22: Call me sister? Can you help look after the students?

The deeper they went, the heavier the faint gray mist in the air became.

The ground was devoid of life, a scene of decaying wasteland.

Passing through a gloomy forest, Ye Ze followed Ruan Xiaoyou to a temple filled with dense demonic energy!

19th Contaminated Land was originally a scenic area, and the temples in this scenic area had now become strongholds for Fiends.

The temple was not small, and several low-level Corpse Demons wandered near the main gate.

Ruan Xiaoyou whispered,

“Do you still remember that bounty mission to search for lost supplies?”

It was the one she accepted at the bounty mission point… Ye Ze had a good memory and nodded.

Ruan Xiaoyou spoke of the main purpose of this trip:

“That batch of lost supplies was originally special items being transported to East Wu City.”

“During transportation, they happened to encounter the spread of the Pollution Land, and the transport personnel were attacked by Fiends, causing the items to be lost here…”

Upon hearing this, Ye Ze's expression immediately changed to one of surprise.

“Special items transported to East Wu City?”

East Wu City was the largest, most resource-rich, and most powerful large-scale central city in the East China Region!

It could be described as 'vast and rich in resources', tens of times stronger than Lin Yuan City!

Even the best university in East China, Hua Dong Martial Arts University, was located in East Wu City.

So…

“What special items are worth transporting to East Wu City from other places?”

Moreover, this task was also offered a bounty of 500 military merits by the military.

Ye Ze's curiosity was immediately piqued, and he asked,

“Are those lost supplies in this temple?”

Ruan Xiaoyou nodded, “Uh-huh!”

“What's in those supplies?”

Ye Ze was sure she knew.

The bounty mission only mentioned lost supplies, but she knew the origin of the supplies perfectly.

Plus, she was a student of Hua Dong Martial Arts University and originally from East Wu City, so Ye Ze suspected she came for this very reason!

Ruan Xiaoyou's delicate and charming face suddenly broke into a cunning smile:

“Call me big sister and I'll tell you~”

Ye Ze: “…”

A man lives between heaven and earth!

How could he betray his dignity for such a small matter!

At least add something more…

As for the contents of the supplies, I'll just know once I go in and use Eye of Insight!

Ye Ze righteously said, “No way!”

“Are you really not curious?”

Ruan Xiaoyou wanted to tempt him further, but Ye Ze remained unmoved, and she wasn't disappointed.

Then, she turned and pointed towards the temple:

“Look, after entering the temple gate, there are East and West courtyards.”

“Each has more than 6 Demon Elite, and some ordinary Fiends…”

Ye Ze followed her finger and saw that the demonic energy in the two courtyards was indeed stronger than outside.

He and Ruan Xiaoyou would obviously each deal with one side.

Ruan Xiaoyou earnestly advised, “If you feel you can't hold on until I come to support…”

“Leave now, we still have a chance to find another teammate.”

Judging by the strength of the Shadow Squirrel Ruan Xiaoyou had seen, it would be difficult for Ye Ze to hold back a group of Fiends alone.

But upon hearing about that group of Fiends, Ye Ze became particularly excited.

These were all walking experience packs!

If there were really so many Demon Elite, then his experience source for the next level would also be in sight!

Ye Ze eagerly said,

“If I leave now, I'll have to sit up in bed and slap myself twice in the middle of the night.”

“Pfft…” Ruan Xiaoyou covered her mouth and chuckled, “Alright, alright.”

“Then let's try it!”

Once she decided to act, she immediately became serious.

She immediately pulled out a dark gray energy ball and threw it straight towards the temple gate.

“I'll take the left, you take the right.”

As soon as her voice fell, her figure instantly disappeared, appearing directly at the temple gate, at the location of that energy ball.

“It's a teleportation spirit…”

Ye Ze had seen the Dark Spirit Assassin's skills, so he naturally knew what that energy ball was.

As long as the teleportation spirit didn't dissipate, the Dark Spirit Assassin could teleport multiple times within range by consuming mana!

It was also a rare profession, and its professional strength was considerable.

Ruan Xiaoyou's short dagger appeared in her hand, a faint glow flashed, and the several Corpse Demons at the door were sliced into countless thin pieces…

Then, she gave Ye Ze a 'go for it' look and charged into the left courtyard.

Between the two courtyards, the left one had a stronger demonic aura.

She proactively chose the stronger one.

