"How is the progress with the Iron-winged Eagle and the Howling Moon Silver Wolf?"
Chen Yi suddenly turned his head and asked, and Yao Changkang answered directly without raising his head.
"We just reported back ten minutes ago and are still cleaning up the Wei soldiers on the periphery, but compared to us, their progress is slightly slower."
"Huh? It's a little slower. How could it be? The strength of both of their clans is not weak. The strength of the two leaders is probably the best among the fifth levels. They have smelted several innate essences and are ready to break through the innate ones.
That kind of thing.
A bit more fantasy, they are all quasi-innate-level mutant beasts."
"Hey, Commander, you don't know something right now."
Yao Changkang smiled and said directly without showing off.
"These Wei soldiers were probably at the fifth level before they were alive. Now that they are dead, and after being turned into puppets, their strength has also reached the level of the fifth level.
Then they seemed to have some fighting instinct left, so they acted in small groups and cooperated tacitly.
There were so many of us that we started attacking before they came out from the ruins, so we didn't form a team.
It's different over there. They form a small team of five by five, cooperate tacitly, and have a good balance of offense and defense. That's not easy to deal with."
Chen Yi suddenly pushed Yao Changkang's shoulder, making him look at Chen Yi in surprise.
"Is it that kind of military formation?"
Yao Changkang turned his head and nodded.
"Yes, it's like that. With tacit cooperation, a row of halberds are raised, oh, good guys, if the cavalry rushes forward, they will be stabbed into skewers..."
Yao Changkang suddenly reacted, and his face suddenly turned dark.
"Damn, there's no manpower over there, and all the teams have been formed now. These are in trouble."
Chen Yi looked up and down at the five Wei soldiers who formed a team. They were now like wild monsters in a game.
It had its own warning range, which Chen Yi could clearly see at a glance, but those Wei soldiers seemed to be wandering around stupidly as if they couldn't see that there were Wei soldiers being attacked here.
"It feels much dumber than before. Did their control center collapse during the previous bombing?"
Chen Yi guessed, then turned to look at Yao Changkang.
"It's okay, you continue. If it's just a five-person team like this, and it won't affect the whole body like before, with the strength of the Howling Moon Silver Wolf and Iron-Winged Eagle, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"Hey, Commander, you are wrong, this has to involve the restraint relationship of a military unit.
Both the Iron-winged Eagle and the Moon-Screaming Silver Wolf are mutant beasts with high speed, high agility, high attack, low defense, and low tonnage, similar to lancers and light cavalry.
And what about the Wei warriors? All-purpose heavy-armored troops, each with a straight halberd. There are also Wei warriors behind them who take out their iron bows and shoot, the moon-whispering silver wolf and the iron-winged eagle. They are very pregnant."
Chen Yi: "...it's really hard for them."
"No, the lance our elephants ride on is several feet long. The key is its weight. If you throw it away, it will be a heavy weapon.
There is also an elephant rider who can roll up his sledgehammer with his trunk. When he swings it, the strong wind roars. The armor can hold it, but the Wei warriors inside can't, and they often die after a few hammer blows.
This is probably because the armor has the effect of absorbing shock and force, otherwise ordinary fifth-level soldiers would be in trouble if they still dared to receive a hammer from an elephant head-on."
"Well, that's a good thing. It puts me at ease, but I have to be more vigilant. I'm afraid they can't play with them openly and just come here to play dirty."
"Understood. I specially set out a few people to keep an eye on it, and there is always a group of crossbowmen on standby."
"Okay, by the way, what are Sun Jun and the others doing?"
"They, well, they were not far from us, and they caught a lone Wei soldier and beat him hard.
When they saw the sharp weapons on Wei Wuzu's body, they almost went crazy and their eyes were red.
But they pose no threat, and only Sun Jun has just broken through to the fifth level, so he can be pushed away by any elephant rider."
"Okay, let's not be stunned, let's go together and speed up the progress. Our ultimate goal is not this.
This is just a node in our journey, so we can’t waste too much time.”
Chen Yi still remembered that Cao Cao entered the Mausoleum of the First Emperor long before them, but now there was no trace of him.
The key mentioned by Fang Fan put a lot of pressure on Chen Yi.
He knew that Cao Cao had the jade seal in his hand, and he also knew that Cao Cao most likely used the jade seal to open the Mausoleum of the First Emperor.
There are various signs that the jade seal is the key to the small world of the imperial mausoleum.
But in this case, will the Yuxi also be the key to entering the core area of the small world?
Chen Yi didn't dare to bet. If so, Chen Yi couldn't pin his hopes of completing the mission on Cao Cao's blindness.
Completing the tasks assigned by Fang Fan is Chen Yi's goal. Likewise, this is Chen Yi's bottom line and will never waver.
Yao Changkang nodded, jumped up, climbed on the elephant's neck, picked up his lance and was about to fight with Chen Yi, but at this moment, a burst of cheers rang out.
Before they had time to take a closer look, an elephant came trotting over on horseback.
"Commander, deputy commander, the Qing Kai has arrived. We have successfully cleared out the ruins of a palace. Please hurry up and get there.
You have a table and a light mask, so you can’t see clearly what’s inside.”
Chen Yi and Yao Changkang looked at each other and without saying a word, they drove the elephant cavalry towards the palace.
In a few steps, he arrived at the palace and dispersed the few people who were watching.
"What are you looking at? You are so busy. Hurry up and clean up the Wei soldiers and hurry up. We are in a hurry now!"
Chen Yi gave a low shout, and the several elephant riders who were watching immediately dispersed and continued to clean up Wei Wu's soldiers.
Chen Yi and Yao Changkang got off the elephant's back and walked into the half-collapsed palace.
The palace is not big, and the entrance no longer exists, replaced by a pair of rocks.
At this time, a barely passable cave entrance had been cleared between the pair of ruins, and it was a bit dark.
"Commander, be careful not to cause another collapse."
"It doesn't matter if it collapses, it won't kill you."
Chen Yi said directly, just took a long knife from his mount, held it in his hand, and squeezed in sideways.
This palace is not big, quite small in scale, with only a few rooms. After passing through two broken doors, after turning a corner, a slightly more luxurious palace appeared in front of Chen Yi.
There is a coffin in the center of the palace. Even after many years of baptism, the coffin is still intact.
Chen Yi took a look and said, well, the coffin boards were nailed quite tightly.
Looking forward, there is an offering table in front of the coffin, with a faint white shield on the offering table.
"Commander, this is it. It's a defensive shield. We don't dare to act rashly."
Chen Yi nodded, and after a little research, he slashed at it with a strong and heavy sword.
clang!
Another knife, boom!
With two cuts, the shield exploded and turned into dots of white light and disappeared.
There is a tray inside, with a scroll of bamboo slips, a jade pendant, and a black bead on it.
Chen Yi suddenly felt that the beads looked familiar. When he picked them up and looked at them, his eyes widened.
