C190 I Really Can't Afford to Hire Him

On the boundless ocean, waves were surging and dark tides were rising. This was one of the most dangerous forbidden areas in the Blue Star, the deep ocean zone.

Apart from the harsh natural conditions, the biggest danger here was the various kinds of ocean mutated beast hidden within.

The ocean was the place with the most number of beasts. With a large number of them, it meant that there were more mutated and evolved mutated beast, and the number of experts that appeared under the survival of the fittest would also increase.

According to incomplete statistics, the number of mutated beasts in the ocean was several times more than the total number on the world's mainland.

And the Beast King that posed the greatest threat to mankind was similarly a large number in the ocean.

Some people said that if it wasn't for the fact that most of the mutated beast in the ocean didn't like land, there would have been no humans in the Blue Star a long time ago.

Therefore, the deep sea was the true forbidden zone for humans, and it was extremely dangerous.

However, under the hundreds of years of technology and evolution of mankind, there were also some deep sea regions that were explored by the human experts, and they had a relatively safe activity area.

Right now, a submarine that could resist the attacks of ordinary Beast Kings was moving close to the open sea area of Devil City.

This kind of submarine could also simulate the aura of marine fish and not be targeted by the overlords of the sea unless they provoked them of their own accord.

Inside the submarine, Piao Zhenhai was pacing back and forth anxiously. Behind him was an old servant who had reached the Level 2 Martial King, and he was currently resting with his eyes closed.

"Is there still no news?" Piao Zhenhai did not know how many times he had asked.

The young man who was operating the encrypted communication device turned around and said respectfully, "Young master, we still can't contact them. The scene in front of us is also jammed. We can't see them at all."

"Ah Xi." Piao Zhenhai impatiently cursed in a low voice, "As a dignified Martial King, does it take so long to deal with a puny little Lu Chong?"

"Contact the people of the cherry blossom group and see if there's any news from them?" Piao Zhenhai suddenly said.

The young man quickly stopped, but his face quickly turned pale and he said, "I can't contact them, young master."

Piao Zhenhai became even more anxious. He was already a little lost. The appointed time had clearly passed, and whether he had succeeded or not, there should be some news.

At this moment, the old servant behind Piao Zhenhai suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Young Master, the time has passed. It's time for us to go back."

"This place is extremely dangerous. We shouldn't stay here for long."

Piao Zhenhai's expression became even uglier. He didn't dare refute the old servant, because this was the guard his father had sent him. He wasn't completely under his command.

On the contrary, he had to be supervised by this old servant.

"However, if Elder Lee succeeds and we aren't able to receive him here, wouldn't he be killed?" Piao Zhenhai said carefully.

What he cared about was not Elder Lee's life, but whether Elder Lee could succeed, and whether he could safely return to be his right-hand man.

If he could succeed, then he would be a great merit this time.

It would be even better if Elder Lee could safely return to the country.

Because Elder Lee was on his mother's side. In the future, she would definitely support him in getting promoted.

Unfortunately, the old servant was obviously not at his mercy. He said indifferently, "The appointed time has come. We must return now."

"Young Master, there is a saying in Flame Country. When there is a green mountain, there is no need to worry about the lack of firewood. You still have a chance." The old servant rarely consoled him.

Piao Zhenhai turned his head and looked at the old servant in surprise and bewilderment. "You are saying?"

The old servant nodded and said, "In a place of opportunity, you still have a chance to win."

"That's right." Piao Zhenhai clapped his hands and said, "I'm already a Level 2 Martial Grandmaster now, and I'm not in virtual space this time. As long as I plan carefully, I will definitely have a bright future."

"Let's go!" Piao Zhenhai ordered. "Let's go back to our country now. I want to shut my doors and cultivate hard, and I want to recruit all the people who are going to the Land of Destinies."

The submarine resolutely dropped its head and swam towards the small country in the north.

...

In the stronghold's military camp, Lu Chong quickly saw the dignified and calm Tang Feihu once again.

Although his heart was bleeding, Tang Feihu also knew that Lu Chong was the biggest potential stock worth the military's attention.

"You guys go and rest first. Remember, do not disclose anything about Lu Chong today." Tang Feihu looked at the people from Shadow Squad and ordered.

"Yes, Chief." The five men from the Shadow Squad quickly saluted and left.

When there were only two men left in the tent, Tang Feihu slightly restrained his dignified expression and said, "Junior brother, to tell you the truth, you have completed your mission very well. It has far exceeded our expectations."

"The corresponding military merits will be given to you soon."

Tang Feihu did not wait for Lu Chong to reply and continued, "If you are a soldier, just based on the military merits this time, I can make an exception and promote you again."

"But now, I can only help you apply for the rank of colonel. I hope you can understand." Tang Feihu's words had a hidden meaning.

How could Lu Chong not know that he wanted to pull him into the army?

However, Lu Chong had already made up his mind and did not want to be restricted.

"Thank you for your kindness, senior brother. I'm already very satisfied to have such a harvest." Lu Chong said in a euphemistic manner.

Tang Feihu secretly sighed and said, "Fine. Apart from military merits and military rank, the Human Rank and Earth Rank martial arts in the military will be open to you for free in the future."

"This is also what Teacher Zheng fought for you. It should be of great help to you." Tang Feihu said.

"However, the inheritance of martial arts has always been strictly examined. I believe you understand the things that need to be taken note of."

Lu Chong nodded seriously, "Senior brother, please rest assured. There will definitely not be any inheritance of martial arts that will be leaked from me."

"Alright, that's all I have to say. You can go back now." Tang Feihu said tiredly, mainly because he was tired of negotiating with his teacher.

Although the Devil City military had a lot of resources, they had really spent a lot of money to reward Lu Chong.

Lu Chong stood up, but he did not leave immediately. Instead, he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Is there something else?" Tang Feihu asked.

Lu Chong was a little embarrassed and said, "Senior brother, I just want to know, is this mission considered to have been completed?"

"If there are spies hiding, I can actually continue to help the military attract them out." Lu Chong said confidently.

Removing spies was one of the reasons. Lu Chong still wanted to exchange blows with those foreign experts to take the opportunity to increase his martial arts true meaning.

Tang Feihu waved his hand repeatedly, "Don't. This time, it's really gone. You have already completed the mission beyond your expectations."

"Even the Martial King of H Country who had been hiding for a hundred years was dug out and captured alive. Even if there are still some prawn soldiers and crab generals, they definitely won't dare to show their faces in a short period of time."

"Leave the rest of the small matters to us." Tang Feihu saw that Lu Chong still wanted more, so he quickly emphasized.

He really couldn't afford to invite Lu Chong anymore. After realizing Lu Chong's true value and potential, even Tang Feihu didn't dare to let Lu Chong take the risk anymore.

A seedling who might surpass his teacher in the future and even affect the fate of the country, how would he dare to let him take the risk so easily?1