Ye Ze didn't procrastinate either, he got up and walked over, “Panda.”

A Tai Chi pattern array lit up, and a black-and-white Kung Fu Panda wearing a small daoist robe appeared.

This was Ye Ze's true combat power!

The dozen or so Fiends in the right courtyard were now moving towards the left, attempting to surround Ruan Xiaoyou, who had entered first.

And Panda stood in front of them, displaying the White Crane Spreads Wings starting stance.

“Huo——”

Among the dozen or so Fiends, six were Demon Elite.

What reassured Ye Ze was that these six were all Blood Bone Demons.

As long as the Blood Bone Demons didn't inflict injuries, they wouldn't pose much of a threat!

Ye Ze instructed, “Squirrel doesn't need to fight, send Doppelgangers to search for treasures around.”

Squirrel happily raised both paws, cheering.

For some reason, ever since gaining the 'Treasure Sniff' entry, Squirrel was clearly more interested in acquiring treasures.

It felt like:

Combat is just work, treasure hunting is life.

Then, Squirrel split into 4 Shadow Doppelgangers, which sped towards the temple.

In the courtyard, battle was imminent.

Six Blood Bone Demons and eight Corpse Demons, just as they were about to surround Panda, suddenly slowed down.

Although Kung Fu Panda was round, its moves were very flexible.

Its two panda paws swayed like flowing clouds and water, first pushing out 'Cloud Hands', where the debilitating Qi surrounded all the Blood Bone Demons.

Then, it clapped its two paws, performing 'Double Peaks Piercing Ears', unleashing a powerful Tai Chi Internal Strength!

“Pa——”

The four Corpse Demons directly in the path were blasted apart, crumbling into a pile of minced meat.

【Killed Corpse Demon * 4, gained experience + 360!】

【Level: 6 (1570/3100)】

Easily annihilated!

Among the Demon Elite, only three were in good condition, and the other three were affected by Double Peaks Piercing Ears and severely wounded.

Unfortunately, the injury of their kind could not trigger their 'Berserk' characteristic.

Panda fought six, even completely dominating them.

Suddenly, a whooshing sound rang out.

The Blood Bone Demons even began to sneak attack, pulling out their ribs and condensing a bone spike to fly towards Panda.

But Panda was a 'Battlefield Legend', with unparalleled battlefield experience!

The battlefield never lacked sneak attacks.

This could only be considered child's play.

Panda flashed and grabbed the bone spike, using its momentum to throw it at another injured Blood Bone Demon.

Its speed was so fast that the latter had no time to react.

“Cha——”

The Blood Bone Demon's skill was instead used to kill its own kind.

【Killed Blood Bone Demon (lv.15), gained experience + 375!】

Blood Bone Demons that couldn't trigger 'Berserk' were like tigers without teeth.

Panda's black and white body flashed, actively charging into the group of Fiends.

With a 'pa' of its palm, it instantly crushed a severely injured Blood Bone Demon, bone shield and all.

The remaining Fiends retaliated furiously.

Panda accepted all comers, at ease.

With the 'Spirit Contract' exclusive set, attack damage coefficient increased to 150%!

Plus dual legendary aura, 50% attack bonus, 80% attack speed bonus…

Even a level 6 fighting a level 15 was as simple as cutting vegetables.

In less than two minutes, all six Demon Elite and eight Corpse Demons were reduced to scattered flesh and remains!

【Ding! You have leveled up to: Level 7!】

【Talent——You have gained one 'Infinite Gold Entry' draw chance!】

…

At the same time, in the Scout Camp's monitoring department.

More than a dozen military clerks continuously checked the monitoring instrument data, recording the progress of the reclamation of the 19th Contaminated Land.

Beside the sand table model, Captain Xu Feng looked worried.

“What's going on with this 19th Contaminated Land?”

“The reclamation progress is actually twice as slow as the 18th!”

Dozens of scouts had been working for almost a day, and the reclamation progress was surprisingly less than 30%!

The only thing that comforted him was Ye Ze.

Compared to others, he was far ahead, having already reached the depths of the Pollution Land.

At this moment, the clerk specifically responsible for Ye Ze exclaimed,

“Captain! Come look!”

Camp Leader Xu Feng's expression tightened, “Something happened? Did Ye Ze encounter an Elite Fiend?”

“Give me his location, I'll go there now!”

