When he asked this, Grizzly Bear's voice was calm and his eyes were clear.
Now, Grizzly Bear, from his actions to his temperament, carried a kind of 'I am a great philanthropist' composure.
"Mission? Go investigate that damned Fortress 76 again, find out the cause of Huorong's death, and join the other teams."
Aunt Dragonfly said nonchalantly:
"A bunch of old bastards clearly want us to die, trying to suppress the power of our Natural faction."
Grizzly Bear pondered for a moment: "Then we…"
"Just go through the motions, hang around for a few days and come back, don't worry."
Aunt Dragonfly stretched lazily and walked to the dining table, leaned back in her chair, lit a cigarette for herself, and incidentally used the smoke to envelop the two of them, to prevent the monitoring equipment from hearing what they were talking about.
"Send the few boxes of hair and branches collected by Beta over there quietly later."
Grizzly Bear thought carefully and whispered: "Captain, there is something I want to talk to you about."
"You can say anything now."
"If our intelligence is correct, Jia Le Ji, Xiao Ji, and Jiajia Ding, these three A-level spirit users have all escaped the control of Spirit Power City, and the self-destruct chip in their brains has been successfully removed."
Grizzly Bear said solemnly:
"This is our chance to abandon the dark and turn to the light, so that we can better save humanity."
"Are you stupid?"
"No, Captain."
"If you're not stupid, then why are you saying such stupid things?"
Aunt Dragonfly rolled her eyes and scolded:
"What is our profession? Intelligence gathering.
"You don't have any family in Spirit Power City, but I do, and I also have a group of teachers. I can slack off, but I can't betray, otherwise it will give the ruling faction and the Spirit Control Council an excuse to attack my faction.
"Moreover, although the control of my self-destruct chip is in the hands of the Spirit Control Council, my superiors don't dare to press it, because someone behind me will directly retaliate against him.
"Buddy, the struggle is not as simple as you think. There are intertwined eddies under the calm sea. What you see is just the balanced situation formed after the cross-game of various forces… With your brain, you still want to save people from suffering? Save yourself first!"
Aunt Dragonfly finished a bottle of yogurt directly, rolled her eyes, and walked back to her own rest pod.
Grizzly Bear smiled wryly and put the yogurt bottle into the trash can aside.
Sizzle!
The rest pod was pulled open by Aunt Dragonfly.
She leaned against the door and stared at Grizzly Bear: "Come here and let this captain have a secret rendezvous with you?"
"No, thanks," Grizzly Bear showed a slightly forced smile, "You can consider another male in the team, I am trying to control my desires."
"Beta is still a child, you are really boring."
Bang.
The door of the rest pod was closed, and Aunt Dragonfly lay listlessly on the hammock.
…
Late at night.
Fortress 76 seemed to have quickly recovered from the last impact.
The newly built military camp on the surface was surrounded by several meters high concrete walls, and a large number of automatically triggered weapons and shields were newly added everywhere. The autonomous mechanical guards patrolling back and forth held various heavy weapons. This was a situation rarely seen in other fortresses.
On the seventh floor of the fortress, in Wang Jixuan's dormitory.
Master Wang, who had been tired for a day, lay on the bed and pressed the button on the communicator. The short chats on the small square screen of the communicator were all about the changes and applications of the Seven Stars Sword Formation.
Ling Tong's comprehension was very high, which Wang Jixuan hadn't expected before.
To be precise, these semi-human mechs all had good comprehension, and their will was firm and their beliefs were clear.
Wang Jixuan admired this kind of talent very much.
Peony, who had finished her simple housework, was kneeling quietly in the corner, pretending to charge herself.
She liked this subtle sense of stealing.
"Peony, where did you put the first batch of samples sent this afternoon?"
"Here, sir!"
Peony jumped up lightly, her bionic feet, wearing only stockings, stepped on the wooden floor, making a series of brisk thumping sounds, and ran to the corner to pull out an insulated box with a combination lock.
