The entire place was silent, and only the sound of " pa da, pa da " could be heard. Looking in the direction of the sound, everyone's mouths were wide open, and a few people had intermittent drool hanging from the corners of their mouths. The sound just now was the sound of drool falling to the ground.
They could not be blamed for this. The scene just now was too fast and shocking. Everyone saw Mo Dong suddenly go crazy and strike out a palm at the void. Then, his body suddenly froze, and a cloaked dwarf suddenly appeared in the air... In the end, Mo Dong spat out a mouthful of blood. His sleepy eyes widened and he stopped moving…Only his charred right hand was emitting wisps of green smoke, as if it was being roasted…
The scene changed drastically before anyone could wake up from their fantasy of delicious food. They were so shocked that they didn't even have time to close the fist-sized " animal "...
" Second Brother, Third Brother…" At this moment, an anxious voice sounded from not far away. A figure quickly flashed in front of Li and Pi, sizing them up and touching them. He asked with concern," Are you alright, Second Brother, Third Brother?"
Li and Pi's eyes regained their focus. They turned their attention to the cloaked dwarf and looked at the newcomer. They were filled with surprise." Big brother, it's you. It's really you…Big brother!"
The person who came was Qi Yong, who rushed over anxiously. Qi Yong nodded and saw that the two of them were safe and sound. He wiped away the tears in his eyes.
" Haha, I knew it. How could the boss die so easily? How could the regiment commander die? That old bastard must be spouting nonsense…Damn it, I was almost fooled by that old bastard," Li Dong said with tears in his eyes.
Bi Wu pursed his lips and smiled brightly.
Qi Yong glanced at the crowd. When he saw the cloaked dwarf in the middle of the field, his eyes lit up. He cupped his hands towards the cloaked dwarf and said,"Thank you, Lord Consecrator."
That's right, Yichen was the one who had just killed Mo Dong in one move.
Li and Pi looked at the cloaked dwarf and asked curiously,"”Then, he swept his gaze behind Qi Yong and asked,"Big brother, where's the regiment commander?"”
Hearing this, the smile on Qi Yong's face disappeared like lightning, replaced by endless sadness and sorrow…
……
The bottom of the Shinozaki Valley. Although it was at the bottom of the valley, the strange thing was that the surroundings were filled with white fog. Flags with red wolf heads were hung everywhere in the valley. There was a sentry post every ten steps and a sentry post every hundred steps…Deep in the winding mountain road, there was a spacious hall. In the hall, a few figures were sitting in a row.
"... Sigh, that's how it is." Qi Yong shook his head and sighed.
Li and Pi's faces turned red, and their eyes bulged.
" Mo Dong died too easily…Damn it, this kind of person should be cut into pieces by a thousand knives and be executed by all means," Li Dong cursed loudly. As he said that, he slammed his right hand on the table, and the pitiful wooden table shattered into pieces with a crash.
"Third brother!" Qi Yong and Bi Wu frowned and looked at Yi Chen. Seeing that the other party didn't care, they heaved a sigh of relief.
Bi Wu pulled Li Dong, who didn't know what to do, and stood up. He cupped his hands and said," Master Revered Elder, Li Dong is like this. Please don't blame him." Li Dong looked embarrassed.
" Haha, Captain Li is a man of character," Yichen laughed.
" Master Revered Elder, please forgive me for not welcoming you earlier…Li Dong represents our brothers to thank you for saving us…Damn it, from now on, the lives of my brothers and I will belong to you, Master Revered Elder," Li Dong said in a low voice. A burly man spoke in such a gentle and refined manner, causing Yi Chen's hair to stand on end. However, he still spoke loudly with a red face in the end.
Qi and Pi shook their heads helplessly.
" Oh right, you should get used to it. Your tone just now really killed me." Yichen's strange expression disappeared and he sighed in his heart. He waved his hand and laughed heartily. He said in a hoarse voice," Haha, Captain Li, you're too serious. As a consecrator, this is something that should be done by me. Captain Li, you're treating me like an outsider."
"No outsiders, no outsiders. This daddy hopes that Lord Revered Elder will be like this…" Li Dong laughed loudly, and the soldier beside him quickly stopped him.
"Report!" Unexpectedly, a mercenary entered the room in a panic. Seeing the instructions of the lords, he quickly reported,"Brothers, we found a large number of Mo family troops not far away. According to the scouts, the Mo family is currently led by three elders, and all of them are rushing towards the valley."
"What?" Everyone's expression changed drastically.
" The Mo Family is here!" Bi Wu clenched his fists.
"Three Elders, that means…three elite Dou Lings. This is troublesome." Qi Yong frowned and said.
" Mo Dong, that bastard. He must have done it. Damn it, he didn't even let me have peace after he died. At that time, I said that he should be tortured to death and be executed by a thousand cuts…" Li Dong glared at him.
Yi Chen also frowned slightly. It seemed like Mo Dong knew that it would not be easy to fight for the treasure this time. He was afraid that the situation would change, so he sent a distress signal to the Mo family. This time around, if there was only one elite Dou Ling from the Mo Family, he would be able to deal with him. If there were two of them, although it would be difficult, there would still be a chance for him to deal with them. If he fully activated his Reincarnation Eye and added his unique fighting technique, he would be able to remain undefeated. Now that there were three of them, he clearly did not have the confidence…
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became heavy. Everyone was thinking hard. Right at this moment, a mercenary ran over and excitedly said," Lord Revered Elder, Captain, there's news from the headquarters." He handed a letter to Qi Yong, who handed it to Yi Chen.
