Chapter 205
Seven days later, buffer zone.
"Caw"
High in the sky, two crows circled continuously, their crow pupils flashing with strange luster, staring closely at the battlefield below.
To this day, the lead soldier, Zhou Tian, no longer knew how to evaluate these young people.
Lu Ran and the others had completed the labor reform mission long ago, successfully helping Si Xianxian turn over a new leaf and become a new person.
In the following days, they didn't stop, but came to the buffer zone every day to unleash their talents and help the troops perform missions.
That was nothing, the key was Lu Ran's way of performing missions...
It was too demoralizing!
"Swoosh—"
Far below, a figure was like a ghost, spraying thick mist under his feet, darting rapidly through the rubble pile.
More than ten vicious dogs roared angrily and chased the figure in front.
"Crack!"
"Crack!!" Amidst the annoying dog barking, canine teeth appeared out of thin air, biting at Lu Ran.
But Lu Ran seemed to have eyes in the back of his head!
His forward momentum remained unchanged, sometimes darting left, sometimes advancing right.
The canine teeth bit down fiercely, but they couldn't bite Lu Ran no matter what.
"Caw!"
In the night sky, Zhou Tian couldn't help but let out a shout.
He had seen such a scene many times already.
But no matter how many times he saw it, he couldn't help but feel deeply moved.
Was Lu Ran completing a training mission?
No!
He was more like giving a lecture to the soldiers stationed at their posts, and it was a high-end version of a "Master Class"!
Question:
How to complete missions more efficiently?
What is the top-tier way to interpret the skill of identifying position by sound in actual combat?
And how do we perfectly dodge the enemy's repeated attacks with the smallest range of motion and the least consumption of physical strength?
Watch closely!
I'll only teach it once... hmm, no, I'll teach you for a few more days!
The Lu Ran Sect Master Class, teaching without discrimination!
Watch carefully, learn well~
Over the past few days, the lead soldier Zhou Tian had also had several exchanges with Lu Ran.
According to Lu Ran's own explanation, he was indeed gifted and was born to be a "blade wielder."
He was also continuously training hard to listen to the sound of the wind.
This...
Is this human language?
You might as well say that you secretly worshipped Lord North Wind; we would find that easier to accept.
It cannot be denied that there are indeed geniuses in this world.
And the gap between people is simply visible to the naked eye, which is even more disheartening.
"Thump!"
Lu Ran stomped his feet and lunged forward.
Four canine teeth appeared abruptly, and Lu Ran darted through the center just before the canine teeth bit down fiercely.
"The third vicious dog seems to be Jiang Jing, Third Stage!" High in the sky came Jiang Ruyi's voice.
She had chased all the way and finally confirmed that this vicious dog's strength exceeded the limit.
It was no wonder people found it difficult to distinguish.
Vicious dogs of the Jiang Jing, Second Stage and Jiang Jing, Third Stage, differed by no more than 10 centimeters in body size.
Even if two vicious dogs stood still, it would be difficult for people to tell them apart, let alone when they were jumping around and running at full speed.
"Baa~~~" Lu Ran understood and immediately dragged out a sheep bleat.
The sound wasn't loud, but it was enough for the thin dogs to hear clearly.
The Vicious Dog clan already wanted to tear Lu Ran to pieces, and now that they heard this sound, they ignored everything else!
Thanks to this, Jiang Ruyi flew lower, and after aiming at the target, her jade hand suddenly flicked downward.
"Whoosh~!"
A Frost Talisman was flicked out, hitting the third vicious dog squarely.
In an instant, frost spread, rapidly staining the vicious dog's body.
"Woof! Woof!!"
Because Jiang Ruyi deliberately lowered the grade of the Divine Technique · Frost Talisman, the vicious dog wasn't frozen stiff.
However, the vicious dog pack was running fast, and this vicious dog's speed slowed down slightly, so it was left behind by the main force.
"Are you sure, Ruyi?" From afar came Si Xianxian's inquiry.
"Resistance matches, body size is correct." Jiang Ruyi looked at the isolated vicious dog, only feeling that it was beyond saving.
Her Frost Talisman had already hit it, but it still chased Lu Ran, ignoring everything else.
"Good!" Si Xianxian let out a sharp cry, held a giant hammer, and swung it fiercely.
Lie Tian Divine Technique · Violent Explosion of the Firmament!
A phantom hammer shadow, three meters in size, carrying raging flames, bombarded the vicious dog whose movements were becoming increasingly sluggish.
"Rumble!"
Amidst the firelight, the vicious dog exploded.
The air was filled with the charred aroma of dog meat...
At the same time, above the high wall.
Two soldiers on duty saw the immortal mist coming from far to near and sighed softly: "The little sheep is here again."
"There are quite a few this time, must be twelve or thirteen."
"This taunt technique is truly heaven-defying! How many days has it been, and I haven't seen a single vicious dog break away... Whoa!"
