Chapter 265 Conspiracy

Russell and Wen Jing rushed back to Jizhou Town.

After handing in the sublimated blood, they had no other tasks for a short time.

Soon, other teams also returned to Jizhou Town one after another.

However, there are always risks in carrying out tasks, and not all teams are as smooth as them.

Some teams even have elite cadres of the demon army, which caused a lot of trouble for some teams.

But injuries and even deaths are very common in the North Defense Army, and the atmosphere in the city is not particularly heavy.

However, Russell was a little doubtful about his previous judgment at this time: "Is it really just a coincidence that the team that Sister Wen and I encountered is relatively weak?"

He also went to inquire about it these days. Some of the other teams, like them, seized sublimated blood, but some did not, but instead seized materials for other experiments of the demon army.

"Forget it, it's useless to think so much."

Russell breathed a sigh of relief and suppressed his doubts in his heart.

In the end, it should be Kuang Shouzheng and his men who should consider these things, not him, a small deputy commander.

Just then, Russell's phone vibrated.

It was an internal encrypted communication, asking all the active Emerald-level card makers in the city to go to the tent.

Seeing that there were two or three fewer Emerald-level card makers in the tent compared to last time, Russell pulled the sleeve of Wen Jing beside him: "Sister Wen, the casualties this time should be relatively small, right?"

Two or three Emerald-level card makers are nothing for a border town of Jizhou Town.

But in other places, even the weakest Emerald-level card makers can easily suppress a small city without interference from the same level.

However, after hearing his words, the short-haired woman who always behaved heartlessly became serious: "No, every Emerald-level is a valuable talent of the Northern Defense Army. Even if only one person dies, it is a huge loss."

"But this is the Northern Defense Army. No one can tell whether they can see the sun tomorrow."

"Besides, Xiao Luo, why do you think we should shrink our defense line?"

You should know that the Ming Dynasty and the Demon Army have been deadlocked for many years. In the past, they were able to maintain a dynamic balance, but in recent years, with the increasing frequency of secret realms, the Ming Dynasty has been struggling to maintain the original long defense line.

Sighing, Wen Jing whispered: "In fact, it has something to do with Ye Diantang."

"If there hadn't been a hall-level secret realm in Shu, our Northern Defense Army wouldn't have been so hard."

After saying this, she seemed to have said nothing, and became the same look as before, as if she didn't care about anything: "Oh, Xiao Luo, don't think too much, that kind of thing has little to do with us."

"We just need to follow orders."

Hearing this, Russell nodded silently.

At this time, the commander-in-chief Kuang Shouzheng saw that everyone had arrived, so he said: "Everyone completed the last mission very well."

"It's just that I received another tip yesterday, saying that the demon army has another batch of experimental materials on the way."

As he said, the bald man glanced around at everyone present.

But Russell was a little confused.

"So fast?"

In his mind, if he was the commander of the demon army, it would be impossible to arrange two escort missions in a short period of time.

Because they lost so many convoys last time, the Shubei Army almost told you that I can intercept relevant information.

Just when Russell was about to report his guess to Kuang Shouzheng, he heard him continue: "But this time, I hope everyone will be more vigilant."

"It is very likely that this time it is a trap set by the demon army, but we have to go."

Hearing these words, Russell was stunned at first, and then he felt relieved.

Yes, what he could think of, how could Kuang Shouzheng, as the commander-in-chief, not think of it.

And what the bald man said was right.

This time the demon army used an open conspiracy.

Even if we tell you that we can intercept our messages, it doesn't matter. Come or not.

If you come, we'll have a real fight.

If you don't come, they'll take the experimental materials away.

The Shubei Army doesn't dare to bet that there are no important items in the experimental materials.

Thinking of this, Russell couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It still depends on whose fist is bigger."

At the same time, Kuang Shouzheng's last words also reached his ears: "The groups remain the same, everyone go back and prepare."

Russell didn't have any objection to still being in the same group with Wen Jing.

Not to mention that the other party took good care of him during the mission, just in terms of the degree of tacit understanding, it must be that the two of them have been running in for a while and have a better tacit understanding.

I just don't know if Wen Jing's previous partner died or was transferred to another place.

Just as he was thinking this, Wen Jing put her arm around his shoulders in an awkward manner: "We are going to meet the elites of the demon army this time, Xiao Luo, are you really okay?"

"Don't be so stubborn, otherwise I won't be able to explain to Lord Zhang if something happens."

Russell knew that the short-haired woman was concerned about him, and he pretended to be deep and said: "There is no opponent ahead of us."

"?"

Wen Jing shuddered and immediately moved away from Russell, then whistled as if she didn't know him.

