"Okay." Fortunately, Ye Shuier finally prepared the medicinal smoke before Lin Fei's legs broke.
Zhang Shi quickly took the incense and ran to the cave that had already been dug and lit it.
A little spark fell on the medicine smoke, and white odorless smoke rose.
Zhang Shi quickly came out, covering his nose.
Here, Lin Fei received a message from his teammates. He ran out of the cave with his last bit of strength and threw the aphrodisiac bottle into the cave.
The flying fire ants followed with a buzzing sound.
"Now!" Zhang Shen shouted, and moved several huge rocks to block the cave entrance.
Cut off the escape routes of the flying fire ants.
A huge rock blocked the entrance of the cave, but there were still a few small gaps, so the members of Team 6 waited nearby.
Kill any flying fire ants you see escaping.
A single flying fire ant is no match for a group of them. You can just kill it from a distance with small stones.
If you're too close, they'll explode when they die and your body will be splattered with insect carcasses, which won't be pretty.
It took two full hours for everyone to move the rocks and enter the cave to check.
"Take any stick or something else and smash all the intact flying fire ants into pieces."
"I don't want any of them to survive!"
Zhang Shen instructed that with the reproductive capacity of the wild flying fire ants, if only one survived, a large group would appear again within a month.
Ye Shuier, Zhang Shi and others nodded.
After a period of time, they have deeply realized the caution of their captain.
It's troublesome, but if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.
It's to save your life, it's not shameful.
They have done things like this several times before.
Afterwards, Zhang Shen burned the cave down to ashes.
"If there are still people alive like this, it's really unfair."
Zhang Shen clapped his hands, very satisfied.
But it hasn’t always been so smooth.
Being in a high-pressure environment all the time, people's fatigue accumulates exponentially.
At first, those who were at the limit of mortal life began to suffer heavy casualties, followed by some warriors with shallow cultivation.
The same is true for Team Six.
Zhang Shi was the first to get into trouble. He had his head bitten off by a bear monster.
He could have dodged it, but the fatigue accumulated over a long period of time made his body not as agile as it was at the beginning. Just a second later, his head was bitten off.
The angry Zhang Shen cut the bear monster into pieces, but Zhang Shi was gone forever.
They could only retreat with his body.
"There are more and more monsters."
When returning to the Third Battalion, the atmosphere in Zhang Shen's small team was a bit depressing.
Although they have seen many lives and deaths, the death of a companion is still a sad thing.
"Logistics personnel will transport Zhang Shi's body back, so don't worry."
"You guys are tired today, go to bed early, we still have to continue the patrol tomorrow."
Everyone nodded. At this moment, there was no time for them to lick their wounds.
"Let's disperse." After saying this, Zhang Shen went to the command center. He also had to report the inspection situation and the battle damage, and at the same time send in another person to fill Zhang Shi's position.
"I understand. We will send another person in as soon as possible." The man from Hongyuan City who was in charge of this matter replied with red eyes. It can be seen that he had not slept well for a long time, and his pupils were full of bloodshot.
After returning to his tent, Zhang Shen felt mixed emotions. Although he remained calm, his cultivation was not very effective with his mood fluctuating.
Zhang Shen took out a piece of clean dried lotus leaf and put it directly into his mouth to chew without soaking it.
The bitter and refreshing taste goes down the throat and into the heart, dispelling the dullness in the mind and relieving the tense mental state under high pressure.
"The casualties are increasing. Should I take out the Pure Lotus Leaf
Come?"
Because of his personal experience, Zhang Shen understands how important it is to maintain a good mental state at times like this.
But after thinking for a moment, Zhang Shen gave up this option.
There are only so many pure lotus leaves in stock, and they cannot benefit everyone.
On the contrary, once it is revealed that he has the Pure Lotus Leaf in his hand, everyone will know that he was the one who plotted against the Wang family.
In an instant, all the troubles faced by the Wang family will fall on Hongyuan City.
The Wang family will also vent all their anger during this period on them.
The loss outweighs the gain.
"Sir, I'm here to deliver today's monster meat!" At this time, the cook's voice was heard outside the tent.
"Well, come in." Zhang Shen replied.
The cook outside then carried in two large basins of monster meat.
These monster meats are all from monsters killed by the Sixth Brigade during this period.
Part of it was transported back to Hongyuan City, and the rest was cooked and shared on the spot.
It is provided to warriors to restore the physical and internal strength consumed during patrols. At the same time, monster meat is also a great tonic that can help warriors in their training.
In this period of demonic tide, any increase in strength is a good thing.
Therefore, monster meat is freely available and you can eat as much as you want.
With this condition, Zhang Shen naturally wouldn't be polite.
At this time, the white jade lotus root had already been swallowed by him.
If you want to continue to improve, you need to consume other natural treasures or monster meat!
With sufficient monster meat, the elixirs and spiritual herbs in the storage bag can be preserved temporarily.
Zhang Shen didn't care about etiquette and grabbed a large piece of monster meat and swallowed it in big mouthfuls.
There is not much cooking involved, it is just simply cooked, but thanks to the quality of the meat itself, the taste is pretty good.
