Gao Wu: Others practice martial arts, but you cultivate immortality?

"Who would bother learning this stuff? It's much more practical to learn a martial art..." Wang Ying explained, "Most missions don't offer opportunities like this."

If you can't even defeat the enemy, how can you have time to set up formations and refine them?

"And those weaker tribes that had the means to act had already submitted to the Qin Dynasty, so naturally they couldn't do that..."

"What a coincidence, I just happened to be learning this kind of thing..."

"..."

With the experience from the first two times, it became much easier to do it again later.

The Blood Pills and Spirit Nourishing Pills in Chu Yuan's spatial ring had piled up into a small mountain, countless in number!

If you were to sell them, who knows how much wealth you would make!

At the very least, he once traded a Blood Pill and a Spirit Nourishing Pill for a decent cultivation technique from Xiang Ning...

"There shouldn't be any more settlements ahead, we need to change direction," Wang Ying said, looking at the small city below.

Today is the third day. She followed Chu Yuan, searching and refining along the way, without encountering any decent resistance.

Chu Yuan looked into the distance, where the area covered by his divine sense was even more desolate, with no signs of life.

It was like a dead land...

"What is the edge of the secret realm?" he asked;

A so-called secret realm cannot possibly be infinitely large...

"There's nothing there, it's nothingness," Wang Ying replied.

"And what about the depths of nothingness?"

"I don't know, and I haven't explored it either." Wang Ying was somewhat puzzled; Chu Yuan always seemed to have a strange and intense curiosity at times.

It's as if they absolutely must get to the bottom of things, to explore those meaningless matters...

"Alright..." Chu Yuan said with some regret, having received no answer. "Let's go."

Just then, both of them felt a jolt!

"It's Feng Hou! He's calling for help!" Wang Ying said solemnly, taking out the iron plaque she kept close to her body.

These were specially purchased by Li Mengru as props for connecting different characters in special scenarios.

After all, the outer battlefield is too vast, and the terminal only has a signal near the legion... it's just for show in other places;

To put it another way, wherever there's a signal from the terminal, that's pretty much Qin's territory...

As a member of the team, Chu Yuan naturally also had one;

The metal sign could only convey brief information and couldn't transmit text. Wang Ying glanced at it and said, "This direction!"

......

Feng Hou was encased in a thick suit of armor, making him look like a solid block of iron.

Four afterimages circled the iron block, sparks flying amidst a roar...

It was also his arrogance that led him to relentlessly pursue a five-realm three-tailed lizard after discovering it, only to be lured into an ambush.

If they were to fight to the death to escape, it might not be impossible.

But there's no need for that. He's not alone; he has teammates too!

"Humans... cowardly! They dare not fight!" a three-tailed lizard cursed in broken Qin language.

Feng Hou pretended not to hear, inwardly scoffing, thinking to himself, "Isn't this the time for me to chase after you and chop you down?"

His direct combat ability was slightly better than Wang Ying's, but it wasn't enough to withstand this kind of encirclement...

Several three-tailed lizards attacked frantically for a while, but found it difficult to break through the human's armor.

After hitting it for so long, it's only slightly deformed....

They then began to communicate in their own language.

They then spread out their bodies, surrounding Feng Hou in the middle.

The dark green scales on their bodies seemed to flow, converging towards the three sharp tail spikes behind them!

Streams of energy flowed, forming a mist-like substance that dissipated into the air...

Feng Hou immediately sensed something was wrong! The next moment, he felt dizzy, and his hands and feet felt as if they were tied up, making it very difficult to move!

It's poison!?

No, I can't stay here any longer...

He brandished his door-like sword and charged at a three-tailed lizard!

The other party seemed to be in a bad state due to their previous actions, and actually took the initiative to avoid them.

"You...can't escape!" The three-tailed lizard who could speak the Qin language said, watching Feng Hou's movements slow down, his vertical pupils flashing with cruelty;

Poison is the most powerful talent of the three-tailed lizard clan!

In particular, when several members of the same clan joined forces to release the toxin, the lethality increased exponentially!

"Damn it..." Feng Hou cursed inwardly, preparing to unleash a forbidden technique;

But at that moment, a very familiar sword light appeared!

Like a swimming dragon, it weaves among several three-tailed lizards!

In an instant, blood and flesh flew everywhere!

He saw Wang Ying, dressed in a white dress, walking through the air, and said with a teasing expression, "Hey, isn't this Old Feng? What happened to you, looking so disheveled?"

Feng Hou's eyes widened, and he even forgot that he had been poisoned, exclaiming in surprise, "Holy crap! You broke through!?"

"Ha, lucky, lucky..." Wang Ying joked, but still landed quickly to treat Feng Hou's injuries;

Under Feng Hou's control, the armor opened, revealing a bright green face...

Wang Ying put a pill into his mouth, and her hand glowed again as she pressed it onto Feng Hou's head.

"Chu Yuan... I feel like you've gotten stronger too?"

"Uh... I was lucky too." Chu Yuan flicked Feng Hou's battle sword, producing a dull sound; "The materials used are so solid..."

"You guys... are all so lucky?" Feng Hou, too lazy to care about Chu Yuan's complaints about his precious battle sword, said sourly;

Why didn't he get lucky?

Could it be because the location he chose had bad feng shui...?

Wang Ying asked, "How's the clearing operation going on your end?"

"Almost done." Although Feng Hou's attack power was weak, he was good at making some strange and explosive gadgets... which were quite efficient at clearing out those ordinary three-tailed lizards;

Similarly, if Wang Ying were to act alone, while she wouldn't excel in direct combat, she could concoct poisons...

When facing stronger opponents or those of the same level, there's simply nothing that can be done.

But when it comes to slaughtering the weak, there are plenty of ways to do it...

Wang Ying said with some delight, "It seems that this mission went quite smoothly, and we didn't encounter any obstacles!"

Li Qi and Meng Ru didn't ask for help either, so they figured they were pretty much done...

Chu Yuan poured cold water on her: "So, what happened to the original five-realm clansmen of the Three-Tailed Lizard Clan?"

"Are you just going to stay home and wait to die?"

Wang Ying thought for a moment and said matter-of-factly, "They might be besieging the captain?"

"..." Chu Yuan looked at him with newfound respect: "Do you have a grudge against the captain?"

"No, not at all..."

"Then don't you hope things will get better for him?"

"Don't worry, the captain is very resilient..."
