Chapter 174: Night Charm Abyss
Chapter 174: Night Charm Abyss
When it came to plastic bag retrieval, Lu Ran was undoubtedly an expert.
He had already broken through Lang Zexuan's defenses.
As everyone finished registering, Lang Zexuan was still muttering to himself, "High school, high school..."
Qiao Yuansi couldn't help but laugh and tapped Lu Ran, "Don't play with Lang Ge like that!"
Lu Ran pouted, "You're laughing pretty hard yourself."
As Lu Ran followed the team, he asked quietly, "Do you know him?"
"Mhm," Qiao Yuansi nodded, her arm around Lu Ran's. "Our team has three people, and Lang Ge has led us once."
"He's a Thunderbolt Follower, and when he fights demons, he's incredibly powerful!"
A Second Rank God·Thunderbolt Follower?
Lu Ran's heart stirred; this believer was very restrained!
Because among the Thunderbolt sect, there was a Divine Art·Thunder Roar!
This was a battle cry technique that could make those who heard it dizzy and stunned, even causing them to freeze on the spot.
Lu Ran often used Evil Art·Evil Perception, which made him more perceptive, but also doubled the damage he took when facing Thunderbolt Followers!
In battle, especially when fighting the Night Charm Clan, any moment of hesitation could be fatal!
No, he had to tell this brother later that he must not use battle cries.
As they descended around the stone pillar and entered the Night Charm Abyss, Lu Ran thought.
"Hmm?"
The night wind blew, causing Lu Ran's hair to dance wildly.
Lu Ran looked up at the night sky, his face full of surprise.
The moon?!
It looked just like the moon, equally bright as a jade plate, casting down a radiant glow.
The scenery of the Night Charm Abyss was quite pleasant. As far as the eye could see, there were undulating mountains, lush trees, and it all looked very dangerous!
Lu Ran looked down and saw a grand stone city.
The high walls and towering towers were heavily guarded.
As soon as everyone stepped off the stone pillar, they saw a middle-aged female soldier.
"Just the five of you?" The female soldier's gaze swept over everyone.
Lang Zexuan immediately said, "Sister Zhang, I'll accompany them."
The female soldier nodded and distributed headlamps and invisible earpieces to the group, "I'm Zhang Ya, and I'll be leading you through this training.
For the next week, I'll be with you the whole time."
Guan Yiren didn't want too many people, but the military still assigned a soldier to the team.
Zhang Ya was in her forties, looking very capable and obviously an experienced warrior.
She continued, "Since you have the qualifications to enter here, it means you have some strength.
I've led many young talents like you, and casualties are inevitable."
Zhang Ya didn't shy away, her gaze sweeping over everyone, "I don't think they died at the hands of the Night Charm Clan."
As she spoke, Zhang Ya looked at Guan Yiren, her target was clear:
"I think they died because of their arrogant and prideful hearts."
Guan Yiren remained silent, like a person without emotion, his gaze cold as he looked at the female soldier.
Zhang Ya suddenly turned to look at Lu Ran.
Qiao Yuansi immediately hugged Lu Ran tightly, feeling that this aunt was very strict.
Zhang Ya emphasized, "Focus on your training; this isn't a place for romance!"
Lu Ran: "She's my younger sister."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ya's expression softened slightly, "Take good care of her."
Lu Ran: "..."
You sure changed your attitude quickly!
Zhang Ya looked at the three young men, "Are you three protecting them?"
Niu Zhengzheng scratched his head, "Am I that old?"
Xiao Yusong: "Dust Shadow Follower, Fifth Stage River Realm."
Lang Zexuan: "Thunderbolt Follower, Fifth Stage River Realm."
Zhang Ya nodded and introduced herself, "Green Phoenix Follower, Second Stage River Basin Realm."
River Basin Realm!
And a Second Stage at that?
Lu Ran was secretly amazed; this middle-aged female soldier in her forties was so powerful?
For these young masters and young ladies from the capital, the military's protection was indeed high!
After all, Green Phoenix was only a Sixth Rank God.
The believers they recruited were generally not high in talent, and their strength was naturally not impressive.
Perhaps only in big cities or extremely dangerous demon caves would one encounter such a level of Green Phoenix Follower!
Zhang Ya looked at Niu Zhengzheng, "What about you?"
"I'm a West Wilderness Follower, First Stage River Realm," Niu Zhengzheng moved closer to Lu Ran, distancing himself from the two brothers.
Zhang Ya cleared her throat and said, "You've all had experience fighting the Night Charm Clan, right?"
"Yes!"
"Yes," everyone responded.
"Good, then I don't need to emphasize again and again how terrifying the Night Charm Clan is." Zhang Ya turned and walked away.
