Douluo: A Century-old Legend I Am the Second Uncle Chenxin

Chapter 926 A War is Inevitable
"Hey, hey, hey, now is not the time for you to talk about this." Li Jinghua interrupted Chen Xiaojun and Feng Min.

He went on to say, "Let's first report the situations and intelligence we each have, and then discuss how we should act next."

Chen Xiaojun nodded solemnly and said in a deep voice: "Then let me first explain. This Wolf Bandit Tribe should be a new tribe formed by the remnants of the four major tribes of Astana, Vasquez, Rahman Khan, and Strick. The number of people is estimated to be between several thousand and tens of thousands."

Li Jinghua asked in confusion: "Remnants? How did you know?"

Chen Xiaojun's eyes became deep: "Because the main forces of these four tribes were killed by our Chen family a few years ago. Three of the four wolf bandit lords died and one was injured and escaped."

Li Jinghua nodded: "Is that so? No wonder we have hardly heard any news about these tribes in recent years."

Chen Xiaojun continued, "Well, back then our Chen family wiped out 40,000 wolf bandits in one fell swoop. The remaining defeated soldiers would naturally choose to band together for warmth or swallow each other up in order to survive."

Zhang Feng also interrupted at this time: "Then their target this time, isn't it you guys from the Chen family?"

Zhang Feng, a senior teacher at the Soul Emperor level, is a member of the camp staff of the Mountain Patrol Division. Usually, when there is a soul hunting operation, the camp will send people to support it.

This time, because Chen Xiaojun and others went into the mountains, Li Jinghua led the team and Zhang Feng served as his deputy.

Chen Xiaojun shook his head: "It may be related, but it is impossible that they are only targeting us; their target is obviously the camp."

He changed the subject and said, "Six days ago, we were attacked by three spirit masters, but we eventually killed them. We found this on them."

As he spoke, he threw something shining with golden light towards Li Jinghua.

Li Jinghua reached out to take it, his eyes instantly fixed on the token, and he couldn't help but utter three words: "Wolf Fang Token?!"

Chen Xiaojun's eyes became deep, and he slowly said: "Based on the current situation, if my guess is correct, the three soul masters we encountered should be just messengers."

Li Jinghua asked: "Messenger? Are you saying that someone has ordered the Wolf Bandits to attack our Chang'an College?"

Chen Xiaojun nodded and continued to explain: "That's right. Their actions this time were obviously hasty. If they had planned it in advance, with their strength, I'm afraid none of us would be able to escape."

"Therefore, killing us outsiders is just a side job for them. After all, the majority of people in this area of ​​the mountains are from Chang'an College."

Li Jinghua thought for a moment, then turned to look at the others: "Do you have anything else to say?"

Feng Min also spoke at this time, and said softly: "Everyone knows that our camp is located between two mountains, which is like a pass."

"It is not only a forward supply and rest station for our academy, but also set up to guard against spirit beasts and unpredictable dangers in the mountains."

"The camp's director is Ji Shuran. He is a decisive person. Faced with such an obvious disadvantage, I believe he will definitely initiate destruction measures."

Chen Xiaojun was a little surprised: "Ji Shuran?"

Feng Min explained: "He is the third brother of the patriarch, and the third uncle of Master Boda."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaojun couldn't help but nodded: "So that's how it is."

Chang'an College is an important force in Chang'an City. The top ten families have invested a lot of manpower in it. It is a vital part of Chang'an College. Ji Shuran, as an important member of the Ji family, is one of them.

In fact, this situation is common in famous colleges across the mainland.

"Destruction measures?" Chen Xiaojun expressed doubts again.

Feng Min shook his head: "I don't know the details, I just know that there is such a measure."

Li Jinghua's voice rang out: "The so-called destructive measures are to bury a large amount of soul explosives on the mountains on both sides."

"If the situation becomes critical, igniting the soul power explosives will destroy the mountain walls on both sides and block the passage. As for the exact location of the soul power explosives, only a few people in the Mountain Patrol Department know it."

As a quasi-senior in the academy, he naturally knew some of the secrets.

His words made everyone fall into deep thought. They knew that the seriousness of this incident was far beyond their imagination.

A trace of worry flashed across Chen Mu's face. He shook his head and said, "Blocking the passage? This would probably be futile for those soul beasts that are good at climbing. Moreover, it would not be able to stop the wolf bandit army for too long."

