Chapter 1521 Wonderful Person, Yun Geng Scholar

The information brought by Tongye University Scholar naturally put extra pressure on these formation masters. As expected, the formation master immediately began to urge his subordinates: "Everyone, work harder. We must complete the formation debugging as soon as possible. The masters above are watching!"

Tong Ye circled around the formation and had a basic understanding of the terrain in this area. He immediately made arrangements: "The six of you, divide into three groups, two in a group, and we will form a triangle defense. I will be in the middle, ready to provide support at any time. I will support whichever side shows movement. Remember, be alert. The enemy this time is completely different from the ones you have encountered before, so don't underestimate the enemy or rush in."

The Grand Secretary of Tongye was like a nagging old father, never getting tired of giving warnings again and again.

This time, the others did not show any impatience. They knew that this was no joke and that their lives might be in danger.

Since the enemy has made this place a key target, they will definitely send top experts here. This battle is definitely a huge test for them, and they really can't take it lightly.

Bachelor Yun Geng took the initiative to speak: "Bachelor of Hydraulic Engineering, you and I are colleagues, and we hit it off right away. Let's form a team of two."

Jiang Yue smiled and said, "I have no objection."

The other four people didn’t have any special requirements on who to team up with. They basically divided the groups based on their personalities and quickly formed groups.

The three groups of people took their positions according to the designated locations.

Bachelor Yun Geng obviously lacked a sense of security. After entering the defense zone, he had not been idle. He called over a few trusted subordinates who had not been sent out before, and arranged them to be stationed a few kilometers outside their defense zone as the first periphery cordon.

Jiang Yue was greatly surprised. Normally, someone at the level of Yun Geng Xue Shi who had risen to the top through his own abilities must have been through many battles. Yet, why did he seem so cautious and timid? He even looked like he was afraid of death.

His slightly puzzled look seemed to be caught by the scholar Yun Geng, who sighed and said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Brother Shui Gong. I guess you must think that I am a little too cautious, or even a little afraid of death."

Jiang Yue said with a good-natured tone, smiling: "Humans are not plants or trees, how can they really not be afraid of death? To be honest, I am afraid of death too."

Scholar Yun Geng smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Shui Gong, you are really different from them. These days, there are not many friendly people like you in the Underground Earth. If there were more people like you in the Underground Earth, I believe our Underground Earth would still have a future. Unfortunately, the Underground Earth is now full of those people. They are all ignorant, not necessarily very capable, and their tempers are weirder than each other. The future of the Underground Earth really depends on these people, and I am really worried."

This topic was a bit heavy and difficult to pick up. If he didn't handle it well, he might offend someone. And as a new hydraulic engineer, if he followed the topic, he might cause unnecessary trouble.

"As a genius, it's normal to have some personality traits." Jiang Yue said with a smile.

"No, the biggest problem in the Earth's core is that every ethnic group, every force, even the grassroots, are too free and easy, and too particular about individuality. These personalities have not made them capable, but have made them irritable. In recent years, the top leaders of the Earth's core have obviously realized this problem. Haven't you noticed that in recent years, words like unity and cooperation, which were not very popular in the past, have appeared very frequently?"

"Now that you mention it, it seems so."

"The key lies here. Unity and cooperation means that everyone should be on the same page and on the same channel as much as possible. Personality and temper are precisely the biggest obstacles to unity and cooperation. Just look at the other people in your team and you will know. It may be a bit exaggerated to say that everyone is difficult to get along with, but many people obviously have excessive personalities, which makes it impossible to break the ice with each other and it is difficult to get close to each other. This, to a certain extent, makes unity and cooperation empty talk."

It's true that Yun Geng's words made sense. They also hit the key point.

But does it have anything to do with your cowardice? You are quite good at changing the subject.

When Scholar Yun Geng saw that Jiang Yue did not respond, he knew that it was inconvenient for him, a newcomer, to discuss these topics, so he said, "Brother Shui Gong, you and I are both scholars of Taiyi Academy, and we will be in the same boat from now on. Brother, let me have a few words of sincerity."

"Well, please give me some advice, Brother Yun Geng."

