The Resentful Me and My Stealing System

"Where is there." Shi Jiu said politely, "Today is mainly on the road, there will be no danger, so let's talk more and get to know each other better."

Chang Le chimed in: "On the battlefield, knowing more about your companions can greatly improve your tacit understanding. Brother Shi is right."

Shi Jiu looked at Chang Le in surprise, and felt that today's Tianmen Mountain disciples were very friendly to him.

Qiu Xiaoxiao seemed to be very curious about Shi Jiu: "Brother Shi Jiu, I heard that the Hehuan Sect demon is a fifth-rank master, are you also a fifth-rank master?"

"No, I'm first grade." Shi Jiu replied very frankly.

The people around laughed out loud, feeling that they learned another joke today.

"Yipin?" Qiu Xiaoxiao's face froze for a moment, completely unexpected that Shi Jiu would answer like this.

Didn't Gao Shou and the others say that Senior Brother Shi is an upright person?Why are you talking nonsense?

Shi Jiu smiled slightly, turning his back on the customer: "Can't you see it? I am a first-class product."

Qiu Xiaoxiao smiled embarrassingly: "Senior brother Shi must have more than one grade, right? Otherwise, how could he kill the monster of the fifth grade——Why did senior brother Shi hide his cultivation? Show us how good your martial arts are~"

"I didn't hide it." Shi Jiu was so magnanimous that others suspected that he was talking ironically, "I'm only a first-class product, can't you see it?"

Chang Le already sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, but Qiu Xiaoxiao seemed to be fighting Shi Jiu: "But since senior brother Shi is a first-rank master, how did he manage to beat a fifth-rank grandmaster?"

Shi Jiu shook his head in great confusion: "I'm not sure about that, maybe they always like to hit me with knives."

But his big truth is all nonsense in the ears of others, and Chang Le also knows that the topic should end here, and it would be impolite to ask further: "Xiao Xiao, what Brother Shi means is not to think about relying on him in the next action, We go down the mountain for experience, not for play."

Qiu Xiaoxiao grumbled sullenly and stopped talking.

Seeing a chance to interject, Li Zhuoyun finally asked the question in his heart: "Speaking of which, shall we separate from the army?"

"There are people from the army over there?" Qiu Xiaoxiao stretched his neck and looked towards the army, but he was too short to see anything at all, "I don't think their cultivation level is high... can it work... "

Most of the Tianmen Mountain disciples who went down the mountain to practice are less than twenty, and the biggest one is only 23, which is about the same age as Shi Jiu.But some of them have reached the third rank, and the rest are at the second rank.In terms of individual strength, they are higher than their peers in the demon slayer and the army.

Take the demon hunters that Shi Jiu knew as an example. The youngest is Wang Lu, but he is already in his thirties, and he just broke through to the second rank in the past two years.But the group of Tianmen Mountain disciples in front of them are at the bottom of the second rank, and the high ones are already at the third rank.

Although Shi Jiu didn't know the actual combat capability of the army, he could make up: "The army has the army's style of fighting, and the monster-killing division has the monster-killing division's style of fighting. This operation is led by the army, and our cooperation is to .”

"Then we can't fight head-on?" Qiu Xiaoxiao's focus was surprising, "It feels like their posture... seems to exclude us."

"Little." Chang Le frowned, "Don't talk nonsense, and obey the rules."

"I know..." Qiu Xiaoxiao muttered dissatisfiedly, "But aren't we a cooperative relationship... and our cultivation level is higher than theirs, why do we have to be ranked in such a low place..."

"Stop complaining, the horn is sounding." Shi Jiu turned his head to look in the direction where the horn sounded, "It's time for us to set off."

Chapter 62 Chapter 60 Crowd Focus

After leaving the city, Shi Jiu gradually felt something was wrong.

In the plan, the army should be divided into four groups and rush to the south.On the other hand, the disciples of Tianmen Mountain were mixed with the monster slayer, and followed the right wing of the army.

Shi Jiu recalled in his mind the route they should take in the plan, but found that the army didn't seem to intend to wipe out the monsters in other directions, but all the members went directly to the south.Moreover, the marching speed of the army is extremely fast. If this momentum continues, he will soon be left behind.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes in the distance, Shi Jiu frowned in confusion.

At this time, they had already entered the range of detecting monsters, and there were indeed shouts and shouts from the front.However, there are not many monsters here, not enough for the [-] sergeants to display their strength, let alone the large weapons they brought.

"How many monsters are there in front?" Li Zhuoyun asked Shi Jiu in confusion, "Why do I feel like I haven't encountered any monsters for a long time, but the fight ahead is quite fun..."

"I don't know." Shi Jiu was also confused, feeling that today's monster suppression operation seems to be completely different from what he said a few days ago, "There should actually be very few monsters in the south... After all, the south is Huainan City, Huainan City The demon slayer will also regularly clean up the monsters."

