"Ah, I'm exhausted."

At dawn on March 25, 796 in the new calendar of the free world, Duan Qing, who once again welcomed the dawn, appeared in front of Duan Qing again, dragging his feet back to the camp, covered with scars and stained with all kinds of blood and hair all over his body, he also completely ignored his embarrassment at this time, and lay on the grass as soon as he threw the knife: "Leave me something to eat, and then leave me alone." ”

"At least drink some water first." The one who answered him was Duan Qing, who had been sitting here for a long time, and the action of stirring the alchemy crucible did not stop in the slightest: "How do you feel?" ”

"I don't want to remember this again in my life." He waved his hand weakly, and the figure of Asahi Dongsheng lying on the ground with big characters in large characters again also appeared a little dead at this time: "Although I am also a belligerent, and I have seen many killing scenes in the virtual world, but let me fight in that group of beasts all night, and it is still such a tragic battle with such casualties......"

"What, how many casualties are there on the Hulun side?" Duan Qing, who was staring at him for a moment, raised his eyebrows twice: "I thought their iron cavalry was invincible and invincible." ”

"The iron cavalry of the Hulun tribe is indeed very powerful."

As if mentioning what he had been paying attention to, Asahi tilted his head with a heavy face: "Including those archers, ballistas, and those ordinary warriors who have been participating in the battle, each of them is at least at the level of 60 or above, but in such a meat grinder battlefield, they are just consumables used to fill the battlefield." ”

"In the face of a beast tide of that magnitude, no commander or leader would dare to say that he could bring down the casualty figures." The eyes of the one-armed player became straightened, and the one-armed player's tone became slighter: "Hyenas, wolves, and then foxes, lions, demon leopards, giant elephants, orangutans, rats, flying insects, demonic creatures, and all sorts of strange creatures that don't look like each other...... As long as you go in and hang out for the night, you can experience my mood at this time. ”

"I won't go, most of the results of my going to mix all night will be directly hung back." Duan Qing replied motionlessly, "But you once again made me admire, you were able to come back alive." ”

"I'm not that powerful, it's just that those Hulun people took care of me a little bit." Asahi Dongsheng also said motionlessly: "They try to take care of my left side, because the one-arm causes my attack and defense on this side to be a little slower than others, and these people have indeed taught me a lot of things in battle, including the identification of battle formations, how to maintain my balance between attack and defense, the tips of fighting with a knife in one hand, and how to cooperate with their advance and retreat ......."

"That's why I'm going to let you go to their team." The action of stirring the alchemy cauldron in his hand stopped for a moment, and Duan Qing replied in a low voice: "With your ability to mix with the three sects and nine streams, you can definitely grow in this battle, even if it will make you go through death, at least you can replace the broken arm." ”

"Traversing death? I won't. With a disdainful snort, Chao Ri Dongsheng tilted his head and replied: "Lao Tzu will not die once, Lao Tzu still thinks that the title of one-armed warrior is very handsome, and when Lao Tzu sleeps for a day, he will be a good man at night!" ”

"So the end of the battle is temporary?" Finally looking up at the team of the Hulun tribe who were still staggering back under the dawn that had not completely dissipated the smoke of gunpowder in the distance and the breeze on the grassland, Duan Qing continued to ask in a low voice, "The beast tide has only faded temporarily, right?" ”

"Of course, there are countless herds, and they are all in order, attacking in turn, how can you believe that we can actually repel them?" Asahi replied with a look of reason: "None of the leaders of the beasts died, not even the Beth beast that was knocked to the ground by the ballista at first—uh no, the beast spear, later escaped alive. ”

“…… It seems that Hu Mobei's words at the beginning were true. A thoughtful look flashed in his eyes, and Duan Qing sighed unconsciously: "Being able to block tonight's attack is already our victory." ”

