System: If the loyalty of the "Night Owl" team reaches 90%, you can start the side mission (1) and kill 20 Zhao Jun lurking troops. (Note: The captain is responsible for protecting the entire "Night Owl" team (a total of 24 people)

) cannot be less than 10 people, otherwise the task calculation will fail.)

Mission reward: For every time the captain kills a member of Zhao Jun's lurking force, he will get 5000 experience points and a merit value of 1; for every time the deputy captain kills a member of Zhao Jun's lurking force, the captain will get 4000 experience points; for every time a teammate kills one, the captain will get 4000 experience points.

Zhao Jun lurked troops, and the captain gained 2000 experience points.

A hidden side mission was actually triggered, which actually gave away a large amount of experience points. However, this reward seems to be the most abundant if you get it yourself, and in addition to the high experience points, it also gives you an extra point of merit points.

Chen Baiqi really wanted to accumulate all these merit points, and she believed that merit points should be relatively difficult to earn and rare, so she would never give up when she got them. She would take a closer look at these "merit points" when she reached level 20.

"In the store", are there any good things that can be exchanged for?

The war was about to begin, and it was very important to keep up the energy. Chen Baiqi assigned the planned tasks one by one according to the situation. First, she took herself out to work alone, and did not act with the "Night Owl" team.

Next, she divided the 23 people into two teams, with Si Jiang and Ji Yun as their leaders respectively. As for the content of the mission, she almost told them both, and after getting their unanimous approval, she set up an ambush.

As for the other teammates, she thinks it doesn't matter if they don't understand what she says, as long as they are obedient and willing to work. Since the team's loyalty is 90%, she is not worried about them temporarily rebelling or running away.

Then, she thought, practiced, and clarified over and over again in her mind, so precise that no oversight was allowed in every step.

After she was convinced that there were no serious loopholes, she used Taisu Mai Jue to adjust her body functions to achieve the best possible condition for the challenge.

Recently, she has understood the reminder from the intelligent system when she was exhausted. She no longer deliberately chooses free time to practice, but integrates it into her daily life like breathing. She does not exercise almost all the time, although

The effect is more obvious than concentrating on practice, but day by day, the effect increases faster than concentrating on practice, and this allows her to invisibly enhance her cultivation even when she is busy.

In the dim forest of ancient times, the night is quiet, but only the cicadas and the croaking of frogs are left. A group of people wearing Hu clothing (the clothing of Xirong and Donghu) is much different from the wide and broad-banded Han clothing in the Central Plains.

The difference is that Hufu usually wear close-fitting shorts, trousers and leather boots. The clothes are tight and narrow, making it easy to move.) The team secretly travels in the forest at night without burning a fire.

Their steps were very light, but they walked very quickly. The metal knives on their bodies made no sound, and they moved erratically like ghosts in the night.

Tonight, the night was dim with stars and moon, and the forest was even darker with dense branches and leaves. This slowed down their usual speed a lot. Suddenly, there was a commotion and noise from the previous scout troops, including exclamations, falling sounds, and

The sound of mud rolling down made the armored swordsman in the middle startled. His eyes were dark and he immediately rushed up. Unexpectedly, his feet slipped and he slid down a slope without stopping.

It turned out that a big pit collapsed in front of a flat, wet mud road in the forest. Everyone panicked and quickly climbed up. Some people were lucky. When they fell into the pit, someone was already on the bottom, so it was just a big fall.

, but the first batch of scouts were miserable. There were many rocks and bumps under the pit, and many people stepped in the air and broke their legs. The screams were endless and it was difficult to climb up.

"What happened?" A stern voice shouted from behind not far away.

At this time, a group of elite swordsmen from the rear were also approaching. There were about twenty swordsmen in this group. Each one of them was over eight feet tall, with extraordinary aura and majesty. One of them was the one who spoke out the previous question.

"Your Majesty, it's a pit! It's such a big hole -" Someone screamed and clawed at the bottom of the dark pit, crawling up the dirt slope, and shouted upwards.

"Could it be an enemy attack?" the elite swordsman murmured in shock.

"That's wrong. If the enemy attacked, wouldn't we just dig a pit and wait for it? The pit should be filled with swords. It should be that the hunter dug a trap for us to step on by mistake." Someone shook his head and analyzed.

"I agree with Li Sou's point of view. Sir, you are so secretive in your actions. Besides, Pingling City is trying its best to deal with the large force attacking our city. I am afraid that it is already so exhausted that it has no time to care about the rear." Someone was very confident.

The earth agreed.

"Then let them come up quickly. It seems inappropriate to march in the dark like this. Let him wait for a few people to go to the courtyard and cover themselves with gauze to explore the way. The others will continue to move forward." The man who was called "

The man "Li Sou" thought he was more senior among swordsmen. When he gave an order, everyone did not dare to say anything and followed suit.

After a while, all the people in the pit were fished out. When the number of soldiers was reported, it was discovered that fifteen of the advance scouts who fell into the pit were seriously injured, and eight were slightly injured. These fifteen people fell off their arms.

Those with broken legs would definitely not be able to follow the large army on this trip, so Li Sou ordered the fifteen people to stay where they were for the time being to recover from their injuries, while the eight who were slightly injured were taken care of.

Obviously, such an arrangement is equivalent to abandoning these two dozen people. After all, there are no good medical medicines in the wilderness, and there are no good conditions to recuperate. They will be attacked by wild animals every minute, but no one objects. After all, the army does not leave waste.

Everyone with disabilities understands this, so the team continued moving forward without further delay.

