Chapter 65: Guarding
Chen Fan, who put away the trophies, quickly left after greeting a few people, the five-rank martial artist didn't know when he would come back, he wanted to hold on to his development now, and he didn't want to fight against the five-rank martial artist yet.
There were a lot of cave warriors he met this time, and their language Chen Fan was a metropolis, and he found that his learning ability, memory, and comprehension had increased since the breakthrough of his spiritual power.
Looking at the sky, it looked like it was still very bright, the night of the cave would come quickly, Chen Fan was not in a hurry to return to Hope City, but continued to explore slowly, his speed was very fast, as long as he didn't know the direction like Fang Ping, he was sure to go back before dark.
While walking, he used his spiritual power to sense faint energy fluctuations, and Chen Fan found that after walking out of the meat grinding field, the energy fluctuations were very few, and he only met a few cave warriors along the way, all of whom were attacked and killed without exception.
After walking another five kilometers, Chen Fan suddenly felt a shock to his spirit, and hurriedly opened the energy barrier to shield his breath, and not far away, he felt a strong energy fluctuation, and slowly approached after opening the energy barrier.
At a glance, it was obvious that the two were talking, and the other party obviously didn't sense anyone approaching, a young man was talking to a middle-aged man with a scar on his face, and there was no one else around the two.
The young man said with some dissatisfaction: "Father, this time you asked you to bring people to the front line, didn't you send them to death, right?" One of your sixth-rank martial artists and two fifth-rank martial artists can be caught off guard when they go to the front line now, but when their strong man comes, you will be in danger! ”
The scarred middle-aged man shook his head and said, "This is both a danger and an opportunity!" This time I was sent out to raid the front line, this is just the beginning, the city lord has already started to communicate with Dongkui Castle to prepare for a joint raid on Hope City!
We are just a vanguard, there will be reinforcements one after another, I am waiting here now, let those four and five products go, the two of us are staying here, now Hope City will not send a strong person, and we will continue to retreat when the news comes out, even if we send a strong person, we can't find us, don't worry. ”
The young man was overjoyed when he heard this: "After the war, the Patronus Spirit will open the Fountain of Life, and if my father can obtain the blessing of the Fountain of Life, he will also have the opportunity to step into the Realm of Domination!" ”
The scar middle-aged man nodded, and continued: "This is also the reason why I agreed to be a striker, otherwise, with my strength, the Lord Commander will not force me too much, and I am only one step away from stepping into the Commander Realm, after the fountain of life is opened, I will ask the Lord Commander to arrange a position for you, and you can also step into the sixth rank as soon as possible." ”
The young man nodded happily, and then said with some concern: "Then we better be careful, those slaves will die when they die, and we can't take risks." ”
The middle-aged man with a scar looked at his cautious son and nodded with satisfaction, "Let's go, we are 15 miles back, those slaves have already started, maybe the news has been transmitted back to Hope City, and their Command Realm will also come to investigate." So saying, he took the young man and left.
Chen Fan cautiously hid in the tree on the side and didn't dare to come out, the Command Realm was a seventh-grade martial artist, and listening to the conversation between these two, the two of them were six grades for one person, and five grades for one person, not the ordinary six-grade, but the six-rank one step away from the seventh!
After the two left, Chen Fan still didn't dare to move, afraid that the two were just silently observing elsewhere, so he moved his body slightly for two hours, confirming that there was really no one and slowly got up and left.
Thinking about the words of the two along the way, in his memory, Dongkui City was united with Tianmen City, he didn't know the specific time, and now they are still in the negotiation stage, and there is no real union.
He will definitely be taken seriously if he reports the situation, and I hope that the city can deal with it more calmly, and there is no need to let the old headmaster and other old people die together.
I couldn't help but feel a little depressed in my heart, there were two other reasons why these old people died, the first was that there were already countless dark injuries in the body after years of fighting, and the combat effectiveness would gradually decline.
The second is to deter the cave warriors, let them know that we have the determination to die, even if we fight for our lives, we will not retreat, this is also one of the reasons why the new martial arts can hold out for so long with such a big gap in strength, otherwise only the Zhentian King will be deterred, and the effect will not be so good.
There were very few cave warriors encountered along the way, and the fluctuations in qi and blood when I walked to the meat grinding ground were quite strong, and after I sensed it carefully, compared to the few four grades I met, this fluctuation was much stronger.
Chen Fan instantly put away his curiosity, he was not a child of destiny, and now he was not strong enough to help a fifth-grade martial artist, and he could only run away after encountering it, even if he went, he couldn't help much.
