Chapter 116

The three of them arrived at the large tent in the headquarters. It was already filled with the captains and squad leaders of the various platoons. Qian Rong Yao was still sitting on the large wooden stump. Seeing Guo Shier and the others enter, he nodded his head and said, "Alright, is everyone here?"

The 1st Platoon's captain Qian Yiming said, "Sir Qian, everyone is here."

Qian Rong Yao said, "This is a routine meeting. Everyone knows that today is our 1st Platoon's turn to patrol. We will immediately start assigning tasks."

"Same rules. 1st, 2nd and 3rd Platoon will be responsible for searching the middle road. 5th and 6th Platoon will be responsible for the left road. 9th and 10th Platoon will be responsible for the right road. The other platoons will be responsible for guarding the base. En, it's the 10th Platoon's first time doing a mission.

Yu Lan was the 9th Platoon's captain. She was an Intermediate Talisman Saint Master. She said, "Sir Qian, we should let the 10th Platoon stay and transfer the 8th Platoon to patrol with us." There was a hint of complaint in her tone. It was as if she was unwilling to patrol with Guo Shier's platoon.

Qian Rong Yao said, "It's not like you don't know that the 8th Platoon's captain is sick. Without the captain, how can they go on a mission?" He then said, "Alright, pack up and prepare to leave. Captain Guo, you stay here."

Guo Shier agreed and stood there with the other 3 squad leaders.

Qian Rong Yao said, "It's your first time on patrol. Let me explain the mission to you. The main mission of our camp 27 is to patrol regularly. If we find any mutated humans ….. If there are few of them, we will kill them. If there are many of them ….. we will immediately send out a warning talisman. There will be teams from other camps coming to hunt them down. At this time, you don't need to fight them head on. You just need to return to camp. "

Guo Shier nodded his head in agreement.

Qian Rong Yao said, "Mutated humans are very easy to recognize. You will know when you see them."

Guo Shier asked, "I have a question. Are mutated humans proficient in talismans like us?"

Qian Rong Yao shook his head, "They are not proficient in talismans like us. However, they are innately proficient in talismans. There are even some that we are unable to grasp. However, their numbers are not as many as us ….. Here is information on mutated humans. Take a look." He threw a talisman to Guo Shier.

Only then did Guo Shier bid his farewell and leave.

Mutants were a special race in this world. They were similar to humans, but they were not humans. They had the same appearance as humans, but they were taller and more muscular. What was scary was that they were the natural enemies of humans, especially to professionals. Among them, there were a few mutants who had the ability to deprive professions of skills, and could integrate this skill into their own bodies.

Mutants included Mutants. They were those who had been deprived of the skills of their professions and gradually grew to become Mutants. These Aberrations were the truly powerful ones. They were comparable to experts at the Void Spirit Realm.

Guo Shi 'er broke out in a cold sweat. Mutated humans. The souls of these mutated humans could be extracted by professionals just like the souls of mutated rune beasts. After a certain amount of refinement, they could be used by professionals to increase their soul power.

From this point of view, the two sides were natural enemies, and it was almost impossible for them to get along peacefully.

Last time, Guo Shier had seen the imprisoned mutant, but he did not take a closer look. The only thing that left a deep impression on him was the huge size of the mutant, but he did not pay much attention to other aspects. At that time, he did not know that Mutants and Professionals were mortal enemies.

By the time they arrived at the camp of the Tenth Platoon, Guo Shier had already finished reading everything. He passed the talisman to Falconer and said, "Uncle Falconer, take a look. This world is really strange. Mutated humans. We might have to deal with them in the future."

Falconer didn't look at it. He put it into his talisman bag and said, "Shier, go gather the team."

Back at the camp, they immediately gathered the team. The team of more than two hundred people gathered in less than thirty seconds, and Guo Shi 'er was very satisfied. The laziness and lethargy of this team could no longer be seen. Instead, it was replaced by vigor and a strong will that moved in unison.

Guo Shier said, "Okay. I hope everyone can come back from this mission! Remember, we are a team, not a pile of loose sand! Let's go! "

Everyone lined up neatly and walked towards the field.

Falconer said in a low voice, "Our mission is mainly to patrol, not to fight. It's just that this point system is really annoying. Killing a mutated human gives us 10,000 points. It's a good income when it's distributed to each team member. But if it's just a report, only 1,000 points will be given to the platoon. After the patrol mission is completed, only 2,000 points will be given. Isn't this forcing them to risk their lives?"

Guo Shier already knew that the points for a mission were very few. How many points could be earned from a mission depended entirely on how many mutated humans they found. If they didn't find anything, they would only get two thousand points, which would be in the single digits for each team member. No wonder the Hawk Demon was cursing.

