"I'll definitely keep my mouth shut," Su Yun said solemnly. Seeing Lu Chen like this, Su Yun naturally did not dare to be negligent.
Lu Chen paced back and forth, as if thinking about how to start the conversation.
"After so many years, Quicksand has gradually developed into a large scale. If it continues to develop like this, I'm afraid that in a few years, it will become a big trouble in the Southern Land." Lu Chen stopped and looked into the distance. "Don't doubt its potential."
"If that's the case, then let's wipe it out in the cradle." According to Su Yun's knowledge, Quicksand had already become a serious problem for the Three Kingdoms.
Hearing Su Yun's words, Lu Chen's eyes suddenly turned and looked at Su Yun. "That's exactly what I'm thinking. However, due to some reasons, we can't directly take action. However, it's necessary to suppress its development. And now, there's a chance!"
Su Yun was sweating profusely. He had been fooled!
"With Quicksand's background, how can it be easily shaken by ordinary people?" Su Yun said with a little guilty conscience.
"That's not necessarily true. If this mission is successful, it can set it back a few years!" Lu Chen said.
Su Yun was vigilant. "Does the dean know Quicksand very well?"
Lu Chen looked at Su Yun. This little guy was as smart as a little fox. He didn't ask any questions about the mission.
"Although we can't directly take action, it's not a problem to ask for some information." Lu Chen said.
"This mission was designed to deal with Quicksand's current situation, and the person who can complete this mission is none other than you." Lu Chen looked at Su Yun and said, "Do you dare to go?"
How could Su Yun not understand what he meant? "Can you guarantee my safety?" Quicksand was a den of fierce bandits. Personal safety should be the first priority.
Su Yun had never been so cautious before. After all, this was an unusual situation. Perhaps even Yixie was not 100% confident.
"If you agree, I'll give this to you first." Lu Chen flipped his hand and a scroll appeared.
A faint spatial fluctuation emanated from it, containing an extremely weak tearing force.
"This is … a Teleportation Scroll!" Su Yun exclaimed in surprise.
"It is indeed an Intermediate Teleportation Scroll. It only needs a trace of spiritual energy to activate it, and it can travel a thousand miles in an instant," Lu Chen said.
With this item, staying alive shouldn't be a problem.
Since Yixie was already interested, there was no harm in asking.
"Tell me more about the mission." Su Yun said. This Intermediate Teleportation Scroll could only be made by those below the Spiritual Supremacy Realm. He had already thrown out such a big bargaining chip. If he continued to be coy, he would feel somewhat apologetic.
Lu Chen smiled. This guy was quite tactful.
"This time, we captured more than a hundred Quicksand Mercenaries. They are the breakthrough point." Lu Chen said, "The plan is to send them to the West Sea. It's inevitable that there will be some accidents along the way …"
"When the time comes, follow these people to find Quicksand's base in Lin Yuan. We can do something to make Quicksand suffer great losses!" Xia Luokui said viciously.
Su Yun's lips curled. It turned out that they were preparing to create an "accident".
It was indeed a little risky to go deep into Quicksand's hinterland. However, with this Intermediate Teleportation Scroll, the danger was greatly reduced.
"What's the reward for this mission?" Su Yun asked. It seemed that it was really difficult to refuse.
"Well … just a Three-Striped Spirit-Cleansing Pill," Lu Chen said after thinking for a while.
A Three-Striped Spirit-Cleansing Pill! Su Yun's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
This pill was specially refined for the spiritual core. This kind of pill was of a high level and was extremely rare. If taken during a breakthrough, it would allow one to calm down and guard the spiritual core!
This was of great significance to Su Yun's breakthrough!
Could it be that Lu Chen already knew about the existence of the Fiend Dragon Spirit Severing Curse? Su Yun felt that this seemed to be a reward specially prepared for him!
However, no matter what, he could not refuse.
"Moreover, I believe that when you reach Quicksand's base, you will have unexpected gains." At this time, Lu Chen was like an old fox in Su Yun's eyes.
"Quicksand, I'll give it a try." Although Su Yun felt that he had been completely tricked, he could also feel that Lu Chen did not have a trace of malice. Moreover, he really could not find a reason to refuse.
"Take this first. As for the other information you need and the specific plan for this mission, Sherlock will tell you later." As Lu Chen spoke, a gentle spiritual energy dragged the Teleportation Scroll in his hand and slowly floated toward Su Yun.
Su Yun reached out and took it.
"I'll go take a look at Quicksand Mercenaries." After Lu Chen finished speaking, his figure disappeared into thin air.
What a fast speed! In Su Yun's senses, Lu Chen seemed to have disappeared into thin air and did not cause any fluctuations at all.
"Su Yun, this mission is no small matter. You can plan well in the early stages, but once you go deep into Quicksand, everything will depend on you," Sherlock said as he stepped forward.
"Well, then let's do the first step." Su Yun nodded.
"The situation of this mission is roughly like this …"
…
After leaving the forbidden zone, Su Yun let out a long breath.
"I'm afraid it's a tough nut to crack," Su Yun murmured.
