Chen Ying's voice was full of yin and yang, and the jealousy and malice in it almost overflowed.
His words seemed like he was complaining about Lu Chen, but in fact they were putting him on the fire.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Lu Chen.
Deputy Commander Liu frowned and was about to speak.
But Captain Li raised his hand to stop him, looked at Chen Ying calmly, and asked lightly, "Oh? According to Centurion Chen, what should we do?"
"In my humble opinion," Chen Ying bowed, with a cruel curve at the corner of his mouth, "We know nothing about the situation inside Blood Mist now, and sending a large force in hastily will only increase casualties. There must be an elite team that goes deep into the core of Blood Mist, finds out the source, and points the way for us."
"The leader of this team must be strong, mentally determined, and... very lucky!"
He raised his head and stared at Lu Chen with burning eyes.
"Looking at the entire Demon Suppression Division, besides Lu Deputy Commander, who has ancient blood and has repeatedly achieved miracles, who else can take on this important task?!"
As soon as these words came out, there was a dead silence in the Council Hall.
Everyone looked at Lu Chen with sympathy as if they were looking at someone dead.
How is this a recommendation? This is clearly pushing him into a pit of fire!
Going deep into the core of Blood Mist? What is the difference between that and reporting directly to the underworld?!
Deputy Commander Liu's face instantly turned livid, and he was about to retort angrily, but Lu Chen slowly walked out of the crowd before him.
He did not look at the triumphant face of Chen Ying, but calmly clasped his fists at Captain Li in the main seat.
"Master Captain, what Centurion Chen said... makes sense."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was shocked!
Even Chen Ying himself was slightly startled, obviously not expecting that Lu Chen would take the initiative to take over this hot potato.
Crazy! This guy must be crazy!
"Although my subordinates are not very talented and have little knowledge, they are loyal to the emperor because of his salary. Now that we are facing a great crisis, I have to take the lead." Lu Chen's voice was straight and without a trace of emotion, as if he was talking about an ordinary thing.
"But I have a condition."
An extremely complicated light flashed in Captain Li's eyes. He took a deep look at Lu Chen and said in a deep voice, "Say."
"I need... someone." Lu Chen slowly turned his head and his eyes fell on Chen Ying, "I need Centurion Chen to go with me."
"What?!" Chen Ying's expression suddenly changed, as if someone had stepped on his tail severely. "Lu Chen, what do you mean?!"
"It's not interesting." A innocent and harmless smile appeared on Lu Chen's face, "Centurion Chen admires me so much, so he must be very confident in my trip. In this case, why don't you come with me and witness with your own eyes how I made this extraordinary contribution to the company? You can also be a witness for me, so that in the future... no one will say that I rely on luck."
"You... you are avenging a private vendetta!" Chen Ying was so angry that he was shaking all over.
"Centurion Chen is joking." The smile on Lu Chen's face became brighter. "I just think that this trip is extremely dangerous. Having a colleague as strong as Centurion Chen can increase the chance of winning. What? Could it be that... Centurion Chen is afraid?"
Afraid?
In front of Captain Li and all his colleagues, Chen Ying couldn't say the word "fear" no matter what!
His face turned the color of pig liver, his chest heaved violently, and he stared at Lu Chen with a look that wanted to eat him alive.
"Okay... Okay! What a Lu Chen!" Chen Ying squeezed out a few words through his teeth, "Go ahead! I want to see how sexy your so-called 'Fortunate General' is!"
"So, very good."
Lu Chen bowed to Captain Li again.
"Sir, I'd like to ask you to set off immediately!"
Captain Li looked at the two tit-for-tat young men below in silence for a long time before slowly nodding.
"Accurate."
A quarter of an hour later, on the west side of Demon Suppression Division, in front of the side door specially used for emergency dispatch.
A temporary elite team has been assembled.
Lu Chen was dressed in black and had Hundred Refinements Saber on his waist, standing at the front of the team with a calm expression.
Behind him is Chen Ying with a livid face and vicious eyes.
After that, there are Zhao Da Niu, Sun Monkey and the other three most experienced old Imperial Guard who were personally selected by Deputy Commander Liu.
A group of seven people is the entire force that goes deep into the core of Blood Mist this time.
"Lu Deputy Commander, everyone has arrived." Liu Quan came to see him off in person. He walked to Lu Chen, lowered his voice, and spoke at a volume that only two people could hear. He said, "Chen Ying That kid is narrow-minded. This trip will definitely cause trouble for you. Be careful in everything. Remember, the situation is not right and it is important to save your life. Demon Suppression Division... I can't live without you anymore."
This newly promoted deputy 100-year-old had unabashed concern and solicitude in his words.
"Thank you Deputy Commander Liu for reminding Lu Chen." Lu Chen nodded, with a warm feeling in his heart.
"And this." Liu Quan took out another pouch from his arms and stuffed it into Lu Chen's hand, "These are three 'Qingyang Sha-Breaking Pill', which have a miraculous effect on Blood Demon Cult's blood evil aura. They can save lives at critical moments."
Lu Chen did not refuse and solemnly took it into his arms.
"Let's go!"
Following Lu Chen's command, the heavy iron door slowly opened, and a group of seven people, like seven black arrows leaving the string, rushed straight towards the squirming and expanding bloody restricted area in the distance without any hesitation.
The closer we get, the sweeter the smell of blood becomes in the air, becoming almost suffocating.
The once bustling streets were now deserted, leaving only messes and abandoned goods on the ground, and a dead silence.
When they finally stopped at the edge of the slowly rolling Blood Mist like a living creature, everyone felt as if they were standing at the entrance to hell.
Within Blood Mist, the visibility was less than three feet, and countless vague figures were looming among them, accompanied by a creepy "clicking" sound like a beast gnawing flesh and blood, and an extremely suppressed low roar.
"Damn this damn thing, just looking at it makes people's scalp numb." Zhao Da Niu swallowed and subconsciously clenched the knife in his hand.
"Put Sha Breaking Pill under your tongue, calm down, and don't be infected by the evil spirit of blood!" Lu Chen's voice was calm without a trace of ripples. He was the first to take out the Qingyang Sha-Breaking Pill from his arms and put it into his mouth.
A cool and pure medicinal power instantly melted away, like a layer of tough barrier covering the mind, blocking out the pervasive blood and violence.
Others quickly followed suit.
Even Chen Ying, who had always been cold-hearted towards Lu Chen, did not dare to be careless at this moment and honestly took the elixir in his mouth.
"I'll go in and explore the way first." Lu Chen said nothing nonsense. He glanced at the serious-faced people beside him and said, "You should follow me three steps behind and maintain your formation. No matter what you see or hear, no one is allowed to take action without my order."
