At dawn, Liang Zhihong came to report, "Over a hundred of our people were injured, all minor injuries, and 8 people died, all victims of the chaos."
"Many water bandits jumped into the river and escaped. 568 of them died, including many women and children."
"These people began to think that we would not kill women and children, so they launched an attack when we were not paying attention. This is how eight people died. Therefore, they killed all of them as long as they resisted."
"Only a small number of male bandits were caught, and most escaped by jumping into the river."
"The buildings and some boats on the water were burned, and only a few boats were left in good condition."
"A few buildings on the mountain side are intact, and then there are caves. Some caves are underwater. They are still being investigated for fear that some water bandits are hiding."
Ye Xing said, "Their strength has not been greatly damaged. We should immediately track down the whereabouts of the water bandits. If we cannot defeat them this time, they will cause endless trouble for us in the future."
"If you send people to investigate, you must not underestimate it. They have 9th-level experts."
Liang Zhihong nodded and hurriedly made arrangements.
Ye Xing asked about the food. Fortunately, the water bandits' food was stored in the cave. There was a large amount of food and it was not damaged.
The soldiers were asked to cook. There was no food, but they were hungry after a busy night. Everyone had a full meal with no food before going to do their own business.
Ye Xing and Li Qifeng were patrolling everywhere. The main force that escaped the water bandits this time would definitely not be in peace, and there was a lot of work to be done in the future;
To be honest, this battle was a failure. It did not achieve the set goal of annihilating the White Dragon Society at all. Instead, it left the opponent's main force intact, which caused countless troubles.
But the matter has come to this, there is nothing more to say, that’s all!
The two of them took a look at what preparations they had to make, and more importantly, immediately checked to see if there was anything wrong.
Along the way, more than a hundred women and children were tied together and sitting on the shore in fear. Dozens of male water bandits were tied to wooden stakes, each with a look of resentment on his face.
Of course Ye Xing didn't care at all, but he also understood that these people were not trustworthy even if they surrendered, so he just sneered and walked over.
When they arrived at the cave, several veteran members of the special training team were guarding them. When they saw Ye Xing and Li Qifeng, they quickly saluted.
Leafstar patted them on the shoulder to keep them on their toes.
Entering the cave, there was indeed a lot of food and many other items inside. In some small caves nearby, there were also a large number of various valuable items, gold, silver and jewelry. It's very neat and orderly here.
In a quiet room, which should be a study room, there are a large number of miscellaneous books. Ye Xing and Li Qifeng looked through them one by one, but found nothing big. They were probably looted and not anything too important.
Ye Xing asked someone to ask the prisoners where their gang leader lived.
A prisoner led Ye Xing and others to a small cave. It should be very deep and there was a stone door, but it was not difficult for Ye Xing to open it easily.
There was nothing luxurious inside, it was considered simple, but Ye Xing was very happy.
A lot of things were found from a desk, including a large number of banknotes and some personal letters and miscellaneous notes.
There are also some medicine bottles with more or less medicines in them, and there are names on the bottles.
Among the pile of miscellaneous items, there was also a book called "Mountain Moving Technique". Ye Xing had no expectations, so he flipped through it and found that it was a boxing book.
There were just some drawings in the book. They looked very ordinary and the moves were quite simple. However, there were also many thin lines on the drawings. Ye Xing was suddenly shocked and quickly stuffed them into his arms.
I kept checking, but there was nothing. Then go to some other caves, which are all training rooms. They should all be high-level training rooms.
Ye Xing put all the books and medicine bottles in a big cloth bag and took them out. Just at the entrance of the cave, I found a table and sat down.
Li Qifeng said, "Junior brother, what should we do now? We can't stay here anymore."
Ye Xing turned to a special training team member and said, "Call Li Yishan, Liang Zhihong, and the instructors."
When everyone arrived, Ye Xing explained the current situation and then asked, "This battle is basically a failure. If you stay here, you will definitely be constantly harassed by water bandits in the future. What do you want to say?" of?"
An instructor suggested, "Now we should go back to the two villages first. We have food, and then slowly attack these water bandits. Anyway, they have no food or weapons now. We just need them to gather together and find an opportunity to deal with them at once." .”
Everyone nodded.
Ye Xing said, "This is a prudent method. I want to do it with both hands at the same time! Li Yishan and Liang Zhihong each lead an army of 200 people, mainly cavalry. You must be careful to eliminate the water bandits."
"The most important thing to be careful about is that the oil base is attacked. There is no one there. They are all temporary farmers."
