Chapter 271 Infiltrating Behind Enemy Lines
On the other side, hundreds of kilometers away from the battlefield, at the foot of a small hill.
Fang Ping, carrying mostly bones, ran here in one breath and, seeing that they were completely out of the battlefield, finally breathed a sigh of relief. But turning around, he saw that the skeleton was covered with only some rotten flesh.
Fang Ping didn't know what to do. He could feel Li Changsheng's flesh and blood still trembling, which meant that the old man was still alive.
It's definitely not in good condition; it's just half a bone left, and all the flesh and blood are long gone. I don't know how it survived.
Fang Ping stared at the lump of rotten flesh, not knowing what to do. Should he just abandon it like that? He, Fang Ping, was not the kind of person who would be ungrateful. Since he embarked on the path of martial arts, he had received a lot of protection and kindness from Li Changsheng. He was not an ingrate.
"Old Li, tell me, why did you have to be so stubborn? You even tried to kill an eighth-rank official with a sixth-rank one, and you did manage it, but you're now a lump of rotten flesh."
"If I take you back now, I'll have to lower the price even if I sell you as pork," Fang Ping said irritably.
Upon hearing Fang Ping's words, Li Changsheng's entire fleshy mass trembled as if he were cursing, but he was unable to utter a sound.
The only reason it can still move now is because of the little mental energy it has left, but once that mental energy is exhausted, it may really be gone.
"Why are you risking your life? There are so many high-ranking officials, why would a mere sixth-rank official like you have the chance to risk your life? Besides, the effect of your desperate efforts isn't very good."
There are still two eighth-rank officials on the other side, and Commander Zhou probably still can't defeat them. Lu Hao can hold off the seventh-rank officials, but if the eighth-rank officials can't hold on, then there's really nothing we can do. I hope they can all survive.
Fang Ping kept nagging like an old woman, which annoyed Li Changsheng, but he had no choice but to keep shaking to show his protest.
After complaining for a while, from the Minister of Education to Huang Bin, the most wronged second-rank peak martial artist, Fang Ping vented about all his experiences over the past year.
I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
However, Li Changsheng, standing to the side, wished he were already dead, otherwise Fang Ping's chanting would be like Tang Sanzang chanting sutras, which most people simply couldn't stand.
After venting his frustrations, Fang Ping then asked Li Changsheng, "Do you have any other ideas? Or maybe we should just find a place to get it done and call it a day?"
Upon hearing Fang Ping's question, Li Changsheng quickly channeled all his spiritual power to manipulate the fleshy mass into writing two characters on the ground: "Qi and Blood." What he lacked most right now was vitality, but that stuff was too rare; qi and blood were much more tangible.
With the help of Qi and blood, he can also control his current body to some extent.
"Qi and blood power? I've tried that stuff. You can't withstand my qi and blood power at all. Where am I supposed to find any low-grade qi and blood power for you?"
I have a great idea. I heard from Lu Hao that there is life essence in the Demon Plant Main City. After the great battle, they will definitely go back to heal quickly. If you are stronger then, you will be fully recovered.
As Fang Ping spoke, he planned to take Li Changsheng to find a city, otherwise Li Changsheng would die sooner or later.
He has a mental barrier, so he can sneak in. Then he can find a way to snatch the life essence and restore Old Man Li's health. The more Fang Ping thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. After all, the people in the underground cave don't know that he can hide his own blood and qi, and they won't check carefully. This way, he can easily sneak in.
Li Changsheng, who was behind him, was utterly shocked when he heard Fang Ping's plan. In his eyes, this was tantamount to courting death.
If they are discovered within the city, there will truly be nowhere to escape.
But his tremors had no effect whatsoever. As he walked, Fang Ping muttered to himself, "What's the connection between the underground cities?"
"On what basis do they decide whether or not to let people into the city?"
"When the time comes, I'll disguise myself as a caveman, and you'll be my prey; you should be able to get in, right?"
Half a day later, at the entrance of the passage.
Human martial artists all recuperate here, restoring their energy and spirit.
Lu Hao was unaware that Fang Ping had already decided to head towards the city. If he had known, he would definitely have given him a thumbs up, given Fang Ping's abilities.
Obtaining the essence of life to save Li Changsheng is currently the best method, and Fang Ping has both the system and luck, so he will definitely be able to turn the danger into safety.
However, if Lu Hao goes by himself, he cannot guarantee that he will be able to obtain it, and he might even make things worse. Therefore, sending Fang Ping is the best option.
next moment,
Lu Hao sensed two terrifying auras rushing towards them; everyone else sensed these two auras as well.
Wu Chuan stood up, his brow furrowed, and said, "Everyone, prepare to evacuate. This time, the enemy has two ninth-rank officials, five to six eighth-rank officials, and more than 20 seventh-rank officials."
I'll lure them away, you guys sneak into the underground cave, wait a day and a half, when the passage opens a second time, wait for reinforcements to arrive, and then we'll attack the other side together."
Wu Chuan's spiritual power detected the approaching underground army. This time, their numbers were twice as many as last time. It seemed the first attack had really hurt them, hence the second frenzy. They were almost going all out. Were those two cities empty now? "If possible, infiltrate the cities and cause chaos. The bigger the commotion, the better. This will lure those high-level enemies back."
Upon hearing Wu Chuan's words, everyone frowned. The army that had arrived at the underground cave was quite large, essentially a full-scale attack by both cities. What could be the reason for this?
After discovering that the son of the Pine King in his ranks had died, the Prince of Liu immediately informed the Pine King.
This way, the hatred could be directed towards the Land of Rebirth, and the risks could be shared, allowing them to fight against the Land of Rebirth together. As he had expected, King Song received the news and led his army to the city. He only needed to send a few more high-ranking soldiers. To prevent any accidents, he and his men quickly arrived. In the city, there was only one injured eighth-rank soldier and several injured seventh-rank soldiers left, preparing to receive treatment.
"Lu Sheng, you go into the passage now. Once the passage opens, report the situation here immediately. Then, after the passage opens, attack from both sides and take action against the underground cave together," Wu Chuan said to a sixth-rank elder. "This matter is also quite risky."
After all, the passage is closed, and the energy inside is unstable, posing a significant danger. Even so, we must find a way to send a message out.
If we don't enter now, we won't have another chance before the second opening. After they retreat, the underground cave will definitely be guarded.
The old man who was chosen didn't hesitate and entered the vortex passage directly. Whether he lived or died was up to fate. "The rest of you, disperse and evacuate. Those who can cause destruction should do so, and those who can't should preserve themselves. All of you, gather here in a day and a half."
As he prepared to ambush the underground warriors, Wu Chuan unleashed his inner energy and ran northeast. He wanted to lure away the ninth-rank warriors so they couldn't search for the remaining people.
