Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Strange Breath

readx;

As night fell, the first day's cleanup came to an end temporarily, and the seven teams of Zuo Sige's army gathered around Du Tianwen's location and set up camp on the periphery of the Black Wood Forest. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"No, the first-level spotted insect beast that our team hunted today. ”

Several people gathered around Du Tianwen, including his three lieutenants and six lieutenants, Uncle Gen, and Karen of the town guard.

Captain Ai had a faint disdain on his face, nodded and motioned to the lieutenant beside him to drag a sack over, untie the knot, and a few oval objects rolled out of it, which were the thread cores of the spotted insect beast.

"There are two hundred and thirty-six in total, all of them are here! There are no casualties!"

For this number, Captain Ai is quite satisfied, after all, there are not many spotted insect beasts in the periphery, and once they are discovered, they are quickly killed by his sergeants, including himself, who killed several of them, and the speed of the military column can be described as very fast.

When he assembled, he took a look at the five teams under Qiao Ximing, those reservists were more or less stained with mud and dust, and some of the armor was damaged, which looked very embarrassing, but the overall number of people did not change much.

There were no casualties even in the reserves, and in Captain Ai's mind, Qiao Ximing must have chosen to advance the march by attacking with a regular sergeant in front and the reserve then filling the gaps.

How could such a tactic achieve results comparable to those of his team!

The core of this bag of threads made his expression full of disdain.

But beside him, Captain Tu noticed the expressions of Du Tianwen and Captain Karen.

Uncle Gen was silent, and the emotional fluctuations on his face were also very hidden, and he couldn't see any changes at this time, but Du Tianwen and Karen had obvious strange looks on their faces.

The team they were in led by Da Bai was also one of the five teams under Qiao Ximing, and the results of the first day of cleaning up already had a rough outline in their hearts.

Qiao Ximing glanced at the bag on the ground lightly, without the slightest fluctuation, just nodded and said: "Captain Ai's team is indeed good, it hunted so many first-level beast soldiers on the periphery on the first day, my team ......"

He glanced back at Qiao Dingtong, who was not far away, and the latter immediately ran over with an identical bag.

"We only hunted one hundred and sixty-eight spotted insects in the growth stage, and all the cores are here......"

Captain Ai looked at the bag in Qiao Dingtong's hand, which was obviously smaller than them, and suddenly a smug look appeared, and he immediately said in his mouth: "Hmph, I just said that the split line will cause a decrease in combat effectiveness, now you know! So listen to me tomorrow ......."

"Captain Ai!" Qiao Ximing's expression was faint, and he interrupted Captain Ai's words: "You seem to be mistaken, we agreed that the two teams will compare with you, you seem to have said this a little earlier, right?"

"There are two teams, we have nearly seventy more than you, and you still ...... Wait!" As he spoke, Captain Ai's eyes suddenly opened, and an unbelievable thought flashed through his mind: "You mean, this is just the number of hunts in your team!?"

The corners of Qiao Ximing's mouth hooked, and nodded: "Exactly, the one hundred and thirty people under my command are indeed not as good as Captain Ai's team, but I am a little ashamed." However, since it is said that the results of the two teams are compared with you, I believe that Captain Ai will not break his promise. ”

"You ......" Captain Ai's face became ugly, and after thinking about it, he immediately spoke up: "As a high-level soldier, you can naturally easily hunt first-level beast soldiers, how can you calculate like this!"

Although this Captain Ai's idea was taken for granted, he couldn't believe that with just forty regular sergeants and a bunch of reserves, he could reach such a high number of hunts, and the only possibility was Qiao Ximing taking action himself!

But seeing Qiao Ximing, he shook his head indifferently: "Since Captain Ai said so, then the number of my group will not be counted, and among the other four groups, Captain Ai will choose two groups at will!"

Captain Ai was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up again: "Okay, Huanrong, Guo Yu, what is the result of your two groups?"

Huanrong and Guo Yu were the two lieutenant generals under She and Gong before, and when they heard Captain Ai's question, their faces were a little embarrassed, but they still greeted their team.

Huang Liu ran out of the team first, with a smile on his face, the sack he was carrying looked no smaller than Qiao Dingtong, and trotted all the way to Guo Yu's side: "This team hunted one hundred and seventy-three spotted insect beasts in the growth period, and seriously injured two reservists. ”

As soon as the words fell, Guan Xin in the other team walked to Huanrong's side with another sack with a proud face: "The number of hunts in this team is one hundred and seventy-nine, and four reservists are seriously injured. ”

The combination of the two turned out to be as high as more than 350 wire cores, which immediately made Captain Ai feel that he was having auditory hallucinations in his ears.

But looking at the two bags, the oval ones are indeed all wire cores, and there is no fraud at all!

"This ...... How is this possible!" Captain Ai couldn't believe it, walked to the sack and stirred himself for a long time, and finally looked at the other two captains with slightly red eyes: "What about you? How many have you hunted!?"

Qiao Ximing nodded, and Du Xian, the lieutenant transferred by Du Tianwen, said: "This team hunted one hundred and sixty-three, and there were no casualties. ”

Then, behind Da Bai - whose real name is White - Viren walked out: "This team seriously injured one of the reservists, and the number of hunts ...... One hundred and ninety-five!"

"How is that possible!?" Captain Ai called out directly.

