Chapter 653: Into the Canyon
"Colonel, it's confirmed, a hundred Abyss Crystals are no problem in terms of quantity and purity."
After listening to the soldier's report, Colonel Bra nodded. He walked back to the convoy, where his own soldiers carried away the crates containing the Abyssal Crystals. However, the Cato had no force field traction device on the box, and the soldier had to carry it back to one of the transport cars.
"Go back, boys, get me in the car." Bra said loudly.
He was about to jump into his flying car, when a soldier nervously came up to him and whispered, "Colonel, you probably have to come and see for yourself, the situation in the number 7 flying car is a bit strange." β
A moment later, Bra stood in the rear compartment of the tactical speeder, looking at the neat gap under his nose. After a long time, Bra asked, "Didn't you find Lauder and Bane?" β
"Yes, Colonel. And there's a rifle missing from the weapons box. β
"Okay, let's go. Stay any longer, just afraid to show those Cato boars a joke. Bra jumped out of the car and said through his headset, "Marley, take your people and take a good look around here, and find the rat that has mixed in for me." β
"Yes, Colonel."
Bra glanced around, his brows furrowed. He didn't say anything more, and just went back to his car. The convoy turned around and left Brico's field of view at a constant pace. The fat man, who was a stranger to the Cato, yelled, "Stupid, haven't you learned how to use it? Damn, how could you be so stupid. β
He shook the traction device in his hand irritably, full of contempt for his compatriots, who only knew how to fight, but did not even know how to use a simple traction device. But what can be done then, the Cato people are not very bright in the first place. Bai Ligo sighed, and he realized once again how painful it was for a wise man to be thrown into a bunch of fools.
"Perhaps I should go to Agareth, the Supreme One will need a clever Cato like me." Bai Lige muttered, then raised his head and shouted, "Come here, this is the last time." Whoever wants to learn again is not allowed to eat tonight! β
Watching the Cato people surround Bellicos, Alan took the opportunity to sneak into the nearest cargo box, and he opened the box, which was neatly arranged pieces of Valee blue steel. Blue steel is a new alloy developed by the Federation, which is far stronger than composite equipment and superalloys. The raw material for this alloy is not found on Earth, but is processed from ValΓ© fine iron produced on other colonized planets.
The Phantom Star Diamond and the Valley Blue Steel were only exchanged for a hundred Abyss Crystals, which showed the value of this Stygian Crystal. As for the Abyss Crystal, Alan had only heard of it, but he didn't know its true function. In the diary that Windsor Bello gave him, it was recorded in a few words, but it was said that one of the two supreme beings of Agares, who ruled the sky and the earth east of Agares's blood sea, was called Frieus the Great, and he lived in the dark castle. The faΓ§ade is made of abyssal crystals, and the city of eternal night, where the light can never penetrate, is one of the places that Ophasia the Great wanted to conquer and capture.
Unfortunately, the Ofascists have ruled Idahuaxing for two centuries, but they still can't build even a single forward base on Agareth.
What is the effect of the Stygian Crystal on the one hand, it is worth exchanging the Phantom Star Diamond and a large amount of blue steel. Alan hid himself in a crate, which had a lot of space, and Bula's boss wasn't generous enough to pile up the boxes with blue steel. The distance between the steel and the lid was enough for Alan to lie flat, and after he hid himself, the box staggered to float. Alan heard the exclamations of the Cato people outside, it seemed that these stupid Cato warriors had learned how to use the force field traction device, and were moving the crate where Eren was hiding.
He opened a gap in the lid and saw that the Cato were using the force field to pull away the heavy crate. From Alan's point of view, the world beyond the cracks is receding. As the bright light grew darker, and the rolling hills were replaced by twisted trees, gray-stained rocks, and long grass tall for people, Eren knew that he had begun to enter the confines of the Canyon of Chaos.
Suddenly, the box fell and fell to the ground, and Alan rolled out of the box with the blue steel. He heard the exclamations of the Cato and the angry scolding of Brigo, and seeing that he could no longer hide in the box, he simply flew into a mass of grass, and obscured himself by the thick grass. Again, a Cato warrior was being counted down by Briggo. The fat man called a few more soldiers to help put back the blue steel that had fallen out of the box, and the team started again.
Alan waited for them to be far away before hanging behind the group, ready to explore where their base camp was.
"Major Mare look here."
The goggles reflected a patch of snow, and a pair of faint footprints on the snow were almost wiped out by the wind and snow. At this point, the goggle was removed, revealing a pair of bloodshot eyes. The man lying on the ground squatted up, he had an unusually large nose, now exposed to the wind and snow, and quickly turned red from the cold.
Soon a man came to him, his light gray hair was a little messy by the wind, his sharp outline, and his eyes revealed the fortitude of a soldier. In the golden age of his life, Ma Lei, who had just passed his fortieth birthday, looked at the big nose and said, "Are you sure it's a human, hound?" β
The man nicknamed Hound nodded and said, "One hundred percent sure, Major." Unless the Chaos Race or the planet's natives like to wear our human shoes, but I don't think that's likely. β
"Tell me, then, where did he go?"
The two of them were standing on the low hill where Eren had been hiding, and the hound raised his head and raised his hand in front of his eyes, so as not to blind his eyes from the light refracted by the snow. He shrugged, "This is no ordinary fellow, Major. Even Colonel Bra did not find out about his whereabouts for the first time, which shows that this is a master. I've checked my surroundings, and I've found some clues over there, in addition to these footprints. But there really aren't many clues, but if you follow these clues, that guy should be following the Cato. β
The hound turned around and pointed to the mountain shadow in front of him: "I'm seventy percent sure, that guy went over there." β
"Chaos Canyon?" Ma Lei touched his blue chin: "That's not a good place, to find someone in the Chaotic Canyon, and a master who can hide from Colonel Bra, that's no different from looking for a needle in a haystack." β
"So do you have any suggestions, Major?" Hound asked.
Ma Lei sighed: "I only have one stupid way. β
"We're listening." The Hound clicked on the headset, and Mare was not the only one of his men.
