Chapter 127: Alerting the Great General
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Such an outcome once again proved the captain’s words. It proved that all the Blood Beasts here had disappeared.
“Do you believe it now?” the great captain asked solemnly.
“Yes, we believe it, but why? What kind of expert can make all the Blood Beasts here disappear? You have to know that even Silver Rank experts are helpless.”
“That’s right. Even when a Gold Rank expert like the grand marshal comes, he might not be able to kill all of them with an Area of Effect attack. There must be some surviving Blood Beasts left behind…”
“But now, we’ve slept for an entire night and not a single Blood Beast has appeared. This is simply unbelievable.”
Everyone said in disbelief. They felt that this scene was too strange. It was a little too strange.
“Captain, what do you think is going on? It feels too unbelievable,” the vice-captain said again.
“I don’t know, but Baldy and the others might know. Let’s go find him. After we figure out what’s going on, we’ll report it immediately,” the great captain said seriously.
“Okay.”
After the discussion, they searched the area three more times. After confirming it, again and again, they left in disbelief.
They headed to the Blood Sea Stronghold to ask Baldy if he knew the reason.
On the other side, at the gate of the Blood Sea Stronghold…
Captain Baldy and his nine subordinates, as well as Jiang Zhan, waited silently for Li Xuan and Jiang Yun to appear.
While waiting, they talked about their mission, which was to go to Area 5 to hunt Invisible Blood Beasts and obtain Blood Pearls.
“Everyone, be careful this time. The Blood Beasts in Area 5 are stronger, two levels higher than Area 6. Everyone must be careful,”Captain Baldy warned.
“Yes, captain. We will be vigilant.” Everyone immediately nodded.
“Captain, Mr. Ogre’s level is only Low-Level Black Iron Rank. I suggest that we find someone to protect Mr. Ogre to prevent any accidents.”
“Besides, Jiang Yun’s level is also a little low. He’s not even Black Iron Rank, so he needs to be protected.”
“If he dies, the Summoned Beast will return to the Summoned Beasts World. It’ll be troublesome then,” Lu Bin said seriously.
“You’re right. The weakest in Area 5 is the Black Iron Rank. In comparison, Jiang Yun’s strength is indeed weaker.”
“Although Mr. Ogre has reached Black Iron Rank, We still have to be careful and protect their safety.”
Captain Baldy nodded and prepared to find two people to focus on protecting the ogre and Jiang Yun.
At the same time, he had a doubt in his heart, which was whether he could increase the strength of the ogre. With doubt, he looked at Jiang Xiaoyu beside him.
“Xiaoyu, are the levels of ogres always lower than Black Iron Rank? Is it possible to increase them?”
“Of course not. Our Jiang family did a lot of experiments in order to increase the strength of the ogres. Unfortunately, they failed.”
“The ogres seemed to be cursed and couldn’t increase their strength at all. Therefore, there was no need to consider this problem.” Jiang Xiaoyu shook her head.
“I see. It seems that the method to increase their strength has failed. We can only use two people to protect them.” Captain Baldy shook his head.
“Eh? They are here. look.” Jiang Zhan pointed to a place not far away and waved his hand.
“They are really here.”
Captain Baldy smiled and was about to greet them. However, when he sensed the Spiritual Power fluctuation of Jiang Yun and the ogres, he was stunned on the spot.
“What’s wrong, Captain Baldy?” Jiang Xiaoyu asked in puzzlement.
“Quick… look at their levels. Oh my God, they have all leveled up. The ogre has reached the Mid-Level Black Iron Rank,” Captain Baldy said hurriedly.
“Mid-Level Black Iron Rank? No way.”
Jiang Xiaoyu looked at the ogre in disbelief. However, when she saw the ogre, her pupils constricted.
“It… It really reached the Mid-Level Black Iron Rank. How is this possible? The problem that our Jiang family has been unable to solve for so many years has been solved?”
Jiang Xiaoyu was stunned. She looked at the ogre walking over in disbelief. Her small head buzzed as if it had been smashed.
Jiang Zhan, who was standing beside her, also looked at this scene in a daze. Especially when he saw that Jiang Yun’s level had reached the Low-Level Black Iron Rank, Jiang Zhan found it hard to believe.
“Jiang Yun, you’ve actually reached Black Iron Rank as well. Why are you so fast? Your aptitude is clearly not high, so why are you on the same level as me so quickly?”
“About that…”
Jiang Yun smiled as he walked over and said, “It’s a secret.”
“A secret? Could it be a fortuitous encounter?” Captain Baldy guessed.
“It’s not a fortuitous encounter. After clearing out the Blood Beasts in Area 5, I’ll tell you,” Li Xuan spoke with an unquestionable tone.
“Okay, okay. We’re looking forward to it.”
Captain Baldy and Jiang Xiaoyu really wanted to know, but they did not dare to anger Li Xuan. They could only wait for the secret to be revealed in the future.
Therefore, in their deep anticipation, they headed toward area 5 and began their hunting mission once again.
Not long after they left, the patrol team rushed back from Area 6 and went straight to Captain Baldy’s camp.
In the end, there was not a single person in the camp. They searched three times but could not find anyone.
Helpless, they could only choose to wait. They were prepared to ask Baldy and the others when they came back at night.
