Chapter 751 Layout
Four days passed in a flash.
Chen Chuan stood alone in front of the tent, looking into the distance. Chao Ming was circling in the sky.
At present, the insect quicksand shows no signs of stopping and is still rolling and surging on the earth. There is no end in sight at a glance. However, with the large creature below, this place has become a good protective barrier, allowing them to rest here safely.
This creature does not stay in one place all the time, but keeps moving. Its movements are rhythmic and coordinated, and when its abdomen crawls together, it gives people a sense of smooth wave-like movement.
And now it seems that the direction of movement is roughly the same as the road he came from.
According to what he knew, the insect quicksand would only last about six or seven days, so it would take two or three days at most to get rid of this environment.
In fact, he didn't mind staying here for a few more days. Because of the cover of the fallen objects' rosy glow, he had been practicing there day and night for the past four days, and most of the things outside were left to Xu Chan and the others.
After practicing without distraction for several days, he could feel that his spiritual power had made great progress in the past few days, and it seemed that he was only a step away from the true peak of perfection.
As he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt a slight shock in his heart, and he couldn't help but look in a certain direction. For some reason, he seemed to sense that there was some danger there.
That place...
It seemed that it was because of his unconscious high mental concentration that before he could observe anything, he suddenly sensed a strange feeling coming from the tent behind him, as if something there was announcing its presence.
An idea struck him, and he immediately lifted the curtain and returned to the tent. He looked at a bag hanging there. He walked over, fumbled around, and then took out a fruit that looked like a green tangerine.
This was what Xue Shu gave him before he entered the fusion land.
He never knew what this thing was. Xue Shou just told him to eat it when he felt it was right.
Is it the right time?
He thought about it, then peeled the "green tangerine" and ate it one by one, including the skin and flesh. At first, he didn't feel anything, but after eating the whole thing, he suddenly felt that his spirit seemed to be touched by something, as if his condition became extremely good.
He immediately came to the carpet and sat down, then fell into a feeling that was a bit like sitting on the stone lotus seat on Feiguang Island, feeling peaceful and comfortable.
After a long time, he suddenly felt something and opened his eyes, only to see Xue Shu sitting not far in front of him, looking at him with a smile, just like when he was teaching that day.
"Teacher Xue?"
However, he soon discovered that although Teacher Xue in front of him was real, there was no shadow on the ground, nor any warmth or reality. It was just an image existing in his own mind.
Xue Shu smiled.
"This little green fruit of mine can boost your spiritual strength, cleanse the impurities and filth within your spirit as you absorb the essence from the outer world, and repair and nourish your mind and body, making your subsequent path of cultivation smoother.
There is also a trace of my spirit in it. If my spirit senses that the time is coming in advance, or..."
He reached out and tapped Chen Chuan's chest. "Some kind of foreshadowing and warning signs have emerged within your mind, and it will prompt you to take it."
"Is it... a warning sign?"
Chen Chuan couldn't help but nod. At that moment, he did have a faint sense of danger, but he couldn't tell what it was.
Xue Shou looked at the lost item he had placed on a shelf nearby and said, "From your looks, you should have already gotten this lost item."
Chen Chuan said, "Yes, we are currently trapped by the worm quicksand. I intend to take this item back once it subsides. However, this relic is different from what I know. It is constantly emitting rays of light, making it very conspicuous."
"Of course it's conspicuous." Xue Shou said with a smile, "Because we originally put this thing here."
"Um?"
Chen Chuan couldn't help but look at him, feeling very surprised. He looked at the lost items again, and thinking of the "we" that Xue Shu said, he quickly reacted.
"Is this a decoy?"
Xue Shou nodded and gave him an affirmative answer: "Yes, this is a bait."
Chen Chuan's eyes moved slightly. For someone at Xue Shu's level, the bait would definitely not target the Union or the Linax Federation representative team.
He looked up and asked, "Teacher Xue, I wonder if the target is...?"
Xue Shou stood up from the ground, walked to the entrance of the tent, looked outside and said: "Our target is the general of the old imperial family who is stationed at the intersection of Jibei Road, Wei Guochan.
A third-level relic appeared deep in the fusion area, and close to the old imperial power's territory. They will definitely not give up. If the people below are unable to succeed, then this general who has been facing us for many years will most likely come forward personally.
Chen Chuan also stood up and asked, "Doesn't he care about the fighters guarding here?"
Xue Shou said: "Because in the past we only had one fighter in Jibeidao Intersection, that is your principal Yao Zhiyi, and he has been protecting the station in the past and has almost no record of taking the initiative to attack. Even if he left the station, because there is only one person, the threat to him is not great.
