Demon battlefield, thirty miles outside Qian City.
The five of them, Gu An, gathered together, looked at the map in Song Yunlong's hand, and analyzed the route forward.
"The semi-emperor-level demon is at the junction of the front and the middle of the area they occupy. If we want to get there, we must first pass through their outer defense line."
Song Yunlong pointed to a long red line on the map and said.
"It's easy to get in, but the question is how to get out after we succeed?" Zhao Qubing said.
Gu An and others all knew what Zhao Qubing meant.
They will definitely be extremely careful when entering and avoid all sentries, but once they collide with that semi-emperor demon, they will definitely disturb other demons.
At that time, it is very likely that the entire area will take action to hunt them down, and it will not be that easy to figure it out again.
Xiao Qianming looked at the map and pondered for a moment.
"It doesn't seem to be a big problem. I saw on the map that there is only one semi-emperor-level demon in that area, and the others are only high-level kings at most, and there are only one or two.
The others are monsters in the middle and lower levels of the king level, or even less than the king level.
With our strength, we should be able to deal with them easily."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Xiao Qianming as if he were a fool.
"Have you considered the cost of fighting the semi-emperor demon?" Song Yunlong asked.
Xiao Qianming was stunned for a moment and scratched his head in embarrassment: "Haha, this... seems not to have been considered."
"Be more confident and remove the word 'like'." Zhongxin said.
Xiao Qianming: "..."
"Forget it, there's nothing you can do about it now. Let's investigate it carefully after we go in and then make a decision."
After Gu An and others nodded, Song Yunlong put away the map.
Just when the five of them were about to set off, Gu An suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Qianming asked.
Gu An smiled: "Senior Brother Xiao Shu, we have discovered you, come out."
"Haha, I didn't expect to be discovered so soon! I'm planning to give you a surprise!"
Xiao Shao smiled and ran over from a distance.
"Senior Brother Xiao Shu, what are you doing?" Song Yunlong asked after taking a look at Xiao Shu's attire.
I saw Xiao Shu wearing black dragon armor, holding a big sword in his hand, waving it twice, and said matter-of-factly.
"Do you still have to ask? Of course I will hunt monsters with you!"
After a pause, Song Yunlong asked: "You... know what we are going to do?"
"I'm not sure exactly, but I saw the five of you moving together, so there must be something good going on! I'm sure I'm right to follow you!"
Xiao Shao had an eager expression on his face.
"Then, wait a moment and we will discuss it."
"Okay, but hurry up. I specifically asked General Xiao Qian to come over for a shift change."
Song Yunlong nodded, pulled Gu An and others aside, and began to discuss.
"What do you say? Do you agree with Senior Brother Xiao Ju to go?"
"According to the rules, we can only take action with five people. I don't think it's appropriate." Zhao Qubing said.
"Bingyangzi, I agree with you. I think we can let Senior Brother Xiao Shu go with us. The rules say that the five of us are going to deal with the semi-emperor level demon.
For other demons, they didn't say that no one else was allowed to take action. If we weren't worried that too many people would alert the enemy, I would have asked my father to prepare more manpower for us.
After we complete the mission, Senior Brother Xiao Shu can help us deal with other king-level demons." Xiao Qianming was a little excited, and he couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up for what he just said.
"I have no objection." He said sincerely.
Now, Gu An is the only one left.
Gu An saw several people looking at him and pondered for a moment: "I think we actually lack a recorder."
"Recorder?"
"The one who used the memory crystal to record the image of us killing the semi-emperor, and used the image to prove that we had indeed completed the mission."
Simply put, he is a photographer.
Regarding the video recording, Gu An initially planned to wait until he arrived at his destination. He would open the memory crystal and place it far away to record the entire battle process.
Although the viewing angle was relatively limited, there was nothing Gu An could do.
Now that Xiao Shao is here, he can be a photographer for once.
"Well, it doesn't seem to matter. After something like this happened in the past, other countries could know what happened through their channels, and no one thought you would break the rules."
Hearing Xiao Qianming's question, Gu An shook his head: "Not necessarily this time. Senior brothers, think about it. The Alliance of Nations had to wait until twenty years had passed before they brought up the idea of letting us, Da Gan, join the Alliance of Nations again. No one can guarantee what reasons they will use to shirk it."
When everyone heard Gu An's words, they fell into deep thought.
At this time, Xiao Shao's shout came from a distance: "How is it! Is the discussion over?"
Song Yunlong took a breath: "I think what Gu An said makes sense. No one can guarantee that the Alliance of Nations will not make things difficult for us again."
Zhao Qubing pondered for a moment: "I agree."
Xiao Qianming naturally agreed, but Zhongxin didn't care, so it was settled like this.
"Senior Brother Xiao Ju, we agreed, but I need to say something in advance. Our operation this time is more dangerous, so during the operation, I hope you can listen to my instructions." Song Yunlong said.
"No problem! I don't want to go if it's not dangerous!" Xiao Shu said excitedly: "Hey, are we going to sneak attack on a small camp of demons this time?"
Xiao Qianming came over, smiled and put his arm around Xiao Shu's shoulders: "No, but don't worry, it will definitely be more exciting than this."
"It's even more exciting than this! Then I'm looking forward to it!" Xiao Shao laughed and embarked on the road forward with Gu An and others.
…
Ten days later.
In a cave behind the outer defense line of the demon-occupied area in the demon battlefield, Gu An and others were sitting here to rest.
I was worried that the demon would be disturbed, so I didn't light a bonfire.
And for this reason, they walked very slowly. It took them ten days to get through the demon's defense line.
Since their spirits had been highly tense, everyone except Gu An was a little tired and sat against the wall without speaking.
At this time, Xiao Sha's doubtful voice came from inside the cave.
"I said, where are we going? If we go further inside, we will reach the area controlled by those semi-emperor-level monsters or even emperor-level monsters?
Are you planning to go to the territory of a semi-emperor-level demon to steal things?"
This question has puzzled Xiao Shao for a few days.
At first, he was very excited. When he saw Gu An and others sneaking into the demon defense line, he thought they were going to sneak attack on a small demon camp.
But as time went by and they slowly went deeper, he discovered that something was wrong.
Because of his ambitious words at the beginning, he did not ask.
But now that he has passed through the entire demonic defense line and arrived here, he can no longer hold back.
