This place is fun

Chapter 106 Answer
"Damn it!"

Instantly, the hairs on Su Daoshan's back stood up. He knew that this was the masterpiece of the ghost demon.

As the master of the Netherworld, the Nether Demon is naturally the supreme ruler of these crazy puppets that are transformed from dead humans. It can be said that wherever the Nether Flame burns, it is the country ruled by the Nether Demon.

While in a stalemate with the female Eagle Guard scout, the Phantom summoned the nearby Crazy Puppet.

Although these crazy puppets have no wisdom, no consciousness, and cannot be precisely commanded, Su Daoshan can fully imagine what the situation will be like when hundreds and thousands of crazy puppets come overwhelmingly.

At this moment, there was only one thought left in Su Daoshan's mind.

"run!"

But, if you want to run, you must have the opportunity to run!

Su Daoshan climbed to the top of the ditch slope and looked through the bushes and grass towards the place where the fighting sound came from. In just a few seconds, the Eagle Guard female scout and the Black Stone Ghost had already shot to another direction, less than 50 meters away from here.

At this moment, the two sides were entangled in the air. The woman's legs kicked dozens of times like meteors, but were blocked by the Black Stone Phantom's four impenetrable arms.

The two separated and fell from the air. The moment she landed, the woman twisted her body forcefully, tapped the ground with the giant sword in her hand, and as she flipped 180 degrees in the air, the sword blade drew a sword light from bottom to top.

At this moment, Su Daoshan felt as if he saw a ray of moonlight rising from the horizon.

Amazing!
Su Daoshan keenly noticed that the power of the woman's sword was much greater than before. The giant sword only touched the ground for a moment, and the solid ground changed.

This change was not the deformation and fragmentation caused by violent bombardment, and there was no scene of mud splashing. On the contrary, everything was silent, and the moment the sword tip touched the ground, it was like a feather falling on the water.

Then, the solid earth seemed to be rippled by an invisible force, presenting circles of imperceptible waves.

As the ripples spread, the surrounding soil, dead branches, and rocks were all turned into powder in an extremely gentle manner. They were then blown up by the strong wind created by the giant sword.

It felt as if her sword was originally pointed into the dust.

"Hidden power! A fifth-grade master!" Su Daoshan's heart trembled.

In the realm of martial arts, the seventh level of external strength is also called raw strength. The sixth level of internal strength is also called mature strength. When promoted to the fifth level, the qi strength is completely restrained, and it reaches the stage of dark strength.

At this stage, the warrior's strength is not obvious when fighting. It is not like the surging Qi and energy at the sixth level. Every move of the hands and feet will make a dull and faint roar like the roar of a dragon or a tiger, and there will not be the crisp explosion sound like the seventh level like the bursting of cloth in the air.

On the contrary, the Qi of the warriors at this stage has reached the stage of returning to the original state. Every move, no matter how much force is used, is like a child's game. It gives people a feeling of fancy moves.

But in terms of power, the power of dark energy is more than ten or a hundred times stronger.

It is said that once a fifth-grade warrior activates his hidden power, he can shatter hard rocks and kill healthy trees with just one silent palm strike. If it hits a person, it can turn muscles into blood mud and shatter bones into powder while keeping the person's appearance intact.

"Raw force is loud, familiar force is deep, and hidden force is silent and hurts the most."

Su Daoshan's eyes lit up. It's not like he had never seen a fifth-grade warrior before. Whether it was the nine major sects or Chongguang City, there were fifth-grade masters in charge. But this was the first time he saw fifth-grade warriors fighting with his own eyes.

This made him feel excited even when he was in danger.

As the saying goes, if you want to see farther, you must climb to a higher level. The same is true for the path of martial arts. Even if your realm is far from reaching the fifth level, having the opportunity to see the scenery at a higher level will also benefit your martial arts infinitely.

At the same time as the woman launched this slash, the black stone ghost also fell to the ground. It seemed that it had also sensed the power of the woman's sword. This time it did not choose to parry, but instead bounced its lower limbs and retreated backwards the moment it landed.

However, in the blink of an eye, suddenly, a thick vine emerged from where the Black Stone Ghost landed and fiercely wrapped around its legs.

Su Daoshan's pupils suddenly contracted.

He saw it clearly. When it first emerged from the ground, the pointed head of the vine was light green, and when it stretched to about two meters, the color turned dark green. When it grew to four or five meters and wrapped around the Black Stone Ghost, it had turned dark brown.

Just like a giant python.