He said, "Let's play it by ear." He was used to storing a lot of supplies. This time, he finally had a place to use them. At least he felt at ease. The supplies he brought with him were enough to last for a long time. He didn't care about the points. Although points meant inheritance and promotion, Guo Shier didn't need them. He only needed a chance to leave the Weir Region.

If he could find a secret realm and transfer to another continent, Guo Shier was confident that he could break away from the control of the Gu Hirong family. But now he had no chance at all. He could only wait quietly and do his best to improve his strength. It would be best if he could reach the Great Saint Master level.

They came to the field. A total of eight teams were scattered on the field. Only Guo Shier's Tenth Platoon was neatly arranged. Each team formed a square formation. Three square formations lined up together, exuding a somber aura that no one dared to look down on.

But this kind of formation was too strange. The professionals here had never seen it before. They all curiously pointed at it. Guo Shier didn't care. He took the three captains with him and stood straight like the rest of the team. Especially Guo Shier and Falconer. Their gazes were like knives sweeping back and forth. Those professionals who met their gazes turned their heads and didn't dare to look at them.

Soon, eight flying cars landed. There was one flying car for each platoon. Qian Rong Yao led the first, second, and third platoon into the flying car at the front. Guo Shier's Tenth Platoon was the last flying car. He led the team in.

Guo Shier entered the flying car and said, "The flying car can only send us to the Illuminating Abyss area and wait for our return. Saucy Bull, how many times have you been to this road?"

Mad Bull had already accepted this nickname. He said, "I've been there countless times. This road is not easy to walk. There is a strange airflow in the air. Even with a flying talisman, only Saint Masters and above can barely fly. The others can only walk all the way."

Guo Shier was surprised. "No flying talisman? How is that possible? "

In the Chenxiao Sect, even a talisman master had a flying talisman. Moreover, flying talismans weren't hard to make. Guo Shier didn't expect that there was someone in his team who didn't have one.

Mad Bull said, "Flying talismans have to be exchanged for with points or made by yourself. But in this damned place, how can we find the materials? That's why many people don't have a flying talisman. "

Guo Shier asked, "How many people don't have a flying talisman? Raise your hand! "

After counting, Guo Shier found that there were more than thirty people without a flying talisman. He nodded. "When we get back, I'll make one for everyone." Those who didn't have a flying talisman cheered. At this time, the flying car had already taken off and was flying towards its destination.

After flying for half a day, the flying car arrived at its destination.

The tenth platoon's professionals got out of the flying car. Qian Rong Yao had already set off with the first, second, and third platoons. The team on the left had also just left. Guo Shier's tenth platoon was responsible for the right. Yu Lan's ninth platoon was also with them. Guo Shier's flying car was at the back, so other than the eight flying cars on the ground, only the ninth and tenth platoons were left.

Yu Lan's platoon did not wait for Guo Shier's platoon and immediately set off.

Guo Shier shook his head. He found that there was no coordination at all here. Almost all the teams were minding their own business.

"Saucy Bull, this is the Shining Abyss?"

Mad Bull said, "Yes, this is the Shining Abyss. From here, we will soon enter a wide canyon, about a hundred miles wide. We will be responsible for patrolling this canyon. This canyon ….. is called the Broken Bone Gorge."

Guo Shier asked, "Why are there mutants in this canyon? Where does the canyon lead to? How long is it? "

Mad Bull shook his head. "I don't know. This patrol route is predetermined. The rest is not explained."

Guo Shier smiled bitterly. "Damn it. We don't know anything. What's the point of patrolling?" He thought for a moment and said, "Falconer's team, follow me. Mad Bull's team on the left. Ning Xin's team on the right. Everyone move in small groups. Disperse!"

Mad Bull and Ning Xin led their teams in separate directions.

Guo Shier and Falconer walked at the front of the team. The two of them chatted as they walked, looking very relaxed. The place was extremely desolate. After walking for about half an hour, they saw towering peaks that pierced through the clouds. It was also barren and desolate. There was not a single plant growing on the steep peaks. The dark brown rocks looked like dried blood stains. Not far away, they could see the wide canyon.

Falconer said, "This must be the Broken Bone Gorge!"

Guo Shier nodded. "Yes, this is the canyon. It's huge ….. The weather here is really hot."

It was close to noon, and the scorching sun baked the land. The rising heat waves distorted the scenery in the distance. The temperature on the ground was extremely high. Guo Shier estimated it to be at least 60 degrees. Fortunately, they were all professionals and could withstand the heat. But they were extremely thirsty.

As they approached the canyon, they saw some broken bones on the ground. Moments later, the platoon entered the canyon. Guo Shier exclaimed, "How many lives must have died to cover ….. so many bones!"

The ground was full of broken bones. As they went deeper into the canyon, the bones actually piled up and cracked as they stepped on them. Guo Shier smiled bitterly. "Broken Bone Gorge ….. That's really apt. The ground is full of broken bones!"

Falconer suddenly said, "My soul feels uneasy."
