Chapter 204 Walking
These two purifiers came from different backgrounds, one from a middle-class family and the other from a well-off family. Both had B-level talents, and although their husbands were of good status, they couldn't compare to Gu Qing.
Therefore, they dared to cause trouble with the bamboo slips because of their status as high-level purifiers, but now they dare not offend Gu Qing, which is one of the reasons why Gu Qing pursues higher levels.
After quickly organizing the team, Bo Chuan gave some instructions, and everyone boarded the flying vehicles and quickly left the camp, with the legion's flying vehicles leading and trailing behind.
According to the formation, their group was protected in the middle.
After the flying vehicle left the camp, it started being attacked by flying beasts after about an hour. After all, the nearby camps had been mostly cleared out, and the beasts weren't stupid; they knew better than to go near there again.
However, once outside a certain range, this deterrent effect diminishes, and waves of strange beasts, drawn by the energy of the flying vehicle, attack recklessly.
The surrounding trees grew taller and taller. The flying car's intelligent controller weaved through the trees while also dealing with the strange beasts and plants. After flying for just over an hour, it received a notification on the channel inside the flying car.
The bamboo slip instructed, "Everyone disembark from the flying vehicles. The rest of the journey will be on foot. All energy-powered weapons and vehicles should be put away."
"Everyone, maintain formation. If you encounter strange plants or beasts, do not panic. All purifiers and alchemists, use your spiritual forms and remain vigilant at all times. Do not shout or make a sound."
The real test was what followed. The bamboo slips were carefully explained as they were carried from one end to the other.
Lou Xiaoyu waved her hand to put away the flying car, and everyone took their positions. Then she moved to Gu Qing's side, and the others did the same, putting away their vehicles and taking out their weapons.
The spiritual beings suited to walking in the forest were also released, along with various birds and beasts, which intimidated the strange beasts as soon as they appeared.
Since it's not a rescue mission but a land reclamation mission, men don't use spiritual bodies. However, alchemists and purifiers, who are physically weak, need to ride in spiritual bodies, firstly to maintain their strength, and secondly to add an extra layer of protection.
Logically, Gu Qing should be riding in Lou Xiaoyu's spiritual body, but since her spiritual body is a mermaid and most of her people are also marine creatures, it is not suitable for them to ride in it.
Fortunately, Bo Chuan also sent a team, perhaps anticipating this outcome. The leaders, Qi Bai and Ma Ming, were a snake in spirit form and an elephant in spirit form.
As soon as the elephant appeared, Gu Qing glanced at it several times. Ma Ming's appearance was slightly more ordinary than Bo Chuan's, but he was tall and slender, and his expressionless demeanor was cold and aloof, which added to his handsome appearance.
But no one expected that his spiritual body would be such a behemoth.
"Want to ride an elephant?" Lou Xiaoyu's attention had been focused on her, so she noticed his curiosity and asked.
Gu Qing blinked and nodded when she heard the voice.
Lou Xiaoyu went straight to Ma Ming and said, "Shrink your spiritual body. If it's too big, it's easy to be attacked."
The first sentence was directed at Ma Ming, and the second sentence was an explanation to Gu Qing.
Ma Ming can talk to people he knows well, but he's completely silent with strangers. So when he heard Lou Xiaoyu's words, he just nodded.
But the elephant visibly shrank until it was the same size as the lion that Sun Mo was riding, before Lou Xiaoyu carried Gu Qing and put her on the elephant's back.
Just as he was about to get down, Ma Ming called out to him, "Chief Lou, why don't you sit up there with your sister-in-law? It will be easier to protect her that way."
Lou Xiaoyu raised an eyebrow upon hearing his words, then clasped her hands in a fist salute, "Then I won't refuse."
Unless in battle or injured, a fighter may not ride on another person's spirit body.
It was a shameful thing to carry other fighters on his own spiritual body, but since Ma Ming agreed, there was nothing more to say.
Gu Qing sat on the elephant and rubbed its skin with her hands. At that moment, a round, bluish-green snake head stretched out in front of her.
Gu Qing raised her hand and rubbed it against its nose, and it didn't resist. Hearing a sound coming from ahead, Gu Qing quickly sat up straight before continuing on her way.
But the rat snake wouldn't have it, and gently nudged Gu Qing with its head.
Gu Qing dodged, "Be good, go back quickly, we need to get going soon." She coaxed her gently.
But the cauliflower snake became even more anxious and touched her. Qi Bai suddenly climbed onto the snake's head and slapped it, saying, "Don't cause me any trouble. Qingqing wants to be an elephant. You can drag her around when there's time."
Only after he said that did everyone understand that the snake wanted Gu Qing to sit on its back. Despite Qi Bai's attempts to persuade it, the snake wouldn't listen and kept getting closer to Gu Qing.
Gu Qing quickly tried to persuade them, saying that they shouldn't delay the team's departure because of the two of them.
