Healing

Ning Yuechan stood like a puppet, without saying a word.

Gongsun Zhi seemed to realize something, and nervously looked around, muttering in a low voice, "Lost her soul? Could it be a Heavenly Demon..."

He took out a dark red small Array Disc and tapped it several times with his finger.

The Array Disc didn't react at all.

Gongsun Zhi felt relieved, looked at Ning Yuechan, then at Gu Qingshan, and closed his mouth.

Since it wasn't a Heavenly Demon devouring her heart, Ning Yuechan wouldn't have any problems. This was a matter between Ning Yuechan and Gu Qingshan, and Gongsun Zhi wouldn't interfere.

Everything has its own cause and effect. This time's life-saving grace was a great cause and effect, and Ning Yuechan had to make her own decision, which no one else could replace.

Gu Qingshan looked at Ning Yuechan, but he was a little anxious.

The Demon Army was coming soon, and this woman was still in a daze, not knowing to quickly heal her injuries.

Once the Demon Army arrived, they wouldn't even need other types of soldiers. Just the Faceless Giants chasing after them would be troublesome.

Thinking of this, Gu Qingshan couldn't hold back any longer. He grabbed Ning Yuechan's Jade Hand and stuffed the Python Demon Gall into it.

He said loudly, "What are you dazing for? If you don't want to die, heal your injuries quickly!"

Gongsun Zhi's face twitched, and he nervously looked at Ning Yuechan, preparing to dissuade him.

This kid actually grabbed Ning Yuechan's hand. Did he really not know how Ning Yuechan dealt with lechers?

Over the years, those who dared to do this had become cripples, unable to cultivate for the rest of their lives.

Under their gazes, Ning Yuechan finally moved.

She took a deep look at Gu Qingshan and said, "Give me half a quarter of an hour. I need to circulate my energy to heal my injuries."

Gongsun Zhi raised his eyebrows in surprise.

When did the Heavenly Peak Holy Maiden Ning Yuechan become so easy to talk to?

Alas, women are so fickle, even harder to understand than arrays, Gongsun Zhi silently shook his head.

Gu Qingshan felt satisfied and immediately said, "That's right."

That's how it should be. Only when the body recovers can one have the strength to fight.

Although he didn't know Ning Yuechan's true strength, in the previous life, she was able to fight bitterly with the Five Great Demon Generals for a day and a night when she was out of ammunition and food and suffered heavy injuries. Her true combat power must not be weak.

Ning Yuechan lowered her head and said softly, "Thank you for your—"

Before Ning Yuechan could finish her sentence, Gu Qingshan had already stopped looking at her. Instead, he pulled Gongsun Zhi to the side and said,

"It just so happens that there's still some time, Senior Gongsun. I have some knowledge of military strategy and have gained some insights into this path. I have some questions I'd like to ask."

This was a grandmaster of arrays, General Dingyuan of the Human Race coalition army, a famous figure in history.

Moreover, historical evaluations stated that he died too early, otherwise the direction of the war would have changed.

Gu Qingshan was also a strategic commander in his previous life. Now that he met Gongsun Zhi, it was like meeting a worthy opponent, and he had long planned to learn from him.

Gongsun Zhi met the other party's fiery gaze, slightly stunned, and said, "Alright."

Gu Qingshan immediately asked, "At the beginning of the war, why did you arrange two battalions of Five Elements Mages in the troop deployment of the southwest highlands?"

Gongsun Zhi said, "About this question, I think this arrangement has three advantages..."

The two quickly started talking.

Ning Yuechan walked to the Prayer Mat and sat down. After a slight hesitation, she removed the Silver Armor Mask from her face.

She released her divine sense, closely monitoring the two, but saw that neither of them turned their heads, nor did they release their divine sense to observe her.

Gongsun Zhi was a world-renowned Dao Madman, obsessed with the path of arrays all his life, and unwilling to even find a Dao companion, saying it was too time-consuming.

It was not surprising that Gongsun Zhi could do this, but why didn't that brat turn his head either?

Ning Yuechan ate the Snake Gall in small bites, occasionally glancing over, only to see Gu Qingshan earnestly asking Gongsun Zhi about military deployment issues.

Ning Yuechan propped up her ears and listened carefully for a while, and found that he was not pretending. The questions he asked were indeed very profound, and Gongsun Zhi had to think for a long time before he could answer.

However, Gongsun Zhi was successfully intrigued and began discussing a certain tactic with Gu Qingshan.

Gongsun Zhi was an arrogant and talented individual, usually holding his head high and not even giving face to the sect leaders. Yet now, he was seriously discussing strategy with this kid, the two of them exchanging ideas and getting more and more excited.

This was truly rare.

Ning Yuechan was surprised, but also felt a little dejected.

—I'm not wearing my mask right now.

Many cultivators, captivated by my beauty, become distracted on the battlefield, leading to frequent mistakes and even costing them their lives.

Wearing the mask is to prevent people from looking, but now that I've taken it off, why isn't he looking?

Ning Yuechan finished the Python Demon Gall and silently put on her Silver Armor Mask.

She felt a strange sense of loss in her heart.

But soon, Ning Yuechan closed her eyes and began to heal, and these chaotic thoughts naturally dissipated.

Military camp.

Zhao Liu dismantled half a house and stacked the wood neatly.

Winter was approaching, and this wood was prepared for heating.

Although the camp had no supplies, fresh water and seasonings were still plentiful.

Many of the Demon Beasts they had killed were still stored. Gu Qingshan only took some as dry rations when he left, and the rest were carefully marinated and preserved by Zhao Liu.

The Array Disc was working well, and Zhao Liu calculated the days, replacing the Spirit Stones on time.

Zhao Liu felt very fulfilled and at ease.

As long as the Human Race alliance organized one or two counterattacks in the coming days, he would be rescued.

A cook who survived alone in the fallen zone of the front line would surely cause a sensation.

Such a heroic feat would surely be met with a grand welcome from his fellow villagers when he returned home.

At that time, with his reputation for bravery, he could marry a good wife and live a glorious life.

As Zhao Liu was thinking, a loud roar suddenly came from outside the camp.

A foot stepped down from the clouds, shaking the earth.

Then, another foot landed.

Soon, the roaring sound faded away.

Zhao Liu looked at the receding behemoth and suddenly felt that his courage had grown after seeing it so many times.

That kid said it was a Chaos Seed's Demons, a Faceless Giant.

No matter how terrifying the Demons were, they were safe behind the Concealment Array.

After seeing it so many times, Zhao Liu felt that this Demons was nothing special.

But strangely, the frequency of this monster's appearance seemed to be increasing.

It was as if it was looking for something, but hadn't found it yet.

As Zhao Liu was thinking, another roar came from the distance.

The sound of footsteps approached again.

Zhao Liu sighed with some annoyance, preparing to go back to the barracks to rest after this round of footsteps disappeared.

After waiting for a while, the footsteps disappeared again.

Zhao Liu yawned and walked towards the barracks.

He inadvertently glanced at the gate of the military camp and froze in place.

Those terrifying, huge feet were standing motionless at the gate of the military camp.

The sky suddenly darkened, and the entire military camp was plunged into darkness.

Zhao Liu looked up and saw a terrifying hand, as large as the sky, descending from the sky.

The thin spiritual light surrounding the military camp flickered slightly, collapsing like a bubble in front of the giant hand.

It's over.

Zhao Liu watched the terrifying hand getting closer and closer, and Gu Qingshan's persuasion suddenly echoed in his ears.

Endless regret surged into his heart, and Zhao Liu howled loudly.

"Don't! Don't eat me!"

This was Zhao Liu's last cry in this world.
