"I'm back!" In a clearing fifty miles away from Guanhai City, Liu Qiqing was talking to Xiao Wanqing, Wei Liuyin and the others had also arrived here, and even Lu Chen, who was supposed to maintain the operation of the Spirit Array, was sitting on the side meditating and pranayama.

Of course, it was Liu Qiqing who found a few people waiting in the valley after rescuing the trapped people and brought them here. Before Lu Chen left, he also injected a large amount of spiritual power into the spirit array, which was enough to support the spirit array's operation time of about ten minutes.

As for whether the spirit array collapsed after ten minutes, and the trapped desolate beasts were freed, whether they would return to Guanhai City or where they would go, it was not for them to consider. The only thing they were worried about was whether Chen Yuan and Li Chongbing's last task would be successfully completed, after all, it was related to their future, and they couldn't be sloppy.

So after discussion, it was still up to Li Chongbing and Chen Yuan, who had the strongest combat power, to complete this task, if both of them failed, it would be impossible for anyone to succeed. But fortunately, Liu Qiqing took these people who were rescued, and walked a long distance, and he didn't see any desolate beasts chasing after him, thinking that Chen Yuan and the two of them intercepted the 400 desolate beasts outside the city.

From afar, Feng Sanqi looked at the three figures from far and near, quickly approaching in the direction of himself and the others, and couldn't help shouting, there is no doubt that these three figures are Chen Yuan Li Chongbing and Ning Ruthless, who has been following them to prevent accidents.

Feng Sanqi's shout made everyone not only turn their heads to look in the direction he was pointing, but sure enough, they saw Chen Yuan and the three of them running quickly in this direction, and when they got closer, everyone saw the purple-black blood stains on Chen Yuan and Li Chongbing's bodies.

"Wanqing, why are you here?" After meeting everyone, Chen Yuan saw Xiao Wanqing laughing with everyone at first glance, his eyes widened in surprise, and he said in disbelief.

"To tell you the truth, when I was on a mission to guide the trapped people to retreat, I was just as surprised to see her, she was one of the three trapped alchemists in our intelligence, and she was also the youngest alchemist. Liu Qiqing surprisingly did not play the essence of her chatter in this matter this time, but simply told Chen Yuan about it, and Xiao Wanqing, who was on the side, nodded with a smile.

"Fortunately, we succeeded in this mission, if we failed, then what kind of face would we have to meet the city lord!" Chen Yuan patted his forehead weakly, and said with some joy.

"It's been five years, you finally got your wish and became an alchemist, I heard the city lord say before I came, aren't you still in the Dao Academy? So suddenly you ran to the front line, how dangerous it is here!" Chen Yuan asked a little puzzled, he and the city lord of Xiaoqing had learned about Xiao Wanqing's situation, but now that he saw her here, it was obviously different from what the city lord described.

"yes, I haven't seen you in five years. In the past five years, the situation in the Nine Days has become more and more tense, the alien invasion, and some ambitious politicians want to take advantage of the situation to make some small moves, so the whole continent has begun to become turbulent.

But you disappeared at such a critical time, and there was not even a message, if it weren't for the dean saying that you were on a secret mission, I would have thought you were missing!" Xiao Wanqing complained.

Chen Yuan scratched his head a little embarrassed, showed a heartfelt smile and said: "Because it is a confidential task, neither the process nor the result can be revealed, forgive me." ”

Looking at Chen Yuan's embarrassed appearance, Xiao Wanqing burst out laughing, covered her mouth and said with a smile: "It's safe, I won't force you to say it, and I don't blame you, I look at what scared you." ”

She and Chen Yuan met from the talent awakening ceremony, the two of them had similar interests, and soon became friends, sometimes, friends are like this, even if they haven't seen each other for many years, the relationship will not be rusty because of time, a simple complaint, and a long time no see, it is enough to find back the tacit understanding of the year.

"I said big brother, you two have time to catch up with the past, but you tell us whether the mission has succeeded or failed, this large group of people is waiting to hear the news, whether it is dead or alive to give a happy word!" Seeing that the two were talking happily and had no intention of stopping, Feng Sanqi couldn't help but say.

"It's just you, don't you ask the captain?" Chen Yuan scolded helplessly.

"We'd like to ask him, but we obviously can't. Feng Sanqi pointed at Li Chongbing and said.

"Why can't you ······?" Before Chen Yuan finished speaking, he followed the direction pointed by Feng Sanqi and saw Li Chongbing who was meditating and pranayama, and the question in his mouth was immediately swallowed back, the monk was very taboo to be disturbed when pranayama, there was a danger of a riot in the body if the spiritual power ran wrong.

"Yes, I have to say it!" Chen Yuan said in his heart.

"In the final stage of this mission, the captain and I killed all the four hundred desolate beasts that returned, and none of them fell, and the team leader never shot once from beginning to end, so this rescue mission was a complete success, congratulations that we will not be put forward to the team!" Chen Yuan cleared his throat and announced to everyone.

