Chapter 35: Squad Mission [Asking for Recommendation Votes]
After everyone laughed, they came to the screen in the lobby of the Mission Pavilion. After layers of screening, a squad mission was finally locked.
The content of the mission is to clear the second-order demon beast rhinoceros horn boar near Qingshui Town. Qingshui Town is two hundred miles southeast of the imperial capital, where a small group of rhinoceros boars has recently appeared. Dozens of local residents are said to have been killed or wounded, and the number of casualties is growing.
Zhang Genliu couldn't see such a thing, and when he saw such a task, he immediately decided. Not for mission rewards, not for personal honor, just hope that things like Peach Village will happen less often.
When receiving the task, the academy tutor gave a formation map and asked Zhang Genliu's team to arrange the formation no matter what.
Just when the group was about to go back to prepare, Liu Chao met his brother. After a greeting between the two, they introduced Zhang Genliu's understanding of the formation. This person's name is Liu Yang, and he is ranked eighteenth in the Great Perfection of War Mania.
"Brother Zhang, if you are free when you come back from this mission, please contact me! Our team has recently taken on another top-level mission, but the formation is really sad. You also know that there are only a few formations in the entire academy, and they are very sought-after now, and they are all available. Don't worry, as long as you can break the formation, you can divide half of it first! But the time is only seven days, and we will set off again in seven days!" Liu Yang briefly explained the matter.
"Brother Liu, please forgive me, I'm an earth-attribute cultivator, I'm afraid I don't necessarily have the treasures I use, right?" Zhang Genliu euphemistically said the reason for refusal.
When Liu Yang heard this, he immediately transmitted his voice to Zhang Genliu: "Preliminary detection, there are blood orchids with the flesh and bones of the living and dead in that secret realm, and there is more than one. This thing is the main material for refining the Returning Yang Pill, as long as it is no more than seven days after death, it can be resurrected after eating the Returning Yang Pill. With this elixir, it is equivalent to an extra life, and that is not something that Yuan Jing can buy!"
"In that case, I'll rush back as soon as possible!" Zhang Genliu heard and immediately agreed.
On the way back, Zhang Genliu asked Zheng Xin: "When did you go through the enrollment procedures again? Continue to stay in the college, isn't there no one to take care of your restaurant?"
"You don't have to worry about this, when you were cultivating a few days ago, I had already arranged everything!Why, Brother Zhang, don't you welcome me to join the team?" Zheng Xin asked.
"No, I don't care about you! And Brother Qi, are you brothers and sisters sure you want to go together? I'm a little worried about your safety!" Zhang Genliu said.
"Don't worry, let's hide behind and give you a hand! Don't you always say that one more person has more strength? Besides, just a second-order demon beast, we can't run away if we can't beat it? You also underestimate me and my sister too much, aren't you? Qi Chuyu!" Qi Chucai said with a smile, and now he has completely lost the prince's shelf.
"Yes!" replied Qi Chuyu.
Since being beaten by Zhang Genliu for the first time, Qi Chucai's attitude towards Qi Chuyu has changed greatly. However, Qi Chuyu is still a little uncomfortable, and he usually speaks concisely and clearly.
A group of seven people made a brief preparation and set off. There are several people in the spaceship now, but they all took Zhang Genliu's ship.
It took the seven of them nearly three hours to arrive at Qingshui Town, and as soon as they got off the boat, they saw that the townspeople were busy repairing the city walls.
"May I ask how many of them were sent by the South China Sea Academy for reinforcements?" a middle-aged man hurriedly stepped forward and asked when he saw Zhang Genliu and the others getting off the boat.
"Yes, where is your mayor, I need to ask for details!" said Zhang Genliu.
"The mayor of the town is seriously injured, rest in the mayor's mansion at the moment, come with me!" The middle-aged man said with a sigh when he saw a group of teenagers coming, the oldest was only about twenty years old, and the youngest was only about ten years old.
It's no wonder that the person has this expression, usually age is directly proportional to cultivation. The old mayor is over seventy years old this year, and he can only reach the fifth layer of war madness, how high are these young people's cultivation. The middle-aged man thought like this, and sighed more and more.
Soon Zhang Genliu and others came to the mayor's mansion. I saw that the upper half of the old mayor's body was wrapped in gauze, and only his head was exposed. There were still traces of blood on the gauze, and it was obvious that the injury was not light. At this moment, the old mayor was lying in a large rocking chair, seemingly asleep.
The middle-aged man before shouted, and the mayor opened his eyes and got up.
After Zhang Genliu briefly explained his intentions, the mayor also told the matter.
It turns out that Qingshui Town used to be very prosperous, just because there used to be a Yuanjing ore vein here. But with years of mining in the country, the veins have been gradually hollowed out. The vitality here is also weakening year by year, until in recent years, it has been impossible to maintain normal cultivation at all.
As the mayor of the town, Hu Dalong has lived here for most of his life, and he wants to find a vein in the nearby mountains to move the entire town.
Finally, a month ago, it was discovered that there was a very small vein thirty miles southwest of the town. Although the veins are so small that the country is too lazy to mine them, it is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow for Qingshui Town.
So Hu Dalong took a few old people from the Yuan Qi Realm in the town to investigate the ore vein. Unexpectedly, five rhino horn boars were encountered over there, and a tragic battle ensued. After paying two lives, he finally killed all five rhino horn boars.
