Chapter 133: The Scouting Team Missed, Deep into the Demon Territory
After a while, footsteps were heard outside the barracks.
"The high leader is back."
Gao Yingjie opened the barracks door and walked in quickly.
"It seems that you all can't wait any longer. I won't waste my words. There are currently two trial tasks."
"Exorcist Pass has experienced a series of battles and suffered heavy losses."
"Especially after many warriors are injured by demons, their wounds will continue to be eroded by demonic energy, which will hinder the repair of the wounds."
"Only high-level priests can purify the demonic energy, but there are not many high-level priests in the Exorcism Pass, and they are simply too busy to handle it all. Therefore, we need to use special herbs called Exorcism Grass to relieve the pressure."
"The exorcist grass grows deep in the Demon-controlling Mountains. There are powerful monsters active there. Only a Level 5 professional can ensure safety."
"Now that the Exorcist Grass is in urgent need, the Exorcist Pass has issued a mission to send people into the Demon-Controlling Mountains to search for Exorcist Grass. The more the better."
Ye Tian's eyes flickered slightly.
It doesn't sound difficult.
There is no need to deal with the demons, you just need to find exorcist grass in the Demon-Controlling Mountains.
At most, you will encounter some powerful monsters.
However, Ye Tian did not rush to make a decision and continued to look at Gao Yingjie, "What is the other task?"
"The other mission is more dangerous. We will go to the demon tribe to investigate."
Ye Tian raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not ask any further questions. Instead, he waited quietly for what would happen next.
All I could hear was Gao Yingjie continuing to speak with a serious expression.
"Since the appearance of the three great demon gods last time, the demon clan's attacks have continued to be frequent, but it's just a lot of noise but little action."
"Especially after destroying the supply, the demons neither retreated nor launched a large-scale attack. This is obviously very abnormal."
"So the Exorcist Pass sent out a reconnaissance team to investigate the situation, but they failed to get any news from the two teams in a row."
Hearing this, Li Xin finally couldn't help but speak.
"Captain Gao, isn't it too hasty to entrust this kind of mission to the Demon Hunting Group?"
"Even the Assassin's Temple reconnaissance teams have disappeared one after another. Are you sure that the ten new demon hunting teams are not going to die?"
These words made Gao Yingjie couldn't help but smile.
"It's great that you thought of this. In fact, not all demon hunting groups can accept this mission. Only those recognized by the military are qualified."
"After all, you are the future of the Temple Alliance, and the Exorcist Pass will not let you die, right?"
"In the future, all demon hunting groups will be exposed to similar demon hunting missions, so this is just to let you adapt in advance."
Only then did everyone suddenly realize.
However, Gao Yingjie changed the subject.
"Don't be too happy too soon. This mission is not that easy. After all, it is close to the demon camp and it is inevitable that we will encounter attacks from high-level demons. So you should think carefully about whether to take it or not."
In response to Gao Yingjie's instructions, Ye Tian just smiled slightly.
Wang Yuanyuan spoke first, "It's great to meet the demons. I've been resting for so long, I feel a little itchy."
"Xiaotian, why don't we take this mission!"
"What's everyone's opinion?"
Ye Tian did not respond immediately, but looked at other people.
"Everything is decided by the leader."
Seeing that everyone agreed, Ye Tian turned to Gao Yingjie.
"Captain Gao, can we take both missions?"
Gao Yingjie was slightly stunned, then he burst out laughing, "You are really greedy, but you can only choose one of the two."
"That's a pity," Ye Tian said with a look of regret, "We chose the intelligence gathering mission."
"I had expected you to make this choice. I have already received the mission for you and you can set off at any time."
"Thank you, Captain Gao."
"Then there is no time to lose, let's set off immediately."
Ye Tian took everyone with him and left the Exorcist Pass. It took him about three hours to cross the Demon Mountain Range and enter the Demon Clan's territory again.
Last time, ten demon hunting groups were carrying out the mission together, but now there is only the Sergeant-level No. 1 Demon Hunting Group.
"Keep on going!"
There are no large mounts, so you can only walk.
Along the way, Mina couldn't help but ask, "Captain, how are we going to complete this mission?"
"If we want to investigate the reason why the reconnaissance team disappeared, we must enter the demon camp. Isn't that a bit too dangerous?"
The expressions of the others suddenly became serious.
No matter how confident they are, they don't have the courage to attack the demon camp.
"Don't worry, let's go to the demon camp and take a look at the situation first."
Ye Tian seemed exceptionally calm.
The mission requirement is simply to investigate the situation.
We just need to find out the specific reasons why the reconnaissance team disappeared. If we can rescue them, that would be great, but if we can't, it doesn't matter.
Perhaps the Exorcist Pass military had already made preparations before issuing the mission.
The reconnaissance team went missing, most likely having fallen into the hands of the demons.
I'm afraid he is completely dead now.
This mission is probably just a confirmation. If the reconnaissance team is still alive, we will naturally find a way to rescue them, even if it means exchanging food for them.
After all, the demons are quite short of food.
When faced with some special treasures, the Temple Alliance would sometimes conduct transactions with the demons, so that both sides could get what they needed.
Six thousand years of war have created an irreconcilable relationship between humans and demons, but there are also variables throughout the war.
They all ran along, crossing the plain carefully.
During this period, with the help of Mina's Eye of Truth, no invisible people from the Di Ke tribe and reconnaissance soldiers from the Ruk tribe were discovered.
They hid their figures all the way and soon arrived at the heart of the demon clan.
This is in the mountains.
The sky was pitch black, the ground was extremely desolate, nothing could be seen clearly, and the air was filled with the stench of scorched earth.
"Stop!"
Ye Tian suddenly let out a soft cry.
Everyone obeyed the order and hid themselves.
At the entrance ahead, a team of Zelin clan double-blade demons walked slowly by, led by a emerald green double-blade demon.
Obviously they are the guards of the demon camp.
This is just the edge of the camp, there is an even more powerful aura inside.
"This is the demon camp. It feels so scary!"
Seeing this scene, Mina couldn't help swallowing.
It’s no wonder she was scared, it was really scary.
"Captain, do we really want to sneak in and investigate?" Mina pointed in the direction of the demon camp and couldn't help asking.
Gao Yingjie at the side also spoke in a deep voice, "Ye Tian, I also hope that you can be a little more rational."
"Don't worry, Captain Gao. I won't lead you to die."
"Of course we have to investigate the intelligence. Let's wait here for a while and see if we can catch a spy. It would be even better if we can find out the situation without entering the demon camp!"
Hearing Ye Tian's words, Gao Yingjie immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Just stay calm."
Ye Tian smiled slightly, "Captain Gao, what you said is not true. I will not take my teammates to die voluntarily."
"Even if the mission fails, I will always prioritize safety!"
