Chen Xiaoyi pondered for a while, thinking that there was really no evil element in the City of No Return.

Although this thing is precious, it has not reached the level that Zhang Anling can't afford.

Since this list has been given as it is, it proves that Zhang Anling is willing to break the fortune and eliminate the disaster, and does not want to have a grudge with himself, so there is no reason to deliberately save an evil element.

But if you don't return to the city, you can't say anything.

Chen Xiaoyi faintly captured something, he patted his head, and said to himself: "Zhang Anling, Zhang Anling, how many famous halls have you made in the city of no return, I don't want to know your, but why do you feel that you are getting deeper and deeper?"

The Evil Element is a precious dark material.

Usually born after the death of a dark creature, it is a pure energy crystal formed by the fusion of dead air and the dark force under certain conditions.

Now is the time for dark creatures to besiege the city, and there are countless dark creatures dying on the front line every day, it should be the time when the evil elements appear in large numbers, how can there be a shortage?

Chen Xiaoyi put away the space bag, immediately left the villa, came to the main city alone, entered a few wine shops, and found some material merchants to consult.

Sure enough, there was no evil element.

And all of them were taken away by the Shoucheng Mansion at a high price.

"Zhang Anling accepted all the evil yuan at a high price, but he couldn't take out a single one......"

Chen Xiaoyi suddenly felt a chill down his spine, although the evil element is precious, but for humans, the scope of use is extremely small, but the dark clan uses it a lot.

His face was solemn, and he suddenly saw Cao Song in a wine shop, drinking alone.

Chen Xiaoyi immediately stepped forward, took out a stool, sat directly opposite Cao Song, picked up the wine on the table, poured himself a glass, and drank it all.

Cao Song looked at him, his eyes were complicated, and he sighed and said: "It's really unpredictable, a month ago, you and I were in Zulu, you were a death row prisoner, and I was a prison officer, and now I am sitting in a tavern in a border city in Youlu, drinking wine face to face." ”

"It's because the world is unpredictable that life is interesting. ”

Chen Xiaoyi smiled slightly, toasted Cao Song, and asked, "Lieutenant Cao seems to have a mind?"

Cao Song let out a "hmm", took a sip of the wine in the cup, and his face was ugly.

"Let me guess, Lieutenant Cao and Brigadier Colonel Qingwen just finished inspecting the defensive position, and they came here to drink alcohol, is there a problem with the position?"

Chen Xiaoyi poured him another glass and said lightly.

Cao Song's hand trembled slightly, the wine spilled out, and his eyes suddenly became sharp, staring at Chen Xiaoyi, as if he wanted to see through him.

"Take it easy, it's your own people. ”

Chen Xiaoyi smiled, filled himself again, and toasted him again.

Cao Song retracted his gaze at this time, drank the wine in the cup fiercely, pressed heavily on the table with a "pop", and said in a condensed voice: "We may be finished." ”

"Huh?" Chen Xiaoyi was stunned, although he guessed that Cao Song might have discovered something, but he said that he was going to be finished, which still made him a little unable to react.

"Is it so serious?" Chen Xiaoyi asked.

"Do you believe me?" Cao Song stared at him.

Chen Xiaoyi smiled and said, "They all said that they were their own people, and among our group, only Lieutenant Cao had really been on the battlefield and fought with dark creatures on the ancestral land. I don't believe you, do you still believe those guys who play with their own soft eggs all day long?"

Cao Song showed a look of relief and shouted with emotion: "Brother!"

Then he began to say: "I inspected the defense line with the brigadier today, and found that the defense line level of the city of no return is a second-level military fortress, but the siege of the city is full of low-level demon creatures, mainly demon lizards, demon boars, demon cheetahs, and slightly more advanced demon red eagles are rare, such strength, not to mention the second-level fortress, even the first-level fortress is more than enough." ”

Chen Xiaoyi said: "Isn't this a good thing?"

Cao Song smiled bitterly: "If it's just like this on the surface, of course it's a good thing." I have fought north and south on the ancestral land, and I have fought with dark creatures more than a hundred times, but I have never seen such a gentle siege, and behind these demon creatures, there must be more powerful dark creatures controlling them. ”

Chen Xiaoyi thought of what Zhang Anling said that night, "Let them come early next time", which is consistent with Cao Song's speculation at the moment.

Cao Song continued: "Although I can't guess what level the dark creature behind it is, he definitely has intentions. And I also found that the defenders of the city who did not return to the city were disorganized, lacked training for a long time, and the equipment in the fortress was dilapidated and aging, and it was very likely that there would be a situation of eating empty salaries and drinking the blood of the soldiers. ”

In fact, judging from the virtues of Zhang Anling and Zhang Wei, Chen Xiaoyi can guess the situation of the defenders of the city of no return.

He asked in a deep voice, "Have you told Brigadier Colonel Qingwen about this?"

Cao Song took a sip of wine and sighed: "I said it, but the brigadier didn't seem to care." ”

Chen Xiaoyi said in her heart, Luo Qingwen may not be unimpressed, but she has never experienced these situations, even if she tells her, she is afraid that she will not know what to do for a while.

Chen Xiaoyi thought for a while, and then said, "I have one thing, and I want to ask my brother for a favor." ”

After speaking, he whispered in Cao Song's ear for a while.

