Chapter 153: Exorcist Pass Battlefield, Night Battle
Although Cai'er still couldn't accept and forgive what her family had done, fortunately she no longer opposed Xingyuan's contact with them.
"I only ask one thing of you, Xingyuan."
Cai'er bit her lip and said, "Don't let me go to see them. Let's keep this situation going, okay?"
"……I promise you."
Perhaps considering that they sent Xingyuan to her, Cai'er's hatred for them might be reduced, but she also has her own bottom line.
Although Xingyuan felt that if he took a tougher stance and put pressure on Caier, she would most likely listen to him and reconcile with her family.
But Xingyuan didn't want to do this, because it would definitely make Cai'er sad, and she was definitely not sincere in reconciling with her family, so she would not be recognized by the Samsara Spirit Furnace and would not pass the test.
In the end, Xingyuan's main purpose was to prevent Cai'er from having her five senses and six consciousnesses stripped away by the Reincarnation Spirit Furnace.
If this is not possible, then he hopes Cai'er can be happy.
Since reconciling with the family and helping Cai'er pass the reincarnation inheritance test in the original plot line is not feasible, Xingyuan can only start from another direction.
That is the reincarnation spirit furnace itself.
How can a mere spiritual furnace cause so many problems? You are the inheritance of the god of death that flowed into the world, so what? I have plenty of ways to find someone to cure you.
Just this way...
We have to win the championship of this team competition.
Xingyuan looked at Cai'er who was lying on the bed with her back to him, smiled, and lay down beside her with her clothes on.
"Xingyuan, don't you dislike sleeping with clothes on?" Cai'er suddenly turned around and asked.
"……Well."
Xingyuan was silent for a while, turned around to look at the bed between them and Li Xin and the others, then turned back to look at Cai'er's eyes full of curiosity and innocence...
"I'm sorry."
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of laughter came from next door.
Yue Mingnan said from the next room: "It's okay, Captain. Just set up the soundproof barrier. We won't go over to peek."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
The only bad thing about the whole demon hunting group is that he, Xingyuan, is the only male member. I don’t know if it’s because of the metaphysical yin and yang, or because they have always been so carefree, or maybe there are other reasons...
Xingyuan always felt that they had a strange feeling towards him.
It would be fine if it was only Chen Ying'er, after all, adolescent girls have rich emotions and dare to love and hate. However, Xingyuan has discovered recently that it seems that there is not only Chen Ying'er in his demon hunting team. The relationship between him and other members seems to be a little bit different from that of ordinary teammates.
Could it be that they all want to climb to his star source like Chen Ying'er?
"Why don't you hurry up and practice? Do you think your cultivation is higher than ours? Are you just imitating our two captains and being lazy?"
After sending all the people who were eavesdropping from the next door to practice, Xingyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, he was also wondering whether he should be stricter with them in normal times, to prevent one or two of them from being dishonest, ambitious, and coveting him as the group leader.
……
It was midnight. "Ding ding ding ding ding—"
A series of harsh metallic sounds came from outside, followed by noisy metal clanging, heavy footsteps, and calling out, instantly waking up the members of Class One who were resting and practicing in the dormitory.
"Xingyuan, this is the assembly order."
Noticing that Xingyuan, who was woken up, looked a little sleepy, Cai'er couldn't help but feel a little surprised that Xingyuan's sleep quality was so good. Was it because he slept with her?
"I know."
Xingyuan took out a wet towel from his storage ring and wiped his face. "Do you know where to meet?"
"Ah."
No matter what, Cai'er is the deputy captain of the No. 1 sergeant. Without Xingyuan, she is the boss of the entire team, so naturally she has to help share some of the work.
"Then change into your military uniform and go over there quickly."
Now that the decision has been made and there is a reason to win the first place in this team competition, Xingyuan is also fully prepared and will not miss any opportunity to earn merit.
Cai'er moved quickly and changed into her military uniform in no time.
Xingyuan did not change into military uniform. On the one hand, he did not want to change clothes in front of Chen Ying'er and others. On the other hand, the Exorcist Level did not require them, the mages, to wear military uniforms. After all, they had to wear a robe on the outside.
"let's go."
Xingyuan called Li Xin and others who were already ready to go from next door, and joined the team in the corridor outside the dormitory.
Since the battalion commander had already shown Cai'er and the others the area of the city wall that their No. 1 Sergeant Demon Hunting Group was responsible for, now all Xingyuan, as the group leader, had to do was to report to the other party and let them remember that he was the leader of the No. 1 Sergeant Demon Hunting Group.
Although the Exorcist Pass was connected to the Exorcist City in the rear, thanks to the fact that the Exorcist Pass had a long enough front line and the Exorcist City was located in the wind direction of the battlefield, Xingyuan had never smelled the blood coming from the front line even once when he was in the city.
It was not until Xingyuan actually stood on the wall of Exorcist Pass that he understood that any corner of this mighty pass was over fifty meters wide, and the widest part was even over a hundred meters wide.
If you can smell the blood coming from this side in the Exorcist City, it can only mean that this fortress has been conquered by the demons.
The strong fishy smell penetrated into the nostrils of Xingyuan and others, making everyone frown.
The blood of the demons is smelly and sticky, and the color varies depending on the race.
Xingyuan had not faced the demons many times. He had only participated in the mission of clearing out the demons that had infiltrated the alliance during his training in Jialing City.
Although the number of demons who died at Xingyuan's hands was not large, looking at the large number of demon armies that were crowded all over the mountains and plains below the city, Xingyuan did not have any major feelings other than feeling that the scene was somewhat spectacular.
The reason is simple, because the troops below are just a bunch of miscellaneous demon troops whose average strength is only that of second- and third-level human warriors, the Demon Double-Sword Demon Legion, which is known as cannon fodder.
"Brothers from the Fourth Battalion can withdraw now. The new Demon Hunting Group we've been talking about for the past few days is here to take over!"
Behind him, the voice of the battalion commander whom Xingyuan had just met came. In an instant, the tired-looking soldiers standing on the city wall did not hesitate at all. Those with minor injuries picked up those who could not walk and walked past Xingyuan and others.
"I'll leave this to you. If there's any problem, sound the alarm at any time and brothers from other battalions will come to help you."
The battalion commander of the first battalion was a middle-aged man who was not very tall. He wiped his bloody hands on his pants, then stretched out his hand towards Xingyuan.
