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

Chapter 914 Personnel Arrangement: Meeting on a Narrow Road

As night fell, everyone sat around the campfire, the firelight illuminating their tired faces.

After a while, Chen Xiaojun took out a large piece of paper and gently spread it out in front of everyone.

His eyes became extremely focused. "Okay, since the situation along the way is unclear, we don't know whether we will encounter a large number of wolf bandits or powerful soul beasts. Now, let me arrange our formation."

He first looked at Chen Bin and Chen Shurui: "Seventh and Eighth, you two are the ones with quick attacks, be responsible for reconnaissance and raids."

Upon hearing this, Chen Bin and Chen Shurui immediately nodded.

Then, Chen Xiaojun's eyes fell on Zhu Wuneng: "Next is Wuneng. We don't have a dedicated defensive spirit master in our team, so you need to take on the role of the main force and withstand the enemy's attack."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Wuneng straightened his chest and said, "Leave it to me."

Dugu Fu added: "Pig~ General, with a sword in hand and a rake in hand, of course he should take the lead!"

Zhu Wuneng glared at him.

Before Dugu Fu could respond, Chen Xiaojun spoke up: "Ah Fu, don't interrupt. You are responsible for assisting Wu Neng."

Zhu Wuneng chuckled, "You really are my little follower."

Dugu Fu: "You..."

"Next, Wencai, you will connect the front and midfield to ensure the team's continuity." Chen Xiaojun continued to arrange.

Then, his eyes fell on Gao Cuilan: "Cuilan, you take Haonan, Xiaoduan, and Tiantian as the midfield control, responsible for dispatching and supporting; Xiaolai, you come to assist them and connect with Ningxia and Youli in the back."

When Gao Cuilan heard this, a hint of surprise flashed across her face, but it was immediately replaced by determination.

"Ningxia, your attacks are more long-range, so you and Yuli will be responsible for fire support in the back." Chen Xiaojun continued, "Laowu, you will be responsible for covering the rear and ensuring the safety of the team."

Finally, he pointed at himself and said, "I will be in the center, ready to support in all directions at any time."

"Ma Liang, you are responsible for air cover. Use your flying ability to observe the enemy at all times."

"Although individual wolf bandits are not very strong, they are cunning and good at teamwork. Once their numbers reach a certain scale, their threat cannot be underestimated."

After arranging the formation, Chen Xiaojun spoke again: "Just in case, we need to decide the order of command now."

"The first one is me, and the second one is Lao Wu. However, we don't know if we will encounter high-level wolf bandits or soul beasts. At that time, Lao Wu and I may have to take over."

“So, the third pick is very important.”

His eyes swept over everyone present, and finally stopped at her: "Cui Lan, you will be the third commander!"

Gao Cuilan was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then waved her hands in panic and said, "Ah? Me? No, no, no, I'm only a level 36 Soul Master, my cultivation is almost at the bottom, how can this be possible?"

Thanks to the Chen family's medicinal materials market and professional auction house in recent years, it has become much easier for the Chang'an forces to collect good things. In addition, Gao Cuilan is naturally talented, otherwise it would be impossible for her to reach level 13 at the age of 36.

After all, Chen Yanwu was only level 14 when she was 33 years old.

Chen Xiaojun smiled and shook his head: "Cui Lan, you are a control-type soul master, command is a compulsory course for you."

"Besides, you are a thoughtful person with a good sense of the overall situation. I believe you can do a good job."

"We are a merger of two teams. Most of the original team are attack-oriented, and you are the only orthodox control-oriented soul master. Haonan and his team prefer control, and you are the perfect person to lead them. You are the most suitable person for this important task, and you must take it up."

Zhu Wuneng also encouraged her, "Cui Lan, you'll be fine. We, the offensive guys, have to lead the charge, and we need someone as smart and calm as you to lead the charge."

Dugu Fu also echoed, "Yes, Cuilan. I am a poison master, so you are not as suitable as me to command."

Su Ningxia patted Gao Cuilan's hand and said comfortingly, "Young Master said you can do it, so you can do it! Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Gao Cuilan was so nervous that she trembled a little, but looking at the trusting eyes of everyone, she took a deep breath and nodded: "Then I'll try."

Chen Xiaojun shook his head: "It's not about trying, but it will definitely work."

Gao Cuilan hesitated a little: "But what about my experience?"

Chen Xiaojun smiled calmly and said, "Command has nothing to do with personal cultivation. You are also a young genius. You were also the best in your class and served as a leader. How come you are so unfamiliar with it now?"

Gao Cuilan heard this, although she knew that Chen Xiaojun was trying to provoke her, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes: "I understand, I will do it well!"

Chen Xiaojun nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh places are Ningxia, Wuneng, Dugufu and Ma Liang respectively."

After he finished speaking, he looked at everyone with a gentle gaze, as if to instill confidence and courage in everyone: "Remember, no matter what difficulties we encounter, we must remain calm and protect ourselves. Only in this way can we better protect others."

"Next, let's plan the marching route..."

Chen Xiaojun said softly: "Okay, that's all the information. Have a good rest and we will set off tomorrow morning."

Everyone obeyed the order and dispersed.

………………

Zhu Wuneng patted Dugu Fu beside him carelessly and said with a smile: "Ah Fu, I remembered that you didn't find any soul bones today. There were quite a few death spiders just now."

