"You can take these things first, as some compensation for you."
Zhang Xiaoman said as he took out ten pieces of stardust from the storage space, suspended it in the air, and floated it in front of Augu.
"I know that just ten pieces of stardust is not enough to offset your loss, but in the future you will also be a part of our Star Alliance. After joining the organization, I will arrange some other benefits and resources for you to use. you do not need to worry."
Looking at the ten small transparent bottles floating in front of him, Ogu's heart was beating fast. He stared straight at the crystal light in them and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"This, this... I'm afraid this is not good... You, your gift is too expensive... I, I can't accept it..."
He turned his head reluctantly, trying hard not to look at the ten small bottles. He was saying words of refusal, but the center seemed to be dripping with blood.
"I... I am the last member of the Thunder Clan... I cannot violate my honor... The destiny of the Thunder Furnace is to be in charge of forging. Now that I can repair such an artifact, I have taken a huge advantage... So what? Can I accept your gift..."
As Ogu said, he couldn't help but close his eyes. He could feel his hands shaking slightly, and he had the urge to hold those stardust in his palms.
Zhang Xiaoman felt a little funny when he saw his appearance. It seemed that the cultural differences between the two sides were still very big.
"Okay, since I've given it to you, there's no reason to take it back. Just take it."
As soon as he thought, the ten small bottles flew into Ogu's palm one after another.
"Now that the palace on Thunder Peak has been destroyed by lightning, you will come back to the Star Alliance with me later and settle down there in the future."
Zhang Xiaoman did not give the other party a chance to refuse again, turned around and said a few words to Ye Yunxiu, and then disappeared out of thin air.
Looking at where he was just now, and then at the grateful Thunder Giant Ogu, Ye Yunxiu was deeply impressed by his boss's methods, and couldn't help but show a look of admiration on his face.
…
Five days later, in Honeysuckle City.
Since that incident happened a few days ago, the surrounding cities where Thunder Peak is located have received a large number of tourists these days, especially the nearest Honeysuckle City.
The power of netizens is very powerful. Even though the sky was covered with thunderclouds at the time, the appearance of the final sword shadow that covered the sky allowed them to accurately find the location of the center of the incident.
Moreover, no one is blind to the thousands-meter-high mountain that appeared out of thin air. Many people can even see that small mountain range in the distance as soon as they open the door of their home, and it is difficult not to notice it.
What surprised everyone most was that the official attitude this time was not as expected by many people. They found a bunch of experts to deny it through various methods.
Instead, there are only four simple words: under investigation.
At this moment, everyone became excited, especially those lovers of extraordinary powers. Like sharks smelling blood, they swarmed to the Honeysuckle Market to welcome the hotel industry here. Here comes the heaviest load operation ever.
Everyone has only one purpose, and that is the sudden appearance of the mountain on the outskirts of Honeysuckle City.
Since the core of Thunder has been absorbed by the Zixiao Divine Sword, the magnetic field that can paralyze electronic equipment has been lost around Thunder Mountain. This has caused countless people to rush in, and it has also attracted many people from outside the world. Eye.
These eyes are naturally satellites suspended in space. Most of them belong to the US aerospace department, but some of them belong to other countries.
However, no matter which party they were on, they were all dumbfounded at this moment.
They were surprised to find that the satellite they deployed could not see the mountain peak at all, and the entire affected area was blank in their eyes.
The one who can do this is naturally the black technological power of the Star Alliance.
It's not even just Thunder Mountain. If they want, they can even directly block the entire Chinese land from these people's observation.
Of course, the Covenant did not do this.
It's okay to block a Thunder Mountain, but if the entire China is blocked, it will inevitably have an impact on the entire international situation.
The reason is very simple.
Originally, everyone's satellites could see the entire Aqua Blue Star.
But suddenly one day I can't see you anymore, only you can see me.
Then, the invisible party will be very nervous.
Exchanges between countries are very complex and are not as simple as between two people or organizations. There are many things that need to be considered.
This is a kind of balance, and the Covenant will not interfere easily. This is also the meaning of the Department of Abnormality.
However, since it cannot be seen from the sky, it can be seen from the ground.
During this period, in addition to tourists from all over China, many friends from all over the world have visited here.
How many of them are real tourists and how many of them have other purposes? The Department of Irregularity has already made a good idea of them.
After all, the deployment has been started in advance, and with the help of the black technology provided by the Star Alliance, it is still very easy to identify these people.
At this moment, most of the tourists are staying in hotels in the Nancheng District of Honeysuckle City, which is the closest to the mountain peak. I heard that when the mountain peak first appeared, a lot of fog-like things spread here, causing The power system in a small area was paralyzed.
On the Internet, some netizens who claimed to have personally experienced the fog said that they saw all kinds of strange monsters in the fog, as well as practitioners wearing strange clothes and able to fly with swords.
At first, no one wanted to believe these remarks. However, after the Thunder incident that followed, their statements began to be accepted by people. In the end, when the shadow of the sword covering the sky was revealed to the world, these people's opinions about "cultivating immortals" The hypothesis of "their" is even more popular.
In the past five days, all the hot searches on the Internet have been about what happened in Honeysuckle Market. The celebrity gossip that always dominated the headlines has been suppressed by the overwhelming extraordinary topics.
Of course, such a situation is naturally possible with the tacit approval of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Their intelligence department is also working overtime to guide and monitor topics on the Internet to prevent people with ulterior motives from deliberately spreading them. panic.