A soldier exclaimed, seeing Lu Ran jump forward, like a gymnast, his body twisted into a twist.
Under the tearing of canine teeth, Lu Ran forcibly carved out a path to survival.
The sound of the canine teeth biting together sounded like drumbeats cheering for Lu Ran.
The moment he landed, he was already facing the dog pack and kept sliding backward toward the city wall.
"Hoo"
Once again, Lu Ran slid backward into the prison, and the sheep bleat started again:
"Baa~~~"
The low-intelligence vicious dogs had already lost the ability to think and swarmed into the prison.
Rather than a prison, it was more like a gap in the city wall.
Because at this time, the large iron gates on both sides of the city wall were both lifted.
"Close the gate!" The moment Lu Ran crossed the thick city wall and slid out, he shouted loudly.
With a heavy "Bang."
The large iron gate fell heavily, hitting the ground and splashing up a burst of dust.
"Woof!"
"Woof!!" The leading vicious dog lunged fiercely at the iron gate, barking like crazy.
Lu Ran dodged the canine teeth while whispering: "Baa~"
Another heavy sound, and the gate on the other side of the city wall fell heavily.
More than ten vicious dogs were thus locked in the prison, in a mess, waiting for the soldiers to review them.
Once the review was passed, they would be released, and then Lu Ran would lead them toward the direction of the Wucheng.
"Is it working?"
Lu Ran asked loudly, moving horizontally and dodging to the base of the city wall to avoid being attacked by the Vicious Dog clan.
He didn't wait for the soldiers' response, but instead waited for a beautiful figure.
"Why are you here?" Lu Ran asked curiously.
Jiang Ruyi hadn't landed yet, and hearing this, she stopped right above Lu Ran.
And before Lu Ran's eyes was that gently fluttering skirt.
The girl's eyes were deep, looking down at Lu Ran, saying nothing.
"Uh." Lu Ran also realized that his words were problematic and immediately said, "I was worried about Si Xianxian having an accident."
Jiang Ruyi said indifferently: "You care about her very much; you can't even leave for a moment."
"No." Lu Ran looked up at the girl in the white dress and hurriedly said, "You have little contact with Lie Tian believers.
The Si Xianxian you see is the way she is after being tamed by me... cough, after being reformed.
Only when facing the two of us does she have a bit of a smile.
When she is with others, she can get into an argument in one sentence."
As he spoke, Lu Ran raised his hand to catch the girl's palm.
However, Jiang Ruyi raised her hand slightly, not intending to give him a chance.
How fast was Lu Ran's reaction?
He stood on tiptoe and grabbed the girl's palm.
Cool and soft.
Just like in his memory.
Lu Ran exerted a little force, pulled her hand down, and pressed his lips to the back of her hand:
"Mua~"
Jiang Ruyi's indifferent expression changed instantly!
The high-and-mighty fairy turned into a slightly flustered mortal girl.
She subconsciously pulled her hand back, feeling both startled and shy in her heart.
This guy is really getting more and more excessive.
Lu Ran chuckled: "Be good, go watch her, don't let her cause trouble.
After I lead the vicious dogs away, I'll come back to meet up with you."
"Hmph." Jiang Ruyi turned her head away from Lu Ran and flew toward the city wall.
Watching the girl's figure fleeing in a panic, Lu Ran's smile became even richer.
Little Ruyi,
Coaxing you is just a piece of cake, isn't it?
Following the girl's graceful figure, Lu Ran saw a soldier on the city wall poking out half his body, smiling and gesturing a thumbs up.
Lu Ran: "..."
Every time they opened the gate to release the dogs, the soldiers were all business, gesturing with hand signals.
But they had never been like this, smiling and giving a thumbs up.
"Crack! Crack"
The iron fence gate lifted slowly.
The Vicious Dog clan drilled out like zombie dogs, crazy.
"Baa~~~"
Lu Ran darted rapidly toward the direction of the Wucheng.
On the high city wall, Jiang Ruyi watched Lu Ran's figure silently until he disappeared into the night, and then she landed in the buffer zone.
"Did it succeed?" Si Xianxian asked with a smile when she saw Jiang Ruyi land.
"Mm." Jiang Ruyi nodded gently, "Let's wait for him to come back."
"Okay." Si Xianxian spun her heavy hammer in her hand, looking leisurely.
After more than a week of contact, the relationship between the two had improved a lot.
The Si Xianxian of the past had no teammates or friends and had suffered enough from labor reform.
Now, she had received full care and attention from Jiang and Lu, and she liked them more and more in her heart.
The only downside was that Jiang Ruyi had also started to restrain her...
As the commander, Jiang Ruyi naturally had to issue orders to the squad.
But the commander's orders gradually expanded from battle to daily life.
This made Si Xianxian feel that she had no face!
After all, Jiang Ruyi was not only young, but her strength realm was also slightly inferior.
Hmm... what can I do!
Si Xianxian could only try her best to endure and slowly digest it.