"It seems that Quicksand is indeed related to the things in the forbidden zone!" Yixie's voice suddenly sounded.
"If that's the case, shouldn't I go even more?" Su Yun said.
"Your choice should be correct," Yixie said.
"There are still five days left. Even if it's for the Three Striped Spirit Clearing Pill, I have to go. Moreover, with this Intermediate Teleportation Scroll in hand, safety shouldn't be a problem," Su Yun said.
For the next few days, Su Yun stayed in the Celestial Pavilion and tried to break through, but the progress was extremely slow.
Until near noon on the fifth day …
Su Yun pushed open the door of the small pavilion and slowly walked out.
"It's almost time to set off." Su Yun was wondering if he should tell Xu Qian and the others, but when he thought of Lu Chen's promise to keep it a secret, Su Yun decisively set off.
"The Dragon's Shadow has already taken them to the West Sea. Let's go there now," Xia Luokui said when he saw Su Yun.
"Okay."
The two left the city and walked along an official road. After about an hour, they saw a group of tamed spirit beasts pulling a steel cage. Inside it were the most powerful members of the Quicksand Mercenaries. Behind the cage were some captives in the Spirit Master Realm.
"Twenty-three people, all of them above the Middle Stage of the Spiritual Leader Realm." Su Yun and Xia Luokui trailed far behind them to avoid alerting the enemy.
"The people inside are all the core members of the Quicksand Mercenaries. The person escorting them this time is not Lin Moyao, but the vice leader, Qin Long. " Xia Luokui said, "Once the effects of the drug wear off, these guys will definitely not be obedient. When the time comes, it's normal for some of them to escape."
"Understood." The two of them had already planned it out. Right now, they were just waiting for those guys to start fighting.
Although the large carriage was heavy, it was pulled by a group of Rank Three spirit beasts, so its speed was not slow at all.
Su Yun and Xia Luokui followed along. Almost two hours had passed.
"It should be about time," Xia Luokui said.
"With so many layers of defense, can they escape?" Su Yun was puzzled. With their current state, it would be difficult for them to break through this large cage alone.
"Don't underestimate these guys. There are many capable people in the Quicksand Mercenaries. I think there are still a few people who can break through this thing," Xia Luokui said.
As for the Quicksand guys' ability to escape, just by looking at Boötis Xiii, they could see the whole picture. Once they escaped, it would be difficult for them to stay. Last time in Lin Yuan, if it weren't for the Dragon's Shadow's large number of people, it would have been impossible to catch them all in one fell swoop.
But even so, there were bound to be some fish that escaped the net.
Just as the two of them were talking, an undisguised fluctuation of spiritual power came from afar.
"Sure enough, they've made their move!" Xia Luokui's figure flashed, and he directly leaped onto the treetops. He restrained his aura and stood in a hidden corner.
Su Yun also moved, and sure enough, he saw that the front was already in a mess.
The Dragon's Shadow's quality was extremely high. Although the Quicksand captives had begun to cause trouble, their defense was still very strict.
Acting should be seventy percent real, so they couldn't easily let those guys succeed in fishing in troubled waters.
Qin Long sat on the unicorn, turned around, and coldly looked at the noisy Quicksand captives behind him.
"Boom …" With a loud bang, some of the guys who had overestimated themselves had already made their move.
One of the Dragon's Shadow men moved as fast as lightning, and his spear reached out in the blink of an eye without mercy.
"Boom …" With another loud bang, the man who had made his move was sent flying by spiritual power and fell to the ground with a heavy thud.
"Those who try to escape won't be tolerated!" Qin Long's voice was as loud as a bell. With all his spiritual power, his voice echoed in the air.
It was an obvious warning to others. The captives, who had been in a mess earlier, quieted down a lot, but their little tricks still didn't escape Su Yun and Xia Luokui's eyes.
Qin Long, on the other hand, kept glancing at the cages. The ones he really needed to pay attention to were the ones inside.
Although Qin Long was a peak Spiritual Grandmaster, he didn't dare to be careless when faced with the peak Spiritual Overlord Stage Quicksand Mercenaries. They weren't worth mentioning in terms of combat ability, but their strange abilities were impossible to guard against.
"What?" Su Yun's face grew solemn. Someone seemed to be making a move in the cages as well, but it was very subtle.
Hearing Su Yun's words, Xia Luokui tilted his head and darted a look at Su Yun. Su Yun was quite observant as well. It seemed that he had made the right choice in assigning this task to him.
For some reason, the time it took for an incense stick to burn had passed, but those few sneaky fellows had yet to make a move.
"Was I wrong?" Su Yun began to suspect something after following them for a while.
Inside the cages, one of the captives had his body pressed against the iron, and there seemed to be a strange fluctuation coming out of him. It was very weak, and the frequency was almost like spiritual power. Because of the harmony between heaven and earth, the captives hadn't noticed.
"Wait a minute!" Sensing the subtle aura, Su Yun was alarmed. These guys weren't giving up so easily!
The weaker Quicksand captives following them hadn't stopped. The spiritual power in the area was agitated, and some of their little tricks were hidden!
So, they had planned this all along!
