Lin Beichen nodded slightly and confirmed: "That's right!"

"Then what do you have in mind?" Captain Li asked curiously, his eyes fixed on Lin Beichen's face.

Lin Beichen pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "We can find someone to explore for us, and let them cross the minefield first. In this way, we can pass safely."

"What? You mean you want to sacrifice others to scout the way for us? That's absolutely not possible!"

Captain Li immediately retorted that his army would never make such a callous decision.

Every soldier is like his own brother, how can he let them go to die?

Lin Beichen sighed softly, realizing that Captain Li had misunderstood his meaning: "I didn't say that we should use real people to explore the way."

Captain Li frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Have you heard of the ancient stories of sowing beans to create soldiers and cutting grass to make horses?" Lin Beichen tried to explain.

Captain Li looked confused. "Are you talking about the legend where Guiguzi taught Sun Bin and Pang Juan how to deploy troops?"

"That's right." Lin Beichen nodded, "We can also learn from this method now."

Captain Li sneered, clearly unconvinced: "Have you read too many novels? We are chasing the mercenaries now, not daydreaming!"

His good impression of Lin Beichen disappeared in an instant. He originally thought that he was a promising person, but now he seemed to be an unrealistic dreamer.

However, Lin Beichen didn't care about his ridicule and said calmly: "Although we can't really make soldiers out of beans, we can use these weeds to make some scarecrows to explore the way for us."

"Scarecrow?" Xia Luyao repeated, and saw that Lin Beichen had already started pulling out the weeds on the roadside.

Captain Li turned to Xia Luyao and questioned, "Your Viper Special Forces just found someone who talks nonsense? Is there anyone who believes such nonsense?"

But Xia Luyao nodded seriously: "I believe Lin Beichen, he must have his reasons for saying that."

After saying that, she walked over to Lin Beichen and started helping pull out the weeds.

Captain Li looked at them in astonishment, then turned to ask the other members of the Viper Special Forces: "Have you all been brainwashed by him?"

Feiying and others came over and patted him on the shoulder: "Captain Li, we also think that what Lin Beichen said makes sense."

After that, they also joined the ranks of pulling weeds and making scarecrows. Captain Li shook his head in astonishment: "You are crazy, you are all crazy!"

At this time, footsteps were heard from behind. Captain Li looked back and found that it was the soldiers led by Long Chuzhi who had arrived.

"Captain Long, why are you here?" Company Captain Li asked in confusion.

Long Chuzhi said solemnly: "There are minefields on the road ahead, so we can't get through. So we came here to meet up with you and find a solution together."

Lieutenant Li told them that their road was also mined, and pointed ahead and said, "That kid said he wanted to make a scarecrow and imitate the ancient method of cutting grass to make a horse to cross the minefield. What a joke."

Long Chuzhi looked at Lin Beichen and others who were busy, frowned slightly, but did not express his opinion immediately.

Captain Li thought she didn't believe it either, so he continued, "Let's find another way out as soon as possible."

But Long Chuzhi said: "Let's wait and see, maybe he really has a way."

After seeing Lin Beichen's Eight Diagrams, she began to have some trust in him.

This time, she wanted to see what other amazing performances Lin Beichen could come up with.

Soon, Lin Beichen and others had made seven or eight scarecrows.

Lin Beichen took a look and said, "These should be enough."

Then he took out some talisman papers, bit his middle finger and drew talismans on them, then stuck them on the faces of each scarecrow, and finally dripped a drop of blood on the forehead of each scarecrow.

Then, an incredible scene happened!

The moment Lin Beichen's drop of blood touched the scarecrow's forehead, the blood slowly seeped into it.

Then, the scarecrow seemed to be injected with life. It miraculously stood up and began to walk slowly forward.

Although the members of the Viper Special Forces had witnessed Lin Beichen's various extraordinary methods, they still found it unbelievable when they saw the scarecrow seemed to come alive.

The ordinary soldiers, especially Captain Li, opened their eyes wide, with faces full of astonishment and confusion.

Captain Li looked at the incredible scene before him and was so shocked that he was speechless. He could only point tremblingly at the scarecrow.

Lin Beichen looked at his mouth, which was wide enough to fit an egg, sighed softly, and then snapped his fingers crisply.

The scarecrow immediately stopped moving and stood still.

