To be the rear meant to seize the opportunity to kill the surrounding middle-level evil spirits.

Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian were not uninjured. The result of the large number of evil spirits was that they would also be attacked by evil spirits.

However, the two had strong recovery ability, high physique, and high vitality. It was difficult for the evil spirit to cause too much damage to them. Even if the place where the evil spirit attacked would feel cold, this feeling would completely disappear within two seconds.

They dared to go straight to exchange injuries, but the evil spirits couldn’t. When the evil spirits were attacked, their bodies became thin at light, they were directly scattered in severe cases. They couldn’t last the third round at all and could only drop spirit stones.

While fighting, Xia Ruize was really busy, he had to take control of the overall situation and get back the spiritual stone that had fallen to the ground.

There were two big bosses blocking the evil spirits chasing from behind. Big head and old Baitou were running this time and saw the green line on the ground. After struggling to cross the line, the front was suddenly empty, and the number of evil spirits that were chasing behind became less.

The two continued to run with Xiao Nan, and found that there were no evil spirits around. They turned their heads and found that Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian did not follow, and remained on the other side of the cordon, killing evil spirits continuously.

“Wow, Brother Cheng and Brother Ze are too strong. When can I be like them?”

Xiao Nan stopped following his uncle’s pace, and cast envious glances at Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize. He also longed to be able to easily kill the evil spirits.

Old Baitou and big head looked at each other, but they saw the bitterness in each other’s eyes. This kind of strength was something that could not be acquired by time.

Although the two mysterious teammates did not take off their cloaks from the beginning to the end, they knew that they were young, yet so young and so powerful, talent and training were indispensable.

It might be the children of some aristocratic family who went out to walk and experience, otherwise, it would be impossible to explain the contradiction between the strength of the two, but the lack of experience.

After killing the middle-level evil spirits who dared to chase after him, Cheng Huaiqian finally felt a little happy. He handed over the spiritual stone that he had put away, and waited for his lover to unify them and then divide them up. Cheng Huaiqian encouraged his lover:

“I don’t think we need to go back to the military camp to continue training. It’s better to kill evil spirits every day and get spirit stones.”

Xia Ruize angrily took advantage of the darkness to pinch his lover’s face. This guy said it nicely, but the main reason was that he didn’t like that the barracks would restrict them from getting close!

Sure enough, Cheng Huaiqian took the opportunity to hug his lover’s waist, and lowered his head to print Xia Ruize’s exposed lips.

In the darkness of the night, Xia Ruize let the lover go, he pushed away Cheng Huaiqian when he couldn’t catch his breath, he turned around and walked in the direction of Ping’An City, and said in a bad breath:

“Let’s go, others are still waiting. I think the training opportunity in the military camp is very rare. If we can take care of it, try to take care of it as much as possible.”

After the two of them cut through the night and walked into the range illuminated by the torches of the three of the old Baitou, old Baitou immediately took the initiative to greet them.

“You two have worked hard! Thank you for your help.”

Old Baitou took the initiative to hand over two exorcism charms as he spoke, and the team reward distribution was distributed, but the favors that should be accepted still had to be accepted. If it wasn’t for the reminder and protection of Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian, they might have been trapped by the middle-level evil spirits tonight and couldn’t escape.

Of course, the reason was because Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian were strong enough to make the old Baitou decide to go deeper.

Cheng Huaiqian unceremoniously accepted two exorcism charms, and the other side also sent two more.

“Where is this for sale?”

Cheng Huaiqian continued to ask.

This sentence alone was enough. The first thing every spirit hunting warrior looked for in the local area was the place that sells supplies. The two mysterious bosses didn’t even find this. They must be very unfamiliar with Ping´An City.

So, on the next journey back to the city, the old Baotou chattered a lot about the situation of Ping´An City.

Ping’An City was near the evil sea, and there were evil spirits active all year round outside the city at night, but the number of evil spirits was rare and most of them were low-level evil spirits. Only around the full moon of each month, the number of evil spirits would be slightly more.

