Chapter 174 The third round of mission is completed, promotion to seventh rank?

Zhao Xing launched the largest cloud technique in history.

Since the moment Xia Jing and others took their positions, his cloud-swallowing technique has never been interrupted, continuously swallowing the cloud mist in the sky.

After covering Yuncheng, it expanded to the surrounding areas, mainly covering the area south of Canglan River.

Theoretically speaking, there is no limit to the Cloud Swallowing Technique, only the caster has a limit.

In recent days, Zhao Xing has been practicing the Cloud Swallowing Technique, which has spread five hundred miles deep into the southern barbarians.

Thanks to the existence of Canglan River, there is no shortage of clouds, so Zhao Xing can maintain his spell easily.

The reason why Yuncheng is called Yuncheng is because there are clouds hanging in the sky all year round.

The Cloud Swallowing Technique that Zhao Xing used was not a complete one.

Except for Yuncheng, he has absolute coverage, and in other directions, he just extends his tentacles.

The cloud swallowing method constructs a series of "cloud roads" in the clouds in nature.

The flying boat shuttles through the "cloud road", and its safety and concealment are greatly guaranteed.

"You prepared really early." Xia Jing looked at the cloud-like mountains, and between these cloud mountains, there were "cloud roads" connecting them.

Even for a wizard who could also control the clouds, it would be difficult to detect, because Zhao Xing's cloud control method was very advanced and was no different from the clouds in nature.

"There are five hundred miles of cloud roads in every direction."

"The cloud paths in the sky form a strategic transportation network."

"Military officers can take a flying boat from Yuncheng and quickly reach 500 miles outside Yuncheng, and in any direction."

Xia Jing couldn't help but feel a little emotional, thinking how lucky he was.

Isn’t it lucky that I was assigned to Yuncheng and met Zhao Xing?
If it were another Si Nong, he would probably be chasing insects by now.

I have been sending messages to my friends since the end of Zi hour, and now it is the beginning of Yin hour.

Some people have already stood up and replied to Xia Jing after seeing the news.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

More than a hundred counties and prefectures along the Canglan River south of Jiutian Yingyuan Prefecture have been affected by the disaster.

There are different types of natural disasters. Some are floods, some are earthquakes, and some are snowy weather... but the worst-hit areas are all caused by the Insect Wizard.

In one of the counties, 70% of the officials and civilians have died!
Xia Jing still heard from others that the warrior friend to whom he had sent the letter had died in the disaster.

"Finally found."

Zhao Xing suddenly opened his eyes, stood up quickly, grabbed the rudder of the flying boat, turned the direction, and dived down.

"Get ready for battle!" Xia Jing shouted, and the others were also ready to fight.

We started searching at 5:05 a.m. and it's been almost an hour and a half now.

The witch's casting range is not that far, they just haven't found it yet.

Now, there is finally news.

"Mr. Wang!"

“Got it.” Wang Ji immediately understood and quickly activated the invisible magic circle on the Tiger Dragon Flying Boat. Then he shouted in the magic circle cabin: “Prepare the God-Breaking Crossbow!”

"Crossbow No. 1 is in place!"

……

"Crossbow number three is in place!"

……

"Crossbow No. 10 is in position!"

Immediately, many voices responded.

"Prepare to throw the net!"

"Net number one is in place!"

"Net number three is in place!"

……

"Net number ten is in place!"

Hearing Wang Ji's order, Zhao Xing opened the window and stuck his head out of the operating cabin: "Engineer Wang, there are only ten enemies. You don't need to use the God-breaking Crossbow, right?"

The window of the cabin at the back opened, and a half-bald head stuck out: "Hey, isn't this just a deterrent?"

Zhao Xing said helplessly: "I know my brothers are anxious, but don't get too excited. We don't have many God-breaking Crossbows in Yuncheng."

Wang Ji waved his finger between his eyebrows and said, "Don't worry, the God-Breaking Crossbow is recyclable. Besides, I will make more for you no matter how many you use up. I want you to have a good time today!"

After saying that, Wang Ji’s head shrank back with a whoosh.

Xia Jing was arranging the queue on the other side of the cabin.

"Brothers, did you hear what Mr. Wang said?"

"Their mechanical engineer wants to do our job. Can you agree?"

"No!"

Xia Jing smiled and said, "Okay, Zhao Sinong will lower the flying boat to 300 meters and then jump off. We will save some crossbows for Tiangongfang."

Crazy, everyone is going crazy.

The first two rounds of tasks mainly tested one's mind and courage. I finally made it to the third round, but when I analyzed the content of the tasks, I realized that I was just passively accepting the beatings.

Now that Zhao Xing has created an opportunity, everyone can't help themselves.

They all wanted to let go and kill wildly.

"Zhao Xing, how about our Minister of Agriculture..." Cao Shuang rubbed his hands.

Zhao Xing looked back and saw that Cao Shuang, Che Shihai and other military ministers were all ready to fight. Even Han Bing, who was usually cold, couldn't help himself.

