Seeing the expression of zero doubt, Cario chuckled. .+?(.+nbsp;\\s*The instructor sits on his own chair, then points to the chair in front of the desk and gestures to Zero to sit down. Cario smiled: "Look, destroy The recruits of the Hammer are not recruited at all times. After all, there are not many recruits with an average level of Tier 3 or above. So in a year, training camps like you have been opened once or twice. But the rest of the time This **** bourgeoisie also doesn't let Lao Tzu be idle, so he has to work as a task dispatcher when he has time."

If Valkyrie were here, he would definitely be dissatisfied with Cario's statement. The responsibility that Asgart entrusted to him is not a simple mission senior, but a first-level strategic staff. The task release of the headquarters is only a small part of his work. Cario's main job is to be responsible for the strategic planning and scheduling of the entire Asgart. In the headquarters, they have extremely high powers of speaking.

Naturally, Zero doesn't know about these. So he just nodded, and then asked: "Instructor, your injury..."

"It's okay, Angie Gullit is not qualified to kill me. This little injury, I can actually heal myself without entering the training tank." Cario said very hard, following him as if thinking of something, waving very annoyed. Start, as if to sweep away the topic of discussion between the two. He said: "Close to the subject, this time the golden cat called you up, because there is a task that wants to make you cheaper."

The word cheap made Zero's nerves jump slightly, based on his understanding of Cario. The so-called cheap things by the chief instructor are usually linked to the difficulty.

Cario continued to input some commands on the light keys on the corner of the table, and followed the office windows to automatically lower the blinds. A light screen appeared on the wall behind Cario, and the topographic map west of the Julian Mountains was displayed on the light screen. On this 5,000-kilometer topographic map, a blue band of light extends from Asgart as the starting point towards the frozen plateau to the west. On this strip of light, there are red and green light spots flickering.

Cario explained: "The light spots of these two colors represent the alien races we have discovered so far. The green light spots represent friendliness, and the red naturally represents hostile relations..."

There are seven red and green light spots on the blue light belt. While they were flickering, suddenly a green spot of light went out and turned into gray.

"This is your task." Cario pointed to the gray light spot and said, "Aaron, an alien in appearance like a half-human bird. They retain the ability of birds to fly and possess intelligence equivalent to that of adults. , Has begun to use simple weapons."

While talking, a three-dimensional model of a half-human bird appeared on the side of the light screen. It has a human-like upright body, but its arms are connected to the sides of the body like a pterodactyl. This model of Aaron is holding a long spear and automatically makes some spear shots. The movements are simple but very refined, which is an effective battlefield fighting technique.

"This gray spot is the village of the sub-clan. The village is not big, and there are more than a hundred Aarons living in it. In these friendly alien territories, we have installed life monitors. Just a few days ago, they were set up in The life monitor in the Aaronic village showed that all life in the village had disappeared. It was not an invasion, but extinction, and there was no life reaction." Cario said while smoking a cigarette: "This command issued a series of orders. , Including investigating the cause of death of the Aaron tribe, and if foreign enemies invade, they will be wiped out. Originally, this order will be issued in the morning. Just when I saw you come back, I asked you to execute it. The d1-level task, if it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have the authority to accept this task according to your team’s rating."

The command is classified according to the difficulty of the task, from low to high, there are six levels: e, d, c, b, a, and s. Among them, each level is divided into three levels from 1 to 3. Since the zero team has only e-level, it is naturally unable to accept d-level tasks, so directly throw the unreleased tasks to zero, and Cario can be said to have taken care of him very much.

Zero naturally has no reason to refuse.

"Go, finish it beautifully. Then, invite me to dinner!" Cario smiled.

Zero nodded and agreed and left. After he left, Cario's smile gradually disappeared, and even became a little solemn.

