Chapter 167: Seeking Intelligence
Just as Ning Wuru said, it only took a day and a half for the Six-Winged Flying Jiao to send everyone safely to their destination, the closest city to Guanhai City, the name of this city is very ordinary, it is called Stone City, and the army stationed here is the army of Empty Rain City. Approaching dusk, a group of people came here, and Ning Wuru naturally found the general defending the city as soon as possible, explaining the intention of coming this time, and hoping that Shicheng could cooperate.
For the people from the Taoist Academy, the guard generals of Shicheng were very polite and cooperative, and arranged a residence for everyone very enthusiastically, and expressed their full cooperation with the team in the rescue work.
At the temporary residence of Shicheng, Ning ruthlessly went alone to learn about the battle situation on the front line, while Chen Yuan and his party stayed at the residence, discussing the battle plan of this rescue mission. "Captain, what should we do this time? Shall we kill them directly, or should we first find the location of the trapped people? However, the information given by Chief Liu is not detailed, and it does not explain the specific number of desolate beasts this time, and is it difficult to deal with the desolate beasts? Can the twelve of us complete the task?" Liu Qiqing couldn't help but ask, after so many years, his problem with talking didn't seem to have been reduced much, and as soon as he spoke, it was like a series of cannonballs, and he kept thinking about it in fragments.
"You stop me! Now the information is incomplete, we can't act rashly, this mission involves our future, and there are thousands of lives, we must not take it lightly, Chen Yuan, what do you think?" Li Chongbing reluctantly interrupted Liu Qiqing's words, and turned his head to ask Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan and Li Chongbing glanced at each other and said, "Scout first, then make a plan!" Li Chongbing nodded, which was exactly what he was thinking.
"That's it, Feng Sanqi, Xia Yan, Lu Chen, the three of you immediately go to Guanhai City to investigate the specific situation of the enemy, Xia Yan observes the branch of the desolate beast in the city in the air, Feng Sanqi investigates the approximate number of desolate beasts, and Lu Chen finds out the location of the trapped people as quickly as possible.
Remember to keep yourself safe and go back as soon as possible. Li Chongbing quickly made overall arrangements, and at this time, the importance of the captain was immediately highlighted, and he commanded the team's actions in an orderly manner.
Li Chongbing's arrangement can be said to be very reasonable, giving full play to the abilities that these three people are good at. Xia Yan can obtain the ability to fly through the soul fusion and the eyesight bonus of eagle beasts, which is suitable for observing the distribution of the desolate beast group in the city, Feng Sanqi's speed is among the best in the team, wandering around the city, and the approximate number of desolate beasts is also handy, not to mention Lu Chen, he is the most outstanding spirit array master of the Daoist Academy, and it is obviously very easy to sense the special fluctuations of the spirit array, and it is not a problem to determine the location of the trapped people.
The three people who were named agreed and planned to set off for Guanhai City. At this time, Chen Yuan stood up and said: "I'll go with me, I have a way to hide my body, if possible, I want to investigate the cultivation realm and strength of these desolate beasts, if we have such information, I believe that our mission this time will be relatively easy to complete." ”
Li Chongbing thought about it for a while, didn't ask much, and nodded in agreement. Because he understands Chen Yuan's character, he hardly does anything that he is not sure of, and since he has stood up on his own, it means that he has already made up his mind about this matter.
So the four of them greeted Ning ruthlessly, and then set off for Guanhai City. The distance from Shicheng to Guanhai City, with the speed of Chen Yuan's four people, it takes half a day, and the four of them rushed overnight, and came to the vicinity of Guanhai City in the early morning of the next day.
The scale of this city is not large, at most it is a small town, covering an area of less than 2,000 acres, the north of the city and the west of the city is a plain, there is not the slightest shelter, the distance of the south of the city is less than 100 miles to the south, is the new border line, the two ends of the border line are muddy and dark, lifeless and clear, vigorous and clear.
The east side is a hilly area, the terrain is more complicated, Chen Yuan and the four people are hiding here, secretly observing the Guanhai City not far away. Now the city of Guanhai has been completely captured, there are deep traces of beast claws on the walls on all sides, and the city gate is also broken, revealing the streets inside, from which you can faintly see the wild beasts roaming in the city.
"According to the original plan, Sanqi previously investigated the number of desolate beasts in the city, Xia Yan took to the air after Sanqi entered the city to observe the general distribution of desolate beasts, and then told me. As for Lu Chen, when Sanqi enters the city to attract the attention of most of the desolate beasts, sneak into the city quietly, find the location of the trapped people, and once you find the location, immediately mark it on the map, and quickly exit the city.
Remember, this investigation must focus on safety, especially Sanqi, although you are fast, you must save spiritual power, in the city, you must know how to use the building and terrain, get stuck in the dead corner of the beast, and withdraw immediately after the rough statistics, understand?" Chen Yuan handed Lu Chen a map, and solemnly instructed everyone, Li Chongbing was not there, Chen Yuan temporarily became the core of the four people, and arranged everyone's tasks in an orderly manner.
Xia Yan didn't say anything, he decisively took off and approached Guanhai City, and began to observe the specific distribution of the desolate beasts in the city, he also held a piece of paper and a pen in his hand, watching the situation in the city and constantly sketching something on the map.
