Chapter 625
Thinking of this, without waiting for Cui Lie to answer, Rong Xianxian waved her hand and said to Cui Lie, "Let's go and see what that person has in his hand."
Rong Xianxian motioned Cui Lie to stand up, and they quickly arrived at the place where the outsider died on the flying carpet. The outsider's body had been drained of blood and flesh by the dead blood tree, leaving only a shriveled corpse. Rong Xianxian fumbled around on the corpse for a while and found a space ring, a wooden space bracelet, and a storage bag.
"Alie, let's divide the things later. Now I have to go and release Gu Ming!" Rong Xianxian suddenly remembered that after she rescued Gu Ming just now, she used ice magic to protect him in order to prevent him from being harmed by the dead blood tree.
Rong Xianxian and Cui Lie came to the location of the huge rock. Gu Ming was trapped in a huge block of ice by Rong Xianxian. Rong Xianxian waved her hand to remove the power of ice. Gu Ming inside squatted on the ground with his arms hugged, shivering with cold.
"Captain Rong, if you don't let me out, I'm going to freeze to death!" Gu Mingdong's teeth kept chattering.
"How could that be? The temperature of the inner layer of ice is not that cold!" She controlled the temperature of the ice layer, otherwise, Gu Ming would have been frozen into an ice sculpture by now.
"Are those trees dead?" Gu Ming said with chattering teeth. He felt his tongue was still stiff.
"Run away!" Rong Xianxian replied.
"Run away? It's good that he ran away. Thank you Captain Rong for saving my life!" Gu Ming's tongue was much more flexible at this time.
Rong Xianxian found the bag in Academician Zhang's hand near the boulder. The bag seemed to be made of monster fur and was very strong. It was not damaged at all in the fierce fight just now.
"Gu Ming, there are only you and I left on the boulder just now. What do you think about what Gong Jiayao said?" Rong Xianxian asked him.
"Captain Rong, I know what you want to ask. Someone behind Gong Jiayao planned this. We are all pawns, and dead pawns at that. I also know what you want to do. But, I'm sorry to disappoint you, I won't say anything." Gu Ming lowered his head as if he was a little ashamed after he finished speaking.
"Captain Rong, you saved my life, and you can take it now. But I will not testify for you about what happened today. Please forgive me!" Gu Ming said in a firm tone. There was no hesitation in his words, and there was no room for easing.
"Why? Don't you hate being used as a pawn?" Rong Xianxian asked puzzledly.
"Of course I hate him, but what's the use of hating him? Someone who can do such a thing is definitely not someone we can shake. If I were alone, I would seek justice even at the risk of my life, but I am not that person. I cannot implicate other members of the Gu family." Gu Ming said earnestly.
Rong Xianxian smiled gently, "Okay, I know what you mean, take care of yourself!"
Gu Ming didn't dare to come forward to testify, but the person who planned this incident behind the scenes might not trust him.
Rong Xianxian and Cui Lie left here together and went to the military camp.
On the way, Rong Xianxian had many things to ask Cui Lie, such as what was going on with the giant dragon phantom that could be released from his body, whether he came here on his own, how come he came here at such a coincidence, and whether the giant dragon phantom in his body had any effect on his physical health?
Finally, when they were about to reach the camp, Rong Xianxian landed the flying carpet, put it away, and stared at Cui Lie, "Sister Rong, what's wrong?"
"Tell me the truth, how did you know someone wanted to harm me?" Rong Xianxian didn't believe that Cui Lie arrived by chance.
"It just so happens that I don't have any missions recently, so I was waiting to see you, so I've been asking about you. I happened to hear that someone transferred you here to do the mission, so I rushed here!" Cui Lie said calmly.
"How did you get such confidential information?" Rong Xianxian asked suspiciously. She still remembered that the name of the acting president was signed on the recruitment order.
"I went to Heishui Town and found Chen Lishu and his people, and then I knew it." Cui Lie originally planned to go to Heishui Town to find Rong Xianxian.
"Put your hand out." Rong Xianxian said.
Cui Lie obediently stretched out his hand, and Rong Xianxian raised her hand to take his pulse. His pulse was steady and strong, and his spiritual energy was flowing unobstructed. It seemed that there were no hidden dangers in Cui Lie's body.
Moreover, Cui Lie's realm at this time is at the peak of the Blood Refining Realm and he can be promoted at any time.
"Alie, what's with that giant dragon shadow you just released? It has no effect on your body, right?" Rong Xianxian asked with some concern.
"No, don't worry." Cui Lie answered briefly.
"Major General Cui, have you considered the consequences of coming to my jurisdiction to show off your power?" Captain Jiang saw them from a distance and shouted at them.
"Captain Jiang, please watch your tone. In terms of military rank, our major general is one level higher than you. You are committing insubordination by speaking like that. Have you considered the consequences?" Hua Yingmu immediately retorted.
"You can be proud of yourself for a while longer. I have already reported what Major General Cui did here to the military. Major General Cui, I'll wait and see how long you can continue to be so arrogant." Jiang Banxia sneered and turned away.
Rong Xianxian dodged and blocked his way. "Were you the one who gave the order to fire the artillery shells just now?"
"Click, click", as soon as Rong Xianxian moved, many guns were pointed at her.
Jiang Banxia waved his hand, and the soldiers around him immediately put away their guns.
"That's right. The range of the dead forest has expanded further. Our soldiers on the front line are trapped inside. The main roots of the dead blood trees are exposed. This is the best time to resolve the crisis. The problem can be solved with a few missiles, but Major General Cui used the seventh-level demon dragon armor. I'm waiting to see how Major General Cui will explain to the leaders of the military." There was a strong resentment on Jiang Banxia's expression.
He had tried to fuse the seventh-level demon dragon armor before, but failed. There were countless people who failed in fusion like him, but Cui Lie succeeded in fusing the seventh-level demon dragon armor.
Rong Xianxian learned from Captain Jiang that Cui Lie released the giant dragon phantom because he had fused the seventh-level demon dragon armor. This seventh-level dragon armor obviously cannot be moved rashly. If he used it rashly today, he would have violated military discipline and would probably have to bear serious consequences.
When Rong Xianxian thought about this, she looked at Cui Lie with a guilty look. She felt bad when she thought that Cui Lie might suffer because of what happened today.
"Sister Rong, don't be like this. I wasn't by your side when Gong Hanyu dealt with you before. Now someone else is trying to attack you this time. If I don't do anything again, how can I have the face to come back and see you in the future!" Cui Lie comforted her.
"Sister Rong, don't worry, I will be fine. It would be best if I were expelled from the army again, and then I would be back to join the team." Cui Lie said half-truthfully!
