Chapter 470: Eternal Night Forest!

Chapter 470: Eternal Night Forest!

A significant dividing line separates day and night. Just like the moon, half of Pluto is always night and the other half is always day.

Stepping into the night hemisphere, the visibility dropped rapidly. Xia Fei turned on the night vision system and quickly stretched out a pair of thin glasses to cover his eyes.

The last judge to arrive quickly accelerated his movement after entering the Evernight Forest, and the traces he left behind became increasingly difficult to discern.

"It's not an option to continue like this, the tracking speed is too slow." Xia Fei squatted down and looked at a shallow footprint and said. Next to it was the footprint left by some kind of large cat. The deeper he went into the Evernight Forest, the other animals were more interested in Xia Fei. The stronger the flying search interference, the more difficult it becomes to track.

"Then what should we do?" Sun Zhan asked doubtfully.

"Take a gamble."

"bet?"

"Yes, let's bet that their destination is the water pool at the core of the Evernight Forest. My speed is many times faster than theirs. If we have the same goal, we will definitely be able to catch up with them." Xia Fei analyzed calmly .

Speed ​​is Xia Fei's special ability. Although Xia Fei is also good at tracking, tracking the enemy will slow down the progress a lot. It has been seven days since the Nanming Guild was killed, and the enemy may achieve their goal and leave at any time. Here, time is of the essence and they must be found as soon as possible.

"Besides the pool, is there any other weird place in the Evernight Forest?"

Sun Zhan thought for a while, "Yes, there is, but the most bizarre thing is the water pool, which nourishes the growth of all things. This is extremely weird."

Xia Fei nodded, "Now I'm going to use my speed to get close to the water pool. If I don't come back within two hours, it means there's something strange happening near the water pool. You can move closer there along the familiar road, but you have to Remember, never act rashly, protect yourself and never act rashly.”

Sun Zhan nodded heavily, "I understand."

Holding the ball in his arms to avoid damage to it, Xia Fei quickly approached the core of the Evernight Forest with his feet flying under the guidance of the electronic compass.

The trees are getting denser and denser, with many even reaching a height of more than a kilometer, and their diameters are longer than the arms of dozens of people put together.

There are gradually more and more strange animals and plants, as well as rare medicinal materials.

However, Xia Fei did not stop picking. The medicine grows in the forest and will not escape. He had better deal with the intruders first.

The height of the weeds on the ground had long exceeded Xia Fei's height. It was very inconvenient to walk among them, and he couldn't observe the surrounding situation. Xia Fei kicked off the ground and jumped onto the branches, stepping on the branches from mid-air. , as agile as an ape.

The mountains ahead gradually got higher. Xia Fei climbed to the top of the mountain and looked down.

Surrounded by several mountains, I saw a pool with a diameter of more than eighty miles. The dark pool was bottomless, with towering trees and steep mountain walls on both sides. It was so precipitous! silence!

Crouching on a branch five hundred meters above the ground, Xia Fei glanced at the pool at the foot of the mountain.

"Powerful energy waves are coming from the pond. These plants should be growing on the energy-filled pond water." Ghost Shadow said.

Mao Qiu also felt the energy in the pool and drooled greedily. If Xia Fei hadn't stopped him, he would have rushed down the mountain and drank all the water in the pool.

"Someone is hiding here!"

Whoosh~

Xia Fei suddenly moved, and the Dragon Scale Hundred Cut turned into sharp blades in both hands. Xia Fei rushed toward a bush of grass like lightning!

The weeds as tall as a person were cut off by Xia Fei with two swords, one close to the ground and the other waist-high.

Like a cutting machine, the blades of grass fell down one after another, leaving only the roots and stems.

"No one? Impossible. I clearly felt that someone was hiding in the grass and spying on me." Xia Fei said to himself in surprise.

"Xiaozi, your speed is getting faster and faster, and you almost killed me, old man." An old voice sounded.

