Chapter 47: Victory! and exploring the Blood Lake
"You kid, don't think that if you save Lao Tzu, you can disrespect your elders, believe it or not, I will whip you?" Lao Zhou scolded with a smile, with a slight force, and struggled off Chen Pingping's shoulder.
"That's not possible, just kidding you to be shocked!" Chen Pingping immediately shook his head and said with a smile.
"This time I really have to accept your life-saving grace, if you don't appear, the consequences will be unimaginable!" Lao Zhou Jian slashed and killed an attacking five-grade monster, and he was still afraid.
He didn't hold it out, and it was still no problem to kill the seven grades.
"Therefore, you will not be held accountable for trespassing here." He continued.
"Your kid is really bold, don't you want to die? No, let's talk about this when we go back! ”
Chen Pingping couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Co-author, just after speaking, don't pursue it, turn around, you won't admit it?!" ”
"No way, your kid is too bold, I don't teach you a good lesson, I'm always worried that you will play yourself to death in the future!" Lao Zhou said with a dark face.
In fact, until now, he couldn't believe that Chen Pingping, a mere second-realm martial artist, dared to go deep into here alone!
This courage is more than describeable, it's just deadly!
"I think you better take a break and command the army to retreat, this time the large army came to the rescue, the battle line is completely chaotic, it is estimated that at least five kilometers will be retreated, and the battle line will be re-advanced." Chen Pingping reminded.
"Retreat is a trivial matter, there is something wrong with that blood-colored lake ahead!" Lao Zhou looked ahead with jealousy.
At this moment, countless monsters are jumping into the blood lake, and there are also countless monsters rushing out of the blood lake, and the healing effect of the blood lake on the monsters is already obvious.
"This is an unknown small lake in ancient Nanjing City, with a radius of about ten miles, I didn't expect such a strange situation to occur." Lao Zhou groaned.
"I suspect that the monster or some kind of will that controls the monster tide is in this blood lake, and even, according to the strange healing effect of this blood lake, maybe there is a big problem with this blood lake itself!"
It's finally close to the correct answer, isn't it......
Chen Pingping secretly praised Lao Zhou, and suggested: "I suggest, it's better for us to slowly advance the front, it's better to be safe, in case it's really like you said, it's the problem of this Blood Lake, then once the will of the Blood Lake is disintegrated, so many remaining monsters will be in a state of no one to control." ”
"Then, once they are scattered, the low-level martial artists of the three surrounding base cities will be unlucky, hunt a first- or second-grade monster outside the city, and suddenly jump out of a sixth-grade or seventh-grade, and don't scare them to death......"
"It's not scared to death, it's certain death, hundreds of sixth- and seventh-grade monsters, and even dozens of eight-grade monsters, this can already carry out a small-scale siege of the city......" Lao Zhou nodded, feeling that Chen Pingping's words had a certain amount of truth, and after thinking about it, he finally ruled out the possibility of a decisive battle, jumped high, and officially announced the withdrawal of troops.
The commanders led their men back to the place where they had been encamped last night, stabilized the defensive line, and waited for follow-up orders.
As for Chen Pingping, he automatically disappeared into the crowd.
The power of one person to save the entire elite army, this credit falls into the hands of others, it is definitely a great military feat, but in the hands of him, a second-realm martial artist who stubbornly guards the group, it is a little hot.
Lao Zhou had the same tacit understanding with him, and after returning to the camp, he simply said to the commanders on this matter, "Look for heroes, reward heroes", and never mentioned it again.
The commanders were quite positive, after all, it was a life-saving grace that was not discounted at all, but they searched for several circles, but they couldn't find anyone......
"Isn't it...... In the chaos of the war, it happened to be sacrificed, right? "There is speculation.
This speculation was immediately accepted by everyone.
Indeed, due to the rush over countless monsters to help the elite troops, many people died in the actual battle of the large army.
Moreover, according to the normal logic of thinking, if the other party is still there, it is impossible to give up this great achievement, take 10,000 steps back, even if you give up, at least you will stand up and let the people of the elite army know who saved them!
You must know that the elite troops are all masters of the five realms and above, and there is even Lao Zhou, the branch president of the Martial Arts Association of Jiangnan Base City, what kind of terrifying network resources this is, a fool can see it!
"I'm mainly to blame for this...... He rescued me from the monsters, and I should have been optimistic about him...... Patronizing the command of the retreat of the large army, ignoring him...... Alas......" After listening to the reports of the commanders, Lao Zhou looked sad and heartbroken.
"At that time, I glanced at it in a hurry, and I felt that it should be a young man, which is indeed a pity, otherwise he would have a very great future......" The commanders also looked heavy.
It is also a great pity to receive the grace of saving people's lives, but there is no way to repay them.
"Siren has passed away, don't think too much, today you are all exhausted, so let's rest, tomorrow we will accelerate the front, and strive to conquer the Blood Lake in a week!"
"For the sake of the Federation, for the sake of mankind, we must dig out the secrets of the Blood Lake!" Lao Zhou made a final conclusion.
"Yes!"
……
The next day, the front was re-entrenched.
On the third day, the army pushed the battle line to the side of the lake of blood and camped there.
However, instead of carrying out a series of operations against the Blood Lake, they crossed the Blood Lake and made the primary goal of the operation to clean up the monsters.
A group of commanders led by Lao Zhou no longer participated in the actions of the elite troops, observing the blood lake day and night, recording all kinds of anomalies.
On the fifth day, the encirclement and suppression armies of the three major base cities successfully joined forces and completely wiped out the tide of monsters that had once entrenched in the entire urban area of ancient Nanjing.
On the sixth day, the army surrounded the Blood Lake, dropped a small bomb to test it, and then a small team of volunteers voluntarily went into the water to investigate, and no human damage was found.
Then, more people went into the water to explore, sparing every corner, but unfortunately, nothing was found.
The entire blood lake, except for the blood-colored lake, is the bones of the monsters, and nothing else.
On the seventh day, a hundred experimental first-class monsters arrived, and in full view of everyone, the monsters began to spontaneously enter the blood lake and devour each other, and the devoured ones died, and the devourers were obviously a little stronger, and the injuries on their bodies also recovered quickly.
It shows that the Blood Lake is indeed a problem of its own, and it is not a new form of monsters with intelligence lurking in it.
On the eighth day, Supreme Commander Lao Zhou listened to someone's secret advice, collected enough blood lake water as a research sample, and fired two powerful missiles at the blood lake.
After the bombing, something surprising happened.
The special features of the Blood Lake that were discovered by the previous exploration are all gone, and the newly transported monsters no longer actively enter the Blood Lake, nor do they consume each other, and the lake water no longer has a healing effect on the monsters.
This blood lake has completely recovered into an ordinary blood-colored lake.