What made them helpless was that Baldy’s team did not come back at night either. They did not even come back for a few days. They had no idea where they went.
Helpless, the patrol team confirmed in detail more than ten times. After officially confirming that there were no more Blood Beasts in Area 6, they were ready to report it.
“Great captain, let’s report it today. It has dragged on for too long. Moreover, the great general is back today. It’s a good time to report it,” the vice-captain suggested.
“Okay! Then let’s go to the great general’s camp and report it.”
“Okay.”
After making a decision, the two of them set off and quickly headed to the great general’s camp.
In the great general’s camp, study room…
The great general, who had a strong aura and lightning-like eyes, was quietly handling official business. He had been investigating the issue of the Blood Sea outbreak for the past few days and had not returned for a few days.
This had also caused him to accumulate a lot of official business, which he had to deal with as soon as possible.
“Great general, there’s a letter from the Alchemy Guild. It’s from your big brother,” a girl dressed as a man said meekly.
“My big brother? He actually sent me a letter?”
The great general looked at the girl in surprise, his heart filled with curiosity.
His big brother was the Alchemy Guild’s First Elder, and he was also a martial arts fanatic. He cultivated every day.
Although his elder brother’s aptitude was a little inferior and his brain was a little stupid, he was too focused on cultivation. His strength grew stronger and stronger, surpassing the Alchemy Guild’s guild leader and even hoping to break through to the Gold Rank.
His elder brother was too focused on cultivation, so he did not care about many things. The great general had never received a letter before.
At this moment, a letter had suddenly appeared. This was truly surprising.
“Ya’er, bring the letter over. Let me have a look,” the great general said with a smile.
“Mmhm.”
The girl who was dressed as a man came to the side of the great general. Just as she was about to hand over the letter in her hand, a report came from outside.
“Report! The great captain of the sixth patrol team requests to see you.”
“The great captain of the sixth patrol team? Could it be that something has happened to the Blood Sea?”
The great general frowned and immediately shouted, “Let them in.”
“Yes!”
Following the great general’s order, the great captain of the patrol team quickly walked in respectfully with the vice-captain.
“Great general, something big has happened in Blood Sea Area 6. All the Blood Beasts have disappeared. The entire Area 6 is empty,” the great captain hurriedly said.
“All the Blood Beasts have disappeared? All of them are empty? Are you sure? There are a large number of Invisible Blood Beasts there. Is it because of the invisibility?” the great general asked in puzzlement.
“No, it’s not because of the invisibility. It’s because there isn’t a single Blood Beast. We have repeatedly checked more than a dozen times. We even slept in Blood Sea Area 6 for a night to confirm,” the great captain said again.
“Slept for a night?”
The great general was finally moved. The results of checking and sleeping for a night were different. Sleeping in Area 6 was equivalent to severely provoking the Blood Beasts.
Normally, the Blood Beasts would definitely launch a sneak attack. It was absolutely impossible for them to let others sleep there. However, it was shocking that the great captain and the rest were safe and sound.
“Are you sure?” the great general asked seriously.
“Of course I’m sure. I’ll guarantee it with my own head,” the great captain said seriously.
“I’ll go and take a look myself. Ya’er, you’ll go with me. Can you help me investigate?” The great general looked at the little girl who was dressed as a man.
“Okay.”
The girl placed the letter under the inkstone and nodded her head weakly.
“Let’s go.”
The great general set off. He led the army and charged into Blood Sea Area 6, starting to investigate in detail.
The girl named Ya’er pointed her index finger at the ground. A strange power spread in all directions, reaching a radius of ten meters before retracting.
Then, Ya’er continued to point her index finger at the ground not far away and probed bit by bit.
After probing for a whole morning, they finally stopped completely. Then, they came to a shocking result.
That was the Blood Beasts in Area 6. There was really none left. Not a single one. Moreover, it was confirmed that they had been killed. This was confirmed by Ya’er, who had a mysterious ability.
“This is too unbelievable. This is really too unbelievable. What kind of expert was it that killed all the Blood Beasts?” Ya’er said in shock.
“Unbelievable. Even I, a Silver Rank, could not do this. What on Earth is going on?”
The great general was equally shocked. He could not figure out which expert had made a move.
“Could it be that the grand marshal has come? That’s not right. The grand marshal has to deal with the Dark Army. He simply can’t get away…”
“Moreover, if he’s here, he’ll definitely use his ultimate skill to kill the Blood Beasts. It’s impossible for him to kill them all so cleanly. He needs the cooperation of the army.”
The great general could not figure it out. He could only turn his head to look at the patrol team that had reported the news earlier.
“Speak. Tell me the ins and outs of this matter. which team has been here before?” the great general said seriously.
“Yes! It started a few days ago…”
The patrol team began to tell him everything they knew, including Captain Baldy’s team.
After figuring out everything, the great general began to send people to investigate Captain Baldy’s information and find out where he was.
When someone reported that Captain Baldy’s team had gone to Area 5 a few days ago, the great general immediately set off with his army and went straight to Area five.
“I’d like to see just how powerful they are. They’ve taken care of the Blood Beasts in Area 6. This is a thorny problem that even Gold Ranks don’t want to get involved in.”
The great general muttered and brought everyone to Area 5 very quickly.
