climbing down first, "Give me your hand, be careful."

Because it was not easy to dig, the tunnel he dug was not big, and he couldn't fly out directly, so he could only use crawling.

He himself didn't use a rope ladder, but Su Qing's skill was not as good as his, so Qi Jiang was a little worried that he would fall.

Su Qing glanced at the bottomless passage, and shook her head slightly: "Go down, I will do it myself."

Seeing his insistence, Qi Jiang gave up and jumped directly into it. Although Qi Jiang would not be injured at this height, Su Qing was still terrified.

Su Qing climbed to the bottom of the rope ladder, Qi Jiang had already got into the spiritual vein, and there was a lantern placed some distance away.

"Am I waiting for you here?"

"Come in, I'll divide the spirit veins into several parts, and you can take them in directly." Qi Jiang's voice came from the passage.

Su Qing hummed, crawled in along the passage, and soon came behind Qi Jiang, followed him to the place where the white wood was.

There is still a piece of spiritual mine missing here, and there is a passage in the other direction, which is where Qi Jiang came in before.

There is still some white wood smell around, which smells very fresh.

Qi Jiang was cutting the spiritual veins, Su Qing sat there waiting for him, and after a while, he found a green vine in the soil directly under the original white wood, separated from him by many spiritual mines, which seemed to move a little.

"Brother Jiang, is the following..."

A huge force came from the leg, and Su Qing's ankle hurt, and he was dragged to the ground, letting out a cry of pain.

A vine did not know where it came from. Su Qing was dragged and slid backwards from the tunnel of the spiritual mine that had been dug a long time ago but filled back as it was, and the numbness was transmitted from the ankle to the wrist.

boom!

A ball of flames ignited from Su Qing's body, the vines on his ankles were burned, and he let out a piercing scream. He immediately let go of Su Qing and twisted himself back, but the flames on his body followed like a shadow, no matter how it flapped or rolled Neither could extinguish the flame.

"Susu!" Qi Jiang quickly chased after him, frowned and took a few steps back holding Su Qing, "How are you?"

The flame burned very fast, just like the fire wire burning when fireworks were lit, leaving a thumb-thin line of ashes in the front passage, and there were screams at the end of the passage.

Su Qing pressed her ankle with her hand, then shook her head lightly: "I'm fine, it's just that my feet are numb."

Qi Jiang left a dragon horn knife beside him: "I'll go and have a look."

"Ah."

Going forward along the passage, you come to a cave in the mountain wall. The temperature in the cave is very high, and you can smell a burnt smell faintly. The ground is covered with ashes, and there are still many burned on the mountain wall. over traces,

This was the first time Qi Jiang saw Su Qing use his flame ability, it seemed like a stress response, but the degree of difficulty was not something anyone could afford.

There is a green rhombic crystal in the center of the cave. Its breath is a bit like but not quite like that of the beast pill. It looks very much like a crystal.

Qi Jiang checked the cave for a few minutes, and when he found nothing else, he went back with the crystal.

"How is it?" Su Qing asked while rubbing her ankle.

"It's dead, its body is very big, it's just been burnt out, so we can't tell what it looked like." Qi Jiang felt a little regretful, and gave the crystal to Su Qing, "This should be its beast pill."

Su Qing glanced at the plant crystal, put it away and stood up supporting the passage wall, Qi Jiang hurried over to help it.

"It seems that there are no plants in this world." Su Qing didn't expect to have such an unexpected harvest, "The breath of crystal is almost the second step. I think it has existed here for a long time. Didn't you find it last time?"

Qi Jiang shook his head: "No."

"Could it be that the normal plants are all dead and only mutated plants are left?" Su Qing analyzed as he walked, "It stands to reason that the probability of plants mutating shouldn't be that small."

"Could it be grown from a seed? After being instilled with spiritual energy and blessed by heaven and earth, it grows very quickly." Qi Jiang helped him to a spacious place to sit down, "Like a monster cub?"

"If this is the case, then the time for plant recovery should not be far away."

He was referring to the timing of a massive recovery.

"Then the world will become more dangerous." Qi Jiang dare not underestimate plants, "The speed of plant rise will definitely not be slow."

Su Qing nodded in agreement: "There must be a lot of mutated plants hidden in the dark."

There is a second step here, so are there plants from the first step or even stronger plants elsewhere?

"In this way, there are indeed many more hidden threats." Qi Jiang thought of the abyss he discovered, "The abyss, the ocean, Fengwai Mountain, and mutant plants are all threats to us. More dangers we haven't seen."