Caught off guard, the Black Stone Ghost's leap was pulled back by the vine. As a result, the originally balanced battle situation was immediately broken.

Boom! The giant sword fiercely slashed the black stone ghost's body, and a loud noise erupted, just like a meteorite falling to the ground.

In the dust stirred up by the shock wave, the four arms of the Black Stone Ghost intertwined and blocked the sword. However, it still paid a heavy price for this. Under the dark power, two of its arms that were like steel exploded silently.

Its blood was also red. From a distance, the injured arms looked like burst water pipes, exploding one section after another from the wrist to the elbow and then to the connection with the body, spraying out a fine mist of blood. The deepest part of the burst wound was so deep that the bone was visible.

In just a moment, the two arms drooped limply, no longer able to move.

The Black Stone Ghost roared with rage and pain. However, with the impact of the knife, it also broke the vines, and its body flipped back dozens of meters, like a lizard on all fours, swimming quickly while staring at the woman with a cold look.

******
In the wilderness, a simple defensive camp has taken shape.

The wall formed by two rows of wooden stakes tightly surrounded a small hill. In front of the wall were three rows of deep trenches filled with sharpened wooden stakes.

This time, Yishan City's Dingzi Camp brought out the first and second battalions for actual combat training. These two teams, each with 100 people, are all composed of warriors from Yishan City. The lowest one has a strength of more than 9th rank, and the strength of both arms is at least several hundred kilograms.

These people may not be good at combat, but when it comes to civil engineering work, they are countless times faster than ordinary people.

Amid the sounds of busy footsteps, digging, and hammering wood piles, time passed quickly. Zhai Ling still stood on the hillside like a sculpture, looking at the dust storm in the distance.

In front of the camp, Feng Ting and a dozen other guards from the Su family, as well as the rest of the Yue, Zhou and Wang families were ready.

The children of the six great families entered the camp, each with a dozen family guards. Now some of them were trapped in the dust storm, and the rest heard that they had to go into the dust storm to save their young masters and young ladies, so naturally they could not help but participate.

Originally, the Zhu family and the Lin family also volunteered, but were rejected by Zhai Ling.

This time when I go in, I don’t even know if I can get out again, so why should I let them die with me?

"Sir." Xue Long walked over quickly, "There's still half a quarter of an hour."

Zhai Ling nodded.

Xue Long walked to Zhai Ling's side, half a step behind him, looked up at the dust storm in the distance, and asked in a low voice: "Sir, that loud noise just now..."

"Someone must have passed through the wormhole." Zhai Ling said. Both of them looked a little unhappy. After all, no one knew who passed through the wormhole. If it was the You Clan's troops, it would be like a moth flying into a flame if they wanted to get close to the dust storm. As for the people trapped inside, if they haven't come out yet, I'm afraid they are in great danger...

At this time, a falcon flew down from the sky like a silver meteor and landed in Xue Long's hand. Xue Long untied a bamboo tube from the falcon's claws, released it, and then quickly took out the paper inside the bamboo tube and unfolded it.

"What do you mean?" Zhai Ling asked anxiously.

Xue Long said as he read the note, "The Fengyuan Hall in Yishan City has already contacted the Chongguang City camp through a secret sound transmission array, and the camp has already sent people out. A demon hunter team came first, led by Hua Chong. Another four camps have also set off."

"Hua Chong came in person?" Zhai Ling was stunned and asked.

Over the past hundred years, whenever the Phantom Tribe invaded, the most important task for human scouts was to explore the Phantom Mist. Among them, wormhole intelligence had the highest priority.

Therefore, long before he passed the message back, he could imagine the shock it caused in the base camp. And the reaction of the base camp was not unexpected. Whether it was sending strong men to investigate or deploying troops, it was all as expected.

But what Zhai Ling didn't expect was that the person who came this time was Hua Chong.

Among the four major field armies of Xi State, there are three units directly under the army level and above, namely Eagle Guard, Wolf Guard and Demon Hunter.

The Eagle Guards are the elite among the scouts, whose mission is to explore the truth, cover the battlefield, hunt down the enemy scouts and assassinate officers and generals. The Wolf Guards are the trump cards among the soldiers, whose mission is to charge into battle with armor and sharp weapons. They are the decisive force in the hands of the military.

As for the Demon Hunters, they are the most mysterious force in the army.

Actually, to be precise, the demon hunters cannot be called a force, but a joint organization. This organization was formed by Xiguo Taizu when he started his army, and the major sects that supported him in order to fight against the You Clan.

