"Haha... Interesting. Our Holy Dragon Empire is a well-known country of etiquette on the mainland, but the current situation does not allow it. The war is imminent, so please ask the foreign envoys and the tribesmen to be patient."
The captain of the armored squad seemed quite amiable, and his words made Lao Zheng and Chu Xuan feel at ease - this was indeed a normal country.
Yes, what Chu Xuan and Lao Zheng feared most was that this country was beyond their common sense. If not, even if the beast tide started strong but ended weakly and lasted less than a month, Chu Xuan and Lao Zheng would have a certain degree of confidence in dealing with the officials of this country.
After seeing Chu Xuan and Lao Zheng's pretentiousness, Liu Ruohua and others quickly realized that in the days to come, they must be careful with their words and cooperate with Chu Xuan and Lao Zheng to bluff people.
Let’s get back to the topic. After the team leader finished speaking, Chu Xuan said.
"General, we are not ungrateful people. It's just that most of the supplies were abandoned when we were in trouble. If possible, we would like to ask for some water and food."
The captain of the armored squad was straightforward, "That's no problem. But don't you have a space ring?"
As the armored squad leader said this, he glanced at the pistol that Lao Zheng had on his waist.
"Short gun, right?"
"Uh...ah, yes...sorry, your colleague scared me earlier, and I reacted subconsciously." Lao Zheng said quickly with a smile.
The captain of the armored squad didn't care. He just nodded slightly to accept the apology, then looked at Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan said, "Our space ring has limited capacity. We only have emergency supplies, and most of our food, drinks and supplies are with our lost companions."
The captain of the armored squad said, "Really? I'll have someone prepare water and food for you. Please stay in that tent quietly to avoid making things difficult for us."
As he spoke, the captain of the armored squad pointed to an ordinary tent about ten meters away.
Chu Xuan nodded, "Please rest assured, our country has the custom of following local customs and guests should follow the host's wishes. Since we are in your country, we will follow your rules."
"Haha... We in the Holy Dragon Empire also believe in the guest following the host's wishes, but we also have the habit of the host following the guest's wishes. It all depends on the situation."
"Really? It seems that our two countries have similar habits. I sincerely hope that after the current situation is resolved, our two countries can develop a peaceful, equal, mutually beneficial and benign diplomatic relationship."
"It seems that the foreign envoys came with good wishes. This is good. However, I am very curious about how you offended the eldest grandson of the Memphis family?"
Faced with this question from the captain of the armored squad, Chu Xuan could only shake his head.
"I don't know. We were originally planning to go through the portal to your border, and then travel as mercenaries or businessmen to see the internal situation of your country, make adequate preparations, and then formally start diplomatic relations. However, an accident occurred with the portal, and we were sent to a forest. Then we encountered a terrible beast tide, and we have been busy ever since. Before arriving here, we didn't meet anyone in the forest."
Chu Xuan's words made perfect sense. Lao Zheng and the others couldn't help but secretly sigh, "So that's how it is." Then they slapped themselves in the face in their hearts and reminded themselves that this was just a trick.
The captain of the armored squad frowned, "So you don't know the eldest grandson of the Memphis family at all?"
"I don't know him at all. Is this general referring to the young man in gray robes who was with the female general earlier?"
"Targeting foreign delegations without reason... strange... he seems to know China..." The captain of the armored squad touched his chin, and then winked at a soldier next to him, who nodded and left.
Seeing this scene, Chu Xuan, Lao Zheng and others of course realized that the identity of this armored squad leader was definitely not simple.
At this time, a group of people also arrived in front of the tent.
Chu Xuan said, "General, the chief of my delegation is a powerful wizard. If nothing unexpected happens, the beast tide will not be able to do anything to him. So if anyone else comes out of the forest, please let me know."
“?!” The captain of the armored squad and the remaining armored soldier were all surprised. After all, facing a beast tide of that scale, they thought that even a great magician would not have the confidence to escape unscathed. Could it be that the chief officer of this delegation was a saint?
Although he was surprised, the team leader nodded and said, "This is a small matter. I hope that the rest of the members of your delegation will be blessed with good fortune."
"Thank you for your advice." Chu Xuan said this, and then took Lao Zheng and others into the tent to rest.
The team leader asked people to guard the place and brought water and food, and then left alone.