The soldiers were once again shocked by the scene before them. They had never seen such a strange scene before. Captain Li finally found his voice. He asked Lin Beichen in surprise: "How...how did they do this?"

Lin Beichen glanced at him calmly and explained, "These are just some basic Taoist techniques."

He went on to explain that although "scattering beans to make soldiers and cutting grass to make horses" sounds a bit mysterious, it is actually a Taoist skill.

Then, Lin Beichen dripped blood on each scarecrow, making them seem to come to life.

To ensure that the scarecrows could detonate the mines, he also hung stones on each scarecrow to increase its weight.

After everything was ready, Lin Beichen whispered a spell, then waved his hand, and seven or eight scarecrows walked towards the minefield in an orderly manner.

Soon after entering the minefield, a mine was detonated, dirt and gravel splashed everywhere, and the arms of the two scarecrows were blown off.

However, these scarecrows seemed unconscious and continued to move forward firmly, with mines exploding under their feet.

At this time, in the command room of the Southwest Garrison District, Shi Qingsong and Chief of Staff Chen Wenshan witnessed all this through real-time images.

Both of them were shocked by Lin Beichen's methods.

Chen Wenshan asked in disbelief: "How did Lin Beichen do this?"

Shi Qingsong shook his head: "I don't know either, but this kid does have many abilities that cannot be explained by science."

He briefly recounted to Chen Wenshan Lin Beichen's extraordinary performance in previous military exercises, such as using formations to block communications and start fires peacefully.

After listening to Shi Qingsong's narration, Chen Wenshan was even more astonished: "This Lin Beichen actually has such a skill? Could it be that the legendary Taoist magic really exists?"

Shi Qingsong shook his head again: "Maybe. But the most important thing now is to catch those mercenaries and prevent them from escaping across the border. We can talk about other things later."

At the same time, on the opposite side of the ambush by the mercenaries led by Lao Mao, they were waiting for the sound of the mine explosion.

However, after waiting for a long time, there was no movement.

The old cat began to lose patience and asked in confusion: "What's going on? Why hasn't the mine exploded yet?"

A mercenary speculated: "Could it be that they saw through our ambush?"

The old cat glared at him and said unkindly, "Impossible! We were lying in ambush so secretly, how could they have discovered us?"

Before they could finish their words, an explosion was heard behind them.

The old cat smiled grimly: "Look, isn't this the bait?"

He stood up and prepared to admire the results, but when he saw the scene in front of him, the smile on his face froze and his eyes showed disbelief.

"Damn it! What the hell is this!"

The old cat widened his eyes, looked ahead in horror, and couldn't help cursing.

The minefield he carefully arranged was originally intended to deal with those Chinese special forces, but now, what he encountered was a group of scarecrows!

These scarecrows were blown to pieces by landmines, missing limbs and some even had their heads gone.

But even so, they still moved forward firmly, and mines exploded under their feet. "Old Cat, what are those? Why do they look so weird?" a mercenary asked in a trembling voice.

He had been through hundreds of battles, but had never seen such a strange scene.

……

"No matter what they are, shoot them!" The old cat roared, raised the gun in his hand, and shot frantically at the scarecrow in the minefield.

He didn't believe that there were any ghosts in this world and thought that it must be the work of the Chinese special forces.

When the Scarecrow came into range, the mercenaries in ambush opened fire.

However, the scarecrows seemed to feel no pain and continued to move forward firmly until they passed through the minefield and turned into piles of straw clippings.

The mercenaries breathed a sigh of relief, but then their hearts began to tighten again.

A safe passage has been cleared in the minefield, and the Chinese special forces are chasing quickly.

After the special forces rushed into the firing range, they immediately opened fire back.

"Retreat quickly!" Lao Mao ordered, and evacuated quickly with his men.

The reason they retreated was, firstly, because the Chinese special forces were coming in full force, and secondly, because Lao Mao still had a backup plan.

……

At the same time, the two special forces and soldiers from the Southwest Garrison District chased after them.

They finally discovered the old cat's whereabouts and they must not let it go easily.

However, shortly after crossing the minefield, a grenade suddenly fell from the sky.

Everyone dodged in a hurry, but were still knocked to the ground by the shock wave.

Fortunately, no one was injured and everyone helped each other to stand up.

