Ironclad, died and resurrected, I've decided to go to the mic!

Just as Yanqing was about to get up and ask Jingliu for some advice.

A series of staggering footsteps came from ahead.

A Yunqi soldier who had been sent to scout ahead stumbled back.

His breathing was erratic, and the faint signs of the impending attack of the demonic possession were appearing on his face.

He mustered his last shred of clarity and reported to Fu Xuan:

"Reporting to the Grand Diviner, there is a huge cauldron of elixir in the center ahead..."

The cauldron was constantly emitting white smoke, and that white smoke... would accelerate the induction of the demonic yin body!

Many brothers were already... after just getting a little closer...

Before he could finish speaking, his body went limp and he fell straight to the ground.

Qi Ye rushed forward to support him, patting him several times before barely managing to suppress the surging demonic aura.

He laid the soldier flat on the ground, frowned, and looked up at Fu Xuan:

"Fortunately, it's just a demonic entity induced by drugs, not a natural attack, so it's not too difficult to suppress."

But if the white smoke were any denser, I probably would have had to take several more shots.

Fu Xuan stood at the front of the group, his brows furrowed as he gazed at the faintly visible white column of smoke at the far end of the distance.

She hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"This is troublesome."

The white smoke covered the entire central square, and we couldn't advance any further unless it was shut off.

If the main force of the Cloud Cavalry were to force their way through the white smoke, they would likely be devoured by the Demonic Yin Body before even seeing the enemy.

Qi Ye raised his hand.

Fu Xuan glanced at him, ignored him, and continued:

"Destroying the alchemy cauldron remotely is too risky. If the explosion causes the white smoke to spread throughout the entire alchemy department and even the surrounding caves, the consequences would be unimaginable."

We must send someone into the area of ​​white smoke to find the switch on the alchemical cauldron and turn it off.

The problem is, the people from the Immortal Ship simply cannot withstand the white smoke for long.

Qi Ye raised her hand again, this time even higher, and shook it several times.

Fu Xuan still ignored him and continued:

"If we can control the golden figure to enter the white smoke area, we can avoid the problem of the demonic body."

However, the operation of the golden figure by the Ministry of Works required specialized equipment and personnel to maintain the signal nearby.

The signal interference is severe within the area of ​​white smoke, and the golden man might lose control if he enters.

Instead, it became a problem for us.

Qiye raised her hand for the third time, this time standing on tiptoe and raising her arm straight up, waving it around in the air.

Fu Xuan finally couldn't hold back any longer, turned to look at him, and said helplessly:

"Speak if you want to, no need to raise your hand. It's not like I'm stopping you from speaking."

"Commander Fu Xuan, I have three proposals."

Qiye put down her hand:

"You've already mentioned the first two proposals, so there's no need to repeat them!"

And the third proposal is…”

He raised his last finger and pointed it at himself.

"I am not a celestial being, nor do I possess a demonic body. The white smoke is useless against me."

I can go inside, find the switch on that alchemy cauldron, and turn it off. While my master is asleep, I can finish this quickly.

Jingliu was lying on his head, so asleep that he was practically drooling.

He had no idea that his disciple was about to volunteer to venture into dangerous territory.

"no."

Fu Xuan refused almost reflexively.

"The white smoke will not directly induce those who do not possess a demonic body."

But nobody knows what's really going on inside.

There are likely elite guards near the alchemy cauldron, guarded by secret techniques passed down by the Medicine King.

What if something happens if you go in alone?

What if the white smoke not only triggers the demonic body, but also contains other toxins?

What if there are far more enemies inside than you imagine? What if…”

"Fu Xuan, you just said that yourself!"

The main force of the Cloud Cavalry cannot force their way in; destroying them from a distance is too risky, and the Jurchens will lose control once they enter.

Besides sending someone in to manually shut it off, are there any other methods?

Qi Ye interrupted her, becoming unusually serious.

"Among everyone present, I am the only one without a demonic body."