After the Zhao army left, the twenty-three people did not dare to make a fire to darken the fire. They just took out some common herbs from their arms, chewed them up and applied them to the injured area. They cursed and complained to their companions around them: "This dog

The Chu people who are thieves are not good at digging holes, but they specialize in killing us!"

"Of course, if one day we are allowed to go back to the battlefield, we will definitely massacre all these thieves in Pingling County to relieve our hatred!"

"Hey! Let's not see a fire burning down their houses and killing all these common men of Chu!"

"I-uh!"

In the dim night, under the dim moonlight, a voice that was about to burst into anger suddenly stopped.

"Huh? Did someone speak just now?" In the darkness, Zhao Jun could only barely distinguish the outline of his companions at hand, while his companions further away could only distinguish people by their voices.

"It seems like - uh - poof -"

Another sound cut off halfway and made a weird sound of spraying.

The scouts of Zhao Jun suddenly panicked, their faces full of panic. They quickly helped each other get up from the ground, and stood back to back to take care of each other's backs to avoid being attacked by others.

"Ji Si——"

"Big Salamander——"

They shouted at the top of their lungs to the two people who had just stopped talking. Their voices fell in the silent forest, hollow and dark, but there was no response for a long time. For a moment, everyone's heart beat like a pounding. It was as if some wild charm had confused my mind, and I was so frightened that my brain was filled with sweat.

"Here, there seems to be something strange in this forest!"

"Are there any big insects, or...are blind bears showing up?"

"I, I, I, I don't know, but even if it's a big insect or a blind bear grabbing people, it should always grunt twice. It stops making no sound like this. It's so strange that it makes people panic."

"We'd better... let's light a fire, otherwise, then..."

"Hey, okay."

The man at the end was carrying a flint. He took out the flint with trembling hands and wiped the fire with "ta-ta-ta". Just when a spark started, he suddenly saw a blurred figure standing upright like this. In front of him, it was silent and strange, as if it appeared out of thin air. His eyes were wide open, like thunder and lightning, and he was completely stunned.

The next second, he subconsciously prepared to scream, but he only felt a cold sensation like an ice cube on his neck and throat. In the blink of an eye, the person was silent.

System: You successfully killed Zhao Jun's lurking unit x1, and gained 5000 experience points and 1 merit point.

Bang——

The ears of the others who had been waiting for the fire to start trembled, as if they heard the sound of something heavy falling to the ground. They were suddenly startled, and felt the cold hairs on their backs stand up. They shouted loudly to Fang Qian: "Hey, you are on fire!" Are you still alive? Are you so slow and slow?"

"Yes, you are touching the blind man!"

"Hey, hey, there seems to be something wrong. There seemed to be some sparks just now, but why did the sound disappear after a while?"

This time the speaker was closer to the person who had just struck the flint. He always felt that there was something dormant in the darkness, watching their every move with a pair of black and cold eyes.

"Yes, yes, you, you shout again?"

"It's such a small distance, who can say it's not the same thing?"

"Then go and have a look..."

"I, I won't go..."

"You dare to be bitten by a cat? Forget it, let's go together?"

"That, that's good."

There were two people who were far apart, so they groped forward step by step with their toes in the dirt. However, they accidentally kicked something after taking a few steps and almost fell down.

"Yes, what is it?"

"How do I know? You can touch and see?"

The two of them squatted down and looked up with squinted eyes. They saw that they had arms and legs, and they were clearly the same person.

They were startled at that time, and when they reached out and touched the body, they found that the body was still warm. It was obvious that it had just died, but it was exactly the person they were looking for.

"have……"

At this time, a cool breeze blew up behind them, and the wind blew across their necks like a cold blade, causing small bumps to pop up. They seemed to be strangled by someone's throats, and turned around with pale faces, just in time to get out of sleep. A ray of moonlight shone between the dense trees, illuminating their eyes full of terror. A figure could be seen slowly moving past Cong in the dark air.

It was a blurry mass at first, and then slowly condensed, with beautiful and feminine outlines, and her face fell into darkness. At this time, the night wind came from the forest, blowing her sleeves to bulge. For a moment, they saw that his feet were weak. When they hit the ground, their whole body seemed to be floating on the ground, and when they suddenly flew away, their consciousness was lost to the sky.

Although they couldn't see his face clearly, they felt that he glanced at them lightly, and a pale grimace suddenly appeared in their minds. There was no trace of popularity but green will-o'-the-wisps. He didn't say anything, but

They were so frightened that their souls flew away.

ah--

Damn it——

They were ready to scream, but they felt that they couldn't move faster than the figure. In the blink of an eye, a stream of blood came out from the joints of their throats, and then they fell to the ground with a "pop", stretching their legs and unable to scream anymore.

.

System: You successfully killed Zhao Jun's lurking unit x1, and gained 5000 experience points and 1 merit point.

Chen Baiqi succeeded in his attack and escaped into the darkness again. She raised her head coldly. The leaves in this locust forest were so dense that they almost covered the sky. Even if there was a glimmer of light, it would soon be swallowed up again.

All.

System: The surrounding visibility is less than 20%, and the special stealth effect of the dark undead cloak is turned on.

Chen Baiqi personally selected this dense forest, but she did not ask someone to dig the hole. The hole had been there early in the morning. She just found some dead leaves and branches to cover it, and used a simple terrain trap to trap them.

Leading the reconnaissance force, she found that this dense forest and the night were suitable for her to conduct an ambush, because of the special effects of the dark undead cloak, and the twenty-three Zhao army scouts who had been left behind had been half-baked.

Damn, she is basically invincible in the darkness.