For decades, the Demon Hunters have fought wars in the south and the north, and made great achievements in fighting against the You Clan and the founding of the Xi Kingdom.

Because of this, although the demon hunters were closely integrated into the Xi country's military system, in fact, they were very independent and had extremely high authority. The relationship between them and the military was a cooperative one of following orders but not announcements.

Under normal circumstances, demon hunters are no different from other troops. They eat, live, and train in the army, follow the army, accept the army's dispatch orders, and participate in battles.

Even compared to the more closed Eagle Guards and Wolf Guards, the soldiers in the battalions below are more familiar with the witchers - because the witchers often go down to the battalions to perform missions, and many soldiers have cooperated with them many times.

Zhai Ling himself knew several demon hunters.

But the military has no power to punish or appoint demon hunters. Moreover, demon hunters are one way at ordinary times, but once the military's orders conflict with the orders of the demon hunters' superiors, they will be another way.

Demon hunters only act according to their own rules and methods, without any mercy.

No matter how good your friendship is, once there is a disagreement, they will turn against you like turning the pages of a book. They may drink and gamble with you the night before, calling you brothers and sisters. The next day, they can watch you die with a very calm look.

On the contrary, once they made a request, everyone had to cooperate unconditionally. Even if there were mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, even if the whole army was annihilated, there was no room for negotiation.

If it were just fighting, it would be fine.

Since we have joined the army, we have put our heads on the line and put life and death aside. Fighting is fighting everywhere, and dying is dying anywhere, right?

However, demon hunters often go deep into the uninhabited demonic dead areas thousands of miles away to carry out some strange tasks. And the troops they are dispatched to cooperate with are often intact before departure, but when they return, half of the people are missing, or even completely wiped out.

What’s even more terrifying is that the survivors who came back were all in a daze and couldn’t even explain what had happened.

Zhai Ling had met several survivors. According to them, they had only stayed in an abandoned village for one night, and when they woke up the next day, only a dozen of the more than 100 brothers were left. The rest had disappeared inexplicably, with no one seeing them alive or dead.

And they didn't even hear any noise all night.

It would be fine if this kind of weird encounter happened once or twice, but it is really scary to see dozens of such incidents every year for decades.

Therefore, whether it is the Fiery Army, or the soldiers of the Wind, Mountain, and Forest Armies, they all have mixed feelings towards the Demon Hunters. On the one hand, they are in awe, but on the other hand, they are somewhat repulsive.

In everyone's opinion, this group of mysterious and weird guys who don't recognize their relatives are a group of jinxes. Whenever they come, there will be no good.

And Hua Chong is the demon hunter commander of the Fiery Army's front line.

This time he came in person.

For a moment, Zhai Ling's nerves were tense. You know, although the intelligence of discovering the wormhole exit is important, the military usually mobilizes troops for deployment. It is rare to use demon hunters.

Unless it's an emergency, there's something difficult to solve.

But I had just sent the news back, and even I didn't know what happened in the dust storm, and the camp sent Hua Chong over...

Under Zhai Ling's surprised gaze, Xue Long, who was reading the intelligence, nodded and said, "It's him."

Xue Long quickly handed the note to Zhai Ling, pointing to the last paragraph of the intelligence and said, "Sir, look! The headquarters requires us to do everything possible to explore the wormhole exit, and if possible, rescue the Eagle Guards coming out of the wormhole at all costs."

Zhai Ling's face changed, he took the note and checked it quickly.

Xue Long standing by also had a serious expression on his face.

Neither of them expected that the base camp would issue such an order.

In the military, after discovering the wormhole exit, the corresponding response was at least the main force of the B-shaped battalion or above. However, the one he led was just a T-shaped battalion, and even this battalion was just formed, far from meeting the requirements of the T-shaped battalion in the military.

In addition, in this actual combat training, only two squadrons were brought out. To let these people go into the dust storm to rescue the Eagle Guards coming out of the wormhole is not only a matter of any cost, it is also a suicide mission.

The situation here has been reported to the main camp in detail in previous reports, so it is impossible for them not to know about it.

But they still issued such an order, could it be that...

Thinking of Hua Chong, the demon hunter leader sent by the camp, and looking at the note in his hand, Zhai Ling suddenly had an idea and asked, "After our northern group arrived in Wen'an City, who led the Eagle Guards sent by the military?"

Xue Long said: "It seems that the Eagle Guard leader Tang Moer is leading the team personally."

Almost as soon as Xue Long answered, the two looked at each other and everything had its answer!
