"Everyone, gather!"
Following Shen Feng's command, the people who were scattered all over the place immediately gathered together.
Shen Feng stood at the entrance of the cave, looking at everyone in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "After analyzing the information obtained from the previous exploration, I have decided to set off towards the east. Everyone, do not fall behind, and do not act on your own. If you discover anything, report it immediately. Again, any treasure you discover belongs to you, and no one will snatch your opportunity. However, if you harm the entire team because of your greed, I will definitely not let you off!"
Hearing Shen Feng's words, everyone's expression turned serious. Previously, when they were far away from Shen Feng, they could still make some small moves. However, now that they were under Shen Feng's nose, once they were caught, they would definitely be punished as a typical example. It was better to restrain themselves.
Qinchuan looked at Shen Feng, and suddenly frowned as he turned his gaze to Tian Mei, who was standing beside Shen Feng. Their gazes met in the air, and Tian Mei did not avoid it. Instead, she smiled at Qinchuan and gently nodded.
Qinchuan gently nodded in response, and then quietly asked Le Xing, who was beside him, "Who is the person standing beside Shen Feng?"
"I don't recognize him."
Le Xing shook his head, "This is the first time I saw him. He is quite pretty, but unfortunately, he is a boy."
Hearing Le Xing's reply, Qinchuan was somewhat speechless. A boy, why do you care if he is pretty or not? Don't tell me you want to go up to him?
"Now, everyone, listen to my orders. Set off!"
After Shen Feng gave the order, everyone immediately moved. The chairman's side was the vanguard, Xinghe and Kong Ming's side were the left wing, Sha Chi and Bai Jiang's side were the right wing, and the monitoring department's side was at the rear, while the rest were in the middle.
With regards to Shen Feng's arrangement, no one had any objections. Qinchuan was also happy to bring people to bring up the rear. After all, they were the most familiar with the situation at the rear. Basically, there would not be any problems at the rear, and it could be said that it was the most comfortable place besides the middle.
"Although there should not be any problems with us bringing up the rear, everyone still needs to be careful."
Qinchuan said to everyone, "I will divide you into two teams. Each team has four people, and you will take turns to be on guard. I will be on guard with each team. If there are any problems or discoveries, report to me immediately."
When everyone heard Qinchuan's words, they hesitated and said, "Captain, if you're on duty with us, you won't have time to rest. Wouldn't that be too tiring?"
"You don't have to worry about me. I know what I'm doing." Qinchuan smiled. "Just do as I say."
…
In the depths of the Sword God Ruins, a towering mountain rose steeply from the ground and pierced through the clouds. This towering mountain was covered with densely packed impulses, and within each of these impulses was a completely black ferocious beetle resting. It looked exceptionally strange and extremely sinister.
A black beetle the size of a fist flew over from afar and rushed straight into a wormhole, handing over the latest information to its superior.
"How many years has it been? Have humans appeared again?"
A sinister voice came from the dark cave, revealing an astonishing killing intent.
"His Highness is now in a critical period of recovery. He must not be disturbed by anyone. Kill those intruders!"
As the voice fell, an evil gaze passed through the dark cave and looked at the silver-white longsword inserted into the ground in the distance. A strong sense of fear flashed through the eyes of the evil gaze!
…
The Sword God Ruins was more desolate than everyone imagined. Along the way, they found almost nothing. They did not even see Zerg's figure.
"This place is too desolate."
Le Xing looked at the dark brown ground under his feet and said to Qinchuan, "Originally, everyone thought that this was a fat job, but who would have thought that there was not even a little bit of profit to be had."
Le Xing's words could be said to have touched the bottom of everyone's heart. The reason why they were chosen to join the advance party was firstly because Hua Wuying named them, and secondly because the first group of people who explored new cosmic ruins in the past always had a lot to eat. They originally thought that this time would be the same, but they did not expect to encounter such a barren place.
Qinchuan heard this and laughed. He said to Le Xing, "You don't think that this trip is a good thing, do you?"
While talking, Qinchuan suddenly noticed that the team in front of them had stopped. He sent someone to inquire about the situation. The news he received was that the team had temporarily stopped moving forward and was resting on the spot.
Qinchuan did not feel that this arrangement was inappropriate, so he ordered everyone to rest on the spot. However, he still divided a small team to be on guard while the others rested on the spot.
Qinchuan had just sat down on the ground when a figure slowly walked over from not far away and stood in front of Qinchuan.
Qinchuan looked at the handsome young man in front of him and asked curiously, "What's the matter?"
"Let's get to know each other. My name is Tian Mei."
Tian Mei looked at Qinchuan and reached out a white and delicate hand to Qinchuan.
Qinchuan was stunned for a moment, then reached out and shook hands with Tian Mei. When he touched that soft hand, Qinchuan instantly realized that the person in front of him was not a man, but a woman disguised as a man!
After shaking hands, Tian Mei sat down beside Qinchuan and asked Qinchuan, "Do you know why the monitoring department was arranged to bring up the rear?"
Qinchuan shook his head and said, "I don't know. I just need to do my job well."
Hearing Qinchuan's words, Tian Mei smiled and said to Qinchuan, "Do you know my identity?"
Qinchuan thought for a moment and nodded gently, "I can roughly guess."
"Do you know?
Because you sent someone back to report about the Dead Flower, Uncle Shen thinks you are a reliable person, so he arranged for the monitoring department to bring up the rear. If you encounter an irresistible danger later, the monitoring department will immediately change from the rear to the vanguard and retreat as quickly as possible. "
Hearing Tian Mei's words, Qinchuan looked at Tian Mei with a subtle gaze and said, "So you know how to leave here and return to the center of the Kunlun Field, and our mission is to escort you out safely, right?"
Tian Mei looked at Qinchuan with some surprise and then nodded with a smile. "You're right. That's indeed the case."
Qinchuan let out a long breath and asked, "What does Shen Feng know?
Why do we have to prepare to retreat less than a day after we entered here? "
"He only knows that we are not of one mind." Tian Mei looked deeply at Qinchuan. "How can we achieve great things if we are not of one mind?"
"I understand. Thank you for being honest with me." Qinchuan looked at Tian Mei. "I will protect you."
Among the vanguard team, only Shen Feng and Tian Mei knew how to leave the Sword God Ruins and return to the center of the Kunlun Field, so Shen Feng and Tian Mei were very important. No matter the reason, he had to protect Tian Mei.