The breeze blew up the snow on the ground, and the anti-skid tires left traces.

In the middle of the large convoy, a humanoid demon with a leopard face was reporting to the three demon army cadres who were resting with their eyes closed in front of him: "Three adults, we are almost at the place where the accident happened last time."

The cadre sitting in the middle replied without opening his eyes. "Got it, let the people below pay attention to the movements around."

"Yes."

In the distance, Russell and Wen Jing were lying on another high slope.

At this time, because of the thick snow, there was nothing unusual from the appearance, not to mention that Wen Jing also used the card ability to hide their breath.

"Three."

"Sister Wen, do it now?"

Wen Jing shook her head slightly when she heard it: "Wait until they walk away and relax their vigilance."

As she said, she couldn't help but glance at Russell's belt.

After lurking for so long, she had secretly glanced at it several times, but still couldn't see anything special.

But before setting off, the young man swore that this was his life-saving trump card, but nothing changed after wearing it.

The reason why Russell did this was naturally to learn from General Duanmu's fine tradition of never leaving his belt.

Seeing the convoy going farther and farther away, Wen Jing retracted her gaze and shouted in a low voice: "Do it!"

No mistake, one sentence, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

The next moment, Xiao Wu had already appeared behind the convoy in the distance.

But unlike the last time, this time the black and white ruthless death god was stopped without harvesting many lives.

"Boom!"

The deafening sound splashed the snow all over the sky.

"It's you, the high-risk target [Four-winged Demon·Unnamed]."

At this time, a voice came from behind the falling snow.

And Xiao Wu also heard that the owner of the voice was Yale, who had fought with him in the siege last time.

He threw the emerald green spirit spear in his hand, and a hollow mark was instantly pierced on the snow.

Ignoring the attack that had brushed past his body, Yale turned his head and looked at the other two demon army officers beside him: "My ability should have been approved, right?"

"Go ahead and do it, the master has agreed."

Hearing this, Yale smiled.

"Boom!"

A dull heartbeat sounded, and the low-level demons on the scene covered their hearts one after another, looking painfully at Yale not far in front of them.

Then countless blood gathered in Yale's hands.

At this moment, behind him were dried corpses that had been drained of blood.

Without any defense, the scarlet blade instantly passed over the original position of Xiao Wu, leaving a long scar on the ground, and the blood stains were particularly conspicuous on the white snow.

"Do you think this trick can shake me?"

A ruthless voice sounded, and Xiao Wu's intact figure instantly appeared beside Yale, and the spirit spear in his hand stabbed the other party fiercely.

"Ding Ding Ding!"

Emerald and scarlet intertwined.

The two had fought many times in just a few seconds.

The other two demon army cadres naturally wanted to go to support Yale, but unfortunately Wen Jing's card had already entangled them.

"As expected of a high-risk target, it's really difficult to deal with."

The blood blade swept across, and Xiao Wu raised the spirit spear in his hand and wanted to block it.

But what he didn't expect was that at the moment the two came into contact, the blood blade suddenly broke, and then condensed again on the inside of his arm.

The next moment, a pale right arm flew high and fell on the snow, stirring up a flurry of snow.

"What a pity."

Seeing this, Yale smacked his lips and looked at Xiao Wu, who appeared in the distance, with a headache.

In the eyes of the demons, Xiao Wu's broken right arm was recovering at a high speed at this moment, and it was restored to its original state in a few breaths.

"So you cards with unreasonable recovery abilities are shameless!"

Yale attacked Xiao Wu again with some irritability, waving the blood blade in his hand unscrupulously around.

Scarlet light scattered everywhere, and trees within a radius of several kilometers were cut in half by Yale's attack, and the surrounding snow was covered with spots of blood.

However, Xiao Wu, who had suffered a loss once, would not be fooled again.

Since close combat could not defend against the opponent's attack, it would be better to switch to long-range mode.

Avoiding the blood blades that kept coming, Xiao Wu lightly tapped his index finger, and several black flashes cut through the air and shot towards Yale.

It was not that he did not want to use the Thunder Gun, but in such a large-scale attack, even if there were any experimental materials, they would have turned into ashes long ago.

As the two fought, the snow gradually disappeared, revealing the dark brown frozen soil.

Russell, who was far away, watched Yale splattering blood all around, and muttered in confusion: "Is the amount of bleeding so exaggerated?"

At the same time, Yale's originally irritable expression calmed down instantly, and a bloodthirsty arc appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Do you really think I will just stalemate with you?"

"I got you!"

As his voice fell, the scarlet blood stains that gradually spread across the battlefield since the fight with Xiao Wu suddenly turned into blood arrows and shot towards the direction of Russell and the others.
