"Take you as the leader and bring ten people to guard the dense forest below."
After Hong Lei finished speaking, he put away his smile.
He continued walking towards the back, his expression seemingly unchanged, but his Adam's apple moved slightly.
Almost instantly, a secret voice came into Shen Yi's ear.
"Keep an eye on her for me. Be careful. Report any unusual behavior to me immediately."
This method of transmitting secret sound made Shen Yi slightly stunned.
Tsk, it seems that I still have a lot to learn.
As for the person the other party was referring to, it should not be the two captains in the initial stage.
Shen Yi slightly turned his eyes to look at the woman next to him.
Although the other party was wearing a black shirt, he still had a mature charm. Although he tried his best to hide his calmness on his rosy face, there was still a hint of trance in his eyes.
Hong Lei's inexplicable affinity with the young man obviously attracted everyone's attention.
Except for the one being questioned, the others looked at Shen Yi curiously, wondering why they were both in the Jade Liquid Realm, but the one with the second pattern was in charge of the one with the third pattern?
And wouldn't it be too extravagant for two Jade Liquids to form a team?
Among the many eyes, there was also Zhao Kanglin, who was wearing a cloak not far away. He was lying in front of the campfire, stirring the charcoal with a branch.
He heard the word "pig brain" more clearly than anyone else.
Zhao Kanglin licked his lips expressionlessly.
Haha, when he returns to Qingzhou, he will have plenty of ways to prevent the man named Hong from crying.
After Shen Yi, the realms of the other captains became much more normal.
Among the thirty-eight people, only one old captain barely broke through the Jade Liquid. He had accumulated merits for many years and came here this time, obviously ready to climb higher. With an extra hundred years of lifespan, he looked much younger.
The only thing that puzzled Shen Yi was that all the people who were transferred here had cloud patterns.
On the contrary, those who came out of the medicinal bath and were older on average did not see a single one.
"…"
Soon, Hong Lei organized the forty people into the formation that the outer camp was most familiar with.
Shen Yi and the old captain each led ten people, and he personally led the rest to guard the three sides respectively.
"Set up camp."
As the order was given, everyone separated in an orderly manner.
Just then, a teasing voice sounded.
Zhao Kanglin lazily sat beside the campfire, threw away the branches, looked up at Shen Yi who was passing by, and waved to stop him: "Hey, little brother, I'm injured and need to recuperate for a few days. Why don't you just take care of these twenty or so useless things for me."
"How about it?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the group looked at him sideways.
Hong Lei, who was about to walk away, also paused.
He really didn't expect that this idiot would still have the nerve to make a noise here after making such a big mistake.
The only one who didn't react was the young man in black clothes and with a black sword.
He took a step forward as if he hadn't heard anything and lightly stepped over Zhao Kanglin's arm that was blocking his way.
Then he walked slowly down the low slope.
Staring at the faint figure, Zhao Kanglin froze on the ground, and after a moment he slowly sat up straight.
I never thought that the other party would actually agree.
I just wanted to make a few jokes, embarrass Hong Lei a little, and vent the frustration in my heart.
But now.
His anger suddenly intensified, and he eased his embarrassment with a forced smile: "Tsk, what kind of kid is this? You have such a bad temper. You have some of my style when I was young. When I return to Qingzhou, I will definitely have a good relationship with you."
Listen to the threat hidden in his voice.
Many captains in the outer camps clenched their hands, but were helpless.
Those who can enter the inner camp have much better backgrounds than them, not to mention that the other party is considered a top playboy in the inner camp.
"Which one?"
Hong Lei glanced at him and snorted, "Forget about the family that can make your grandfather kneel down and call you dad. Don't make yourself uncomfortable."
Although I don't know what the relationship between Fang Heng and the young man is, or whether they are as close as I guessed.
Who cares? When bickering, you can't lose your momentum.
If we don't suppress this idiot's arrogance, who knows how disgusting he will be when he returns to Qingzhou.
"…"
Zhao Kanglin was choked back by these words and his face trembled twice.
Obviously he didn't quite believe it.
There are no more than ten people in Qingzhou who have such a huge background and are so young, and this certainly does not include ordinary captains of such a low rank.
But he didn't say anything more and turned back to the tent.
The rest of the people were left looking at each other, wondering how much truth there was in General Hong's words.
The golden eagle captains, who were being ridiculed almost face to face, silently guarded the tent, occasionally looking at the corpse not far away, revealing a bit of grief on their faces.
…
Down the low slope.
Ten people followed closely behind Shen Yi.
Except for Dai Bing who had an uncertain expression, the others all kept their heads down.
It's hard to say whether Mr. Zhao can afford to offend someone who dares to show disrespect to the general in the inner camp right from the start, but he and others certainly can't afford to offend him.
"Master Shen, please take a rest. We will set up camp as soon as possible."
Walking into the dense forest, Wang Meng bowed and very attentively wiped a piece of wet and flat bluestone for the other party.
"Need not."
Shen Yi shook his head: "Let's do it together, it will be quicker."
"Hey, it's okay. We are quick and skilled and are used to it. It won't take long." Wang Meng thought the other party was being polite.
Shen Yi turned around and took the wooden fence held by the person behind him, tapped his chin lightly, and said lightly: "I have little experience in hunting monsters in the wild, so I'll have to trouble you to teach me more."
"this..."
Wang Meng was stunned, then laughed and said, "What kind of skill is this worth teaching? It's just hard labor."
Even so, he continued to work while saying, "As the saying goes, the mountains are the best place to live, in the wilderness... close to the water and out of the wind... that's not how you put the fence, you see how I put it."
Shen Yi followed suit, and although he was a little awkward, he tried his best.
Seeing this, Dai Bing, who was originally planning to sit down, hesitated and walked towards the crowd.
As the conversation became more and more familiar, Wang Meng gradually lost his previous awkwardness and said in a low voice: "There is actually no need for you to embarrass that grandson. He is just a villain, cunning and disgusting. He has brought shame upon himself for no reason."
Shen Yi raised his eyebrows.
He had no intention of giving any warning.
I just don't want to be cannon fodder when others are greedy for credit, and be cursed for being useless after my death.
I am only a lieutenant now. If I stop to chat for a few minutes, and I am really transferred to Zhao's subordinate, it would be really frustrating...
You still have to accumulate more merits and be promoted to a general as soon as possible, at least you will be much more free and easy.
I don't know whether to say it's bad luck or good luck.
It had only been less than a month since he arrived at the Demon Suppression Division, and he had already run into two troubles in succession. Whether it was the river monsters rebelling or the sects resisting stubbornly, if it were any other captain, he would probably only encounter such a problem once in decades.
There are dangers, but the speed of promotion is also somewhat terrifying.
As long as he returns safely this time, he will be a three-marked captain... and he will have covered the distance that others would spend a lifetime covering in just one month.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi looked at the tent that had been vaguely built.
He glanced at the woman in the distance.
"…"
Dai Bing built a bonfire and sat on the ground.
She took out her sword and rubbed it gently.
On the inside of the sword guard, two neatly written small characters were slightly glaring after being worn away over the years.
Qingfeng.