Calculated in this way, there are really many dangers within a radius of [-] kilometers.

The two only felt that the world was becoming more and more unfriendly to them, but they only had a few words of emotion, and soon resumed their work.

Two days later, the assessment time came. Tan Yilong and others were nervously waiting outside Mr. Han's office early in the morning. Zhou Chen also wanted to see what everyone's assessment was.

The weather is getting colder, the battlefield has already been cleaned, and now there are many fewer people walking around in the base than before. At a glance, the entire base is empty.

Except for the ice-type and fire-type mutants, everyone else is wearing thick animal skin clothes. If the clothes have fur, they will be more comfortable, and at least they can go out for activities. If not, it will be more difficult, even the house Can't get out.

But there are no absolutes, at least Su Qing and the others saw many people leaving the base in groups even though they were shivering from the cold, trying to move their bodies as much as possible while walking around to make themselves more flexible.

Because it was too cold, they seldom spoke, but Su Qing and the two just met too many teams, and they could hear their purpose from the communication between the teams.

Everyone is going to go hunting and prepare more animal skins for the winter.

In such a cold weather, many people are very stiff even in their movements, and the monsters are powerful. Going out to hunt is very dangerous. In the past, it was absolutely impossible to see so many people leaving a relatively safe base, and even the team could not be formed. , let alone as mighty as it is now.

"The mental outlook has indeed changed." Su Qing said sincerely, "It's really different from before."

"How about a gorgeous transformation?" Qi Jiang smiled, "It's not in vain that Mr. Han has planned so much for them."

They chatted for a while, and soon came to the management area, and saw that the number of people waiting outside the office changed from six to five, and Huang Lin was really gone.

When Qi Jiang went to kill monsters before, he found Huang Lin lying on the ground, but he didn't pay much attention, and he didn't find Huang Lin when he went to the main tent with Su Qing, but he thought he was seriously injured or in other places. place.

Thinking back carefully now, Huang Lin was out of breath at that time, and he was really gone.

There are always many accidents in this world. Qi Jiang and Su Qing glanced at each other without asking any more questions, and returned their attention to today's assessment.

The place here is not big enough, Qi Jiang turned around and said, "Go to the school for the test."

When they came to the school grounds for the first assessment, Su Qing took out a chair and sat in the farthest place, and Qi Jiang took out six test papers and handed them out to everyone one by one: "Although you have all awakened your blood, there are too many things ahead. , I didn’t adjust the training plan, so I will still conduct the assessment according to the previous homework, and you will do it according to the questions on your respective test papers, and we will grade the specific results according to the situation.”

Everyone's test paper is different. In fact, it is to use the homework assigned before as a topic and let them do it again face to face.

After Qi Jiang handed out the test papers, he took a stool and sat across from Su Qing. The two sat on the opposite corner of the school field and looked at each other from a distance.

Tan Yilong took the test paper, sure that he knew all these questions, and looked at the other people who were close at hand with some puzzlement.

Everyone was also puzzled, but since the exam was about to take place, it was naturally not easy to whisper to each other, so the five of them quickly occupied an area of ​​the school grounds and began to operate.

Zhou Chen was relatively close to Su Qing, so he walked over boldly and saw a few lines written in the notebook.

【Tan Yilong】

Abilities: Fly, Falcon Talon, Falcon Eye, Feather Bomb

Weapon: Barbed Dagger

Homework [-]: Eagle Claw Segmented Display

Score: The operation was successful, the time was 3 minutes and 23 seconds, the speed was poor, the refinement was poor, the original function was kept high, and the control was average.

The column of assessment results below is empty, and the evaluation angle of homework [-] is different. Seeing these quantitative indicators, Zhou Chen probably understands why the assessment is directly based on homework questions.

What the two consultants want to test is not whether you can complete it, but how well you complete it.

There was a flurry of sand and stones in the school field. Everyone had different topics and needed different spaces.

For example, Tan Yilong, what he needs more is the sky, and what other people need is the ground. The abilities of the four people on the ground are also different. The three of Sun Miaomiao needed less space.

During everyone's exams, Zhou Chen also carefully observed the movements and expressions of the two consultants, and found that the two of them were just like watching a performance. They didn't write at all, and their attitude seemed careless.

