Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 751 Layout
Four days flew by.

Chen Chuan stood alone in front of the tent, looking into the distance. Chao Ming was circling in the sky.

At present, the insect quicksand shows no signs of stopping and is still rolling and surging on the earth. There is no end in sight at a glance. However, with the presence of this large creature underneath, this place has become a good protective barrier, allowing them to rest safely on it.

This creature does not stay in one place all the time, but keeps moving. Its movements are rhythmic and coordinated, and when its abdomen crawls together, it gives people a sense of smooth wave-like movement.

And now looking at the direction of movement, it was roughly the same path he came from.

According to what he knew, no matter how long the insect quicksand lasted, it would only last about six or seven days, so it would take two or three days at most to get rid of this environment.

In fact, he didn't mind staying here for a few more days, because under the cover of the glow of the fallen objects, he had been practicing there day and night for the past four days, and most of the things outside were left to Xu Chan and the others.

After practicing without distraction for several days, he could feel that his spiritual power had made great progress in the past few days, and it seemed that he was only a step away from the true peak of perfection.

As he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt a slight shock in his heart and looked in a certain direction. For some reason, he seemed to sense some danger there.

that place……

It seemed that it was because of his unconscious high mental concentration that before he could observe anything, he suddenly sensed a strange feeling coming from the tent behind him, as if something there was announcing its presence.

He immediately lifted the curtain, turned back to the tent, and looked at a bag hanging there. He walked over, fumbled around, and then took out a green tangerine-like fruit from it.

This was what Xue Shou gave him before he entered the Land of Blending.

He had no idea what this thing was. Xue Shou just told him to eat it when he felt it was right.

Is it the right time?

He thought about it, then peeled the "green tangerine" and ate it one by one, including the skin and flesh. At first he didn't feel anything, but after eating the whole thing, he suddenly felt that his spirit seemed to be touched by something, as if his state suddenly became extremely good.

He immediately came to the carpet and sat down, then fell into a feeling that was a bit like sitting on the stone lotus seat on Feiguang Island, feeling peaceful and comfortable.

After a long time, he suddenly felt something and opened his eyes, only to see Xue Shu sitting not far in front of him, looking at him with a smile, just like when he taught him that day.

"Teacher Xue?"

However, he soon discovered that although Teacher Xue in front of him was real, he had no shadow on the ground, nor any warmth or reality. It was just an image that existed in his own mind.

Xue Shou smiled.

“This little green fruit of mine can boost your spiritual power, cleanse the impurities and filth in your spirit when you absorb the essence from outer space, and repair and nourish your spirit and body, making your subsequent path of cultivation smoother.

There is also a trace of my spirit in it. If my spirit senses the time is coming in advance, or..."

He reached out and tapped Chen Chuan's chest. "Some kind of foreshadowing and warning signs have emerged in your mind, and it will prompt you to take it."

"Is it... a warning sign?"

Chen Chuan couldn't help but nod. At that moment just now, he did have a faint sense of danger, but he couldn't tell what it was.

Xue Shou looked at the lost items he had placed on a shelf nearby and said, "From your looks, you should have already got this lost item?"

Chen Chuanshuo said, "Yes, we are now besieged by the worm quicksand. I plan to take this thing back after the worm quicksand recedes. However, this relic is different from what I know. It has been emitting rays of light, which is very conspicuous."

"Of course it is conspicuous." Xue Shou said with a smile: "Because we originally put this thing here."

"Ok?"

Chen Chuan couldn't help but look at him, feeling very surprised. He looked at the lost items again, and thinking of the "we" that Xue Shu said, he quickly reacted.

"Is this a bait?"

Xue Shu nodded and gave him an affirmative answer: "Yes, this is a bait."

Chen Chuan's eyes moved slightly. For someone at Xue Shu's level, the bait would definitely not target the people from the Consortium or the Linax Federation representative team.

He looked up and asked, "Teacher Xue, I wonder if the target is...?"

Xue Shou stood up from the ground, he came to the entrance of the tent, looked outside and said: "Our target is the general of the old imperial family who is stationed in the intersection of Jibei Road, Wei Guochan. A third-level relic appeared deep in the intersection, and it was close to the old imperial family's territory. They will never give up. If the people below can't get it, then this general who has been facing us for many years is likely to come forward in person."

Chen Chuan also stood up and asked, "Doesn't he care about the fighters guarding here?"