Xia Fei turned around and saw an old man sitting on a tree branch, holding a bowl of braised pork in his hand, and said to Xia Fei while eating.

"Mr. Yuchi!" Xia Fei's eyes flashed and he said in surprise.

…

There was a big tree on the top of the mountain. Xia Fei and Yuchi Dao sat side by side on the branch, observing the movement of the pool at the foot of the mountain through the dense leaves.

After finishing a bowl of braised meat, Yuchidao took out another pot from his space ring and put it directly into his mouth with an alloy spoon.

"Would you like some to try? The braised roux I made tastes very good." Yuchidao said with his mouth watering.

Xia Fei glanced at the greasy pieces of meat. Each piece weighed a pound, half fat and half thin, with a layer of skin attached to it. Not to mention the greasy taste when soaked in fat.

"You'd better eat it by yourself. This thing contains only fat and cholesterol. I can't enjoy it." Xia Fei shook his head quickly and said.

Yuchi Dao rolled his eyes at Xia Fei, "You don't know how to enjoy it. This is the flesh of a spotted wild boar. I killed it with my own hands in the forest yesterday."

No matter how unmoved Yuchidao was when he told Xia Fei that he was going to the big sky, Yuchidao felt bored, stuffed two pieces of feirou into his mouth, put away the pot, and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.

"It's been more than a year since I last saw you. How come you, old man, have wandered into Nanming Planet again? Did you drive that frigate of the Adjudicator's Union?" Xia Fei asked.

"Oh, here's the thing, Sun Guang, the current president of the Nanming Guild, is a junior of mine. His father gave me many fine fruits back then, and we are considered old acquaintances. Later, Sun Guang became the head of the sect, and he never stopped being filial. , it sounds like I owe the Nanming Guild a small favor."

"Although Nan Ming has always given me things over the years, he has never made any requests. Until a month ago, Sun Guang suddenly said that there might be trouble in the family and hoped that I would come to Nan Ming to stay for a few days. ”

"You have to be reasonable in your life. I have been filial to others for decades. Now, when people ask me to do something, of course I can't shirk it, so I set off for Nanming Star."

Xia Fei smiled slightly, "Then you were late and found that all the people from the Nanming Guild had been killed. When you got angry, you tracked the intruders all the way to this pool."

Yuchidao smiled happily, "Xiaozi, how did you know?"

Xia Fei smiled and said: "Because you are Yuchidao, isn't it your usual style to always be late?"

Yuchidao had a black hair and said with a sullen face: "Why do you sound more and more like that crazy dog ​​Qin Mang killed me back then? You are indeed Qin Mang's apprentice, and you speak in the same tone as him."

Xia Fei said: "First of all, I am really not Mr. Qin Mang's apprentice. Secondly, it is not me who caused your boss to be late."

"Hey!" Yuchidao hit his head hard, "Being late is really fatal. Isn't it just that I came a week late? As a result, Nanming was almost killed."

Xia Fei shrugged, "It's not almost, it's because the family has been wiped out."

"No!" Yuchidao said unconvinced: "Sun Guang, his wife and daughter are still alive and are being controlled by the strong men in the woods near the pond.

Xia Fei followed what Yuchidao expected, and there were indeed several figures moving in the forest in the distance. Due to the distance and the cover of dense trees, it was impossible to spot them without looking carefully.

"Speaking of Xia Fei, how did your little boy come to Nanming Star?" Yuchidao turned around and asked after explaining his affairs.

"Sun Guang's son Sun Zhan is a little brother of mine. He has been unable to contact his family these days and was very anxious, so I came back with him to have a look."

"Oh, Sun Guang's disobedient son is still alive. This is a blessing among misfortunes." Yu Chidao nodded and said to himself.

Xia Fei said: "Since you have discovered the location of the intruders, why don't you take action to rescue the Sun family's father and daughter?"

