Chapter 167: Refusal
The high-ranking soldiers who rushed to the outermost periphery did not fight to the point of exhausting their strength.
In fact, after the second-tier battle line of the eighth-level soldiers was constructed, they no longer blindly fought to the death with the giant beasts.
Because their mission had been accomplished and their team was holding their ground, they switched to the second tier, and the heavily wounded senior soldiers would retreat in time.
If you want to win a battle, you don't have to rush up and fight with the enemy until the last moment, only the courage of blood and strength cannot defeat a strong enemy, courage must be combined with scientific and reasonable tactics to maximize combat power.
In a fierce battle, the behemoths failed to break through their positions, but suffered heavy casualties.
When their casualties were close to half and several times that of the soldiers, the giant beasts finally couldn't hold on, and it was impossible to block the firepower of the soldiers, so they retreated one after another.
But even when they retreated, the behemoths did not leave in a swarm, although they were fast, they did not appear to be flustered, and some kind of organization still existed.
Of course, Su An was not the only one who noticed this characteristic of the giant beasts, in fact, most of the soldiers had already realized that there was likely to be an extraordinary existence standing behind these giant beasts.
That's most likely a demon monk.
Therefore, when the giant beast retreated, the commander did not give the order to pursue.
Just when the giant beasts withdrew several hundred meters and Su An thought that the battle was over, the giant beasts were fleeing in front of them, and at a distance of about seven or eight hundred meters, there was a sudden dense sound of gunfire and grenade explosions!
"Someone blocked the retreating beast?" Su An immediately thought of this possibility.
There was no doubt that the behemoths were the ones who took the initiative in this battle tonight, they took the initiative to attack and retreat, and in the dangerous and mysterious giant tree forest, the team did not dare to rush into pursuit, so they could have retreated steadily.
But now, it seems that they have changed from hunting to prey.
The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind.
Su An looked at the commander not far ahead, wanting to see what the other party would do.
What is certain is that there are not only transcendents of the Demon Clan, Yan Kingdom, and Zhongshan Kingdom in this ruin, but also the Bohai Kingdom, the Church, the rebels, and other camps that may attack the Demon Clan.
In this situation, someone must have taken advantage of the situation and launched an attack on the giant beasts when their combat strength was greatly reduced and their minds were in turmoil.
The commander's arrangement was simple, on the one hand, he ordered the team to continue to be on guard and ready to continue the battle at any time, and on the other hand, he sent several senior soldiers to quietly run to the front to reconnoiter the situation.
Su An agrees with the commander's approach, if it were him, there would be no more arrangements at this moment.
It didn't take long for Fang Ming and the others who went to investigate to return with information one after another.
As most people expected, someone had indeed attacked the giant beast in front of them, and in addition, there was a group of demon monks who had their backs stolen along with the giant beast, and there were many casualties.
It was the Bohai Kingdom Transcendents who attacked them, with a team of nearly three hundred people, while the Demon Clan Cultivators only had a few dozen, so the Bohai Kingdom Transcendents had the advantage.
Fang Ming had already connected with the people of the Bohai Kingdom, and the other party invited the team to follow, and the two sides attacked back and forth, gathering and annihilating these giant beasts and demon clan monks.
After consulting with a few people, the team commander rejected the invitation of the transcendent of the Bohai Kingdom.
The soldiers had just fought the behemoth, and although they were victorious due to their quick reflexes, clever tactics, and heroic fighting, there were not many casualties, but many of them were very drained by the Force.
The team does have the strength to fight, but there is no point in using it to attack a group of behemoths that have already failed, and if something unexpected happens in the battle, the team will not have the strength to deal with it.
Hearing the commander's order to let the team rest on the spot, Su An breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that these people would rush forward as soon as their brains were hot, after all, the soldiers had just fought bravely.
After about half an hour, the movement of the battle ahead gradually weakened until it completely stopped.
Because the team did not participate in the battle, the giant beasts and demon cultivators were not surrounded, they successfully escaped after paying a certain price, and the transcendents of the Bohai Kingdom did not chase them out either.
Ten minutes later, a group of transcendents from the Bohai Kingdom arrived at the team's camp, and they proposed that the two sides join forces and explore the ruins together.
"In this battle for the ruins, the demon clan has the advantage and is strong, they know many secrets of the secret realm, and the danger is greater than outside, as evidenced by the fact that they can drive the giant beasts to fight.
"The human camp should unite with each other to advance and retreat together, so that they can compete with the demon clan for many treasures, if they fight separately, the result is likely to be broken by the other party."
The one who spoke was a tenth-level soldier, with a handsome face and a long body, and when he spoke, he was smiling and polite, giving people a feeling of being very approachable.
He didn't bother with the fact that everyone just refused to help, causing the giant beast and the demon cultivator to escape.
Su An looked over from the branch on the side, heard the other party's self-introduction, and remembered the other party's name: He Chengfeng.
I have to admit that He Chengfeng's reasons are very sufficient.
Su An had received an official announcement before he set off, and the human side of this operation was an alliance, and the transcendents of the Yan Kingdom could cooperate with the people of the Bohai Kingdom and the Zhongshan Kingdom.