"Commander Li and I will each lead some people to transport the food back to the two villages. Make arrangements immediately and return immediately in the afternoon."
"Don't let those women, children, and some captives go. They will attract the water bandits to rescue people, so as to combat the water bandits."
In the afternoon, Ye Xing and Li Qifeng each led an army and each used hundreds of carriages to pull food and property back to the mountain stronghold.
Li Yishan and Liang Zhihong were left behind, each leading an army, all of which were cavalry, and sufficient food was left for them.
After four days of marching, Ye Xing returned to Hujiao Mountain. Looking at the food, he thought that he should be able to hold on in the village for another half a year.
Since all the original people in Hujiao Mountain were transferred to fight water bandits, those who stayed behind were composed of military academy cadets and special training team members, so everything was safe.
Ye Xing sent two flying birds to Osmanthus Peak. Most of the time, the birds returned and brought back the information that Li Qifeng had arrived at the village safely.
Ye Xing asked Wu Xuewen, a cadet from the military academy, to take charge of the affairs of the cottage. Lin Yifan, a special training team member from Yunhai Village, was the person in charge of security and was also responsible for the training of the cottage soldiers.
Ye Qingyan continued to be Ye Xing's assistant, responsible for delivering orders to Ye Xing.
Ye Xing summoned eight children and asked them to boldly speed up their experiments, mainly making greater improvements in batteries, generators, inductors, and antennas, and making stronger telegraph machines regardless of cost.
And asked Wu Xuewen to cooperate fully and meet all the requirements of the eight teenagers at any cost.
Ye Xing came to a mine and asked Ye Qingyan not to disturb him, and just prepare some water and food at the entrance of the cave every three days;
Ye Xing is preparing to practice with peace of mind for a while, and there has been no progress for a long time.
In three days, Ye Xing practiced all his water, wood, and fire internal skills and all his boxing techniques countless times. He used meditation as a rest and fully devoted himself to it. He found that there was no way to make any progress, and it must be a bottleneck.
Ye Xing took out "Mountain Moving Technique", which is an indigenous boxing technique. The patterns in it are all earth-type techniques.
Still using the original method, Ye Xing figured out all the details of the internal force meridians of the earth system in just five days based on the existing schematic diagram of the operation of internal force. He deduced it through internal vision.
Instructing Ye Qingyan not to look for him if nothing happened, Ye Xing walked deeper into the mine.
Don't stop until you reach the end. This is a mineral deposit and a place where the earth spirit is richer.
Ye Xing adjusted his breath for a long time, separated out twelve spiritual consciousnesses, and began to simultaneously introduce the earth spiritual energy from the exit points on the body surface of the earth meridians, all into the spleen, and then used the internal power of the water and wood systems to protect the meridians and remove the earth in the spleen. The spiritual energy was discharged along the meridians at high speed. It only took one day to reach the first level, and it took three days to consolidate.
Then Ye Xing let all the acupuncture points on the surface of his body introduce earth spiritual energy into the Dantian at the same time, and then used his spiritual consciousness to introduce the earth spiritual energy into the Dantian at the same time. Sure enough, the earth spiritual energy was completely integrated into the cyclone in the Dantian.
The cyclone has its own attraction, so the earth spiritual energy entering the body quickly enters the Dantian like all rivers returning to the sea.
The cyclone brings a yellow thin line, the rotation speed is faster, and the yellow color becomes more and more obvious. The small whirlpool has a great attraction, and the spiritual energy in the body is fully absorbed into the Dantian, and then the whole body's orifices are opened to the outside world. Spiritual energy pours into the body.
Next, Ye Xing continued to use cyclones to impact every meridian of the earth system, breaking and continuing, and then breaking again, over and over again.
These more painful practices make the meridians tougher, the acupuncture points on the meridians more obvious, and the muscles flowing through them stronger.
The cyclone became weaker and came back from practice. Now the cyclone has become four colors that are distinct and intertwined with each other, and have become smaller.
However, in less than twenty days, Ye Xing's internal strength of the earth system reached the fourth level, and reached the peak of the fourth level in one go. Now all the internal powers of the four systems have reached their peak.
Ye Xing is now convinced that as long as he cultivates the internal strength of the metal system, he will be able to advance to the fifth level very quickly, and the progress will be extremely rapid.
Now Ye Xing's total amount of internal energy is four times that of an ordinary acquired 4-level master, and the total amount of internal energy is also much higher than that of an ordinary 9-level master.
He is definitely not as good as a ninth-level warrior the day after tomorrow, but he can already leapfrog and challenge a seventh-level warrior.
