The efficiency of the military district was very high. After the plan was finalized, personnel and materials poured into the First Military District like water to speed up the construction of the military base in Soloburg.
Xiao Qiong and Gu Xingmian also entered the First Military District and trained with the soldiers who participated in this operation to prepare for the future.
However, in addition to this, the two had additional training, such as going out of the defense line.
Before entering Mosca Academy, Xiao Qiong went outside the defense line with others to kill evil spirits for the blood crystal, so he was familiar with the defense line, but it was the first time for Gu Xingmian.
He originally thought that Gwen would just find a team to take them out, but he didn't expect that Gwen would lead them personally.
Gu Xingmian was a little flattered.
Gwen's expression was gentle: "It's okay, I was going outside the defense line anyway, so it's just on my way."
Of course, this was just to let Gu Xingmian and the others not feel so much pressure. In fact, he was worried that the temple would be bad for Gu Xingmian. This was the key to the success of their plan this time, so how could he not care?
Gwen brought a team of bodyguards and quietly protected Xiao Qiong and Gu Xingmian in the middle.
Xiao Qiong noticed this, but just lowered his eyes, and then moved closer to Gu Xingmian.
Gu Xingmian felt his body temperature the moment he got close.
Since the bizarre spring dream in Central City, Gu Xingmian seemed to have suddenly lit up the radar between the two of them.
He began to notice some small details that he had never paid attention to before.
For example, once he was not in Xiao Qiong's spiritual body, Xiao Qiong would subconsciously protect him, and he would always lag behind half a step, so that he would not notice it, but he could always take care of him.
For another example, no matter what the two of them were doing, as long as Gu Xingmian wanted to find Xiao Qiong, he would definitely see him when he raised his eyes, and he would definitely respond to his gaze the moment he looked over.
And so on.
These things were not sensational, but like water and air, too small, and often ignored. Xiao Qiong never mentioned it, and if Gu Xingmian hadn't paid special attention, he would never have noticed it.
This seemed to have become a habit for Xiao Qiong. Even though water and air had become necessities for Gu Xingmian, he never asked him for anything.
This realization made Gu Xingmian feel sweet and sour.
He silently moved closer to him and gently pulled Xiao Qiong's sleeve.
Xiao Qiong soon noticed the force. He paused, then opened his palm and took Gu Xingmian's hand in his palm.
This little action of the two in private did not alarm Gwen and others.
At this time, they had already reached the edge of the defense line.
It was a metal-cast wall, with countless translucent vines climbing on it, like transparent octopus legs, extending all the way to the sky, like a protective shield protecting the St. Roberts continent.
Gu Xingmian looked up curiously, but couldn't see the edge.
Seeing his curiosity, Gwen explained: "The wall below is made of 'forged wood', and these climbing on the forged wood are called..."
The defense line is composed of a variety of materials, all of which are provided by the temple. The military district has also thought about getting rid of the temple's control and copying the defense line materials by itself, but has worked hard for many years without any results.
Gwen knew that Gu Xingmian had special abilities, so he introduced it in detail, hoping that he could see something.
Unexpectedly, Gu Xingmian's expression did not change at all, he just looked like an ordinary visitor.
Gwen secretly sighed, but did not feel disappointed, but cheered up and led them through the special entrance and exit and walked out of the defense line.
Because of the influence of evil spirits, most of the equipment outside the defense line cannot be used, and only the oldest walkie-talkies can be used.
Therefore, before leaving the defense line, everyone took a walkie-talkie, and Gwen patiently told Xiao Qiong and Gu Xingmian the precautions outside the defense line, and everyone walked out.
Gu Xingmian followed them out with a worried look on his face. He thought he would see some terrible scene, but what appeared before his eyes was just a dense forest.
The dense vegetation formed a rich green color, which was set against the blue sky. The warm wind blew on the face, and the sound of wind blowing through the leaves came to the ears.
It was not scary at all, and it even had a clean and clear feeling that could only be found in cartoons.
Gu Xingmian was stunned.
Gwen noticed that he had stopped walking, turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
Gu Xingmian came to his senses and shook his head, "Nothing."
The beautiful scenery outside does not mean anything. The Amazon jungle is also beautiful, but it is full of dangers.
Gwen brought them out this time mainly to let them adapt to the environment outside the defense line, so they just walked around the defense line and did not plan to go too deep.
Gu Xingmian was a little worried at first, not knowing where the evil spirit would come from, but as time went on, he didn't encounter anything, and he gradually forgot about it, and actually felt a bit like an autumn outing.
At this time, a rock they passed by suddenly rose up, and countless stones attacked them.
But those stones didn't even touch Gu Xingmian, and he saw a guard throwing out the chain knife in his hand and smashing those stones to pieces.