Skipped the battle with the strongest fluctuations in qi and blood, and continued to move forward and encountered many ordinary martial artists of the third and fourth grades, and did not hesitate to sneak attack directly on the side.
In today's battle of the day, except for the fourth-rank martial artists who helped recover the arrows after the battle, and some of the Tianmen City squads that he killed alone recovered the arrows, he did not go to recover the arrows after the other battles, but left directly without revealing his identity.
Looking at the arrows in the storage space, Chen Fan was a little uncomfortable, 350 E-grade alloy arrows and 20 D-grade arrows, now the total is less than 300.
It's only been half a day, and he hasn't returned to Hope City yet, the consumption is already so great, and Chen Fan also knows better why there are so few martial artists who use arrows.
One is that it is difficult to master, and there are other reasons, it may be too expensive, many arrows are not recycled, and there is no way to recycle it means that the consumption is very large, you must know that Chen Fan's knife has only cost a few hundred credits, and he has spent nearly a hundred credits on these arrows in one day today.
Secretly waiting for him to break through after he broke through, he wanted to buy a thousand D-rank arrows for backup, Chen Fan did not meet a fourth-grade martial artist along the way, and met a scout team from Tianmen City, a total of four of them were third-grade martial artists, and they were easily killed.
Back in Hope City, it was already dark, I felt it with my eyes, I could see some, but I couldn't see it clearly, silently probed out the spiritual power, the surrounding situation and energy were very clear, and then I felt the strength of the spiritual power even more, whether it was used to deter or probe the situation, it was very useful.
Returning to the Mowu rest point, a mentor was stationed to arrange tasks and exchange loot, and the mentor arranged by Mowu was Qu Mingshi, who was also a mentor of the fifth grade, and Qu Mingshi confirmed that Lu Fengrou was still in the cave and hurriedly went to find her.
Seeing that Lu Fengrou was constantly using her mental power to move items in the room, knowing that she was exercising her mental power, she glanced at Chen Fan, and Lu Fengrou said suspiciously: "What is the matter with coming to me so late?" ”
"I went to the meat grinder today, where there are now many middle-grade martial artists, and I met a lot of fourth-grade and fifth-grade martial artists along the way."
"From time to time, they will organize forwards to harass this side of Hope City, one is to hope that the city will sneak attack, and the other is to send martial artists to the meat grinder to catch us off guard, which is normal, and we will also send four or five martial artists to the meat grinder from time to time to raid and kill their warriors."
"No, it's just that I won't come to you now because of this, I got the news that Dongkui City and Tianmen City are secretly uniting!"
Hearing this, Lu Fengrou's face changed, he and the Tianmen City Lord had a life-and-death feud, and if the two sides were united, his hope of revenge would be even smaller.
Lu Fengrou frowned and said, "Where did you hear that?" The Heavenly Gate City Lord did not leave Heavenly Gate City, otherwise the Grandmaster on our side would have felt it. ”
"If you want to unite, you don't need to go in person! Cooperation can also be achieved in other ways. Then he recounted what he had heard in the forest.
Lu Fengrou's face became even more ugly, and she said to Chen Fan: "I'll go and tell the military department the news, and they will verify the follow-up information, what are your plans?" Keep doing the task? ”
Shaking his head, Chen Fan said with a smile: "No, I saw that the clothes of these cave people today are still very different from ours, I am going to go back to the Demon Martial Arts tomorrow to customize clothes, and I am exchanging some resources, and my harvest today is not small." ”
"The exchange of loot can be exchanged here, if you want to go back to the Demon Martial Arts, you go back to the logistics office to exchange it, it is not easy to transport the resources of the cave." After saying that, he left in a hurry.
When Chen Fan found Qu Ming, he asked him to help arrange a room, Qu Mingshi smiled and said: "You live in a villa in Mowu, you will definitely not be used to it here, the rooms here are all 8 people, of course, you can also give you a single room to the level of your mentor, don't mind living with others, right?" ”
"I was prepared before I came, I hope that the city can't be particularly big, and most of the warriors and soldiers of the military department must also be a chase shop."
Qu Mingshi glanced at Chen Fan with some regret, "Okay, it's good if you can understand, I have met a lot of incomprehensible Tianjiao after guarding here for so long, most of them can be understood, and a small number of them can't accept it, this kind of person is usually beaten by me to recognize the reality." ”
The corners of Chen Fan's mouth twitched slightly, is this what you mean by beating me, don't think that I didn't pay attention to the look of regret you just now.
