Chapter 1075: The Journey Across the Turbulent Road

The very next day after the synthetic drug was delivered, Chen Chuan also received the map of the ancient road of the Throat of the Stars sent by Captain Xie.

The carrier of this picture is some unknown tree bark, which has good toughness and ductility. When unfolded, it is about one meter long.

In addition to the ancient roads depicted with fine lines, the patterns also feature strange creatures painted in various places, surrounded by the gods of the primitive people. The style and color of the patterns are unique, with a blend of the grotesque and the sacred, and a primitive and simple flavor.

He looked at it for a long time and felt that in addition to the ancient road itself, there might be more information hidden in it that he couldn't see at the moment. Even if this was put aside, this thing itself could be considered a work of art.

According to what Captain Xie said before, this thing originally belonged to the collection of a noble in Kavatua.

Kawatua is only one continent away from here, so a round trip of ten days is enough. However, it is not easy to get the things and bring them back while avoiding numerous secret surveillance.

He guessed that it was probably members of the covert department who took action, and perhaps some secret lines that had never been used before were mobilized.

He took a look and saw the notes given to him by Captain Xie next to it. This was a text comparing the map with the one-eyed elder's memory.

At present, they are basically consistent and more detailed. It is normal that some places are different. After all, so many years have passed, it is impossible that there are no changes.

Captain Xie suggested that he continue along this path, as he suspected that this was probably also part of the ritual.

Chen Chuan agreed with this view. The ancient rituals had existed for thousands of years, so they must have their own unique features. If they themselves could not fully understand it, they should try to respect the past, which could save a lot of trouble.

Now that he has everything, he can set off after some preparation.

In other words, the secret department has confirmed that there are no problems with the fighters, so he can leave with peace of mind.

In fact, from the very beginning, the possibility of the three people was not high. Wang Tongshan and Bian Zhijie both had good backgrounds and were fighters themselves. Unless there was a problem with the oath, there was no need to do such a thing. What the Federation could give them, couldn't Dashun give them?

Gui Zihan was from a local background and had no idea about any important information, nor did he have the channels to do so.

However, he knew that the news this time could not be concealed, and ten days was enough time for some people in the Federation to prepare. This time, who knows, someone might follow or intercept them.

The Federation was aware of some of the information he had revealed, and would definitely send capable personnel this time, so he would not underestimate the possible enemies. At the same time, he was also looking forward to these opponents. After killing Su Kuo, he had not fought with anyone for a while.

The combat effectiveness of people at the Changshengguan realm can always be maintained at the peak, and their condition can be guaranteed not to decline. However, it will still be of positive significance to them if they can fight with people at the same level.

After another day of preparation, he met with Captain Xie and discussed some things, and then he set off there that afternoon.

The Throat of the Stars is located in Atahoka State in the south-central part of the Federation. It can be said to be one of the intersections connecting the East and the West.

As a member of the visiting delegation, there must be a reason for going there. The report submitted to the federal government this time is to review the assets of Dashun Investment.

Dashun has investments of all sizes in various states of the Federation, especially in places where the Holy Land and Holy Valley are mortgaged. This is to facilitate the team's activities there at critical moments.

The federal government had tried to exclude Dashun's capital, but most of the central cities of the continents were not under the full control of the federation. Especially on the west coast, although they were hostile to Dashun, it was easier to find loopholes in various laws and regulations, and local legislators were easier to deal with.

It would take about two or three days to travel there by airship, but every country in the world is wary of foreign fighters. If there is no fighter from your own country accompanying you, then you are not allowed to take an airship alone, because you can go to any place in the Federation at any time, and the threat is too great.

So this time they took the train to their destination. In order to prevent any problems, Chen Chuan and his group booked the entire train. Except for the train crew, all other personnel were brought from the visiting delegation.

The security was taken over by Yuan Qiyuan, Qin Qingque, and Su Wei with their teams, while Gao Ming, Wei Changan and others took an airship to Atahoka Central City in advance to provide him with advance services and hand over procedures and documents.

In the carriage, Gui Zihan sat there holding a sword, looking at the scenery outside through the window. He seemed to be just sitting there, but in fact he was always maintaining a certain breathing with the ancient sword in his hand, and the two formed a wonderful rhythm.

This is a kind of practice, and he maintains it all the time. This makes his expression look very cold and he has a feeling of keeping people at a distance. Even the service personnel dare not approach him. They put down their things and leave quickly.

