On October 4th, after almost 1 month's march, Iron-Dragon Airboat and Zhang Tie's disciples finally arrived at Pingsha Valley, Longxi Prefecture, Zhongzhou Province.
After entering Zhongzhou Province in late September, they had seen airboats and airships flying towards Zhongzhou Province from all directions. Iron-Dragon Airboat would encounter 3 batches of knight-level powerhouses from all over Zhongzhou Province every day. As for those unknown knight-level powerhouses who were patrolling the ground in the sky, Zhang Tie could meet 10-20 of them every day.
As for battle airships, Zhang Tie's disciples could see hundreds of battle airships flying over the ground like fins every day. Once something happened, the elites on the airships would directly drop off the airships. All the elite squads being led by fighters above LV 10 were dispatched by the military of Taixia Country, who could kill a small troop of bloody figures.
On the ground, the garrisons from all over Longxi County had set up checkpoints in every major city. Armored vehicles and temporary small battle forts could be seen everywhere. Bounty hunters from all over the Longxi County had also gathered in groups and appeared in the wild, hunting down the remaining blood men who had scattered in all directions.
It was not a battle anymore; it was a siege hunt.
On the ground, Liu Xing's disciples would encounter some squads of bounty criminal hunters every day. Meanwhile, they also witnessed and cooperated with an elite squad of the military of Taixia Country to encircle and annihilate a small troop of bloody figures in the wild.
At the sight of such a scene, Zhang Tie knew that the riot of bloody figures in Zhongzhou Province would almost die down under the joint efforts of all parties in Taixia Country after over 1 month.
This riot of bloody figures was caused by a sudden wildfire. It burned out as fast as it burned out.
Over 100,000 LV 9 bloody figures were terrifying. In other subcontinents, this force could match that of the demon corps led by the demon general. It was absolutely subversive.
However, the most fatal point of this army of bloody figures was that they were not led by knight powerhouses and lacked high-end battle force. As long as these bloody figures gathered together, they would easily become the targets of knights. They would not be able to fight back at all and would be easily scattered. As a result, they could not form the united force of a great army.
As long as any troop was scattered, it could only become a mob and roving bandits. This was why Zhang Tie saw that those bloody figures constantly split into small troops of bloody figures in their memory. Although these bloody people could cause great harm wherever they appeared, as long as they showed themselves, what awaited them would be a situation where they were surrounded from all sides and attacked from all directions. Just this point alone determined their fate. They would definitely be short-lived and would not be able to last long.
Additionally, although these bloody figures looked as same as Hua people, they could not speak. Additionally, people could easily identify their identities based on their eyes. Like a natural identification system, they could barely be confused with each other.
On the evening of October 3rd, Zhang Tie's Iron-Dragon Airboat camped in the wild over 400 miles away from Pingsha Valley. On the same evening, the sky turned gloomy while it started to rain heavily. In the morning, the heavy rain didn't stop. As a result, the water level of the brooks and rivers in the wild rose sharply while the roads became muddy.
Last night, due to the heavy rain, the airboat had been suspended from 1 m above the ground to 10 m above the ground for the sake of safety. On the next early morning, Zhang Tie had come to the command room on the top of the airboat. He was observing the weather outside through the crystal protective wall in the command room.
Although the heavy rain could not be heard inside the airboat at all, Zhang Tie could still see the scenery outside through the crystal protective wall.
It was grey in the sky. The visibility was very low. The rivers which were pretty clear yesterday had become completely turbid. Additionally, the water level had risen sharply. The crystal protective wall had been blocked by the rain curtain. Numerous raindrops converged into fine streams on the crystal protective wall. After turning on the wiper, Zhang Tie could see the scenery outside clearly. The water in the diversion groove on one side of the head of the airboat flew off the diversion opening like a 10-m high waterfall, drawing a white line and falling onto the ground below.
Although it had rained some times in the past one month, it was not as heavy as today.
"Tell Liu Xing and the other disciples that this one-month survival training has come to an end. We don't need to leave today. We will fly straight to Pingsha Valley..." After considering it for a few seconds, Zhang Tie turned around and told someone to inform Liu Xing and his disciples.
Over the past one month, Zhang Tie had already reached his target. His disciples had already become like fellow disciples. Everybody was united with each other. The team atmosphere was very good. Liu Xing had also established his reputation as the eldest senior fellow apprentice. He had practiced and experienced what he should experience. He had even brought back 134 heads of bloody figures. Even his two nephews could grit their teeth and complete the trek together with the team in the last 10 days. Zhang Chengxu was very ferocious. In the following days, as long as they chopped off a bloody figure's head, he would carry it back. Zhang Chengze was a bit boring. Although he was not as ferocious as his elder brother, he could also bear hardships. After coming back these days, Zhang Tie knew that this little guy would polish his surging points for 2 hours each day before going to bed.