Many spirit-hunting warriors in Ping’An City take advantage of this time to hunt evil spirits to obtain spirit stones.

The moon was the fullest on august fifteenth of each year, and it was the time when the evil spirits outside the city were most active, when the full moon tribulation occurred every three years, the number and activity of evil spirits would reach their peak, and they will even invade Ping´An city.

According to historical records, a long time ago, the full moon tribulation was a nightmare for the city of Ping´An. But the spirit-hunting warriors continued to grow and develop. Human beings were no longer always on the weak side in the face of evil spirits, and even the spirit-hunting warriors began to greedily chase evil spirits in their frequented areas.

After that, the full moon tribulation in Ping’An city every three years had become a challenge that attracted countless spirit hunting warriors to come to share a piece of the pie, danger came with opportunities.

“I have been a spirit hunting warrior for more than ten years, and I have experienced five full moon tribulations before and after. The ten to five days before the arrival of each full moon tribulation is the peak period of my activities. At this time, I go out of the city at night, not only can the most spiritual stones be harvested, bit the danger is also bearable.

But the situation I encountered today is something I have ever seen in my life; the evil spirits will design to frame us? Unheard of! I will report the relevant situation to the City Lord’s Mansion tomorrow, this year’s full moon tribulation seems to be more terrifying than ever…”

Old Baitou was puzzled. He was so cautious and fell into the trap of evil spirits. When did the evil spirits become so smart?

“I think the big man above may have known it long ago. I heard that hundreds of temporary defense team members have been recruited this year.”

The always silent big head suddenly interjected.

Old Baitou was stunned for a moment, then sighed:

“Who said it wasn’t. Before the last full moon tribulation, the temporary defense team recruited 50 people. That full moon tribulation was really dangerous. Of the 500 defense team only half were left, and from the temporary team, only 30 were left.

This time I heard that more than 200 temporary team members were recruited, alas… I should have thought of it. ”

Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian were speechless. Weren’t they the unlucky temporary team members?

After getting a lot of information from the mouths of old Baitou and big head, knowing that even if they went out of the city during the day, they would not encounter evil spirits, Cheng Huaiqian had to follow Xia Ruize to continue training in the military camp, anyway, they could run out at will at night.

After climbing over the city wall and returning to the city, Old Baitou led the way and brought the five back to the Guitu Tavern.

This time, Xiao Nan was placed in the seat to allow him to have two drinks to suppress his shock. Old Baitou personally led Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize to a secret door in the tavern. After knocking on the secret door according to a specific rhythm, the door was opened.

The three walked through a long passage and entered a wide cellar. The cellar was brightly lit by candles, and there were various weapons and armors hanging around it. At first glance, it was a small hidden shop.

“Old head Zhang, let me introduce two friends. It’s believable. Don’t cheat others.”

Old Baitou went straight to one of the counters, and said hello to the person who was dozing lazily on the counter.

“I don’t have a problem with someone you think you can trust, you two, what do you want?”

The man glanced at Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize, and didn’t mind that the two of them were still covered with hoods and couldn’t see their faces, he asked lazily.

“I bought my weapons and talismans from old head Zhang. He has all kinds of weapons and armors with carved patterns. The more patterns carved on the weapons and armors, the more effective they can play with the exorcism charm at critical moments.

In addition, there are all kinds of things specially designed to deal with evil spirits. The most important thing is the exorcism charm. The exorcism charm can be attached to the weapon to increase the power of the weapon, and it can be attached to the armor to prevent the evil spirit from approaching. It’s a good thing that will never be too much, other small objects and lighting lamps and so on…”

Old Baitou also knew old head Zhang´s attitude, so he simply took the initiative to undertake the introduction work.

Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian listened patiently and asked a few questions from time to time.

Old head Zhang saw that the two of them didn’t seem to understand the market situation very well, so he could not help laying back lazily, listening with one ear but not with the other.

Here, the old Baitou was introducing. There, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian kept discussing. Finally, the two kept three of the thirty-six low-level spirit stones and twenty-two medium-level spirit stones they got tonight, and replaced the rest with 6 spirit illumination lamps worth 3 spirit stones and 60 Exorcism charms.