The clerk shook his head, but his face showed surprise, as if the matter was even more bizarre than encountering an Elite Fiend!

Camp Leader Xu Feng immediately strode over.

The clerk swallowed and said, “Look, according to theNameplate display… Ye Ze, he's level 7!”

Camp Leader Xu Feng was a little speechless and reprimanded him unhappily:

“Don't be so jumpy, I thought it was something else, what's wrong with level 7?”

“Level 7…”

As he was speaking, he suddenly remembered something, and his face changed drastically in an instant.

“Level 7!!!”

“When he last mentioned it, wasn't he only level 5?”

Camp Leader Xu Feng pointed at the clerk, even wanting to question if he had reported the wrong information.

It had only been a little over two hours, and he had gained two levels?

When he was leveling up for the college entrance exam, gaining two levels a day was considered very efficient!

The clerk immediately repeated aggrievedly:

“It's really not wrong, Ye Ze was level 4 when he came to the Scout Camp.”

“After the first hour of reclamation, he leveled up to level 5…”

“Now, after another two hours, he has gained two levels! He's already level 7!”

Camp Leader Xu Feng gasped, “My goodness.”

If it weren't for the fact that this instrument had never made a mistake, he would even suspect that the data was problematic.

Three levels in just over three hours!

This leveling efficiency…

“Wait!” Camp Leader Xu Feng suddenly gasped again, “Did he not encounter Demon Elite?”

The clerk smiled bitterly, “Given this leveling efficiency, he not only encountered them, but probably killed more than one!”

Captain Xu Feng's expression froze.

The clerk explained the reason: “If he didn't kill Demon Elite, he would need to kill 58 ordinary Fiends in a row to gain 2 levels.”

“But with the Summoned Beast's stamina, it's impossible to farm monsters at such a high intensity.”

“Furthermore, judging by the density of Fiends, I suspect he has killed more than 7 Demon Elite!”

Hearing such sensational news, the clerks working nearby couldn't help but peek.

Camp Leader Xu Feng was even more at a loss for words, letting out a long sigh:

“How many levels is he at? And he already has such combat power!”

“Where did this immortal come from?”

Thinking of this, Camp Leader Xu Feng immediately contacted the personnel responsible for temporary scout identity registration:

“Quick! Find out where he came from!”

Scout Camp registration personnel: “Ye Ze?”

“Yes! What's his identity, and who approved him to come in, find out everything clearly!”

“Understood!”

Camp Leader Xu Feng now strongly suspected that this was a genius disciple secretly cultivated by some powerful figure!

Just then, the door to the room was pushed open.

A military officer in his fifties walked in, exuding a powerful aura, awe-inspiring without being angry.

Camp Leader Xu Feng was greatly surprised, “Regimental Commander! Why are you here?”

The person who had arrived was Regimental Commander Chang Zhengping, the Regimental Commander of the East China Army's North-Chasing Regiment.

Although he and his Scout Camp did not belong to the same system, he was still one of the top decision-makers in the East China Army!

Camp Leader Xu Feng immediately saluted.

Regimental Commander Chang Zhengping waved his hands repeatedly, “Personal matter, personal matter.”

The two found a quiet place to sit down, and Regimental Commander Chang Zhengping continued:

“An old comrade-in-arms who retired due to injury never asked me for help, but today he suddenly asked me to look after his student.”

“So, I hurried over.”

After saying this, Camp Leader Xu Feng naturally understood, “In the Scout Camp?”

Regimental Commander Chang Zhengping nodded.

Helping to look after younger generations in the military was a common occurrence.

It wasn't a violation of discipline, but within the prescribed limits, it couldn't help much, at most ensuring their survival.

Regimental Commander Chang Zhengping meant the same: “He's in the team exploring the Pollution Land today.”

“My old comrade-in-arms said that his student is only level 4 now, young and arrogant, taking unconventional paths, and might get into trouble…”

“He asked me to ensure his safe return.”

Upon hearing this level, Camp Leader Xu Feng's originally calm face immediately became excited!

Level 4… It couldn't be such a coincidence, could it?

He cautiously probed, “May I ask, what is the student's name…”

“His name is Ye Ze, a third-year student from the ordinary class of the War College.”

After Regimental Commander Chang Zhengping finished speaking, he asked worriedly, “He didn't get into trouble, did he?”

Camp Leader Xu Feng's eyes instantly widened like brass bells.

It really was him!!!