Li Jinghua patted Chen Mu's shoulder gently and consoled him: "This was originally a temporary measure to delay time."

"As long as we can buy the academy one or two days, it will be enough. By then, the academy's reinforcements and experts will arrive, and there will be hope of turning the situation around."

Chen Xiaojun's eyes became sharper, "Well, a war is inevitable."

He pondered for a moment and said, "If there were so many wolf bandits living here before, the academy should have discovered them long ago."

"So, such a large group of wolf bandits is likely to have come from Tianlang County."

Sirius County is the place with the most wolf bandits in the Shero Mountains.

Chen Xiaojun's words made everyone fall into deep thought.

Then, he continued in a cold voice: "If I were the commander of the Wolf Bandits, I would definitely send a group of troops south from Tianlang County to go around the back of the camp and form an encirclement."

"Although there are flying spirit masters in the camp, it is impossible for the wolf bandits not to be on guard against this."

When these words were spoken, everyone was frightened.

If the wolf bandits really adopted such tactics, the situation of the people in the camp would become precarious.

Chen Xiaojun took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm: "Now it all depends on whether the flying soul masters of the academy can successfully avoid the siege of the wolf bandits, or pray that the camp can send flying soul masters to ask the academy for support in advance."

The atmosphere became solemn again, and everyone could feel the invisible pressure.

Chen Xiaojun asked again: "How often do the academy and the camp communicate?"

Li Jinghua responded and said in a deep voice: "The academy will send various supplies to the camp every ten days; if we lose contact, the Patrol Division and the academy will definitely activate the emergency plan immediately."

Chen Mu raised his lips and said angrily: "If the Wolf Pirates are so smart, the emergency plan may not be useful. I'm afraid the Wolf Pirates will also consider the subsequent response of the academy."

Chen Xiaojun nodded and said, "That's right. The loss of the camp may just be the center of the vortex of this storm. This is the starting point for a series of subsequent changes. They may be attacking reinforcements."

Feng Min's eyelashes twitched slightly, and he said in disbelief: "Attack for reinforcements? With the strength of the Wolf Bandits, as long as we react in time, our academy is fully capable of dealing with it, not to mention that we have Dean Chen here."

Chen Mu's expression suddenly changed: "Grandpa has been the dean for several years. It is impossible for someone who can drive the wolf bandits not to know this. Will they... deal with Grandpa?"

The more he spoke, the colder his face became, almost freezing.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and the atmosphere instantly became tense. Feng Min quickly comforted them, "That's impossible. How powerful does it take to dare to deal with the dean?"

Zhang Feng also echoed, "Yes, if you want to deal with the dean, it will trigger a huge chain reaction, and the whole continent will be shaken."

Chen Xiaojun took a deep breath and said, "Not necessarily, but these things are far beyond our consideration. What we need to do now is to stay calm and be prepared for the current situation."

He turned to look at Chen Mu: "Old Five, don't worry too much, you have to believe in your grandfather's strength and wisdom."

Chen Mu was stunned for a moment, then he took a deep breath and calmed down. After all, he was also a member of the Chen family's main line who had been carefully nurtured since childhood.

Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat dull, Li Jinghua changed the topic at the right time, "Let's talk about ourselves. In this complicated situation, what should we do? What can we do? How can we do it?"

Chen Xiaojun nodded slightly, thinking about the current situation in his mind, and then said, "Although the academy has a complete emergency plan once the camp loses contact, even if it can respond quickly, it will take time to mobilize enough manpower and resources to counterattack the wolf bandits."

"Moreover, in these vast mountains and forests, the transmission of information is often affected by many uncontrollable factors."

"Although this place is only 50 to 60 miles away from the camp, as you all know, the mountain roads here are rugged, lakes are crisscrossed, and the forests are dense. The actual difficulty of walking here is much more difficult than on flat ground."

Chen Xiaojun said in a deep voice, his eyes sweeping across everyone's faces one by one, "Therefore, we cannot completely rely on the academy's rescue. We must prepare for the worst and be ready to fight alone."

Chen Mu also stood up at this time, "I agree with Lao Liu's opinion. We can't put all our hopes on others. We must rely on our own strength and fight for survival."

Li Jinghua nodded and agreed: "Very good, we really can't just sit there and wait for death."

“Perhaps, we can try to proactively contact the college through other channels, or look for opportunities to provide support to the college.”

