If there was no special reminder from Wu Wei, even if Shen Qian was a little wary of Ling Tianhou, the degree would not be particularly high.
But after knowing that Ling Tianhou personally asked him to go to the southwest war zone, Shen Qian couldn't help but think about it.
In fact, if Shen Qian didn't know about this, he really wouldn't make too many connections. After all, the Southwest War Zone covers three provinces, including Shen Qian's hometown, so he would naturally be more inclined to go to this war zone.
It was precisely because of this vigilance that Shen Qian just acted "impulsively" deliberately and showed a weakness in front of Ling Tianhou.
If the other party wants to target him, or wants to get the three Chaos Stones in Shen Qian's hand through this matter, then something may be revealed.
But Ling Tianhou's performance was completely beyond Shen Qian's expectations.
That kind of behavior can indeed be regarded as a certain degree of favoritism.
It was as if Ling Tianhou not only had no ill intentions towards him, but also had a certain degree of affection for him... But this was absolutely impossible.
Or...it doesn't rule out that the other party has a bigger plot, so he can tolerate himself for a short time?
The unknown is the scariest thing. Shen Qian thought about it but couldn't think of any reason that Ling Tianhou had against him. He could only sigh to himself and put away his thoughts. No matter what, even if he faced a top prince now, , at least not without the power to resist.
At the same time, Shen Qian also kept reminding himself that every move in the southwest theater must be done with caution.
Even if he doesn't care, he still bears the fate of Lin Sanmo and others. The "malice" of a top prince is definitely not something they can bear.
"Shen Qian...captain?"
Shen Qian, who gradually came back to his senses, remembered that because of the movement just now, Lin Sanmo and others, as well as Li Muyi and Zheng Guangxi, had been alerted and were looking at him in the hall with strange eyes, and this shouting The title that changed halfway through came from Zheng Guangxi.
There was obviously still some shock and fear in his eyes, as if he didn't expect that Shen Qian's strength was far beyond his guess.
"It's okay, let's all go to bed early."
Shen Qian glanced at everyone and smiled.
Can this be summed up by "nothing"?
Zheng Guangxi opened his mouth, wanting to say something or ask something, but when he turned his eyes, he found that except for a small amount of surprise in Li Muyi, the others, whether it was the taciturn Lin Sanmo, Zhao Keyi, who was still a little out of his mind, had a accustomed expression on his face, as if it was no big deal.
ha!
Zheng Guangxi wanted to laugh out loud and say that you are really good at acting. You are the "Snake" who has been active in the center of the earth for hundreds of years, but in the end he resisted this impulse.
"Do we really have to recruit our own players?"
In the end, Qu Bai just asked.
"Well, I think Yue Dakan, Geng Qianqiu and Ye Shicong are about to break through the mountains and seas. If they want to experience it, they can enter the 'old days'."
Shen Qian nodded slightly and casually stated the thought that just occurred to him.
"That's fine. Da Kan was still regretful before we came here. He should be making a breakthrough. Now he doesn't have to worry about not having enough places." Qu Bai pondered and nodded.
A rookie who just broke through the mountains and seas?
Zheng Guangxi couldn't help but curse in his heart, but the image of Qu Feng being beaten by Shen Qian once again appeared in his mind, and he fell silent again.
He suddenly realized that if Shen Qian could maintain this strength, the strength of the remaining team members would not be so important.
…
In Shen Qian's secret embankment, time passed quickly, and another week passed in the blink of an eye.
During this time, Shen Qian had become completely familiar with the operation mode of the entire fortress, and the result was not as hectic as he expected.
After all, these patrol teams are used as emergency mobile forces, and there are regular mountain and sea combat forces stationed outside all the currently opened "doors". For example, if an unexpected situation occurs at the A-level "door" in the mountain city, only Shen I met him once the day before I arrived.
In seven days, the Old Team also went out on two missions, but they were both very routine clearing missions.
One time, he cooperated with the garrison to round up some monsters that had mutated due to the radiation from the power behind the "door". The other time, he entered a C-level "door" alone and conducted a secondary cleanup.
There was no big danger both times. Only Zhao Keyi, a fool, almost died because he touched the trap set by the indigenous strongman behind the C-level "door", but he was still close to death.
The strongest person he encountered during the whole process was Shanhai Wutian, and Zheng Guangxi could easily kill him without even needing Shen Qian to take action.
