Chapter 1363
The Fate of the Python River Army Squad
The Golden Horn Beast blended into the Nine Smoke Marsh's army of Law Masters. As different races, the Golden Horn Beast and humans naturally possessed distinct auras. Even the True Gods couldn't recognize that this Golden Horn Beast was the former Luo Feng. Moreover, in the Jinzhi World, there was no concept of avatar abilities, so no one could have imagined it. High above the Nine Smoke Marsh. The six Void True Gods from both Xuanyu Mountain and Nine Smoke Marsh were observing the battle below. "So that's how he escaped!" "That soldier actually carried an alien beast Law Master with him. Now, neither his former teammates nor the fifty True Gods from Nine Smoke Marsh searching for him will be able to find him." "He will surely leave Nine Smoke Marsh safely." Each Void True God commented. Nine Smoke also looked down, sighing softly, "To possess two mechanical stream treasures, especially that warship later on, although it should be a True God-tier mechanical treasure, its power is extremely strong. It's a top-grade among True God-tier machines. He's only a Law Master... Logically, he shouldn't be able to acquire such excellent mechanical stream treasures, yet he has them. It seems he is highly valued in the army." These six Void True Gods knew everything that was happening below. But they couldn't have imagined... that the talented soldier and the Golden Horn Beast were actually different divine bodies of the same powerful being. The Void True Gods controlled the entire battlefield and understood everything. Yet, they wouldn't intervene, nor dared to, as no one dared to challenge the unspoken rules of the Jinzhi World! Time flowed, months passed, and the entire battle had reached its final stage. "How can he not be found?" In the Xuanyu Mountain tribal warrior army, the captain was furious and unwilling. "Although the entire Nine Smoke Marsh is vast, the battlefields where Law Masters gather are limited. This new recruit Yinhe has nowhere else to escape! After all this time, he hasn't been discovered even once?" "Captain, we really can't find him." "We've searched everywhere." "Can't find him." One by one, the soldiers replied through their communication tokens. The captain, however, was still unwilling. Other soldiers didn't know, but he had personally witnessed Luo Feng killing that alien beast True God, and he was very aware of this new recruit's terrifying potential... He had originally planned to befriend him, but later, coveting the enormous military merits, he decided to act. The previous failure was one thing; he just hadn't expected this new recruit to possess a mechanical stream warship. But now, six months had passed, and new recruit Yinhe hadn't been discovered even once. "It's impossible not to find him, he's in these areas. Search, search! If you don't want to die, hurry up and search! The hope of completing the army mission rests on him." The captain grew anxious. Even if he didn't say it, those soldiers would all exert their utmost effort. "I don't believe it." The captain was truly anxious. "I can only tell those two groups the news." "Yuluo! Kufa! I have news for you... Several months ago, the True God who specialized in collecting True God corpses from the Nine Smoke Marsh side on the True God-tier battlefield perished, and his corpse was snatched by new recruit Yinhe. New recruit Yinhe now possesses over thirty True God corpses, and he is currently hiding in Nine Smoke Marsh." The captain directly sent this message to a large number of soldiers under his command. Except for Luo Feng. All other soldiers received the message! "What!" "Impossible." "That new recruit can obtain over thirty True God corpses?" "How could he have escaped alive?" One by one, the soldiers replied. "Believe it or not, that's the news. I've been tracking him for a long time, but he's too good at hiding." The captain didn't bother to say more. He believed that under the threat of the army mission... other soldiers would also try their best to find Luo Feng. With so many soldiers searching, the probability of finding him would greatly increase. "Hmph." The captain secretly thought, "With new recruit Yinhe's strength, Yuluo? Kufa? There's no chance of them succeeding. At most, they'll help me find new recruit Yinhe." In his heart, he didn't even consider Yuluo and Kufa's groups of soldiers. Yuluo and his group of alien beast soldiers were mixed in with the Nine Smoke Marsh side. "After all this time, we've only acquired over 20,000 weapons and armor. This is barely enough for two of us to complete the army mission, and it looks like the fighting between Xuanyu Mountain and Nine Smoke Marsh is weakening. It probably won't be long before it ends. Regardless of whether new recruit Yinhe has True God corpses or not, we must track him down." Yuluo roared via telepathy. "Search!" "Track down new recruit Yinhe." A frenzied glint appeared in the eyes of each alien beast soldier, a madness born of facing death. Kufa and his group of soldiers, on the other hand, were mixed in with the Xuanyu Mountain side. "We've acquired over 30,000 weapons and armor, but this is far from enough. Without the war, it'll be impossible for us to gather another 10,000 weapons and armor. Search... search for new recruit Yinhe." Although Kufa was usually humble, in the face of death, he would still grasp at this last straw. In the Nine Smoke Marsh army. Wuhe received the message from the captain. "Over thirty True God corpses, Yinhe?" Wuhe was greatly shocked, followed immediately by disbelief. He didn't believe it, nor did he want to believe it! "The military merits I've accumulated for so long are still far from 10,000. He alone got so many True God corpses?" Wuhe was unwilling to believe it, but from the message the captain sent, he had a feeling... that this matter was probably true. Otherwise, no matter how good the captain's imagination was, he wouldn't come up with such a ridiculous