…
At this moment, in a hotel located in the Nancheng District of Honeysuckle City, three young people were gathering in the room on the top floor, each busy with something.
They are students who come from surrounding cities to explore. They usually have a common interest in extraordinary topics. They have always discussed it in group chats on the Internet. This time after the Thunder Release incident, they discussed it. First The time has come to gather here.
The weather was very good today. A few people could see the looming mountains in the distance directly through the windows without going out. Everyone knew that it was the magical fairy mountain that was rumored on the Internet.
According to several people's interviews over the past two days, they found that the surrounding residents had indeed never seen that mountain peak. This mountain appeared overnight just like what was said on the Internet.
At this time, a boy wearing a thick down jacket was sitting by the window, holding a telescope in his hand, trying to see the mountain in the distance more clearly through it.
"Old Liu, are you still looking here? I've told you, with the guy in your hand, you can't see anything at all."
A companion came over, patted him on the shoulder and said:
"Besides, look at the mountains over there, they are all blocked by clouds. Even if we use professional equipment, it may not have any effect. You'd better save some effort."
The man said with a disappointed expression, obviously he also wanted to know what happened there.
The boy named Liu sighed, put down the telescope in his hand, and said:
"Cheng Youquan, why do you think we came all the way here? We can't just look at the mountains from a distance of dozens of kilometers... Hey, I really waited for nothing..."
"Then what can you do? Originally, I thought I could climb the mountain to have a look. Maybe I could actually find some place like the Immortal Cave... But now, the government has closed all the places to go. On the road over there, I heard people said they saw tanks at the intersection! Tell me what we can do, I'm afraid even if the Hulk comes, we won't be able to get through."
The boy named Cheng Youquan said and sat back on the bed again, turned his eyes to the remaining young man in the room, and asked:
"I said Lao Wang, you have been playing on the computer here since you came here. What is so fun? We are here to explore. What's the point of playing on the computer here?"
Beside the computer, the boy wearing glasses did not react at all, still staring at the computer screen intently.
"Hey, kid, what are you doing? I want to see what game is so fun and makes you want to stop playing."
Cheng Youquan was about to get up and walk over, but was suddenly startled by the movement of the boy named Wang.
"Aha! It's done!"
He slapped the table hard, then stood up suddenly, looked at the two companions in the room, and said with a happy face:
"Brothers, I succeeded, we can go to Fairy Mountain right away!"
When the two people heard this, they were a little unresponsive.
"Wha, what do you mean...?"
The boy named Wang patted his thigh and said:
"Oh, we are going to Fairy Mountain! Isn't that why we came here this time?"
Cheng Youquan looked at him as if he were a fool and said:
"Wang Zinan, are you stupid? All the roads leading there are blocked. How do you get there? Do you have to fly over?"
Old Liu by the window also said:
"That's right, and it's not me attacking you. Even if you can fly, I'm afraid the radar over there will spot you as soon as you say nothing. Then you still won't be able to get through."
Wang Zinan did not take his friend's teasing to heart at all, but said with a confident look:
"Okay, okay, you two melons, you can imagine all these things, how could I not know about it? I'm not talking about you. You come here and spend the whole day standing next to the window and looking out. , what kind of tricks can you see if you just do it like this?"
As he spoke, he turned the computer screen and pointed it at the two of them. It was full of dense lines of chat records.
The two of them couldn't see clearly what was in the record even from a distance. They only heard Wang Zinan say:
"There are always more solutions than difficulties, and sometimes you need to use your brain. You see, as soon as I came here, I found many tourists like us through the records of surrounding hotels. I have observed that many people are like us these days. They have been heading towards the fairy mountain one after another, what do you think they are going to do?"
"For what?"
The two asked in unison.
Wang Zinan looked defeated and said:
"I'm really impressed by you. Of course they can't go on an outing. Of course they're going to explore the Fairy Mountain!"
"I asked about it and it turns out that there are a group of private car owners near here who have been driving people in our area recently. Because it is very unsafe online, they basically use offline meetings and conversations to drive us through nearby rural areas or It’s better to walk on the hillside and avoid the closed intersections.”
Cheng Youquan asked incredulously:
"Old, Old Wang, what do you mean, let's take a black car to get there? Walk through the wild? Are you sure this is okay...?"
Old Liu on the side also added:
"Yes, I read the recent notice issued by the government, which prohibits us from entering that area privately. It is said that it is still in an unknown area affected by the impact. It is very dangerous and has many large beasts..."
Seeing this, Wang Zinan pretended to hate iron and said:
"I'm talking about you, really...now that we are all here, how can we expect you to be afraid of wolves before and after tigers? Do you think Fairy Mountain is so easy to find?"
"Besides, what do we have to be afraid of when we are three grown men together? Haven't you seen that many expedition teams are composed of girls? They are not afraid of girls, so what are you afraid of?"
"The government? I only half believe what the government says. Isn't it to prevent others from passing by? After all, in such a big place, the most they can do is block the intersection. How can they block this intersection? How about guarding the entire surrounding area of hundreds of kilometers?"
"So, I have contacted the driver now, and we will meet and discuss the specific matters later. Then he will take us from the trail and go directly to the mountain peak over there, so that we can explore the Fairy Mountain up close. It’s a secret!”
He said, with a look of excitement on his face, and the thick lenses reflected light under the sunlight, making the two friends stunned.
"How about it, brothers, it's just a matter of one sentence, do you want to go or not?"
Wang Zinan asked again.
The other two people in the room looked at each other, thought for a moment, and then gritted their teeth and said:
"go!"