Who told her to need these two people?
"Sister Ruyi~" Si Xianxian leaned toward the girl.
"Mm?"
"Where are we going to play next month?"
Jiang Ruyi looked at Si Xianxian, who was full of expectation, and asked with a smile: "Where does Sister Xian'er want to go?"
Si Xianxian immediately became spirited: "Shall we go to a big city?
Go to a warm place, a lively place, go to a prosperous and brilliant place!"
Hearing this, Jiang Ruyi's heart softened.
She had heard many stories about Si Xianxian and couldn't help but feel a trace of pity in her heart.
Jiang Ruyi nodded gently: "Mm, I'll help you talk to Lu Ran."
"As expected of Sister Xian'er's good Ruyi!" Si Xianxian affectionately wrapped her arms around Jiang Ruyi's arm.
Everything was as Si Xianxian expected; Jiang Ruyi was gentler and easier to talk to.
"Consider it a reward for you." Jiang Ruyi suddenly said.
"What?" Si Xianxian was a bit confused.
Jiang Ruyi couldn't help but laugh: "Last night in the restaurant, you endured it very hard."
"Ah!" Si Xianxian understood and hummed, "If you hadn't stopped me, I would have scolded that little bastard... cough cough."
Jiang Ruyi blamed: "In the future, speak less foul language."
Si Xianxian hummed: "I'll try my best.
Ruyi, you are still too gentle; some people just need to be taught a lesson. If you slap him, he will speak properly."
Jiang Ruyi shook her head helplessly; where did Si Xianxian look like she had successfully reformed?
Hmm... come to think of it, that's true.
Lu Ran was the absolute main force in driving the vicious dogs; this trip to Vicious Dog Village was more like Lu Ran undergoing labor reform...
"Hoo~" A figure flew rapidly in the air.
"Let's lead one more wave and end today's mission, shall we?" Lu Ran gripped the Rosy Cloud Blade and landed slowly.
"Okay." Jiang Ruyi nodded in response.
Si Xianxian asked: "By the way, how many vicious dogs have we driven? Are your missions almost done?"
"Once we get enough two thousand, we'll stop." Lu Ran said casually, "Let's go!"
"Already that many?" Si Xianxian clicked her tongue secretly and followed quickly.
Ten minutes later, after the trio had gone deep enough into the buffer zone, Lu Ran stood on a giant rock again.
Jiang and Si stood far away, each on alert, everything as usual.
"Baa~~~"
The sheep bleat spread across the rubble wilderness, and Lu Ran tried his best to urge the Evil Technique · Evil Consciousness, looking around.
"Hoo~"
Suddenly, a violent surge of energy erupted, and two rows of canine teeth appeared rapidly, biting fiercely at Lu Ran.
Lu Ran's expression changed suddenly, and he sprang backward violently.
"Crunch!"
The canine teeth bit down fiercely, the sound unusually harsh.
Jiang Ruyi's eyes condensed, and Si Xianxian's breathing even stagnated!
Two rows of canine teeth?
Not four, but two rows?!
Evil Technique · Vicious Teeth, below the River Artifact grade, all had four teeth.
Only when this technique was promoted to the River Estuary Artifact grade would a qualitative change occur, and the canine teeth would present a jagged, row-like shape!
That is to say...
A River Estuary Realm vicious dog had been lured over by Lu Ran?!
"Retreat! You guys retreat quickly!" Lu Ran's expression was incomparably stiff.
"Swoosh—"
As he spoke, Lu Ran's whole body was tense, and he darted to the right violently.
Always walking by the river, am I going to get my shoes wet today?!
"Crunch!"
Two more rows of canine teeth appeared rapidly.
Where the vicious teeth bit, a burst of energy surged, as if it were about to tear the space apart.
Lu Ran:!!!
He endured the palpitations, opened the Evil Technique · Evil Consciousness to the maximum, and perceived every movement in the surroundings.
Don't!
Don't...
Did a River Estuary Realm vicious dog leak through the screening area outside the Sixth Wall and into the buffer zone?
Don't you dare be equipped with the Evil Technique · Vicious Shadow Flash!
Don't you dare know how to teleport!
The more he thought about it, the more panicked Lu Ran became.
Over the past seven days, the trio had encountered some Jiang Jing, Third and Fourth Stage vicious dogs.
The Vicious Dog clan was indeed low-intelligence, but it was inevitable that an individual vicious dog would possess this technique!
It is no exaggeration to say: a vicious dog with teleportation and a vicious dog without teleportation are completely two different species!
"Lu"
Faintly, Lu Ran heard the low growl of a dog hunting.
The sound was incomparably heavy, making one's hair stand on end!
High in the sky, two crows spoke in human language, shouting sternly:
"Immediately pause the mission!"
"Abandon the mission! Go, Lu Ran! Run quickly!!"
Four thousand words! It's the end of the month, asking for some monthly tickets for support!
