Chapter 85 - The Traitor Appears Again

Fifteen thousand battle merits!

It completely shocked everyone.

Chu Pengcheng almost stammered and was speechless.

Wang Dafu stared at the many potions, his eyes glowing.

Lu Luo was stunned for a few seconds and suddenly leaned in front of Silver Fox. “What did you say just now? The future belongs to the young? Don’t compete with me for second place?”

Silver Fox :”…”

His face immediately turned red as he cursed, “I didn’t say anything just now! I didn’t say a word!”

“If anyone says anything else about what I just said, I’ll fight them!” Silver Fox looked around fiercely.

Lu Luo laughed so hard that her eyes turned into crescents.

Bai Xinghe strode in front of Lin Xuan and saluted him.

“Shield Ghost, thank you for your contribution to the frontline construction division!”

As if saluting was not enough, Bai Xinghe directly bowed deeply to Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan hurriedly helped him up. “There’s no need to be so solemn…”

However, Bai Xinghe was determined not to get up. Instead, he said in a low voice, “These potions are very likely to save the lives of many members of the Construction Division at the critical moment! No matter how much respect I have for you, it’s still not enough!”

Chu Pengcheng’s eyes also turned slightly red. “That’s right.”

“Everyone… salute Shield Ghost!”

Chu Pengcheng’s voice suddenly became high-pitched.

He straightened his back and quickly raised his fingers. Just like Bai Xinghe, he gave Lin Xuan a standard military salute.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Wang Dafu, Silver Fox, Lu Luo, Xu Xuan, and the others also saluted.

Although Wen Xiong’s movements were not standard, he did not move a single inch after saluting. It was as if he had entered a solemn state.

In an instant, the empty space was so solemn that one could hear a pin drop.

Feeling the burning gazes from all directions, Lin Xuan felt as if he had returned to Earth. This scene reminded him of the rows of disciples saluting in unison during the National Day parade.

These two scenes were just too similar.

Lin Xuan’s heart trembled.

“Alright, alright, that’s enough!”

Chu Pengcheng was the first to lower his palm.

The other members also did the same.

“I’m deeply gratified that you can make so many potions,” Chu Pengcheng said. “But can I ask what grade your medicinal skill is?”

Everyone craned their necks.

To be able to make so many potions in a month, the other party’s medicinal skill grade must be very high.

Lin Xuan scratched his head.

He could not possibly say that he did not have the medicinal skill at all and expose the fact that he had three medicinal tables working day and night to help him make potions, right?

“Golden peerless.”

Lin Xuan took out the excuse he had already thought of. “Before I arrived in East Lake City, I met an old TCM doctor by chance. He said that his ancestor was from a famous TCM family. From the day the world was digitized, his medicinal skill had always been peerless golden.”

“However, that old TCM doctor’s child died in the war. He felt that I was a good person, so he taught me his medicinal skill. Perhaps I have a little talent in this aspect. After pushing my limits to learn it completely, I obtained his peerless golden quality medicinal skill.”

The audience was in an uproar.

No wonder Lin Xuan was so good at making potions.

It turned out that he had met a good master.

“Where’s that old man now? Has he passed away?” Lu Luo whispered.

“That’s right. Since he invested his experience points into his medicinal skill , his combat strength was naturally weaker. Unfortunately, in the end, he was killed by demon beasts.”

Lin Xuan sighed.

He couldn’t help but feel that he was too good at coming up with shameless lies.

“What a pity.”

“If he had come to our Construction Division, we would have treated him like a treasure.”

Many members of the Construction Division revealed regretful expressions.

The shock brought by Shield Ghost’s 15,000 battle merits gradually subsided.

After all the members of the Construction Division handed over the potions, Chu Pengcheng nodded in satisfaction and announced loudly.

“The top three this time are Shield Ghost, Xu Xuan, and Silver Fox!”

Chu Pengcheng smiled and said, “There will be people from the headquarters escorting the potions tomorrow. They will also bring the prizes along.”

Lin Xuan’s heart stirred.

The headquarters of the Construction Division…

He had never seen anyone from the headquarters.

He wondered what kind of person would arrive in Dragon Sea City tomorrow.

However, Lin Xuan guessed that that person was at least a Seventh Realm martial artist.

To survive in the dangerous wilderness, one at least needed to be a Sixth Realm martial artist.

Seventh Realm martial artists could come and go as they pleased. The demon beasts were almost no threat to them.

“Wow, the people from the headquarters are coming?”

“The people from the headquarters are personally escorting the potions? Looks like the frontline is indeed tight on potions.”

The members discussed.

Chu Pengcheng pressed his hands down. “In order to ensure that there are no problems with the potions, all the potions will be stored in the warehouse and guarded by the guards.”

“We need to ensure that nothing happens to this batch of potions!”

Chu Pengcheng said solemnly.

“Yes!” All the members replied in the same deep voice.

Lin Xuan also narrowed his eyes.

Tomorrow, the people from the Construction Division would come to escort the potions.

If there were still spies in Dragon Sea City, then tonight was their best chance to make a move.

…

The night was dark and the stars were sparse.

In Dragon Sea City, most people had returned to their houses.

As Dragon Sea City was large, most people had their own independent houses, and civilians were no exception.

However, at this moment, six figures quickly ran out of Dragon Sea City in three directions.

“Our mission is to use ourselves as bait to lure the demon beasts to attack Dragon Sea City and buy time for Captain.”

One of the two people running towards the north of Dragon Sea City was an older Fourth Realm martial artist and the other was a younger Third Realm martial artist.

It was the older one who had spoken just now.

“Understood!” Fear flashed across the other person’s face, but he still replied immediately.

The older man seemed to have sensed his fear and said calmly, “Did your faith waver after living in Dragon Sea City for too long? Have you forgotten your identity?”

The young man hurriedly shook his head. “My faith will not waver. I always remember that I’m a part of High Heaven Plains.”

The older man nodded. “It’s good that you remember. Even if we die in battle in glory, our names will still be recorded on the heroic spirit tablet of the High Heaven Plains!”

Soon, the two of them ran ten kilometers away from Dragon Sea City.

They were panting heavily from running.

“Damn Shield Ghost. If not for his suggestion to clean up the demon beasts, we wouldn’t need to travel so far.” The older man cursed secretly.

The young man could not help but say, “There shouldn’t be any mistakes tonight, right? Shield Ghost and Flame Explosion… are quite strong.”

The older man took out something from the storage compartment and slowly opened it. A strange stench suddenly surged out, causing the nearby air to seem to be extremely smelly.

“Wind Blade!”

The elder took out his staff and immediately threw out a Wind Blade after chanting for a short time.

The Wind Blade that appeared out of thin air immediately stirred up a violent wind, scattering the stench further north.

The older man put away his staff and sneered. “Shield Ghost and Flame Explosion are indeed very powerful, but no matter how powerful they are, they are not Seventh Realm martial artists! Chu Pengcheng is the only Seventh Realm martial artist in Dragon Sea City, and he has the healer profession. He can’t stop three Seventh Realm demon beasts!”

“Even if those level nine Sixth Realm martial artists forcefully advance in order to protect Dragon Sea City, it will still be in vain. After all, they still lack suitable profession scrolls. If they do forcefully advance, it would be equivalent to killing their future. Either way, our mission would be completed.”