"Go and give wind to the warriors."

"Don't let them fall to their death."

"Good Le!"

Jun Si Nong quickly stood on the deck.

Zhao Xing smiled.

It doesn’t really matter whether Jun Sinong takes action or not, because the third ring is only to prevent natural disasters from destroying Yuncheng.

They wanted to take action mainly to show their performance and leave an impression on the military leaders who were monitoring the place.

There are only ten people...there is not enough to share.

Zhao Xing himself had no intention of taking action at all, because there were more than 500 people on the Tiger Dragon Flying Boat!
"What is a saturation attack?"

Zhao Xing rubbed the rudder, causing the Tiger Dragon Flying Boat to hover in the low-altitude clouds.

At this time, it was only three hundred meters away from the ground.

"Swish, swish, swish~"

Warriors including Xia Jing, Chen Fang, Hu Bing, and Zhang Jie immediately jumped off the deck.

"Whoo~"

A gust of wind surrounded them, offsetting the wind resistance, and they descended silently and rapidly.

But they are not faster than the mechanical master.

Before Xia Jing jumped.

The net shot out from the bottom of the flying boat.

"Om~"

A net as thin as silk fell from the sky and covered Zhao Qi.

Zhao Qi didn't react until the net dropped to a height of fifty meters.

Because he released the flying locusts to monitor in the sky, although they were monitoring at an altitude of two hundred meters, the speed of the net was too fast.

By the time his flying locusts were cut to death and he received feedback, the net had already descended to a height of fifty meters.

Although the flying locust is not known for its defense, its shell is comparable to the third-level top-grade defensive armor.

It was cut into a dozen thin slices silently, and Zhao Qi immediately realized what kind of attack he had suffered.

"It's the Sky Dragnet!"

"At least a fourth-order Sky Net!"

Zhao Qi had no time to shout for a reminder and immediately took the most advantageous action for himself - bending down.

Because the most powerful treasure on him is the insect box on his back.

The rectangular insect box unfolded instantly, forming a shield.

Zhao Qi curled up on the ground, frantically activating the mechanism on the fourth-order insect box. At the same time, he released twelve phantom insects around.

"Chi~"

With Zhao Qi as the center, twelve green smoke beams were ejected in all directions, and the image of Zhao Qi was condensed in the smoke.

But the skin is covered with scales and fluffy hair.

The Great Zhou's Sky Net is often accompanied by tracking attacks from the Soul-Breaking Crossbow.

Using the five elements of life as the target, Zhao Qi's phantom insect can confuse the attack of the Soul-Breaking Crossbow.

"Kakakaka~"

The net rubbed against the insect box, emitting bursts of steam and fire.

Of the remaining ten insect wizards, only three reacted and performed the same action as Zhao Qi.

The other seven people just stood there in a daze. The next moment, their bodies scattered and turned into pieces of meat.

“Run apart!!!”

Zhao Qi shouted out at this time.

Facing a life-and-death crisis, Zhao Qi had no time to think otherwise. His only thought at this moment was to run!

If the Insect Wizard encounters the patrolling soldiers of the Great Zhou, he can only run away and not even think about fighting.

Their melee capabilities are too weak.

What's more, when it comes to sharp weapons, the Great Zhou has always crushed the Southern Barbarians.

Zhao Qi is the young chief of the Hana tribe, but his insect box is only of the fourth-grade top-quality level. The other elders only have one of the fourth-grade lower quality.

However, any soldier of the Great Zhou who dares to cross the border to patrol must have his flying boat equipped with a variety of fourth-order weapons, and they must be large-scale fourth-order magical weapons!
Maybe the equipment worn by the soldiers is more luxurious than that worn by him, the young patriarch!

"Boohoo!"

The next moment after Zhao Qi shouted, crossbow arrows fell from the sky.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!"

The crossbow is three meters long, and its arrowhead is a specially made golden drill head. It is hollow inside and has a wind-driven magic circle running. The arrowhead will rotate after being launched, increasing its armor-piercing ability.

The crossbow arrow is made up of three sections. In addition to providing power, the middle and rear sections can also explode to change the direction of the arrow to track and hit the enemy.

The Soul-Breaking Crossbow is the pinnacle of the Great Zhou Dynasty's Ministry of Industry. Even a small third-order crossbow arrow cannot be imitated by the southern barbarian tribes.

"Little Lord!"

"Pfft!"

"Boom!"

The other three wizards were nailed to the ground by crossbow arrows, and their bodies were sunk three feet into the ground.

Only Zhao Qi, who reacted first, activated the insect box and used the phantom insect, causing the crossbow arrows to shoot around him and not hit him directly.

But after landing, an air explosion occurred, and the aftermath directly knocked Zhao Qi over.

"What! How can the Soul Breaking Crossbow be so powerful!?"

Zhao Qi's heart was greatly shocked.

The soft armor on his body was cut directly by the fragments, revealing blood marks deep enough to see the bone under the skin.

