Zheng Bei pointed in the direction of Front Line, "Now Front Line's successive battles can be said to be centered around Wasteland Veins. In the war zone we are in, Command Center and Donghuang Cult have each pinned three Wasteland Veins."
Now, Seventh Wasteland Vein has appeared. Whoever can nail it first will be able to overpower the other party and influence the future trend of Wasteland Qi in this area."
A Martial Exam Student asked loudly, "By nailing Seventh Wasteland Vein, can we drive out all Donghuang Cult from this place?"
Zheng Bei shook his head, "It's not that easy. However, once Seventh Wasteland Vein is pinned by us, the Wasteland Qi dominance of this land will shift to Command Center.
When the time comes, we can move forward step by step, but Donghuang Cult can only continue to shrink. It is only a matter of time before we destroy the remnants of Donghuang entrenched here."
Everyone was excited.
Someone else asked, "Then what is our mission? Go directly to the battlefield and fight Donghuang Cult?"
Zheng Bei said, "Now everyone in Front Line must fight to pin Seventh Wasteland Vein.
Naturally, we are no exception. These people will be divided into two parts.
Except for Martial Exam Student and Inspector, the others will follow me into Front Line and wait for my orders.
As for the three Inspector and the ten Martial Exam Student, you can form your own team.
Later, the map, Wasteland Spike and the necessary equipment will be sent to you. You must rush to the area indicated on the map, look for opportunities, and pin Wasteland Veins."
A young man in white eyes widened, "Leave such an important task to us?"
Command Center trusts us so much, it seems that we are indeed the chosen ones."
In the face of a formidable enemy, this cold joke did not inspire a few laughs.
Zheng Northern Side glanced at the man expressionlessly, "What are you doing to save the world?"
Wasteland Qi is as uncertain as the wind, and Wasteland Veins is as wandering as a dragon. Now no one knows where Seventh Wasteland Vein will pass by in the end, and no one knows where the most suitable position for nail placement is.
So Command Center sent dozens or hundreds of teams scattered everywhere, waiting for Wasteland Veins to pass by so that he could pin Wasteland Veins. You are just one of them."
Everyone was stunned, and they were obviously a little relieved after knowing that they were not that important.
Zheng Bei changed the topic, "However, if you can really catch the opportunity and successfully pin Wasteland Veins, it will be a miracle. Not only Deployment Office will be rewarded, but Command Center will also be rewarded heavily."
Upon hearing the reward, everyone's eyes lit up.
Someone asked, "Steward Zheng, thirteen of us act together, who do we listen to? How will we determine the merits of our results in the end?"
This question is very critical. When it came out, many people looked at Lin Li.
Lin Li is the number one Inspector, so it is naturally the easiest to be pushed out to take the lead.
There were also a few Martial Exam Student whispering in a loud voice, clearly unwilling to listen to Inspector's arrangements.
Zheng Bei took in everyone's expressions and said loudly, "This situation is unexpected and the mission requires you to cooperate. Therefore, in the last round, we will no longer judge the merits based on who killed how many Qi Beast and how many Qi Petal were obtained."
After the task is over, you will grade each other anonymously. Each person will evaluate the scores of the other twelve people. Finally, the scores of everyone will be summarized to determine the ranking of this assessment."
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was in a state of uproar. No one expected that Deployment Office would eventually come up with such a unique pattern.
Zheng Bei raised his voice, "Of course, the scoring must be based on completing the task. Wasteland Veins circulated, just in the past two days, now each of you carries Wasteland Spike, immediately Rush to the designated area immediately, and when Wasteland Veins is circulating, capture Wasteland Spike. What I want to remind you is that you can't pin Wasteland Veins, but you must pin Wasteland Qi.
Failure to do this is equivalent to failure of the mission, and you are not even qualified to participate in scoring.
As for who will take the lead, I will not appoint it.
The appointment of Lin Li is unfair to the other two Inspector; the appointment of any one of Martial Exam Student is equally unfair to the ten Martial Exam Student.
I believe that real leaders will be formed spontaneously during the mission."
A Martial Exam Student asked, "What if we meet someone from Donghuang Cult on the way? Should we complete the assessment first, or should we fight to the death with them?"
This issue is obviously what everyone is most worried about.
Desolate Soil fighting is never a child's play.
Zheng Bei said, "You are candidates, not soldiers. In everything, you must complete the assessment first. When encountering Donghuang Cult, as long as the other party does not take the initiative to attack, you do not have to fight with them. Prioritize self-protection."
Hearing these words, all the Martial Exam Students secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Zheng Bei looked at the sky and did not give anyone another chance to ask questions, "Okay, time is running out. Everyone except Martial Exam Student and Inspector should set off immediately with Director Xia.