Chen Chuan was sitting opposite him, reading a newspaper. The light screen on the world quickly displayed the translated text, allowing him to read without any hindrance.

After he finished watching, he picked up the hot drink in his hand and took a sip, then looked outside. The vast wilderness was rapidly receding before his eyes. From time to time, he could see some low bushes and red rocks. The distant horizon seemed far away and empty.

Gui Zihan suddenly looked outside, his eyes fixed on a flying bird in the sky, and said, "That bird has been following us for two days."

Chen Chuan put down the cup and said calmly, "It's as expected," and looked ahead again, "We're about to pass through the tunnel." There is a Central Ridge Mountain Range in the central part of the Federation, which separates the east and west sides like a wrinkled crack. Due to the complex terrain there, the train needs to turn south first, then go around the bend and head north, passing through a tunnel more than 20 kilometers long.

Gui Zihan's eyes instantly became alert, as the tunnel was a good place for an attack.

Within two minutes, everything in front of my eyes suddenly went dark. The train had entered the tunnel. The rhythmic rumbling sound of the train suddenly became amplified, and my ears seemed to be slightly stuffy.

The darkness had little effect on the two people, and they could still clearly see everything inside and outside the car.

But it was possible that someone could attack here, and a fighter could easily collapse a section of the tunnel and try to bury them inside.

Gui Zihan watched vigilantly the whole time.

Chen Chuan was very calm. He didn't think the other side would attack them here. With their speed and destructive power, they were able to break out before anything happened. Moreover, it was not worth it to destroy an important channel connecting the east and west coasts just for a few of them.

In less than half an hour, the train came out of the tunnel, and bright light suddenly penetrated into the window, illuminating the figures and expressions of the two people.

Chen Chuan glanced at him and said, "There won't be any problems on the road. The test lies ahead."

After a while, Gui Zihan suddenly asked, "Why don't you call them both?"

Chen Chuanshuo said: "It's simple. You are stronger than them."

Gui Zihan said seriously: "I won't hold you back."

Chen Chuan nodded. He glanced at the map on the carriage and saw that after passing the tunnel, it would still take more than a day to get there.

Only at this moment, he suddenly discovered that the spiritual transmission above the sky had been partially restored, which meant that he had one less seed to send out.

In addition to this, during this period of time, he felt that the five seeds he had released disappeared one after another, with different times. He felt that in most cases it was not because they could not maintain themselves, but because of changes in the external environment. They might also encounter some inexplicable attacks. If the seeds cannot resist, they will self-disintegrate.

It seems that the environment in the Federation is really quite bad.

Now there are only two left, and I don’t know how long they can last. If none of them works, we will have to prepare for the second batch.

At the same time, in Arantava, the most sparsely populated continent in the northern part of the Federation, most of the population is concentrated in the central city. In addition, hundreds of thousands of people are scattered across the vast and flat plateau.

At this time, a lavender particle was blown by the wind in the wilderness and flew into a dilapidated town.

This small town seemed to have been uninhabited for a long time. The wooden buildings looked very dilapidated, with peeling paint revealing the gray-brown wooden boards. Many windows had long been shattered, leaving only empty window frames. The words on the sign of the town's tavern were already blurred, and the door was half open, creaking as the wind blew.

On the porch of the tavern, a few worn-out chairs lay on the ground, and a broken wine barrel had fallen to the ground, filled with wind-blown sand and dry weeds.

After the purple seed flew in, it was accompanied by the wind and fluttered quickly and sharply on the street overgrown with weeds. It seemed to be swept wherever it went. But when it passed a two-story house, it suddenly stopped and then fell into it.

Right on the pile of debris in the corner, there was a slightly broken doll lying. It was obvious that this was an old model of the original company. It might have been abandoned here because the owner lacked the funds for subsequent maintenance.

After circling around the puppet for several times, the purple seed slowly floated down, penetrated into its eyes, and reached the brain through the neural holes. Then the alienated tissues wrapped around the seed separated outwards.

The energy stored inside is released quickly, stimulating the rapid growth of alienated tissue. Strands of golden alienated tissue climb to various important tissues of the puppet, filling and repairing some key damaged parts, while activating the artificial alienated tissue inside.

After a while, the dead heart began to beat, and the solidified blood dissolved again, filling the whole body.

After a moment, the puppet opened its eyes.