But what he doesn't know is that a fighter we previously sent to guard the World Ring has secretly returned. This fighter will be responsible for intercepting and killing that person together with Principal Yao.
And just to be on the safe side, I will also enter the fusion area at the appropriate time to prepare for possible variables.
Now that the World Ring has not been repaired, the old imperial family would never think that our fighters stationed there would return early. After all, no one came back even when the Mother Shrimp split. Although I have arrived in the central city this time, they will only think that I have come to deal with the fighter who stayed in the central city from the Federation.
In this battle, we will do everything we can to surround and kill this man. Once Wei Guochan is dead, the tens of thousands of troops on the front lines of the old imperial family will be left without support. We will immediately counterattack and try to annihilate this force before the old imperial family can provide reinforcements. If successful, it will achieve a decisive breakthrough in the situation at the intersection of Jibei Road and Rongluo.
Chen Chuan had not expected that things would turn out like this, and the battle between several fighters, this scene was enough to make one's heart race just thinking about it.
Just then, he thought of a question, so he asked, "Teacher Xue, do the Jibei Dao Government Affairs Office and the Ministry of Defense know about this?"
Xue Shu looked at him and said, "I know what you want to ask. I can tell you clearly that this matter involves many confidential information. In Jibei Dao, whether it is the Government Affairs Office, the Ministry of Defense, the Processing Bureau, or the General Affairs Bureau, they all don't know about this matter in advance. They will only be officially notified when we take action.
In order to ensure the authenticity and feasibility in advance, Jibei Road sent out a group of people to fight for the lost items, and they were prepared to be sacrificed.
You need to know that what needs to be considered above is not the loss in certain places, but how to exchange less for more. As long as the exchange ratio is beneficial to the overall situation, the above will be promoted.
This is war.”
He took a breath and continued, "But I understand that among those who sacrificed their lives there may be your comrades and your friends, so you may not be able to accept it, and I understand that.
When I learned you had captured Han Fu, based on my understanding of you, I knew your next move would be to proactively enter the fusion zone to meet them. The outcome would then be unpredictable."
Chen Chuan thought about the time when Xue Shu chose to meet him, which was right after he captured Director Han. He said, "So Teacher Xue gave me that green fruit?"
Xue Shou nodded. "This is the only thing I can do outside of the plan, but the prerequisite is that your spirit is strong enough to bear my minimum spiritual power. Now it seems..." He looked at Chen Chuan and said with a smile, "You have achieved it."
He looked outside again and saw people coming in and out of the tents opposite.
"Those are the comrades who entered the fusion area, right? It seems you have met them."
A relieved smile appeared on his face, but there was also a hint of indescribable melancholy.
Chen Chuan looked outside. What Teacher Xue had said was cruel, but also very realistic. Often, every game or decision made by the upper echelons involves sacrifice. Most of the time, the upper echelons consider the overall situation, not specific individuals, and are unable to consider them.
Ordinary people in the situation can only be swept away by the tide and cannot make any waves. If he doesn't come this time, then Lao Xu and the others will definitely be sacrificed.
If the sacrifice of dozens of people can bring about an overall strategic advantage, no leader will refuse.
Unless an individual's power is strong enough and weighty enough to become an important weight in the overall strategy.
Xue Shou turned around and asked, "By the way, how did you plan to take the things back?"
Chen Chuanshuo said: "My original plan was to carry this thing by myself and run back to the nearest camp as quickly as possible. Because the glow of the leftover object can allow people to move at night, I can maintain a certain level of physical strength to run day and night. If I am fast, I can return to the camp within two days and two nights.
I'm just concerned that, since the glow doesn't seem to dissipate, it clearly indicates the direction. So, on my way back, the old imperial family might try to block my dive based on the direction I'm taking.
Xue Shou said, "Your consideration is correct. According to our previous deduction, no matter who obtains the remains, the old imperial family will definitely dispatch troops. It will inevitably be difficult to break out in one go."
Chen Chuan nodded. A large army is not so easy to deal with. After determining the position, you can cover the bombardment with artillery fire, use airships to find machine guns to fire, or even use countless alien creatures to besiege them.
Xue Shou said, "It was originally estimated that the area above would fall into the hands of the Linax Federation and the Union. Then they would push outward. With their strength, it would not be difficult to break out. By then, Wei Guochan would appear. But now..." He looked at Chen Chuan, "This situation may have to be faced by you."