The group quickly followed.
Zhang Ya walked alongside them, saying, "Recently, many teams have been heading north to carry out missions, so it's relatively safer here."
Lu Ran took the opportunity to approach Lang Zexuan and said in a low voice, "Brother Lang?"
Lang Zexuan looked at Lu Ran curiously.
Lu Ran apologized, "I have particularly sensitive hearing, and I'm quite talented in this regard.
During combat, could you use the War Roar technique less often?
Or when you use the Divine Art: Thunder Roar, could you stay a little further away from me?"
However, Lang Zexuan was firm in his response, "Brother Xiao and I are here to protect you. If you can handle it, I won't intervene.
But if you're overwhelmed, I must do my best to save you!"
Xiao Yusong looked at Lu Ran, thinking he would say something.
Unexpectedly, Lu Ran nodded decisively, "Of course!"
"Of course?" Lang Zexuan was also quite surprised.
After all, Lu Ran was one of the first to be selected for Heaven's Pride, which was like an official endorsement from the Xia Dynasty!
Given his young age and remarkable achievements, he was expected to be full of pride.
Unexpectedly, this young man was quite easy to talk to?
"Of course we should save people," Lu Ran smiled and nodded, "I'll just tell you not to take action, right?"
Lang Zexuan: "..."
Xiao Yusong couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Hahaha!"
He also thought that Lu Ran was quite easygoing.
But it turned out that Lu Ran was quite proud!
Lang Zexuan looked uncomfortable and patted Lu Ran's shoulder, "No, little brother!
Are you saying this in the Night Charm Abyss? Are you really not afraid of getting slapped in the face?"
"Human lives are at stake, what does it matter about face?" Lu Ran shook his head, "I'm just setting a goal for myself and trying my best."
Lang Zexuan looked at Lu Ran with a strange expression, then turned to Xiao Yusong beside him, "Isn't this a bit interesting?"
Up ahead, Zhang Ya listened to the conversation and silently nodded.
As the team approached the North Gate, she asked, "Who is the commander of this squad?"
"Me!" Qiao Yuansi immediately raised her hand.
Zhang Ya nodded and emphasized, "During your training, I'll try to let you fight independently as much as possible.
But once I give an order, you must follow it unconditionally! Otherwise, I'll expel you immediately. Do you understand?"
"Yes, we understand!"
"Yes!"
"Let's go." Zhang Ya led the group to the base of the city wall and exited through a small gate.
The torch path outside the city was quite sparse and was clearly not prepared for the students' training but was used for guidance.
It's worth mentioning that although this abyss was in darkness, the visibility was very high!
It was like a clear moonlit night in the countryside, free from light pollution.
Although the group was wearing headlamps, they barely needed them.
"Alright, you can take over now." Zhang Ya gestured to Qiao Yuansi.
Qiao Yuansi immediately said, "Niu Zhengzheng, you go ahead and be ready to use the Divine Spell: Western Wilderness Body at any time!
If the situation turns bad, activate it immediately, or you'll get taken out by the Night Charm!"
"I can't do that!" Niu Zhengzheng held a great axe and walked forward.
"I'll go with Sister Yi Ren in the middle." Qiao Yuansi picked up an eight-sided lantern and looked at Lu Ran, "Brother, don't go out and fight alone, okay?
This place is too dangerous, and I'm a bit worried if you go out on your own."
"Okay." Lu Ran nodded and followed, knowing that with Zhang Ya's strict leadership, it was impossible for team members to leave the squad.
Guan Yi Ren spoke up, "You stay with Niu Zhengzheng, and if you notice anything, report it immediately."
"No problem." Lu Ran immediately walked forward.
Lu Ran was clear that Guan Yi Ren had called him over because of his intelligence-gathering abilities.
To ensure future opportunities to train in such special abyss, Lu Ran knew he had to perform well.
"Yuansi, the forest is ahead," Niu Zhengzheng shouted.
In the moonlight, the forest was eerily silent, making one's heart race.
"Don't worry." Qiao Yuansi waved her hand confidently, "My brother is right behind you!"
"Alright!" Niu Zhengzheng shouldered her great axe and stepped into the forest, "Brother Lu, let me know if there's anything!"
"Don't worry." Lu Ran said in a deep voice as he quickly unpacked the cloth and drew out a pair of knives.
Whether the Night Charm Divine Statue could advance to the River Basin Realm would be determined in the next seven days!
"Hurry up!" Lu Ran urged, "Don't be afraid, just keep moving forward!"
The evil demon nanny of Little Fox was already waving at me!
Niu Zhengzheng: "..."
Why don't you go ahead?
