Chapter 1828 Chang Ming's Past

"This winter is particularly cold..."

"Nonsense, this is the top of a mountain, how can it not be cold?"

"Can you two stop talking nonsense? Hurry up and get on with your journey."

At the top of Laojun Mountain, a team of four was struggling to move forward. Everything around them was white, with goose-feather-sized snowflakes floating in the air. The conditions were extremely harsh.

"Chang Ming, you are a weak scholar, why do you have to come with us to wade into muddy water? Isn't it better for you to stay in the capital?"

One of the four seemed to be a chatterbox and couldn't stay still. Not long after, he started communicating with the person at the end of the team.

"Him? He's afraid of death. It seems that a high-level spiritual ruins appeared in the capital. Although the spiritual beasts haven't attacked the city yet, people are already panicking."

The leader immediately interrupted the conversation, his words full of sarcasm.

Chang Ming silently tucked his collar tightly without saying anything.

In the eyes of these soldiers, the researchers doing research in the laboratory are probably those who are afraid of death.

At this time, Chang Ming has been studying the reasons for the appearance of spiritual beasts and the methods for human beings to rise. The appearance of spiritual beasts has brought new energy substances and spiritual energy to Blue Star. If humans can utilize this new energy substance, they will definitely be able to compete with spiritual beasts. All countries are conducting urgent research, and China is no exception.

These days, Huaguo has collected a lot of objects from the Lingxiu era and provided them to Chang Ming and others for research. You know what, it really gave Chang Ming some ideas for his research.

In a damaged file storage, Chang Ming obtained some top-secret information about Chinese high-level officials during the Lingxiu era. The information was incomplete, and the information that could be collected was extremely pitiful, with only five words.

Laojun Mountain, Golden Summit.

Obviously, there are definitely secrets hidden at the highest point of the Laojun Mountain's highest peak, the Golden Summit. However, Chang Ming did not share the information with other researchers, or even his superiors. Instead, he quietly applied for an outing for investigation. After some operations, he joined the team exploring the habitat of the spiritual beasts of the Laojun Mountain.

Faced with the ridicule, Chang Ming was too lazy to refute. He just wanted to find the treasures left over from the Lingxiu era. As for how many spiritual beasts came and how many people died, what did it have to do with him?

As a highly intellectual, he has a lot of people standing in front of him, protecting him and covering for him. Although his life is not in danger for the time being, he is often unsatisfied with the status quo.

Chang Ming, who grew up in a poor family and went against the tide to eventually reach this position, wants to give it a try. If there had not been this revival of spiritual energy, Chang Ming's upper limit would have been to be a teacher in a university in the capital. Although he is already a high-ranking figure in the society, he can't do what he wants after all. What he wants is to cover the sky with one hand and make the whole China tremble with just the stomping of his feet!

For China and Blue Planet, the revival of spiritual energy and the rampage of spiritual beasts are a disaster!

For Chang Ming, the revival of spiritual energy is the only perfect opportunity for him to realize his ambitions.

The ferocity of the spiritual beasts was far beyond mankind's expectations. Humans were losing ground, and major countries had not yet figured out the techniques and application of spiritual energy. Chang Ming was about to give up his ideas and hide in the rear, letting other cannon fodder buy him time to survive. At that time, he got the incomplete information.

This time, Chang Ming put aside his cowardice and fear of death. He wanted to give it a try. He wanted to gamble that there was something he wanted on the top of the Golden Summit!

"Humph, if we run into a high-level spirit beast, it will be hard to run away with such a burden!"

"We are just investigating. Nothing will go wrong if we are careful."

"Hush, there's something going on ahead!"

The three members of the investigation team were a middle-aged man about 40 years old, a tall and thin woman with ordinary looks, and a teenager who was only about 20 years old. It was he who had mocked Chang Ming many times just now.

"Captain Wang, is it a spirit beast?"

"Do not talk!"

The boy looked at their captain Wang Chen, who quickly scolded him in a low voice, saying that some spirit beasts have extremely sensitive hearing and would detect any movement.

"They are just a few low-level jackals. We should go around them and make as little noise as possible!"

Wang Chen spoke to the three people, but anyone with a discerning eye could clearly hear that Wang Chen was mainly targeting Chang Ming.

Wang Chen, Julie, and Li Tian are all special forces of the Luocheng Military Region. They are the elite among the elite. Equipped with some special equipment, they are not at all inferior to the spiritual beasts below the bronze five-star level. If they encounter a spiritual beast above the bronze five-star level, they can also fight with the combined attack of the three.

As for Chang Ming?

They are powerless and would never carry out the mission with Chang Ming if their superiors did not request them to do so.

There was an open space in front of the three people. Three jackals were lying on the ground taking a nap. These jackals were the product of a nearby spiritual ruins. They were generally around three bronze stars and were considered the weakest among the nearby spiritual beasts.

Chang Ming clenched his fists, his spirit tense, and followed Wang Chen and the other two carefully. This was the first time he saw a living spirit beast. Most of the time, what were placed in front of him were the corpses of spirit beasts, which came from the front line and were sent to them for dissection.

"Crench!"

Suddenly, a crisp breaking sound was heard, and Chang Ming's face froze. A branch buried under the thick snow was broken by his feet. Wang Chen's face turned pale. At this time, they were only 20 meters away from the three jackals. At this distance, the other party would definitely hear the sound.

Julie didn't say much. She took out a standard dagger from her waist, leaned forward slightly, and was ready to fight at any time. Li Tian also took out the same dagger and came directly to Chang Ming.

At this time, the three jackals had already discovered the four people and were approaching them with a slight growl.

Wang Chen frowned. This could not be blamed on Chang Ming. After all, the branches were hidden under the snow. Even they could not see the branches through the snow. It was just their bad luck.

"Where are your guns? Are you going to use this to fight the spirit beasts?"

Chang Ming frowned as he looked at the daggers in the hands of the three men. He did not think that the three jackals in front of him were very strong. In fact, there had been spirit beasts in front of him that were countless times stronger than these jackals.

"Nonsense, this is a gathering area for spirit beasts. As soon as the gunshots were heard, we were surrounded. You just need to watch from behind and don't give orders blindly."

Li Tian obviously had a bad temper. As soon as Chang Ming questioned him, Li Tian started to criticize him.

Chang Ming opened his mouth, a hint of gloom appeared in his eyes. How dare a soldier who hasn't even grown all his hair speak to him like that?

The jackals now split into three groups and surrounded the four people. How could they not eat the snacks that were delivered to their doorstep?

"Li Tian!"

"Roger that!"