Cao Song was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he nodded: "Don't worry, brother, I will definitely complete the task!"

The two immediately parted at the wine shop.

Chen Xiaoyi went back to the villa directly, he went straight into the bedroom and began to tinker.

The conversation with Cao Song, especially the matter of Evil Yuan, made him have a deep sense of worry and oppression, although he didn't want to get caught up in Zhang Anling's broken matter, but once the fortress was breached or other circumstances, it would greatly threaten the safety of him and Luo Qingwen, and he must improve his strength as soon as possible.

In the evening, Chen Xiaoyi refined a few black pills, he picked a few, swallowed them one after another, and then sat cross-legged on the bed and cultivated.

This is a kind of elixir called "Dark Spirit Pill", which contains the dark force, which is often taken by demons, and once ordinary Force messengers accidentally eat this pill, it is easy to be polluted by the dark force, and thus fall into darkness.

But he has the Golden Light Force, which has its own purification function, and the Dark Force is relatively weak and cannot pollute his circuits and divine destiny.

The Dark Spirit Pill dissolved in his body, and the thick dark Force spread, invading his body, and then entering the Force circuit.

Chen Xiaoyi's body was black and white, and his hands were quickly sealed.

Soon a burst of golden light emerged in the body, and the Force came out of the divine destiny, flowed through the circuit, and then returned to the divine destiny, completing a week.

The Dark Force was purified, but the Force in the body seemed to grow.

"It worked!"

Chen Xiaoyi was overjoyed.

He is now cultivating in a different way, but whenever there is a possible way, he has to give it a try.

This method of borrowing the power of the dark force to cultivate is also something that I thought of after fighting Zhang Wu, and it really worked.

"The Black Spirit Pill is effective, so the Breaking Erdan should be even more powerful. ”

Chen Xiaoyi was looking forward to it in his heart.

It's night.

There was a slight noise outside the villa.

Chen Xiaoyi immediately came out of his cultivation and opened the door.

It was Cao Song who came in, he looked behind him, his face was full of excitement and nervousness, and whispered, "Found it!"

"Let's go!"

A gleam flashed in Chen Xiaoyi's eyes, and he immediately closed the door.

The two ran lightly into the distance, and Chen Xiaoyi also glanced at the villa next to him, where the lights had been turned off.

The two ran for a while, and a figure came out of the corner, which was Cao Song's soldiers.

"The lieutenant and the Chen guard, this is the rut. ”

The soldier crouched down, pointed to the ground, scratched lightly on it, and then pointed into the distance and said, "The car has been out of the city for about half an hour." ”

The bluestone road was full of ruts, and the one pointed out by the soldiers was easy to identify.

Chen Xiaoyi looked at the rut print, his eyes were slightly condensed, and he said slowly: "The task is complete, it's time to call it a day." ”

Cao Song was stunned and said, "Call it a day?"

Chen Xiaoyi nodded and said, "Call it a day." ”

Cao Song grabbed him by the collar and said angrily: "Don't tell me, this matter is over!"

Chen Xiaoyi looked at him calmly and asked rhetorically, "Otherwise?"

Cao Song's eyes were cold, and he said coldly: "The city of no return is located in a remote area, the roads are rugged, and it is difficult to transport materials by heavy trucks. So this heavy truck must not have been transported to the central part of Youzhou, so isn't it doubtful where it will be transported?"

Chen Xiaoyi asked again: "It's very doubtful, but what does this have to do with you and me?"

Cao Song said angrily: "Chen Xiaoyi, don't pretend! If you don't make any further moves, will you let me investigate?"

Chen Xiaoyi smiled, patted Cao Song's hand, asked him to let go, and then said: "Investigation is one thing, further action is another. What we have to do is to grasp the situation as much as possible, and if things change, we will not be in a hurry, but before things change, you and I are not capable of doing anything, right?"

Cao Song's face was blue and white for a while, what Chen Xiaoyi said was right, and he couldn't refute it.

Chen Xiaoyi said again: "You and I don't have this ability, but there is one person who does, you can tell her all these situations, but don't tell me." ”

Cao Song was stunned and said, "You mean the brigadier school?"

Chen Xiaoyi nodded and said: "Exactly, Brigadier Colonel Qingwen is unparalleled in talent, and her strength and identity are enough to suppress Zhang Anling, but she is too young, and it is the first time to train, where is Zhang Anling, the opponent of the old fox? At this time, you are the only one who can help Brigadier Qingwen, and you are the only Lieutenant Cao who has experienced a hundred battles among our group." ”

Cao Song's eyes condensed slightly, stared at Chen Xiaoyi for a long time, and said, "Escort Chen, I don't think you are simple. ”

Chen Xiaoyi said with a smile: "It's not simple, it's just a few more books, a mortal body is a mortal body after all, and it can't affect the overall situation at all, isn't it?"

Cao Song frowned slightly, what he said was true, but he always felt that something was wrong.

Or that there is something wrong with Chen Xiaoyi.

But Chen Xiaoyi must be a mortal, otherwise he would have been mad on the execution ground that day.

Cao Song wondered in his heart, why did he have such a strange feeling, what was wrong......