Yi Chen opened the letter, raised his eyebrows, and then handed it to everyone, saying,"Take a look."
" The heavens are on my side. The commander is not far from here. He's on his way here," Bi Wu said happily.
Qi Yong nodded and said with a smile,"There are still those few Dou Huangs who have come. In that case, there is no need to fear the Mo clan."
" I say, what are those Dou Huangs that are raised by dogs doing here? Since they are forcing us to do it, they should just leave it to us. Why are they still here, supervising…" Li Dong said angrily.
"Third brother, don't speak nonsense. The mission this time is important. The few Dou Huangs attach great importance to it."
"No…Captain Li's words are not without reason." Yichen interrupted,"This old man has heard Captain Qi say that this mission is extremely strange. Moreover…this old man's heart has been quite uneasy these few days. Perhaps something big will happen. Since we can complete it, why can't Dou Huang…" Brothers, you have to be careful."
Everyone's expressions changed when they heard this. After which, they nodded repeatedly. They knew that this ordinary-looking dwarf in front of them was an expert Dou Ling. He was an expert who could instantly kill Mo Dong, who was a Dou Ling. His strength might even surpass the captain. The premonition of such an expert was definitely not groundless. Moreover, everyone treated those few Dou Huangs as outsiders. Therefore, everyone would rather believe the former.
" The Great Commander has specifically instructed us not to make any mistakes in this mission. We must find the approximate location of the treasure as soon as possible. Therefore, we should act as soon as possible. However, the Mo Family is eyeing us covetously outside. We definitely can't make a big move. What should we do?" Qi Yong analyzed.
" Yes, my third brother and I found a large number of Wind Wolves in the God's Descent. So, we should be there. But other than that, we found nothing," Bi Wu nodded in agreement.
" It would be best if someone with a strong cultivation base could secretly investigate when the Mo Clan isn't paying attention. In that case, such a person can only be chosen from the three people outside," Qi Yong suggested. Everyone nodded repeatedly.
" However, this kind of mission is extremely difficult. If you are not careful, you will die." When Bi Wu said this, everyone fell silent. It was not because they were afraid of death, but because they were afraid that the person who went to investigate would die, and the information would no longer be available. The dead person's actions would be in vain.
"Let me go…" At this moment, Yichen, who was at the head of the table, said indifferently.
"No, the Lord Exalt is our pillar now. With the Lord Exalt, our brothers will feel that we have a backbone. We can't do without the Lord Exalt here."
"Also, what if the Mo family attacks without the Lord Guardian guarding?"
Everyone protested and vehemently objected.
"Haha, brothers, listen to me." Yichen used his hand to suppress his voice."It's really because I'm everyone's pillar of support. I know how heavy my task is. Moreover, none of you are completely confident in this task. Be it the Mo Family or the Wind Wolf, I'm confident in facing them. Even if I can't defeat them, I believe that escaping won't be a problem."
" This..." Everyone thought about it, but they were hesitant.
" Alright, it's settled then. I'll definitely return as soon as possible. The Mo Family must have already known about Mo Dong's death. They'll definitely be suspicious of the strength of this place. They won't be able to make a move and won't dare to make a move…If you come here, remember to defend until the end and wait for reinforcements," Yichen instructed in one breath when he saw that everyone had relented.
Everyone sighed and said with tears in their eyes,"Lord Exalt, you must come back as soon as possible. Our brothers will wait for you."
Yi Chen smiled and got up."There's no time to lose. I'll leave immediately." He took a few steps and turned his head."Right, take good care of Xianer."
Qi Yong had previously said firmly,"Lord Revered Elder, don't worry. Little Fairy Doctor will definitely be safe and sound. You, on the other hand, must be careful."
" Haha, alright. It's as if I can't come back." Yi Chen left after he finished speaking.
……
After leaving the mercenary group, Yichen took off his cloak and hat. He looked at the vast Magical Beast Forest and looked up at the dark blue sky. He twisted his waist and took a few deep breaths of fresh air. Yi Chen felt extremely tired after playing the role of an old dwarf for so long. However, when he thought about how the mercenary group did not see through him, he was extremely excited.
" I didn't expect my acting skills to have reached such a level. I wonder how it will compare to the Oscar-winning actor in my previous life," Yichen thought to himself. However, paper couldn't hide the fire. There was no wall that couldn't leak air. There were no shoes that wouldn't get wet when walking by the river. After a long time, careful people would notice. Putting everything else aside, he had actually been seen through in front of the 'Wan Poison Ancestor' the last time. With such a deduction, the expert Dou Huang who had come this time around would definitely be able to see through it. At that time, if he was exposed, not only would he be in big trouble, he might even lose his life. Therefore, this time, he requested to investigate to avoid the risk of being exposed.
In addition... there was another important reason. He could not wait to go to the " God's Strange Land " that they were talking about. It was because there was a call from the depths of her soul. She wanted to see him, but Yichen himself did not want anyone to disturb her. He did not want anyone to touch her in his heart...
Therefore, Yi Chen decided to be alone. If he was lucky enough to obtain the legendary treasure, he would be able to steal it. At most, he would return without anyone knowing and bring the Fairy Doctor away. He would leave the mercenary group and wait until he became stronger.
After relaxing his muscles and bones, Yichen waved his arm and rushed forward…