What Shen Qian is more concerned about is whether he can find out the truth behind the large-scale opening of the "door". Unfortunately, the ancestor seems to be a creature behind the "door" called the "fish tribe", and he can't explain the reason for the emergence of the "door" either.
I only know that this "door" to the earth appeared a long time ago, and was later sealed by the powerful human race, until it is opened again now.
The reason why they are trying to enter the earth through this "door" is also very simple. The water source of the lake island world where they are located is seriously polluted, and the entire ethnic group is on the verge of extinction.
"Lake Island World" is the name given by Shen Qian himself. That small world is full of criss-crossing lakes, rivers and various islands. The fish people live on their backs, excluding the qualitatively changed waters. The scenery is quite good, Shen I specially took a lot of short videos and sent them to Ding Yi, um, and the eighth senior sister... and Xiaoxuan... and the vice principal, uh...
Bah, scumbag!
Shen Qian put away his thoughts of memories and turned to thinking about another thing.
There was still no movement from Ling Tianhou...
During the period when Shen Qian was on high alert, everything seemed normal. Shen Qian originally thought that since Ling Tianhou did not come out openly, maybe the crisis would be hidden in the tasks assigned to him, but both tasks went smoothly. It went smoothly, with no hidden twists and turns.
In fact, I don’t know if it’s because the Old Team is not fully established yet, but there have been five missions related to B-level or higher “doors” this week, but none of them have anything to do with the Old Team.
It made Shen Qian wonder if he was overthinking it. Ling Tianhou actually had no bad intentions and recruited him into the Southwest War Zone simply because he liked him.
Or maybe it was because Ling Tianhou had some scruples.
Because Shen thought about it before and after, he contacted Wu Wei again and told Wu Wei some of his guesses. Although Wu Wei did not express his position, this was an attitude in itself.
He believed that if Ling Tianhou really had any thoughts about him, he would not dare to do so openly.
In addition, Shen Qian also made other preparations, at least he felt that they were enough to cope with all accidents.
In addition to the time spent on the mission, after thinking about it, Shen Qian re-logged into the Hall of Hundred Kings and obtained a lot of Origin Stones by exchanging them in batches, restoring the system's energy to more than 70%.
Shen Qian also secretly collected a batch of Origin Stones on the market through the channels of Ye Shicong, a descendant of the aristocratic family, as a maneuver.
Although the "Stage of the Emperor" has not yet completely cooled down, and it may take ten days and a half depending on the progress, Shen Qian remembered the one-time 100% energy consumption, so he made some extra preparations.
Under these many methods, Shen Qian was confident that even if Duke Yanshang wanted to kill him, it would not be easy.
...Of course, Shen Qian, who had never seen Daluo Jinxian take action with all his strength, could only make a guess.
During the rest of the time, Shen Qian was trying every means to improve his body's strength.
Even though he had a deep conversation with the Emperor of Heaven, Shen Qian was still vaguely afraid in his heart that one day the system suddenly "came alive" and swallowed him whole.
So in the end, only his own strength can truly reassure him.
The only trouble is that he is at the base. If Shen Qian wants to use the Ancestral Dragon Thunder to refine his body, he has to find an excuse to sneak out first. No matter how loose the management of the patrol team is, such frequent entry and exit will still attract a lot of attention.
Fortunately, Shen Qian also held a military position, so he barely had a reason not to be suspected.
"Three bans..."
At this time, Shen Qian was sitting in Lounge No. 1 in Room 037, slowly adapting to the new power.
With his current physical strength, even if he loses all his vitality and mental power, he can easily defeat a warrior in the early stage of Shanhai who has not broken through the taboo.
At this point, it has initially escaped the shackles of carbon-based organisms, and at least ordinary artillery fire can no longer pose the slightest threat.
Of course, sniper rifles like "Shooting the Sun" can still cause some damage if they hit.
"It is said that with the inheritance of the King of Spirits and the 'contemplation method', it is not difficult to break through the three taboos with mental power. I have vaguely felt the line. The most troublesome thing is Yuanli..."
Shen Qian looked at his own situation and thought helplessly.
To put it bluntly, the taboo process of Yuanli is to let quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes again and again through constant compression, but the further you go, the more difficult this process becomes.