As for the things Martial Exam Student and Inspector need, they are all placed on the long table in the middle of the cafeteria. Grab your utensils and set off as soon as possible."
The order was given and everyone took action immediately.
Zheng Bei and Xia Daoyu led the team and set off first, while Deng Qing and his group rushed to the canteen.
Everyone entered the cafeteria and went straight to the long table in the middle.
There is a map spread out on the table. On the map, mountains, rivers, and roads are clearly marked. There is a red mark in the southwest corner of the map, which is obviously the destination of everyone's trip.
On the left side of the map, there is a thick stack of Booklet.
Someone counted them, and there were exactly thirteen copies. They guessed that everyone must have one.
At that moment, Deng Qing also got a copy, opened it, glanced at it twice, and felt it was precious.
It records the basic knowledge on how to pin Wasteland Veins, as well as related extended knowledge and some notes.
This is not the place to look at Booklet.
Deng Qing got Booklet and stuffed it into the cuff.
Soon, everyone noticed the large box under the dining table and dragged it out and opened it. Inside the box was a slender "sword" neatly stacked. The sword had a dark blade, almost half as wide as an ordinary long sword, and the handle was wrapped with a thick rope.
"This is Wasteland Spike?"
A young man with thick eyebrows pulled out a sword and raised it in front of his eyes, "Why does it look like a sword?"
The big-nosed young man on his left responded, "It's not wrong to say it's a sword. Wasteland Iron is smelted in this thing, but it's not as refined as a forged weapon."
Look at the two sides, not even the blade is sharpened. When using it, the sword tip is used to penetrate and nail the Wasteland Veins. Whether it is called Wasteland Spike or the Wild Sword, it is the same thing."
After everyone heard this, they stepped forward one after another and each took one.
Deng Qing also took one and inserted it into the strap behind his back.
At this moment, a young man with a high nose spoke, "Everyone, although we formed a temporary team, the situation is complicated right now. I think survival is the most important thing, and the mission comes second."
As he spoke, he bowed his hands to everyone, "Since we want to go together, we can't talk to each other when things happen. As the saying goes, a snake can't fly without a head, and a bird can't fly without a head. It's better to choose a leader first."
Someone immediately agreed, "That's right. Thirteen people, thirteen ideas. If something really happens, by the time we discuss it, the day lily will be cold."
Someone said, "That being said, who should I choose and how should I choose?"
Soon, a burly young man stood up and said, "Hong Lin, Bone Tempering Third Layer.
I have commanded clan soldiers and have rich experience in leading armies. If you can trust me, I am willing to take on this responsibility."
A black-faced man smiled and said, "How dare you bring it up to the commander of the clan soldiers? The clan soldiers are raised by your family. Of course, if you say go east, no one dares to go west."
If you are really in danger, just say a word and the soldiers will rush forward while you take command from behind. Don't get used to calling us around by then and treat us as your Lineage soldiers."
Hong Lin's face darkened, "Who told you that I would only let my clan soldiers die?"
The man said, "I didn't say you did it, I just think the two things cannot be confused."
Someone else chimed in. "What do you mean, let me choose someone who is familiar with Desolate Soil. We are going to have adventures in Desolate Soil after all?"
"Desolate Soil I am the most familiar with, choose me..."
"Is there anything you should be familiar with? Everyone has been in there for a long time. I don't think there's anything strange about it."
For a time, there was a lot of discussion, and no one was willing to give in easily.
After all, the right to speak means the right to control the situation, and under the rules of the scoring system, the power of the leader is too important.
Everyone was chattering, but Deng Qing stood in the corner and turned another page of Booklet in his hand.
Everyone argued for a while, and Chen Hong gave constructive suggestions, "Everyone, since everyone is eager to be first, don't just choose one.
I suggest that all Bone Tempering Third Layer members should stand up and lead the team together, and discuss and deal with problems when they arise."
Someone hummed. "Bone-Tempering Two, can I only listen to you?"
Chen Hong said, "Since you enjoy the power, you must also take responsibility. When encountering danger, Bone Tempering Third Layer takes the lead first."
As soon as these words came out, the objections suddenly disappeared.
Afterwards, everyone reported their names and cultivation levels one by one.
After a round of reporting, among the thirteen people, there were actually six Bone Tempering Third Layer.
In addition to Lin Li and Chen Hong, four of the ten Martial Exam Student also arrived at Bone Tempering Third Layer.
Deng Qing is not surprising.
The origins of the last batch of Martial Exam Students who have survived are quite complicated. Not all of them were those who took the examination at the local Martial Arts Hall and passed the exams one level at a time.
