Chapter 222 Independent War Group
"Wait a minute." Mo Luoning suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Check their cultivation. If they have reached the Qi Condensation Stage, then take them away."
The messenger was stunned, then looked at Bai Yucheng.
Bai Yucheng shouted, "Didn't you hear what Fairy Mo said? If you did, get out of here!"
"Yes, yes, I'll leave right away!" He turned around, feeling very dissatisfied, "Isn't it just because I have a good father? What a bullshit!"
"Why do they suddenly need to add more people?" Bai Yucheng asked curiously, "Didn't they say that 500 people who can condense Qi would be enough?"
Mo Luo Ning lowered her head and fiddled with her hair, then said calmly, "This thing may not succeed at once. It's better to have one more person to be prepared than to be short of one person when the time comes."
Bai Yucheng thought about it and agreed, but when he thought about the final measures, one more person would mean one more trouble, and it would be bad if the news leaked out. Bai Yucheng hesitated for a moment and said, "But it will be difficult to deal with if there are too many people."
Mo Luoning squinted at Bai Yucheng, "Could it be that the young master of Bei'e Mountain can't even handle such a small matter?"
Bai Yucheng smiled awkwardly, then said: "Since Fairy Mo is willing to let me do it, I am relieved. Because I heard that Fairy Mo is kind-hearted, I am afraid that what I do will bring unhappiness to Fairy Mo, so..."
Mo Luoning glanced at him and said calmly, "Just do what you have to do. Don't worry about me. My thoughts are insignificant anyway. Why worry about me?" Everything I do now is based on my unwillingness. In this case, why bother pretending to be nice? Mo Luoning sneered in his heart. I don't care about what my uncle is doing with Bei'e. I only care about the life and death of my father and mother. I hope my uncle can really keep his promise!
At the same time, she thought of her brother. Thinking of him, Mo Luoning couldn't help but smile. It was a smile from the heart, like a blooming crabapple, so beautiful.
Bai Yucheng was stunned for a moment, but he knew in his heart that this smile was not for him. Following her gaze, Bai Yucheng was startled. Aren't the people she was looking at the two people who just joined the group?
Two men! One looks okay, but he is very masculine and indeed quite attractive to women. The other has a slicked-back face and is extremely handsome, but too effeminate. Although handsome, Fairy Mo probably wouldn't like this kind of guy.
So Fairy Mo was smiling at someone else? The person Bai Yucheng was referring to was Shi Yan.
In fact, Mo Luoning was just staring ahead in a daze.
Shi Yan didn't know that because of Mo Luo Ning's unintentional smile, he was remembered by others for no reason, which was not a good thing. However, even if he knew, he would just laugh it off and not care at all. He had long been accustomed to making enemies everywhere in Zimu Liuhua Territory. For him, too many lice don't itch, so what difference does it make to have one more louse or one less louse?
The team agreed to let Shi Yan and Long Er join, the reason was very simple, both of them were already Qi Condensation cultivators. What surprised Shi Yan was that Long Er was also a Qi Condensation cultivator. Looking at her frail appearance, she didn't look like a Qi Condensation cultivator at all. He secretly thought that he had really misjudged her, and it really proved the old saying that you can't judge a person by his appearance, and you can't measure the depth of the sea by a bucket.
The large group set off, heading towards the dragon cave in a mighty manner.
"Brother, are you new here?" A hoarse voice sounded beside my ear. I glanced out of the corner of my eye and saw a big hand patting me gently from behind.
Shi Yan habitually jumped forward to avoid the slap, then turned around and looked behind him, only to see seven men in black with cold expressions standing in a row behind me. The tall man with a square face and a broad nose in the lead was the one who had just spoken.
"Who are you?"
"We were recruited into the team just like you." The man walked a few steps closer and said softly, "Let me introduce myself first. I'm the boss of this group, Qian Da."
Then he turned sideways, pointed at the people behind him and said one by one: "These are my brothers. The second brother, Qian Er; the third brother, Qian San... the seventh brother, Qian Qi!"
Qian Da is Qian Qi, my goodness, are his parents obsessed with money? Long Er couldn't help but laugh behind Shi Yan's back, this name is really funny.
Looking at their battle-hardened appearance, Shi Yan wondered in his heart: They look quite stylish, why did they have such tasteless names? Well, this must be the truth that one cannot judge a book by its cover. Just by hearing the names, who would have thought that these guys are so murderous?
"My name is Xu Yan, and this is my younger brother, Xu Long." Shi Yan gave a fake name.
Qian Da stood next to Shi Yan, and Qian Er to Qian Qiqi stood around them, surrounding the three of them.
Seeing Shi Yan's alert posture, he quickly said, "Don't worry, Brother Xu. We have no ill intentions. We just don't want anyone to overhear our conversation."
"Hmm?" Shi Yan was stunned for a moment, then rubbed his hands and made a gesture of invitation.