At the same time, the flowers and plants around them seemed to be petrified suddenly, and the petrification even spread towards them, but no one present was panicked.
Even Gwen didn't make a move, and several guards had already cooperated with their God Cards to eliminate this A-level evil spirit.
At that moment, Gu Xingmian felt extremely safe.
But at this moment, Xiao Qiong and Gwen's faces changed at the same time. Xiao Qiong grabbed him, and the auxiliary card of the shield in his hand had been used, and he jumped to the side with him.
Gwen's movements were faster than him. He used several auxiliary cards in his hand at the speed of light to block the attack on him.
The guards around him also reacted quickly, and took out auxiliary cards one after another, and arranged a formation together with the God Card.
Gu Xingmian only saw an extremely fast shadow shuttling among them.
After a few screams, those guards who could easily defeat the A-level evil spirits with one against a hundred were unable to fight back under this shadow and fell one after another.
After shuttling back and forth a few times, half of the guards on the scene had already fallen, and Gu Xingmian didn't even know what was attacking them.
Gu Xingmian looked at Gwen anxiously, but saw that his expression was still as calm as usual.
The fallen bodyguard did not interfere with his judgment.
And the next moment, when the shadow attacked again, he suddenly moved, and the auxiliary cards in his hand kept appearing like magic, constantly attacking the shadow.
It's strange to say, although he didn't attack the shadow, the shadow that had always been invincible seemed to be disturbed, and its movements were much sluggish.
At the same time, a tiger roar sounded, shaking the mountains and forests.
Even Gu Xingmian, who was not attacked by the sound wave, felt his head "buzzing" as if it was shaken.
Then he saw a white tiger with wings falling from the sky and attacking the shadow.
"This, this is..."
Since the appearance of the white tiger, Gwen seemed to have become a helper. Countless auxiliary cards were issued, and the shadow finally revealed its true face.
Gu Xingmian looked at it intently, but he did not see any star pattern on the shadow.
The shadow was not an evil spirit! It was not a card of God either!
The white tiger had already approached the shadow, and with its huge tiger claws, it tore the shadow into pieces in an instant.
But the shadow was broken, and Gwen and Xiao Qiong's faces did not improve.
Sure enough, the next moment, several identical shadows slowly appeared behind the trees.
Gu Xingmian: "!!!"
The shadow just now was so difficult to deal with, and now there are so many, isn't this fatal? !
A bodyguard also realized it, and hurriedly picked up the walkie-talkie to ask for help from the defense line.
Fortunately, they did not go deep into the cave. From their current position, they could still hear him calling for help.
But as soon as he turned on the intercom, a shadow rushed over. In the blink of an eye, the shadow had already rushed to him.
The guard had already taken out the auxiliary card, but his speed was not as fast as the shadow. He was about to be chopped off his arm by the shadow, but at this moment, heavy armor appeared on his arm and blocked the attack for him.
Gwen and his God Card had already attacked the shadows in the sky.
Although the shadow was very fast, its speed seemed to be ineffective in front of Gwen. Soon, two more shadows were torn apart by the white tiger.
But Xiao Qiong and Gu Xingmian could see clearly that those shadows seemed endless. No matter how powerful Gwen was, his mental strength was limited and he would be swallowed up by these shadows sooner or later.
Although these shadows were targeting Gwen and did not attack Xiao Qiong and Gu Xingmian, they did not stand idly by.
Who knows if the shadows intend to defeat them one by one, and deal with Gwen first, and then deal with them.
The tacit understanding between Gu Xingmian and Xiao Qiong has been slowly cultivated through repeated battles and their daily inseparable lives.
The two of them just looked at each other, and Xiao Qiong had already taken out the auxiliary cards. The two auxiliary cards were used by him almost at the same time, but in Gu Xingmian's hands, they turned into a group of quicksand ants and devoured those shadows.
Xiao Qiong had already taken out the wire rope and rushed towards the nearest shadow.
Their speed was already very fast, but it was nothing in front of these shadows.
However, Xiao Qiong was standing by and saw through Gwen and other guards' attacks on the shadows that when the shadows moved, they seemed to have no entity. If they were attacked directly, they would not be able to be attacked at all. The only effective attack was to block their route with skills or weapons in advance, as Gwen did. As long as they were forced to stop, they could be attacked.
However, the speed of these shadows was extremely astonishing. Although they had a certain regularity in their movements, this meant that they had to calculate the direction of movement of these shadows first, and then use skills to block them.
With the inhuman speed of the shadows, this was almost an impossible task.
Even those guards who were already the best among the card masters were powerless at this time.
The only one who could do this was Gwen.
But Gwen couldn't calculate their every landing point accurately, so he could only use multiple auxiliary cards to block multiple places.