The reason for the extinction of the Aaron tribe is not simple. The adult individuals of these half-birds have the power and agility equal to the third-order human ability. Coupled with the simple and practical spear technique, it is not a pleasant thing to be snarled by them. It is not difficult to kill one or two half-birds, but it is not easy to kill the entire Aaron tribe.

The reason why the headquarters issued this task was to find out that the cause of the extinction of the Aaronic tribe was disease? Or is it a species conflict? Or is it intentional? If the first two are okay, if the latter, then Asgart must consider updating the monitoring model and strengthening the monitoring force.

When thinking of this question, Cario naturally thought of what happened at the Cossacks military base. After he and Valkyrie awoke, they immediately reported the use of the command issuing system of the headquarters to Ben. For this matter, Ben naturally took it seriously and asked the two to investigate the matter secretly. But to this day, the two still have no idea.

The latter is clever and clean, without any relevant clues at all. Cario is very clear that this investigation should not be completed in a short period of time. The chief instructor is not a patient person, so Cario has given this job to Valkyrie to take care of it.

He turned his head and looked at the virtual sky outside the window, his mood is very complicated. Under this peaceful surface, Cario felt a strong anxiety. Anxiety is like an undercurrent, surging against the peaceful reef of Asgart.

When the old man Cario was sick and worried about the safety of Asgart, the city of the kingdom of God, Zero, who had always only wanted to make money, had called Shangfeng and several people drove the same rented off-road vehicle on the road. Along the main road that runs from north to south, it left Asgart and passed through the long and dim passage. When the hydraulic gate was opened, the two sides of the mountain wall for concealment were divided equally, so a world of ice and snow appeared. In the eyes of the four of them.

The front baffle of the super wild car was removed, and because of the need to walk in the snow, a snow extractor had been installed. The snow remover is a peripheral part of the car, and the shape is a rectangular steel channel. There is a slit at the front of the steel trough, and a powerful suction device is installed in the slit, which will produce a great suction to the space in front. The snow pile in front of the car was drawn into the steel trough in this way, and then ground into powder by thousands of steel wheels hidden in it, and finally ejected by the hole-shaped snow ejectors on both sides.

With thick white smoke from both ends of the car, the car drove forward at a constant speed of 40 kilometers per hour, and gradually drove into the western wilderness covered by ice and snow. The speed of the off-road vehicle is not fast, but in an environment where the snow piles up to a height of three meters, such a speed is already rare. The weather today is not bad, there is no wind and snow, and the red sky is full of ice crystals in the radiation cloud, reflecting magnificent colors.

The colors are magical, but it is a pity that people nowadays find it hard to be in the mood to appreciate them. It is not easy to live, and it is difficult to have the mood to see the scenery.

The car drove past the outskirts of the Cossacks military base in accordance with the instructions of the electronic map. This land seemed to have been ploughed again, exposing the bare ground, and even the wind and snow did not have time to bury it. From a distance, nearly half of the buildings on the surface of the base were damaged. From the other side, it is not difficult to see the fierce battle on that day. However, it is less than a month apart, but it makes people feel distant.

Continue westward, and there is an endless tundra. In a map of Pingchuan, there are occasional bulging objects, which have become old trees that have been frozen into pillars of frost. Life on the tundra is rare, and occasionally a few Fenry wolves run by. This kind of magic wolf is extremely alert. When the car is still at least three hundred meters away from them, they have already spotted zero such uninvited guests. Their blue eyes with golden threads looked at the off-road vehicle, then let go of their four hooves, sprinted like flying, and quickly left the sight of the zero class person.

Seeing this scene, Feng couldn't help but sigh, and had to enter the sniper rifle borrowed by XiangZero. He was going to shoot these demon wolves, after all, the fur of Fenry wolves was very popular with the noble lords. Fur can be made into fur coats, or made into fur collars to decorate the coats to show their nobility. A complete coat of fur is worth at least three hundred points if you convert the value of success!

