However, just as the new stars received the news of the mission, another piece of news spread like wildfire throughout the border city and the military.
The leader of the Bloodthirsty Vanguard, a Level 1 Martian Grade Lin Hu, had been killed.
The killer had left a name beside his corpse.
More importantly, this name belonged to Liu Xing, who had once caused a sensation in the county city!
Many people guessed that Liu Xing was a bounty killer from the missing head. At the same time, the news spread that the mission of the pervert Zhao Kui had been taken away.
Zhao Kui's mission had been taken away after Lin Hu's death. Everyone connected the dots.
Liu Xing wanted to kill Zhao Kui.
This news undoubtedly boosted the morale of the border city. At the same time, it made the new stars depressed.
"Hmph, Liu Xing actually came to the county city. If I meet him, I'll definitely fight him to see who's better."
"Liu Xing's current net worth is only 200,000, but he dared to take the mission to kill Zhao Kui. I wonder if he's stupid or ignorant."
"The Bloodthirsty Group's base camp, Eagle Ridge, isn't far from the turtle's back. I'll definitely kill Zhao Kui before he does."
On the way to the turtle's back, the new stars were unconvinced. Ren Wuxing and Li Moling even announced that they were going to the Bloodthirsty Group's base camp.
"Hmph, Liu Xing is the only genius in the county city."
Xiong Ziyi suddenly said while everyone was debating.
The new stars of the county city were even more unconvinced by the beauty's mockery. They all clamored to go to Eagle Ridge.
"Zhou Yang, is she looking down on you?"
Tang Yuewu avoided Murong Zhenjie and came to Zhou Yang's side with a smile.
"What does it have to do with me if she looks down on me?" Zhou Yang shook his head.
"She's a beauty. Don't you like beauties? I heard that you recently bought a beautiful servant girl. Why … look at your weak appearance. Your body must have been hollowed out," Tang Yuewu mocked.
Everyone snickered. Xiong Ziyi looked at Zhou Yang in disgust. Her eyes were filled with mockery.
"Where did you learn these words from?" Zhou Yang frowned.
"I've learned a lot in the army these days, but I don't know what they mean. Can you tell me why you feel weak and hollowed out when you're with a beautiful girl?" Tang Yuewu asked, puzzled.
Zhou Yang was speechless. He shook his head, and hurried to catch up with Guo Dazhuang. He didn't want to continue talking to Tang Yuewu.
Although Tang Yuewu was puzzled, she knew that it wasn't something good. She didn't want to ask anyone else. When she saw that Zhou Yang wasn't paying attention to her, she pouted and started to walk on her own.
"All troops, listen to my orders. Rest where you are. The turtle's back will arrive in fifteen minutes."
Xiao Lin, who was at the very front, shouted. Everyone could not help but stop in their tracks. Their eyes were filled with eagerness.
Finally, the battle was about to begin.
While resting, Xiao Lin pointed to a hill ten miles away and said, "That's Turtle Back Mountain. It's the road that leads to the Soaring Eagle Ridge. The Soaring Eagle Ridge used to be the territory of the Dragonmight Country. Once we pass the Soaring Eagle Ridge, we'll actually be in the territory of the Nanman Country."
"I know that everyone wants to go to Eagle Ridge, but with less than a hundred of us, we'll just be throwing our lives away. Our mission this time is to attack Turtle Back Mountain."
"General Xiao, although we only have a hundred people, half of them are genius rising stars. With your leadership, what's there to fear about the Bloodthirst Group?"
"That's right. Once we've conquered Turtle Back Mountain, we'll destroy the Bloodthirst Group. We'll let all of you witness the glory of our county's geniuses."
Everyone stood up and cheered, but Xiao Lin wore a disdainful expression.
"I'm afraid you won't even be able to occupy Turtle Back Mountain."
Xiao Lin glanced at the crowd and ignored them. Instead, he carefully observed Turtle Back Mountain in the distance.
Zhou Yang had been observing as well. Before coming, Xiao Lin had said that Turtle Back Mountain's terrain was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Moreover, the other party had three hundred people, led by a Nanman Country rising star who was at the Martian Realm Level Nine.
On the Dragonmight Country's side, although Xiao Lin was a Mercury Realm warrior, he did not participate in the battle. He only watched. Zhou Shaoyu, who was publicly acknowledged to be the strongest, was only at the Martian Realm Level Eight. His strength was probably on par with the Nanman Country rising star.
It was difficult to win. However, Zhou Yang did not care about winning or losing since his father was no longer around. He only cared about battle merits.
Fortunately, his vision had become stronger after the improvement of his mental strength last night. He could clearly see the terrain and even the war flag at the highest point even from five miles away.
Apart from that, he also sensed that his mental strength had gained an amazing ability — the ability to predict.
Prediction was different from prediction. Prediction was just a legend, but prediction was indeed based on facts. However, this required extremely strong perception and judgment.
He had once heard from Si Mayan that the improvement of one's mental strength would bring about countless benefits. Prediction was one of them. If one cultivated it to a higher level, they could even use their mental strength to detect what was happening 50 miles away. This was somewhat similar to prediction.
"Everyone, look. What's that?"
At that moment, Ren Wuxing suddenly stood up and pointed at Turtle Back Mountain in surprise.
Everyone stood up at the same time and saw three swaying balls of light appear on Turtle Back Mountain. These balls of light emitted a faint white light and looked like fireflies at first glance.
"What's that?" Li Moling was puzzled.
Xiao Lin frowned and said after a while, "These should be the Dazzling Golden Spheres that the Nanman Country specially prepared. Everyone must be careful."
"What does the Dazzling Golden Spheres do?" Ren Wuxing asked.
"They can affect your vision and weaken our combat strength."
"Haha … I was wondering what's so great about the Nanman Country warriors. It turns out that they're just some insignificant tricks. They're simply unpresentable." He Yunfeng looked disdainful.
Xiao Lin did not say anything and merely smiled faintly. Then, he rode on the black tiger and said, "Let's go."
At the command, everyone hurriedly got up and rushed toward Turtle Back Mountain in excitement.
In a moment, everyone had gathered at the foot of Turtle Back Mountain. The eyes of the rising stars lit up and they could not wait to rush up to earn battle merits. Meanwhile, the other half of the army warriors stood still with grim expressions.
"Everyone, follow me and kill these barbarians."
Before Xiao Lin could say anything, He Yunfeng took the lead and rushed over. In an instant, more than half of the rising stars followed suit.
"You guys go too." Xiao Lin shook his head and said to the army warriors behind him.
Soon, the team of more than a hundred people was reduced by more than half. The rising stars used their lightness skills and stepped onto the slope that was not steep.
Zhou Yang did not rush up. There were many people like him who did not rush up, including Zhou Shaoyu, Murong Zhenjie, and the others.
Zhou Shaoyu and the others wore arrogant expressions, clearly disdainful of rushing up with the others. Meanwhile, Zhou Yang wore a vigilant expression.
Was it really just an insignificant trick?
He was very doubtful. The Nanman Country had a strong martial arts culture. There were no martial arts academies, sects, or families. All warriors would enter the army after the age of fourteen. In terms of combat strength, the Nanman Country warriors were superior to the Dragonmartial Country.