Yanqing is a Xianzhou person, my master is also a Xianzhou person, you are also a Xianzhou person, and all the Yunqi Army soldiers are Xianzhou people.

"You'll all risk having your demonic possession flare up if you go in, but I don't. This is the most logical arrangement."

Fu Xuan looked at him, remained silent for a long while, then lowered his voice and said in a volume that only Qi Ye could hear:

"You promised me you wouldn't be at the very front."

"You're someone I finally managed to find. If anything happens to you again... I... I'll never forgive you."

Her voice was clearly threatening.

But for some reason, when he said the last few words, he sounded a bit aggrieved.

Yanqing also stepped forward, saying with concern:

"Mr. Qiye, everyone saw how you treated the wounded just now."

If something happens to you in the white smoke, who will take care of the injured behind you?

You're the best doctor in our team, we can't let you take this risk.

If all else fails, we can wait for our companions from the Star Train to come over from the Construction Division.

Perhaps one of them has a more suitable solution.

If you insist on going, why don't I go with you? I can scout ahead and at least help you hold off the enemy.

Qi Ye scratched his head; he genuinely believed he could do this.

Having sold so many light cones and inherited so many abilities, he's no longer the pathetic loser who could be easily crushed.

He currently has at least several permanent light cone effects on him.

He didn't really take a mere cauldron emitting white smoke seriously.

However, Yanqing is right. If he goes in, the wounded will indeed be left without anyone to treat them.

He was just thinking about whether or not to wake his master up and bring him along.

A mumbled, indistinct voice suddenly came from above.

Jingliu was awakened by his earlier argument.

The little head lifted out of his hair, looking around sleepily.

Her little hands instinctively conjured a chilling ice sword, and she asked in a childish voice:

"What's all the noise about? Is there an enemy? Do you want me to kill him?"

Her eyes weren't fully open yet, and her hair was a mess from sleeping.

But the ice sword in his hand was already firmly held in front of him, with the tip pointing directly at the spot where Yan Qing was standing.

Yanqing subconsciously took half a step back.

"It's alright, it's alright, there are no enemies, Master, you can continue sleeping."

Qi Ye quickly reached out and pressed down the ice sword in Jing Liu's hand.

Jingliu glanced at him groggily, then at Yanqing.

It seemed that she had confirmed there were no targets around that required her intervention.

Then he threw the ice sword into the air, and the ice sword turned into several snowflakes that drifted away.

Then she lay back down on Qiye's head, closed her eyes, and fell asleep again a few seconds later.

At that moment, a light screen that only Qiye could see unfolded before his eyes.

The information about the new light cone appeared line by line.

[Light Cone Name: "Mirror of Reversal"]

Rarity: ★★★★★

[Ability: When activated, a large aura is generated around the wearer.]

All friendly units within the aura's coverage area are immune to all negative effects, including but not limited to:

Erosion by demonic forces, drug inducement, mental pollution, toxin invasion, fear, chaos, and any form of mind manipulation.

The halo's coverage area is approximately 500 meters, and it moves as the wearer moves.

[Side effect: During the duration of the aura, the wearer's personality will be reversed.]

Introverted becomes extroverted, calm becomes lively, indifferent becomes enthusiastic, aloof becomes clingy, and so on.

The halo returns to normal after being turned off.

【Friendly reminder: This light cone is especially suitable for characters who usually suppress their true selves and need to release their true nature.】

Before wearing it, please make sure there are no people around you that you would not want to face in your personality-reversed state.

Furthermore, things said and done during the personality reversal period will remain in memory even after the aura ends. Please be cautious.

Qi Ye stared at the effect of the light cone on the screen, his eyes lighting up.

Isn't this like a pillow being delivered when you're sleepy?

With this halo, the entire Cloud Cavalry formation is immune to the negative effects of the white smoke.

There was absolutely no need for him to risk his life alone.

He looked up, a bright smile appearing on his face that made Fu Xuan instinctively feel something was wrong.

"Little Fu Xuan, I have an idea."
