Chapter 263 Ranking and Promotion

When Huang Zhishu asked this question.

Yue Hanzhang was selecting suitable stones on the mudflats, moving them out bit by bit, and returning to the wasteland to build a simple pocket-sized stone enclosure next to the chariot.

As night fell, Yue Hanzhang and his two companions, who had won the initial battle, stopped exploring the hills.

They didn't even stop on the mudflats.

Instead, they took the initiative to withdraw the chariot a long distance and chose to spend the night in the flat and empty wilderness.

The victory in the first battle did not make the three of them arrogant.

They have a very clear understanding of the progress of the battle.

It is not a wise choice to continue exploring deep into the hills along the mountain stream under the cover of night.

Compared to those beasts that have truly been trained in nature, those born and raised in nature have been given the unique ability to hunt in the dark.

Among the three, whether it is Yue Hanzhang's thunder and the rumble and bright light of fireworks, or the thick fog and nightmare fire of the Frost Fire Dragon Fox, all will lose their original secrecy under the cover of night.

The only one who can truly be considered a master of night combat is the Shadow Tiger and Leopard who possesses the extraordinary power of shadows.

So it was just when night fell that they took advantage of the bloody smell of the battle on the mudflats, which had not yet been carried too far by the wind through the gullies of the hills.

Taking advantage of the cover of night, the shadow tiger and leopard explored an area further west on the mudflat, roughly determining whether there were any monsters lurking around, as well as the general activity range of these lone hunters and groups.

A large number of highly concealed miniature cameras are installed in the trunks of trees and in the cracks of rocks.

In this way, even in the middle of the night, the three of them could easily monitor the large area west of the mudflat through the mysterious black jade light screen in the chariot, so as to at least prevent any monsters from rushing out of the mudflat and unaware everyone.

Moreover, just to be on the safe side, the chariot's parking was also very important.

The front of the car was facing the direction of the entrance and exit of the mudflat. Even if a large group of monsters rushed in, the row of crossbows hidden under the front of the car could most effectively curb the momentum of all the extraordinary monsters.

Facing an unfamiliar battlefield, facing fighting and killing that are completely different from before.

Far from being arrogant, the three of them all showed an unexpected level of caution.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this cautious mood that Huang Zhishu chose to ask Yue Hanzhang again, as if to make a final confirmation.

After all, releasing such a video is a very "imprudent" thing to do. Once it is released, Yue Hanzhang's true cultivation level and combat power will be exposed.

This is the inertia of thinking and emotions at work.

Compared with Huang Zhishu's hesitation at the moment, Yue Hanzhang's mind was still clear. He knew when to be cautious and when to be "diligent and courageous."

So at this moment, Yue Hanzhang just smiled gently at Huang Zhishu.

"Publish it. This is just the beginning of a bloody battle. You and I still have a lot to do in the future!"

The penetrating power of the Jingshen martial arts will calmed Huang Zhishu's mood at this moment.

Sure enough, she soon stopped seeming to be worried about this.

While he was lowering his head and announcing the operation on the light screen, Jiang Lingxiu was already approaching from a distance, dragging a bundle of wood.

Throw the wood into the stone enclosure and flick the moon and fire with your fingers.

The extraordinary fireworks only leaped slightly above the woods, and before the extraordinary qualities could be manifested, the silvery-white moon fire suddenly, in one of the leaps, seemed to have lost the blessing of all extraordinary powers and turned into an ordinary clear yellow flame.

Bonfire lit.

The wire mesh that had been prepared long ago was set up on the stone fence. Jiang Lingxiu quickly took out the energy meal made of monster meat from the chariot according to the tastes of the three people and placed it on the wire mesh to heat it.

By the time Huang Zhishu finished the operation, she saw Yue Hanzhang seemed to remember something. After brushing his arm armor, a page full of rankings suddenly appeared on the pop-up light screen.

This is the ranking of the martial arts students in the Taoist Academy in the bloody battle.

The top ten, the top twenty, the top thirty, Yue Hanzhang just glanced at them without even looking at them carefully.

These were all senior monks from the Taoist academy. They possessed at least two or more extraordinary Taoist powers. They were at least able to make up for themselves between attack and defense, and their means of cooperating with each other were even more varied.

But when Yue Hanzhang looked further down, the names of Yue Hanzhang and the other two were not in the first forty, fifty, or sixty lists.

Scrolling down again, Yue Hanzhang saw the three of them from the seventy-second, seventy-third, and seventy-fourth positions.

"Are all the guys so fierce?"

You know, even if the victory is divided equally among three people, it is still a whole huge clan headed by six extraordinary monsters!

Such a glorious achievement is ranked among the top 70?
Among the two people who had almost the same emotion as Yue Hanzhang, Jiang Lingxiu seemed to have thought of something.

“See if they posted the video on the forum?

A bloody battle, everyone is probably thinking about gaining fame to boost their momentum!"

It is indeed a wild instinct as sharp as that of a tiger or leopard!
Huang Zhishu on the other side heard this and decisively began to search the list one by one.

It's just switching a few pages.

Sure enough, a video that had just been released appeared on the light screen.

Huang Zhishu took a rough snapshot of the video at double the speed.

When I searched again and watched a brand new video.

The content presented in the picture is surprisingly different from the previous one.

In this way, after searching through several names on the list one after another, Yue Hanzhang and the other two looked at each other in silence, feeling somewhat bewildered.