Most of them are people who have obtained qualifications through special channels, and there are often sects or Lineage support behind them.
Among them, it is normal for cultivation geniuses to appear.
Soon, six Bone Tempering Third Layer experts gathered in front of the map to discuss the route and division of labor.
Everyone's eyes also fell on these six people.
Deng Qing, a celebrity who became well-known due to the big case Beast Tide, has never received any extra attention.
After a while, the route was agreed upon, and everyone took Wasteland Spike and little Booklet with them, left the station, and went straight to the southeast.
It was quite hard to go over mountains and ridges all the way, but the thirteen people all had good cultivation skills and traveled quite fast. Before they knew it, they had traveled more than thirty miles.
After walking for a while, we arrived at a place Mountain Hollow. The mountains on both sides gradually became higher, leaving only a relatively flat area in the middle.
As everyone walked in, smoke and dust suddenly rose in front of them.
"Watch out."
Lin Li shouted loudly to stop, and everyone stopped one after another, pressing their swords with their hands.
I saw the bushes in front of me shaking violently, and suddenly, three Qi Beasts came out one after another.
One looks like a giant wolf, with two rows of bone spurs on its back; the other two are similar in appearance, with short and stocky bodies and covered with gray-brown scales.
There is a Qi Petal on each of the three huge heads.
"One piece!"
Before he finished speaking, three people rushed out of the team.
One person raised his sword to attack the giant wolf, while the other two attacked the two scaly Qi Beast from both sides.
After all, Qi Petal is a real resource.
Deng Qing frowned slightly, it was a big taboo to act in a group and act on one's own initiative.
"Come back!"
A big man in green shouted loudly, "We have a mission, it doesn't matter Qi Beast don't hunt!"
This person's name is Long Xiu, and he is also one of the six Bone Tempering Third Layer.
But before he finished speaking, he had already handed over his hand.
The giant wolf was blocked by the sword light, turned its head suddenly, and bit the man holding the sword. On the other side, two scaly heads Qi Beast were also intercepted by the two men, roaring and waving their claws to attack.
Long Xiu looked gloomy and was about to shout again when suddenly another puff of smoke and dust rose up in the woods ahead.
The movement this time was much greater than before.
"Also!"
someone exclaimed.
The next moment, several Qi Beast rushed out one after another and ran past the vicinity of the battle, but they had no intention of rushing to help.
They just turned slightly, bypassed the fighting place, and rushed straight towards the location of Deng Qing and others.
Everyone quickly dispersed and drew their weapons.
Deng Qing also stepped aside, but he could see fear in the eyes of Wasteland Beast, who was running towards him.
Deng Qing immediately shouted loudly, "Spread away, don't attack! They are not here for us!"
I'm afraid there will be more behind, so don't block the road!"
The few people guarding the front were already ready to attack. When they heard this, they hurriedly retreated to the side.
After everyone got out of the way, a few Qi Beast ignored everyone and rushed through the open space.
At this moment, a thunderous sound suddenly broke out in the forest.
Rumble!
Deng Qing The gravel at his feet began to beat. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.
I saw billowing smoke and dust, and several huge figures crashed out of the forest.
Immediately afterwards, there were more than ten more.
The ones behind are so densely packed that I can't even count how many there are.
In the blink of an eye, countless heads of Qi Beast were wrapped in smoke and dust, rushing out of Mountain Hollow and rushing over.
A large number of giant trees were knocked down, and before the tree crown even hit the ground, they were trampled into mud by the Qi Beast rushing from behind.
Suddenly, everyone's expressions changed.
Although there are Mountain Wall on both sides, there is a section of rocks and trees separated by it. Now I want to cross it and climb to a high enough position, but there is no time?
In the blink of an eye, the herd of beasts had rushed closer.
Chen Hong suddenly pulled out his weapon, "Let's work together to force those in front to change course!"
Several people subconsciously raised their swords and prepared to meet him.
Deng Qing shouted sternly, "Run along with them! Don't stop them, look for opportunities to jump on their backs! They are probably running for their lives and can't care about us."
After saying that, he turned around and ran away.
Chen Hong's voice boomed from behind, "You can guarantee it!"
Deng Qing thought to himself, you have lost your mind and gone crazy. What guarantee can I give you? I will never run away if I love you.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of heavy treading on the ground quickly approached.
Deng Qing turned his head and saw that Qi Beast, who was catching up, was more than ten feet tall. He was covered in thick black scales and had two curved fangs protruding from his mouth. As his head swung, he moved towards his vest.
Deng Qing kicked his feet and suddenly turned sideways while running.
Tiger-Subduing Fist, Tiger-Subduing Mountain Crusher!
