The na of the middle route is Kaiping Road, a wide and flat avenue, and it’s also the main path for the Demon Beast army to transport supplies.
If the camp can exist long-term and block this road, it would greatly hinder the efficiency of enemy supply transportation, but unfortunately, it cannot be blocked.
This place can only serve as a temporary base for the surprise attack troops. Once discovered by the enemy, it will beco a target for encirclent, leading to the annihilation of the entire army. Moreover, the Liangting army ca here for a surprise attack, lacking a supply line itself, it’s a one-ti deal; regardless of success or failure, they have to leave after the attack.
At this mont, Li Rui is following the central army, moving at a fast pace.
Although it’s a feigned attack, one cannot slack off. To attract the enemy’s main force, it must seem sowhat threatening. A suddenly appearing army is certainly considered a threat.
As the recruited cultivators, Li Rui and others are responsible for reconnaissance tasks.
Chang Fei respects him greatly, without directly issuing orders, instead asking, "Brother Li, we need to stop and rest now, and send people ahead to clear out enemy scouts, can you...?"
[Side Mission: Reconnaissance.]
[Mission Objective: Explore ahead, search for enemy scouts.]
[Mission Rewards: 1. 20000 XP per scout killed, x2 random quality consumable items, x1 random quality enhancent material. 2. 35000 XP per scout captured alive, 1 free attribute point, x2 random quality consumable items.]
Capturing alive is much more difficult than killing, so the rewards are naturally higher.
"Of course, Brother Chang, you’re too polite, just assign the tasks, no need to be courteous." Li Rui imdiately agreed.
From this mont, Zhao Jia gradually realized that the situation was getting out of control.
Normally, reconnaissance tasks are forcibly assigned, exploring a certain direction and then reporting enemy situations, earning tens of thousands of XP, a small amount of items and materials as rewards.
But now, perhaps due to Chang Fei’s uneasy request, the task rewards have changed.
Free attribute point!
Although at high levels, everyone’s equipnt has so color, at least it’s of excellent quality, with gradually more attribute points added.
But the attribute points given by tasks are still important; the gap between people is gradually widened like this.
Again, networking plays a role! If it weren’t for Li Rui and Ning Huchen being closely related, Chang Fei certainly wouldn’t be this polite.
Zhao Jia muttered, "If we can catch three or five scouts, wouldn’t it be a huge gain?"
Upon hearing this, Li Rui glanced at him, "Three or five?"
Zhao Jia imdiately rembered there are two supports here, changed his words, "Well, one or two will do, having so is better than none."
"....."
Li Rui didn’t say much, he just led the way, "Better first see the strength of the enemy."
Zhao Jia followed with a longsword, the two defined an exploration direction and ran into the forest.
Breaking away from the main army, Li Rui could sprint freely in the forest. However, after rushing for a while, he suddenly felt sothing was wrong.
"Where’s everyone?"
He stopped and looked back, half a minute later, Zhao Jia caught up.
"Why did you run so fast!"
Due to the rugged forest, this analyst’s physique couldn’t quite keep up, considering normal support professions inherently have weaker combat attributes compared to assault professions.
Though Rain Summoner is also a support, according to Song Yao, the Divine Fire General is an elite amongst elites, not to ntion Li Rui’s attributes are always maxed, so his speed is very reasonable for him, normal that others can’t keep up.
"Hey, Brother Zhao, quickly analyze which areas nearby have scouts."
Zhao Jia hesitated for a mont, then pulled out a monocle and activated an environnt search skill.
Compared to Wen Yan, a pure logistics personnel, his analytical skills are more inclined towards strategic and tactical support, being quite adept at everything from simulating sandboxes to searching for traces of enemies.
The monocle worn on his face is an epic level accessory, analyst-specific, with included passive skills that enhance analytical capabilities.
For soone leveled up to around 40, reaching a baseline of epic level equipnt on oneself at least is expected.
"This way, follow ."
Zhao Jia said softly and stepped forward over the shrub ahead.
Li Rui had to patiently follow behind. After a while, the two saw a burnt-out campfire, with so bloodstains beside it, seemingly not left from a battle.
So mbers of the Demon Race and Barbaric Beasts still retain the habit of eating raw at.
Zhao Jia walked to the campfire, muttering while touching the leftover charcoal, "Too careless, daring to start a fire, if we had co a little earlier, we could have ambushed them."
He placed the still warm charcoal down, then activated analytical skills.
"Wait, there are traces."
His gaze left from the edge of the campfire, tracing continuously until reaching beneath a large tree not far away...
"Ambush!"
Without ti for more words, he suddenly shouted out a warning.
At this mont, the golden face of a Leopard Demon Race mber lood larger within view.
This is a trap, using the burnt-out campfire to attract attention, creating an illusion that they’ve left, waiting to ambush newcors investigating the campfire.
Felines are natural hunters, further evolved into the Demon Race, their concealnt tactics are heightened, Zhao Jia hadn’t anticipated this at all.
Are all scouts in a nine-star Secret Realm this strong?
Before he could decide whether to withstand the hit or use the rare item he had hoarded for self-preservation, Li Rui charged forth from the side, jumped up without a word, and gave a solid punch.
Bam!
The Leopard Demon spun 720 degrees mid-air, collapsing onto the ground with blood flowing from his seven apertures.
[20000 XP earned.]
[Acquired...]
The assessnt was made.
Though Zhao Jia considered himself a well-experienced middle-aged man, he still couldn’t manage his expression at this mont, gaping for quite a while without saying anything.
A hefty punch directly knocked the creature dead?
That was a Leopard Race with considerable battle strength!
Are Rain Summoners from your place of such strength?
anwhile, Li Rui stood with arms akimbo, frowning, "Damn, I didn’t even use much force, next ti shouldn’t aim for the face."
The face-targeting with critical strike abilities led him to misjudge the force.
At this mont, Zhao Jia was increasingly sensing things were getting bizarre.
He’s not so inexperienced youth, being level 38, it’s easy for him to gauge others’ strength, this punch seed casual but was full in speed and power.
As an analyst, he instinctively simulated in his mind, picturing himself in place of the Leopard Demon, probably wouldn’t just spin 720 degrees.
He then rembered that Li Rui was quite familiar with Nan Jiui, plus being young and highly leveled.
Could he be a newly erged superstar yet to make a na?
At this point, Li Rui already hailed, "Don’t just stand there, bro, quickly find the next one, losing rewards is a huge loss."
"Ah, okay."
For so reason, Zhao Jia didn’t dare ask a word, only wanting to complete the assigned task first.
Li Rui was no longer polite at this ti, earlier he’d say anything when it didn’t affect earnings, now tasks are directly in sight, not a minute can be wasted, must hurry up, not leaving even ti for restroom breaks, really showcasing an exploitative mindset.
When Zhao Jia began analyzing the path, he suddenly rembered.
No way?
For you, a mber of the high-star Secret Realm’s Demon Race is just a reward that runs?