"I also didn't expect that the noble children would be so well prepared, even preparing incense sticks and medicinal powder to attract the monsters.

There are also those truly military-grade crossbows and unmanned shuttle fleets... It has nothing to do with the fact that their combat record has improved so quickly, it's just that most of these noble families are deployed in the middle section of the Jichuan defense line.

They do this..."

Huang Zhishu sighed before she finished speaking, and then shook her head repeatedly.

It was obvious that Huang Zhishu strongly disapproved of the actions of these noble families.

This is not an outing.

This was not the usual operation of the disciples from aristocratic families in previous years. They drove the chariot convoy into the wilderness, then sprayed powder to attract wild beasts in a certain area, gathered them together, and then slaughtered them at will.

It is called hunting.

They are in the midst of an unprecedentedly serious and bloody battle. The outcome of this battle, and the strength of the situation, will determine many major issues in Qizhou and even in the northern states for many years to come.

From whether the sinking of Qizhou is a short-term turmoil or a long-term setback, from whether the Zhenyuan Army and the Tielin Army can still preserve their organized structure under the heavy pressure of the siege, to whether the situation in the various states will be as corrupt as the former Beiting Protectorate.

This battle did not completely determine all of this, but it was one of the starting points of all these changes and an important node.

But on the battlefield, these nobles still acted as they did when they were hunting in the past, and were just as unsteady.

Their first priority was to help shake the Yue army's defense line, and then to kill the monsters.

This is putting the cart before the horse.

In this way, the powder and smoke can attract a large number or even a huge number of monsters.

It would be good if you can withstand it.

What if I can’t bear it?

A thousand-mile dam collapses because of an ant hole. This is not just an old saying. Sometimes, it will become a river of blood and floating corpses for thousands of miles...

And when these pages are scrolled down to the comment area of ​​the forum one after another.

When the video was first released, there were some comments expressing the same concerns as Yue Hanzhang and the other two.

But soon, large-scale naval forces entered the scene, and soon it became a 360-degree mindless flattery of the lethality of these Guizhou families and the "huge contributions" they made on the front line.

The huge scale of these naval forces soon attracted the general public who were unaware of the truth and the true situation of the war.

For a moment, the sound was as raging as if oil was boiling on a fire.

After such an indescribable change in the situation, Yue Hanzhang still shook his head firmly.

"We should not be swayed by them. We should proceed at our own pace and first defend the mountain streams, hills, wetlands and forests, and then we can think of other things."

It seems that the foreseeable huge reputation brought by this bloody battle has made many noble families lose their composure.

Just grabbing a part of it is enough to make the achievement famous and even soar into the sky.

But there was one thing Yue Hanzhang didn't say after all.

The situation is so fierce that it may not last long.

Just as he was thinking this, Yue Hanzhang suddenly blinked.

The illusory perspective of the quiet world was superimposed on Yue Hanzhang's vision.

At this moment, the place where the three of them were standing had almost become a vast ocean formed by the flowing light of the Purple Gold Dao Sea.

Not only are they gathering towards Yue Hanzhang.

With the release of the video, Yue Hanzhang's dormant cultivation and the explosion of his combat power are certainly eye-catching.

But in the unlimited fighting and attacks in the wilderness, whether it is the Frost Fire Dragon Fox's extraordinary power and exquisite coordination of the field, or the Shadow Tiger and Leopard's silent display of the hunting essence of the top predator.

These are all extremely amazing.

And God knows how many people, including Qizhou, the northern states, and even the entire Taoist Alliance, are paying attention to any details that can be exposed in this bloody battle at this moment!
At this moment, a huge amount of Dao Hai light was madly converging towards the three people.

It's not just Yue Hanzhang!
For the first time in his vision, there was such an obvious light from the sea of ​​Tao that was integrated into the appearance, spirit and momentum of Jiang Lingxiu and Huang Zhishu, becoming a part of their foundation.

Moreover, after being tempered by blood and fire, this stream of light that came from the bloody battle, for no reason, naturally carried a certain sense of extreme precipitation and condensation.

This is the reward they deserve for their performance.

What's more, what is even more valuable is that in this condensed ocean of light, Yue Hanzhang saw far more Dao sea light that was full of activated spirituality than usual.

This means that those who pay attention to the videos posted by the students of the various academies and whose hearts and emotions are touched by their performances are not just ordinary people in a wider range of territories.

There are also too many true Taoist monks who are paying attention to the details of the bloody battle.

This is a change brought about by the attention of a large number of Taoist practitioners.

And at this moment, even in the midst of the screen full of light pollution, Yue Hanzhang still keenly captured the "sun" that was almost like a gathering of animated spiritual streams of light condensing in mid-air.

Han Yue's army had to hold up the entire Jichuan defense line, and the considerable combat power demonstrated by the reserve camps on the central front had become the most powerful evidence on the surface.

In these extraordinary times, we must do extraordinary things!
What new Taoism, what remnants of Tiandu Taoist Temple, are nothing in the face of the crisis of Qizhou sinking!
These are the remaining reserve camps of the Han Yue Army. At this moment, they must make an unreserved effort to attack the extraordinary realm together with the support of the military secret formation!
This does not even include the desert garrison troops that have been transformed into the new rear camps of Han Yue Army.

This is just the full display of the "potential" of Han Yue's army.

A feeling of natural development arises spontaneously in my heart.

So he stood up suddenly.

"I'll stay in the car for a while. Lingxiu, Zhishu, help me protect the Dharma!"
