Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 878: 540, The Star Fire

At night, Qing Chen led everyone to find a wind-sheltered place and took a rest on the spot.

The warriors of the Li Family and Qing’s Family dug pits in the snow, each burying themselves in the snow with only a small hole left for breathing, using the snow to ward off the cold wind.

Many people thought, isn’t this even colder? In fact, under the most extreme harsh conditions, this method actually slows down the loss of body temperature.

Moreover, it can also avoid infrared thermal detection from sky reconnaissance drones.

Qing Chen lay silently in the snow pit and suddenly said to Li Cheng, “Lao Lee…”

“Boss, please don’t call me Lao Lee, just call me Li Cheng,” Lao Lee hid in the snow nest to Qing Chen’s left and said with a flattering smile, “What are your orders, boss?”

Qing Chen said, “Next, we need to trek 159 kilometers in three days to reach our target location. We absolutely cannot be late, so you two must work well together. If any of our comrades fall behind, use tree branches to make a stretcher and drag them through the snow.”

Listening to Qing Chen, Lao Lee and Qing Ling suddenly realized that their new boss actually had a very clear plan.

159 kilometers, exactly. It seemed that as long as they reached there, they would no longer have to worry about being hunted by Jindai, as if reaching there meant safety.

Qing Ling asked, “Boss, what’s there?”

Qing Chen thought for a moment and said, “I can’t say now, you’ll know when we get there.”

Lao Lee laughed and said, “Boss’s intelligence is out of our league, we just need to follow orders obediently.”

Qing Ling said, “You old fellow really know how to flatter.”

Lao Lee got angry in the snow pit, “How about a fight now? I’ve disliked you since A02!”

“Come on!” Qing Ling said.

“Afraid of you? Let’s do this!”

“Ha, you come on!”

Qing Chen couldn’t help but laugh, Lao Lee and Qing Ling were of similar age, and neither was submissive to the other.

After a long while of provocation, neither wanted to come out of their snow nest, given that it was so hard to build.

Two mouth warriors.

Qing Chen thought for a moment and said, “You two stop arguing, if you’re really idle, I can have Jindai Yunzi and Takahashi Izumi perform talents for you, how about that? Lao Lee, I’ll have Jindai Yunzi substitute Qing Ling in bowing to you three times. Qing Ling, I’ll have Takahashi Izumi substitute Lao Lee in bowing to you three times. Let’s move on, sleep now.”

Lao Lee: “…”

Qing Ling: “…”

They suddenly felt that their new boss’s train of thought seemed a bit off!

Not far away, Jindai Yunzi and Takahashi Izumi lay motionless in their snow pits, their hearts crumbling even more. As officers of the Jindai Consortium’s military, how have they fallen to this state?

And those warriors hidden in the snow, although cold, felt extremely relieved listening to this unrestrained chatter.

In the days at the A02 base, even farting had to be cautious, who dared to say more?

Now, although lying in the snow, they were happy talking about anything.

This is the meaning of freedom.

However, just at that moment, Qing Chen suddenly held his breath, “Silence.”

Everyone froze.

A few minutes later, Qing Chen said, “There’s an engine sound above, a reconnaissance plane should’ve just passed.”

Lao Lee and Qing Ling were stunned. Reconnaissance planes usually fly at an altitude of 3000 meters or more, how could he hear the engine sound? Superhuman hearing?

However, they unconditionally trusted Qing Chen at this point.

Qing Ling hesitated for a moment and finally asked, “Commander, can we really evade those two field divisions? There’s a taboo land to the south, should we pass through it to evade them? Is that your plan?”

At this moment, Qing Chen said something that shocked the two, “No need to evade.”

“What?” Lao Lee almost sat up from the snow pit in shock, “Boss, are we going to fight them to the death?”

“No,” Qing Chen recalled his words to Xiao Zhenji and suddenly smiled, “I have a master.”

“What?” Lao Lee and Qing Ling were even more confused.

Uncle Li once told Qing Chen that he would lead him on the longest path among all shortcuts in the world.

But the master never said that the path would never be lonely.

Qing Chen suddenly asked, “After escaping, do you want to do something with me?”

Lao Lee and Qing Ling were silent for a moment, unsure what their boss meant.

How come we haven’t escaped yet, and he’s already thinking about the post-escape?

Qing Ling asked, “Boss, what do you want to do?”

Qing Chen smiled and said, “The Star Fire.”

…

…

In the darkness, inside Taboo Land No. 138, 60 kilometers away from the field division’s military camp, someone was walking deeper and smearing Feng Junhua pollen on themselves.

This Feng Junhua is a unique secret of Fire Pit, few people know that by applying it, as long as rules are not violated inside the taboo land, no beasts, insects, or plants will attack.

The Grand Elder muttered as he walked deeper into the taboo land, “I’m just here to help, and now Uncle Li Dong has gone somewhere, making me work like a slave! Is there no justice?”

“Any knights who come to Fire Pit in the future will never taste our barley wine again! Not a drop!”

“And they shouldn’t expect to see our Goddess either!”

The Grand Elder muttered while watching carefully.