Chang Le hesitated to speak.

He also wanted to ask Shi Jiu what was going on. A few days ago, the government had said that they would go out of the city to suppress the demons, and the preparations were very thorough.But when I left the city today, I found that there were only three or two monsters here and there.But the government sent [-] soldiers, Jinxiang City's military strength is so worthless?

"Don't speculate on the meaning of the above, we know far less than the above." Shi Jiu comforted the others, "There must be a reason for the above arrangement, we just follow it."

However, Shi Jiu's words caused Qiu Xiaoxiao to complain: "The bragging was so loud before, but when it comes out today, why are there so many monsters... Shouldn't we just follow along and watch for a day?" I couldn't speak for a long time.

First of all, it is very abnormal for the whole army to go south, because according to the map compiled by the monster killer a few days ago, the density of monsters in the south of the city is not high.The people in the army didn't give them any explanation along the way, as if the army had its own goals.

"Keep up." Shi Jiu frowned, realizing that the marching speed of the troops in front had suddenly accelerated, "Don't fall behind, they are speeding up."

----------------

On the side of the frontal troops, there were also demon slayers who sensed that something was wrong.

"I said... why did the city guards charge so fast?" Uncle Ma asked Zhou Guotai, "Didn't they say that they would divide into four groups and drive the monsters from the south to the encirclement? Let me see what they are doing..."

Zhou Guotai also frowned: "There is no sign of splitting the road, so we just go straight to the southeast...Feng Shu, do you know anything?"

Feng Shu is Hallmaster Bai's confidant, so he is most likely to know any news, but at this time he is also at a loss: "I don't know, the orders I received with you should be the same, is there any temporary change? ?”

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. At this time, Hall Master Bai was waiting for the direct dispatch of Deputy Envoy Li in the middle camp. Even if they wanted to inquire, they couldn't find anything.

"What should we do now?" Wang Lu asked worriedly, "Rush to the designated place according to the original plan, or follow the army?"

The other demon hunters were also at a loss, and turned their eyes to Hall Master Li He who was present.

"Keep the original marching route and rush to the designated place." Li He's face remained unchanged, as if he knew this would happen.

One of Li He's demon hunters boldly asked: "Master Li He, is this... a change in plan?"

Li He glared at him fiercely: "Don't ask if you shouldn't ask, let's go!"

The demon hunters accompanying the army set off immediately, dispersed into several small teams, and followed behind the army like horns.But they followed a diagonal line and were gradually distanced by the army.

Soon, they arrived at a hill and dispersed into sentries according to the predetermined plan to guard the vision in all directions.

Then there is nothing to do.

This strange situation made the demon hunter uneasy: "Master Li, what are we here for?"

"Wait." Li He sat on a stone with a golden sword, and his sword, which was nearly a person's height, was placed on the side of the stone. hold on!"

Zhou Guotai was pacing on the spot, and he could see that he was in a hurry, but he was suppressed by Li He's order, so he didn't dare to ask aloud.

They had never seen this kind of battle before, and it was weird from the beginning to the end.

At this moment, a loud explosion from a distance broke the peace on the small hill.The demon hunters subconsciously picked up their weapons and prepared to fight, but they saw Li He still sitting motionless on the stone, and even raised his hand to signal them to calm down.

"Wait."

……

On the other side of the battlefield, the mixed team of Monster Slayer and Tianmen Mountain also arrived at the predetermined location, and at the same time they heard the loud noise.As soon as Shi Jiu raised his head, he saw dozens of slender thick smoke bursting up in the sky, and the end of the thick smoke shone like a fire tree growing out of the ground.

"It's really just a honeycomb cannon." Shi Jiu complained subconsciously, "Do you have precision guidance?"

"boom--"

Another loud noise came, and it was unknown which heavenly creation fired again.Even at a distance of several kilometers, the rising smoke can be seen being pushed outward by the shock wave.

Not only Shi Jiu, but even the four Tianmen Mountain disciples behind him were dumbfounded.Although he was not there, judging from the momentum alone, the power of this cannon might be able to turn several acres of land upside down.

"That's... a firearm?" Qiu Xiaoxiao stared blankly at the thick smoke that was clearly visible several kilometers away, "This is comparable to a full blow from a fifth-rank grandmaster..."

Shi Jiu didn't answer, pretending to acquiesce, but in fact he didn't know what to do.

In his previous life, he only watched the smoke and dust around the cannon when it was fired from the video. Even if it was only a 155-caliber howitzer, the range of the shock wave was very large-this was the smoke and dust near the cannon, not the impact of the shell.