While talking, the two walked to a room, knocked on the door, and Qu Ming said, "I'm here, I'm staying for a day, how are you doing?" ”
A weak voice came from inside the room, "It's not good, this time the injury is a bit serious, I haven't been so weak in a long time." ”
Qu Mingshi sighed slightly when he heard this, the cave is still too dangerous, he has seen too many injuries and deaths of these ordinary students, he doesn't know how long it will take to calm the cave, maybe this is just an unrealistic fantasy.
Even if it's just a fantasy, he doesn't want to give up, this goal that he has insisted on for more than ten years, watching the demon martial arts continue to come out of excellent students, he feels that he is getting closer and closer to the dream of pacifying the cave.
Qu Mingshi said to Chen Fan: "Today you will live here temporarily, will you return to the Demon Martial Arts tomorrow or continue to do the task?" Keep doing the quest and I'll help you rearrange your room. ”
"I'll go back to Mowu, my harvest today is not small, it just happens that there is something to do, go back and deal with it again."
"Okay, the loot will come to me tomorrow to redeem, let me see how much you have gained as the first freshman."
"Okay." After finishing speaking, Chen Fan entered the room, the internal space of the room, in the dark, Chen Fan used his mental power to check the surrounding situation, only to see the three students lying on the bed with a weak face, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air.
I entered the room and tidied up my things, found an empty bed, and just lay down, I heard a voice coming, "I'm Li Shao from the junior Weapons Academy, what grade is my brother from?" Did you go on a mission today? ”
"It turned out to be Senior Li, I am Chen Fan, a freshman at the Ordnance Academy, and I also went on a mission today, why was the senior injured so badly?"
"It turned out to be the rookie king, the talent is really good, this has already broken through the third grade, recently Tianmen City has sent a lot of fourth-grade and third-grade martial artists to hunt near us, and there are only three of us left in our team of five, and we are all seriously injured I don't know how long it will take to recover." Li Shao said bitterly.
Chen Fan was also a little uncomfortable, on the first day he went down the cave, he heard the sacrifice of the students of the Demon Martial Arts, but he could imagine the danger of the cave, and he was confident that he would be able to run away if he didn't meet the grandmaster.
These people can't recover their qi and blood like him, and the warriors in the cave are not weak, after so many years of fighting with Hope City, the weak ones have long since died, and the ones left behind are not weak, even the students of the demon martial arts are difficult to kill by leapfrogging.
At this time, Chen Fan really realized the importance of intelligence, how many people were killed and injured in the raid today? This is just a raid of the third or fourth grade, if you really wait for the joint raid of Dongkui City and Tianmen City, the grandmaster is afraid that there will be a lot of casualties, and the old principal in his memory was sacrificed in this raid.
Li Shao saw that Chen Fan didn't respond, thinking that he was frightened, and hurriedly said: "Actually, raids are not very common, after they raid, we will also organize people here to raid, their losses are not small, they don't raid much, you don't have to worry,"
Chen Fan said with a smile: "I'm not worried, today I killed a lot of cave warriors near the meat grinding ground, and it can be regarded as revenge for the senior, and the senior will take good care of his injuries." ”
Li Shao was surprised: "Senior brother also went to the meat grinder today?" Have you met Sipin? ”
"After killing a few Sipin, the strength of the cave warriors is not weak, they are much stronger than the cultists."
The room was silent for a while, Li Shaocai said loudly: "The junior brother is really a heavenly pride, just enter the cave can jump the level to kill the enemy, my demon martial arts every year countless students fall in the Tianmen City, only the more people like the junior brother, we will hope to pacify the cave, I am willing to contribute to this with little ability, even if I die in the cave one day, I have no regrets!" ”
"We will definitely be able to calm the cave, the senior will take good care of his injuries, continue to improve his strength, there will be a day!" Neither of them was talking.
Chen Fan's heart was stirred by these words, he met Liu Yongwen, a third-grade martial artist, as soon as he entered the school, he heard Fu Changding say that this person's talent is not bad but he is unwilling to break through in the middle of the third-grade martial arts, and he also gathered a group of people to challenge Chen Fan and Fang Ping, so that Chen Fan's impression of the senior students of the Demon Martial Arts has always been bad.
Now it is truly relieved, there are people like Liu Yongwen who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and there are also heroes like Li Shao who want to protect human beings and protect the earth after knowing the cave, this kind of person will only be more in the magic martial arts!
With their non-stop fighting, and the non-stop efforts of sacrificing life and death, Chen Fan's ordinary and peaceful life is possible, and he is secretly determined to work harder to improve his strength, just to protect!