"Oye!" the members of the Nether Ghost Squad cheered. "Be quiet!Captain and Lu Chen are still meditating and pranayama!" Chen Yuan glared at Feng Sanqi, who was roaring loudest, and pointed to the two who were meditating. Everyone hurriedly silenced, but the joy in their eyes could not be hidden.

After resting again, Li Chongbing and Lu Chen also recovered, and the Heavenly Ghost Squad rushed to Shicheng with thousands of people. Because of the ordinary people, the speed of travel was much slower, and the original half-day journey was not completed for a day.

Seeing that the sun was setting in the west, and the sky was darkening, with about a thousand ordinary people who were mostly not cultivators, it was obviously impractical to rush at night, but fortunately, Chen Yuan had the foresight before setting off, so that Ning Wuru returned to Shicheng first, urgently called supplies and tents from the city, and dispatched a part of the army to transport these materials here, which solved the problem of food and accommodation for more than 1,000 people at night.

With the help of the army, thousands of tents were quickly erected, and when night fell, twelve people from the Heavenly Netherworld and three alchemists from the Taoist Academy, a total of fifteen people sat around a fire, chatting in twos and threes, obviously not sleepy.

Li Chongbing was pestered by Feng Sanqi to tell the process of fighting the four hundred desolate beasts during the day, and the two alchemists on the side also listened with great interest, and when they heard the thrilling place, they couldn't help but exhale softly.

Lu Chen felt something about the spirit array in the process of arranging the large-scale formation this time, a person holding a branch and constantly sketching something on the ground, Liao Xun and Han Guangjun couldn't stay idle, and after sitting for a while, they went to patrol with the army that came to transport supplies.

Xia Yan and Agoli are busy communicating with their psychic beasts and cultivating their feelings, Chu Xiang is holding a roast beef leg and eating happily, Liu Qiqing is concentrating on reading, this product seems to be quiet only when reading books, under normal conditions, even if he sleeps and is talking vague dreams, Poison Master Lianluo is still as silent as usual, sitting quietly in the corner alone, staring at the fire, not knowing what he is thinking, and Chen Yuan continued to chat with Xiao Wanqing after settling everything.

"By the way, you don't seem to have told me why you're here? Chen Yuan suddenly remembered the question he had when he saw Xiao Wanqing during the day, it stands to reason that these elite students who have not yet graduated will not be sent to such a dangerous place as the front line before graduation, after all, the academy still needs to train these students.

And unlike the members of the Netherworld Ghost Squad, Chen Yuan and these people are specialized in combat, so it is normal to come to the battlefield to complete tasks and conduct training, and there is also a teacher to escort them.

But the alchemist is different, even within the Daoist Academy, the alchemist is also a scarce resource, generally there are no special circumstances, the Daoist Academy is absolutely impossible to let the alchemist go to the battlefield, once there is any damage, it will be distressed to death, so Chen Yuan is very puzzled by Xiao Wanqing's appearance here.

"We received an urgent task and rushed to the front line of Feiliu City to support, which is one of the three main battlefields of the Youtian Domain against the alien race, and a large number of wild beasts and humanoids are attacking the city every day, although there is the full support of the three main cities of Sogo, Mengyue, and Frost Yu, but because of the elementalized part of the wild beast and humanoids, it has an infectious effect on normal warriors, which greatly weakens the combat effectiveness of the warriors, making them tied up during the battle, for fear of being infected and becoming a member of the enemy. However, this infection can be resolved and prevented by a pill called the Awakening Pill.

There are only two alchemists on the front line who can refine this elixir, but to supply it to thousands of soldiers, it is simply in short supply. Feiliu City had to apply to the domain lord to mobilize alchemists who could refine the Awakening Pill to support the front line, so the domain lord found the dean and asked him to select a few people in the Dao Academy who could refine the Awakening Pill and send them to the front line, and I happened to be able to refine the Awakening Pill, so I was sent.

Supporting the front line for three months, originally we have completed the task, began to return to the academy, but I didn't expect to pass by Guanhai City to rest, and encountered a group of wild beasts attacking the city, the final situation you know, the three of us fought hard and only rescued more than 1,000 people, although Guanhai City is a small city, but the population is more than 30,000.

In the end, only a thousand people survived, and the rest were all killed by the desolate beasts except for a few who fled, and even the blood was sucked dry and used as raw materials to pollute the Nine Heavens Environment, these alien races are really too hateful!"

Xiao Wanqing explained that the Awakening Pill is a very basic elixir, and it is not difficult to refine, but every alchemist has his own alchemy direction, and learning to refine a pill is a very time-consuming thing, so the front line is in short supply, and the alchemists are mobilized from the Taoist Academy to support them for a period of time, and when the original alchemists on the front line learn this pill and can independently refine this elixir, the temporarily seconded alchemists can retire even if the task is completed.

It's not strange that such a thing happened for a long time when the war broke out, but Xiao Wanqing and the others were unlucky, they were trapped on the way back, so they had to ask for help from the academy and wait for rescue.

Knowing the ins and outs of the matter, Chen Yuan couldn't help but sigh that Xiao Wanqing's luck was really against the sky, and such a small probability of being attacked on the return trip could be encountered, this luck was too bad.
