“Should we go in and see?”

Xia Ruize was eager to try it out, [Illusion of the heart] was indeed a skill of the yellow middle grade, it was very practical, and it was completely suitable for use in the current situation, following those men in black into the city lord’s mansion or something, thinking about it made him a little excited.

“Okay, you can try.” Cheng Huaiqian thought about it and still supported it, but just mentioned the situation he had observed: “The moment the three people entered the city lord’s mansion, I felt an unknown energy fluctuation around the city lord’s mansion. I doubt it is a special protection method, I don’t know the solution for the time being, try it, maybe you can go in.”

Xia Ruize turned on the spatial backtrack to feel carefully, he couldn’t detect anything, but he trusted Cheng Huaiqian, so he was more cautious.

Illusions could deceive the senses of intelligent creatures to a certain extent, but if the City Lord’s Mansion was protected by any protective cover, they still needed to break the protective cover before entering.

The two walked around to the side of the city lord’s mansion. Cheng Huaiqian held Xia Ruize down and tried to jump to the courtyard wall first, but at this moment, Xia Ruize, who had activated the spatial backtracking skill, noticed that an energy fluctuation suddenly appeared above the courtyard wall. The transparent barrier blocked Cheng Huaiqian, who was trying to enter the yard, and even pushed the person out.

Cheng Huaiqian stomped on the courtyard wall next to him, and once again leaped to the courtyard wall with the help of his strength. The big knife in his hand slashed hard on the transparent barrier. This time, a larger energy fluctuation was stimulated, and the impact of the rebound was even stronger, pushing Cheng Huaiqian out.

Xia Ruize caught the person with mental power. The two of them changed directions and continued to test. They found that the entire city lord’s mansion was under the protection of this energy shield. Xia Ruize even released Da Hei and Xiao Hei to try to enter the city lord’s mansion from the air, but both of them failed.

At the same time, the city lord’s mansion was disturbed, a large number of torches were lit, and many soldiers poured out of the city lord’s mansion, hunting down the people who tried to invade the city lord’s mansion.

Xia Ruize jumped on the wall of the courtyard next to him, looked at the bustling city lord’s mansion, and tried to find the reason why the soldiers could freely enter and leave the city lord’s mansion.

The common denominator was quickly found. Those soldiers all wore a special waist card, which was probably a token of identification between the enemy and them.

Cheng Huaiqian released the high-level evil spirit who had just joined the team, and saw a small black ball rushing towards a group of 5 soldiers. Soon, the five soldiers turned stiffly into a dark alley, away from the large army, they turned left and then right, and finally pass out in a hidden corner.

Da Hei and Xiao Hei carried a few waist cards and sent them to Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian. The two of them got the key token and walked in through the gate of the City Lord’s Mansion while holding the illusion. Sure enough, there was no inexplicable energy fluctuation to stop them this time.

After entering the gate of the City Lord’s Mansion and bypassing the shadow wall, the two saw a spacious martial arts field. There were stairs behind the martial arts field to go up to the high platform. There was a conference hall on the plane where the high platform was located.

At this time, the lights in the conference hall were bright, and everyone was surrounded by a tall and strong middle-aged man listening to the sergeant’s report.

“Report! City Lord, no abnormality was found on the north side!”

“Report! City Lord, no abnormalities were found on the east side!”

…

The Lord of the City had sharp eyes, by just standing there, he exuded a strong coercion, without needing to approach, Xia Ruize could feel that the Lord of the City was of extraordinary strength.

“The spirit shield has been attacked many times in a short period of time. I´m afraid that the opponent has come prepared. City Lord, do you want to expand the search range?”

Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian, who had seen the city guard team several times from a distance and were following the city lord, heard the suggestion.

“Forget it, close the team. If they want to hide, let them hide. Anyway, there is a spirit shield, and no one can break in.”

The city lord of Ping’An City had a strong voice, and he was not surprised to hear the sergeant’s report that he could not find the unscrupulous person, and decisively ordered to withdraw his troops.

This withdrawal of soldiers actually found that the situation was not right, and unknowingly, there was a small soldier team missing!

The defense team captain frowned, and his voice was eager:

“City Lord, this is troublesome, the access cards on them may fall into the hands of the villains.”

The city owner was also a little displeased, and ordered: “Go find someone first, and replace the spirit shield if you can’t find it before dawn.”

As long as the spirit cover was replaced, the original access cards would no longer work. The only trouble was that it would take a while to replace the spirit cover and everyone’s access cards.

After speaking, the city lord turned around and returned to the discussion hall with his personal attendants.

“City Lord, a large number of foreigners have poured into Ping’An city recently, and the security pressure in the city has increased greatly. Do you want to prevent more people from entering?”

The captain of the defense team quickly chased after him and asked.

The defense team was not only responsible for protecting Ping’An City from being invaded by evil spirits, but also responsible for maintaining order in Ping’An City. The task of training temporary team members had recently been added. The task was really heavy and it was a bit overwhelming.