"Those bosses are more powerful than the other, at least they are all boss-level characters." Putting away his slightly excited voice, Asahi Dongsheng also commented indifferently: "Although they are protected by the small soldiers in their beast clan, their ability and intelligence are obviously higher than other enemies, even if they gather the Hulun clan's battle formation and the assistance of various weapons and tools, it is very difficult to really kill one." ”

"I know, because I've experienced it somewhat." Lowering his head again, Duan Qing then returned his attention to the alchemy in front of him: "If Hu Mobei hadn't sent me away later, I might have been able to contact a few more bosses." ”

"Hu Mobei, the powerless one, didn't die?" Asahi Dongsheng showed a surprised look instead: "I thought that guy had been stabbed to death by the stinging needles of the Flying Insect Group a long time ago, but most of the southern front of the Northern Army died because of them—wait." ”

"You're just coming back?" As if he had just noticed the hidden information in the other party's voice, the one-armed warrior suddenly turned over his body: "What about the information that was promised?" ”

"Naturally, there is information, because I have seen something weird." Duan Qing replied with an unimpressed expression: "Although we still don't know what the shields that came from nowhere they represent, they are indeed very powerful, even if the Wind Demon Wolf Leader's full force blows, the hasty response cannot be pierced. ”

"That guy probably didn't want outsiders to see this scene, so he ordered me to be evicted." Speaking of this, the gray-robed magician sighed again: "Really, I look like one of those people who don't know anything? It's nothing for me to watch it a little longer—"

"Hey, in the end, I have to rely on me to collect information alone?" So Asahi Dongsheng also lay back back with an unhappy face: "I won't suffer anything because of you, right?" ”

"I don't know."

His hand started other movements, and Duan Qing, who was staring at the surface of the crucible in front of him, subconsciously replied: "And that guy didn't make it clear, we can try again at night, anyway, the beast tide won't be so good, they will definitely come over at night, right?" ”

"Maybe it won't wait until the evening, and we'll call in a while." Asahi Dongsheng replied breathlessly: "With this level of attack, our front will collapse after three rounds at most—isn't there any other way for the Hulun tribe?" Or is there another way on our side? ”

"I don't know if the Hulun tribe has a follow-up move and a killer move, but I've been working hard." Shaking his head slightly, Duan Qing's face began to fade at this time because of the constant flickering and rising of the liquid in the crucible: "According to the plan we discussed before, Ling Bing went to other places to collect clues, materials and materials overnight, although those blue-blooded grass, Cecilia flowers, and other things were not completely collected, but now they are almost collected." ”

"Don't look at me like that, I must have bought it back for a lot of money." As if noticing the face of Asahi Dongsheng looking back, the gray-robed magician continued in a helpless tone: "Since we don't have time to go out to find it, we can only exchange it for money, and this is only obtained by using the prestige that Gedmayne has accumulated in various forces for a long time to persuade the Chamber of Commerce and the people of the Hulun tribe to let us go." ”

"That'...... What about things? ”

"In the pot in front of me."

Pointing to the crucible in front of him, Duan Qing answered the other party's question as a matter of course: "That old man Elder has already told me how to reconcile, but there are still a few materials missing, so I want to try to find other alternatives——"

"Hey, you're wasting our valuable rewards." Interrupting Duan Qing's words, Asahi Dongsheng asked in disbelief, "How many materials are there?" Is it enough for you to squander so much? ”

"Don't worry, I've had a lot of experience with the elemental reactions in the alchemy process over the past few years." Duan Qing casually waved his hand in the direction where the other party was: "As long as you can control the degree of reaction and suppress the time of reaction, there is no problem in keeping the existing semi-finished products." ”

"It's all come to this, what's the use of you still thinking about doing this task?" Putting away his desire to continue preaching, Asahi Dongsheng then withdrew his gaze from Duan Qing: "Could it be that saving Surtu can reverse the situation in front of you?" Don't give up on what you need. ”