One middle-level spirit stone could be exchanged for three low-level spirit stones. Old head Zhang took over thirty low-level spirit stones and sixteen middle-level spirit stones with a face full of surprise. He had no idea what these two looked like. The country bumpkin who didn’t know anything was actually a big customer, so generous?

Old Baitou was not surprised, just by looking at the skills of these two bosses, he knew that they wouldn´t lack spirit stones.

After making a big deal, old head Zhang decided to give away two more fine-quality cloaks. Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian were wearing clothes that looked like street stalls. It was really funny that spirit hunters wore cloaks of this quality.

After leaving the underground store, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian exchanged a low-level spirit stone with old Baitou for 100 coins of this world, shell was the currency with high purchasing power.

Old Baitou and big head made an appointment with the two to continue to form a team tomorrow, and then went home separately.

This night, old Baitou and Xiao Nan got 14 low-level spirit stones together, which was almost equal to half a year’s income.

In addition to the excitement, old Baitou also had some worries in his heart. He even began to think about whether to leave Ping’An City before the full moon tribulation this year.

After big head’s reminder, old Baitou suddenly realized that there were too many temporary city guards recruited by Ping’An city this year, and he felt a little uneasy. It seemed that the upper management had already known some bad news in advance, but it was not made public.

On the other hand, when Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian passed by the stall selling cloaks before, they threw 3 shells on it, 1 shell for each cloak, and the extra one was counted as compensation. The stall owner got 3 shells inexplicably, and quickly put them away in his bag.

Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian returned to the barracks. Because the sergeants who were guarding the city wall at night would change their shifts, there was always a small illusion cover on the door on the side of the barracks.

Compared with the bunks in the barracks, it WAS more comfortable to sleep their own tent.

It was nearly twelve o’clock when they went back, they could sleep for four hours before getting up early the next day for training. Cheng Huaiqian hugged his lover into his arms, and the two fell asleep soon after touching the pillow, until the early morning when trumpet sounded.

In the darkness and chaos, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian returned to the team in time, and no one noticed that their whereabouts seemed a little unusual.

The drowsy bearded man even teased Xia Ruize: “You’re still a little baby who can’t be weaned, you still need your brother to sleep with you.”

Although Xia Ruize’s teammates didn’t think it was too crowded to sleep at night, but they still couldn’t see that Cheng Huaiqian still had to tell a short bedtime story to his “brother” before going to bed, was it so childish?

Xia Ruize turned his head expressionlessly, his lover made him weave such an illusion, what could he do, he was also very embarrassed!

The daily training still started with running around the city in armor. The day before, there were still soldiers who were not too concerned about training. Today was different. In order to obtain the spiritual stone, everyone was full of fighting spirit, but not long after the start, many soldiers cursed their mothers in their hearts.

Because today’s running speed was even faster than the previous day, the soldiers who had originally calculated that they should be able to survive five laps as long as they persisted seriously, fell to the ground from the third lap one after another.

In the end, the number of people who successfully completed the running training mission and returned to the military camp was not as large as the previous day.

The training difficulty of the Spirit Shooting Crossbow in the morning also suddenly increased, from the need to shoot three humanoid cards in a row directly to the requirement of shooting five humanoid cards in a row.

The morning before, many people were able to complete the assessment by reluctantly shooting the third humanoid card by luck, but no matter how lucky they were, they couldn’t shoot five humanoid cards in a row.

As a result, fewer soldiers had eaten lunch than the day before, and more soldiers could only work overtime and practice on an empty stomach, but they felt bitter in their hearts. It was a problem to be so hungry every day.

In the afternoon training, in addition to physical training, battle training was also added. The soldiers finally realized clearly that the officials were trying to trick them, and many of them didn’t even perform well the day before. Where could they get the spirit stone?

Sure enough, when they assembled in the evening, there were only a mere 30 soldiers who got the spirit stones. On the contrary, 12 members of the temporary defense team who had not eaten three meals for two consecutive days were eliminated.
