Chapter 1091: Xunling's Urgent Message
Chapter 1091: Xunling's Urgent Message
At the entrance to the Gem Lake, a small number of roadblocks and simple fortifications have been built, and a large number of modified creatures have been deployed along the way.
This is useless for fighters, but it can have a certain hindering effect on a small number of reconnaissance and assault personnel.
Since information transmission becomes quite difficult once you go deep into the secret instrument, a temporary telegraph receiving station is also set up here.
When Chen Chuan arrived at the telegraph station, a telegram from the visiting delegation arrived, informing him that the people he had sent had arrived at their destination safely and that the information had been verified.
After killing the three Secret Hall fighters that day, he had sent several detailed telegrams to Captain Xie intermittently. At the same time, he also sent a courier back with a secret letter so that the two sides could cross-verify.
After receiving the news, Captain Xie responded immediately. He was full of praise between the lines and thanked him for his efforts. Finally, he hoped that they could defend the Throat of the Protoss and ensure that it would not be seized by the Federation during this period of time.
As for the three secret hall fighters killed by Chen Chuan, he was told that although the matter was serious and there might be a fierce reaction from the Federation, the visiting delegation would try their best to solve it and provide him with information, so he just had to complete his own task.
Chen Chuan knew that the real test was yet to come.
Behind every Secret Temple fighter there is a huge interest group involved. If these people had not been organized to attack Kavatua this time, he would probably not have met them at all and it would have been difficult for him to have any intersection. In fact, except for Master Bai Shi, the others should try to avoid direct conflict with him.
The federation may still be trying to confirm the news, or discussing countermeasures and solutions. Three days is not enough time for them to react.
Once the situation is confirmed, what may follow is a real storm. The Dashun delegation can mediate, but at most it can only delay the time. He will have to bear the subsequent pressure himself.
Personally, he is not afraid but happy to accept such challenges.
But for the Throat of the Stars, it may have to bear greater risks at this stage. Perhaps only when Elder Fierce Wind finds and controls the secret mechanism here, can it achieve true safety.
In fact, he did make some preparations. He had previously let the members of the Crimson Hunting Cavalry go and deliberately left a mark on an important person. In this way, based on the location and distance of these people, he could roughly judge the general movements of this group of people.
In the past few days, he could feel that the other party did not really go away, but was just wandering around the foot of the mountain. This meant that the enemy had not given up, or perhaps was just waiting for further instructions.
While he was thinking, the young man Awan hurriedly ran out from behind and said loudly: "Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen..."
Chen Chuan put down the telegram, walked over and asked, "Don't be impatient, speak slowly."
Awan panted, propped up his knees, and said with joy: "The elder said that we, we found the entrance to the hub. Elder, the elder has something to discuss with you..."
"Oh?"
Chen Chuan's eyes lit up slightly, and he decisively took Awan back to the inside of the Throat of the Stars, and rushed to that place under the latter's guidance.
Along the way, he asked Awan some questions and learned that the location was actually not far from the central platform, but there were no obvious signs on the outside. They finally deduced and found it after finding some records left by previous sacrifices.
When they arrived, they saw Elder Liefeng and all the first-world people were here. They were looking at a glowing portal in front of them with excitement and joy. The border of the portal was formed by slender branches growing from several trees.
He took a few looks and as expected, it was a crack.
When Elder Liefeng saw him, he immediately came forward and said in a smooth and fluent manner, "Mr. Chen, you are here."
Chen Chuan walked closer and asked, "Elder Liefeng, is there anything I can help you with?"
"It's like this," Elder Liefeng said somewhat helplessly, "After we found this place, we tried to go in and take a look. Now we have confirmed the location of the ritual hub, but even if we have the key to open it, we still need to hold a ceremony to gain the recognition of our ancestors..."
After listening to his explanation, Chen Chuan realized that this ceremony was quite complicated. Apart from some necessary conditions, in order to complete such a ceremony independently, at least three high-level priests were required to preside over it together.
Elder Liefeng himself could barely be considered one, after all, he had received instruction in priests and had some experience in presiding over ceremonies. But the sad news was that among the people of Isutar now, besides him, there was only one priest left.
However, the priest was already very old, and could not withstand the long journey. Even if he could get here from the tribe, it would take at least half a month, and he didn't know what kind of situation he would encounter along the way.