This means that his mental power is being consumed at an extremely exaggerated rate.
Xiao Qiong soon realized this, and at the same time, he also took action.
The wire rope was like a poisonous snake emerging from the darkness, rushing towards its prey with precision.
The shadow seemed to be stuck suddenly, revealing its figure, but before it could get rid of it, it was climbed up by the swarm of quicksand ants under its feet and was instantly eaten clean.
Gu Xingmian can now control the skills of the auxiliary cards more finely, but even so, his speed could not keep up with the shadow.
After all, although the shadow was forced to reveal its whereabouts by Xiao Qiong, it was only for a very short moment, not even enough time to blink. Even if it was Gwen, it would be annoying enough, not to mention Gu Xingmian.
Therefore, Gu Xingmian did not insist on staring at the shadow, he just followed Xiao Qiong's actions.
He had enough confidence in Xiao Qiong and knew that he could definitely stop the shadow, so he just had to follow Xiao Qiong's direction.
And Xiao Qiong had the same confidence in Gu Xingmian.
The cooperation between the two was as smooth as cutting butter.
Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, it was as if Xiao Qiong directly drove the shadow into Gu Xingmian's skills.
Although Gwen was in the fierce battle, she also saw this scene and was stunned for a moment.
He watched the four-school league match, so he knew that Xiao Qiong was much stronger than his peers. He had already raised his expectations for Xiao Qiong very high, but now it seems that he still underestimated Xiao Qiong.
He was able to catch these shadows because of his many years of combat experience, but even so, he still couldn't accurately lock the landing point of those shadows.
Xiao Qiong didn't think about it, and his attack was as natural and simple as breathing, but every time he attacked, he would not miss. The speed of the shadows seemed to be just a funny joke in his eyes.
This is definitely not something that can be done by experience or calculation!
Xiao Qiong has an extremely terrifying fighting talent!
In Gwen's experience, he has only seen one race with such a terrible talent.
With the help of Xiao Qiong and Gu Xingmian, Gwen's pressure was instantly reduced a lot, and the shadows that were originally covering the sky and the earth seemed to have decreased a lot.
But Gwen and others did not dare to relax at all, because as the shadows became fewer and fewer, the pressure of the battle became heavier.
At this moment, when Gwen was about to attack the shadow as usual, he suddenly felt a chill. His intuition from years of fighting on the battlefield sent him a signal of danger.
A seemingly ordinary long sword stabbed towards Gwen.
However, Gwen did not dare to underestimate it. He did not care about the shadow at all, and he instantly played out several defensive auxiliary cards.
But the ordinary sword stabbed lightly, and the defense in front of Gwen seemed as fragile as paper. The terrible force directly hit his chest, leaving him no chance to dodge. He directly hit the tree behind him and spit out blood.
The white tiger roared when he found something wrong and rushed over to protect Gwen.
Gwen didn't care about herself and shouted to the white tiger: "Cyril! Don't go!"
But it was too late. With the same ordinary long sword, the SSR card, which was known as the strongest in the entire Saint Roberts continent, was casually slashed with a long wound on its snow-white belly, and then fell heavily to the ground.
Just one sword.
The strongest Gwen and the double-winged white tiger on the scene were defeated.
Gu Xingmian's heart was in his throat.
There was only one sentence in his mind: Is this a human? !
This amazing attack almost broke the fighting spirit of all the guards.
Even Gwen, after realizing the gap between him and the sword's owner, almost resigned himself to his fate and closed his eyes.
But just as the sword was about to stab Gwen, a steel rope attacked from the side and wrapped around the blade.
Xiao Qiong raised his eyes. Although he had no expression on his face, the green in his dark pupils became more and more obvious.
He couldn't describe his feelings at the moment to outsiders. He only knew that he was full of fighting spirit in his heart. He had no fear or despair, but an urgent desire to fight the opponent.
The sword's owner was wrapped in black clothes, and his face was also wrapped tightly, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.
He seemed to be stunned for a moment after seeing Xiao Qiong's eyes full of fighting intent, and then he put away his sword and disappeared into the jungle in almost an instant.
Xiao Qiong: "???"
Others: "?!!!"
Everyone waited for a while and finally confirmed that the sword owner had really left.
Although they didn't know why he left, it was a life-saving opportunity for them. The two bodyguards who were still able to stand hurried over to help Gwen. Gwen waved his hands, stood up, came to the side of the white tiger, and took him back into his spiritual body.
The guards looked at the direction where the sword owner left in doubt: "General, he..."
Gwen's eyes swept over Xiao Qiong, paused, and then said: "He should be a temple knight."
Only the temple knights can do this.
Everyone: "!!!"
Xiao Qiong and Gu Xingmian looked at each other and thought of the temple knight who let them go in Central City.