Finally they entered the cave, the light suddenly dimmed, and the people who had been prepared for a long time quickly lit torches. Bai Yucheng smiled slightly, opened his hand and raised it, and three small fireballs flew around him and Mo Luoning like little fire fairies. Mo Luoning simply ignored Bai Yucheng's show.
Qian Da leaned forward and said, "Did you see that man? He is the young master of Bei'e Mountain, and the leader of the group we are joining now."
"Beie Mountain? The largest sect in the northern border?" Shi Yan was secretly shocked, and at the same time wondered what these second-generation rich men who were not afraid of death would do by entering the Dragon Cave.
"Most of us who joined the team just want to borrow Bei'e's power, and Bei'e does the same." Qian Da continued: "So everyone has a conflict of interest, but several teams have already made an agreement. If there is a problem, we will join forces to screw these Bei'e guys!"
"Tricked?" Shi Yan was quite interested in this new word.
"That's right, it's a trap! Bei'e is using us as pawns, and we will use them as pawns in return. It will be dangerous for you to go it alone, so I advise you to join our team!" Qian Da pointed at the people around him confidently, "Among the seven of us brothers, the worst one has already reached the third level of Qi Condensation, and I'm already at the fifth level of Qi Condensation, which is the level of Little Golden Elixir. Among these teams that are generally at the second or third level of Qi Condensation, we can be considered strong. And now we have gathered fifty people, how about it, is Brother Xu interested?"
Shi Yan thought about it and realized that he joined the team in order to use the team's combat effectiveness to easily break through the defense of the spirit beast, and then find an opportunity to break in and look for the queen insect.
Maybe it would be easier if we had the "help" of these people at that time.
Shi Yan smiled secretly and nodded, "Then let's listen to Boss Qian."
"Haha, right!" Qian Da laughed, "Brother Xu, right? Now you are one of us. You must put the interests of the team as your primary goal."
"I understand." Shi Yan nodded.
Suddenly, a shout came from the team, "Everyone be careful, after passing the bend ahead is where the first wave of spirit beasts gather. Everyone, be alert and pay attention to the command!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the team began to operate in an orderly manner. It seemed that although many lone monks had joined, they had also undergone many times of coordination training. Looking at the order, ordinary teams really couldn't do it.
A group of tall guys rushed to the front and summoned a group of huge spirit beasts.
Hey, all of them are shield-horned rhinos. Shield-horned rhinos are second-grade spirit beasts, with dark gray skin, a body up to three meters, and a huge shield-like rhinoceros horn on the tip of their nose. This is a shield-horned rhinoceros. Shield-horned rhinos are famous for their defense. The shield horns of adult shield-horned rhinos are indestructible. When shield-horned rhinos reach the Qi Refining Stage, they will have a natural skill called [Tempering], which is to temper the skin and shield horns with metal, increasing their defense capabilities by 50%.
Therefore, in general team battles, the Shield-Horned Rhino is responsible for guarding during defense.
A smell of decay was mixed in the cold air. Broken bones and disabled bodies with missing limbs were everywhere on the ground. The dark blue walls were smeared with messy dark red bloodstains. Sharp claw marks of varying depths could be seen everywhere. They were probably left by previous groups of explorers.
"Be careful, there's a four-clawed python behind this corner."
A strong smell of blood filled the depths of the cave, and the chewing sounds became louder and louder. The four-clawed python was gnawing on the corpse with great pleasure.
The team approached cautiously, and the guy in the front row swallowed nervously and tightened the weapon in his hand.
Shi Yan looked at Long Er and said, "Long Er, follow me closely. I will protect you."
Long Er smiled sweetly and nodded.
Shi Yan habitually forgot the fact that Long Er was also a Qi Condensation Stage cultivator, and protected her firmly behind him.
Qian Da, who was standing beside him, laughed and said, "You two brothers have a very good relationship."
Shi Yan smiled and replied, "He is my only brother, so as the eldest brother, I naturally have to protect him."
Qian Da patted Shi Yan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Xu Xiaobrother is right. As the eldest brother, you naturally have to take care of your younger brothers. You are very much my cup of tea. How about it? Are you interested in joining my team?"
Shi Yan was surprised, "Didn't I already join?"
Qian Da shook his head and said, "I'm not talking about now, but after we get out. I'm the leader of the Tianyang Regiment in Tianyang Mountain in the Northern Territory. I have no more, no less, 150 men under my command, and we're all as close as brothers. I wonder if Brother Xu is interested?"
Shi Yan was stunned. He didn't expect that Qian Da was actually the leader of an independent regiment.
Not everyone is willing to join a sect, such as some independent cultivators.
However, independent cultivators and independent battle groups are different. An independent cultivator is a single person, which can be seen from the literal meaning; while an independent battle group is a combat team organized by people who are mostly good friends and gather together. For example, Shi Yan's team is actually similar to an independent battle group. Independent battle groups are more relaxed than sects, but the internal cohesion is incomparable to sects.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted from the front, "Here they come!"