Yuchi Daojian smiled and said: "Don't worry, these guys are very cautious. There are secret sentries around the pool. It is not a problem for me to break in and kill them. But what if it affects the lives of Sun Guang and his family?" It’s not good. Hey, being a few days late has already caused the death of all the disciples of the Nanming Guild. If even Sun Guang is dead, how can I deal with his old man? "

"You came just in time. Let's wait until these guys are tired and rest. I will attract their attention, and you will use your superpower to quickly rescue the Sun family, and then kill these eight children in one pot." Yu Chidao waved his hand fiercely. Fist said.

"Eight people? Apart from you, I only found seven footprints." Xia Fei wondered.

"Oh, there is a guy who has lost his limbs and is being carried like a stick by his subordinates. His vocal power is very powerful. You should be careful when he acts."

Xia Fei suddenly realized that Sun Zhan once said that the senior brother of the Nanming Guild Union broke his hands and feet because he went deep into the pool with his master and became a cripple. He was then kicked out of the master's door.

Presumably the person Yu Chidao was talking about must be this senior brother. When he and Sun Guang explored the water pool together, they must have discovered some secret. How many years later, the senior brother gathered strength and returned to Nanming Star, trying to capture the water pool in one fell swoop. .

That's why the intruders knew the Nanming Guild so well, easily found the secret room, and were unmoved by the precious medicinal materials in the secret room. It turned out that their destination was not the medicinal materials, but the water pool!

In this way everything is reasonably explained.

Xia Fei analyzed his thoughts to Yuchi Dao, who nodded repeatedly after hearing it, "It makes sense. As a small guild organization in the alliance, Nanming Guild must be able to produce so many high-level medical materials." There is another secret, and after hearing what you said, I am quite looking forward to the secret hidden in the pool."

Xia Fei said: "You followed these intruders, have you seen any unusual behavior on their part?"

Yuchidao thought for a while, "These people seemed to be very nervous about the water pool. They kept wandering around the water pool but did not get close. Every few hours someone would throw something into the water pool, and so on. Apart from these, there was nothing else. what."

Xia Fei lowered his head and thought for a moment, "Mr. Yuchi, how about we sit back and wait to see what secrets are in this black pool. When these guys reveal the secrets, we can then rescue people."

"Do you want to use their hands to figure out the secret of the pool?"

"Exactly."

"No, no, if Sun Guang's family is kind to me, it's better to rescue the person first. If there is really any secret hidden in the pool, ask Sun Guang the same thing."

Xia Fei nodded, "Although this is far inferior to waiting and waiting, it is still a solid strategy. Let's take action now. With the power of you and me, it will only take a matter of minutes to take down these guys."

Yuchidao shook his head like a drum, "Old man, I just ate a big pot of braised pork belly, and I haven't digested it yet. You can observe here while I take a nap first to regain my energy for two hours." When we take action later, we must make sure that everything is safe for Sun Guang and his family.”

Yuchidao said solemnly, obviously he cared about the lives of Sun Guang's family and was unwilling to take any risks. Xia Fei had no choice but to nod in agreement and let Yuchidao regain his energy before taking action.

…

Time passes very quickly, as Yuchidao said, every few hours a black figure will approach the pool, drop a package-like object into the pool from a distance of seven or eight hundred meters, and then leave immediately, even after a while. I don’t want to stay by the pool for any longer.

It is always dark behind Nan Ping Star. Even with night vision equipment, it is impossible to know what the object thrown into the pool is.

In the blink of an eye, three hours later, a sudden change occurred!

White bubbles emerged from the pool, like a boiling hot spring!

But at this time, Yuchidao, who went to rest, has not come back yet!

Snapped!

Xia Fei slapped his forehead hard, "It's really stupid. Yuchi Dao is always late when he screams, and of course this time will be no exception!"

Frowning, Xia Fei used the breathing technique to hide his figure, and quickly approached the black water pool alone.
