Chapter 40 Crossing the Border
The next morning.
Ye Tian woke up early and made all preparations.
He was wearing a neat dark blue suit, with a silver-based armor with blue patterns on the outside.
The long sword with the attribute of light was hung behind his waist, and the shield of light was carried on his back.
With his handsome face, he looks quite handsome.
(That’s pretty much it!)
"Are you okay, brother?"
There was a knock on the door again.
"Coming!" Ye Tian responded loudly, and then walked out of the room.
The moment she saw Ye Tian, Li Xin's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Wow, brother, you're so handsome wearing this outfit I gave you!"
It was indeed the equipment she had specially selected.
When worn by Ye Tian, this set of armor perfectly shows the latter's temperament.
Faced with the praise, Ye Tian couldn't help but smile slightly.
"let's go!"
The two of them walked out of the abode quickly. Long Haochen had been waiting downstairs for a long time.
At the entrance of the Haoyue Branch Hall, Nalan Shu and Ye Hua were standing here.
"Uncle Nalan."
Li Xin greeted with a smile.
Ye Tian and Long Haochen also saluted to the two of them respectively.
"Be careful next time and be sure to stay safe."
Nalan Shu and Ye Hua reminded seriously.
The scene before them was just like when they participated in the Demon Hunting Team trials, the elders were always worried.
"Don't worry Uncle Nalan, we will take good care of ourselves."
After a brief chat, the three of them headed towards the gathering place.
Li Xin rode on the Rose Unicorn which had grown to the peak of level five, while Ye Tian and Long Haochen rode on a strong horse respectively.
These two horses were specially prepared by Nalan Shu.
There's no way, Ling'er is now quite large and very conspicuous.
It would be easy to be discovered by the demons after crossing the border, so Ye Tian did not plan to summon it out before encountering difficult to resolve danger.
After a while, the three of them arrived at the east gate of Haoyue City.
This is also the place where we agreed to meet yesterday.
The Chen brothers, looking excited, were already waiting here, and just when Ye Tian and the others arrived, a carriage slowly drove over.
The curtain was lifted and Lin Jialu jumped out of the carriage.
Then another old man came out.
The old man looked to be in his sixties or seventies. His gray hair was combed meticulously, and the slightly scented hair wax made his short hair look shiny.
His eyes were slightly cold, arrogant and noble, giving people a feeling that he was difficult to approach.
He was wearing a light blue magic robe with the edges outlined with gold lines. The robe itself also exuded a faint metallic luster. The active wind element naturally swirled around his body.
"A wind magician?"
Ye Tian muttered to himself.
Although the old man in front of him did not have any obvious magical fluctuations, his faint aura still revealed his power.
Of course, this only applies to ordinary professionals.
The old man in front of him was a sixth-order, fourth-level great magician, and was already considered the backbone of the Temple Alliance.
The old man glanced at the six people calmly, then nodded lightly.
"Everyone is here, let's go!"
"I will not provide you with any help unless you plan to withdraw from the trials and ask me for help."
"It's up to you guys from now on!"
Leaving these words behind, the old man gently waved the staff in his hand.
A ball of green light instantly enveloped him.
Everyone only felt a flash before their eyes, and the Inspector from the Temple Alliance disappeared out of thin air.
Ye Tian clearly sensed that the other party was just hanging not far behind them.
"Everyone come over here!" Lin Jialu spoke softly, attracting everyone's attention.
The girl pulled out a map from her bosom and unfolded it.
"This is the route map to the demon territory. We need to go east across the border and sneak into the demon-controlled area."
"Also, this is the number plate for participating in the Demon Hunting Group Trials. Our identities, origins, and competition numbers are recorded on the back. Be sure to keep it safe."
As he spoke, Lin Jialu took out six round tokens and handed them to the other five people.
The token has an exquisite appearance and also emits magical fluctuations.
Everyone played with the tokens in their hands curiously.
At this moment, Lin Jialu continued to speak.
"Also, before we reach the demon territory, we'd better select someone to take charge, so that we can maximize the team's strength in case of danger. Do you have any ideas?"
After hearing this, several people did not have any objections.
Brothers Chen Chen and Chen Si were the first to respond.
"We don't have the talent for this, so we won't get involved."
The two of them still have a very clear positioning of themselves.
As soldiers, it is not a problem for them to serve as engineers, obey orders, fight and protect people, but it is really difficult for them to look at the overall situation and command and dispatch.
"How about you take charge, brother?"
Li Xin suddenly proposed.
Among all the people present, Ye Tian is the strongest, so there is nothing wrong with him taking command.
However, Ye Tian shook his head gently, "Let Sister Lin take command. She has always been in the rear and is the easiest to observe the battle situation. She is the most suitable person to take command."
"Haochen, what do you think?"
Long Haochen nodded gently, "I have no objection."
"That's decided for now, let's go now!"
Lin Jialu and Li Xin rode together, and the others followed on horseback.
We sped along the way without encountering any accidents.
However, we set out early in the morning and did not arrive at the border until the evening.
With the Demon Hunters' selection number, the six people successfully passed through the Templar Alliance's army garrison area.
After a brief rest, they continued to move forward quietly.
After crossing the border, Li Xin took back the Rose Unicorn as soon as possible.
Taking advantage of the night, the group crossed a vast hilly area, and ahead was the area where the demon creatures were active.
"Stop it first!"
Behind a huge rock, Lin Jialu took out the map again and asked everyone to stop.
"We have just left the border. If we continue to go east for more than 200 miles, we will reach the demon army camp."
"It's obviously unrealistic for us to attack the military camp, so we will focus on the demon scouts."
"For the rest of the journey, Li Xin and Brother Long will lead the way in the front, Chen Si and Chen Chen will guard the flanks, Brother Ye will guard the rear, and I will be in the center."
"Once you encounter the demons, follow my instructions."
Lin Jialu was exceptionally calm at this moment, with a hint of dignity on her beautiful face.
Coupled with her already cool face, she looks even more attractive.
"understand!"
Everyone nodded in response.
At the same time, emotions such as tension, excitement and even fear have quietly risen in my heart.
Of course, there is more passion and excitement!
"Haoyue, come out!"
Long Haochen exclaimed softly.
A black shadow flashed by, and the two-headed lizard Haoyue had quietly and silently come to Long Haochen's side.
Its appearance immediately scared the Chen brothers.
"This little guy is so scary!"
