Chapter XII: Mandatory Tasks
Jian Zhiqiong was ready to carry out the mandatory task issued by the Xuan Demon Palace.
The mandatory task can be described as the mandatory summoning order of the Xuan Demon Temple, and all members of the headquarters of the Xuan Demon Temple must comply with the convening order and give priority to the assigned tasks.
The members of the Xuan Demon Hall enjoyed the resources provided by the Xuan Demon Palace, and naturally had the obligation to complete the tasks assigned by the Xuan Demon Palace.
The leader of this mandatory mission is Wang Wuyang, the deputy hall master. Jian Zhiqiong was sitting on the transport plane of the Xuan Demon Hall at this moment and flew to Tianmu Pass.
Located more than 700 kilometers northeast of Tianjing City, Tianmuguan is one of the frontline battlefields of humans and demons. Tianmu Pass is built on the mountain, the terrain is dangerous, it is an important barrier and external gateway of Tianjing City, which can be described as the first line of defense. Relying on the advantages of the natural geography of Tianmuguan, human beings stubbornly blocked the progress of the demon army.
However, intelligence shows that the demon has gradually lost patience and is very dissatisfied with the long-term failure to conquer Tianmu Pass. The "Purgatory Guard" has been ordered to be dispatched to Tianmu Pass to assist the demon army in attacking Tian Mu Pass.
The Purgatory Guards are composed of elite demons, similar to the Demon Slaying Army's Xuan Demon Temple, and have powerful combat capabilities. The main task of the Xuan Demon Palace's trip is to snipe the purgatory guards and help protect Tian Mu Pass.
Jian Zhiqiong looked at the members of the team this time, there were two unfamiliar faces, a man and a woman. The rest are all those who have attended his welcome party, including diplomatic expert Tan Jianfu, cold girl Vivian, handsome guy Wu Jiahua, glutton Li Zhiwei and drunkard Chen Yi.
"Jian Zhiqiong, are you listening to me intently?" Wang Wuyang roared angrily.
"Deputy Chief, I have it. Jian Zhiqiong replied humbly.
Wang Wuyang was extremely angry, seeing Jian Zhiqiong's eyes shrinking, obviously avoiding eye contact, he was very sure that Jian Zhiqiong didn't listen to a word of the combat mission he had just described.
The others cast sympathetic glances at Jian Zhiqiong, but Tan Jianfu had a gloating expression.
Although Wang Wuyang is the deputy hall master, he usually treats people and is kind, has no arrogance, and often mingles with the members of the Xuan Demon Palace. But when performing the task, Wang Wuyang completely judged the two of them, with a short temper and a strong desire to control, and would scold anyone who was not satisfied, and even punch and kick people who did not like him.
"Jian Zhiqiong is out!" Wang Wuyang's eyes were bloodshot, his face was flushed, and he was obviously extremely angry.
"Yes, sir!" Jian Zhiqiong's military posture was impeccable.
"The first lesson I taught you, listen attentively to what the chief has to say!" Wang Wuyang loosened the muscles of his hands and feet, and walked closer to Jian Zhiqiong.
"Boom, boom!" The tail of the transport plane continued to make a loud noise, and the fuselage shook violently.
Wang Yangwu didn't have time to punish Jian Zhiqiong for a while, and roared angrily, "Can anyone tell me what happened?"
"Sir, the transport plane is being attacked by a large number of gargoyles, and I'm afraid it won't be able to hold it up. My advice is for all of us to abandon the plane as soon as possible. The captain responded.
"Damn, why is the path of our transport plane known to the devil?" Wang Yangwu punched the fuselage, venting his anger. "There is no other way, now everyone immediately puts on their parachutes and prepares to abandon the plane and escape. After the jump, everyone carried out their own tasks according to the original plan. 」
"No!"
Jian Zhiqiong had been trained to parachute jump in the boot training camp, and although he was a little scramble in the process of putting on the parachute, he finally succeeded in putting on the parachute.
"Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow" Jian Zhiqiong was suddenly pushed out of the transport plane without psychological preparation. It turned out that Wang Wuyang saw Jian Zhiqiong's slow reasoning, and casually pushed Jian Zhiqiong out of the plane.
"Deputy Hall Master, are you taking revenge by doing this?" Vivien said helplessly when she saw this.
"This is a training for newcomers!" Wang Wuyang shook his head and grinned.
Jian Zhiqiong was suddenly pushed out of the plane, struggling frantically in the air, and almost bit his tongue in a panic. Fortunately, Jian Zhiqiong remembered to open the parachute at the last moment, and there was no failure of the device or the parachute was stuck and could not be opened, and successfully landed on the branch of a towering tree.
"Jujuao, where am I now?"
"Master, I have good news and bad news, which do you want to hear first?"
"Let's start with the good news. 」
"The good news is that we are only about 40 kilometers away from Tianmuguan. 」
"And what's the bad news?"
"The bad news is that we landed near the base camp of the demon army. 」
The Temple of the End of the Law has recently upgraded all the intelligent housekeepers of the Xuan Demon Palace, and Zhu Zhuao is now more user-friendly than before, and most importantly, a crisis analysis module has been added. By collecting environmental data, Zhu Zhuao is able to predict the whereabouts and whereabouts of demons, make analysis and provide the most appropriate advice.
Another innovative feature is the optical simulation function, which converts the optical spectrum to disguise the user as a demon or animal for a long time, improving the success rate of the user in the infiltration mission or retreat.
"I suggest that the master disguise himself as an elk, so that it will be less noticeable to the demon. 」
"Okay, by the way, what's my mission?"
"I'm sorry, master. The mandatory tasks of the Xuan Demon Temple are confidential, and there is no data about the tasks in the database, and the mandatory tasks are all issued orally by the captain. 」
Jian Zhiqiong was silent for a while after hearing this, and then said after a while: "Then now I can only rely on you Zhu Zhuao, just follow your suggestion." Soon Jian Zhiqiong transformed into a brown elk, and there was no flaw in his appearance.
"Master, you've been heading northeast. 」
"Master, if you go west, you will see the river, and follow it downstream. 」
Under Zhu Zhuao's guidance, Jian Zhiqiong did not alarm the demon army along the way, and he was only twenty kilometers away from Tianmu Pass.
"Master, there is a demon approaching at high speed ahead, please pretend to be a real elk for the time being, and pretend to graze. 」
A group of demonic cavalry swept by, apparently on their way.
"Vivian?" Jian Zhiqiong saw the cold girl, whose hands were tied by the demon and tied behind a demon war horse with a long rope. As the demon war horse ran, the cold girl was dragged forward on the ground, covered in bruises.
When Jian Zhiqiong saw Vivian's tragic situation, he was furious and was about to rush out to save Vivian.
"Master calm down! Even if you rush forward now, you may not be able to save the cold girl, and you will expose your disguise. Zhu Zhuao discouraged.
Jian Zhiqiong understood that Zhu Zhuao was right, so he could only hold back his anger and wait for the right time.
The demon attaches great importance to the cold girl, and dispatches a large number of troops to escort the cold girl back to the main camp. Jian Zhiqiong couldn't find a chance to rescue the cold girl at all.
Jian Zhiqiong followed the escort team all the way to the outside of the main camp of the demons. Jian Zhiqiong found a tall tree and roughly confirmed the location of the cold girl's detention.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Jian Zhiqiong took a short rest on the big tree, ate some compressed cans, and then pretended to sleep, preparing to save Vivian at night.