However, worms soon emerged from his muscles, stuck together and repaired the wounds.

"It's not a third-tier Soul-Breaking Crossbow, it's a fourth-tier God-Breaking Crossbow! Hiss!"

Zhao Qi took a look at the fragments on the ground and fell into despair.

He couldn't help but look up.

I saw five hundred figures falling from the sky around me, and dozens of figures in the sky above me, brewing strong winds and thunder.

Tianluo leads the way, Poshen shoots, and there are so many warriors and mages.

What does it mean that there is no way to heaven and no door to earth?
"I am Zhao Qi, how can I be so worthy of your kindness..."

Any warrior's aura is not inferior to his.

Zhao Qi was in despair in an instant.

"Damn it, all these barbarians were shot to death by Wang Gong's men, and only this kind of bastard is left?"

"I give up. Tell Mr. Wang not to waste money next time."

"Five hundred brothers, all this has been in vain!"

"..."

Zhao Qi listened to the noisy sounds around him and then realized what he should do.

Committing suicide immediately.

No one can stop a bug wizard from committing suicide.

unless--

"Shhhhhh!"

Eighteen silver needles penetrated into Zhao Qi's body.

All the natal insects in Zhao Qi's body were sealed in an instant, especially the heart worm, which had already opened its mouthparts and wanted to pierce the master's heart, but was accurately nailed to death by the silver needle.

"You... Thirteen Ghost Needles!"

Zhao Qi was lying on the ground, his body twitching as the magic insect in his body lost control.

"Huh? You're quite knowledgeable." Yuan Yang came over in surprise, "This southern barbarian actually knows the Thirteen Ghost Needles. It looks like he's a big fish."

Zhao Xing also followed and took a look at Zhao Qi's whole body. "Although this person's realm is average, his status must be high. Search him first."

Xia Jing waved his hand, and three burly men who had practiced the Xuanwu secret technique rushed over and stripped Zhao Qi naked.

"What's the origin?"

"He should be the leader of a small tribe, or the leader's son."

The others took out their ground mirrors to look for relevant clues.

Zhao Xing looked at the patterns on Zhao Qi's face and chest, and compared them with the skin and clothing on his body.

He immediately said, "The feather symbol proves that he should be under the rule of the Golden Feather King's Court. The people chasing three silver moons indicate that their tribe is directly governed by a 'Silver Moon Lord'. The three silver moons represent the rank of the leader and are also a symbol of power. Silver Moon Lords are usually Earth Shamans."

"As for his own tribe, it should be called Hana."

As soon as Xia Jing saw Zhao Qi's reaction, he knew that Zhao Xing was right.

But he was a little puzzled: "Why didn't I find it? Where did you see it from?"

Zhao Xing smiled and said, "The tribe's history is not long, probably only three or four hundred years. The Great Zhou military is too lazy to update the situation of such a small tribe. Fifteen counties in Jiutian Yingyuan Prefecture have records of the Hana tribe in their county annals. It's normal that you don't know about it."

"You really only sleep for one hour a day?" Wang Ji looked at the top of Zhao Xing's head. "No wonder you have time to read so many things, but why don't you lose your hair?"

Zhao Xing just smiled and turned around to look for someone.

"Chen Fang, where is Chen Fang?"

"I'm here." Chen Fang ran over happily.

"You are the best at learning the common language of the Southern Barbarians, so I will leave him to you." Zhao Xing pointed at Zhao Qi, "Don't kill him. Although the Hana tribe is not a big fish, it is also a medium-sized one... Eh? Sorry, Brother Xia, I said the wrong thing."

"It's okay, it's okay." Xia Jing covered his mouth and nose, his throat moving, "I'm a little used to it..."

"I understand." Chen Fang said, "We need to find out the location of this kid's tribe, right?"

"Yes." Zhao Xing nodded.

There is one disadvantage in fighting the southern barbarians. Except for a few ethnic groups that have established their own countries, the rest of the tribes have no fixed territories and run around everywhere in the southern wilderness.

Because the weather is unpredictable, most barbarians do not have a "witch" who can control the weather and can only move to other places constantly.

As a result, the military was unable to provide them with accurate maps, and they could only rely on finding people to kill on their own.

"Leave it to me." Chen Fang patted his chest.

"No, I'll just give it to you to translate." Zhao Xing said, "Things like interrogation should be taught to Zhang Yi and the military doctor."

"Don't let him die before we get all the information out. The brothers' next mission depends on him."

"Understood!" Chen Fang picked up Zhao Qi and carried him onto the flying boat.

On the way back, Zhao Xing also received a message reminder from the military.

"The third ring mission is completed, huh? Temporary change from seventh rank to official seventh rank, can I be promoted?" Zhao Xing looked at the message in the ground mirror with some surprise.

　Guaranteed second update.

　　I won’t update today and will adjust my schedule.

　　In addition, this chapter says that Qidian is not displaying it, but it will be fine in two days.