In their team, there are both transcendents of the Yan Kingdom and soldiers of the Zhongshan Kingdom, and now they will unite with the people of the Bohai Kingdom, and they will have the Triple Alliance.
The person who talked to He Chengfeng was Zhu Feng, to Su An's surprise, Zhu Feng politely rejected He Chengfeng's proposal, and said it very politely, but the meaning was very clear, he just wanted to act on his own.
He Chengfeng tried again and again, trying to persuade Zhu Feng, but the latter was resolute, and in the end he could only leave with regrets:
"Then I can only wish you good luck, if we meet in front of the ruins and treasures, and hope that Captain Zhu can restrain his subordinates, I can also guarantee that my people will never take the initiative to shoot at you."
Looking at He Chengfeng leaving, Zheng Nanzhi approached Su An and asked in a low voice, "Do you know why Captain Zhu rejected He Chengfeng?" ”
She was a little puzzled and didn't quite understand Zhu Feng's behavior.
Su An thought for a while: "When facing the demon clan, the teams of the three kingdoms are naturally in the same camp, of course they can work together, but what if they are facing the treasure of the ruins?" ”
Zheng Nanzhi suddenly realized: "Everyone is here for the treasure, if you are facing a rich treasure, it is inevitable that others will not disagree."
"If the treasure is well distributed, it's fine, if it's not well distributed, maybe each other will be red-eyed, and even swords and soldiers will meet each other."
After saying that, she turned her head and stared at Su An with affection, her eyes were full of admiration, and she said in a very young daughter's posture: "You are so good, there is no problem that can be difficult for you." ”
It is difficult for transcendents within a country to achieve one mind, and it is indispensable to fight, such as Su An and Xu Rong, not to mention teams from different countries? Wealth moves people's hearts, and many times the premise of not being tempted is often just because the value of wealth is not big enough.
Su An turned his head and glanced at Zheng Nanzhi deeply: "Sect Master Zheng, your acting skills are not very good. ”
Zheng Nanzhi blinked his innocent eyes, indicating that he didn't understand what Su An was saying.
Su An didn't bother to say much, and returned to his previous position to meditate and breathe and restore his strength.
The truth just now is not difficult, and it is impossible to imagine it with Zheng Nanzhi's status and ability.
But she pretended not to understand anything to ask Su An, and showed a look of admiration after Su An said the answer, just to give Su An a chance to show herself, and also to give herself a chance to express her admiration for Su An.
Many men eat this set, but Su An doesn't eat it.
He was even dismissive.
In the second half of the night, the team remained vigilant and even strengthened the sentry, but there were no further accidents.
At dawn, Su An's Force had fully recovered, and he felt that his cultivation had progressed.
Although the time to enter the ruins is not long, there are fierce battles every day, the Force continues to be polished, and the potential is further stimulated, Su An feels that he is not so far away from the sixth level.
Throughout the morning, the team did not move. Some of the soldiers' injuries are not yet healed, and it will take half a day to recover.
At noon, after a brief meal of dry food, the team set off again.
Because of last night's events, the team did not speed up, and continued to follow the rhythm of yesterday, and until it was dark, the team did not encounter any situation, nor did it find anything of value.
However, as they delved deeper into the ruins, each soldier could sense through the clues that they were getting closer and closer to the treasure.
In the evening, the team camped again and rested, without any intention of risking the night to travel.
On the third day, the team officially entered the "main city" of the ruins, the giant trees were thicker and taller, the undulating mountains were more majestic, and the "residences" and "caves" of the ancient demon monks were becoming more and more spacious, and the objects inside increased significantly, leaving traces of something being taken away.
It was Zhu Feng who led the way in front of him, and in the afternoon, he brought back good news from the front.
"Five hundred meters away, there is an inconspicuous hill with thorns and bushes, I didn't plan to explore deeply, but the ghost sent the gods in, and there was a major discovery!"
Zhu Feng looked quite excited, "Guess what?" Inside the hill are connected caves, and there are caves that have not been entered by the demon clan!
"It's so rich in ancient objects that it's dizzying, I just looked at it twice, and then I got a good thing!"
Under the gaze of Su An and the others, Zhu Feng took out a long knife that looked very ordinary in both shape and appearance, and injected the rune array of the blade urged by the Force:
"Look!"
The Force array lit up one after another, and the blade immediately exuded a breathtaking and dangerous aura.
There is no doubt that the Force longknife is well preserved and still functional.
"It's just a fifth-level long knife, what's so special?"
Fang Ming didn't care, the mid-level fighters might think that this sword was supernatural, but he could see it very clearly, this was just a fifth-level battle knife.
Zhu Feng pointed to the war knife on Fang Ming's waist and motioned for the other party to pull it out, and then he let out a low cry and swung the knife down: "Look at it!" ”
Fang Ming raised his battle knife and collided with the long knife in Zhu Feng's hand.
A jaw-dropping scene appeared, both of them were fifth-level Force weapons, and the battle knife in Fang Ming's hand was like a rubber, and everything was broken in two by the knife in Zhu Feng's hand!
"How sharp is this knife?"
"Is it more than sharpness? And the peculiarities! ”
