Chen Yan Looking at the carefully tended medicinal fields, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
As expected of a person with the East Continent blood flowing through his veins...
Even in the wilderness, the talent for farming has been engraved in his bones, and he has opened up medicinal gardens of this scale.
Finally, Uncle Zhou stopped in front of a two-story building that looked relatively neat and made of bluestone.
He ordered the three Qiu Family siblings:
"Go and clean up a clean room upstairs for guests to stay in."
"Yes, Uncle Zhou!" The three siblings responded.
Before Qiu Yashuang went upstairs, he blinked at Chen Yan quickly. Then he seemed to remember something and raised his voice and shouted:
"Uncle Zhou! My knife! It was broken by him. You have to ask him to pay me a new one!"
After saying that, Uncle Zhou ran up the stairs briskly without waiting for Uncle Zhou's reaction.
Uncle Zhou finally showed a helpless expression on his face. He shook his head and said to Chen Yan, "Let's go into the house and talk."
The furnishings in the house are simple, but they are kept very neatly.
Uncle Zhou walked to the table, picked up the kettle and gestured to pour water, his tone sounded like casual chat:
"That half-step sixth-level Earth Scale Python, its scale armor is comparable to alloy, and its counterattack before death is even more ferocious. Isn't it difficult to kill?"
Chen Yan Hearing this, alarm bells rang in his heart!
Almost as soon as Uncle Zhou finished speaking, a fierce palm wind came quietly and hit the door directly in front of him!
Chen Yan's reaction was unusually fast. It was almost his body's instinct before thinking. He raised his right fist like a dragon and blocked it in front of him.
The fists and palms met, making a dull sound of energy clashing.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
After the first blow, Uncle Zhou's offensive did not stop.
Three or four more attacks were launched in succession, either with fingers or palms, with cunning angles and sharp and concentrated power, but they did not leave any trace on Chen Yan's body.
Chen Yan's body remained still, his fists blocked or blocked, his steps slightly adjusted, and he took all these tests.
The movements are smooth and natural, with a subtle and majestic meaning.
The two of them fell in love at the first touch and stopped at the touch of a button.
Uncle Zhou stopped his hands and stood still, a light flashed in his eyes.
He looked at Chen Yan carefully, with a tone of determination and a hint of reminiscence:
"Yellow-Black Fist... That's a good fight. Look at the heat, is it a success?"
"Are you the son of that old boy Du Chun, or are you his apprentice?"
He paused and a weird smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "You don't look like him. You are much prettier than he was when he was young."
Chen Yan thought.
He immediately followed the trend, bowed slightly, and said with just the right amount of respect in his tone, "Senior, do you know the teacher?"
Hearing Chen Yan call Du Chun "teacher", Zhou Li's face showed a subtle expression of "Sure enough," and the tense atmosphere instantly relaxed a lot.
He waved his hand, picked up the kettle again, and this time actually poured two glasses of water.
"More than just acquaintance..." Zhou Li snorted, with a complicated tone, as if he was remembering many old things.
"We fought a lot back then, from south to north, just to fight over who would be the 'Xiang Province No. 1 Prodigy'..."
"His stubborn temper is quite different from the calmness of your fist."
When Uncle Zhou was collecting the Earth Scale Python beast core before, he keenly sensed that there was a trace of pure and unique Earth Vein Power remaining in the wound of the snake corpse.
Those are the traces left by Yellow-Black Fist when he has practiced to an advanced level.
At this moment, after some testing, it was found that what Chen Yan was performing was the extremely pure Yellow-Black Fist, and its attainments were extremely high.
This made him immediately connect Chen Yan with his old friend Du Chun.
Just when Chen Yan thought that Uncle Zhou was about to fall into a long memory of the past years, Uncle Zhou quickly restrained that fleeting emotion.
His eyes became sharp again and he asked directly:
"You kid came all the way to this wilderness camp. You probably didn't come to see me, an old guy, on your behalf, right?"
Chen Yan did not beat around the bush and said calmly:
"Junior comes here because he wants to borrow a detailed map from senior to have a look at."
"Oh? Where are you going?" Uncle Zhou put down the water glass.
"Black Wind Valley."
Uncle Zhou had a flash of understanding in his eyes, leaned back slightly, and tapped his fingers on the table:
"Black Wind Valley... You want to go because you want to join the army, right?"
Chen Yan is noncommittal.
Uncle Zhou saw this and laughed playfully, with a bit of ridicule from someone who had come before. "Boy, you don't think anyone can go to the front line casually, do you?"
"Especially if you want to join the battle sequence directly. Either, you have a good relationship in the Alliance, and a letter of recommendation will be sent directly; or, you are a student of various martial arts universities that have a cooperative relationship with the Alliance, going there in the name of internship or graduation mission. What do you have?"
Chen Yan met his gaze. "I have strength, and I am not afraid of death."
Uncle Zhou looked at him steadily for a few seconds, as if trying to find even a trace of bluff on his face.
However, Chen Yan's eyes were clear and calm, without any guilt.
It's just a clone. If you die, you'll become another one. What's there to be afraid of?
After a long while, Uncle Zhou drank the remaining water in the cup, as if he had made some determination.
He put the cup on the table with a "dong" sound. The sound was not loud, but it carried an undoubted weight:
"Okay! Now, I can give you this recommendation qualification."
