It was a very admirable phrase to say, "Die before you die."
When this phrase was said, it meant that the person who said it had the heart to sacrifice themselves for something.
But there were also very few times when the person who said these words would almost die before they could even dedicate themselves to something.
When the somewhat absent-minded Feng Po returned to his cave residence, he woke up from his disheartened state. He was stunned for a long time before he slapped himself a few times.
"How could Master be that kind of person, what am I thinking … …"
It seemed that after saying these words in a bitter tone, Feng Po felt slightly better. The conversation he had with Master not long ago, in the form of fragments, flashed through his mind.
Every time he thought back, he saw his master's gaze of praise or gratification.
Every time it flashed, he could hear the importance Master placed on him, and the expectations he had for him.
Every time it flashed, his blood would boil, and he would be moved. It would make him feel that he had died a worthy death.
When he thought about it … …
He truly calmed down.
Some things that others forced on him, he could not accept.
When he came to his senses and realized that the things that others forced on him were actually things that he was willing to do, his attitude would suddenly change.
But at the same time, Feng Po's facial features also changed.
If it was said that the Feng Po of the past, his facial features gave others a feeling of gentleness and elegance … …
At that moment, his face had an uncontrollable edge to it, as well as an apathy.
He did not know the minute changes in his appearance. He started to think about the military order he had just received.
"Enter deep into Burning Sun Valley, scouting is secondary, contact is primary … …"
This was a scout.
He was not a normal scout.
Normally, scouts were elites. They had to engage in all kinds of battles that had no bottom line. They had to ensure their own survival before they could complete the mission of scouting the enemy.
The xiuzhe that had this military order didn't just have to do the above two things, they also had the responsibility of communication.
Contact what?
Contact who?
What was the point of communication?
… …
Wait.
Feng Po did not know.
The only thing he knew was that he, who had the responsibility of communication, needed to go deep into places that normal scouts would not go.
Due to this, a scene naturally appeared in his mind.
In the scene, there was a team, and he was among them.
Looking from the sky, the army was behind the Demons, and the human army was in front of the Demons.
Little by little …
He had a feeling.
He felt that his life was heading towards a black hole that would devour everything.
And that black hole was not his destination.
He needed to pass through the endless darkness, fear, and death to reach the other end of the black hole.
"Heh …"
It was a meaningless laugh. There was no fear mixed in it, and it couldn't even cause a ripple in his heart.
Perversely, his thoughts actually extended to how to achieve this.
"How can I achieve this …?"
His train of thought had just started when it stopped abruptly.
He didn't know.
Just like how he didn't know why he was smiling.
Someone who was in a similar situation as Feng Po …
There were a total of 29 people in the camp.
While the upper echelons of the Four Great Heavenly Sects were struggling over the ultimate benefits …
An elite team of 30 people had been given the important task of entering the Scorching Sun Valley and getting in touch with the soldiers trapped inside.
This was the first battle plan that the upper echelons had come up with to attack the Scorching Sun Valley.
The plan was very small in the overall situation, but its importance was not small.
"According to the statistics of the soul tablets, there are at least 500,000 soldiers left inside …"
"500,000 soldiers who have gone through a terrible battle and survived until today. How terrifying is that? I don't dare to imagine! "
"Their combat power may be lacking, but as long as we can get in touch with them and cooperate with us, no matter what the Demons are planning, they will be attacked from the front and the back and will fall into chaos!"
"And with this chaos, the Demons will collapse under the pressure of the human army!"
"They won't collapse, but the word chaos is enough to give us an advantage … When the time comes, we can slowly nibble away at them!"
"More importantly, we can only confirm what that lord is looking for if we can't get in touch with them …"
"Ahem, there's no need to say these words in this situation. Everyone knows it. What I'm worried about now is what if we can't get in touch with them? Do we need to change the plan? "
"Isn't it too early to think about this now?"
"Scheming to lose before calculating victory. Fellow Yu Fei, don't you even have this bit of accomplishment?"
"Okay, okay, this is a discussion. Everyone can say what they want to say, there's no need to target each other …"
… …
Even though the plan had been completed long ago …
Even the elite team of thirty people had been properly formed …
The discussion continued on for several days.
In these few days, there were all kinds of discussions, and the process was mostly intense …
But no one who was qualified to participate in this discussion talked about anything related to the survival of this elite team, or even their future.
Even Elder Mu, who was famous for being protective of his children, would rather have an intense debate with the three Quasi-emperors on a seemingly unimportant topic, and did not think of Feng Po's voice and smile even once.
After the discussion ended, a few days later, Feng Po, who was sitting alone in the cave dwelling adjusting his condition, was finally brought to an inconspicuous place in the encampment of the human army.
"This is …"
"This is where your team stayed before you set off …" For some reason, the person who led the way was very amiable and said with a smile, "In the following month, the thirty of you must not only familiarize yourselves with each other, but you must also understand each other. If you can improve your teamwork, it will be of great benefit to completing the mission."
To this, Feng Po deeply agreed.
However, when he followed the person who led the way into the cave dwelling and sensed the cultivation auras of the twenty-nine people that could form a crushing force on him, he was greatly shaken by the idea that he had just expressed his deep agreement with.
"Late, late Heaven's Equal …"
Of the twenty-nine companions, the lowest cultivation level had already passed through the Seven Paths of Heaven's Equal, and among them, three had an imposing aura and were even almighties of the Eight Paths of Heaven's Equal!
Not to mention this …
The iron-blooded aura that these twenty-nine almighties exuded was even more terrifying than what he had seen from his master, Elder Mu!
Just as Feng Po's mind was filled with thoughts of whether there was some kind of misunderstanding, and whether there was a big shot in the human army who had passed through the Seven Paths of Heaven's Equal by the name of Feng Po …
"Him?"
"Early stage?"
"There must be a mistake …"
"If that's the case, then I'll withdraw!"
"Nonsense!"
"What a joke!"
"Haha, are you planning to laugh me to death and then inherit my inheritance?"
…
Feng Po had never thought that …
Even if he wanted to fulfill his filial piety to his master and then die, he did not have the right to do so. This was because the first thing he had to face was not the black hole of the Scorching Sun Valley Demons, but the rejection of his companions.