Inside were more than twenty plastic boxes, placed in different categories, storing the 'old plants' samples collected according to Wang Jixuan's requirements.
Nowadays, Blade Beasts occupy most of the land, and the constant wars have made the human camp's defense line very unstable. The vegetation in the remaining human territory has also become relatively scarce due to the war. Finding those plants that have lived for a long time is indeed not easy.
Wang Jixuan turned on the desk lamp and checked them one by one, and his expression quickly became lively.
Most of them contain spiritual power!
Although the spiritual power is very weak.
Wang Jixuan kept recalling the alchemic books he had read.
He was not good at alchemy. In his previous life, he preferred refining weapons. The sect had an almost inexhaustible supply of elixirs, and familiar elders would often give him elixirs as gifts.
Now…
Alas, let's rely on ourselves.
Elixirs are good things.
Restoring mana, healing diseases and injuries, strengthening bones and cultivating vitality, regulating and increasing qi, improving cultivation… These are all common types of elixirs.
There are spiritual elixirs that can enlighten the dull;
There are wonderful elixirs that can regenerate severed limbs;
There are immortal elixirs that can increase the aptitude of cultivators;
There are poisonous elixirs that can destroy the lives of a city.
Alchemy is an unavoidable path for cultivators to practice. Among the top ten sects in the cultivation world, almost every family has its own specialized type of elixir, and then exchanges and sells them to small sects or a large number of loose cultivators in the market towns, in order to earn spirit stones for the sect.
What Wang Jixuan wants to refine most now is definitely the immortal elixir that can improve the aptitude of this Taoist body.
It's a pity that it's a luxury to get thousand-year-old spiritual herbs here, let alone the three-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs needed for various immortal elixirs.
'Don't be too ambitious.'
'The current priority should be to be more pragmatic. After entering the Returning Void Realm, try to refine some Rejuvenation Pills and Spirit Enhancement Pills. Well, and get some ordinary Bone Strengthening Pills for Xiao Zhou and Xiao Zheng. Xiao Zheng can't go on like this either.'
'Should I get some poisonous pills? If Xing Dian doesn't die, it will eventually be a disaster.'
Daoist Wang thought carefully, and had already separated eight kinds of usable specimens, and asked Peony to take photos and send them to Dongfang Zhenghong, and then get him some branches and leaves.
In this way, as long as he meets the Treant Beta again later, he can graft these branches and leaves onto the top of Beta's head.
It can probably produce spiritual herbs of fifty to one hundred years old!
Wang Jixuan found white paper and drew several types of common spiritual herbs and medicinal materials, and also sent them to Dongfang Zhenghong.
"Sir, they have all been sent!"
Peony reminded from the side:
"You still have to prepare for tomorrow's class."
Wang Jixuan smiled sheepishly: "No need to prepare for class, I've said everything I can say about cultural classes. Starting tomorrow morning, I will start to improve the spirit power group."
He yawned, walked back to the bed and sat cross-legged. As a mouthful of turbid air slowly exhaled, the breath in his body circulated throughout the body.
The recovery speed of the injury was much faster than he expected.
The eight spirit power users in the Buddhist hall squad recite several Buddhist scriptures every day, and Wang Jixuan slightly rubs against the Dharma from the side, and most of the demonic energy in his body is purified.
He is now mainly suffering from damaged meridians. Once the meridians are restored, he will naturally step into the Returning Void Realm.
The Returning Void Realm is also known as the Dao Fusion Realm. The sign of perfection in this realm is that the Qi Sea fills the whole body, the meridians 'disappear', and the breath no longer needs to circulate in a fixed route, and the trajectory of the sky can be changed at will.
Wang Jixuan's lips蠕动: "You should rest early too."
"Okay."
Peony obediently walked to the corner and knelt down, took off her headband, took off the bellyband in front of the maid outfit, let her dark golden long hair spread out by itself, and the delicate little face lost its expression.