As a result, the journey turned from the plain into the dense frost forest under Feng's regretful voice. The dense forest composed of coniferous trees covers an area of ​​tens of thousands of square kilometers and becomes a natural barrier to isolate human civilization. There are dozens or even hundreds of unknown alien intelligent life forms inhabiting this dense forest and the ground behind the dense forest. As for the expeditionary force dispatched by Asgart, the journey of the golden battle axe was no more than passing through the dense frost forest and reaching the Screaming Gorge three hundred kilometers behind.

In the dense forest of frost, these conifer members are much taller and taller than their counterparts in the old days. They usually require ten people to hug and are more than 300 meters high. What's more, it is nearly 500 meters tall. In this way, the giant tree is covered with long needle-like leaves, and the leaves have thick fleshy flesh and thick skin, which stores the energy of the giant tree without losing too quickly. When the cold winter arrives, these needles have become indispensable food for life in this forest.

There is plenty of water in the thick needles, and plant fiber that can satisfy your hunger. Although every coniferous tree is covered with frost, its thick skin isolates the coldness of frost and snow, and preserves the rich nutrients in the leaves.

When the off-road vehicle drove into this forest, zero birth entered the sense of giants. The tall trees are like pillars that prop up the sky and the earth, presenting a strange world in the eyes of a few people. Although it is cold winter, there are still traces of life activities in the forest. The most common is an alien creature that is only the size of a fox but looks like a wolf.

These mutated creatures, called jackals, have two large, fluffy tails, which allow them to glide briefly in the air. Jackals feed on needles. After eating these foods, a special organ in their bodies digests part of the food and turns it into a poisonous gas. When needed, jackals release poisonous gas like skunks. The poisonous gas they release will not diffuse with the wind, but will diffuse in a certain range for a long time, and use this to defend against the attacks of other mutant beasts.

In addition to the jackal, there are several other alien creatures at work. They chase in front of giant trees, **** food, or even kill to fight for their own territory. But no matter what they were doing, as soon as they heard the sound of the off-road vehicle engine, they would flee in all directions, so that they could only look at the strange figure of Dodo.

The village of the Aaronic tribe is in the dense forest, as if there is no instruction on the electronic map, it is not easy to find this half-bird village in a place like a sea of ​​trees. A few people also went around in the dense forest, and finally found the location of the Aaron village. Obviously, a clearing of cleared land has become a village for the Aaronic people. From a distance, there are patches of thatched huts on the clearing ground, with very simple construction methods, and the materials for the houses are taken from the spot. This half-bird village, let a few people experience the primitive style once.

According to Asgart’s records, the Aaronic society is currently equivalent to the primitive age of mankind. They are the mother society, and the matriarchal Aaronic people occupy the position of leader in the village. The male Aaronic are responsible for hunting, construction, and all other heavy tasks. According to the record, not only the Aaronic tribe, but other intelligent races have a longer reproductive cycle than the mutant beasts, and are closer to the reproductive cycle of humans in the old age.

However, in the long-term childbearing period, the offspring who are born still die at a very high rate. If this is not the case, humans may not be able to defend the entire circle of civilization that occupies the coastline. From the emergence of the first generation of the Aaron tribe to the present, there have been three generations of reproduction, but their ethnic group has only grown from the first more than 20 people to the present one hundred population. But even so, the Aaron tribe is already considered to be the most populous race among the alien races that have been recorded in Asgar.

The off-road vehicle stopped at the entrance of the Aaron village. It was said that it was the entrance, but it was only a wooden stick erected as a sign. There are three skulls nailed to the wood Chunk. From the appearance, they are followed by humans, jackals, and a relatively rare metamorphosis beast Megalodon. Obviously, this wooden tree is both a sign of the village and a warning. It's just that from the current situation, the effect of this kind of warning is not great.

