Book of Disaster

At the same time, hidden in one of the peaks of Shilao Peak is a magnificent and solemn palace.

The lights in the hall were dim. The flickering candlelight from the delicate wall lamps blurred the figure of a young man sitting on the throne above the hall. It also blurred his facial features, making it difficult to see clearly.

His body was tall and straight, and he naturally exuded an air of being high above, a high-ranking official, and having enormous power.

The hall was filled with an extremely depressing atmosphere, and all the pressure came from this figure. Even the torches on the wall swayed with his breathing.

“Squeak!——”

The door of the palace was wide open, and several figures walked in respectfully, bowing their bodies and not daring to make a sound, as if they were afraid to disturb the person on the throne.

Several people stopped in front of the throne, their eyes were vague, they looked nervous, and there was a certain degree of fear in their eyes.

The young man on the throne looked thoughtful, as if he was thinking about something.

Since he didn't speak, no one else dared to speak.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of the airflow seemed to startle the young man, and he suddenly turned his head and glanced at a few people.

It was just such a small action, but the hearts of the people around His Highness jumped, and they immediately fell to their knees with a bang.

"I'm sorry, sir. I'm incompetent... The mission failed!"

"That kid has Xu Xuansu's protection, and he also has the Golden Dragon Order bestowed by His Majesty... Even General Xuanwu has failed, we can't do anything to him."

……

Several people were in panic. Looking carefully, they saw that the figures kneeling on the ground were Xiong Zhantian and others.

Different from the mighty and domineering manner when he fought with Bai Qi and others in the ancient battlefield, even Xiong Zhantian, who was tall and strong, was now uneasy and dared not breathe, like a mouse seeing a cat. He had completely lost his previous domineering aura.

The young man looked at the prince and the others silently without saying a word. He just raised his right hand which was on the armrest of the throne and made a small movement.

The next moment, His Highness and the others immediately kept silent as if they were puppets being controlled, and even all the sounds in the hall disappeared.

"You know my habits. I don't like to hear excuses..."

At this moment, the young man on the throne spoke. His voice was indifferent and cold, but it revealed an unquestionable authority.

As he said these words, he supported his slender hands on the armrests of the throne and slowly stood up. In an instant, a terrifying aura like a tide surged out of his body and radiated in all directions.

Faced with this terrifying aura, Xiong Zhantian and Li Henian, the Master of the Hundred Refined Demonic Spear, couldn't help but tremble all over, instinctively revealing a hint of fear on their faces.

"You... have greatly disappointed this king."

Xiong Zhantian and the others turned pale and lowered their heads even more.

"You are a bunch of useless people. You can't even handle such a small matter. Go down. I don't need you to interfere in this matter. I will do it myself."

"Yes!"

……

"such a pity!"

On the edge of a cliff at Xuanyin Peak, Bai Qi sat cross-legged, his chin supported by one hand, gazing at the undulating green mountains in the distance.

A few days had passed since the battle for the position of captain, and Bai Qi was almost familiar with this recruit camp.

However, when Bai Qi thought of the golden giant that he had finally controlled a few days ago, his face was filled with regret.

Its combat effectiveness is higher than Xu Xuansu's, and its whole body is hard. Bai Qi originally wanted to use the Golden Dragon Order to take this powerful mechanical creation and use it for his own benefit to help him fight in the army in the future. However, he did not expect that he would be ruthlessly rejected by General Xuanwu on the grounds that "this is a magic weapon of the imperial court, and it belongs to the new recruits camp in the capital. It will be needed for future assessments, and no one is allowed to take it as private property."

Bai Qi argued several times, but ultimately failed.

"Fortunately, I have already earned 20 Divine Points by borrowing this thing, so it is worth it."

Bai Qi secretly comforted himself.

"You are quite romantic, boy."

Just at this moment, a familiar voice came from behind.

"what happened?"

Bai Qi turned around and looked at Zhou Yixian who had approached him from behind.

"You don't think you can hide it from me, do you? Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month. Aren't you sitting here just to admire the full moon? - My family has been observing the sky for generations. We must be familiar with this kind of thing."

Zhou Yixian said with a sly smile on his face.

"Tell me the truth, boy. Are you going to Yingling Peak to find Miss Xu? If so, I will tip you off."

"Screw you!"

Bai Qi slapped Zhou Yixian hard on the back with his backhand. He didn't have the mood to do that. However, when he looked up, he saw a full moon hanging high in the eastern sky.

It seemed that because it was not long after nightfall, the full moon was not as bright as imagined.

“It’s really beautiful…”

Bai Qi was stunned, but he remembered another world in his memory.

The sky was soon covered by night, and in just a moment, little lights appeared in the camp on Xuanyin Peak, swaying dimly like dancing fireflies.

Time passed slowly, the night grew darker, and Bai Qi soon received a patrol mission.

Patrolling, this is one of the training tasks in the recruit camp.

When you become a regular army in the future, patrolling and guarding are daily tasks that must be performed, so training begins in the recruit camp.

As the night deepened, Bai Qi quickly led his team to the assigned patrol area No. 17.

"Isn't this place too remote? Did General Xuanwu assign us here on purpose?"

"I heard that the team of the old warrior Zhao Feng is patrolling area No. 8, which is very close to the camp, and they can also hunt wild game. Look at us, it's so deserted here."

"Don't say that. Fortunately, it's early spring. If it was a few months earlier, it would have frozen into ice."

……

Listening to the conversations of the people behind him, Bai Qi led the team in the front. He didn't say a word, his eyes darting around, as if thinking about something.

Bai Qi's team is composed of eight people, all of whom are from the Xinwu forces without exception. Bai Qi holds the rank of captain, so he is naturally the captain of these people.

Bai Qi stopped on a rugged rock and looked out alone. With the moonlight in the sky, he could vaguely see the undulating ridges of the vast mountains in the distance.

After all, it was a vast mountainous area, and the patrol area of ​​Unit 17 was very large. Although Li Yi and Zhang Chi were Bai Qi's capable men, they still had limited manpower, so Bai Qi could only split them up and each led an eight-man team to patrol the divided area. Zhou Yixian was assigned to the same team as Bai Qi because of his relationship with him.

"Hey! Bai Qi, why did you stop suddenly?"

Zhou Yixian took a few steps forward and said to Bai Qi.

"Call Captain Bai!"

Bai Qi didn't look back.

"Oh my! Are you trying to show off your authority?"

Zhou Yixian's voice suddenly rose several degrees.

Bai Qi laughed and joked with Zhou Yixian for a while, then quickly frowned and got back to the topic:

"Fatty, do you feel something strange?"

"what happened?"

Zhou Yixian was squatting beside the rugged rocks, fiddling with three copper plates thrown on the ground. When he heard Bai Qi talking, he quickly turned his head with a questioning look.

The other people were patrolling in the mountains and forests, and Zhou Yixian, who was following Bai Qi, was the one with the most free time.

"Why is there so much smoke here suddenly?"

Bai Qi said with a frown.