Of these four teams, three of them had more hunts than the team led by Qiao Ximing himself, and no matter which two teams he chose, their numbers would far exceed his own.

In fact, Qiao Ximing did not kill at all during the first day of cleanup, all the hunted beast soldiers died at the hands of a group of sergeants, and he only dealt with them when there were a few fatal situations, and handed over all the hunting to the sergeants.

Therefore, the number of hunts in the team he led was relatively small, and Viren's side, because of the strength of the middle of the troop level, became the team with the largest number of hunts under Qiao Ximing.

But Captain Ai couldn't figure it out, his eyes were red, but he couldn't say anything.

In the end, Du Tianwen opened his mouth: "Okay, the result is here, the line cleaning can indeed increase our hunting speed, thanks to Captain Qiao's thirteen formations." In that case, we will continue to clean up in this way from tomorrow!"

Thirteen formations?

Ai and Tu immediately captured this key point, and then they suddenly thought of the strange military formation that Qiao Ximing had practiced in the military field three days ago, but they didn't expect it to become a big weapon to speed up the cleanup.

They wanted to find out more information, but Du Tianwen waved his hand to disperse them, and Qiao Ximing took the lieutenants back to his camp without looking back.

This time, Qiao Ximing already had a certain number in his heart. The thirteen formations were taught by him, and he was naturally clear about the power of them, and he didn't worry about Captain Ai's opposition at all. Moreover, whether Qin Ziyu can be suppressed this time, as well as the breakthrough of the reserves, all depend on this military formation.

After a few words of instruction to his lieutenants, he turned and opened his tent, but there was already a man sitting inside, thin and small, sitting on a sleeping bag with swaddling clothes, but he had not even removed his helmet.

"It's okay in the tent, take off your armor. ”

Under Qiao Ximing's faint words, the thin sergeant stiffened, and then slowly untied the silver-white and green military armor.

The snow-white hair was draped over the shoulders, the crystal white face and the green eyes of the light eyebrows were exposed from behind the helmet, and a plain white skirt on the body was reflected by the smooth surface of the military armor, like a fairy in the snow, which gave the tent a few more illusionary white colors.

Seeing this scene, Qiao Ximing, who had always looked indifferent, unconsciously flashed twice, and then made a move that even he didn't understand - he turned his head away and took his eyes off Xue'er's body.

Seeing Qiao Ximing's actions, Xue'er's cheeks suddenly flew up two scarlets, and then she lowered her head to look at the swaddling face in her arms, without saying a word.

Qiao Ximing walked to his sleeping bag, untied his armor and sat down, was silent for a while, and suddenly asked softly, "Will you be tired?"

Xue'er sighed and raised her head, her eyes a little confused.

"Will you be tired of marching with military armor?"

Qiao Ximing's eyes were still deviating, staring at the light armor that Xue'er was wearing.

Xue'er looked at Qiao Ximing's expression, and a faint smile suddenly appeared on her face: "No...... Cher, not tired. ”

Obviously he didn't look at Xue'er's face, but when he heard her voice from a distance of half a zhang, his heart still trembled for no reason.

This feeling is so strange, but it is ...... Somewhat familiar.

Good puppy!

A face jumped out of my memory, so warm, but after all, it was as illusory as foam.

Seeing that Qiao Ximing's expression suddenly changed slightly, Xue'er was stunned for a moment, hesitated, and suddenly reached out, wanting to help him untie the bun on his head.

Swish!

Xue'er's hand retracted, because Qiao Ximing suddenly turned her head, her brows furrowed, and she stared at the wall of the tent, as if she wanted to see through it.

"How...... What's wrong?" Qiao Ximing's expression made Xue'er a little nervous, and she couldn't help but ask.

But Qiao Ximing didn't move for a while, and then slowly turned his head and muttered silently.

At that moment just now, an extremely strange aura suddenly appeared in his perception, and the direction was in the depths of this dark wood. The breath gave him a strange and abnormal feeling, fluctuating quickly and fluctuating, and then disappearing immediately.

It's like a brute beast aura hovering on the edge of a fourth-level beast soldier!

However, as a resource of a third-level town and city, the Black Wood Forest has already undergone a major cleansing, and it is generally impossible for beast soldiers above the third level to appear, but that aura faintly fluctuates to the fourth level, which is extremely unreasonable.

That aura flashed away, fluctuating extremely quickly, but Qiao Ximing believed in his perception very much.

Although he failed to break through the minister-level pass twelve times, his perception was already no less than that of a minister-level ability, which was also the reason why he was able to detect Uncle Gen in the beast material store in the first place.

"Joe......"

A soft voice pulled Qiao Ximing's thoughts back, and when he turned his head, Xue'er was holding the swaddling clothes and looking at him worriedly.

Looking at Xue'er in a daze, Qiao Ximing suddenly spoke: "You just ...... Call me what?"

A trace of nervousness suddenly flashed on Xue'er's face, and she stammered a little: "I...... I don't know ......."

"It's fine. Qiao Ximing bowed his head: "Call me like this in the future...... Go to sleep, it's not too early. ”

Xue'er was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and smiled softly.

"Hmm!"

The oil lamp went out, the two got into their respective sleeping bags, Xue'er hugged the swaddling clothes and closed her eyes, but Qiao Ximing turned sideways, staring at the tent for a long time without closing.

The breath ......

This cleanup seems to be variable!
