"Liu Chengzhi, what happened?" Lu Yunxian asked Liu Chengzhi, who was receiving treatment, in front of the medical team's bed.
Liu Chengzhi's injuries were shocking. Under the treatment of a Companion Beast with healing abilities, his life was saved. However, his injuries still needed a longer period of treatment.
"Battalion Commander, quickly tell Adjutant An that Madam Lan is trapped in the ruins. Quickly send reinforcements. It will be too late if we delay any longer," Liu Chengzhi said anxiously.
"Adjutant An entered the ancient ruins two days ago. Didn't you encounter them?" Xu Wen asked.
Liu Chengzhi was taken aback when he heard that. He shook his head and said, "Adjutant An has already entered the ruins? Why didn't I see them? I escaped from the ruins and rushed back with all my might. I didn't see anyone. "
"That's strange. Tell me clearly. What happened to Madam Lan?" Lu Yunxian asked.
Liu Chengzhi hurriedly said, "We entered the ancient battlefield with Madam Lan and encountered many strange things. However, under Madam Lan's lead, we arrived at the ruins where Old Mister Ouyang and company were researching without any mishaps. That place had already become extremely strange. Many of our Companion Beasts were sacrificed there. They were all beheaded and killed. In the end, it was Madam Lan who came up with a solution that allowed us to safely enter the ruins."
As he had lost too much blood, he felt his mouth dry. Liu Chengzhi swallowed his saliva and continued, "In the ruins, we found an entrance that led underground. We also found a mark left behind by Old Mister Ouyang. In the beginning, we used many Companion Beasts to scout the way, but there weren't any problems. However, after Madam Lan led people down, the entrance to the passageway was sealed. The few of us who stayed outside tried our best to open the stone door. "
"What happened next?" Xu Wen pressed.
Liu Chengzhi panted a few times and continued, "After more than three hours, the stone door at the entrance automatically opened. Old Qiu rushed out. At that time, Old Qiu was covered in blood. The color of his military uniform was almost indistinguishable. He rushed out and handed me a strange stone artifact. In a very urgent tone, he said that he wanted to hand the stone artifact to Adjutant An and get him to bring people down to the ruins to save Madam Lan. Otherwise, it would be too late. "Back then, he was too anxious and spoke incoherently. He even said that the stone artifact was the key to opening some door and that he had to put it back to open the door to save Madam Lan. He said that he had to be quick or it would be too late. He repeated it a few times and the few of us couldn't interrupt. Just as we were about to ask, Old Qiu suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and died."
"What about the stone artifact?" Lu Yunxian asked.
Liu Chengzhi's face revealed a look of guilt. "Even people like Madam Lan and Old Qiu can't deal with the situation in the stone passageway, much less us. After some discussion, we planned on bringing the stone artifact back to report, but the ancient battlefield is just too terrifying. A few of our brothers died there, and I barely escaped. However, on the way, the stone artifact was swallowed by a dimensional creature with a wyrm head and a lion-like body. It's all my fault. I didn't manage to keep the stone artifact … "
"Do you still remember where the dimensional creature is?" Lu Yunxian asked after some thought.
"I know the rough location, but I don't know if the dimensional creature is still there," Liu Chengzhi said.
"Alright. Xu Wen, do your best to treat Liu Chengzhi's injuries. Everyone else, prepare to set off at any time," Lu Yunxian said.
"Commander Lu, since Adjutant An has already gone, I'm afraid it's useless for us to enter, right?" a middle-aged officer said.
Lu Yunxian said, "When Liu Chengzhi and company returned, they didn't encounter Adjutant An. Therefore, even if Adjutant An arrived at the ruins, he wouldn't know of the existence of the stone artifact, much less that it had been swallowed by the dimensional creature. We have to find the stone artifact and send it to him."
"We can't do much, but killing a dimensional creature shouldn't be difficult. Furthermore, there's Liu Chengzhi, who is familiar with the situation, so there shouldn't be any problems. Go prepare," Lu Yunxian said in an unquestionable tone.
Now, Lu Yunxian's rank was the highest here. Since he had already made the decision, no one questioned him. They returned to make preparations to enter the ancient battlefield.
Xu Wen also wanted to go, but she was rejected by Lu Yunxian. Lu Yunxian wanted her to stay behind and take care of Zhou Wen. He couldn't let anything happen to him.
"Commander, let me go. My healing abilities can reduce many casualties. Zhou Wen can be taken care of by the medical team's female soldiers," Xu Wen requested again.
"Stay behind and take care of Zhou Wen. This is an order. If anything happens to Zhou Wen, he will be dealt with according to military rules. There will be no mercy," Lu Yunxian said firmly.
Although he had spoken casually, he knew deep down that the ancient battlefield was too dangerous. Their trip was fraught with danger, so he didn't want Xu Wen to take the risk.
Xu Wen opened her mouth, but she couldn't say a word. She was a soldier, so she could only obey Lu Yunxian's orders. However, she was extremely indignant.
Zhou Wen was gaming in his room, but he kept wearing the Truth Listener earring. He could clearly hear the nearby movements.
When Liu Chengzhi returned, it was a little far from where Zhou Wen lived. Zhou Wen didn't hear it, but when Lu Yunxian's men began preparing to set off, he heard the commotion.
When he walked out, Lu Yunxian and company had already boarded the vehicles and set off. Two jeeps and a huge truck were driving out of the camp.
Zhou Wen realized what had happened. Seeing Xu Wen standing at the entrance of the camp, he walked over and asked, "Head Nurse Xu, what happened? What are Commander Lu and company doing? "
"Why are you asking so many questions? They are going to the ancient battlefield to save people. Do you dare to go? Go back and play your games, "Xu Wen said snappily.
Xu Wen believed that if it wasn't for Zhou Wen, she wouldn't have been left behind.
"They are going to the ancient battlefield to save people? Who are they going to save? Ouyang Lan or An Sheng? "Zhou Wen was alarmed as he hurriedly asked.
"Whoever they save has nothing to do with you." Xu Wen didn't wish to say too much to Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen frowned slightly. He knew how dangerous the ancient battlefield was. That was why the An family had invited so many Epic experts from outside. However, if Commander Lu and the low-ranking officers were to head to the ancient battlefield, it would be no different from sending themselves to their deaths.
"Head Nurse Xu, I believe you still don't know that Ouyang Lan is actually my mother, right? I hope you can understand my feelings and tell me what happened, "Zhou Wen said when he saw that Xu Wen refused to tell him what had happened.
"Who are you lying to? Madam Lan only has two children, the Overseer and Miss An Jing. Do you think you are the Overseer? Or Miss An Jing? "Xu Wen said with a curl of her lips.
"You should know about Ouyang Lan's remarriage, right? I'm the son of her remarried husband. Who do you think I am to her? "Zhou Wen said.
Xu Wen looked at Zhou Wen in disbelief.