Inside the tent, Liu Ruohua and the others also recovered completely, but most of them could no longer move, especially the weakest college student, Wang Chengfu. If Chu Xuan hadn't used healing magic to keep him alive, Wang Chengfu might have died suddenly.
But no matter what, Wang Chengfu and Zhang Jun, who was exhausted but in relatively good condition overall, persisted in the 20-kilometer deadly jungle run.
From this, we can see that these two people may not be good at other things, but their perseverance is enough to make Lao Zheng and others look at them with respect, and gradually regard them as teammates.
After a short rest, Lao Zheng came to Chu Xuan, sat on the carpet, and said softly, "How about this?"
Lao Zheng didn't know if there was anyone eavesdropping outside the tent, so he had to make his wording vague.
But Rene Liu and the others were not stupid either. They immediately perked up and looked at Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan took a sip of water and said calmly, "We have limited time, don't we?"
The meaning of this statement is not difficult to understand. It means that our mission only lasts for one month. As long as it is delayed for one month, it doesn’t matter whether it is true or not.
Rene Liu and others nodded in agreement, but were also a little worried.
And Old Zheng added, "I just hope Mr. Qin and the others can have a good meal."
There are two meanings to what Lao Zheng said. First, he didn't know how terrible the beast tide was, and he just hoped that Qin Bin and others didn't misjudge the danger of the beast tide. Second, he was worried that when Qin Bin and others came out of the forest and came into contact with these aborigines, they would reveal their true colors.
Chu Xuan shook his head, "Don't worry, Mr. Qin is trustworthy."
As he spoke, Chu Xuan pointed to the location of the number of people executing the task on his Reincarnation Task Interface.
Lao Zheng and the others also took a look at their respective Reincarnation Mission interfaces and confirmed that, except for the seven newcomers who had been reduced previously, the number remained unchanged at '13', which proved that Qin Bin and the others were currently in good condition.
Chu Xuan added, "As for other matters, let's talk about it after we meet up with Mr. Qin and the others. I am more concerned about the eldest grandson of the Memphis family. Unfortunately, there is too little information, so it is useless to care about it."
Chapter 429: Super Eater
“This is also…”
Old Zheng nodded slightly and stopped talking, eating and drinking in silence and recovering his strength.
The same was true for Liu Ruohua and others, and soon some of them could not hold up their eyelids that seemed to be embedded with iron ingots and could not help dozing off.
However, before Lao Zheng and others could rest for long, they were awakened by the dense footsteps and horn sounds outside.
At this time, the captain of the armored squad also lifted the curtain and came in.
"The beast tide has left the forest earlier than expected. The battle is about to begin. Unless there are any accidents, it will not affect here. I hope you can rest in peace and don't make things difficult for us."
Chu Xuan raised his chin towards Liu Ruohua and the others, "Don't worry, most of us are in urgent need of rest."
The captain of the armored squad took a look at the tiredness of Liu Ruohua and others, and knew that these ordinary people had already reached their limits. The fact that they could hold on until now without fainting or falling asleep could already be praised for their extraordinary perseverance.
The captain of the armored squad nodded slightly, "Please have a good rest."
After saying this, the captain of the armored squad left the tent.
A moment after the other party left, Lao Zheng asked, "Can they withstand the beast tide?"
Chu Xuan replied, "These people have better intelligence than us. I don't believe such a tight military organization would make the mistake of underestimating the enemy, especially with such an open enemy. There should be no misjudgment. And since they believe they can stop the beast tide on the front battlefield, there won't be any major changes for now. As for whether there will be more variables, I don't know, I just hope not."
"Yeah, I just hope not..." Lao Zheng nodded slightly, then went to rest with Rene Liu and the others.
Chu Xuan calmed down, took out an alchemy notebook from his ring and began to study it carefully.
Time passed little by little, when explosions outside rang out one after another and all kinds of noises were frequent, even more lively than modern positional warfare. Through Chu Xuan's assertion, Lao Zheng and others learned that these were all noises caused by intensive magic bombardment. They also realized that magic in this world was very developed. Perhaps there were a large number of magicians in the army, or magic devices were abnormally common. In short, it was a very magical world.
Of course, Lao Zheng and others could not sleep well about this, and they were also worried that these indigenous armies would be able to stop the million-level beast tide that Qin Bin had mentioned.