Through the forest, he saw a herd of Kui Bulls with ice-blue fur resting on the ground.

If anyone argued about the familiarity with the taboo land, Fire Pit claiming third, no one would dare claim second, not even Hu’s Information Agency.

As for first, certainly Uncle Li Dong…

The Grand Elder knew this well.

At this time, the Grand Elder silently counted while hiding, “One head, two heads… one hundred forty heads, not sure if it’s enough.”

While speaking, suddenly, a Kui Bull opened its eyes the size of a cauldron and looked at the Grand Elder.

Suddenly, the Grand Elder pulled out a small bottle from his brown waist bag and poured the estrus female deity bull urine on the ground.

Next moment, the originally quiet Kui Bulls all became agitated.

They stared at the Grand Elder, panting heavily.

The Grand Elder turned and ran while holding the bottle, “What bad deeds did I do in a past life to be punished by the gods and encounter knights in this life!”

The Grand Elder ran faster and faster, not daring to pause.

…

…

230 kilometers south of Qing Chen and his group, a field division just established a forward base here to set up their supply line for deeper northern penetration.

The base was brightly lit and tightly guarded.

Hundreds of mechanical hunting dogs roamed around the military camp, patrolling the predetermined paths.

Suddenly, a faint smell drifted from the upwind snowfield, like a urine stench, fleeting.

Mechanical hunting dogs stopped and sniffed around.

However, the smell was not hostile and was not in their program’s alert sequence, so the mechanical hunting dogs returned to normal soon.

In the command tent, field division combat aides busily sorted documents: holographic terrain map, fleet attack review, Qing Shan Falcon combat strength assessment, and strategizing against Qing Shan Falcon.

A war is complex and strategic.

The field division’s order was to annihilate all living humans in the Northern Snowfield. Initially, they thought it was those escapees from the A02 base. Now it seemed the higher-ups withheld information from them.

Otherwise, why would Qing Shan Falcon be here?

Just then, thunderous drum sounds and iron hoofs echoed from the snowfield.

Someone in the command tent frowned and questioned, “What’s going on? Why are there drum sounds here!”

Someone went to check at the camp edge, but in the heavy snow, nothing could be seen outside the darkened camp perimeter.

Yet, the next moment, an old man holding a bottle was seen rushing toward the field division camp at speed, leaving an afterimage!

Moreover, there were one hundred forty-seven mad Kui Bulls behind him, somehow running out of the taboo land!

The officer on night duty yelled, “Open fire, don’t let the Kui Bulls charge the camp!”

Jindai’s army wasn’t foolish; they were elite regular troops!

In the camp, multi-functional infantry fighting vehicles were always on alert. If a round of concentrated fire was launched, even a Demigod would be turned into a sieve!

The old man saw the matrix cannon barrels of the multi-functional infantry fighting vehicles already aiming at him and panicked, yelling while charging, “Attack!”

At that moment, on the distant peak, Lin Xiaoxiao sat in the snow with closed eyes, Ye Wan quietly guarding him, “Boss said, don’t force yourself if you can’t do it.”

Lin Xiaoxiao smiled with closed eyes, “You know, I have never tried this method before but thinking about those people locking Qing Chen in a pigsty makes me uncontrollably angry. That boy endured so much suffering, why can’t he have smooth sailing?”

Suddenly, he gently rubbed his forehead with his hand, drawing a blood wound.

Lin Xiaoxiao calmly said, “Nightmare!”

These two words thundered in the void.

Lin Xiaoxiao’s eyes suddenly seeped blood tears from the corners!

At that moment, the old man saw the military officer opposite him in the camp suddenly closing his eyes and falling asleep.

The matrix cannon barrels of the multi-functional infantry fighting vehicles ceased turning.

The drones launching were paralyzed as their controllers suddenly fell asleep.

Lin Xiaoxiao forcibly cast Nightmare, causing nearly half of the field division’s soldiers to sleep for one second!

One second is enough to change many things.

He only needed one second!

Next moment, the military officers woke up and scrambled. The soldiers in multi-functional infantry fighting vehicles also woke up and hurriedly operated again.

But the Grand Elder of Fire Pit had already laughed aloud, “One second is enough!”

He quickly stepped on the snowfield, drew out his Black Knife, and slashed!

“Get open!” roared the Grand Elder.

The Black Knife suddenly emitted a majestic blade aura that slashed open the camp’s defensive fortifications, creating a meter-deep crack in the ground!

The dominance of this blade was like an avalanche from the Fire Pit Saint Mountain’s snow suddenly collapsing and rolling down, causing a massive avalanche.

…

…

In the Northern Snowfield, Qing Chen lay in the icy nest and suddenly said, “Let me teach you a song.”

“What?” Qing Ling didn’t know what his new boss was up to.

Qing Chen sang, “Arise, slaves who are starving and freezing.”

“Arise, all the suffering people of the world.”

“Our full hearts are boiling with hot blood.”

“We must fight for truth.”

“Never has there been any savior.”

“Nor rely on gods or emperors.”

Li Cheng and Qing Ling suddenly had tears in their eyes, not knowing why.