About three hours later, Sun Miaomiao and Lin Qixue completed the exam one after another. Ten minutes later, Zhang Bufan also put away the snake tail. Two minutes later, Tan Yilong landed on the ground. One minute later, He Mao also came out of the shadows. out.

After they were all finished, Su Qing and Qi Jiang lowered their heads to rate them one by one. While scoring, they stood up and walked together without any verbal exchange. They just looked at each other and lowered their heads to record something.

After Su Qing finished writing, he gave the notebook to Qi Jiang, and stood by to watch him summarize the results. After a while, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Tan Yilong was indeed the successor chosen by Mr. Han.

Among the five, Tan Yilong used to have a lot of things to do, so his progress was the slowest, but after Qi Jiang talked about the assessment in late September, although he didn't attend classes like this later, he has been hurrying to catch up with the progress , Usually when you meet Qi Jiang or Su Qing, you will come to ask some questions.

Ten days passed, and no one attended much class, but Tan Yilong seized this opportunity to catch up with the progress.

While they were summarizing, Master Han also took time to look at the final results, and came over from the corridor after Qi Jiang stopped writing.

"Consultant Qi, Consultant Su, how are your grades?"

"It's okay." Qi Jiang nodded with dignity, walked over and tore off everyone's papers, distributed them one by one, and gave each of Tan Yilong and Zhou Chen a communication jade talisman: "In the past two days, you can think about what you mainly want. After choosing what to learn, you can go to the cultivation department to find the corresponding information."

"If you have a concept, you don't need to follow along. The new textbook will be released in two days. Learn according to the textbook. How much you can learn depends on your own ability. There will be no assessment in the middle, and the training will end in November." Su Qing added beside him.

Teacher Han, who wanted them to charge two more people, his eyes lit up when he heard this: "Consultant Su, how much is the new textbook?"

Qi Jiang smiled but said, "Mr. Han, if you can't even afford mental methods, don't even think about these new textbooks."

Master Han choked, and didn't mention the word "buy", but smiled and said, "Can we add one more person?"

"No time." Qi Jiang directly refused, and took out a piece of paper and handed it to Zhou Chen, "According to the above, first catch up with the progress."

After finishing speaking, he left with Su Qing, and Master Han followed.

"Consultant Qi, Consultant Su, I want to ask you something." Master Han whispered as he walked beside the two.

Qi Jiang turned his head: "Say it."

"How to train a war pet?" Mr. Han said with some envy, "Is there any trick to the golden eagle and cat you cultivated?"

"There's no secret." Qi Jiang didn't hide it from him, "Shan Shan and Jin Jin's bloodlines are already high, and we can't help much."

Master Han chewed the words "bloodline level" carefully, thoughtfully.

Leaving the battle group, Qi Jiang and the two were about to leave. Master Han came back to his senses and remembered his purpose of following up: "Two advisers, go to the office to have a chat? I have something I want to ask you two."

Hearing this, Qi and Su turned around and followed him to the office.

When the three of them came to the room, Master Han closed the door, asked them to sit down, and then asked, "Two advisors, I have some questions about the new mental method."

"I remember I said it last time, it is a mental method suitable for the current environment." Su Qing replied with some doubts.

Teacher Han nodded lightly: "Although that is the case, since everyone has awakened their blood, it is no longer necessary to use the mind method to draw qi into the body and then recognize the main magic weapon. In addition, the mind method has other functions Is it? The training of the two of you also puts a lot of emphasis on the mental method, but at present, the mental method is not very necessary, I wonder if it will be used in the future?"

Hearing this, Su Qing shook his head: "It doesn't seem to be necessary at the moment. I changed my mind just to better fit with dark matter and plan ahead."

The mystery of dark matter has not been solved, and Mr. Han is a little entangled in thinking that there is no way to quickly accomplish the practice of mind.

"Do you need to use your heart to refine weapons?" Mr. Han asked luckily.

Su Qing raised a polite smile: "What do you think?"

Qi Jiang understood Mr. Han's entanglement: "At present, mind cultivation and mutation are two different systems, but they are related. If Mr. Han wants Tan Yilong and the others to only learn about mutation Things are okay."

"Is it possible to get started with crafting in one month?" Mr. Han is still very entangled.

"No, considering the talents of Tan Yilong and Zhou Chen, they can't do it." Qi Jiang shook his head directly.

"In this case, let them learn the mutation system." Teacher Han finally made a decision, "I will tell them."

To be honest, Su Qing doesn't recommend it.