'It's another day for Peony to accompany the commander to practice alone.'
Peony thought so.
At three o'clock in the morning, Peony suddenly opened her eyes, and purple light flashed in her pupil rings.
"Sir, Captain Dragonfly has an urgent message."
…
The Spirit Control Council sent four investigation teams, including Aunt Dragonfly's team, to investigate near Fortress 76?
Wang Jixuan was a little suspicious when he got this news.
Is the Spirit Control Council doing it on purpose, or is it an accident?
Aunt Dragonfly frequently comes to Fortress 76, and she is still a member of the Natural faction. Is the Spirit Control Council not afraid of Aunt Dragonfly's betrayal?
Wang Jixuan reasonably suspected that this investigation was not only aimed at Fortress 76, but also possibly aimed at Mai Qingting.
Half an hour after receiving the news;
Wang Jixuan put on the classic black storm suit and arrived at the corner of the surface military camp.
As Aunt Dragonfly instructed, he stood leaning against a metal wall.
After waiting for no more than half a minute, a yawning male soldier walked to the other side of the metal wall, skillfully pulled open his pants zipper, and began to solve personal affairs.
Wang Jixuan frowned and pursed his lips.
The newest and most complete novels are all on 69shuba!
His spiritual consciousness has been extending, of course he knows that this soldier has now been 'parasitized' by Aunt Dragonfly's ability, and solving personal affairs here is also a very good way to disguise, but…
The public toilet is only three or five meters away!
It's really indecent!
The 'soldier' began to say the secret code: "Who is the most beautiful in the northwest frontier?"
Wang Jixuan looked up at the sky: "The romantic is still looking at Sister Mai."
"Very punctual," the 'soldier' muttered in a low voice, "I have some trouble here, and I'm afraid I'll need you to cooperate in acting later."
"Acting? Do you need me to hunt you down?"
"Very smart, just help me clear my suspicion."
Aunt Dragonfly muttered:
"Kill one of the other three investigation teams and scare the others away. The highest level here is only A. For you who can kill S, it shouldn't be a problem."
"Okay, give me the location, I'll just arrange for my students to have a practical combat class."
Wang Jixuan crossed his arms:
"What are the current trends of the Spirit Control Council?"
"They are a bit chaotic."
Aunt Dragonfly gave a brief introduction:
"Mo Feng was killed, they began to be angry.
"Xing Dian was seriously injured and Huo Rong was killed, they began to be afraid.
“The scene of you obliterating Huo Rong has spread. Don't worry, it's just a video taken from high altitude. After image restoration, you can barely be seen as a blurry mosaic figure smashing Huo Rong in his Flame Envoy form.
“The City of Psionics has already listed Black Storm as a mysterious S-class esper. Consequently, they have also developed a fear of the D5 war zone.
“They are now frantically investigating the data from the D5 psionic experiments, wanting to determine if D5 has already mass-produced S-class or A-class espers.
“But they have gained nothing, even suspecting that D5 hasn't conducted any psionic experiments at all.
“Those old men are gradually recalling the fear that Fu Jian brought them fifty years ago, leading the elite semi-mecha forces of the then six major war zones.”
Wang Jixuan lightly clicked his tongue.
Espers really are a rabble.
But they can't be underestimated.
The current espers can only be considered 'uncut jade'. Once the Spirit Cultivators make a move and these espers awaken on a large scale, their combat power will be fully released.
“Is there any news of Spirit Cultivators?”
“No,” Aunt Dragonfly immediately became alert, “Aren't you one?”
“You can consider me one, but I am human.”
Wang Jixuan explained simply:
“Huo Rong was inspired by a Spirit Cultivator. Spirit Cultivators can allow espers to obtain methods to utilize more than one hundred percent of their own psionic power. Your Natural Faction should also prepare early.”
Aunt Dragonfly pondered carefully.
Wang Jixuan waited patiently.
