As the night passed, the East slowly brightened.
But today, it didn't rain.
The sun slowly rose, hanging high in the cloudless blue sky.
Gu Qing Shan's figure suddenly appeared in a dense forest.
The snake demon's corpse is still lying at his feet, 200 meters away, a cluster of arrows pierced deep into the tree branches.
Staying in the other world for one day is equivalent to 1 hour in Reality, but coming back from Reality, not even a second has passed in the other world.
This is a very strange flow of time.
Gu Qing Shan checked his Inventory Bag, the snake blood, snake fangs and other spoils of war are all filled to the brim.
Of the two most precious snake demon gallbladders, he ate one for himself, the other is silently sitting in his Inventory Bag, occasionally letting out a faint light.
This is the best thing, even now, Gu Qing Shan can still feel his blood essence growing, almost catching up to Martial Cultivators.
Should I walk the path of Martial Cultivators?
Gu Qing Shan is a bit hesitant.
Whatever, let's not think about this for now, it's time to return to the barracks.
I haven't had time to eat anything today, Zhao Lu might not be good at anything else, but he does have a knack for cooking.
Gu Qing Shan packed up his things and quickly went back the way he came.
On the way, he didn't stop at all, only avoiding the demon beasts he came across.
Killing demon beasts for a whole night, returning to Reality to finish the research and development of a Mech, meeting Anna, fighting a Grandmaster, meeting the President and the Martial Saint, going on TV, he's feeling a bit tired.
Since he's in the other world this time, he might as well take a good rest.
When he returned to the barracks, Zhao Lu was standing at the entrance, waiting for him.
As soon as he saw Gu Qing Shan, he hurriedly said: "Brother Gu, it's bad"
"What is it?"
"Last night, a lot of demons appeared one after another"
"Hm? What exactly happened? "
Gu Qing Shan's expression tightened as he asked.
Zhao Lu doesn't understand military matters, so even after a while, he couldn't explain anything.
Gu Qing Shan could only patiently ask. Every 3-4 times he asked, Zhao Lu would answer from his memory.
After about 15 minutes, Gu Qing Shan finally understood what happened.
Last night, the demon army didn't send out a large force, only small special forces.
These forces are all well-equipped and strong, in Zhao Lu's words, "they look scary, even more ferocious than the monsters last time".
The troops of the Devil Army rushed out from the entrance of the camp at an extremely fast speed.
In order to ensure their concealment and mobility, the number of fiendish demons was small, and their movements were silent.
If it wasn't for Zhao Lu going to the toilet at night, he wouldn't have noticed.
After listening to Zhao Lu's description, Gu Qing Shan remembered the Faceless Giant and the Bloodthirster that appeared yesterday, feeling even more confused.
What did the Devil Army want to do by frequently mobilizing such elite troops?
"This year is the last year of Chengping, right?" he muttered.
"Cheng Qing Year" Zhao Lu nodded.
"Cheng Zhao" Zhao nodded.
This was indeed the first time the war had just broken out. The demons and humans were still testing each other's strength. Neither side had sent out a strong team to fight to the end.
These powerful demons that would only appear in the later stages of the war had suddenly appeared.
Gu Qing Shan pondered and began to seriously recall.
He sensed an ominous sign.
In his previous life, he was the commander of Huaxia's national guild and the overall strategic director of the World Allied Forces Command. He was especially sensitive to troop movements.
He had seriously studied every battle in the game.
Because she had just crossed over, her cultivation was too low and she was injured, so Gu Qing Shan focused on improving herself.
Now that the situation had changed, he once again thought about it from the perspective of a strategic commander.
Gu Qing Shan cast aside all distracting thoughts and began to organize her thoughts.
Since it wasn't the main army of the fiendish demons, then what was about to happen would definitely not be on the main battlefield.
In that case, a direct battle could be ruled out.
Then, would they launch a surprise attack?
Gu Qing Shan closed her eyes and went through the map in her mind.
The military camp he was in was at the frontline and was now part of the fallen area.
Is there anything nearby that's worth the demons sending out their elite troops to attack with all their might?
The closest human camp to this place is outside the border city, about 1000 miles away from here.
There aren't any human targets nearby that's worth attacking.
Seems like a surprise attack can also be ruled out.
Having ruled out these two possibilities, Gu Qing Shan became even more nervous.
Could it be an assassination or some sort of beheading operation?
Gu Qing Shan silently thought.
During this year in history, many of the strongest cultivators of humanity died in battle.
At the start of the war, which important human cultivator had been killed by the demons?
Names after names flashed through Gu Qing Shan's mind.
While recalling, he quickly went through them.
Suddenly, Gu Qing Shan remembered two people.
Two people of unparalleled talent, two people who left a deep mark in history.
Many historians have said that as long as one of them didn't die at the start of the war, the course of history would've changed.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly asked: "What month and day is it today?"
Zhao Lu scratched his head and answered: "7th of June"
Gu Qing Shan's heart jumped. That's it!
Holy Gate, Grand Elder, Formation Grandmaster Gongsun Zhi, died on the 8th of June.
Heaven's Limit Sect, Heaven's Limit Saintess Ning Yuechan, died on the 9th of June.
Gongsun Zhi was surrounded by 3 million demons and died in his own formation.
Ning Yuechan was surrounded by 5 Demon Generals, fought for an entire day and night before dying.
Many players were dumbfounded when they read this historical record, unable to comprehend what had transpired.