piece of news. Regret! A wave of regret surged in Wuhe's heart. "If only I had been with him back then, and he got thirty True God corpses, I wouldn't ask for much, just five or six..." Wuhe was anxious, regretful, and unwilling. All the soldiers of the Python River Army who had accepted the mission to Nine Smoke Marsh were now searching for new recruit Yinhe's location. But no matter how they searched, they couldn't find him. It was as if... new recruit Yinhe had already left Nine Smoke Marsh! "Everyone's looking for me?" The Golden Horn Luo Feng, amidst the alien beast army, had seen distant figures of soldiers several times, and had even spotted Wuhe twice! "Search all you want, you won't find me." The Golden Horn Luo Feng was entrenched in the swamp, half his body submerged in the water. Due to the prolonged fighting, both sides had suffered heavy losses. At this point... naturally, both sides began to control their forces and were no longer willing to continue the frenzied slaughter. Many alien beasts and tribal warriors had already retreated. "Yinhe, Yinhe, it's Wuhe." The Golden Horn Luo Feng grinned. Finally, a soldier contacted him. "Oh, Wuhe?" Luo Feng replied, "How is it? Have you accumulated enough military merits?" "No, 10,000 military merits are hard to come by." Wuhe quickly responded, "Yinhe, I just received news that the captain, Kufa, and Yuluo's three groups of soldiers are now looking for you, wanting to get True God corpses from you. And they've also categorized me, a new recruit, as being with you. I'm being ostracized by them too!" "Is that so?" Luo Feng responded. "Yinhe, we both joined the Python River Army together, both new recruits. I'm quite short on military merits right now. I'm not asking for much, but could you give me one True God corpse to help me out? I'll definitely trade treasures for it! I'm willing to exchange the True God combat armor my father gave me for it." Wuhe was anxious and hopeful. In Wuhe's view, he and Luo Feng were both new recruits, and he was offering a True God combat armor in exchange, so it shouldn't be difficult. "Trade?" Luo Feng mocked, "You want me to trade with you in Nine Smoke Marsh?" Wuhe immediately understood. At this moment, new recruit Yinhe would absolutely not reveal his whereabouts, so he naturally wouldn't come out to exchange with him. "Back at the military camp, we'll exchange back at the military camp." Wuhe quickly sent a message. "You're quite smart." Luo Feng secretly thought, this Wuhe had, after all, collected weapons and armor for so long, and he was also the son of the North True Sea Master, so he probably had some good stuff. "We'll trade when we get back to the military camp. But you'll need to bring out treasures of sufficient value then. If they're not valuable enough, it won't work." "Certainly, certainly." Wuhe secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Yinhe would ignore him again. Luo Feng, however, had already made up his mind. He would see what benefits 10,000 military merits could get him at the 'military supply point', and then he would naturally squeeze more out of Wuhe! For him, 10,000 military merits were just a bonus. But for Wuhe... it was a matter of survival. If the army wanted to kill him, even his father, the North True Sea Master, wouldn't dare to stop them. Wuhe contacted him first, and only a few days later, Kufa also contacted him. However, Wuhe was very tactful. Kufa and his group of soldiers didn't have many treasures to begin with, so they couldn't withstand Luo Feng's demands, and negotiations with Luo Feng broke down. "Don't take me for a fool, trading with you outside the military camp? Haha... then just wait to die!" After Luo Feng said this, he ignored any further messages from Kufa's side. It was originally a favor. Only by him granting a favor would the other party have a chance to live. Dare to negotiate terms with him? Then go die! This war lasted for over a year. As the six Void True Gods appeared one by one, the Xuanyu Mountain army quickly began to retreat. "Boom~~~" The Nine Smoke Marsh, which had been isolated by the void, returned to normal. "Let's go!" The vast Xuanyu Mountain army began to depart through the air. Some soldiers of the Python River Army, disguised as tribal warriors, quietly and swiftly hid in the peripheral areas of Nine Smoke Marsh during the retreat. "We haven't accumulated enough military merits yet." Kufa, Yuluo, and the captain's three groups of soldiers all looked at the rapidly departing Xuanyu Mountain army in the sky, feeling very unwilling. With the army retreating, they no longer had the opportunity to exploit the chaos, and things would become difficult from now on. "Seize!" "The captain and Kufa's two groups must have accumulated a lot of military merits. We'll seize them! Then we'll have a chance to live." Yuluo, leading his group of alien beast soldiers, was filled with endless killing intent. "Go seize military merits." Kufa also growled. "To survive, you must seize." The captain told his group of soldiers. All three groups of soldiers, without prior agreement, chose to engage in a battle. Only through battle... where the strong survive, could they accumulate enough military merits! If the three groups had left separately, they would probably have slaughtered each other internally. In the peripheral area of the vast Nine Smoke Marsh. A Golden Horn Beast and three other alien beast Law Masters conversed in the void. These were friends the Golden Horn Beast had made during the war. After a moment, they separated. "Time to return to the military camp." The Golden Horn Luo Feng looked back at the endless Nine Smoke Marsh shrouded in mist. He couldn't care less about the ultimate fate of the other Python River Army soldiers' struggles. At least, he was returning with a huge amount of military merits this time. Whoosh! On the outer periphery, with a single teleportation, the Golden Horn Beast had already vanished from the Nine Smoke Marsh.