However, there was no point in worrying anymore, so Lao Zheng and others could only cover their ears as much as possible, not think about it, and try their best to recover their physical strength to avoid failing when they had to be transferred in an emergency.
While Lao Zheng and others were enjoying the movement on the battlefield front and unable to fall asleep, Qin Bin and others were experiencing a different situation.
Esdeath and Asuna Yuuki looked at the giant skeletons of the big 'Justin' and the big buffalo next to them, and then looked at Qin Bin, Xiaobai and Zhang Xiaoyun who were still in front of the fire, eating the remaining barbecue and broth slowly and with enjoyment on their faces. Gradually, the two women couldn't help but feel a tingling sensation on their scalps.
There was no other way. The big rooster and the big buffalo monster were both of the size that could be calculated by tons, but the stomachs of Qin Bin, Xiaobai and Zhang Xiaoyun were like bottomless pits, and they actually finished the whole thing.
You have to know that Esdeath's appetite was already big enough before, but she could only eat the amount of meat for seven or eight adult men, and Yuuki Asuna's appetite was even less, just a little more than that of an ordinary adult. In other words, Qin Bin, Xiaobai and Zhang Xiaoyun ate several tons of meat, and their stomachs did not even swell, and they all looked as if they were still not satisfied.
How could this not make Esdeath and Asuna Yuuki stunned?
Seeing the two girls like this, Qin Bin smiled and said, "The stronger your physique, the more you can eat. If we really want to eat, we can eat a few more portions of the same amount of food."
"?!!" Esdeath and Asuna Yuuki widened their eyes.
But soon, Yuuki Asuna asked doubtfully, "Then didn't you guys, Xiaobin, have enough to eat in the past few days?"
Qin Bin shook his head, "Not really, we don't really need to eat."
Yuuki Asuna was stunned, "No need?"
Qin Bin explained, "To be precise, the efficiency of replenishing the energy needed by the body through eating is too low. We usually only need to absorb the special energy in the air from time to time to meet the normal consumption of the day. The three meals a day on weekdays are just our habits as ordinary people. At the same time, we are all people who like to eat, so this is the case."
"I see...By the way, won't you get fat if you eat like this?" Yuuki Asuna asked again.
This time it was Zhang Xiaoyun who answered, "No, because in most cases, human obesity is caused by excess energy intake, which is stored in the body in the form of fat, resulting in a change in shape. Our physique is too strong, so as long as we want, no matter how much biological energy enters the body, it will not form an excess.
By the way, the set of magic power condensation techniques that Jun Yu taught you, after the advanced stage, involves the process of converting various energies into pure magic power. Bioenergy, solar energy, electromagnetic energy, etc. can all be converted into magic power and stored in the magic circuit center. In other words, as long as you practice hard, it won’t be long before you can eat as much as you want and always maintain the body shape you think is the most ideal. "
"Well, there are still some flaws in my routine training today. I'm going to go practice first!"
Yuuki Asuna's eyes lit up and her enthusiasm instantly increased. Without any further ado, she went straight back to the stone house to meditate and concentrate.
Seeing Yuuki Asuna like this, Qin Bin and the other two couldn't help but laugh, and then Xiaobai said.
"Earlier, there was a brief wave of emotion among Lao Zheng and his group. It seemed that they had a conflict with the indigenous people, but it was resolved, or was resolved temporarily."
Qin Bin nodded slightly, "It seems so. Although the aura and emotions of Lao Zheng and others are not normal now, it is probably because the natives and the beast tide have started a war. Lao Zheng and others are near the front line and should be affected by the atmosphere of war."
"It's about the same." Xiao Bai paused and asked, "What identities did Lao Zheng and his friends use to contact the indigenous people?"
Zhang Xiaoyun said, "Unless there are special circumstances, they should be mercenaries. After all, a group of people who live on the edge of a knife are easier to fool in a world where magic prevails. No, it seems to depend on the system of the indigenous people. After all, most countries in our 'other homeland' have a strict household registration system, and it is impossible to fool people at all."
The 'other hometown' that Zhang Xiaoyun mentioned is, of course, the Eternal Continent.
In the Eternal Continent, especially in the East Continent, Kana and other countries, outsiders would have no chance to take a single step without household registration and a guarantor.
At this time, Qin Bin smiled and said, "Perhaps the indigenous people here also have a strict household registration system, which is why Lao Zheng and the others were so emotional earlier?"
