[I'm already safe. What about you?]
[I'm currently near the enemy camp. There are quite a number of patrolling cavaliers and scouts on the way. Zhao Deyan will not let me go so easily. Hurry up and leave. I'll think of a way to go back.] When he received Yu Yan's messenger pigeon, Happy instantly released a sigh of relief. He took some time to reply before he continued to be one with his horse.
Maintaining one with the horse required him to use up quite a lot of qi. Even if he activated Nine Yang Divine Skill, he still found it a little hard to handle. In less than two minutes, he ate three Small Reversion Pills, and his qi finally returned to Life and Death Realm.
'Forcefully increasing my steed's movement speed is the same as me continuously activating Petite Dragon!'
But Happy did not dare stop.
The strength Zhao Deyan displayed far surpassed his expectations. He originally thought that if he could escape from Zhu Yuyan's hands safely, he would have an easier time fighting against the other evil cult elites, but he did not expect that …
Universe's Lightning Destruction Style could not pose any threat to Zhao Deyan at all.
'Aside from that strange soft armor, Zhao Deyan's strength is not that easy to deal with. Myth Realm elites … I underestimated them a little too much.'
At the same time Happy lamented in his heart, he also noticed that he had been a little too arrogant over this period of time.
At the end of the day, he had relied on the terrain and his advantage in Nine Yang Divine Skill to kill Jinjiu and Yinshi in Sky Demon Secret Cave. If he were outside, he might not have been able to kill them so easily.
Even though his sword technique had increased, his body fortification and lightness skill had also improved, and he had even secretly learned Ten Thousand Sword Styles, it was not enough to reduce the distance between him and Myth Realm elites.
When he thought of this, Happy could not help but reevaluate his strength and judge the difficulty of the quest.
'Zhao Deyan is an elite with a reputation in the evil cult, and he also holds the important position of the Mongolian army's military adviser. This means that if I kill Zhao Deyan, I will get 2,000 points, which is equivalent to the points of being a famous elite in the evil cult, and 5,000 points, which is equivalent to being a general.
If he were in his previous life, Happy might have only been able to make this deduction with his keen senses, but after he went through many quests, he had a rough idea of some of the settings in the system, and he knew that the system would not give players any loopholes, which was why the settings were very balanced.
The number of points was directly related to a person's strength.
This meant that …
If Wan Wan's combat power was two thousand points, then Zhao Deyan's combat power was as high as seven thousand points. He was second only to Hu Bilie, who had one hundred thousand points, and Bi Xuan, Shi Zhixuan, and Empress Yin, who had twenty thousand points.
Hu Bilai was the emperor of a generation. Even though he was not very strong and was only at the level of a general, when he gathered all of the evil cult elites and generals, he was an existence that could not be shaken!
But Happy managed to obtain some clues from his probing.
The generals of the Mongolian army were all experts with 5000 Battle Power. Their strength might not be above Wan Wan and the others, but the danger they posed was definitely not low.
"We have to inform everyone to be careful."
Even though the quest players triggered to harass the flanks had yet to be activated, the five thousand combat strength still caused Happy to be wary. The Mongolian general was only two thousand combat strength lower than Zhao Deyan, and he might be at the level of Jinjiu and Yinshi, so he had to be on guard against him.
…
On the huge screen in the underground base, Zhao Deyan relied on the scout's signal to track them for a period of time. Unfortunately, the signal flare that appeared every single time grew further and further away. After chasing after them for a long time, other than the corpses of patrolling cavaliers and scouts, he found nothing. When he saw that the sky had brightened, he was finally forced to give up, and he returned to the main camp with a gloomy expression.
"…"
"Even Happy can't do anything to Zhao Deyan. Looks like the system has indeed considered all unstable factors. Even if we don't send out the four elites, the Mongolian camp is still as sturdy as a rock. There's no need to even mention the Chinese army. There are plenty of elites there, and millions of martial artists are stationed at the rear. Not a single person from the Mongolian army dares to accept the quest to investigate the enemy rear." The man removed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and reminded the workers around him. "Even if there are people who continue to earn points at the enemy rear, they will not bring any accidents to the final attack twenty-nine days later. I think that we can announce the end of this stage of monitoring the area. What do you think?"
"…"
The group of workers discussed for a while before they nodded.
Once he obtained the answer, the man with the glasses released a sigh of relief, as if a huge burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
"If that's the case, shut down the monitoring system. Everyone, rest."
When he heard this, the man in charge raised his hand expressionlessly and tapped his wristwatch.
Beep!
The image on the screen instantly disappeared, and the monitoring system was shut down.
"Li Mei, let's drink coffee over there."
"I only drink tea."
The woman turned around calmly.
"As expected of Li Mei, your taste is indeed extraordinary. Let's go together."
"…"
…
With the skill to fuse with his horse, Happy was not afraid of running into elites at the level of Zhao Deyan. Once he recovered his qi, he did not immediately return to the main camp. After all, the sky was gradually turning bright. While it was still blurry, he could see that the frequency of patrolling cavaliers appearing in the direction of the main camp had gradually increased.
If he went back now, there was no need for him to do so.
Besides, he would also waste a lot of time.
Even though he could get more than one thousand points if he handed in the quest, Happy did not want to miss the chance to intercept the Mongolian cavaliers and test his ability to fight against a large cavalier unit alone.
Thud thud …
Thud thud!
The patrolling cavaliers who passed by quickly noticed the man and horse charging on the plains, and they all headed over to them.
"Chinese!"
"Kill them!"
Since they were not far away from the main camp, the patrolling cavaliers were not as cowardly as they were yesterday. Not only did they not turn around, they even increased their speed to pounce on Happy.
There was no need to even mention the consequences. A small group of patrolling cavaliers lay on the ground and became Old Eagle's food. To Happy, the only change was that his points increased by fifty points.
Once he got rid of the patrolling cavaliers, a low and long horn sound came from the distance.
Boom!
Boom!
The ground trembled slightly.
Happy did not even need to ask to know that the Mongolian cavaliers had already come out of the main camp, but he did not know how many of them there were.
Ten minutes later …
Happy's face turned pale.
A thick and long black line was swiftly surging at the horizon. The ground trembled madly, and the cavaliers were all of the same color. They surged over with the force of an avalanche.
Without another word, he turned his horse around and ran away.
Even though Happy believed that he was pretty good and could fight against a middle-sized or large group of cavaliers, this was nothing. There were at least ten thousand cavaliers charging out from the horizon, and no matter how strong Shifting Stars was, the number of arrows he could divert was still very limited.
With so many cavaliers, perhaps just half a round of arrow showers would be enough to kill him on the plains.
Happy completely understood just how insignificant a person's strength was on the battlefield.
He activated his skill to fuse with his horse again, and Happy fled in front of the cavaliers as if he was flying!
When he was dozens of miles away from the bright plains, the cavaliers that filled the mountains and plains split into a few groups while shouts rang out, and they rode in different directions, Happy's eyes lit up.
'My chance is here!'
