Skip this! Just tell me who to kill!

"Hmm?" Qin Muyuan asked with a curious expression upon hearing this.

"When did you start chasing me?"

There's actually someone chasing after me?

How come he didn't feel anything at all?

"We've been ordered to pursue them, but... we haven't caught up..."

The leading soldier lowered his head and said.

They were indeed ordered to pursue Qin Muyuan, but Qin Muyuan moved too quickly.

Often, before they even arrived, Qin Muyuan had already finished killing and left...

In truth, it's hard to say whether they were lucky or unlucky.

It is precisely because they cannot catch up with Qin Muyuan that the Dingyuan Army has not been killed by Qin Muyuan and has survived to this day...

They were ordered to pursue Qin Muyuan, and they heard about it while following behind him.

Qin Muyuan, all by himself, broke through the governor and military commander of Hongyan County, and routed the elite Hundred-Refined Army!

If the Hundred-Refined Army is in such a state, then these Dingyuan Army soldiers guarding the border will be even more likely to be slaughtered by Qin Muyuan!

After all, the border garrison was far inferior to the elite troops in terms of equipment, weapons, and strength.

These soldiers were sent to guard the border because they had no connections in the military camp, so they were sent to such a lowly place as the border.

Not only were they unequipped with weapons, but the food in their barracks was also extremely poor.

Sometimes, the Dingyuan Army even had to find solutions on its own.

This sounds incredible.

How can border troops protect the frontier and fight the enemy if they can't even get enough to eat?

But what if... the border guards on the other side of the mountain country are like that too?

In the mountains and forests, the border guards of the Fire Cloud Kingdom even encountered the border guards of the Small Mountain Kingdom when they went hunting in the mountains.

The two armies even fought each other over wild game...

"Then why are you here now?"

Qin Muyuan looked at the wounded soldiers of the Dingyuan Army and asked.

The leading soldier had just shouted to Qin Muyuan to run away, and although his tone was disrespectful, Qin Muyuan was magnanimous and didn't mind.

Instead, they gained a favor from the leading soldier.

Therefore, Qin Muyuan was now willing to listen to the leading soldier say a few more words.

"We can't catch up with you, but that gilded captain sent down here is forcibly ordering us to continue the pursuit..."

The leading soldier said:

"We didn't want to die in vain, so... we killed the captain, faked the death as an accident, and then fled back to Qinghua County..."

"Who would have thought that the Blackwater Demon would arrive so soon after we returned to Qinghua County!"

"Our squad leader has read some strange and unusual books and knows that the Blackwater Demon's puppets only have hearing and smell, but not sight."

"So they led us to build a wall around the county center, firstly to prevent the Blackwater Demon Puppets from surging out in droves, so as to avoid being attacked from both sides."

"Secondly, it's for the sake of the people in the county... Some of our brothers in the army also come from Qinghua County..."

After listening to their words, Qin Muyuan understood.

"It seems that in this corrupt world, the upper echelons are indeed rotten to the core. But in the lower strata, there are still people like the Xiao family and these soldiers who are loyal to their country and its people."

Qin Muyuan thought to himself.

He glanced at the leading soldier and said:

"Take me to the wall you built."

……

A moment later, Qin Muyuan and Wangcai, one human and one wolf, arrived at the wall built by the Dingyuan Army.

It's called a wall, but it's actually just a barrier made of large, miscellaneous items.

According to the leading soldier, they blocked the demon puppet's path with walls and smeared grass on their bodies to mask their scent.

Finally, lower your voice and avoid making a loud noise.

In this way, the demon puppets will not be detected, and most of them can be trapped in the county center.

As for the scattered demonic puppets outside... they can only be dealt with by the local people themselves.

Qin Muyuan followed the group of soldiers to the wall and met their squad leader.

It was a burly man wearing light leather armor, with green grass hanging in front of him.

After sweating, the man would take a blade of grass from in front of him and rub it on the sweat to cover up the smell emanating from his body.

And above this man's head... there was also an exclamation mark shining.

"Sergeant, this is...?"

The leading soldier spoke in a very low voice, whispering in the corporal's ear.

However, the next second, he was interrupted by Qin Muyuan's voice.

"No need for further explanation."

He didn't lower his voice; it was at the usual volume.

Such a volume, when it was heard, caused the demonic puppets in the nearby county center to become restless.

Upon hearing the commotion from the demonic puppet, the sergeant's face paled in horror, and his gaze toward Qin Muyuan instantly turned menacing.

It's like in a zombie movie, when everyone is quietly avoiding the zombies, you suddenly hear a little kid crying loudly, saying he wants to find his mother.

However, the bratty kids in zombie movies are not the same kind of people as Qin Muyuan.

Qin Muyuan took a light step.

The next moment, he traversed a distance of several meters as if by teleportation, appearing in front of the corporal.

He grabbed the corporal and made the corporal's cheeks and his palms slap each other several times.

After a brief greeting, the sergeant's eyes cleared again, and Qin Muyuan then spoke:

"Skip, skip! Skip all the nonsense! State your request!"

"Entrust...entrust?" The sergeant, whose senses had been sharpened by the greetings, asked instinctively.

"I can help you fulfill your current wishes or similar things."

"My wish..." In a state of clarity between his eyes and a dazed mind, the corporal uttered his wish:

"I just want to... fulfill my promise and protect the families of my fallen brothers..."

Corporal Zhao Qiang, unable to contain himself, issues you a task.

[Mission: Protect Gao Yue, Meng Shu, and others]

Corporal Zhao Qiang made a promise to protect the families of his fallen comrades from the Blackwater Demon. However, it's clear that his weak strength renders him powerless to fulfill this promise, leaving him "forced" to seek your help.

[Mission Rewards: Experience Points +2000, Shop Points +7000, White Martial Art - Named Straight Kick]

"What kind of martial arts is this?"

Qin Muyuan raised an eyebrow when he saw the name of this white martial art.

Isn't this name a bit... too casual?

But it doesn't matter anyway.

"Killing the Blackwater Demon will complete two tasks and grant two rewards! A double win! My great wisdom..."

Qin Muyuan marveled at his own extraordinary intelligence.

Fortunately, he hadn't killed the leading soldier earlier, but instead had him lead him to the wall.

Sure enough, he received another mission directly from the corporal.

He casually tossed the still grateful corporal to the soldier from before.

Qin Muyuan's gaze passed through the wall made of piled-up debris.

On the other side of the wall, some demonic puppets had already heard his voice and were roaring as they charged towards the wall.

"Are you going to challenge me?"

Qin Muyuan slumped his shoulders and elbows, his whole body resembling a cannonball about to be ignited.

A burst of bloodthirsty energy erupted, condensing into a blood shadow, which then swiftly rushed into Qin Muyuan's body, forming a blood-red crystal armor on his body.

He placed his elbows in front of him, and two incredibly sharp blood crystal spikes instantly shot out from the tips of his elbows.

"Major Upheaval - Impact!"

Boom!

The floorboards shattered instantly!
