"Finally someone's here... I thought you were just going to leave me alone, tsk..."

Xin shook his hands and turned away.

after a while……

The outer area of ​​the dead end.

"Oh, what a distinguished guest! A general has come! You really think too highly of me..."

Xin had a smile on his face, but there were flashes of light in his eyes, as cunning as a fox, and a hint of coldness.

"Major Xin, you're joking. There's a huge difference in rank between the Staff Army and the Defense Army. According to the regulations, Major Xin and I are of the same rank."

The middle-aged man smiled, his expression somewhat calm. He heard the sarcasm in Xin's words, but did not care.

Xin's eyes flashed slightly. The general was right. The levels of both parties were the same.

In fact, since the officers of the Scepter Army can directly command the Defense Army as equals, but the officers of the Defense Army cannot interfere with the Scepter Army, Xin's status is actually higher than that of the major general in front of him.

What's more, she's about to be promoted...

As for why she said that...

The smile on Xin's face faded, and then he said softly with a calm expression

"Now that you understand... then leave."

"Major Xin, I'm here..."

A flash of cold light passed by and passed directly past the middle-aged major general's face, and a line of blood quietly emerged.

In the distance, a short knife was nailed directly to the ground and sunk into the snow. The sharp cold light made people shudder.

"roll."

A voice fell, Xin's eyes were cold, her attitude was rude, even to the major general it was an insult.

However, the middle-aged major general remained expressionless. He spread out one hand and reminded

"Major Xin, you've crossed the line."

"Although New Ailidu has seventeen military districts, less than half of them are permanently stationed. You have now mobilized an entire military district for such a trivial matter."

The middle-aged major general shook his head slightly and continued

"Furthermore, this action has not been approved by the committee, and has not even been notified to the higher authorities. Major Xin, you will be court-martialed for this."

Listening to these words, Xin just said calmly

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll kill you."

The snowflakes fell on her pink hair, like frost dotted on plum blossoms. Instead of looking gentle, she looked proud.

Xin was not going to be polite to the person who came to cause trouble from the beginning. She was even too lazy to be polite to him. It was a pure waste of her time.

As the words fell, the middle-aged major general's pupils shrank involuntarily, and his expression changed slightly. He did not doubt the authenticity of Xin's words.

Killing someone in the military is undoubtedly a serious crime, let alone someone of his status, but...

The middle-aged major general knew a lot about Xin. He knew that although this guy had a lot of conflicts with the family, as the most talented of the younger generation, she never minded using the power of the family.

This is also why she dared to mobilize a military region.

So even if she really did what she said, she would be kept alive at a great cost, or even just fired.

Many people wouldn't mind doing a favor. He knew those people. At least, they wouldn't do anything else for a dead person.

The middle-aged major general was silent for a moment. Faced with Xin's use of force and naked threats, he finally chose to take a step back.

It's not worth it to risk your life just for a little initiative.

The middle-aged major general left with a cold face. Xin did not give him a good look, so he would not maintain the same attitude as at the beginning.

Seeing this, Xin just curled the corners of her mouth. The current situation was not beyond her expectations.

"Tsk, aren't you afraid that he will really confront you head-on?"

Xun Ming, who had seen the entire confrontation between Jiang Xin and the middle-aged man, walked over and asked curiously.

Xin's attitude is really too tough. Although this is just her personality, the person she is facing this time is not simple either.

This is a general, a top figure in the New Ailidu military.

"Ha ha……"

Xin sneered and shook his head, saying softly

"How could these powerful people have the determination and courage to fight to the death? Especially for something as unimportant as this..."

"That's true."

Xun Ming nodded, then asked Xin:

"Xin, someone just reported something was happening in the core area of ​​the Dead End Void. I think you should be heading there next, right?"

"Can you take me there?"

Xun Ming blinked, acting cute for his own purposes.

Seeing this, Xin said helplessly

"What are you going to do? They didn't say they found a fire gatherer, just a huge crystal gathering area."

"Oh, since the ether crystal hasn't dissipated, it must be related to the Fire Pickers. As the Fire Pickers' spokesperson, I must go and see for myself."

Hearing this, Xin frowned slightly.

Huh? Didn't you say you were going to meet the Fire Gatherers and become their spokesperson? Why are you already proclaiming yourself that position when you haven't even met them yet?

"Hurry, hurry, let's go!"

Before Xin could agree, Xun Ming dragged her towards the core area of ​​the Dead End Cave. Xin had no choice but to nod and follow her reluctantly.

……

The core area of ​​the dead end cave.

Compared to the snow outside that was covered with footprints, the shallow snow here looked much more perfect and whiter.

Standing in the core area is a huge hill of ether crystals. The various raised crystals are straight and hard, which is very strange.

Strands of faint light emanate, making people feel a chill different from the air temperature. A strong sense of oppression emanates from it, as if this crystalline hill does not allow anyone to approach.

A hundred meters away from the crystal, the defense forces were on alert, and Xin was standing in the snow, silently watching the spectacle before him.

"Wow! This letter really won't disappear!"

Next to Xin, Xun Ming was looking surprised and curiously observing the ether crystal in front of him.

In her previous common sense, ether crystals were different from ether matter. Once ether crystals left the void, they would turn into ether energy and dissipate due to changes in the external environment.

But this is clearly not the case at the moment.

After all, the dead end hole is long gone.

"Should we take a closer look?"

Xun Ming turned his head to look at Xin and made a suggestion.

"Well, this thing might have been left by the Fire Gatherer..."

Xin nodded slightly. Xuan Li did not look for her after he disappeared in the dead end cave, so she had no news about him now.

Moreover, the identity of the person on the call has not been ascertained yet, so she is not sure whether it is Xuan Li himself or someone else related to Xuan Li.

Both the Cunning Rabbit House and Baizhi Heavy Industry are suspects. Although the robot tried hard to cover it up, there are still flaws.
