At this time, when the Sweeper Alliance was defeated, the arrival of the Holy Temple as the savior and the coalition forces greatly boosted the morale of the people. The first goal of the Holy Temple was quickly achieved, and a forward base was established directly in the depths of Loran.

At the same time, the Temple learned the lesson from the Sweepers Alliance and claimed that people could join its Temple Alliance, but there was only one principle, which was to obey the Temple's deployment, otherwise they would be on their own.

Under such prerequisites, although large organizations such as the Violent Hunting Group would certainly not be left behind and would not join, some medium-sized organizations that were severely injured but unwilling to retreat chose to join the Temple Alliance. After all, the Temple did not have too many treatment methods and the logistics were guaranteed, so it was not shameful to submit to the Temple. The previous disastrous defeat also proved one thing, that is, there can only be one leader.

Therefore, with this great defeat as a foundation, the strength of the Templar Alliance also expanded by at least one-half. At the same time, Pope Milo also convened a roundtable meeting, inviting the leaders of those organizations/unions that would definitely not join the Templar Alliance, and proposed an alliance cooperation model, which was to divide the Wailing Cave area into several parts, with each organization responsible for an area to launch an attack on the Zero Organization, while helping each other.

If the area cannot be divided into regions, the order of attack is determined by date. For example, the Templar Alliance attacks on the first day, the Violent Hunting Group attacks on the second day, and the Royal Knights attack on the third day...

If it was before the disastrous defeat, the arrogant guys in the Sweeper Alliance might not have listened to them, but in terms of treatment, they all owed the Holy Temple a lot of favors. At this time, the Holy Temple's proposal sounded quite pertinent and they felt it was acceptable.

It was in such an environment that Du Yuqi came to the Temple and asked to go to the Wailing Cave for exploration with their advance team. There was no doubt that Du Yuqi, as a versatile player who could both fight and heal, would be very popular. The tactics formulated by the Temple this time were to focus on reconnaissance first, so despite the heavy rain, Du Yuqi followed a team from the depths of Loran and headed directly to the outer area of ​​the Wailing Cave.

Because of the previous management by the Sweeper Alliance, the roads in this area are still relatively intact. Even in the heavy rain, you can often see the bodies of dead professionals on the roadside. The exposed skin has been washed white by the rain, and no one knows whether they have been bitten by wild beasts, but they look very miserable.

As they were moving forward, Du Yuqi suddenly discovered that there were a series of earth mounds on the grass slope ahead, like new graves, and his companions were approaching. Seeing this, Du Yuqi's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered the past, and immediately shouted:

"careful!"

It was raining heavily at the time. When Du Yuqi's shout was transmitted through the wind and rain, it was already fragmented and shaky. The man heard Du Yuqi's shout, frowned and turned back and said:

"ah?"

But at the moment when he was distracted, the mound of earth next to him suddenly exploded, and out jumped a giant black-brown insect with a mouthparts like a spear, sharp spikes and scales on its body. It was more than five meters long and extremely oppressive!

Even though the gunman named Johnny immediately kicked, intercepted in mid-air, and then threw a grenade - this series of actions was as smooth as the standard textbook version of a roaming gunman, but it was useless. The horrible monster insect actually had a domineering body and bit Johnny's right leg and threw him away.

Johnny landed in the core area of ​​several other earth mounds. He crouched down as soon as he landed, but the other earth mounds also exploded one after another, and other strange insects of varying sizes jumped out from them, attacking him frantically...

"Kill the insect!"

When Du Yuqi saw this scene, how could he forget that when he first entered the Arad continent, he encountered a seriously injured killing insect here and luckily killed it. Now when he revisited the old place, he was filled with emotion.

At this time, the rest of the people naturally shouted and rushed to rescue, but it was raining heavily at this time, and most of those who were selected to form the reconnaissance team were flexible and agile professions such as sharpshooters. Johnny's strength was not weak, but facing a group of wolf-like and ferocious killing insects, it was also quite dangerous.

