Willow Leaf Town.
At this moment, the entire small town had been reduced to ruins.
A thick smell of blood permeated every corner, corpses littered the ground, and blood dyed the earth red.
Among these corpses were not only humans but also Demonic Beasts, though the majority were Demonic Beasts.
The gray-clothed soldiers were currently clearing the battlefield, each bearing injuries to varying degrees.
On the broken stone sculpture, a middle-aged man sat, a battle saber planted beside him, its blade stained red with blood!
Qi Zhen lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and slowly exhaled white mist.
His gaze was deep as he looked towards the异空间 in the distance.
Everything around the alien space had been leveled, replaced by countless Demonic Beast corpses.
These Demonic Beasts were all the lowest-grade cannon fodder, specifically sent out to scout.
"Captain Qi, we've finished collecting the Monster Cores."
A soldier with blood-stained clothes approached and reported.
Qi Zhen: "What are the casualties?"
"We lost over a dozen combatants, including four Tier 2 Martial Artists and twelve First-order Martial Artists!"
The soldier said loudly, his eyes reddening as he spoke!
Those were their brothers! One moment they were smoking and chatting together, the next they were lying in pools of blood.
Qi Zhen was silent for a moment, then slowly stood up and said, "Vice Captain!"
"Here!"
A burly man strode over quickly!
The aura he exuded was also incredibly powerful; he was clearly a Tier 3 Martial Artist!
The team's Vice Captain! Fan Gang!
Qi Zhen said in a deep voice, "You take a few people to guard the space entrance! The rest, rest on the spot, don't hold back! Digest all the Monster Core resources in your hands and recover your strength!"
"Yes!"
Fan Gang grunted, then decisively departed!
Qi Zhen took out an arm-thick Monster Core from his Space Ring and began absorbing it through his cultivation.
Threads of Exotic Energy from the Monster Core flowed into his body through his hands, restoring his depleted Exotic Energy.
Next, there would be a great battle!
Just then, the roar of a car could be heard from not far away, attracting much attention.
Qi Zhen paused for a moment, then looked into the distance, a white Range Rover appearing in his sight.
"People from the Martial Academy, are they here?"
The Range Rover was stopped by the soldiers at the intersection.
Fang Bai and the others got out of the car, looking around curiously.
"Cough, cough, cough! What a strong stench!"
Qi Tian pinched his nose, revealing a look of disgust.
Fang Bai's gaze fell upon the scene, and his expression showed shock.
This... this was the battlefield?
So tragic!
All sorts of Demonic Beast corpses, mutated wolves, tigers, lizards, rats the size of dogs...
This was the first time he had ever seen such a scene!
It was simply a spectacular visual feast!
A Xiu calmly surveyed her surroundings, her gaze suddenly falling on a middle-aged man not far away, her eyes narrowing.
Xiao Yuan was somewhat curious, "So many wild beasts! They're not like the ones in our mountains!"
"This is where your assessment will take place!"
Director Liu got out of the driver's seat and said calmly.
Qi Tian smacked his lips, "Tsk tsk, this place doesn't look like a good spot!"
Fang Bai pointed curiously at the giant vortex in the distance and asked, "Director, is that the alien space?"
Director Liu nodded, "That's right. The alternate dimension contains its own world. It's incredibly dangerous inside, but there are also many opportunities. The Demonic Beast tribes live within it."
Fang Bai stared at the 异空间. To others, it might be a place of great danger, but in his eyes, it was pure experience points!
Qi Zhen walked over from not far away, saying as he approached, "Is this all who came?"
Only then did Fang Bai and the others look at the man. They felt a heart-pounding pressure from him!
Tier 3 Martial Artist!
Director Liu stepped forward, smiling, "I am Liu Ye, Director of Personnel at the Martial Academy."
"I am Qi Zhen, Captain of the Fourth Squad, Fifth Brigade, Magic City Branch of the Monster Slaying Army."
Qi Zhen glanced at him and said calmly, "You actually sent someone from personnel? Your Martial Academy is really not doing things properly, are they?"
Everyone: "..."
Director Liu chuckled, "I'm here to pick up the students and bring them for their assessment."
Qi Zhen raised his eyebrows in surprise, his gaze sweeping over Fang Bai and the others.
"Are you sure? This is the entrance to the exotic space."
He could tell that Fang Bai and the others weren't very strong.
Moreover, their faces held a certain innocence.
They were probably first-year rookies from the Martial Academy.
Sending these kids to their deaths, the Martial Academy is amazing!
Director Liu nodded, "Exactly. They will be entering the exotic space with Captain Qi."
Qi Zhen smiled, "Certainly, but I can't guarantee their lives. You know, Demonic Beasts love to eat tender young children."
"Hey! Who are you calling a child?! Who are you looking down on?"
Qi Tian retorted unhappily.
Qi Zhen glanced at him, a strange smile tugging at the corner of his lips, "Aren't you? You should be Tier 2, right? But I'm guessing you haven't experienced real combat. Someone like you, any one of my soldiers could take you down with one hand!"
Perhaps after fighting on the battlefield for too long, having seen too much life and death, people like them had no good feelings towards city dwellers!
In the eyes of many, these people lived without burden in the peace they had bought with their blood and lives!
Actually, he wasn't bragging. Even if these soldiers were only Tier 1, they had earned their rank through actual combat. Each one of them had the combat power to kill Demonic Beasts of the same level solo!
Only people like them deserved to be called the Monster Slaying Army!
Qi Tian was immediately annoyed and was about to argue, but Fang Bai pulled him back.
"Old Bai, why are you stopping me? Let me show them what I can do!"
Qi Tian said indignantly.
Fang Bai said calmly, "It's not time yet. Save your strength for fighting the Demonic Beasts."
After speaking, he looked at Qi Zhen again, "Captain Qi, is it? We will do our best to prove ourselves. You don't need to protect us during the fight later. Life and death are determined by fate; we'll be responsible for ourselves!"
Hearing this, Qi Zhen looked at him with some surprise, then nodded calmly, "Alright, but it's too early to say such things. Just don't wet your pants from fear later."
"Soldiers! Distribute battle sabers to them!"
A soldier carrying four battle sabers walked over and placed them on the ground.
Qi Zhen said, "These are alloy battle sabers made of special materials. They are very sharp and can easily cut through the tough hide of Demonic Beasts, but they are very heavy..."
As he spoke, he looked at A Xiu and said, "Girls might not be able to lift them."
A Xiu glanced at him, then walked forward, casually picked up a battle saber, and swung it a few times in the air as if it were made of cotton.
Qi Zhen was somewhat surprised, then realized he had misjudged her.
Fang Bai and the others also picked up a battle saber each.
Holding it in his hand, Fang Bai felt the considerable weight and was somewhat surprised.
It was indeed quite heavy.
Qi Zhen looked at them and said, "Prepare yourselves. We will enter the exotic space in ten minutes!"
"To add, once inside, any spoils can only be obtained through individual strength."
After saying that, he left.
Director Liu looked at Fang Bai and the others and said, "Get ready, really, prepare yourselves mentally!"
After speaking, he also walked towards Qi Zhen.