So now he had to think of another way. His idea was to find a few people present to teach him the sacrificial rituals. It was not easy to understand the complicated etiquette in just a few days, but now he had to bite the bullet. In fact, if the person who performed the ceremony did not have to be a Chuzhimin and an Isutar, the secret ritual experts from Dashun could take over.
However, in this case, the Dashun people may need to participate in the defense here for a while.
In addition to this, there is also the issue of sacrifice.
Elder Liefeng said somewhat embarrassedly: "To hold the ceremony, we need a lot of offerings from the ancestral altar. We have promised to give them to Mr. Chen before, but now we have to ask you to borrow some."
He immediately added, "We don't need too much. We only need what is needed for the ritual. We will find a way to repay you. As long as we can contact the sacred beast in the Ancestral Corridor, we will be able to pay you double."
Chen Chuan expressed his understanding of this. Only by speeding up the progress here could he extricate himself from this task as soon as possible. The sooner it was done, the safer it would be.
He said: "Elder Liefeng, helping you stabilize the Throat of the Star Spirit will benefit both of us, so use whatever you need first, and don't worry about me."
Elder Liefeng thanked him gratefully, and without further ado, he immediately led the selected people to start the ceremony rehearsal.
He already knew that there were powerful enemies attacking outside, but they were all driven away and killed by Chen Chuanchu. So it was possible that those demons would continue to send people in the future. They could not help with security, so the best help was to speed up the completion of the ceremony.
Seeing that there were no problems here, Chen Chuan went to check various places and communicated with the team members. The morale was currently very high and there was nothing to get used to. The busiest people at the moment were the secret instrument team and technical experts.
Entering here is like entering a treasure trove for them. There are things worth studying everywhere. You have to know that after the Federation took over the land and treasures of the First People, it really got a lot of good things.
At present, the technologies of the Federation and Dashun each have their own advantages and disadvantages. In the field of implant technology, both sides have their own strengths, but they are far ahead in the technology of alienated plant systems. It is said that a new generation of high-energy algae is about to be developed.
Once successful, it may be a new round of reforms, and the Federation can have these advantages, partly due to the previous accumulation of the original people.
The Holy Land of Throat of the Protoss is filled with alienated plants that the technicians have never seen before, which has made them study them non-stop in the past few days. They have also sent a telegram to the visiting delegation, requesting to mobilize more technical experts from their home country.
Chen Chuan asked the attendant to take good care of these experts and did not disturb them. Instead, he returned to the previous tent alone. He first fed Chao Ming something, then poured him a cup of hot drink, took out a few bark books from the soft storage bag beside him, leaned on the thick pillow, and slowly flipped through the books in front of him.
This was sent by Elder Liefeng. In addition to a few records of secret ritual arrangements, there are also cultivation books and various records of the beginners.
He did not recognize the writing of the primitive people, but fortunately the holy land warriors of the past did not recognize it either. The writing was mastered solely by the priests, and knowledge was mainly transmitted through pictures and spiritual power, which was actually more useful than simple text, because the information contained in the carrier of text was limited, while spiritual power was more intuitive.
In the past, only the most devout believers in ancestors and gods were allowed to view these treasures of the holy land, but now he can browse them at will. It can only be said that if there is sufficient military force, then any rules are no different from waste paper.
The primitive people have their own system of practice. The highest inheritance in the ancient method is the four veins of the sun, the mountains, the raging rivers and the earth. There are records of these, but they are not complete. I think these inheritances are not completely written down.
But he didn't care. These things alone could bring him a lot of inspiration. He still remembered the battle with Takoda. He was deeply impressed by the opponent's Nu River heritage. There might be fighters who practiced this ancient method in the Federation.
In addition, some unique training techniques are also quite refreshing.
Just as he was reading intently, the phone suddenly rang in the tent. It was an internal line. He picked it up immediately and heard the attendant on the other end report that the telegraph station had received an urgent telegram from a visiting delegation, and asked him to read it immediately after arrival.
After hearing this, he immediately put down the phone, came out of the tent, went to the telegraph station across the lake, and took a telegram from the orderly standing at attention.
He took it and looked at it, and there were only a few short words on it.
"Go! Evacuate immediately!"
