Chapter 1026: Hometown
The three of them rode the Tianma from Snow City, crossed the glacier river and stepped into the glacier Forest. It was not until late at night that they saw a giant ice surface connecting the sky. Yun Xiao looked at it again and again, and always felt that the scene in front of him was a little familiar. It seemed that she had been here before. She looked at Xiao Qianye beside her in confusion. Seeing that the two brothers had jumped off the Tianma and carefully checked the surroundings. She breathed a sigh of relief when she agreed that there was no abnormality. She hurriedly followed, raised her hand and gently stroked the ice surface, and asked in a low voice: "Has I been here?"
"Yeah." Xiao Qianye nodded, and quickly found a thin entrance based on his memory. "Before the shattering... we came here once."
"It's that city..." Yun Xiao was a little surprised. At that time, it was because Di Zhong's situation was extremely dangerous. In order to awaken his increasingly distant consciousness, they came here unexpectedly.
Through this narrow crack, the scenery in front of you suddenly became clear, and a world of ice crystals appeared in the eyes of the three of you, like a country of snow-colored isolated from the world, quiet and beautiful.
This city hidden deep in the forbidden area is very similar to the hometown of Di Zhong. When she first stepped into this place, she felt particularly peaceful, but when she knew that this was the hometown of the Lingxu clan, she couldn't help feeling a sense of coldness.
Yun Xiao took a step forward, exactly like what she saw last time. The totem of a phoenix appeared on these huge glaciers. Countless snow lights floated in the air like fireflies. She slowly went deeper along the road, and each step made a crisp and pleasant sound. The fireflies followed her footsteps, like light feathers, making her unable to help but raise her hand and hold it into her palm. The moment the fire flashed slightly, the totems of the city seemed to come alive in an instant. It was a gorgeous divine bird, stretching its dazzling wings. It quietly and kindly looked at the whole city, like a silent guardian.
Yun Xiao turned around and looked at the two people with different expressions. Only Xiao Yibai smiled slightly and explained: "The divine bird is the common belief of the Feiyuan alien race. Many alien cities will have the totem of the divine bird, but it is the first time I have seen the totem that is so big that it almost covers the entire city."
"This is the homeland of the Lingxu clan?" Yun Xiao's heart was mixed, and he could not combine this beautiful city with the demon-like faces in her memory. Xiao Yibai nodded calmly and continued, "The reason why aliens are easily captured by the army is because they like to gather together and live in seclusion without interfering with each other. As long as the road outside is blocked, they will be defeated sooner or later. Although the Lingxu clan is powerful, it has only lasted for seven years to defend an empty city. There are still many small races that cannot last for seven days."
However, her eyes were staring at the huge totem of the divine bird on the glacier without blinking, and there was an indescribable heartache, because when she fell to the sky, Sister Feng Ji had led a spark to lift Zheng Island and fall into the sea safely. Since then, this kind of hot and powerful breath of flames has been engraved in the hearts of countless alien races and has become a supreme belief. They trust her, love her, and place all their hopes on her. They will definitely look forward to her rescue piously at the moment when death is overwhelmed?
But no one knows that Feng Ji is a person who is on the verge of limits and cannot recover the fire and needs to rely on the magic sleeping technique for a long time to barely maintain his life.
Xiao Yibai seemed to see her thoughts and shook his head and smiled bitterly: "According to some records I found this time, more than half of them died in battle in seven years, and in the end, the Lingxu tribe who guarded the city was less than 5,000. Gao Chengchuan's troops had more than 50,000 troops, a ten-fold gap. It is indeed amazing. The biggest difference between alien races and humans is the demand for food. This place is located in the depths of the glacier forest, and there are dangerous monsters surrounding it, so that the logistics supply of the army often has problems. Humans must retreat as soon as they have no food, which also frees up time for the Lingxu tribe to breathe and repair. If Feng Ji can wake up from the divine sleep and give support, the result may be really different."
Yun Xiao was stunned at first, then whispered: "There are thousands of alien races on the flying wall, spreading everywhere in every corner. If everyone wants their sister to come to save them, how could she save them?"
Xiao Yibai looked at her meaningfully, and there seemed to be some luster in his eyes: "So no one has ever complained about her. She is still the most admired existence in the hearts of aliens."
Yun Xiao pulled out a warm smile, sighed vigorously, and suddenly said, "Before I was killed, he once asked me a question, and he said - Who do you think the eldest princess hates the most? Why do you think the eldest princess must kill Mrs. Yun?"
The two brothers paused at the same time, watching her slowly walking along the road alone, and said to themselves: "He said that the eldest princess hated people as your ungrateful and deceiving father, but that person was wandering and powerful, and she didn't even have the chance to seek revenge on him. But once the seeds of hatred were planted, it would be like a cancer taking root in her heart, so as long as she caught anyone related, she would take revenge at all. You and your mother were just victims of your father."
"You said no one ever blamed his sister?" Yun Xiao stopped and turned around, her cheeks were gentle and gentle tone. "Zhu Yan must hate her sister. Even if her sister had never hurt him, she didn't even know him. It was just because she didn't reach out to save him when he was most desperate, and she became the person Zhu Yan hated the most."
