Chapter 118: Return from the end, first contact
It was good news that Luo Fei's injury was no longer serious, but it was already getting late, so Chen Chu chatted with her for a while and left the hospital.
Driving back to the base a few kilometers away, Chen Chu just got out of the car and met an acquaintance.
A few meters away, I saw An Fuqing, a tall man wearing a black and red battle armor without a helmet, getting off the modified off-road vehicle that had just been parked.
When Chen Chu saw her, the girl also noticed him. After a slight pause, she nodded and said, "Chen Chu, I remember you, but you went to Lestru City."
There are nearly fifty classes in the first grade of Nantianwu High School. The two of them are not in the same class. An Fuqing's impression of Chen Chu is still ranked 49th in the freshman ranking competition.
After all, she was the only freshman who reached the top fifty with low-level skills. She was a little surprised when she heard her classmates talk about it.
Chen Chu had a smile on his face: "I didn't expect to meet classmate An here. Have you just returned from a mission?"
"Yes, I am tracking an early fourth-level fanatic of the Titan Cult outside." An Fuqing's personality is a bit light, but not as cold as expected.
As they spoke, the two walked side by side towards the base building.
"I saw it in the trial group in the morning. Yi Rui said that you came from Lestru yesterday and found and killed the fourth-level blood envoy in the evening."
The girl turned her head slightly, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes: "Can you tell me how you found that person?"
After Lin Xue's team was attacked, many people searched the city the next day, and she was planning to come back to see if she could find the blood user.
Not to mention that everyone is from the same school, the 30 contribution points alone have attracted many people’s interest.
It’s just that the man’s ability to hide was very strong, and no one found any trace of him all day long, so everyone thought that the blood envoy had escaped from Kelya.
Chen Chu thought for a while: "It has something to do with my skills. I have cultivated a state called the mind's eye. I can keenly sense the hostile and malicious sights around me."
“After speculating that the blood envoy might be hiding around the hospital, I deliberately walked around the hospital, and the special warrior’s armor really caught his attention.”
“Through my sight, I reversely located his position, and then it was easy.”
An Zheqing moved his steps and suddenly turned his head to look at Chen Chu. His eyes were sharp, and there was a faint sense of terrifying sword intent flowing in them: "The realm of the mind's eye! That skill called the mind's eye and the bright sword?"
“Is this technique so famous?” Chen Chu was a little surprised by her reaction.
"certainly."
The terrifying sword intent in An Fuqing's eyes slowly converged: "Although this technique is low-level, it became famous more than ten years ago because of a man named Xiao Tianyi."
“It’s a pity that it was too difficult to practice, and gradually no one paid attention to it. I didn’t expect you, Mr. Chen, to practice it to the third level where you can lock the opponent’s position through the enemy’s line of sight.”
Chen Chu said modestly: "No, it's just a fluke."
An Fuqing shook his head: "This is not a fluke. You can cultivate your mind's eye to the third level, which shows that you have a high understanding of the techniques involving the heart and mind."
“I didn’t expect Classmate An to know so much about the Heart’s Eye and the Bright Sword.”
“Because I have redeemed it before, but unfortunately this technique does not suit me.”
While talking, the two of them came under the base building. Because An Fuqing had to hand over the task, Chen Chu continued to walk towards the back of the restaurant.
After entering the base, trial students wearing armors could be seen everywhere on the road, which made Chen Chu in military uniform more conspicuous.
There is no way, his armor is seriously damaged and is still being repaired.
“Achu, here.”
Chen Chu finished his meal in the restaurant, and Xia Youhui, who had returned from a distance, waved to him. Next to him sat Liu Feng, Li Meng and Bai Mu, who had been discharged from the hospital in the morning.
These guys have the best relationship now, and they go on missions together.
Chen Chu walked over and sat down, and asked casually: "How is it? Did you gain anything from going out today?"
“Don’t mention it.”
Liu Feng complained: "An ordinary task of tracking a cultist requires seven or eight people to fight for it. It was only when we arrived at the small town that we found out that the news was wrong."
Li Meng nodded: "Forget it if the news is wrong, those guys still didn't give up. They almost tore through the town in the whole day before leaving."
“…Including you.” Chen Chu suppressed a smile.
“Ahem! Where.”
Bai Mu coughed dryly and covered it up: "We just thought the scenery around that town was pretty good, so we just spent a long time admiring it there."
At this time, Xia Youhui suddenly said: "By the way, Achu, have you read the news about Daqun?"
Chen Chu shook his head: "Not yet. I didn't even turn on my phone this afternoon. Are there any new notifications?"
“Lao Pang and Lao Lin notified both groups that the war on their side has ended, and arrangements will be made for Kelya’s return in three days.”
“Three days?” Chen Chu nodded slightly and calculated that it was almost done.
Liu Feng said: "We discussed today and plan to exchange all contributions into resources, otherwise we will not be able to exchange some good things after we go back."
“For example, the Yinghuan fruit, which can greatly strengthen your physical fitness, is not only much cheaper here, but it is not even on the school’s exchange list.”
“There are also resources such as the seven-leaf flower that increases the activeness of the true power, and the arctic liquid that enhances the purity of the true power. These resources cannot be exchanged after returning.”
“…I have nothing to exchange.” Chen Chu thought for a while.
After killing the blood envoy last night, he now has thirty points of contribution in his account, but the life crystals exchanged for this contribution are not enough to strengthen the Heart's Eye Bright Sword.
As for the advanced skills, let alone them, they are even worse. On the contrary, other precious resources with magical effects are not that important to him.