"I don't deserve your advice, but there is one thing you must remember. You only have one life, no matter how great the temptation or how big the promise, you must put your life first. This is what my gray-haired old mother once again admonished me before I set out on this trip."

"A mother worries about her son even when he is far away. But Brother Yun Geng is lucky to have his mother still around." Jiang Yue only said the good things.

Scholar Yun Geng smiled bitterly and said, "You are always so talkative, and you don't seem like someone from our inner world. There are so few people like you."

"Am I a blessed person? I used to have thirteen brothers. Do you know how many sons my mother has left now?"

"Hmm?" Jiang Yue felt that the topic suddenly became a bit heavy.

"There are thirteen of us brothers, and three of us are still alive. Of these three, I am the only one who still has all my limbs intact and is full of energy. I have two older brothers, one of whom has been in a coma for seven or eight years, and the other has lost both legs and can only walk with a cane. This means that I will be the only one left to see my old mother to her grave. If something happens to me, my old mother gave birth to thirteen sons, and I am afraid there will be no one to see her to her grave."

A person gave birth to thirteen sons. If it were on the surface, this would be considered a reproductive tool. After all, if one son was born every year, it would take thirteen years.

In reality, it is impossible to have such strong fertility, one child per year for thirteen years, it is almost impossible for ordinary people to do it, they do not have such a strong physical foundation. Almost everyone is either pregnant or on the way to pregnancy.

But in the inner world, fertility is obviously stronger than on the surface, so having thirteen children is not unusual. But having thirteen sons and only having one child left is indeed a tragedy.

It seems that Master Yun Geng really can't afford to die. Jiang Yue suddenly felt the same way as to why he was so cautious.

Anyone in this situation would be cautious and live more seriously than anyone else.

"Brother Yun Geng, if anything really happens, let me take the lead." Jiang Yue said sincerely.

Scholar Yun Geng shook his head and said, "No, if we really fight, I will never fall behind anyone. In actual combat, whoever is afraid of death will die first. I just try my best not to make mistakes when we are not in combat. This does not mean that I will be half-hearted, uncooperative, and abandon my teammates in combat."

Jiang Yue nodded slowly and patted his shoulder, indicating that he understood his situation.

"Okay, I was just being too polite, brother Shuigong, please forgive me."

"No, no, I can feel Brother Yun Geng's sincerity. You and I are colleagues in Taiyi Academy, and we will need to take care of each other in the future."

"Yes, that's the truth." Scholar Yun Geng's mood also improved, and he lowered his voice a little, "Since Brother Shuigong regards me as a friend, I might as well say a few more words. If I'm wrong, Brother Shuigong will just treat it as my fart."

"Brother Yun Geng, don't be modest. You are very experienced, so please give me your guidance."

"Okay, then I'll take advantage of my seniority to say a few words. From what I've observed, the enemy this time is not well-intentioned. I'm afraid that Grand Elder Yin Qiao and Grand Scholar Tong Ye haven't paid enough attention to them."

"Grand Elder Yin Qiao is personally taking the field. This should be very important, right?"

"Haha, if you really take this very seriously, you should have called for help. If there is no external support in this game, I'm very worried."

Even Jiang Yue couldn't help but admire the judgement of this Yun Geng scholar. His fighting ability might not be the best, but his judgment of the current situation, this sharp judgment, is definitely unique. He is even calmer than the Supreme Elder Yin Qiao.

As expected, he is a man who lives for his old mother. His desire to survive and sense of crisis are absolutely perfect.

Jiang Yue said: "Perhaps, Grand Elder Yin Qiao also has his considerations. He needs to keep this operation secret? So he is not convenient to call for reinforcements?"

"Haha, I thought of what you thought of, too. But I think Lord Yin Qiao did it for the sake of face. As the ancestor of the Baoshu tribe, he personally led the team. If he called for help at this time, it would be a huge blow to his personal authority."

Ah, you are really brave, come to this, I really can’t continue this topic.

I have that green leaf on me, maybe it's the Supreme Elder Yin Qiao who is monitoring us. You can say whatever you want, but I can't answer it.