Now there were even thugs who dared to attack the City Lord’s Mansion and successfully escape. He, the captain of the defense team, was under great pressure.

“No, this year’s full moon tribulation is a big threat, and we need more power to help us get through the city of Ping’An together. Not only do we not need to block it, but we continue to release news to other cities to attract more spirit hunting warriors.”

The city lord rejected the proposal of the captain of the defense team, noticed that the captain of the defense team was a little embarrassed, and reassured:

“Don’t you have a lot of temporary team members recently? You can let them participate in daily patrol and duty tasks to reduce your own pressure.”

The captain of the defense team seemed to be persuaded, and nodded to indicate that he would do as the city lord asked.

“Okay, it’s too late, let’s rest, and report to me tomorrow the number of people who left the city tonight and the number of people who came back.”

Waving his hand to indicate that the captain of the defense team could go to rest, the city lord bypassed the discussion hall and walked to the courtyard behind.

Of course, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian chose to follow the city lord inward, but before passing through a small gate, they stopped because the city lord who stepped forward once again stimulated a wave of energy.

“It seems that there is also a spirit shield here, but there may not be many people with access cards.”

Xia Ruize did not rush to attack the spirit shield, which would expose the information that they had the method of entering the City Lord’s Mansion, and said in a pity tone, if only the people closest to the City Lord had the access cards of this spirit shield, wouldn’t they be able to sneak in?

“We can’t get in; we should go back to rest.”

Cheng Huaiqian pretended to be indifferent and persuaded, but in fact he was full of expectations. With a lover by his side, he was very much looking forward to the sleep time he hated before.

Seeing that he couldn’t get any more information tonight, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian climbed over the courtyard wall and left the City Lord’s Mansion. As for their access cards, Da Hei and Xiao Hei returned them.

If the spirit cover was not changed, they could use the same method to enter the City Lord’s Mansion in the future.

The training on the third day suddenly became easier. Although the running speed in the morning was further improved, it only took three laps to run, and most of the soldiers successfully completed the training task and ate breakfast.

The morning shoot training was no longer for the soldiers to continuously practice shooting targets, but to practice cooperation with each other.

The soldiers of one Corp were lined up in a row, and the four soldiers were arranged in four rows. The first row shot five arrows in a row and then quickly moved away from the position to reload the arrows at the end. The second row continued like this. In this way, as long as the cooperation had a tacit understanding, the attack of the spirit archer could always be uninterrupted.

The assessment at the end of the morning training was also easier than before. It only took four rows of soldiers to complete three rounds of alternation in five minutes. With the completion of the assessment, most of the soldiers successfully ate their lunch.

During lunch, many soldiers sighed happily:

“It was like this today. The training tasks for the first two days were completely deceiving people, and they simply didn’t want us to get the spirit stones. It should be like today in the future!”

According to the current rhythm, wouldn’t everyone get a spirit stone today?

Thinking of this, the soldiers couldn’t help but be overjoyed, insisting that the training arrangement of the first two days was a test for them, those who were afraid of hardship and fatigue would be eliminated, and those who persisted would be rewarded.

The difficulty of training in the afternoon was also eased. After a little physical training, the military barracks issued standard swords with special lines, one for each soldier, to learn the standard swordsmanship of the defense team, and then practice fighting with a unit to cooperate.

Compared with the previous two days, this kind of training task was really too easy, and there was a happy atmosphere among the soldiers.

So, when the soldiers learned before dinner that they would follow the official defense team members to participate in the duty mission tonight, they didn’t find it too difficult to accept because of the reward spirit stones they got in advance.

Cheng Huaiqian also used the two spirit stones distributed in the past two days to bribe the two corps leaders to agree to swap places between him and one of Xia Ruize’s corps.

After hesitating for a while, the two corps leaders who were successively “corrupted” by the spirit stones and agreed. Anyway, the leaders of the defense team wouldn’t care which team these temporary members should be in.

Before the night darkened, the task list for the night duty was drawn out. A team of temporary members would follow a team of regular members, and they would be on duty in different areas for two hours.

Before and after the duty, there would be a rest time. In order to give the soldiers a better rest, the training on the fourth morning only started at 6 am.

Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian were assigned to the second batch and were on duty from 10:00 pm to 12:00 pm. They couldn´t leave the city or they would be late, so they turned their attention to other trialers after a long time.

They slipped out of the barracks as soon as the rest time two days ago, and seven of the eight people they marked as suspected trial people had come together closely.

After announcing the duty arrangements, the soldiers were freed, and the six trialers took advantage of the night to go to a remote part of the barracks to discuss, completely unaware that there were two people listening not far away.

Xia Ruize deeply understood why people with invisible abilities in movies always do bad things, the feeling of doing bad things that others didn’t know about was really addicting. With [heart net], doing bad things without affecting his communication with his teammate was a perfect match.
