Chapter 155 First Intimate Contact

  Not bad. Gan Jing walked past the warrior's side, reached out and touched his head, smiling: "Next year, you might become the main general, work hard."

  The young warrior stared blankly at Qian Jin's departure, then looked down at the broken wooden stick in his hand. A cold sweat dripped from his forehead down to the ground as he muttered to himself: "He can't be a Demon Slayer... I actually attacked a Demon Slayer..."

  Qian Jin walked away shaking his head with a wry smile, what just happened? The other person was only one year younger than himself, so why did he feel like an elder looking at a younger when he looked at him?

  Three days passed in the blink of an eye, Qian Jing was busy making various arrows on one hand, and on the other hand, he was busy improving the actual strength of the Demon-Slaying Scripture, time had unknowingly slipped away.

  At dawn, Qian Jin put on his strong bow and hard arrows, flying knife clothes, as well as the strange magic hat "Tongtong" into the Dou boundary, holding a horse-cutting knife and walking out of the room, he couldn't help but pause. Fabreides, Gu Yuejing, Luo Qingqing, and Bi Lu were already standing in front of his door. "What's going on?" Qian Jin scratched his head: "Isn't this too grand?"

  Lu Qingqing carried a backpack with both hands, her face red as she walked behind Qian Jin. She quietly said, "The military camp is also made up of people, bring some local specialties and build some relationships, it will be useful for you in the future."

  It's so ridiculous that I'm crying and laughing at the same time. Isn't this supposed to be a trip to the human-demon battlefield? Why does it feel like we're going on an outdoor picnic instead?

  "I put a whole pack in there, which is ten packs of cigarettes." Luo Qingqing whispered: "This is a scarce commodity, if something happens, sometimes one pack can buy someone's favor."

  Fabreids patted the dry shoulder and reminded: "Don't underestimate any demon tribe, even those with curved sheep horns on their heads, the Bellia demon tribe. In a demon tribe where the strong are king, it's not easy to preserve the tribe, let alone become one of the seven major demon tribes."

  Gu Yuexiang took out a metal pendant-like chain and hung it around Qianjin's neck, the fragrance of orchids wafted into his nostrils, and the soft voice with a hint of sweetness slowly echoed in his ears: "This is the protective talisman obtained from the Temple of Gods."

  Qianjin picked up the token and looked at the four words engraved on it. It was indeed a special protective charm given by the Temple of Gods to its warriors when they went into battle. It was said that the Temple's warriors also wore this token on their chest when they fought against the Demon Clan. "Wait for your return..."

  The sound of Gu Yue Jia Ying's reminder still echoed in his ears, and he felt a soft touch on his face as if it had been lightly kissed by her tender lips, and he was immediately stunned.

  Gu Yuexiang's face maintained a calm and serene expression, but her cheeks still couldn't help but flush with a deep red color, amidst the subtle hint of shyness, under the warm rays of the early sun, she was breathtakingly beautiful.

  "Oh, I suddenly remembered that I haven't gone to the warrior's daily compulsory course yet." Fabreides looked up with his head raised, as if he hadn't seen what just happened, and walked towards the backyard with his hands behind him, swaying back and forth.

  Lu Qingqing adjusted the collar of Gan Jing's clothes, and then quickly kissed his face like Gu Yue Jia Ying, blushing bright red like an apple, covering her face with both hands and running towards the backyard.

  In the courtyard, only Gan Jing and Bi Luo were left soon. The situation just now had already made Bi Luo so ashamed that she couldn't lift her head up. That big magic hat was lowered even more seriously. The two arrived at the academy, Rodriguez had already led his team to wait there.

  This is a team of teachers and students, excluding the principal, with only ten big teams, totaling only thirteen people, everyone carrying various bags on their backs.

  Rodriguez looked at Gan Jing and Bi Luo, who were almost empty-handed, and couldn't help but sigh. The others' outfits seemed like they were going on a picnic, while these two looked more like they were going shopping. It seems that in the future, when the academy has money, it will have to consider this aspect as well.

  "Out!" Rodriguez waved his hand and walked at the front of the team, occasionally reminding them: "This time, we are going to a real military camp. Once we arrive, we must follow their rules and regulations. Don't think you're still in school, they have martial law there." Due to budget constraints, no carriages were arranged for this trip to D1? Fortress, so everyone had to walk the whole way on foot.

  At first, Da Ke and the others were still full of energy, occasionally glancing around at their surroundings. As time passed, until nightfall arrived, almost everyone had lost their initial enthusiasm, a whole day of long-distance travel was far more tiring than getting up early in the morning for exercise and training on campus.

  The small town of Auckland is not prosperous outside, except for a official road, there are more wilderness. Nowadays it's still summer, everywhere is the green color of grass, under the sunset, showing a kind of vitality.

  As night began to fall, Rodriguez decided to make camp where they were and continue on their journey in the morning.

