C126 Cannon Fodder
"Tieh Hsing, greetings to Elder Ouyang Qing, Instructor Xing, and Elder Zhou. May I ask what you know about this mountain?" These few big shots stood in a circle in the middle of the flat ground. Tieh Hsing, the commander of the Iron Sword Devil Hunting Squad, asked respectfully.
His respectful attitude made most of the people at the side who did not know what was going on secretly speechless. They guessed who these people were! Even the leader of the Demon Hunters Guild, Tieh Hsing, could be so humble in Yanhuang Empire!
In the Iron Sword Devil Hunting Squad, there were as many experts as the clouds! Not to mention that Tieh Hsing was a Marshal himself, even his three deputy commanders were Essencel General warriors. Such a line-up basically allowed them to do whatever they wanted in some small countries. Their strength was absolutely terrifying.
And these few people's identities would probably be even more terrifying! Otherwise, they wouldn't have let this domineering Guild Leader speak so softly in such a manner that lowered his status.
Ever since Xiao Jian stepped onto this mountain peak, he had vaguely felt a strong sense of danger. Furthermore, on the battlefield, waves of pressure unconsciously pressed down on everyone present.
It made Xiao Jian feel incomparably uncomfortable. His heart was in turmoil, as if he was going to vomit it out.
Xiao Jian discovered that some small groups and lone warriors were subconsciously retreating and slowly distancing themselves from the four square arrays.
Xiao Jian also withdrew from this area. Once he withdrew from the 600 square meters flat open space, Xiao Jian immediately felt relieved in his heart. He was like a person who had held his breath for a long time. Suddenly, he took a sip of fresh air, and his whole body felt relaxed and comfortable.
Xiao Jian knew that he had probably met an incredible expert today. This was definitely an expert who had surpassed him by far.
He only saw the people from the four teams. As if nothing had happened, they were not affected in the slightest.
Everyone knew that this was the Four Great Forces showing off their strength to the lone travelers and the warriors of the Minor Devil Hunting Squad, so that they could understand the gap between them and the other teams, so that they could divide the profits later.
The leaders of the four teams in the middle surrounded them. They were whispering to each other in a small circle, but when they looked at them, they would glance in the direction of Xiao Jian and the others from time to time.
With Xiao Jian's experience of human nature in his previous life, he knew that there would definitely not be any good things later. Thus, he subconsciously backed away from the crowd.
Just as Xiao Jian stepped behind the crowd, a man from the Iron Sword Devil Hunting Squad with a ferocious scar on his face walked towards them. He was a man with a scar that extended from his forehead all the way to his face.
"Hello everyone. I am the deputy commander of the Iron Sword Devil Hunting Squad, Deng Lee. I believe everyone is curious about the matter that the four lords discussed just now. Well then, I will tell you all about it now.
"After an unanimous confirmation from the few of you, there is indeed something strange about this place. He wanted to send some people to investigate this place. If this place is really the cave of an ancient expert, then. . . He had to follow every group, every group. . . The number of people sent forward will determine the number of people who will retreat into the ancient cave. "
Hearing Deng Lee's thunderous words, there was a commotion below. A few hundred people were making noises that shook the entire area, causing beast roars to be heard not far away.
However, the noise only lasted for a moment. Then, like a drum that reached the sky, it slowly stopped.
Deng Lee looked at the people who had gradually calmed down and revealed a trace of satisfaction on his face.
He cleared his throat and slowly said, "Alright. Now, each of the major powers has sent five members to come forward. Together with the others, they entered the Sharp Horn Peak to explore. Of course, everything was dangerous. However, things were always the opposite. There were dangers and opportunities at the same time. As cultivators, we should be brave enough to face every challenge. When faced with a problem, we must face it head on. Only then can we step one step closer to the ultimate peak. And from there, he would finally step into the ultimate realm that everyone looked up to. If. . . If we encounter danger, difficulties, and tests, we won't even be able to pass them. If we subconsciously choose to retreat and dodge, then. . . I think, you will never be able to walk very far on the path of martial artists. If you have such friends, I advise you to go back! The path of martial artists is not suitable for you. I advise you to go home and marry a woman. Marry and have children!"
"Haha! Right, right! People like this should find a woman and go home to pass down their legacy to the next generation. In the world of martial artists, fighting with blood and fire is not suitable for them! "
Many lone warriors and team members echoed Deng Lee's thought-provoking remarks one by one.
Deng Lee waved his hand and was very satisfied. Everyone's reaction caused the scene to once again quieten down.
"Now, is there anyone else who wants to withdraw? If they don't withdraw at this time, then. . . If they don't want to contribute, then the matter of the ancient cave will be confirmed. If you want to participate in this expedition, don't blame the Four Great Forces for joining forces to kill you. . . To put it bluntly, everyone had joined forces. We won't be able to defeat you all. Therefore, I advise those small groups and lone travelers who are scheming in their hearts. It would be best if they don't have such thoughts. If you don't believe me, You can try as well. "
"Now, the team that has been decided will send your people to the front. As long as the team members enter and discover something, we will agree to let them enter. If they obtain something from within, they will be given an extra item to their team. "
Deng Lee's team. His words caused another uproar.
Xiao Jian found that there were still nearly a hundred people. After struggling for a while, he turned around and walked out of the forest. It seemed like they didn't want to enter the forest anymore. They had already chosen to give up this rare opportunity.
Everyone on the scene looked at over a hundred people with disdain and disdain in their eyes.
After the hundred or so people left, there were only three hundred or so people left besides the four big groups. There were two hundred or so people in the small group and a hundred or so lone warriors.
After the three hundred people left, thirty people walked out from the group.
Deng Lee shifted his gaze to the group of one hundred lone warriors that Xiao Jian was in, and looked at the two people in front of him. A burly man about 1. 9 meters tall with a big waist and a round waist, and a skinny old man. His entire body was like a bag of skin and bones. He said, "Iron Bull. Old Man Yin, the two of you will take five each. Come out!"1
The two men who were called looked at each other. A pair of cow eyes the size of lanterns swept across the lone warriors one by one.
Anyone who was glared at by him could not help but sweat profusely on their foreheads. They were very nervous, afraid that they would be called.
As for the old man called Old Man Yin, when his cold eyes swept across everyone, it was another scene.
Each and every one of them looked like needles on their backs. Cold sweat was dripping down their backs and their bodies were cold.
The two of them swept across the crowd's faces one by one and picked out those who were not mentally strong enough. The old man called Old Man Yin's cold eyes swept across Xiao Jian's body, and a hint of surprise flashed in the depths of his eyes. However, he didn't pay too much attention to it.
Very quickly, all ten of them were selected. Fortunately, Xiao Jian wasn't among them.
The selected person had a bitter expression on his face. Under the gazes of everyone present, he braced himself and walked forward.
Actually, everyone knew very well that they were merely cannon fodder. However, those who were chosen felt helpless. Perhaps they all had a kind of determination in their hearts! They had no choice but to do such a thing in the face of such an outcome.