He said before that it is also very helpful to sort out the bloodline ability when running the mental method, just like he doesn't use other bloodline abilities very much, but he is not unfamiliar.

Moreover, the new mental method is equivalent to providing a door to open dark matter for people who cannot sense dark matter. Even if dark matter is becoming more and more difficult to sense, and we still don’t know what it does, it must be very important. Give up the cultivation system It is very unwise.

But it was Mr. Han who paid the money, and they were just training teachers, so Su Qing didn't interfere with Mr. Han's decision.

Leaving the Fengcheng base, Su Qing whispered when no one was around: "Since Mr. Han wants to give up the cultivation system, shouldn't our teaching materials be changed?"

"Let's change it." Qi Jiang nodded, "Based on this, we won't have anything to teach until November."

A large part of their plan is to teach the relatively mysterious cultivation system. Since this is to be cut off, the remaining ten days and a half months can be taught, and then let Tan Yilong and the two slowly figure it out. .

"Then let's charge less for the training fee." Su Qing decided not to take advantage of the Fengcheng base, lest Mr. Han's little old man come back to bargain with them shamelessly.

"We don't need to install people in the cultivation department, so let's do it." Qi Jiang exposed the matter.

Su Qing also nodded in agreement: "That's true."

He used to want to control the cultivation department behind the scenes because he was afraid that Huang Lao would find an opportunity to intervene in the future, but since Huang Lao must die, and now that his mentality is getting weaker, and the cultivation department cannot be supported by mud, he doesn't have to maintain the original plan.

They have experienced things like the plan not being able to keep up with the changes too many times, and they didn't feel any regrets after exposing this matter.

Used to it.

Back home, Qi Jiang went to figure out how to make his Qiankun bag, while Su Qing sat on the living room carpet to revise the new textbook.

The sun was slowly setting to the west, and the temperature outside dropped again. The cold wind blew in through the window. Su Qing shivered, and found a thin blanket to wrap over his body and continued to work.

Qi Jiang came out of the study: "What's for dinner tonight?"

"Eat lamb chops and mutton soup, it's warm." Su Qing said without raising his head, the pen in his hand was still writing.

Qi Jiang went to close the window, came back and stretched out his hand to touch his face, seeing that it was a little cold from the wind, he said with some disapproval: "The body just started to work, next time we can't keep the window open."

Su Qing nodded with a guilty conscience: "Forgot to turn it off."

Since he admitted his mistake well, Qi Jiang didn't pursue it, turned around and walked into the kitchen, and asked by the way: "Apart from mutton soup, what else do you want to eat? Can you eat peaches as a fruit?"

"I want to eat watermelon." Su Qing thinks watermelon is the best.

"The lamb chops, what flavor do you want to eat, is it garlic or..."

Rumble!

The ground shook for a while, and Su Qing and Qi Jiang subconsciously flew to a familiar corner. They thought it was an expanding earthquake, but they didn't expect the earthquake to stop as soon as they squatted down.

After a while, Qi Jiang came to his senses and looked in the direction of Fengwai Mountain with a serious expression: "Is it the shock coming from there?"

"Yes." Su Qing was a little surprised, "Such a big movement, could it be that the mountain has fallen?"

After several expansions, Mount Fengwai was five or six thousand kilometers away from them. Naturally, their eyesight couldn't see that far. They could only stand on a small cliff and look at the sky over there, but they didn't notice anything unusual.

After Qi Jiang awakened, he was also very afraid of Fengwai Mountain, and his intuition told him that it is best not to go there if there is nothing to do.

But if something happened and he didn't know the reason, he couldn't be relieved: "Would you like to take a look?"

"Go and have a look." Su Qing nodded worriedly.

The two flew over together, and it took a total of six hours to reach Fengwai Mountain.

It was very peaceful here, and the monsters on the mountain thought it was an expanding earthquake, but they didn't realize that it was Fengwai Mountain itself that was shaking. After the earthquake was over, they were very used to tidying up their lairs or going out to hunt.

Therefore, when Su Qing and the two came over, everything here was as usual, and there was nothing unusual.

"Why is it so quiet here?" Su Qing was puzzled.

Qi Jiang also shook his head in confusion, wondering if it was an earthquake from the coast of the canyon or the Fengcheng Basin, but when they went to look at these two places, they didn't find anything unusual.

They sneaked into Fengwai Mountain in the dark and wandered around for several times but couldn't find the answer. The whole Fengwai Mountain was telling them: nothing happened, don't worry.

But is that really the case?