When the two of them said nothing, Yun Xiao immediately turned his eyes and looked up at the huge dazzling divine bird on the glacier. He couldn't help but raise his mouth slightly: "He told me that there is no love in this world for no reason, but there must be unreasonable hatred. He hates the longing for the fire deep in the bones and blood of the alien race, but he can't resist the instinct's awe of the fire. He wants to kill me and save me, and he is trapped in conflict until his death. I often wonder whether such a primitive instinct is good or bad. My sister does not need to be regarded as a god, nor should she be hated for it."
"So..." Xiao Yibai heard her words, and Yun Xiao's fingertips ignited a gorgeous flame, like a sharp arrow smashing the totem on the glacier, with a serious look. "This situation will happen because the aliens are naturally sensitive than humans, so the heat generated when the fire lifts up the island will be remembered by them. I want to eliminate this instinct and hope that only holding it in my own hands is the real hope. I must let all the aliens on Feiyuan learn to rely on themselves, and hope that from now on, my sister can live the life she wants."
The dead city seemed to be in a hustle and bustle. Xiao Yibai smiled with relief and looked at his younger brother who was also breathing a sigh of relief. He thought she was just a naive and stupid little girl, but he didn't expect that he would actually have a vague awareness of being the "emperor".
The three of them continued to go deep into the center of the city along the road and went to the end of the street together. The water-red Chaoyanhua was still growing in large areas as before, which immediately attracted Yun Xiao's eyes to trot over curiously. She reached out and touched the petals lightly, and shouted: "It's been five years, Chaoyanhua here is still there!"
"Chao Yan?" Xiao Yi held his chin and answered, "This kind of flower is very mysterious. It looks weak and can't help but bloom alone on the harsh snow fields. I have never known what it is called. Is it called Chao Yan?"
"No, no, no, this name was chosen by my mother, and I don't know its real name." Yun Xiao waved his hand repeatedly to deny it. Xiao Yibai nodded thoughtfully, suddenly his eyes sank, and immediately took out the drawing given by Aunt Hong from his arms and carefully identified it with Chao Yanhua. He shook his head and muttered in a low voice: "The shape is somewhat similar, but the color is much different. The coffin flower is black stem, single leaf, single branch, and the surface of the petals is blood-colored. There will be dark golden juice when cut. No, it is not like this."
Xiao Qianye finally spoke, as if he had noticed an abnormality, frowned and reminded: "Chaoyan rarely grows so large. It is rare to have a flower a hundred miles on the snowy field. According to records, it was already sixty years ago that the Lingxu clan was destroyed. This city is located in the depths of the glacier forest and is not on the patrol route of the military pavilion. I believe that no one will come in normally. It has no reason to be so clean and can make Chaoyan flower grow so vigorously."
Xiao Yibai thought about his words and raised his hand to point in another direction in the city: "Go to the place where the corpse is buried, and take a look."
"Buried the corpse?" Yun Xiao was shocked and felt a coldness suddenly climbing up from his back. Xiao Yibai nodded calmly and replied, "The imperial capital's policy on aliens is to kill genocide, and even slaves don't bother them to do it. Therefore, every time a foreign city is to kill everyone, the first thing they do is to execute everyone. The place where they live is very remote, and they basically deal with the corpses on the spot, and then transport all the valuable things out. Most of these things are still in the hands of the royal family, and some are rewarded to the ministers."
Yun Xiao subconsciously turned to Xiao Qianye, and for the first time he realized the blood and killing hidden behind the identity of the "Military Pavilion". In that moment, he seemed to feel her gaze. Xiao Qianye's eyes suddenly flickered, and her straight body suddenly trembled. Her eyes were even more embarrassing than all the accusations in this world, but he didn't say anything after all.
Xiao Yibai stopped the two of them, held one with one hand and walked forward, maintaining a delicate balance, and looked at Yun Xiao with a smile and explained: "It's not that I want to excuse him. In the years when he came back, except for the battle of the White Sect, he really never participated in the extermination mission of alien races again. It's not because of a high-sounding reason. The main reason is that the aliens hide farther and farther away, the army cannot enter at all. In addition, several races that are slightly threatening have all perished. There is no need to waste manpower and financial resources left. The biggest danger in recent years is actually the wandering monsters, but when the monsters see him, they are like seeing a ghost, barely stable."
Yun Xiao bit his lip, and countless thoughts surged in his mind. He asked in a scattered manner: "If there is a task, will you go and execute it?"
"Of course." Xiao Yibai responded without hesitation, with a puzzling smile on the corner of his lips, "Disaster punishment is a death sentence."
Yun Xiao's lips trembled slightly, but he couldn't say a word. Xiao Yibai gently touched her head and said clearly in an unwavering tone: "There will be no more such a task, I promise."
She tried hard to control her emotions until Xiao Qianye touched her head in the same way and repeated: "There will be no such task anymore. If there is one - I will disobey."
Yun Xiao nodded, closed his eyes and leaned against his chest, and took a deep breath: "Let's go, go to the corpse burying to see what's going on."