"I won't say anything more important than the other, but I'm just sticking to the path I've always been sticking to." Saying this inexplicable answer, Duan Qing continued the work in front of him without raising his head: "Anyway, there is nothing to do in the tent, isn't it fragrant to study another possibility?" Fighting a war and using force can solve the problem, but completing the task does not necessarily mean that the problem cannot be solved. ”

"Regardless of the special existence of Humobei, the whole clan of the Hulun clan is much more powerful than the entire clan of the Nasu tribe." As if he had found a suitable and interesting topic, Asahi Dongsheng, who had been tired and painful, sat up from the ground: "Those warriors and generals of the Northern Army, each of them is more powerful than Surtu, I don't understand what hope you have for the so-called solution, dragging them to the battlefield is almost equivalent to sending them to death." ”

"I don't want to wake up Surtu to drag them to the battlefield, I'm trying to solve the mystery." Duan Qing replied in a low voice: "Maybe you don't think the truth hidden behind the Surtu incident has any significance, but this is the intersection of clues that I have investigated along the way, and opening up this point may also bring unexpected results." “

"I still don't believe in this kind of thing like yours." After looking at the gray-robed magician for a long time, Chao Sun Dongsheng finally turned over and lay down again: "I'm the one who has experienced a night of beast tide and sat here alive, I don't think those threads in our hands can bring us any benefits to turn the tables." ”

"That's the gap between you and me." Saying this sentence with a smile, bubbles began to bubble up on the surface of the crucible that Duan Qing was still staring at: "Study hard, as an elder, your intuition as an elder is not something that young people like you can learn casually." ”

"Hmph, it's not that I'm admitting my age." Putting on a sleeping posture on the ground, the disdainful voice of the rising sun and the rising sun that turned his back also sounded muffledly: "Don't easily resist the title of 'uncle' in the future, uncle." ”

"I'm talking about playtime and virtual world experience, not your actual age." Carefully lifting the bubbling crucible, Duan Qing replied with a smile on his face: "Forget it, I don't know what to do, anyway, the division of labor between us is quite clear, you just have to complete your tasks." ”

"As long as you will believe me, I will believe you."

After saying this inexplicable sentence, the gray-robed magician then walked in the direction where the Northern Army was collecting troops without looking back: "Before that-"

"It's up to you to guard Nahia."

*********************************

"Boy, why are you here?"

After a while, in the Hulun clan, an old man's impatient voice suddenly sounded under the creaking windmill: "Last night's beast attack didn't kill you?" ”

"Are you just looking forward to my death?" The one who answered him was a strange cry belonging to Duan Qing: "I still want to go to the frontline battlefield to die, but I haven't been driven back by the elders of your clan...... By the way, how do you know about the beast tide? ”

"Everyone in this group knows something, why don't I know?" The sound of the door closing then sounded, and the voice of the old man became much duller: "That is, you foreigners still don't know anything about this heavenly punishment, and you are still wandering around outside at this time. ”

"You don't even hide this kind of thing from us, and you're still not human?" What answered him was Duan Qing's even more helpless cry and a muffled sound piled on the table: "We're still trying to give you some help within our ability—what you want." ”

"What do I want? What is this? Alder sniffed at the table, "This is ...... Blue-blooded grass and ...... Are those materials I specify? I want the original! How do you boil them? ”

"Sorry, because we didn't collect all the materials." Nodding his head, Duan Qing replied helplessly: "In order to save time, by the way, let the female head of our family have fewer black lines on her face because of excessive expenses, so I will do them all on my own initiative." ”

"Of course, using my little 'negligible' alchemy knowledge." The corners of his mouth pulled out an inexplicable smile, and the gray-robed magician pushed forward with both hands: "The substitutes are all made by myself, the effect should be pretty good, you can check it." ”

“…… All right. After looking at each other with hanging eyes for a while, the old man finally took the crucible: "Anyway, you and him are your own people." ”

"At your own risk."