Because formations are the best at hiding, or at the very least, they can trap the enemy and escape.
Among the aristocratic families and sects, Gongsun Zhi was a top-notch formation expert, a Grandmaster who could almost peek into the heavens.
With his formation skills, it doesn't make sense for him to be surrounded by millions of demons.
Heaven's Limit Saintess Ning Yuechan's death is especially tragic.
Heaven's Limit Sect is one of the strongest sects in the cultivation world. Ning Yuechan was able to become Heaven's Limit Saintess at such a young age, her talent and cultivation are the best in the entire cultivation world.
Such a beautiful woman was surrounded by 5 Demon Generals, fought for an entire day and night before dying of exhaustion.
If she had let out even the slightest bit of news, within that one day and night, human experts would've come to her rescue.
But even until her death, the higher-ups of humanity didn't know that she fought against the demon army for an entire day and night.
A great cultivator once said that if Gongsun Zhi didn't die, the outcome of the first war might've been different; if Ning Yuechan didn't die, a few dozen years later, she would've had the ability to fight against the Demon Lord of the Underworld and change the fate of humanity.
But this is only a sigh, history has already happened, so what the people of the future say is meaningless.
Gu Qing Shan paced back and forth a few steps, silently pondering.
Today is the 7th of June, in the next two days, these two legendary figures will die one after another.
The demon army probably mobilized their elite troops for this matter.
The place where these two legendary figures died is …
Gu Qing Shan silently recalled in her mind, quickly remembering the location marked in the historical records.
Sure enough, it's not far from here, only about 100 miles away.
That's right, Gu Qing Shan suddenly felt enlightened.
Once these two powerful human cultivators show themselves, the demon army will definitely go crazy and surround them.
With this kind of intense encirclement, with Gu Qing Shan's qi training level 5 cultivation, he can't even get close to them.
The demon army guarding the outer perimeter can easily take his life.
To him, the only thing he can do is to take this opportunity to escape back to the human's territory.
Taking advantage of the fact that the demon army's attention is on these two legendary figures, he must escape from the enemy's territory!
Gu Qing Shan quickly made a decision.
In this kind of situation, he only needs to go the opposite direction to avoid as much danger as possible.
From this military camp to the human highland outside of Border City, it'll take about a day and a night.
This time isn't short, there's a lot of danger on the way, but it's still better than waiting for death in a military camp that's about to fall.
So if he wants to leave, he must take advantage of the fact that these two legendary figures are still fighting against the demon army to quickly leave!
Gu Qing Shan also doesn't rest, quickly checking his belongings.
Snake blood, snake teeth, snake gall are all there, the military bow is still intact, there aren't many arrows left, so he'll need to replenish some before he leaves.
The standard machete isn't very useful, but he still needs to bring one, just in case he needs to fight hand to hand, at least he has a weapon.
"Pack up, we're leaving immediately"
As Gu Qing Shan packs up, she tells Zhao Lu.
"Leave? Where? "Zhao Lu opens his eyes wide.
He's holding some freshly marinated demon beast meat in his hand, about to hang it under the eaves.
"Of course we're going to leave this area, towards the human highland" Gu Qing Shan says.
Zhao Lu hesitates: "But … but we've already found the spirit stones, using the formation, we can hide for a while longer"
Gu Qing Shan says: "This concealment formation is only effective against those below Golden Core realm, those above Golden Core can easily see through it"
He also says: "A few days ago, that monster called the Faceless Giant had already discovered us, but because it had a mission to complete, and because we're nothing more than ants, it didn't pay any attention to us"
Zhao Lu takes a step back, then another step back, shaking his head: "Brother Gu, there's no need to scare me, what's the point of lying to me"
Gu Qing Shan patiently explains: "If I'm not wrong, this area will soon become a battlefield, if we want to live, we have to leave as soon as possible"
Zhao Lu says: "Didn't you go hunting? How do you know all this? "
Gu Qing Shan says: "Just by looking at the demon army's movements, don't worry, I'm not wrong about this"
Zhao Lu keeps shaking his head: "That's not right! You must be mistaken, it's so dangerous out there, you can lose your life at any time! If you want to leave, you can leave, I'm not leaving! "
Gu Qing Shan thinks about the Healing Pill he gave her, sighs, but still tries to persuade him: "Come with me, this place can't be defended, we'll lose our lives in an instant"
Zhao Lu shakes his head like a rattle drum, saying: "Leaving is the real danger, the camp has a formation, staying here is very safe, not to mention, the human army will retake this place sooner or later"
Gu Qing Shan tries to persuade him a few more times, but seeing Zhao Lu's resolute attitude, even looking at her with a bit of hatred in his eyes, she finally gives up.
"I hope you understand" Gu Qing Shan says very seriously, "once the demons come, it'll be too late for you to regret"
Zhao Lu stiffens his neck, not saying a word.
Seeing that, Gu Qing Shan helplessly turns around, leaving the camp without looking back.
Until Gu Qing Shan can't even be seen anymore, Zhao Lu spits on the ground.
"Peh! Going out is the most dangerous, those soldiers all died at the hands of the demons because they left the camp "
"Everyone else is lying in the pit of corpses, only I'm alive"
"Originally I thought it was a reinforcement, but it turns out it's just a new recruit, I had to wait for a few days for nothing before I understood"
"Ridiculous, not only did you want to die, you even dared to trick me"
