Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 823 Battlefield of Nine Smoke Marsh

"Disaster level?" Wu He exclaimed in shock.

Bai Yang and Luo Feng didn't react much.

The tall, burly man continued indifferently, "I am the captain of the sixth squad of the first battalion of the Manghe Army. This contains all the military regulations and common sense within the army..."

You can do it yourselves.

"Don't disturb your teammates' cultivation unless there are special circumstances." With that, he flipped his hand and threw out three crystal balls.

The crystal ball was about the size of a finger, and the three of them received it at the same time.

"Please be aware that catastrophic missions are extremely dangerous."

A clear, crisp voice rang out, belonging to a woman with green skin and green wings.

"Kufa, do you really think those two rookies can survive a disaster-level mission?"

"snort."

"They haven't even received basic training, nor have they had enough time to cultivate. How could they possibly survive a disaster-level mission?"

The soldiers shook their heads and then teleported away one by one, too lazy to communicate with them any further.

The captain gave Bai Yang and the others a deep look: "Get ready."

Bai Yang gave Kufa a slight nod; among this group, this was the only one who still had a semblance of humanity.

Wu He's face was grim. He quickly explained the difficulty levels of the missions at various levels, emphasizing the "disaster" level.

Now he wanted to cling to Bai Yang's coattails even more, because he had absolutely no chance of surviving on his own!

How could I be so unlucky!

Bai Yang immediately contacted Giant Axe in the virtual universe, and he successfully joined the army. For the time being, there was no danger.

The true god is indeed treated much better in the army than the lord of the universe.

The Manghe Army was divided into three battalions.

The three detachments each occupied one of the three major areas of the lake.

The first brigade consists of nine squads, each with its own area where they can choose any unclaimed island as their training ground.

Bai Yang, Luo Feng, and Wu He each chose a nearby island to settle down temporarily, with only one year left before the mission began.

They immediately headed to the central island to examine the foundational traditions of the Python River Army.

On the island stood rows of stone pillars, each topped with a crystal sphere.

Special legions receive special treatment; upon joining, they are given basic training for free.

However, for more challenging tasks, military merits are required.

There are about a hundred crystal spheres on the island.

Bai Yang instantly unleashed his divine power, penetrating directly into every crystal sphere, causing a surge of information to flood in.

Forging treasures, crafting machinery, melee combat, burning divine power...

These are all things that interest him!

The Burning Divine Power Secret Technique has only one level, equivalent to the first volume of "Annihilation".

Bai Yang memorized it all in an instant. These basic inheritances were naturally far inferior to the core inheritances of Duan Donghe.

However, compared to the massive amount of memory stones, it is definitely top-tier. It can be said that the Python River Army's inheritance can be considered a "superior inheritance".

All he wanted was to have a legitimate reason for being in power.

"According to the crystal sphere, those who have military merits can hire a true god to be their personal guard."

You can also ask someone to guide you in your training, including the [Mechanical Sergeant]!

Bai Yang has long accumulated a wealth of knowledge and insights into various inheritances and secret patterns in the field of weapon crafting.

However, there were still some problems, mainly because he was figuring things out on his own and hadn't had access to the relevant equipment.

If you can get some guidance from someone, your skills in this area will improve by leaps and bounds!

Abundant biological materials! Abundant military merits! Abundant weapon-forging guidance!

He secretly made a plan in his mind.

A year later, a sinister, all-black palace appeared.

The main hall is decorated with numerous carvings depicting powerful figures.

It took nearly a day for the entire sixth squad of 40 soldiers to transform into streaks of light and arrive at the area affected by this eerie hall.

boom!

A beam of light shot directly at all the soldiers in the entire sixth squad.

Suddenly, a voice came to my mind, as if it were a telepathic transmission, describing the military mission in detail.

Military mission location—Jiuyanze!

Mission objective: Gain 1 military merits. Killing a True God grants 1 military merits, and killing a Lord of Laws grants 1 military merit.

Killing a true god requires proof of the "true god's corpse," while killing the Lord of Laws requires proof of the weapon left behind.

Mission deadline: Must be completed before the next mission; failure will result in court-martial.

The mission description was simple, but it immediately changed the expressions of Luo Feng and Wu He.

This is way too difficult!

Bai Yang had expected this, but he only felt anticipation.

"This is insane! To accumulate ten thousand military merits, you'd have to kill a full ten thousand, even if you were a master of the Killing Law!" Luo Feng frowned.

The Lord of Laws is absolutely well protected in the Nine Smoke Marsh. Killing ten might be possible, but killing too many would definitely attract some True Gods to come.

Once besieged, especially by a large number of true gods, even with the Tomb Ship, they might not be able to escape.

The entire team stood in silence for a moment outside the eerie hall, each of them feeling the pressure.

The captain looked around. "This is too difficult... so I think we need to join forces!"

Many people know how treacherous he is, so Yu Luo immediately brought up old grievances and challenged him, showing no intention of using him as cannon fodder, and left with his men.

Kufa, though outwardly gentle, inwardly firm, directly rejected him, but expressed goodwill towards Bai Yang and the others, offering to take them with him to Jiuyanze.

Bai Yang knew this was already quite good; why should a complete stranger risk their life for him? He simply expressed his gratitude.

Jiuyan Marsh is an extremely vast marshland.

This place is home to countless powerful alien beasts, making it an extremely powerful alien beast force.

Twelve days later, the outermost edge of Jiuyanze.

call!

A black warship appeared out of nowhere, hiding in the lush weeds on the outskirts of this great swamp.

The warship's hatches opened, and figures flew out before the warship vanished.

"We have arrived at Jiuyanze." Kufa's voice was clear as he scanned the surroundings. The soldiers were all on high alert. "Shanhai, Yinhe, and Wuhe, let's part ways here. Good luck to you two."

Many of Kufa's soldiers offered their blessings.

"Thank you." Bai Yang, Luo Feng, and Wu He were all sincerely grateful for the other's kindness.

The entire Jiuyan Marsh is too large; they have plenty of space to act independently.

After Bai Yang led the two away, he continued to advance along the outer perimeter to explore the situation.

They wouldn't even give a second thought to ordinary universe masters; they'd be more than happy to come to them.

The energy reaction of the true god is too strong to escape the detection of the spirit energy device, making it very safe to act.

Two weeks later, they had inspected a large area.

Seeing how miraculously Bai Yang could lead the way, Wu He made up his mind to follow the two of them.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Bai Yang asked him for a piece of soulless flesh, which he gave without hesitation.

"Xuanyu Mountain? Jiuyan Marsh? They're fighting again." Luo Feng murmured, watching a group of Universe Lords clashing in the distance.

Guys of this caliber don't earn much in terms of military merit.

But for some reason, every time Bai Yang discovered it, he would bring them over.

Only he himself knew how many kinds of strange beasts' flesh and blood he had taken the opportunity to harvest, and how much genetic information he had obtained.

The group of guys not far away, more than twenty people, were fighting on two sides, which was relatively small in number.

Bai Yang glanced at it a few more times and said, "Then let's earn some military merits first."

Luo Feng and Wu He's eyes lit up. Were they finally going to make a move?