The pen and paper in Xia Yan's hand was given to him by Chen Yuan on the way from Stone City to Guanhai City, so that Xia Yan could quickly record the location of the desolate beasts in the city after taking off.
The habits of the beasts are similar to those of the beasts, each group of beasts will produce a leader, and different groups of beasts will often not gather in the same place. The number of desolate beast groups is generally no more than 1,000, which means that according to the information given by Liu Yanan, there is more than one desolate beast group participating in the siege of alchemists and people.
As for the strength of the wild beasts, the general strength of the wild beasts in the beast group will not be very different, only the strength of the wild beasts leading the beast group will be higher, as long as it is determined that there are several wild beast groups in the city, the strength of the beast group, each beast group can know if you test a wild beast at will.
"Don't worry, Chen Yuan, everyone is very serious this time, and nothing will go wrong! But we all have a mission, when are you going to go in? If you want to roughly observe the strength of the desolate beast, it should take the longest time. Feng Sanqi gave Chen Yuan a reassuring look and asked Chen Yuan again.
"I, of course I'm the first to go in!" After Chen Yuan finished speaking, he used the power of qi and blood, and cast a butterfly shape, a pair of transparent wings spread out from Chen Yuan's back, slowly wrapping Chen Yuan in it, and after a while, Chen Yuan's whole person disappeared in front of Feng Sanqi and the others.
"This, what kind of trick is this?Chen Yuan, Chen Yuan, are you still there?So there is such a magical skill?" Feng Sanqi's eyes widened suddenly, Feng Sanqi tried to call Chen Yuan, such a metamorphosis skill that disappeared in place was really amazing.
"I'm still here, I'm just refracting the sunlight shining on me into the shape of the ground in a special way, so that I can fool people's eyes, and with my newly cultivated breathing technique, I can disappear in place. I've entered the city, and you're looking for an opportunity to enter the city. At this time, Xia Yan had already finished scouting, Chen Yuan appeared in the same place, took the drawing of the general distribution of the beasts handed by Xia Yan, and briefly explained the principle of his disappearance, and then disappeared.
Although they roughly understood the principle, Feng Sanqi and the others were still shocked by Chen Yuan. "I didn't expect that he would have another opportunity in the past five years to master such a magical move, no wonder he was sure that he wanted to investigate the strength of the desolate beasts in the city. Lu Chen couldn't help but sigh, he hadn't seen him for many years, and he couldn't help but feel that Chen Yuan's had become more and more mysterious.
While the three of them sighed that Chen Yuan had strong opportunities over the years, Chen Yuan had already crossed the dilapidated city gate and came to Guanhai City, hiding in a deserted shop.
Seven herds! This is a bit difficult to do, Chen Yuan looked at the seven clearly marked areas on the distribution map, and his brows couldn't help but furrow. Although the desolate beast herd is generally more than 100 but not 1,000, but the seven beast herds mean that if you are unlucky, all the big beasts in the city are more than 500 in number, and it is difficult to complete this rescue mission by relying on the strength of the twelve people of the Netherworld Ghost Squad, after all, there are too many desolate beasts.
"No matter, let's find out the approximate strength of these seven beasts first. Seeing that there were as many as seven beasts entrenched in this city, although Chen Yuan had a headache, of course he still had to save people, and the task still had to be completed, so Chen Yuan put away the distribution map and walked towards the nearest beast gathering place to him.
Here Chen Yuan has already begun to act, Feng Sanqi also set off after waiting for a while, he needs to leave enough time for Chen Yuan to collect the strength data of each beast group, but now it has been a full three quarters of an hour since Chen Yuan set off to enter the city, and it is estimated that Chen Yuan's work of collecting intelligence is also nearing the end, Feng Sanqi used the spiritual power in his body, and rushed to the Guanhai City in front of him at an extremely fast speed.
"Click" Chen Yuan quietly twisted off the neck of the sheep-shaped beast, carefully avoided the place where it was elementalized, and slowly put the body of the beast on the ground. Then he took out the map of the distribution of wild beasts from his bosom and ticked the last of the seven gathering areas.
"Boom" A low roar sounded, and half of the ground in Guanhai City shook, feeling that powerful wind attribute spiritual power, a smile appeared on the corner of Chen Yuan's mouth, he knew that Feng Sanqi had come in.
At this time, in a large auditorium in the center of Guanhai City, thousands of people were huddled together, and they also clearly felt the shaking of the earth, and some timid people had already begun to tremble, and even began to cry bitterly.
"Be quiet, do you want to attract the beasts?" said a young man in a monastery costume standing on the steps and whispering. The people below immediately stopped talking, after all, no one wanted to be eaten by the wild beast.
"Don't be afraid, we have successfully sent a distress signal to the Taoist Academy, I believe that it will not be long before someone will come to save us, at this time, everyone must not be chaotic, calm down, quietly waiting for rescue is the best way. A girl who was also dressed in a monastery costume spoke out to comfort everyone.
If Chen Yuan was here, he would definitely be able to recognize that this girl was Xiao Wanqing, who was also from Weiqing City and was the pearl of the city lord.
