In the car, the three of them were fast asleep. Wei Xiaoran patted his face and drove back to the Qimen base.

During this time, Wei Xiaoran pressed the camellia mark in the rearview mirror and frowned.

The car slowly drove to the base and stopped. Wei Xiaoran then discovered that the camellia mark on his neck was gone. He tried to control his sword, but Sariel came back.

Wei Xiaoran opened the car door and called the three little ones to get up. Ai Yu seemed to have exhausted too much mental energy and was still unconscious, so Zhao Liuer had to carry her away.

When Guan Zaizhou came to hand over the task, he saw that everyone was listless and sighed: "It seems that this batch of newcomers is not good enough. No, it's okay if the newcomers are not good enough, but Wei Xiaoran, what's wrong with you? I remember you were in good physical condition."

The three of them looked at Guan Zaizhou dimly. Wei Xiaoran sighed softly, "It's a long story, but to put it simply, we successfully dealt with two groups of star beasts in that area: one level one, and one level two. As for why we're so tired, it's because..." He pointed at Ai Yu, "Bai Qi, summoned by Ai Yu, chased us and hacked at us for three minutes."

Qian Cheng nodded vigorously: "Yes, that's right. Being chased by a star beast is not as scary as being chased by Bai Qi. He really kills people."

"Yeah, yeah, he even cut my gun in half." Zhao Liu'er shrugged. "That first-level star beast was also killed by Bai Qi."

"I see. Did Ai Yu faint from mental exhaustion?" Guan Zaizhou stroked his chin. "Let's go back to base first and have the medical officer check on Ai Yu to see if there are any other problems. Qian Cheng and Zhao Liu'er will stay with Ai Yu. Wei Xiaoran, come with me to review the mission." He looked at Qian Cheng and Zhao Liu'er. "You three have to write a report as well. Submit it by 7 a.m. tomorrow at the latest."

Zhao Liuer exclaimed, "Can you not write it?"

"No." Guan Zaizhou grinned, took Wei Xiaoran in his arms and walked away, "Remember to ask Ai Yu to write a report when she wakes up."

Watching the two walk away, Qian Cheng and Zhao Liuer looked at each other and sighed in unison: "Let's go."

On the way to review, Wei Xiaoran pressed his sword finger against his neck: "Uncle Guan, there is something I am concerned about."

"Hmm? Go ahead." Guan Zaizhou patted Wei Xiaoran's shoulder. "You're exhausted today and want to have a good meal? We'll see how much reward the higher-ups give you later. If it's not much, your idea will be ruined."

"No." Wei Xiaoran pursed his lips. "In fact, there was more than one level one star beast. There should be another one. After we dealt with the first wave of star beasts, I was shot by an arrow and lost Sariel. I timed it with my bracelet, and the effect lasted for one hour. During this time, there was a camellia mark on my neck."

"Oh... this... isn't right? What did you say? Camellia?! You encountered a camellia?!" Guan Zaizhou examined Wei Xiaoran from head to toe, his face serious. "That's not first-grade, it's special-grade."

Guan Zaizhou sent a message to Wei Xiaoran, who clicked on it and read:

Codename: Camellia. Special grade, with an unpredictable temperament, often appearing as an elf from foreign stories. Sariel: Deprivation. Effect: When an arrow strikes an opponent, it leaves a Camellia mark and simultaneously steals their Sariel. The deprivation effect lasts for one hour, and the person whose Sariel is deprived cannot use it.

Wei Xiaoran stared at the word "special grade" intently, sweat dripping down his face. It took him a while to come back to his senses. He took a steady breath and said, "Fortunately, that guy didn't make a move today, otherwise, we might..."

Thinking about it this way, being chased and hacked by Bai Qi is not so scary anymore.

Guan Zaizhou patted their shoulders and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Maybe Qian Cheng's Sariel saved you once. After all, the upper limit of that kid's Sariel is comparable to S-level. Luck is unpredictable. If he's lucky, he can kill a star beast with just a sneeze.

Qimen doesn't know much about the Thirty Legions, so the recorded information is also very limited. "The most important thing on the battlefield is to adapt to the situation, and you've done a great job." Even Guan Zaizhou was worried about Wei Xiaoran. "Fortunately, Camellia seems to be in a good mood."

But now, I'm thinking about one thing that's really concerning me. The detectives in Area 1 have been disappearing one after another, but it's not like even the Special Grade can't be detected, right? The power level within the Special Grade is enough to sound the alarm. Qimen sent you guys to deal with the scum, and now a Special Grade has appeared. While Qimen has its reasons for doing this, it shouldn't be such a dangerous mission.

The southern defense line I went to only had two first-level star beasts. The tip above mentioned that there might be a special-level one."

The more Guan Zaizhou thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

"By the way, Uncle Guan, when we discovered the Level 1 Star Beast, we tried to send a message to Qimen, but it didn't work."

"Oh?" Guan Zaizhou fell into deep thought. If so, this matter would be even more concerning. Or, has the star beasts produced a new Sariel who can intercept radio waves?

After sleeping for three hours, Ai Yu finally woke up. She glanced at the furnishings in the room and looked at Qian Cheng and Zhao Liuer who were sleeping on the bed. She didn't say anything. When she noticed her shoulder bag next to the pillow, she began to read.

Sister Hua said, don’t disturb others when they are sleeping.

Qian Cheng was the first to wake up. He found that Ai Yu had already woken up, while Zhao Liu'er across from him was still asleep. So he used his wristband to send a message to Ai Yu: "Are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat."

Ai Yu looked at the message and nodded to Qian Cheng. His reminder made Ai Yu realize that she seemed to be hungry.

Qian Cheng made an OK gesture and left.

Ai Yu continued reading, wondering who to summon next time.

Bai Qi really consumed too much of his energy and mental strength, and one move made him dizzy for three hours.

Besides Bai Qi, the four great generals of the Warring States period also included Li Mu, Wang Jian, and Lian Po. Regarding Wang Jian, the historical record states: "Zong Jing, the crown prince of King Ling of Zhou, was known as the Wang family, hence his surname. Wang Jian was the fourteenth-generation grandson of Zong Jing. The First Emperor respected him as his teacher."

Ai Yu frowned slightly. It seemed that the First Emperor's master could not be summoned now.

She continued to look at Li Mu, the most outstanding general of the six eastern states during the late Warring States period. Emperor Wen of Han's tribute to Li Mu led to the term "Po Mu" becoming a nickname for the famous general.

Um……

Ai Yu changed the book and continued reading in a different dynasty.

She felt that the four famous generals of the Warring States Period were too powerful, so she decided to look at some who were not so powerful. Teacher Li and Wen Xiaowan had said that one should act within one's ability, as it is very dangerous to faint on the battlefield.

Ai Yu looked for a long time and became interested in the white-robed Confucian general. Why not summon the white-robed Confucian general next time?

Having made up his mind, Ai Yu put the history book down and continued reading the global history.

When Zhao Liuer woke up, she happened to run into Qian Cheng coming back with three meals. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked at Ai Yu: "Ai Yu, you're awake."

"Um."

"Brothers, it's time to eat~" Qian Cheng opened the small table on the ice bed and placed three boxed lunches on it. Zhao Liuer opened the lunch boxes and saw that the food was very rich, much better than what we had in Jigong. "Wow, the food in District 1 is really good."

After hearing this, Qian Cheng smiled but said nothing.

Ai Yu picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat and put it into his mouth. It tasted very good.

The food in Area 1 is really good, Ai Yu thought to himself.
