Chapter 1026: Targeting
The person is insignificant, Gong Lao a small Earth Immortal, in this Immortal and Demon Battlefield, it is simply inconspicuous.

Being assigned the task of scouting the enemy’s movements, one can only hold one’s nose and recognize it.

A tall figure walked out from the tent, his gaze sweeping over the two men carelessly.

“The scout army’s camp is in the north, counting you two, there are a total of eight people in the scouting team 7, let’s introduce ourselves first, my name is Luo Jun, Sky Immortal Middle Realm, I’m your immediate upper peak.

In the future, if you make any discoveries, just report directly to me.”

Gong Lao hurriedly bowed his head and answered yes.

Luo Jun exchanged soul breaths with him before explaining.

“There are ten teams in the scouting army, five of them are responsible for daytime and the other five are responsible for nighttime, you have one night to acclimatize to the battlefield, and from tomorrow onwards, you will officially start scouting.

Remember to be cautious, do not act rashly after discovering the movements of the demons, report to me at the first time, do you understand?”

“Understood.”

Luo Jun nodded slightly and handed the topographical map of the surrounding area to Gong Lao, “In that case, then you go to the camp first and familiarize yourself with the other members of the squad.”

Gong Lao took the topographical map and walked with Xu Chuniang towards the north.

It was only when they walked out a short distance that the oppressive feeling they felt from Luo Jun’s body gradually disappeared.

Gong Lao exhaled gently and complained with Xu Chuniang.

“This is difficult, the scout’s position is not only dangerous, but also has little oil and water, if we accidentally collide with the Demon Realm’s army, there is only one way to die.

When I left the Three Heavens earlier, that close friend of mine even consoled me, saying that she was trying to secure the position of cleaning the battlefield for me, and it seems to have failed.”

Xu Chuniang was thoughtful and suddenly asked, “Elder Gong, did you offend someone?”

Gong Lao was slightly stunned, it was nice that he had offended someone before, but that was just a small matter, and it had been hundreds of years since the incident.

The other party had used a little means to force him to hide in Zhangwei Mountain, and at this moment, that person might have forgotten about him.

“It shouldn’t be, the person I offended back then was a distant relative of a certain Celestial Immortal, he settled in Saturn Heaven with that Celestial Immortal shortly after I went to Zhangwei Mountain, and since then, I’ve rarely heard any news related to him.”

Gong Lao said as he reminisced, “I also inquired about the situation ahead of time for the birthday of the Pearwood Heavenly Immortal this time, and the Pearwood Heavenly Immortal was at odds with the distant relative of the Heavenly Immortal that the man I offended was attached to.

I then thought of letting that close friend in front of the Pearwood Heavenly Immortal to say a few words of praise, so that I could take this opportunity to return to the Changjing Heaven, the result is that the transfer order came down, but was thrown into the battlefield, I can only say that I was unlucky.”

While Gong Lao felt that it was his bad luck, Xu Chuniang felt that things were not that simple.

“Could it be your former enemy that bought off that close friend of yours?”

Gong Lao froze and subconsciously shook his head in denial.

“Impossible, although I don’t have much contact with that close friend on a regular basis, but back then we had fought together in Zong Dong Tian and knew each other’s roots, she would never betray me.

Moreover, the person I offended, I heard that he was very ambitious after going to the Triple Heavens, so maybe he forgot about me a long time ago and was transferred to the battlefield, so I can only say that this is fate.”

Xu Chuniang did not comment, since Gong Lao chose to believe in his best friend, she would not say anything more.

It’s just that hearts are fickle, and often the answer that one is least willing to believe is the one closest to the truth. After Gong Lao adjusted his mood, he took out the topographical map and examined it in detail, pointing to a mountain range in front of him where black gas rolled out.

“This mountain range is often infested with demon soldiers, those demonic qi are the traces left behind by the demon ice, I can see from the topographical map that the scout army’s camp is at the foot of the mountain, let’s go.”

With the two’s current footsteps, in about less than an incense stick of time, they would be able to arrive at the camp.

Xu Chuniang utilized her Immortal Qi in her eyes and looked into the distance, the foot of the mountain was surrounded by demonic aura, dozens of tents were corroded and pitted, hidden in the demonic aura.

“Something’s not quite right.”

She stopped abruptly and looked ahead vigilantly, “These tents, there seems to be something abnormal, the tents are all corroded by demonic qi.”

Gong Lao’s footsteps lurched, running his immortal qi to converge between his eyes, and swept towards the tents at the foot of the mountain, realizing that the situation was indeed as she had said.

However, he was still a little hesitant, “This place is surrounded by demonic qi, it’s normal for the tents to be eroded, it shouldn’t mean anything, right?”

“But don’t you think that the extent to which these tents have been eroded is a bit too much?
Precisely because this place is surrounded by demonic energy, so near the tents, will certainly set up heavy protective formations to block the invasion of these demonic energy, right now the tents have been eroded by half, there is only one possibility, the guarding formations at the foot of the mountain, all have been destroyed!”

Gong Lao’s face suddenly changed, finally realizing, what had happened.

“These tents, all of them have been attacked by the demon army! I’m afraid that these devil armies haven’t traveled far, let’s get out of here first!”

Gong Lao’s face was grave, and after taking out his identity token to send a message to Luo Jun on the spur of the moment, he and Xu Chuniang flew away together in the direction they came from.

The two had just flown back not long before they saw a group of elite soldiers flying in the distance in this direction, and the leader of the group was none other than the Heavenly Immortal Luo Jun, who had met with them not long ago.

Luo Jun’s face was as heavy as water, apparently he had just received the news that the five scouting squads stationed there had all been wiped out, and the north side had been lost, this news was undoubtedly a heavy blow to him.

His sharp eyes spotted two figures, originally thought that the incoming people were the survivors after encountering the demon army’s surprise attack, but only after a closer look did he realize that those two people were today’s newly enlisted Gong Xingshan and Xu Chuniang.

Luo Jun accelerated his recluse speed and stopped in front of the two, and majestically scanned the two, “Tell us about your findings.”

Gong Lao truthfully told the two of them what they had seen and heard, “When we saw that the situation was bad, we sent a message to you at the first opportunity ……”

Luo Jun’s face grew colder as he impatiently interrupted, “So the two of you didn’t make any moves after realizing that the tent in the north was attacked, other than sending a message to me?”

Gong Lao secretly grumbled, and hastily argued for himself, “You previously explained that if we discovered any unusual movements, we need to report to you at the first time, and not act privately ……”

“So what you are saying is that this is my fault?”

Gong Lao’s heart sank and he hurriedly lowered his head, “My subordinate does not dare.”

“Gong Hsing Shan, after discovering the enemy situation and fearing not to go forward, delaying the war opportunity, Xu Chuniang the same crime to share, the two of you back to the general camp to wait for the sentencing!”

After saying that, he didn’t look at the two of them again, leading the elite soldiers who caught up with him to continue flying towards the north.

Gong Lao’s face was unsightly as he gritted his teeth and said, “I’ve sort of realized now that someone is definitely targeting me!”

Xu Chuniang sighed darkly, she was sort of dragged down by Gong Lao.

But then again, if it wasn’t for Gong Lao, she wouldn’t have learned about the Immortal Demon Battlefield so quickly.
