Chapter 104 I wish you would come back
At this moment, Jiang Lan was in the frontier tent, packing his clothes...
He was going to go deep into the 'Dead Silence Domain' to see if he could find a solution.
Before this, he had naturally sent people in.
At the beginning, he used death row prisoners, and they died as soon as they stepped in.
Later, protective clothing that could be used to move in it was developed.
But the time to persist was still limited.
In order to get more information, many warriors went deep again and again.
Some came back, but most of them stayed in it forever.
No one can survive in the Dead Silence Domain...
Jiang Lan once wanted to lead the team to set off, which was the responsibility of the Great Witch.
But he was persuaded by everyone, they were afraid that Jiang Lan would die and Daxia would collapse.
Jiang Lan was also afraid of death. He found many excuses for himself, but he did not make up his mind in the end...
He always comforted himself that there might be a turnaround later...
But now, facing the endless 'Dead Silence Domain', behind him is the last pure land for all living beings.
He knew that there was no way out!
Although he didn't know when the 'Dead Silence Domain' would continue to expand, Jiang Lan knew that there might be no place for humans to survive next time.
He could indeed continue to enjoy his last days in the Great Xia Dynasty.
He could have a life of luxury, he could have three thousand concubines, he could be above all spirits, and become the master of Great Xia!
But what's the point of this?
He couldn't escape, and neither could any living being.
Rather than waiting to die, it's better to give it a try!
At the same time, as the leader of Great Xia, he did have the responsibility to open up the way forward.
If he didn't succeed...
"Then let me go ahead!"
Jiang Lan dressed neatly and asked everyone to open the border gate.
"Great Witch!"
Just as Jiang Lan stepped out of the gate, he was stopped.
The visitors were a group of burly men, but like Jiang Lan, they were already over 50 years old.
Unlike Jiang Lan, they had half white hair and looked much older than Jiang Lan.
They were 'Tong', 'Feng' and others.
They were the original Daxia people and the generals of the Daxia Dynasty...
"Great Witch, please allow us to follow!"
Jiang Lan turned around and looked at them carefully one by one.
Jiang Lan vaguely remembered that when he evacuated, he met the strange python.
Just when its venom was about to spray on Jiang Lan, he was pushed away by "Tong".
His left arm was splashed with venom at that time...
Due to the critical situation, he had no time to clean and treat.
So, he cut off his arm directly, and continued to fight bravely in front of the enemy despite the blood flowing.
In the end, a shot killed the strange python that killed his brother "Mu".
And his arm was completely inactive and could never be reattached.
It has been 20 years since he had one arm.
Wearing a bronze mask, "Feng" had his face burned by the fireball of the monster.
Although he survived, his face was extremely terrifying. When he just returned home, he even scared his children to tears...
The bronze mask was made by Jiang Lan and given to him.
On it are patterns carved by the best carver of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Jiang Lan personally sent it to his home and put it on him.
Now he can appear in the storybooks and dramas as a masked general, and is deeply loved and admired by children.
Riding on the white tiger, 'Qi' is no longer the jade-faced general.
He has a muscular body, a beer belly, a bald head, and a face full of flesh. His whole body reveals the ravages of time.
At the gate of the city, the sister who shouted for his brother and Dabai, as well as his family, all died in the previous escape.
At that time, he had to organize a retreat. Between his family and the people of Great Xia, he chose the people.
Since then, he has been drinking wine and drowning his sorrows...
However, after being drunk and causing troubles and violating military regulations many times, Jiang Lan had no choice but to let him return home.
It has been more than ten years since I last saw him, and his appearance has changed a lot.
Jiang Lan still recognized him by relying on the white tiger under his seat.
The lifespan of spirit beasts is longer than that of humans, and his white tiger is still majestic...
The rest are mostly members of the first batch of beast control teams.
They are all old...
Some people's spirit beasts even died ahead of them. They lost their most important companions and their fighting power.
They are now just a group of old people...
"Go back..."
"Great witch!"
Everyone wanted to say something else.
"Go back! This is my order!"
Jiang Lan showed his momentum and overwhelmed everyone at once. Everyone dared not say anything more.
"You don't understand these things, and you can't help much if you go..."
"Besides, you have been fighting for half your life, and you should enjoy the prosperous world you have worked hard for."
Jiang Lan's voice softened a little, and then he said half-jokingly.
"Go back and enjoy your leisure time."
"Maybe, in a few years, I will solve the 'Dead Silence Domain'."
"By then, the Great Xia Dynasty will still rely on you to conquer the world!"
"So, have a good rest..."
"If possible, help me look after the Great Xia Dynasty..."
"I'll go first."
After Jiang Lan finished speaking, he turned around and continued to move towards the 'Dead Silence Domain'.
"Yuanbao, are you ready?"
"Woo——"
Following the cry of Yuanbao behind him, his whole body was glowing with fluorescence.
His body gradually became transparent and he stepped forward.
He bumped into Jiang Lan's body.
Jiang Lan felt nothing and continued to move forward.
At this moment, under his military uniform, a tattoo of a unicorn appeared on his body!
Jiang Lan and Yuanbao, merged into one.
In the past few decades, Jiang Lan has never given up his research on the "Secret Book of All Spirits".
With his excellent comprehension, he has practiced the "Secret Book of All Spirits" more and more deeply and awakened a magical ability.
That is [Beast Pattern].
He can merge with his own spirit beast.
Possessing the strong body, magical abilities and long life of the spirit beast!
This is also one of the reasons why Jiang Lan decided to go by himself.
He is stronger than everyone else. If he can't solve it, bringing more people will only lead to death.
The original meaning of the Great Witch is to lead people forward, not to take them to death!
As their great witch, he naturally did the same.
"I don't want to lose my integrity in my later years, haha!"
Jiang Lan laughed and swept away all distracting thoughts.
Now he put everything aside, no need to worry about others, and only had one goal in mind.
"Find the truth of this world! Find a way to solve the 'Dead Silence Domain'!"
Jiang Lan stepped into the 'Dead Silence Domain' without hesitation.
He felt itchy, as if there were little bugs gnawing at him.
He could feel that his vitality was slowly fading away.
"Huh... This is just the periphery..."
"But, after activating the [Beast Mark], I can hold on!"
The kirin tattoo on his body sent waves of surging power, dispelling these discomforts.
It made Jiang Lan move much more freely.
At the city gate, the generals of Daxia watched their great witch walk towards the Dead Silence Domain.
They also witnessed with their own eyes that he and his spirit beast became one, emitting a faint light, and walked freely in the dead land, like a god!
His determined back, as usual, gave them hope.
All they could do was to bid farewell: "Great Witch... May you come back!"
Their voices attracted the soldiers on the border.
As soldiers, the first lesson they learned after joining the army was to learn to obey orders.
At this moment, they were fulfilling their duties seriously.
But they also had their own expectations:
"May you come back!"
One voice after another, layer by layer, broke through the clouds.
Their farewell came from the back.
Jiang Lan did not look back, but just waved his hand.
Just like before, he said goodbye to them on the city wall...