If it was in peaceful times, of course, Zhang Tie didn't want his two nephews to be exposed to such bloody things at such a young age. However, it was in the holy war. Even though 11-12 years old boys didn't go to the battlefield, they could still be exposed to such bloody things. If Zhang disciples passed out at the sight of blood, how could they protect Jinwu City and the industries of Jinwu Business Group in the future?
When they received Zhang Tie's order, Liu Xing had just adjusted the distribution of the two squads. Those who were slightly wounded yesterday were in the rear squad. Soon after they put on their raincoats, they had received Zhang Tie's order from a bodyguard of Bai Suxian. At the beginning, all of them became faintly stunned. However, after confirming that it was not a joke, they all cheered up at the same time while shouting and jumping...
It finally came to an end.
To be honest, over the past month, everyone had been working very hard, but no one complained. Many people gritted their teeth and endured. This sudden order to everyone was like a student trapped in school suddenly hearing that there would be no more classes from today onwards and that everyone would have a holiday. It was simply a surprise from the heavens.
"Ahh, I can finally have a lie-in!" After hearing this news, Zhu Dabiao who had become much thinner took off his raincoat as fast as he could and walked towards his own room.
"Dabiao, where are you going?" Sun Zhan shouted.
"Senior brother Sun, I will go back to my room to take a nap!" Zhu Dabiao who was spirited just now couldn't stand to yawn.
"It's still less than 1 hour from here to Pingsha Valley!"
"It doesn't matter. Half an hour is still half an hour. A moment in the morning is worth a lot of gold. Senior brother Sun, you don't know how much thinner I've become over the past one month!" As Zhu Dabiao said, he pinched the flesh around his waist through his military uniform and made a painful expression.
All the other female disciples burst out into laughter.
"You call this thinner? Each time you caught a prey in the wild, you ate 3 people's share!" Sun Zhan muttered.
"If there's a chance in the future, I will invite senior brother Sun to eat as much as you want!"
Not only Zhu Dabiao hurriedly walked towards his own room, all the other female disciples also wanted to go back to their own rooms after cheering for a while.
"Junior sister apprentice Zhou, do you want to go back to take a nap too?" Sun Zhan shouted.
Among the 7 apprentices of Zhang Tie, Sun Zhan was the most active and humorous one. Therefore, he was the most popular one among all the apprentices and could get along well with all of them.
"Senior brother Sun, let's go back... let's change our clothes..." Junior sister apprentice Zhou said shyly with a blush.
Sun Zhan smirked, "Junior sister apprentice Zhou, tell me which junior brother apprentice you like, I will be your matchmaker!"
"Senior brother Sun, you're so bad. I will not talk with you anymore..."
After being teased by Sun Zhan, Junior Sister Zhou's face turned even redder. She didn't say much and left. A few bold female disciples even fiercely rolled their eyes. In any case, everyone knew that Senior Brother Sun was a smooth talker. He wasn't a bad person and wouldn't fall out with others over small matters.
All the female disciples left in the blink of an eye. When Sun Zhan was still wondering about that, a hand heavily patted his shoulder. Without turning around, Sun Zhan had known that it was Ma Kuicheng. When Ma Kuicheng's big hand fell onto Sun Zhan's shoulder, his voice drifted into Sun Zhan's ears, "Don't you know that beauty comes first and life comes second for all the women? Over the past 1 month, these junior sister apprentices have been wearing the same military uniform as men. They have long been bored; especially when they saw master's wife Bai standing beside master like a blooming peony. If you don't let them dress up and change their clothes, they will fight you to death!"
Sun Zhan was enlightened.
...
Zhang Tie also heard the cheers of his disciples.
Hearing the cheers, Zhang Tie suddenly recalled that when he was a sophomore in the No. 7 Male Middle School in Blackhot City, he was so happy that he wanted to jump up and cheer up when he heard that the school would have a one-week holiday to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the founding of Andaman Federation...
'How long has it been since I experienced such a simple and direct pleasure? '
At that time, he had no money. At most, he only had a few copper coins a day. At that time, he was weak and always imagined that he could light his Shrine burning point one day. At that time, he didn't have any woman on his side. He was just secretly in love with Miss Daina, the goddess of all the boys in the No. 7 Male Middle School.
But at that time, he could feel this simple and direct joy at any time. Whether it was because of a few more days of school holidays, or because his elder brother suddenly brought him a worthless gift from the army, a new set of clothes, or a new pair of leather shoes, it could make him happy for many days. He would jump for joy and feel that his life was full of sunshine …
Zhang Tie suddenly became absent-minded, 'Does the so-called maturity mean that I can't have such a simple and direct pleasure anymore?'
At this moment, the airboat had already set off. It was flying higher and higher towards Pingsha Valley through the curtain of rain.
At this moment, Zhang Tie heard footsteps and a fragrance behind him.
Zhang Tie turned around and watched Bai Suxian as he asked, "Do you think that the higher you are, the less happiness you will have?"