The absolute killing range of the 155-caliber howitzer is a circle with a radius of 60 meters, which is equivalent to 17 acres of land when converted into an area.And the smoke and dust generated by the firearms of the distant army is similar to that of a 155-caliber howitzer. Where does the shell fall...

This has to go to see the size of the crater.

Shi Jiu didn't dare to guess that Dagan's gunpowder technology was as strong as the motherland in his previous life, but when he thought that this was a fantasy world where thousands of swords were fired with a wave of his little hand, he couldn't help but suspect that the power of this fantasy cannon could not be as powerful as the howitzer in his previous life. come high.

Looking at the thick smoke rising in the distance, Shi Jiu confirmed one thing.If the imperial court and the common people are regarded as two groups, then the technological advantages and individual strength advantages that the imperial court has over the peasants are beyond comprehension.

In this world, peasant uprisings are impossible, and there must be extremely powerful personal force to take the lead.After all, the people are still using cattle to plow the land, and the imperial court even has honeycomb guns...

The bombardment seemed to be just the beginning. The army in the distance continued to fire at an unknown place. In just a few tens of seconds, the sound of the artillery was so loud that even Shi Jiu felt the earth shaking.

"Prepare to engage the enemy." Shi Jiu shifted the scabbard on his back to the side, "There is already a battle ahead."

"But we are so far away, will there be monsters running over..." Qiu Xiaoxiao said sullenly, "Why do I feel that the city guards let us guard here because they are afraid that we will cause trouble?"

Shi Jiu was at a loss for words for a moment, because Qiu Xiaoxiao's novel really made sense.And as a monster slayer, it is difficult for him to guarantee that he is not with the army in the eyes of Tianmen Mountain disciples.

"Brother Shi, do you know what's going on?" Li Zhuoyun finally couldn't help asking, "Why does it feel so different from the plan we knew before?"

According to the original strategy, the army should be divided into four groups to drive the monsters to the encirclement, kill the monsters and Tianmen Mountain to plug the leak, and then the army should eliminate the main force of the monsters - of course, this is in the face of a large number of monsters .

But now, the army is charging ahead and there is no way to split, Yaozhan and Tianmen Mountain don't know whether to keep up or rush to the original location.

Not only Shi Jiu's group, even other groups also sensed something was wrong.Just when everyone was about to communicate with each other, the messenger of the city guard finally arrived.

"Order—Monster Killer and the teams of Tianmen Mountain, act according to the original plan, and it is forbidden to ask about the details of the operation!"

The messenger only passed on this sentence, and then went back in a circle without stopping, leaving the demon slayer and the disciples of Tianmen Mountain in a mess in the wind.

A bold Tianmen Mountain disciple suddenly sacrificed his flying sword to chase after the messenger: "Wait a minute! What's going on here? Has something happened ahead?"

But the messenger didn't stop at all, and just replied sullenly: "Don't ask, this is a military order, Master Li specially ordered it."

At this moment, Xiao Yusheng's voice suddenly sounded: "Come back."

Hearing Xiao Yusheng's voice, the disciple froze for a moment, and reluctantly turned back with his sword.

Xiao Yusheng's figure flew towards him from a distance, but he didn't stop the messenger, but watched him leave.

The atmosphere suddenly became much colder. No one knew why the government called them out and then left them aside. Everyone wanted an explanation, and the demon hunters were no exception.

Xiao Yusheng's gaze first turned to Shi Jiu, and then to Zhang Haitao.Zhang Haitao is the person in charge of the handover of cooperation between Tianmen Mountain and Monster Slayer, and he must explain this matter.

But Zhang Haitao didn't know how to explain this kind of thing, because he was also at a loss.

"Do you know why?" Xiao Yusheng's voice was cold and clear, making the people who heard it feel cold all over.

Beads of sweat the size of soybeans ooze from Zhang Haitao's forehead, there is no hall master here, and Xiao Yusheng is the person with the highest cultivation level on the surface.Although Shi Jiu is said to be able to defeat a fifth-rank grandmaster, he has never seen it with his own eyes, so he dare not gamble on this possibility.What's more, Xiao Yusheng is the first disciple of Tianmen Mountain, if he fights with her, he will be unable to eat at both ends.

Zhang Haitao hesitated for a long time, but the more he hesitated, the more people around him focused on him.All of a sudden, other Tianmen Mountain disciples around chased after Xiao Yusheng and surrounded Zhang Haitao.

The other demon hunters also noticed the change in the atmosphere. Although they didn't draw out their weapons, they unconsciously approached Zhang Haitao and blocked the Tianmen Mountain disciple with their bodies.

"You demon slayers are cooperating with us to destroy demons. Why do you cover up from beginning to end?" Someone in the crowd questioned, "Let us stand by here now, and the city guards have rushed so far. What are we here for?"

Shi Jiu was also puzzled, but he didn't know how to explain this situation...
