Chapter 220 Something that Has Remained Unchanged for a Thousand Years
Things should be prioritized.
Yu Ke really wanted to know what secrets the Qingming Mask was hiding, but it was obvious that this matter would not produce results in a short time.
The meteor disaster was coming, and everything had to be put on hold.
The defense arrangements in the camp were carried out step by step.
Those who could be sent to reinforce at this time were all elites from the Special Service Department and the Patrol Team without exception, and Yu Ke, an outsider, did not need to worry about this aspect of work.
After explaining the situation to Ansai Li, Yu Ke took Feng Ling to the mountain that had appeared in the illusion.
Observing the surrounding environment along the way, the mountainous area was relatively calm at the moment.
The oppressive feeling of the coming storm affected not only humans.
Many ferocious beasts chose to return to their nests and hibernate, and did not come out to wander around again, trying to avoid the disaster in this way.
In just over half an hour, Yu Ke climbed a mountain nearly a thousand meters high.
Although the height had shrunk a lot after thousands of years of evolution, it was enough for Yu Ke to overlook the vast mountainous area.
Yu Ke believed that none of the warnings given by Zhongshan God were redundant, because that was the divine power that the latter had painstakingly preserved.
In other words, Zhongshan God should have had some considerations in choosing the location where he appeared in the illusion.
It took a lot of time to find the location of the peak.
Yu Ke leaped to the narrow and steep peak, and just as he stood firm, the oncoming wind blew his coat.
Frankly speaking, the scene in the illusion did not match what Yu Ke saw now.
With the passage of time and the environmental changes in the era of the Great Cataclysm, the mountainous area had long changed.
Yu Ke's eyes wandered among the surrounding mountains and forests, trying to figure out why Zhongshan God chose this place.
The result was not satisfactory.
No matter how Yu Ke tried to perceive, he did not find anything special except the nearby environment.
'Could it be that the timing is wrong, and we have to wait until the meteor shower comes? '
Recalling his experience in the illusion, Yu Ke frowned and guessed.
Since he was already here, turning back would be a waste of time. After a brief thought, Yu Ke decided to stay here temporarily. Anyway, there was a satellite phone. If something happened in the camp, Ansai Li could contact him at any time.
With the help of natural energy and vine seeds, he temporarily built a windproof tent on the top of the peak, and Yu Ke stayed on the top of the peak.
This might be difficult for ordinary people, but it was too easy for Yu Ke, who had the imprint space.
He spread out a special mat on the slightly sloping ground, placed a speaker and a lamp that could be hung on the top of the vine tent, and let the wind chime lie behind him as a temporary pillow.
Time passed while Yu Ke was playing with his mobile phone.
Every half an hour, he would get up and spread his perception as much as possible to explore the surrounding environment.
At 5:30 in the evening, there were more than four hours before the meteor shower arrived.
Yu Ke put away his mobile phone and power bank, stretched his waist, and walked out of the vine tent with some disappointment.
For the whole afternoon, he did not find anything unusual, but the sky became darker.
Thick gray clouds gathered in the sky, and shadows covered the mountains and forests. Night will fall soon.
‘Can we see a meteor shower in this weather? ’
His thoughts drifted unconsciously, and the phone he had just put in his pocket rang. It was a communication request from Ansai Li.
“There will be an internal meeting in the camp in half an hour. Do you want to come back to participate?”
There was not much time left before the meteor shower arrived. The atmosphere in the camp where the ruins were located gradually became solemn, but nothing happened in the surrounding area, which made most people in the camp feel depressed and confused.
The unknown is always the most worrying.
“I will stay outside for a while. There are some things that need to be confirmed. I will return before the meteor shower arrives.”
Yu Ke didn’t want to give up halfway after waiting until this time.
At this moment, the voice of Sen Ling sounded in his mind.
"The ground veins in the mountains are moving abnormally, and the energy is gathering towards the north of the ruins."
Not long ago, Yu Ke asked Sen Ling to set up a defense line outside the camp, and to pay attention to the status of the ground veins in the mountains.
Is it finally starting?
Standing on the top of the mountain again, Yu Ke took out the telescope to observe the direction indicated by Sen Ling.
Because he didn't know where the specific location was, he could only conduct a large-scale search. Just as he was concentrating on finding the place where the ground vein energy gathered, a special energy suddenly emerged under his feet and merged into his body.
Yu Ke's body trembled slightly, and he felt his eyes were hot, and a sense of déjà vu came to his mind.
In an instant, the scene in front of him gradually became illusory, and then there were double images. As time went by, Yu Ke was shocked to find that these illusions were clearly the scenes in the mountains that he had seen in the illusion, and he didn't know how many years ago!
There is no doubt that this is the backhand of Zhongshan God.
Yu Ke's guess was correct. The position where he was did have some of the power of Zhongshan God, and only he, who had personally experienced the warning illusion, could trigger it.
Two mountainous areas located at different time points, guided by some kind of power, overlapped in Yu Ke's eyes at this moment!