After all, Yuanli is essentially a powerful energy with extremely high purity. It can be compressed once or twice with gritted teeth, compressed nine times...it makes my scalp numb just thinking about it.
Shen Qian used his rudimentary mathematical knowledge and made a rough model with the help of top student Ding Yi. When he didn't eat, drink or do other things, with the current progress, he wanted to be successful in three fields. They have all reached the "nine prohibitions", plus the time it takes to break through the realm...
It takes about two hundred and thirty-seven years.
Yes, more than two hundred years!
When he saw this result, Shen Qian himself was shocked.
You must know that the total time for his three physical restraints, the second spiritual restraint, and the second spiritual restraint is only more than half a year, and it will take such a long time to reach perfection in the future.
Perhaps in the eyes of a normal prince, two hundred years was nothing, but to Shen Qian it was still an exaggeration.
Even if it only took two hundred years to reach this state, everyone would be willing to try...
According to a research report by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, no matter how slowly the "doors" open, it will take at most three years before all the "doors" that have been discovered on the earth will be opened.
In other words, assuming there really is an end of the world, Shen Qian only has three years left.
"It's really incomprehensible..."
Shen Qian rubbed his forehead.
Fortunately, he has recently come up with some ideas on how to quickly improve in the future, through but not limited to asking his senior brother for advice, reading ancient books, and communicating with princes. He just needs to practice and find out.
drop!
At this time, the signal light hanging in the upper right corner of the room flashed at an neither fast nor slow frequency, emitting an orange light.
Shen Qian's eyes narrowed, and then he clicked on the electronic screen beside the bed. After seeing the information clearly, he grabbed the combat uniform on one side and put it on, stood up and left the room.
In the corridor, Li Muyi, Bai Fei, Dao Jiu and others were already waiting here.
"What happened?"
"This seems to be the third orange alert..."
Everyone's expressions were a little solemn.
All alarms inside the fortress are divided by color. Above orange, there are only red and black alarms that are basically possible for collective destruction. The past two orange alarms were related to the out-of-control A-level "door" in the mountain city.
"All the captains have been summoned to gather in the combat hall. I don't know what happened. Venus, go with me. The others are ready and on standby."
Shen Qian shook his head.
Normally, a patrol team should have two deputy captains. In addition to Dao Jiu, Shen Qian thought about it and asked Li Muyi to serve as the other deputy captain.
Although Zheng Guangxi is more powerful, Shen Qian naturally trusts Li Muyi more, and Zheng Guangxi has no objection to this.
After Li Mu nodded, he directly followed Shen Qian's footsteps. The two of them left Room 037 and rushed towards the operations hall.
On the road, I met captains of other patrol teams from time to time, and many of them smiled and said hello to Shen Qian.
After the Qu Feng incident, although there are still many people who are resistant to Shen Qian for various reasons, there are also a lot of people who try to make friends with Shen Qian... Once it involves "B" level or above tasks, coordinated operations are the most important thing It happens all the time, and Shen Qian's strength is enough to make some people put aside their prejudices for better cooperation in the future.
"You still seem to prefer to call me 'Venus' rather than my real name."
On the way, Li Mu said casually.
"Maybe it's the legacy of that mission together in the world of spirit witches." Shen Qian also answered casually.
"Really?" Li Muyi's green gem-like eyes moved, and he said pointedly, "When I went to the Hall of Hundred Kings that day, I suddenly remembered that I have been using this ID in the martial arts discussion forum... "
"I see... I'm not very familiar with the martial arts discussion forum."
After Shen Qian reacted, he laughed dryly, but was shocked in his heart. He subconsciously glanced at the other party's voluptuous figure wrapped in a tight-fitting combat uniform, and quickly looked away before Li Muyi noticed anything strange.
Li Muyi fell silent, but Shen Qian felt a little guilty for no reason. Could it be that spending time together during this period of time made the other person feel something?
Shen Qian, who couldn't find any reason to support it, could only attribute it to a woman's unreasonable sixth sense.
While Shen Qian was counting the days in silence, the two finally arrived at the combat hall, and Shen Qian breathed a sigh of relief.
This was Shen Qian's first time attending a plenary meeting of the patrol team leader. After entering the hall, he quickly saw several unexpectedly familiar figures, and the presence of one of them made Shen Qian frown even more.
"Why is he here too?"
