Everyone's eyes shifted back and forth between Dao Yuan, Xia He and the others, their eyes filled with confusion and shock.
Seeing this, Bai Zhe snorted coldly, glanced at everyone, and then announced loudly:
"Before the official peak selection begins, no one is allowed to enter the mountain without permission! If anyone disobeys the order and encounters a monster beast, resulting in the death of a soldier, the general will be held fully responsible and will be immediately disqualified from the peak selection!"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the camp.
In the past two days, many people have indeed gone into the mountains to find out the situation, but most of them have gained nothing.
Chen Yuan, who was standing nearby, turned pale instantly after hearing this.
It’s okay to enter the mountain on my own, but the key is that so many people have died, and it’s probably hopeless to select the peak this time.
Just then, Yunzhou garrison commander Yun Feng came over with several personal guards.
He is tall and strong, with a dignified face and sharp eyes.
Seeing the sword ape being escorted, he frowned and asked in a deep voice: "What's going on?"
Bai Zhe immediately stepped forward and answered in a neither humble nor arrogant manner:
"No problem, someone entered the mountain without permission and encountered this group of monsters. Fortunately, this guy killed the leader of the knife ape and sent someone to report in time, thus avoiding greater losses."
As he said this, he pointed at Xia He who was standing nearby.
Upon hearing this, Yunfeng turned his gaze to Xia He, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
He looked Xia He up and down, then announced in front of everyone with a smile:
"That's right, Xia He. I will record this matter in your final assessment results, and I will also report it to Supervisor Li in person."
When Xia He heard this, he couldn't help but touch his nose, a helpless smile appearing on his face.
He didn't want to make it too ostentatious, but he didn't expect things to become so serious.
As soon as Yunfeng finished speaking, there was a sound of people gasping for air in the camp.
"Reporting to Commander Li in person? That puts him ahead of us."
"Xia He? Could it be the Xia He from Liangzhou? Isn't it said that his reputation is mostly exaggerated? How can he be so powerful?"
"Why don't I have such good luck..."
"Nonsense! If you encounter this group of monsters, you can only run away!"
Amid the discussions among the crowd, Zhao Meng's face instantly turned ashen.
He stared at Xia He, his fists clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound, his heart burning with anger:
"This kid hasn't been seen for two days, and he's making such a big fuss again? Why?!"
At the same time, he also regretted deeply. If he had entered the mountain earlier, perhaps this credit would have been his.
The other martial arts geniuses who had not noticed Xia He originally began to re-examine him.
Including Tie Zhan, who was born with a diamond body, and Liu Rushuang, the ghostwriter from the capital.
Li Wu came over with a smile on his face, and pretended to be generous and bowed to Xia He to congratulate him:
"Congratulations, Brother Xia, you have made another achievement! It seems that Brother Xia is determined to win this time?"
This statement may seem like a compliment, but in fact it is a hidden sharpness. It is obvious that he wants everyone to focus their attention on Xia He so that they can target him when selecting the peak.
Xia He heard this, smiled slightly, and responded calmly:
"Brother Li, you are too kind. This time, we were able to kill the knife ape leader thanks to the help of brother Shan Xiong. He is a disciple of Li Dushi, so killing a group of knife apes is just a piece of cake for him."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes immediately turned to Shan Xiong, and they suddenly realized what was going on.
That’s right, isn’t this reasonable?
"I?"
Shan Xiong was originally still confused by Xia He's words, but suddenly he met these admiring gazes and his face flushed.
He felt ashamed and annoyed. After all, he was careless and was chopped away by the sword ape. Although he was not injured, Xia He, Chen Yuan and others saw it with their own eyes. It was really embarrassing.
No matter how slow-witted Shan Xiong was, he realized at this moment that he was being used as a shield by Xia He.
He couldn't help but glared at Xia He fiercely, but did not expose him. He just muttered in a low voice:
"Xia He, you are so insidious..."
Seeing this, Xia He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, but whispered,
"Brother Shan, please block it for me. I'll buy you a drink when I'm free. How about that?"
Shan Xiong's expression eased a lot, and he gritted his teeth and said,
"I want to go to Zui Xiang Lou and drink the best Nv'erhong, the kind that costs 18 taels of silver per jar!"
Xia He's mouth twitched.
"The lion is opening his mouth too wide, isn't he?"
"OK!"
"I want to drink ten jars!"
"With your alcohol tolerance..."
…
The two of them were quite noisy.
"Xia He, Chen Yuan, follow me."
