I Open Treasure Chests in the Apocalypse

When Earth becomes a battlefield and killing becomes the norm, everyone eagerly awaits their desired items from treasure chests dropped by monsters. But he, having opened so many treasure chests, h...

Chapter 1375 The Sixteen-Character Policy

After hanging up the video call, Jiang Yuan let out a long sigh of relief. He was really not used to talking to his father-in-law online. The key was that Liu Hongyuan used to be very critical of him. Of course, he didn't have a good temper either. In the past, barging into Liu's house was a common occurrence.

"Master, do you really want to marry the mistress?" The tomb maiden asked hesitantly.

"What's wrong? Is something the problem?" Jiang Yuan asked casually.

The tomb maiden shook her head repeatedly, and finally whispered her worries, "The mistress's fate is incompatible with the master's. Death brings good fortune, it just sounds awkward."

"Ha ha!"

Jiang Yuan was amused and laughed, "What's wrong? Can death only bring disaster? Wouldn't it be better to be a loving and lucky death?"

“That’s not what the Tomb Maiden meant.” After saying that, the Tomb Maiden was about to kneel down, her bones still engraved with the hierarchical order that had been passed down for thousands of years.

"Alright, alright, stop kneeling before me!" Jiang Yuan waved his hand and lifted the tomb maiden away, saying, "You should learn from Jiang Jun. There's no need to be so distant with me."

"I think so too..."

"Shut up!"

Jiang Jun was about to speak, but the Tomb Woman glared at him fiercely, which frightened him so much that he could only swallow back the words he was about to say.

There was no way around it; the second-ranked undead servant was no match for the first-ranked one. This was a hierarchy etched into the cycle of reincarnation, and even Jiang Jun could only obey it with tears in his eyes.

"Alright, before we find the token, let's go and deal with the alien race!"

Jiang Yuan got up to leave. The alien race still had a large number of troops stationed near Wanshan City, and he had to draw their attention to them.

He had just gotten up to leave when he bumped into a figure in a great hurry.

"Xiaoyu?" Jiang Yuan was somewhat surprised to see the person who came, because An Xiaoyu had been staying in Wanshan City for some time and he had not told her about his next move.

"Trying to sneak away again?"

An Xiaoyu didn't say much, but she had already grabbed Jiang Yuan's sleeve, as if afraid that he would leave without saying goodbye again.

"Why are you here?" Jiang Yuan asked with a wry smile.

"Otherwise, I'll let you continue to give me the silent treatment!" An Xiaoyu said unhappily.

Jiang Yuan immediately apologized, "How could that be? I really did have something to do, otherwise I would definitely have taken you with me."

The influence of the Heavenly Dao on celestial bodies is still enormous. Liu Zhaodi refused to reveal Jiang Yuan's whereabouts to An Xiaoyu because of this. However, this matter cannot be mentioned in the open, otherwise it will definitely affect the relationship between the two women.

"I'm not going to pursue this matter anymore, but from now on, you have to take me with you no matter what you do," An Xiaoyu commanded aggressively, hands on her hips.

Jiang Yuan glanced back at the Tomb Woman and Jiang Jun, his eyes full of pleading for help, but to his surprise, the two turned away to chat as if they had betrayed him, completely ignoring his pleas for help.

One thing at a time, they didn't want to get involved in the mistresses' feud.

"Look at me!" An Xiaoyu raised her foot and kicked Jiang Yuan's shin, clearly acting like she was throwing a tantrum.

"Okay, okay, I'll take you with me." Jiang Yuan could only agree verbally for now, otherwise he was afraid the other party would tear him apart.

Women are troublesome, but jealous women are even more troublesome.

"So what did you say you were going to do?" An Xiaoyu asked, her expression softening slightly.

"Um……"

Jiang Yuan was silent for a moment, then said meaningfully, "Of course, we should go and give the alien race that is causing the most trouble a friendly look."

"Okay, then I'll go with you!"

An Xiaoyu blurted out, but then immediately retorted, "You, Jiang Yuan, how dare you say I'm being unreasonable!"

"without!"

Jiang Yuan quickly waved his hand, denying it, "I didn't say that, that's just your own opinion."

An Xiaoyu was furious at this shameless statement, but she wasn't here to throw a tantrum. She not only wanted to help Jiang Yuan, but also to show him her potential. She was definitely no less capable than anyone else, including Liu Zhaodi and Bu Yao.

"Let's go! Today I'll vent my anger for my husband and see who dares to clamor for a divine position!" An Xiaoyu grabbed Jiang Yuan's hand and started to walk out.

"No, are we not taking them?" Jiang Yuan asked helplessly.

"No need, the two of us are enough." An Xiaoyu just wanted to enjoy some private time with the two of them, so why would she bring a few third wheels?

Upon seeing this, Jiang Yuan immediately gave the two orders: "Then you two should act according to the situation. Make sure you don't get surrounded by the alien race. Keep retreating into the depths of the Hundred Thousand Mountains."

Their direct combat capabilities are clearly weaker than those of the foreign races, and now they are determined to carry out the sixteen-character strategy to the end: When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy camps, we harass; when the enemy tires, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue.

"Don't worry, brother, just have fun with your sister-in-law." Jiang Jun still indulged his mischievous nature. He really wasn't used to the way the Tomb Maiden had to lower her status even when addressing someone. He was, after all, a demigod back then, so even if someone was someone he respected immensely, he would only keep it in his heart.

"We're on a mission, not playing around!"

Jiang Yuan directly corrected him, especially Jiang Jun's expression, which made it seem like the two of them were going out for a secret rendezvous. In fact, he had no intention of having a secret rendezvous at all; he only wanted the alien race to pay the price.

After concealing their presence, the two left the base, and it was clear that their battle lines were constantly shrinking.

Those who can fight here are all directly or indirectly related to Jiang Yuan. First of all, they are the beastmen from the Hundred Thousand Mountains. These beastmen make up most of his team and obey Xiao Tuanzi and Youhuang.

Secondly, there's his core force: the Oath Army of seventy-two, including Death Knights and Tauren. Of course, there are other war-torn races on the Imperial Star besides these two. While the Goblins didn't directly participate in the battle, due to Jiang Yuan's control over the Imperial Star's world veins, they were all mobilized to mine resources across the battlefield, supplying Jiang Yuan's troops in a 30/70 split. Then there's the Blood Demon Clan; he established a mercenary relationship with them, and his army includes many mercenaries from the Blood Demon Clan. Finally, there are the two mysterious envoys Liu Zhaodi received: the Dragon Summoner and the Wind Envoy.
