Chapter 331 The battalion commander told me to come patrol the mountain.
There's some bad news.
They were distributing fasting pills from above, giving out three months' worth in one go.
Zhong Ming felt that things were about to change.
Sometimes, he couldn't understand why so many cultivators could leisurely stand and choose from the mission lists before, while he, whose cultivation level was almost at that level, could only patrol the military camp all the time.
He walked slowly, his mind preoccupied with how to open his own small...care shop.
Zhong Ming had inquired with the medical monks about the group that had been coming to him to have his silver needles polished, but received no response. The medical team indicated that they were probably not their people.
The chef chatted with him quite a bit, but after the fasting pills were distributed, he hardly went out anymore.
Zhong Ming returned to his barracks, where Zhang Youcai stood respectfully at the door. Upon seeing his "superior" return, he immediately knelt down to greet him.
"No need to kneel down, just give a military salute."
"Yes, sir... Captain."
"No messages?"
"No, nothing."
Zhong Ming grunted in agreement and strolled into the courtyard.
However, when he returned to his small room, there was an envelope on the stone bed.
He silently took the necessary precautions, stepped back a few paces, and carefully opened the envelope.
"Seeing this letter is like seeing you in person, Master Cuihong..." The sender was the master brewer, Fairy Danpo.
In short, she was going into seclusion and hoped that her apprentice, He Guang, would take care of her if anything happened to him. It wouldn't have been a big deal, but now, under Zhong Ming's "inspiration," He Guang's technique of blowing up the vat was becoming more and more proficient, and she didn't know when he might blow himself up.
Zhong Ming rubbed his forehead; he couldn't get away from this situation either.
Just as I was about to reply, I suddenly realized that I didn't seem to know how to send a letter to Fairy Danpo. Which wine cellar was she in again?
He simply stopped thinking about things he couldn't understand and waited for the war to begin.
Everyone is waiting.
Tonight, there were three alarms and five hunts of scout monsters.
An artillery battalion at the front suffered heavy losses and retreated to their side.
The beast tide in the sea is dissipating. Under the relentless bombardment of various artillery battalions, even those hiding in the depths of the sea have suffered enormous losses. The entire seawater has been dyed red, and some areas have experienced a sharp rise in temperature due to the excessive spiritual energy surge. A rich seafood soup aroma permeates the sea.
The number of enemy troops attacking the 134th Battalion remains high.
Another day passed. Five alarms sounded overnight, and three more during the day. These intrusions or reconnaissance were real, but they made everyone even more unsure of the enemy's intentions.
Logically speaking, shouldn't there be more soldiers launching surprise attacks on the front lines?
Zhong Ming got plenty of rest because he was on duty tonight.
Fang Qianqian was dragged into the patrol by him. This kid was a real scoundrel, and he was also a real coward. He directly pulled over his former underlings, those cultivators who had been beaten up by Zhong Ming when they were about to bully Xuan Jing and Chen Dahai. A large group of Qi Refining Level 5 and 6 cultivators made quite a show of force.
Zhong Ming is finally starting to look like a captain.
This time, he walked openly toward the waterfall. This mountain was a key target for everyone's defense. The battalion commander believed that due to the existence of the silence restriction, the enemy would definitely use some attacks that would force high-level cultivators out of seclusion to exhaust everyone. This was the area where a large number of enemies might be hiding.
Zhong Ming first checked the underground monitoring station located at the foot of the mountain, where the monks stationed there said that everything was fine.
Afterwards, they walked straight up to the mountaintop to meet up with the cultivators who were monitoring the sky. After confirming that there were no abnormalities, the group was able to steal a moment of leisure amidst their busy schedule.
Next, we will follow a downhill path laid out along the side of the waterfall. The scenery here is picturesque, especially the moonlit night view.
Fang Qianqian walked casually behind Zhong Ming, asking questions incessantly, "Why is the water volume of this waterfall so large?" "The last time I saw such a large waterfall was in a place with a big river drop. Why is there so much water here?" "Why don't we dive into the water and see if there really is an underground fountain?"
Zhong Ming also found it strange, but the strange thing wasn't there.
"You say that if so much water can come through underground rivers, then can't that mean just as many enemies can also come through?"
"Captain Cuihong, the battalion commander ordered the waterway cultivators to set up an underground water network observation station, so there shouldn't be any problems."
The speaker was a cultivator with exceptional physical cultivation skills. When Zhong Ming faced him, he was a realm higher than the cultivator and was slightly at a disadvantage.
Where is that person standing?
"That one was standing on the patrol route of the First Guard Team."
"How come you seem to know me so well?"
The man rolled his eyes. "How many days have I been here? How many days have you been here? You think the guards who wander around are the most extensive? Where haven't I been in the logistics department? I can name every single member of the First Guards."
“Captain Hui Cuihong, that’s what the members of the First Guard Team told me.”
Zhong Ming nodded, then suddenly flipped over the railing of the path and plunged directly towards the waterfall.
With a flash of sword light, Zhong Ming rode his sword through the air, carefully observing the path below.
Some areas are paved with plank roads, and if you need to hide someone, the best place is directly underneath them.
As it turned out, these clever tricks were useless; the more experienced cultivators had already figured this out.
At this point, even Zhong Ming didn't know how the enemy could infiltrate, as multiple layers of defense were set up in the sky, on the ground, and underwater.
He flew back to Fang Qianqian's side, but the brat didn't care about Zhong Ming's actions at all and was "giving orders" here.
“Look at that pine tree, hanging halfway up the cliff. If I were to set up a defensive line, I would set up a sentry post on it.”
"But if it can be observed in one place, it can definitely be observed in other places as well."
"Are you stupid? Just set up a lookout there, and you could catch the couple red-handed in no time." As Fang Qianqian spoke, she suddenly leaned out and looked down, seemingly obsessed with spying on some fairy bathing in the moonlight.
As soon as Zhong Ming landed, he flicked him on the forehead, "Be serious."
"Oh, Captain, it's just that the moonlight is so beautiful tonight, I was just feeling sentimental... To be honest, don't you want to see your... Crimson Bow Fairy bathing under such moonlight?"
"Wait, say it again."
"Oh dear, the news has spread all over the observation team. Stop pretending. You definitely have something going on with Fairy Red Bow."
"No, the last sentence."
Zhong Ming looked up at the sky. The bright moon was shining, and there were no clouds in the sky. It was a perfect day.