  No need for excessive command, everyone was a student in the academy who had learned military common sense, and immediately became busy, Dak even took two soldier students to search around, to see if there were any signs of wild beasts or mountain bandits nearby.

  Several warriors were busy starting a fire, getting their faces covered in black soot, but still unable to ignite the flames. Rodriguez saw them shaking their heads and sighing, it seemed that the knowledge from the academy still needed to be combined with actual practice, next time he would have to give the students more opportunities for hands-on experience.

  What's going on? He came to the fire pit, just lightly fiddled with it a few times, and the dying embers immediately burst into a raging flame.

  Several warriors stared blankly at Beryl, who was cowering to one side. Rodriguez was also startled - was this really the same Beryl who couldn't do anything? In two years, not only had she reached level 5 spiritual power, but she could even cook with such skill? And what about Qianjin?

  Several warrior disciples took out a piece of plain dry rations from their bags and handed it to Bì Luò's face. She thanked them softly and accepted the dry rations, but unlike those disciples, she didn't drink cold water while eating the dry rations. Instead, she sat quietly with the dry rations in her hand.

  Rodriguez found himself increasingly unable to understand Beryl, having rushed this afternoon's journey, she was obviously very hungry, why wasn't she eating yet? What was she waiting for?

  It wasn't long before Rodriguez and the other sailors understood what Betsy was waiting for.

  With a stern expression, he held two plump wild chickens in his hands and carried a dead wolf on his shoulder. Under the stunned gaze of everyone holding dry rations and water bottles, he returned to the camp.

  The small flying knife skillfully cut open the wolf's pelt, and those unpalatable internal organs were quickly turned out.

  Bai Ze skillfully caught a wild wolf and, with the same level of expertise, plucked the feathers from a pheasant and removed its internal organs. He then used the wooden stick brought back by Qian Jin to cut them into pieces, thread them onto skewers, and roast them over an open flame.

  Salt and seasonings were sprinkled lightly over the meat, and Bi Lu carefully flipped the food, letting the flames burn evenly on the meat, occasionally emitting a sizzling sound.

  Roast meat is not a delicious food, it's a kind of food that anyone can eat except for very poor people.

  Normally, it wouldn't arouse much appetite. But in this desolate place with no village ahead and no store behind, when everyone only had cold dry rations and cold water in their hands, roasted meat became the most heavenly delicacy!

  Everyone unconsciously gathered around the bonfire, watching the roasted meat being flipped over. So much roasted meat was obviously not just prepared for two people, but for everyone to share together. The dry rations in their hands were all put away for the time being.

  Rodriguez looked at Qianjin and Biliu with a mixture of surprise and curiosity. These two young students, who had been missing for two years, seemed to have changed a lot after their return, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was different about them. Where did Qianjin get that hunting gear from?

  And there's that calmness! Rodriguez took a look at the other students, even when facing food, they would instinctively tense up with excitement because of the upcoming human-demon battle, but Qian Jin's face almost didn't show any tension or excitement, this kind of demeanor - only veteran warriors who have fought hundreds of battles on the battlefield would have it, how could it appear on his body?

  The sunset completely disappeared on the ground, and the night reigned supreme over the entire land. The darkness of the wild night was a bit frightening. The warriors-in-training were paying attention to their food while vigilantly observing their surroundings. In this dark night that seemed to have no light at all, the evening wind whizzed by, bringing with it the distant howling of wolves, which sounded both far and near, making those who heard it feel a chill down their spines.

  "Wilderness survival for two years." Qian Jin looked at the roasted meat in his hand, shrugged and said, "How to take care of oneself, it's all learned." "Tell us," Rodriguez leaned in closer and said, "Tell teacher about what happened to you during these two years." The crowd also unconsciously drew closer, gazing at him, wanting to hear about his experiences over the past two years.

  "Ah, these past two years..." Qian Jin gazed up at the moonless and starless night sky, lost in thought. He slowly began to speak, selectively recounting his experiences over the past two years. He omitted the events of the Dou Shi mine vein from his tale of reversing fortunes, and also left out the stories of the Four Seasons Valley's turbulent atmosphere and the old man.

  A recluse living in a valley of four seasons, with maps tucked away in books, and not wandering around everywhere, obviously doesn't want to draw too much attention to his existence.

  The story was still fascinating after being shortened, and everyone listened with continuous surprises and exclamations. After dinner, they listened to another segment before going to bed.

  In six days, five hundred miles, even the warrior students who trained every day in the academy felt very tired. Not far away stood a not-so-large earthen fortress, which was the earthen fortress of the Zhen Ce Empire.

  Let me tell you, tomorrow there will be an explosion of updates. In the early morning, two chapters will be released first, and then after getting up in the morning, when everyone has nothing to do, refresh the page once every hour or so, and you'll be surprised to find that it's been updated again!