Originally, Hu Dalong and others were still rejoicing that the vein was only occupied by a few rhino horn boars. After killing them, that vein would naturally become the bag of Clear Water Town.
Who knew that on the third day after Hu Dalong and his party returned, more than 50 rhino horn boars came to Qingshui Town. There was another fight, with casualties on both sides, and the rhino horn boar temporarily retreated.
But Hu Dalong knew in his heart that the demon beasts like the rhino horn boar were very vindictive, and they would definitely come back. As a last resort, the matter was reported layer by layer, but it was the students of Nanhai College who were waiting.
"In other words, it's been the third day since the last time the rhinoceros horn boar attacked the city, right?" Liu Chao suddenly asked.
"Yes, does this little brother have any high opinions?" asked Hu Dalong.
"Gao Jian no, I just think of the discipline and hatred of the rhino horn boar! This kind of demon beast rarely acts alone, and every time it takes revenge, the number will increase tenfold compared to the last time! Three days have arrived, and it seems that five hundred rhino horn boars are already on their way!" Liu Chao said slowly. When he spoke, he didn't forget to use his orchid finger to make a gesture, and Deng Xina on the side quickly reminded him when she saw it.
"Since there is no time, Mayor Town, hurry up and stop the manpower from preparing for defense! Sister Na and Sister Xiang went to the south gate to defend, Brother Zheng and Brother Liu went to the north gate to defend, and Chu Cai and Chu Yu followed me. I'm going to set up the formation now, I don't know if it's too late!" Zhang Genliu commanded.
Hu Dalong saw that the youngest Zhang Gen was still giving orders, and wanted to scold people at first. But then I saw Deng Xina and the others surrender their hands one by one, and they went their separate ways. Hu Dalong was very surprised, does this little doll really have such a great ability?
Zhang Genliu roughly surveyed the terrain of Qingshui Town, and then began to set up the formation. The formation diagram given by the academy is an ordinary moat array, which is indeed enough under normal circumstances. But when five hundred demon beasts attacked, Zhang Genliu still changed it slightly on the original basis.
The main changes are the increase in aggressiveness, and the rest of the changes are the same. Taking advantage of the topography here, the current Great Array can pump water from the town's river as an energy source. In this way, Qingshui Town can save a lot of yuan crystal costs in the future.
Not only that, but the river energy can also assist the large array's water attribute attack.
Just as Zhang Genliu had just finished arranging the large array, he sensed that a large number of demon beasts had gathered fifty miles away. Seeing this, Zhang Genliu hurriedly asked the Qi Chucai brothers and sisters to inform everyone to go to the south of the city to prepare for battle.
At first, Hu Dalong didn't believe it, the ninth layer of warriors could actually sense the movement of fifty miles away? Not to mention the ninth layer of warriors, it is estimated that even the ninth layer of battle madness can't do it.
As soon as Hu Dalong wanted to open his mouth to refute Zhang Genliu, he heard the earth tremble. This is definitely the sound that can only be made by a large number of demon beasts running, and Hu Dalong swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
"Mayor Hu, this is the formation plate of the city protection array, if you are injured and it is inconvenient to fight, you will control the large array!" Zhang Genliu handed the formation plate to Hu Dalong and told him how to manipulate it.
Hu Dalong was amazed after hearing this, he didn't expect Zhang Genliu to stay at a young age, not only did he have a high level of cultivation, but his formation attainments were also so high.
You must know that it takes a lot of time to study the formation, and usually the cultivation of the formation mage is very low. Because studying the formation means that there is no time to practice the exercises, and there is no time to study the formations when cultivating the exercises, and only one of the two can be taken. This is also the reason why array mages are scarce.
In less than a cup of tea, a mile in front of the city wall was full of rhinoceros boars. Visually inspecting the realm of this group of demon beasts, all of them have reached the second order, and some are even about to break through the third order.
When the guards in the town saw so many demon beasts, their legs trembled in fright, and they almost shouted.
"Mayor Hu, don't you say a few words to boost morale?" Zhang Genliu asked suddenly.
In Zhang Genliu's view, fighting a war should be like a ray of heaven, and it is necessary to boost morale before the war. Even if the opponent is not human, at least the momentum of the combatant must be displayed.
"Little Brother Zhang, it's not that I don't want to say it, but there are so many second-order demon beasts, it's useless to say anything now!" Hu Dalong said embarrassedly.
Seeing this, Zhang Genliu could only shake his head and smile bitterly, the gap between the ordinary escort team and the national army was indeed very large.
"Brother Liu, is there anything valuable on this demon beast?" Zhang Genliu suddenly turned his head and asked Liu Chao.
"Hey, you ask me about this kind of thing! The meat of the rhinoceros boar is very delicious and can be made into a delicacy. Their leather armor is more defensive than military armor. There are also big horns on their heads, which can be made into spear heads, and they can be sold for hundreds of thousands of yuan. Zheng Xin talked eloquently.
When he said this, Zheng Xin was like a few treasures, and he really deserved to be from a business family. Zhang Genliu nodded, praised Zheng Xin, and made Zheng Xin very happy. I don't know when the six of them wanted to get Zhang Genliu's praise.
"Folks in Qingshui Town, I know you're scared, but do we have a way out now? We are born as human beings, and the biggest difference between us and demon beasts is that we all have wisdom! We are a race favored by God, how can we let a group of animals bully us? Fathers and fellow villagers, please pick up the weapons in your hands and fight with me!" Zhang Genliu said these words in a loud voice, and the scene was silent.