After two large basins of food entered his stomach, his belly began to bulge slightly.
But it was enough, these two big bowls were enough for him to finish until the next meal.
On the panel, as the body digests and absorbs the monster meat, experience points continue to appear and are added to the body's level.
The strongest physical system
Host: Zhang Shen
Physical level: Innate fourth level
Progress: 5%
Cultivation: Acquired Ninth Level
Progress: 57%
Progress of the skill: Mingyue Kung Fu, ninth level: 88% (great success)
Martial arts progress: Breath-Relieving Technique: 57%, Acquired Top-grade Flying Bird Step: 79% (the rest can be expanded)
Perfection Exercises (expandable)
Evaluation: With your lavish investment, your physical level has improved by leaps and bounds, but it is still far from the level you want.
Just as Zhang Shen expected, after swallowing the four white jade lotus roots, his physical body level reached 97% of the third level of innateness.
Afterwards, with the help of the large amount of monster meat he swallowed, he broke through another barrier in one fell swoop and became a powerful man of the fourth level of innateness.
Also, because the huge amount of resources he swallowed were all digested by his body, his cultivation progress was slow.
The 57% progress is due to the strengthening of the physical body, which is reflected in the improvement of cultivation.
On the contrary, in terms of martial arts, since it is swallowed by the physical body, there is no need for meditation.
So during his time in the tent, Zhang Shen used the time to rest and practice his martial arts.
He has some knowledge of the martial arts of the three tribes.
Among them, the Asuka Step is one of the martial arts that he attaches great importance to.
Ever since he perfected the Follow the Cloud Step, he discovered a flaw in his body movements.
The Cloud-Surrounding Steps were indeed mysterious and able to leave shadows behind, but they were not good at long-distance running and straight-line speed.
Although he can soar into the sky with his physical body.
But physical skills are still an important factor in combat.
With the blessing of the body method, you can fly.
Faster and more arrogant.
After swallowing the monster meat, Zhang Shen spent two hours reading through the martial arts secrets manual to deepen his memory and understanding.
Then he left the tent and went to an open space outside to practice.
There are already quite a few people exercising here.
Zhang Shen did not disturb them and practiced other low-level sword techniques and flying bird steps that he had learned.
It was not until late at night that he went back to rest for the next day's patrol.
It is precisely because of Zhang Shen's strength, hard work, and his cautious work style that people in the Sixth Squadron who were originally unfamiliar with him began to admire and respect him from the bottom of their hearts.
Invisibly, around Zhang Shen, Hongyuan City has already had the embryonic form of a new and powerful force.
This force is called the future.
Zhang Si, Lin Sanjue and others saw all this but did not try to stop it. Instead, they were happy to see it happen.
As time went by, the demon tide gradually reached its climax.
Both the number of beasts and their offensive power were incomparable to before, and had increased several times.
The delaying tactic no longer works.
You can only fight head-on.
But because of this strategy, the power of Hongyuan City was preserved. Although there was some damage, it was not significant and was within an acceptable range.
At the same time, the previous squad patrol mode can no longer be used.
At this time, if the team goes out for patrol, it will give the monsters a chance to surround and destroy them.
But the Sixth Battalion cannot lose control of the outside world just like that.
For this purpose, a reconnaissance team was formed by a group of skilled fighters.
Inquire and observe the movements of the demonic tide outside.
Zhang Shen was also among them.
There is no one with sufficient strength among them, so even if they find out the movements, they may not be able to pass the information back.
Especially for some urgent information, if you don’t run fast enough, the monsters may come to kill you before the information is transmitted back.
But this time Zhang Shen is not the captain.
He has high cultivation and runs fast, but lacks experience. Being an ace intelligence courier is the best choice for him.
In the swamp grass.
Zhang Shen and his group were buried there.
From afar, he watched the movements of a group of beasts in front of him.
This is the largest group of beasts near Hongyuan City.
There are several innate-level monsters inside, and more than a thousand acquired-level monsters, and the other cannon fodder beasts are even more numerous.
Once this group of monsters starts moving, Hongyuan City will have to mobilize all six teams to go all out in order to defeat them.
Zhang Shen and others didn't dare to get too close to observe.
I was afraid that I would be discovered by the other side and wouldn't be able to escape.
"What a terrifying aura!"
The perception brought by his innate physical body allowed Zhang Shen to clearly realize the power of this group of beasts.
Not to mention the number that is so daunting.
Among those innate monsters alone, there were two that gave him a feeling of invincibility and oppression.
You should know that Zhang Shen’s real strength is the fourth level of innateness.
Even so, I feel unmatched.
A terrible thought came to Zhang Shen's mind.
They are most likely demon beasts in the late innate stage!
This conclusion made Zhang Shen feel heavy and uneasy.
Among the seven nearby cities, only the Wang family of Jiuchuan City has the inheritance of the late innate stage, and there are strong people of the late innate stage openly.
The other six tribes do not have strong people of this level.
Once they take action, who in Hongyuan City can stop them
The huge pressure came all at once, making Zhang Shen even feel like he could hardly breathe.
"This information must be passed back!"
"It's better to be prepared than to be caught off guard!"