Half of the cottages in the village were burnt to ashes, leaving only traces of charred. And in the open space of the village, there are more scorched scars left by the fire. The fire is probably very violent, and the temperature of the fire is so high that the ground has been roasted into glass. Seeing this scene, the four people frowned. To achieve the high temperature of the natural flame to bake the ground into a glass shape, a sealed environment is needed to keep heating up. The village is ventilated on all sides, and the air flow is very obvious. Obviously, such an environment cannot reach high temperature conditions.

Then the remaining possibility is the ability of the element domain. Using some of the abilities of the element domain can indeed produce high-temperature energy destruction in an open environment. And the high-temperature energy that can crystallize the ground is at least a fifth-order power. A Tier 5 elemental domain ability person, no matter what type of elemental destruction he is proficient in, is a terrible opponent.

So several people immediately entered the state of battle, with zero Browning pistols, plain alloy epees, and Feng's Tang knives in hand. Only Ma Pei had his hands empty, but the blood vessels under his skin were swollen so that he could transform into an iron-clad rhino at any time.

The village is very quiet, a little weirdly quiet. The source of the weirdness was that there were no corpses. A few people swept the village back and forth several times, but none of the Aaronic corpses were found. The valuable thing found was just a life sensor that turned into a piece of black charcoal. Judging from the traces of damage, it was also damaged by a high-heat attack.

It is not a normal thing to have no corpse, although there are few scavenging beasts like corpse wolves in the frost dense forest. But now is the cold winter season, and the corpse can stay fresh for a long time. Fresh meat is the favorite of many mutant beasts, especially the intelligent life form of the Aaron tribe. Their flesh and blood are no different from the existence of tonic to other mutant beasts.

But even if these beasts came, the whole village couldn't even see the shadow of the corpse. The low-intelligence mutant beasts couldn't make such clean hands and feet.

"Keep looking." Ling said lightly and gave this simple order.

However, this time, the four of them turned over almost all corners of the village, leaving no traces behind. But whether they want to accept it or not, there is nothing suspicious in the village except for the traces of damage. It wasn't until the four men extended their range to within 500 meters of the village that they found messy traces of fighting on the east side.

This is in the forest nearly 500 meters away from the village, and the bodies of sub-tribes can occasionally be seen on the nearby giant trees. The ground and a few tree trunks showed large scorches, among which there were even a few scorched corpses. In front of a giant tree, a ten-meter simple wooden gun was inserted diagonally. An unusually sharp spear pierced the ground, and a piece of leather was deeply pierced under the spear of one of the war rifles.

The leather is dark red, with jagged edges and signs of tearing. It can be inferred that at that time, the Aaronites must have attacked those capable of destroying their villages by throwing guns in groups. But it is a pity that so many spears only tore off a piece of the opponent's robe. I took this piece of leather out of the gun and found that there was still a metal coil on the interlayer~lightnovelpub.net~ This is a defensive interlayer. The metal coil not only prevents attacks, because it has a certain degree of flexibility. It can also play a buffering effect.

This kind of alloy coil acts as a defensive interlayer clothing that is expensive, at least not everyone can afford it. It can be seen that the ability to attack the Aaronic tribe has some background.

The traces of the battle started from here, and went deep into the dense forest to the southeast for nearly a kilometer. During this journey, a few people found some Aaronic corpses. Some of them suffered severe burns, while others had been eaten by wild animals. But these corpses add up to less than half, and at least 30 of them are missing. And at the edge of the battlefield, there are some irregular marks extending towards a downhill, it looks like the murderer dragged the corpse in that direction.

So a few people followed the traces and the terrain gradually descended, forming a small bend. There is a vertical rock wall with a drop of ten meters at the bend, and there is a trench 100 meters long and ten meters wide under the rock wall. This trench is like a scar on the ground, and on the other side of the trench, a dark cave appears. The drag marks that appeared from the uphill also appeared in the trench and extended into the cave on the other side.

The entrance of the cave was pitch black, as if a giant beast opened its mouth, waiting for its prey to be delivered by itself!