Li Jinghua's words reminded Chen Mu, and he turned to ask Chen Xiaojun: "Sixth Brother, I remember you said before, use the Misty Forest as a base to support the academy's counterattack."

Chen Xiaojun was startled when he saw that everyone's eyes were focused on him, but he immediately calmed down and said in a deep voice: "We currently have the strength of more than 20 people left, but it is more than enough to deal with the general 500-man force of the Wolf Bandits."

Chen Xiaojun continued, "We can take the initiative and use guerrilla warfare to deal some damage to the Wolf Bandits."

"At the same time, if we can gather some of the academy personnel and independent soul masters in the mountains, our strength will be even greater, and the Wolf Bandits will naturally not allow a force like us to exist."

"As long as the Wolf Bandits divide their forces to deal with us, it will reduce the pressure on the front battlefield over at the camp."

"If the Wolf Bandits have fewer troops against us, we will take the opportunity to eat them; if there are more, we will hide in the Misty Forest."

"The Misty Forest, with its tall trees and dense forests and fog all around, is a great place to hide."

"Let the wolf thieves fight their own battles, and we'll fight our own battles!"

"We are in the midst of this change, and we are the biggest variable. Only when there are more variables will there be a qualitative change and the current situation will be opened up."

However, Feng Min couldn't help but put forward his own opinion: "There are two issues here that we need to consider."

"First, although the Misty Forest is a good place to hide, it also contains a lot of miasma."

"Although we all carry some medicines such as Miasma-Resisting Pills and Barrier-Avoiding Pills, if we stay in there for a long time, these medicines may not be enough."

"The second is the issue of supplies, especially food supplies. Once we enter the Misty Forest, our food supply will become unstable."

"We have quite a few people, and our daily food consumption is also huge."

Feng Min's words made everyone fall into deep thought. These two problems were indeed difficult issues that needed to be seriously considered. If not solved properly, they would directly affect their survival and combat effectiveness.

Not to mention the forest, where food supply is easy to solve, many things are inedible and poisonous, especially in foggy forests where the sun is not seen all year round and sunlight is scarce.

Chen Mu thought of something, and then asked: "Sixth Brother, you should have considered these two questions, right?"

Chen Xiaojun smiled slightly and nodded: "Well, I have indeed thought about the miasma."

"We can first send a group of people to collect intelligence and resources in the forest, and at the same time investigate the distribution of miasma."

"We have Dugu Fu in our team. As a member of the Dugu family of the Green Scaled Snake, he has mastered the secret technique of absorbing toxins. Bring him with us to facilitate the investigation. We can avoid places where miasma is concentrated."

At this point, he paused, turned his gaze towards the crowd, and continued, "As for the issue of food supplies..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a flash of light, and two large soul beast corpses suddenly appeared beside him.

Everyone looked closely and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Chu Bohan's eyes froze, "Blazing Guardian Beast, Shadow Scaled Beast?"

Li Jinghua also frowned and asked, "Did you go to Bailu Mountain?"

As a place where thousands of thousand-year-old soul beasts gather, the danger of Bailu Mountain is self-evident.

Chen Xiaojun laughed and nodded: "Well, this dog meat and pangolin meat are both rare delicacies."

Li Jinghua couldn't help but shook his head: "You are really brave. Bailu Mountain is not a place you can just go to casually."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. These two soul beasts are indeed good, but in terms of numbers... even if you have several of them, it's just a drop in the bucket."

Before he could finish his words, Chen Xiaojun interrupted him: "Director Li, what if there are 100 heads?"

Li Jinghua was stunned, then shook his head and said, "One hundred heads are not enough for so many of us... Wait, how many did you say? One hundred heads?"

Chen Xiaojun smiled slightly and waved his hand. This time, what appeared in front of everyone was the corpses of more than a dozen soul beasts, stacked high.

Not only Li Jinghua and the others were surprised, but even the other soul masters not far away were frightened by the sudden appearance of the soul beast corpse.

"You...you dug out their lair and wiped out their entire clan? How did you do it?" Li Jinghua asked in a depressed tone.

You know, not everyone can deal with these hundred soul beasts. Even if they join forces, they may not be able to take them down.

Chen Xiaojun just smiled faintly and said casually: "It's just luck."

Li Jinghua said angrily, "Luck, haha, you are lucky, so many times. You can actually put down so many corpses."

Chen Xiaojun raised his left hand and said, "I'm lucky. I have the Void Bracelet."

Li Jinghua: “…”