If I follow your tone and say that Supreme Elder Yin Qiao is too proud to call for reinforcements, I'm afraid the old man will be so angry that he will come to my door on the spot, right?
Scholar Yun Geng knew what Jiang Yue was afraid of, so he didn't set a trap for him. He advised: "In short, when it's time to take action, we should not hesitate, but when it's time to escape, we can't be stupid and hold on. Once things are hopeless, we must get out in time. As long as there is a green mountain, there is no fear of running out of firewood."

Jiang Yue was really happy.

This Yun Geng scholar is absolutely a wonderful person. Others would impart all kinds of experience to you, or preach to you at length, but he, on the other hand, would repeatedly advise you on how to save your life and how to keep yourself alive.

As the two were talking, an early warning signal came from one corner of the triangle defense. The two team members who were ambushing in that area had obviously encountered a problem and sent out a warning signal.

Scholar Yun Geng was moved and murmured, "Damn it, this enemy is really omnipresent. Whatever we worry about, they will come. How did they detect that there is a teleportation formation here? The location of the teleportation formation is so secret, and our defense is so spread out, there is no reason for them to discover the teleportation formation."

"There is a teleportation formation in this place. Maybe it's not a secret after all?" Jiang Yue reminded him.

"Anyway, I've traveled a lot, and I really didn't know there was a teleportation array here. I guess even many people in the Baoshu tribe don't know about it."

"But these bandits are all adventurers. They will go wherever there is a hidden corner. It's not surprising that they know there is a teleportation formation here."

Scholar Yun Geng nodded: "Perhaps you have a point, but for now, we have to be careful. The enemy will definitely not attack from only one direction."

Just after the warning signal was sent out over there, deafening shouts of killing were heard from the main defense zone where the escorting army was stationed, which was also the entrance area of ​​the valley.

Judging from the sound of the war drums, there must be a team of more than 3,000 people rushing down from both sides of the valley. You can clearly hear the sound of the charge like a tide, which startles the birds around the valley and scatters them. The beasts in the forest are wailing and fleeing in all directions.

Even the sky above the valley began to darken, and it seemed as if flags were covering the clouds and the sounds of killing were like thunder.

Scholar Yun Geng's face turned extremely ugly, and he muttered, "What the hell is going on? How come there are so many bandits? This is not right. It is common for adventurer teams to become bandits. Teams of a few hundred people are common, and teams of over a thousand are definitely rare. Teams of thousands of people are even rarer. How dare such a team brazenly parade through the territory of the Baoshu Clan?"

Has the control of the three great palaces and the ten golden tribes over the inner world declined to this extent? With such a large group of bandits passing through, following the team led by the Supreme Elder Yin Qiao, no one came out to control it?

The world inside the earth is about to undergo a drastic change.

"Brother Yun Geng, what should we do?"

Scholar Yun Geng calmed himself down and said, "We should act according to circumstances. If something is impossible, we should not force it. Life is more important than anything else. Without the teleportation array, the team can still take the normal route, but it will take a longer route and delay the team for a few more days."

Seeing that Jiang Yue was still hesitant, Scholar Yun Geng said, "Trust my judgment. If the other directions cannot be blocked, even if we fight with ten lives, we still cannot change the overall situation. As a person, you must never go against the general trend. If the general trend cannot be changed, it will be useless even if you risk your life. It is better to stay useful and strive for the next opportunity to turn the situation around."

What a wonderful person, he has so many twisted theories and he can even justify them.

"Alas, Brother Yun Geng is indeed a wonderful person. In this case, Brother Yun Geng, just do as you wish and leave your useful body. I will not kill you. You can do whatever you want."

Scholar Yun Geng was stunned and thought he had misheard.

Jiang Yue said calmly: "You heard me right. Since Brother Yun Geng has a reason to live, I can help you. It depends on what you do."

"you……"

"That's right. I was the one who lured the attackers here. I was also the one who revealed all the inside information to the outside world. So, Brother Yun Geng, you are lucky to be in the same group with me. Everyone else will die, but you, I am willing to leave a way out for you."

"Aren't you afraid that I'll go out alive and tell on you?"

"Don't be afraid. When I tapped your shoulder just now, I had already planted a soul-killing talisman in your body. I only need to think about it and you will be torn to pieces."

"By the way, three or four years ago, I also planted a life-threatening talisman in the body of the Tongye Grand Secretary."