"It's possible." Xiaobai and Zhang Xiaoyun nodded in agreement.
Qin Bin added, "But no matter what, we'll know tomorrow when we go and take a look. I hope it won't develop to an irreconcilable level."
"I'm just the opposite." Xiaobai said.
Zhang Xiaoyun said, "From what I can tell, among the nearly 1 aborigines, there is one S-level, four A-level, and dozens of B-level players. With the strength we have shown now, we can't run rampant."
Xiao Bai pursed his lips and looked at Qin Bin, "Playing tricks?"
Qin Bin blinked and was about to say something when a giant bird flew over from a distance.
When Xiaobai and the others were looking at the giant bird, Qin Bin suddenly said, "This thing can be used as a bomber. As long as the momentum is strong, our B-level forces can also shock the whole audience."
Xiaobai and Zhang Xiaoyun looked at each other, then looked at Qin Bin, and then the three of them showed playful smiles.
Naturally, Esdeath on the side didn't understand it, but when she saw Qin Bin use his mental power to capture the super giant golden eagle with a wingspan of more than 30 meters, she finally understood one thing, that is, this is a good means of transportation.
Apart from that, Esdeath couldn't understand anything at all. No matter if Qin Bin started to tinker with and refine cylindrical metal things, decomposing and re-refining them as if he was practicing, or if Xiaobai somehow scared the landing giant golden eagle so much that it fell to the ground and trembled, or if Zhang Xiaoyun was refining large-caliber tubular objects under Qin Bin's occasional guidance, Esdeath's mind was completely confused.
But Esdeath didn't ask. She was very patient and quietly waited for tomorrow to come...
Chapter 430: Passively Involved in the Dispute - Part
In the early morning, on a ruined city wall, behind a parapet bunker, Wu Lan threw down his assault rifle that had run out of bullets, picked up a long sword next to the body of an aboriginal soldier, and wildly chopped down the low- and medium-level monsters that had climbed up the city wall by stepping on the corpses of countless companions.
"Sister Wu is so powerful!" Old Zheng cheered, and while using the unlimited ammunition in his M1911A to madly shoot at the monsters that were rushing towards him, he threw the only grenade he had outside the city wall.
‘Boom! ’
With an explosion, the fragmentation grenade luckily killed several small low-level monsters, but the slightly larger low-level monsters were only injured but not killed, and some even went crazy and rushed to the top of the city wall desperately.
At this time, on the top of the city wall, Chu Xuan, with a pale face, put his hands on the ground. Countless spikes protruded from the outside of the city wall, overturning countless corpses of monsters, and piercing and killing dozens of low-level small and medium-sized monsters that were climbing up the city wall.
Chu Xuan's move temporarily stabilized the gap on the city wall.
Liu Ruohua, Chen Wenfeng, Wu Lan and others as well as dozens of indigenous private soldiers and mercenaries also rushed forward with spears, bows and arrows, long and short muskets and other weapons to consolidate this position.
However, when Lao Zheng and others wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, they looked again and saw that the endless, boundless sea of monsters was still tightly surrounding the fortress city where Lao Zheng and others and the indigenous army depended for survival. Naturally, these scenes made people's scalps numb.
"Damn it, I knew the damn Lord God wouldn't let us have it too easy."
While Old Zheng was cursing, he also quickly helped Chu Xuan, whose spirit and magic power were both exhausted, up from the ground.
Of course, the "Lord God" mentioned by Lao Zheng was automatically transformed into "Warcraft" in the ears of the natives.
Chu Xuan said with difficulty, "It was expected, but I didn't expect the existence behind the beast tide to actually play a battle formation... It took only one night to force the elite troops of the Holy Dragon Empire back to the fortress city... It's dangerous."
After hearing this, Old Zheng actually wanted to complain that the elite troops of the Holy Dragon Empire were weak, but at this time there were countless soldiers and civilians of the Holy Dragon Empire around him. Old Zheng was not stupid and would not speak nonsense, so he could only say, "It's meaningless to say this now. Even outsiders like us are asked to go to the battlefield to help, which shows that the current situation is very bad."
"It's really not good. The main magician corps are all held back by mid- and high-level monsters. In terms of conventional combat power, the Holy Dragon Empire is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers—"
"Boom————"
The sound of a magical explosion in the distant sky interrupted Chu Xuan's words.