What did Zhongshan God want to express by this?
The mountains, rivers, and vegetation overlapped, and the difference caused by thousands of years of vicissitudes was visible to the naked eye. Yu Ke calmed his mind and quickly realized that this was a hint from Zhongshan God.
Even if the environment in the mountainous areas changes all the time, there are always some things that will not change after thousands of years!
Pushing his own perception to the extreme, Yu Ke compared the mountainous areas at two time points with his super eyesight.
Until a certain moment, his sight suddenly froze.
It was a giant banyan tree growing on the top of the hill. At first glance, it was ordinary, just a little bigger. The era of the Great Cataclysm was not short of such giant trees.
What really concerned Yu Ke was that no matter whether it was the illusion created by the Zhongshan God or the real scene, after thousands of years, only the giant banyan tree and the hill where it grew had not changed at all!
There was only one explanation for such a counterintuitive scene.
The Zhongshan God protected that area!
Without any hesitation, Yu Ke turned around and began to pack up, ready to rush over to check before the meteor shower arrived.
His intuition told him that the hidden things were definitely not ordinary things.
However, at the same time that Yu Ke was about to take action, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred in the northeast of the mountainous area.
Yu Ke, who had just disbanded the vine tent, only saw gray-white fog billowing between the mountains in the distance. At first, it was just a few smoke columns, and then the scale grew rapidly, turning into a giant fog wave similar to a "tsunami", spreading to other areas at an alarming speed.
Yu Ke had seen this scene in the video sent by An Sai Li some time ago. It was clearly a replay of the fog incident!
The fog incident not long ago did not cause too many casualties, only the mountains and land veins were in chaos.
Now that the meteor disaster is coming, the thick fog reappears. It is obviously not a coincidence, and it will undoubtedly greatly disrupt the camp defense plan.
You must know that the range covered by the thick fog is extremely large, and it will also affect the airspace, which means that the fighter formation originally deployed at the air force base and the artillery positions set up outside will lose their targets under the influence of the thick fog.
The phone rang. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be that the camp noticed the appearance of the thick fog, so it contacted Yu Ke urgently.
Yu Ke, who was planning to go to the giant banyan tree, was immediately in a dilemma.
With his strength, it would not take too much time to rush to the banyan tree suggested by Zhongshan God. The problem is that the speed of the thick fog is also far beyond expectations. If he goes to the location of the banyan tree, the road back to the camp is likely to be covered by the thick fog.
That would be fine, but the trouble is that the sudden thick fog aroused Yu Ke's vigilance.
The illusion created by Zhongshan God was finally interrupted by the thick fog and the sound of insects. The actions of the Soul Devouring Insect in the Mirror Lake Forest made people suspect that it was forming a swarm of insects completely transformed from fierce beasts.
From here to the giant banyan tree and then back to the camp, it takes at least more than an hour due to the thick fog, not to mention the time he stayed there. If the camp was attacked during this process, the consequences would be disastrous.
Fang Xuanhe was responsible for the safety of the beast tide seal, and Yu Ke promised the former to guard the camp from outside attacks.
After a brief thought, Yu Ke finally looked at the hill where the giant banyan tree was located, wrote down its specific location, and immediately turned around and rushed to the camp. At the same time, he made a phone call and asked Ansai Li and others to make corresponding defense preparations immediately.
The giant banyan tree and the hill where it took root have not changed for so many years, so it doesn't matter if it takes a while.
If the beast tide seal is damaged, it will be impossible to repair it without the bronze tripod.
On the way back, Yu Ke was still thinking about his discovery, and felt that the timing of the fog outbreak was too strange.
It didn't appear earlier or later, but just when the mountains and earth veins moved abnormally, the Zhongshan God's divine power was activated and suddenly broke out, forcing him to return to the camp and participate in the defense of the ruins.
'I'll go and check as soon as the fog dissipates. '
The camp was not far ahead, and Yu Ke looked back in the direction he came from. It had been less than ten minutes, and the peak where he had stayed before was already shrouded in fog, showing only a vague outline.
He rushed all the way into the camp, and the response was being carried out intensively.
Fortunately, the fog incident had just occurred not long ago, and the camp was not without preparation in the past few days.
Yu Ke immediately found Ansai Li, who was leading his team to meet the patrol team that had just returned from the periphery.
"The situation is not optimistic. The fog has appeared too strangely. I am afraid it will not dissipate by itself as before."
After taking the headset from Ansai Li and putting it on, Yu Ke entered the command channel of the camp and said directly,
"Turn on the biological detectors, and be sure to pay attention to the beasts that may approach in the surrounding area. All departments should be prepared for battle."
Yu Ke temporarily replaced Fang Xuanhe in the camp. He is the backbone of this camp.
The important thing is not how detailed the arrangement he can make, but to let the team members in the camp know that he is here!
As various instructions are transmitted to various departments in the camp through the command channel.
Yu Ke came to the sentry tower set up in the center of the camp to check the operation of each place.