Xue Shou said: "Because in the past we only had one fighter, that is your principal Yao Zhiyi, and he has been protecting the station in the past, and there is almost no record of active attack. Even if he left the station, because there is only one person, the threat to him is not great.

But what he didn't know was that a fighter we had previously sent to guard the World Ring has secretly returned, and this fighter will be responsible for intercepting and killing that person together with Principal Yao.

And just to be on the safe side, I will also enter the fusion area at the appropriate time to prepare for possible variables.

Now that the World Ring has not been repaired, the old imperial family would never think that our fighters stationed there would return early. After all, no one came back even when the Mother Shrimp split. And although I have arrived in the central city this time, they will only think that I have come to deal with the fighter who stayed in the central city from the Federation.

In this battle, we will try every means to surround and kill this man. Once Wei Guochan dies, the tens of thousands of troops on the front line of the old imperial family will be without support. We will immediately counterattack and try to annihilate this unit before the old imperial family can provide support. If successful, the situation in the intersection of Jibei Road will achieve a decisive breakthrough. "

Chen Chuan didn't expect things to turn out like this, and the battle between several fighters was enough to make one's heart race just thinking about it.

Only at this moment, he thought of a question, so he asked: "Teacher Xue, do the Jibei Dao Government Affairs Office and the Defense Department know about this?"

Xue Shu looked at him and said, "I know what you want to ask. I can tell you clearly that this matter involves a lot of confidential information. In Jibei Dao, whether it is the Government Affairs Office, the Ministry of Defense, the Processing Bureau, or the General Affairs Bureau, they did not know about this matter in advance. They will only be officially notified when we take action.

In order to ensure authenticity and feasibility in advance, Jibei Road sent out a group of people to fight for the relics, and they were prepared to be sacrificed.

You need to know that what needs to be considered above is not the loss in certain places, but how to exchange less for more. As long as the exchange ratio is beneficial to the overall situation, the above will be promoted.

This is war.”

He took a breath and continued, "But I understand that among those who died there may be your comrades and your friends, so you may not be able to accept it, and I understand that.

When I found out that you had captured Han Fu, based on my understanding of you, I knew that your next choice would be to take the initiative to enter the fusion area to meet them. The result would be unknown."

Chen Chuan thought about the time when Xue Shu chose to meet him, which was right after he caught Manager Han. He said, "So Teacher Xue gave me that green fruit?"

Xue Shu nodded, "This is the only thing I can do outside of the plan, but the premise is that your spirit is enough to bear my minimum spiritual power. Now it seems..." He looked at Chen Chuan and said with a smile: "You have achieved it."

He looked outside again and saw people coming in and out of the tents opposite.

"Those are the comrades who entered the fusion area, right? It seems that you have met them."

A relieved smile appeared on his face, but there was also a hint of unspeakable disappointment.

Chen Chuan looked outside. What Mr. Xue said before was cruel, but also very realistic. Often, a game or a decision made by the upper level is accompanied by sacrifice. Because most of the time, the upper level considers the overall layout, and will not consider it specifically for a certain person, nor can it consider it.

Ordinary people in the situation can only be swept away by the tide and cannot make any waves. If he had not come this time, Lao Xu and the others would definitely have been sacrificed.

And if the sacrifice of dozens of people can bring about an overall strategic advantage, no leader will refuse.

Unless an individual's power is strong enough and weighty enough to become an important weight in the overall strategy.

Xue Shou turned around and asked, "By the way, how did you plan to take the things back?"

Chen Chuanshuo said: "My original plan was to carry this thing by myself and run back to the nearest camp as quickly as possible, because the glow of the fallen objects can allow people to move at night, so I can maintain a certain amount of physical strength to run day and night. If I am fast, I can return to the camp within two days and two nights.

But I took into account that since the glow didn't seem to dissipate, it always clearly indicated the direction. So on the way back, the old imperial family might block me based on the direction of my dive."

Xue Shou said: "Your consideration is correct. According to our previous deduction, no matter who gets the remains, the old imperial family will definitely send out the army. It will inevitably be difficult to rush out in one go."

Chen Chuan nodded. A large army is not so easy to deal with. After determining the position, you can cover it with artillery fire, use airships to find machine guns to fire, or even use countless alien creatures to besiege it.

Xue Shou said: "It was originally estimated that it would fall into the hands of the Linax Federation and the Union, so they would rush out. It would not be difficult for them to rush out with their strength. At that time, Wei Guochan would appear, but now..." He looked at Chen Chuan, "This situation may have to be faced by you."