He changed the topic and stared at Chen Yan with burning eyes:
"But, there is a condition!"
"You must take these three children, Qiu Yashuang, Qiu Rao, and Qiu Jiu, safely away from the frontline area and send them to the real rear area!"
"Jiang City, or any other safe city, must be a place that the Alliance effectively controls and is far away from the flames of war!"
"At their age... they should be going to school in a bright classroom instead of living with their heads in this hellish place."
"If you have the ability... help them arrange schools and let them live the life that normal children should live. This is my condition!"
Chen Yan was stunned when he heard this, and thought that it would be easy to take them away from the front line. Can they arrange a school?
How can he get this energy when he is still in kindergarten and has to be picked up and dropped off by his mother?
Before he can explain or refuse...
"Bang!"
The door was slammed open, and Qiu Yashuang rushed in like a gust of wind.
Her eyes were red, and she rushed directly in front of Uncle Zhou, grabbing his arm tightly, and her voice was crying:
"Uncle Zhou! You can't do this! You can't drive us away!"
Immediately afterwards, Qiu Rao and Qiu Jiu also ran in, with panic and stubbornness written on their faces. They stood next to Qiu Yashuang on the left and right, staring at Uncle Zhou.
With Chen Yan's finesse Divine Might, it was natural that he had already discovered that these three little guys had been eavesdropping outside the door.
"Uncle Zhou!" Qiu Yashuang's voice was high-pitched and questioning, "You promised my mother! What did you say in front of her hospital bed?"
"You said you would take good care of us and treat us as your own children! What you are doing now... are you going to leave us to a stranger?"
"What kind of care do you have! You are irresponsible!"
Qiu Rao also held his neck and shouted, "Yes! Uncle Zhou! We won't leave! This is our home!"
Qiu Jiu is the youngest and has a clumsy mouth. He can only nod vigorously, his eyes are red, and he repeats. "We won't leave! We won't leave!"
Facing the barrage of questions from the three siblings, Uncle Zhou's muscles on his face twitched slightly, but he did not scold him as harshly as usual.
He just listened quietly, his eyes slowly scanning every face, and a smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
After the initial excitement was vented, Qiu Yashuang took a few deep breaths, raised his hand and wiped his face vigorously.
When he raised his head again, the emotions in his eyes had completely calmed down.
What replaced it was an almost cold calmness, completely different from the girl who just threw herself into Uncle Zhou's arms and begged desperately.
Perhaps, they all know deep down in their hearts that once Uncle Zhou makes a decision, there will be no room for change.
After years of relying on each other, they have learned to quickly accept reality in despair.
Uncle Zhou glanced at the three siblings who fell silent instantly. There was no expression on their faces, and they just said lightly:
"Are you done crying? When you're done crying, take the guests upstairs to rest. I still have things to deal with..."
After saying that, he didn't even look at them anymore, turned around, and left the room with steady steps, leaving the heavy and speechless atmosphere to the young people behind him.
Chen Yan Looking at the storm that quickly subsided in front of him, he felt an inexplicable irritation in his heart.
This irritability stems not only from the unpleasant entrustment in front of me, but also from this damn world...
Why has it become so common in this world to care for one's children and part ways through life and death?
Chen Yan didn't know the answer, so he just followed Qiu Yashuang sister and brother upstairs in silence.
At the same time, deep in the camp, inside a stone house used as a conference room.
All professional-level warriors, whether on duty or resting, are here at this moment.
People silently found their own stools to sit down, no one talked, and all looked at the door invariably, waiting for the arrival of Zhou Li.
As the leader with the highest level of cultivation and the strongest combat power in the camp, Zhou Li has always been a figure like a sea-fixing needle in the eyes of everyone.
His calmness and strength are important pillars that support the camp's survival in the crisis-ridden wilderness.
Now, he urgently summoned all the core combat forces late at night, because something important related to the survival of the camp must have happened.
Combined with the riot of ferocious beasts in the west last night, most people have some speculations in their hearts.
When Zhou Li's figure finally appeared at the door, everyone's eyes were focused on him.
There was no uneasy commotion, no eagerness to expect good news, only an almost numb calm...
After surviving in the wilderness for a long time, the threshold for accepting bad news has been infinitely raised.
Zhou Li walked to the main seat without sitting down, and slowly scanned every face present.
His expression was unprecedentedly indifferent, as if he was stating something that had nothing to do with him...
But it was this indifference that made everyone's hearts sink.
He spoke, his voice was not high, but it reached everyone's ears clearly, and the words were like ice:
"Just received the latest information."
"Thunder Cloud Eagle King is entrenched in the north of Thunder Roar Mountain, and a breakthrough is imminent."
He paused and gave everyone a few seconds to digest this horrifying information.
"If there are no accidents, it will take up to five days. In order to stabilize the new realm and vent its power, it will drive all the flying ferocious beasts under its command, as well as the beasts in the surrounding area..."
"... launch a large-scale beast tide. The first goal is to clear out all... human strongholds around Windless City."
After the words fell, there was a deathly silence in the conference room.
The expectation came true, even worse than expected.
This is not a small-scale riot, but a wave of extermination beasts driven by King Rank ferocious beasts.