At this time, Du Yuqi was feeling emotional, but he did not stop at all and rushed forward to save people. It was fortunate that he was wearing a light armor like the Seven Wounds Sword Qi Suit. If he was wearing a set of plate armor with extremely strong defense as before, he would have been stuck in the mud and had difficulty walking, let alone saving people.

After Du Yuqi rushed forward seven or eight steps, he directly combined his body with the sword and rushed out with a fierce dragon slash! The fierce dragon slash performed by the other sword spirits gave people a feeling of lightness and swiftness, as well as a sense of elegance.

But Du Yuqi used Kahn's power to control the Dragon Slash, and it was like a high-speed train running at full speed, swift and powerful, roaring with unprecedented domineering power, as if no matter what was blocking his way, it would be bitten in two by this mad dragon crossing the river!

The first thing that stood in front of Du Yuqi was the armored Lu Gu insect. This monster seemed to be the direct descendant of the insect king Lu Gu. It was extremely ferocious and rushed straight towards Du Yuqi without fear.

If time could be reversed and it was when Du Yuqi first entered the Arad Continent, even its descendants could easily kill Du Yuqi, but at this time its behavior could only be described in four words, that is, a mantis trying to stop a chariot! It directly collided with Du Yuqi's shadowless sword, and immediately let out a shrill cry and flew out.

When it landed on the ground, the giant insect broke two or three trees in succession. As it rolled, it looked as soft and boneless as noodles, with a large amount of flesh and internal organs flowing out of its mouthparts. It was obviously killed by Du Yuqi's fierce dragon attack.

However, this guy's sacrifice was not without cost. It also caused Du Yuqi's forward rush to stop, and the fierce dragon's sky-breaking slash was also interrupted. However, Du Yuqi immediately slashed forward with his sword again, and the whole person rushed out again!

This time he used the Pojun Shenglong Ji, and once again charged forward with great force. Wherever he passed, a large amount of mud and water splashed out to both sides. The sword energy mixed with the water splashes formed the illusion of an angry dragon with its mouth open and roaring. Wherever he passed, he knocked away the Lu Gu insects that blocked his way. With the last swing of the sword, he chopped the Lu Gu insect that was holding Johnny and trying to drag him underground, causing it to roll and fly out. Johnny was finally rescued.

As Du Yuqi charged forward, the gunmen on his team behind him opened fire at full force, killing these terrifying giant insects one by one.

Looking at Johnny again, although his injuries were very serious and his right leg was bitten off, he was finally saved. Even after taking the alchemy potion, his injuries made it unsuitable for him to fight again, so he was sent to the rear. Before leaving, he kept thanking Du Yuqi profusely.

…

After walking for another three or four hours, the rain became much lighter. Du Yuqi walked to the top of a hill and looked out. Suddenly, he saw a familiar scene. Then, as if a switch had been turned on, everything in his memory suddenly surged out...

Yes, that stream, that forest, Instructor Golas, Black Axe, and even the valley where I first met the clown!

For a moment, all the confusing memories of his first arrival in Arad seemed to come back to his mind. He took a deep breath, then half-knelt in the muddy water, and pressed his palms deeply to his heart. At this time, Du Yuqi couldn't help but miss the innocent boy before entering the Arad continent, but he knew that some things, once gone, would never come back.

Just like youth.

Just as simple.

As innocent as ever.

By the time he stood up, the nostalgic look in his eyes had faded, replaced by shrewdness.

The sound of footsteps was heard in the distance, and soon, the scattered investigators came to report one after another, but of course, they found nothing.

Du Yuqi pondered for a while, then pointed to the misty valley and said:

"As far as I know, the Zero Organization developed the Wailing Cave very early. I suspect that the mutated Terra Stone they first obtained was the mutated Terra Stone of Apostle Hellok. They even paid a huge price for it. That valley should be a base that the Zero Organization first developed."

The valley that Du Yuqi was pointing to was the place where the Joker drilled out from underground on a giant drilling rig. Du Yuqi had a vague intuition that if the Zero Organization were to make a comeback here, they would use this place as their first breakthrough point.