In the next two days, most of Chen Chu's thoughts will be on the sword-armored beast. In the afternoon, he will go to the hospital to chat with Luo Fei and read scriptures for a long time.
On the third day, Pang Long and others returned to the base after a long journey, and everyone felt a strong sense of oppression.
Especially for Lin Xiong and other high-level cultivators of the Seventh Heaven, the pressure caused by the terrifying energy fluctuations on their bodies made it difficult for everyone to breathe even if they were restrained.
Then Chen Chu and the others were notified to pack their luggage and gather at the gate of the base at 1 p.m.
“I’m finally going back.”
At the airport in Kelya, Chen Chu and others in military uniforms were sitting on chairs waiting to board the plane. In front of everyone were their salutes, weapons, and armor boxes.
Through the glass of the tower, you can see more than a dozen runways scattered outside. Some planes are landing and some are gliding. They are very busy.
There is no way. Unlike ordinary cities where there are only one or two school trial students, this time Kelya has gathered dozens of school geniuses and teachers, and they need to be sent away in batches.
“We are Unit 018, it will be our turn soon.” Xia Youhui raised his head and looked at the numbers jumping on the big screen with some anticipation.
Chen Chu also had a faint smile on his face.
This time Nantian Wugao has a lot of people returning from Kelya. There are 13 trial students from the Third Heaven, plus Lin Xiong's five teachers, there are 18 people in total.
Among the freshmen, in addition to Xia Youhui, Lin Xue and others, there are also Li Hao, who only showed up after a few days, Hong Tianyi and An Fuqing, who are third on the freshman list.
“Passengers, please note that flight 018 is about to take off. Nantian Wugao students are asked to go to runway 4 to board the plane.”
Following the announcement from the tower, Chen Chu and others quickly stood up, put on their weapons, saluted with large and small bags, and lined up to walk out of the tower.
Pang Long and others were already waiting for everyone under the passenger plane equipped with a large number of attack weapons. After seeing them coming out, they shouted: "Put the weapons and luggage into the cabin and secure them securely."
“Teacher Pang, long time no see.”
“Teacher Liu, you seem to be prettier.”
“Director Lin, how many senior guys did you kill this time?”
Xia Youhui and others greeted Pang Long and others with playful smiles. They were no longer restrained at first. Lin Xiong said angrily: "Be quick, don't you want to go back early?"
ttle
There is not much luggage for more than ten people. The main problem is the weapons, especially the iron pillar that Li Hao thickened and lengthened to four meters. Even if it is long, it is still heavy.
Hum!
With the engine roaring, the plane glided along the runway, and finally suddenly raised its head and soared into the sky.
This time Chen Chu and Luo Fei were sitting in a row, and the girl was leaning against the window. After the plane entered the stratosphere, she turned her head slightly to look at Chen Chu and asked softly.
“Chen Chu, do you want to read a book?”
Chen Chu smiled gently: "Look, I'm going to take a nap."
The girl nodded slightly: "Okay."
This is not the first time to take a plane, and everyone is much calmer than when we came here, so no one yelled, and everyone closed their eyes to relax after taking off.
The same goes for Chen Chu. His consciousness sank and he came to the side of the sword-armored beast.
In the ocean area 200 kilometers away from the coast, under the sea surface more than 100 meters deep, a ten-meter-long, dark and ferocious sword-armored beast huddled on the bottom of the sea.
A hundred meters ahead, a 14-meter-long mutated sea python with a body as thick as a bucket and a colorful body was hunting a great white shark.
At this time, the huge body of the sea python entangled the seven-meter-long shark. Under the terrifying entanglement force, the shark had lost its struggle and its internal organs were almost crushed.
His!
At this moment, the mutated sea python suddenly let go of the shark. The ferocious python looked towards the bottom of the sea to the left, where a black mutated beast had already approached it for more than 20 meters.
At the moment when the mutated sea python discovered it, the muscles of the sword-armored beast's limbs swelled, and its power exploded in an instant.
Boom! The bottom of the sea shook violently, and several tons of earth, sand, and gravel mixed with seawater exploded beneath their feet, and the sword-armored beast burst out with its talent for swiftness and shot out.
Even because the speed was too fast, a white transparent shock wave appeared in front of its body, and it flashed past the mutated sea python in an instant.
Bang!
Before the mutated sea python could react, the giant python's head exploded into countless pieces of flesh and blood, and was instantly killed by the sword-armored beast's claw as it passed by.
In the turbid sea water filled with sand, blood, and water, the sword-armored beast slowly swam over from a distance, its cold gaze passing over the body of the sea python, and finally falling on the crystal clamped in the broken wound.
A third-level crystal.
Suddenly, the corners of the sword-armored beast's ferocious mouth raised slightly, stretched out its huge right claw, and gently dug out the dove egg-sized crystal.
Having been in the sea for so long, it has eaten a lot of mutant beasts, but it has only harvested two so far.
There is no way. This kind of thing requires the mutated creature to be at its peak state of evolution to have crystals in its body.
However, this time the sword-armored beast did not swallow it. Instead, it scraped off the scales of the python with its sharp claws, cut off a piece of snake skin and wound it around to make a simple snake skin bag.
Then he cut a long piece of snakeskin to make a rope, tied it up, and then put it around his neck with difficulty, preparing it for the returning body to be converted into attribute points.
Compared with converting crystals into evolution points after being eaten by sword-armored beasts, it is currently more cost-effective for Chen Chu to use them and convert them into attribute points.
In any case, the evolution value can be accumulated by eating the flesh and blood of mutated beasts.