Judging from Aunt Dragonfly's reaction, the Natural Faction should have some top-secret information about Spirit Cultivators.
Soon, after careful consideration, Aunt Dragonfly chose a path more conducive to cooperation between the two parties.
She quickly said through the soldier's mouth:
“There is a huge ruin beneath the City of Psionics. Our Natural Faction doesn't know the specific form of this ruin at all. It's located under the church where the Six Elders are.
“The only thing that can be determined is that the psionic infusion technology and the path for A-class espers to advance all come from this ruin.
“In addition, the Six Elders gave Xing Dian an S-class near-death esper material. Xing Dian is now severely injured. After his injuries recover, he may recklessly attempt to break through to SS-class.
“We speculate that there are also some things under Xing Dian's Snow Mountain base, but our people can't enter at all.”
Wang Jixuan took the initiative to exchange information: “I saw things related to Spirit Cultivators in Ji Xiao's memories. I also collected Huo Rong's soul fragments, thereby confirming the connection between the Six Elders and Spirit Cultivators. There are some mechanisms in the Blade Beasts that have evolved unnaturally, which can correspond to the Spirit Cultivator civilization.”
“Wait.”
Aunt Dragonfly was obviously a little surprised:
“You mean, the Blade Beasts are also part of the Spirit Cultivator civilization?
“Could this be some kind of conspiracy?
“The Spirit Cultivators first send Blade Beasts to attack our planet, killing most of the humans and creating despair and panic. Then they awaken from the ruins and deify themselves as the saviors of mankind, making humans offer them their faith?
“Oh my god, what a stupid advanced civilization.”
Wang Jixuan: … …
Aunt Dragonfly's speculation sounded surprisingly real.
“We still have too little information about the Spirit Cultivator civilization. Let's continue investigating.”
Wang Jixuan smiled and began to put pressure on Aunt Dragonfly:
“Since Spirit Cultivators can activate espers' abilities, there is a high probability that large-scale activation events will occur later. Your Natural Faction should prepare early.
“The Ruling Faction is more like an appendage of the Spirit Cultivators.
“This kind of improvement is extremely huge. One Huo Rong can kill three Mo Fengs… At that time, the Ruling Faction will most likely purge the Natural Faction.”
Aunt Dragonfly chuckled: “I heard a threatening tone in your words. This is not a cooperative attitude.”
This little dragonfly is really hard to fool…
Wang Jixuan changed the subject, revealing his true intention:
“I'll help you solve the current trouble first. Give me the news tomorrow and I'll arrange the sneak attack. By the way, leave the Tree of Goodness behind this time. I need his help here.”
“Can you remove our self-destruct chip?”
“Of course, I removed all three from Ji Xiao and the others.”
“Then capture Sha Man as well. She's relatively naive and has already been targeted by several old perverts who specialize in unspoken rules with young and beautiful espers.”
Aunt Dragonfly instructed worriedly:
“Be sure to injure me, preferably to the point of being half-dead.
“Unbelievable, since I became beautiful, someone has actually asked me out. Later, taking advantage of the recuperation, I must find a strong boyfriend. Hmm… this little guy is also quite cute.”
The 'soldier' twitched a few times, zipped up his pants, and a wisp of psionic power quietly slipped away from his body. The soldier also entered a sleepwalking state, returning to his tent in a daze.
Wang Jixuan covered the helmet visor with both hands.
He sometimes really…
He finds it difficult to have any resonance with these guys in terms of etiquette!
Wang Jixuan was about to go back to continue meditating when he suddenly stopped, frowning and looking in the direction where the psionic fluctuation had just left.
The trouble on Aunt Dragonfly's side is probably not as simple as she said.
The Daoist's spiritual sense had just discovered Aunt Dragonfly's team's exclusive vehicle 1,600 meters away.
But there are not only four auras inside this stealth aircraft. Two auras are hidden in the belly of the cabin, in very secret locations.