He Sinking Shoulder pressed his arm, his palm landed on the fang that passed by him, and he pressed down hard.
The head of Qi Beast was pressed down, and Deng Qing used the force of the pressure to jump up and climb up Qi Beast's broad back.
Qi Beast roared and shook his head angrily, trying to throw Deng Qing away, but Deng Qing grabbed its mane tightly, swinging like a lotus leaf in the wind.
In the blink of an eye, several Qi Beast were overtaken. The other Qi Beast had no choice but to give up and throw away Deng Qing, and pedaled forward with all its strength.
Deng Qing turned around and saw that on the backs of Qi Beast's army were his companions.
The most vocal Chen Hong is also among them.
After running for more than three hundred feet like this, the front finally opened up.
The crowded herd immediately dispersed, some rushed into Northern Side's Dense Forest, and some turned to both sides, gradually widening the distance between them.
Deng Qing saw the opportunity, jumped off the beast's back, flicked his waist, relieved the momentum, and then ducked behind a big rock.
The Qi Beast he was riding on didn't even look back, but dragged the billowing smoke and dust towards the distance.
Not long after, everyone landed smoothly, with gray heads and faces full of shock.
After the last few Qi Beasts ran away, everyone gathered together again.
Thirteen people, only ten gathered together.
The few who were missing happened to be the three people who rushed out to hunt Qi Beast earlier.
Long Xiu wiped off the dust on his face and said to Deng Qing, "Brother Deng, the idea just now is really good. If we didn't escape on the back of a beast, we would be in danger."
"Yeah, I was still thinking about hiding behind the rock, but in the blink of an eye, the rock was knocked over."
"Fortunately, Brother Deng called in time."
Several Martial Exam Student spoke one after another, their words filled with joy.
Chen Hong patted his sleeves and said with a smile, "Brother Deng Qing hunted thirty-five Qi Beast in one day. I finally figured it out today. It all depends on the direction of the wind.
I think Brother Deng has good eyesight and quick legs and feet. Don't let such good skills go to waste. How about we ask Brother Deng Qing to be our Scout from now on and explore the way ahead first?"
Deng Qing glanced at him, turned around and walked back the way he came.
The smile on Chen Hong's face faded, "Brother Deng, what do you think this is? Is it great if you make some achievements? Are you going to break away from the main force without saying a word?"
Chen Hong is not born to be sarcastic.
But the current situation makes it obvious that although thirteen people are eating from the same pot, they are two families.
Inspector's family, Deng Qing, Lin Li and Chen Hong, the three of them competed.
Ten Martial Exam Student are counted as another family.
In the end, although they were graded by each other, the results were divided into two categories.
Deng Qing helped everyone escape, and Martial Exam Student naturally praised them. After all, no matter how good Deng Qing's performance was, he couldn't take their place.
Chen Hong cannot watch Deng Qing take away all the good reviews.
Deng Qing still didn't respond, and only raised his voice. "Have you forgotten that there are still three of us who have not returned?"
Everyone was startled.
Chen Hong raised his eyebrows, and in the next moment, he was already chasing after her, "I'll go take a look."
His feet suddenly accelerated, passing by Deng Qing, and soon disappeared.
Deng Qing stopped and did not fight with Chen Hong. Instead, he dispersed to the outside, observed the surroundings, and after making sure it was safe, he took out Booklet and continued to read.
Not long after, Chen Hong came back.
He was carrying one person on his back, and followed behind him were the three Martial Exam Student who rushed out to hunt Qi Beast earlier.
The three of them all looked quite embarrassed. The two who could still walk on their own were covered in mud, one had a broken forehead, and the other had a gash on his arm that had been bandaged hastily.
The young man being carried by Chen Hong had a pale face and cold sweat on his forehead. His left leg was hanging to one side, with several wooden boards tied to his calf.
When Beast Tide rushed towards him just now, he was unable to dodge and his calf was broken. When Chen Hong found him, he had already connected his bones, applied wound medicine, and found wood pieces to fix it.
But a broken bone is still a broken bone.
Even if Martial Artist recovers quickly and takes good medicine, he will definitely not be able to move his broken leg in the next two days.
"Thank you, Brother Chen. Thank you very much."
After Su Yun was put down, he repeatedly rushed to give Chen Hong his hand.
The other two people also thanked him.
Chen Hong waved his hand and said, "Since we are on the same team, we should naturally take care of each other, so there is no need to be polite. You should rest in peace and recover first, and then talk about other things later."
Chen Hong glanced at Deng Qing proudly and thought, you have a good brain, but I am thick-skinned. You must know that thick-skinned is the key to success. After all, I am from a humble background and have no experience.