But at this moment, a gunshot suddenly came from the distance!
Just as Captain Li was about to stand up, a bullet suddenly hit his arm. He groaned and fell to the ground again.

"There's a sniper!" Long Chuzhi shouted immediately, "Suppress the fire!"

The soldiers quickly raised their guns and fired in all directions, while two soldiers rushed towards Captain Li to rescue him.

But the ambushing sniper opened fire again, knocking down two soldiers.

……

"Get down! One o'clock!" With his rich combat experience, Xia Luyao quickly determined the sniper's position and shouted.

The soldiers quickly lay down and fired wildly towards one o'clock!

But because the distance was too far, the sniper could not be reached at all.

"Stop shooting! Where is our sniper?" Long Chuzhi asked anxiously.

Now we have to rely on snipers to fight back.

However, when they looked back, they found that their sniper was injured by a grenade and could not move!

After the soldiers stopped shooting, the enemy sniper shot again at the fallen Captain Li!

The bullet hit Captain Li's thigh directly, and he groaned in pain.

Seeing this, a soldier immediately rushed forward to rescue, but his action fell into the enemy's trap.

"Come back!" Xia Luyao shouted, but it was too late.

With a gunshot, the soldier was knocked to the ground and everyone looked solemn.

Captain Li turned his head to look at them and shouted in pain, "Don't come over here again!"

The other party wanted to demonstrate by attacking him. If they got any closer, they would just die in vain!

"Captain Li!" everyone shouted with anger and pity on their faces.

Seeing their superiors and comrades being treated like this and they were powerless to do anything, everyone felt a great sense of powerlessness.

"This is an order!" Captain Li said gritting his teeth, his face covered in a mixture of blood foam and sweat as he tried his best to endure the pain.

After saying that, he endured the pain, slowly reached out his hand, took out the pistol on his leg, and pointed it at his head.

"Captain, don't do that!" All the soldiers shouted in horror. They wanted to rush up to stop him, but they couldn't get close.

However, at this moment, another gunshot was heard from the front, and the bullet directly hit Captain Li's arm holding the gun.

With a "bang", the gun in his hand fell out of his hand due to a bullet wound in his arm, and he was unable to lift his arm for a while due to the injury!
This time, Captain Li could no longer hold back and wailed in pain!
Immediately afterwards, a figure suddenly rushed up!
"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and the soldier who was trying to rescue Captain Li fell to the ground.

"Who told you to charge up here? Didn't you hear my order?"

Captain Li's voice was full of helplessness and anger. He didn't want to see his comrades sacrifice for him again.

……

Captain Li slowly took off his helmet and looked at his comrades who had fought alongside him, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.

"Brothers, do me a favor and let me go in peace." His voice was low and firm.

Everyone was silent, with unspeakable sadness and pity revealed on their faces.

How could they bear to end the lives of their comrades with their own hands?

Lin Beichen looked around, and when he saw the tree in front of him, he had a plan in mind.

……

Lin Beichen gently put down the gun in his hand, stroked the palm of his right hand with his left hand, moved his lips slightly, and chanted a spell.

"Five hundred thunder gods are in my palm, pushing away the earth and cracking the sky. If evil spirits and ghosts encounter this, they will turn into dust in an instant!"

After finishing the spell, Lin Beichen's eyes focused and he slowly raised his right hand with the palm facing upwards.

The electric current swirled like a silver snake, and finally turned into a lightning snake, wrapping around his entire palm.

His cultivation level has greatly increased, and now he can use palm thunder without the help of rain.

The surrounding soldiers were shocked and stunned.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Beichen used his palm thunder to strike the tree in front of Captain Li.

"Crack!" The big tree broke and fell straight down, just forming a barrier for Captain Li.

The sniper could no longer aim at Captain Li.

The soldiers seized the opportunity, rushed forward quickly, rescued Captain Li and provided treatment.

Captain Li looked sideways at Lin Beichen, a mixture of gratitude and surprise. He had never expected that Lin Beichen would save him in such a strange way from a desperate situation.

Lin Beichen is indeed extraordinary!

……

After successfully rescuing Captain Li, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time were full of respect and curiosity for Lin Beichen.

Lin Beichen's ears kept ringing with electronic reminders, and his faith value continued to rise, but he was not interested in these at the moment. The most urgent task was to deal with the ambushing sniper! (End of this chapter)