Dugu Fu glanced at him, shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "Do you think it's the black evil bee swarm we encountered before? There were tens of thousands of them."

"How can the number of these death spiders compare to that?"

When Zhu Wuneng heard this, he immediately perked up and said, shaking his head, "It's just a dirty trick. What excuses are there?"

"The Queen Bee dropped soul bones, but it was my luck that brought me here. You can't compare to that."

Gao Duan's eyes widened when he heard this, and he exclaimed, "Wow, Brother Wuneng, Brother Fu, you really have encountered a swarm of black evil bees? Isn't that one of the legendary soul beast disasters?"

Zhu Wuneng was even more proud when he heard this, and continued to brag, "It depends on who it is. A few days ago, we were surrounded by tens of thousands of black evil bees. That was really exciting!"

"In this critical moment, I put on the golden armor, circled the divine fire, and entered the swarm of bees. I killed my way in and out seven times. It was a tragic scene with mountains of corpses and seas of blood!"

There was a hint of pride in his words, as if that experience was a great honor in his life.

Dugu Fu, who was listening, shook his head and couldn't help but complain: "Haha, why did I remember that you were just standing inside the young master's shield, acting as a turret? The swarm of bees didn't even touch the corner of your clothes."

When Zhu Wuneng heard this, he immediately became unhappy and muttered, "Those with dirty hands, stay away."

At this time, Ji Tiantian couldn't help but ask: "Sixth brother, did you really encounter a swarm of black evil bees?"

Chen Xiaojun smiled slightly, met the gaze of Ji Tiantian and the others, and said softly: "Well, we did encounter a swarm of black evil bees."

"really?"

"How many tens of thousands?"

When Yan Xiaolai and the others heard this, they were immediately shocked and exclaimed in surprise.

Chen Xiaojun nodded slightly, his tone still calm: "We just got away with it by luck."

Zhu Wuneng couldn't help but interrupt him when he heard this: "What? Master, don't be so modest. You killed the queen bee! It was in front of all of us, with one strike!"

Gao Duan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked, "Killed the queen bee? Did the queen bee also drop soul bones?"

Chen Xiaojun nodded gently and explained: "The black evil bee swarm is quite special. The swarm itself will not drop soul bones, and the queen bee directly controls the entire swarm. When the number of swarms reaches tens of thousands, the queen bee will definitely drop soul bones."

Dugu Fu suddenly understood what was going on and said with a smile, "No wonder the young master wanted to fly with his sword to kill it. It turned out that he wanted to steal the queen bee's body."

Ji Tiantian said with starry eyes, "Sixth brother, you know so much. This Black Evil Bee Queen will definitely drop soul bones. We have never heard of this."

Chen Xiaojun shook his head and said, "I just read more books."

"Of course, the queen bee from other bee colonies may not drop, but the chance is much higher than that of ordinary soul beasts."

"In fact, it's not just bee colonies. This kind of collectively controlled group has similar situations, such as the queen ant."

Ji Tiantian raised her nose, smoothed her hair, opened her cherry lips, and said in a tender voice: "Then Sixth Brother, can you tell us more about soul beasts?"

Afterwards, Chen Xiaojun taught them a lot of knowledge.

"Okay, let's stop here for tonight. It's almost midnight, so go to bed early."

…………

Looking at Ji Tiantian's gradually receding back, Chen Xiaojun slowly raised his hand and gently wiped it. In an instant, black and white and colorful eyes intertwined, as if he could see through the essence of all things in the world - this is his unique "Yin Yang Five Elements Eyes".

His eyes were fixed on Ji Tiantian, and he stared at her without blinking for several seconds.

Chen Mu, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but frown when he saw this, with a strange look on his face.

He poked Chen Xiaojun's arm and said in a low voice, "Hey, something's wrong with you! You seem to be paying too much attention to Ji Tiantian."

"This is the first time I've seen someone call you Sixth Brother. It must be because of Ji Tiantian. You can't let Xiaoyi down!"

Chen Xiaojun smiled slightly when he heard this, but there was some deep meaning hidden in that smile, "What are you thinking, am I that kind of person? It's just... this Ji Tiantian, there's something unusual about her."

He then put his arms around his neck, pulled him to a more secluded place aside, and lowered his voice so that only the two of them could hear.

Chen Mu's face suddenly changed when he heard this. He turned his head suddenly, with a light of disbelief flashing in his eyes: "No, you are not seeing things, are you?"

Chen Xiaojun nodded, his expression solemn: "I have just verified it again, it is correct."

"So, when you go back, use the power of the Sword Shadow Hall to investigate."

Chen Mu was puzzled and said, "Why don't you just give the order directly?"

Chen Xiaojun glanced at him and said, "Can this matter be investigated publicly? It's better to use your personal connections."

Chen Mu heard this and nodded, indicating that he understood: "Okay, I'll try. However, if I investigate this matter, there will always be some clues left, and it may be discovered by someone with ulterior motives."

Chen Xiaojun was silent for a moment after hearing this, then nodded gently: "Well, I understand."

………………

According to the planned route, their first stop was Cuiying Valley.

While crossing the Cuiying Valley, Chen Xiaojun led a dozen people and went deep into the valley along the winding path.

The gurgling stream and the lush trees on both sides provided a natural cover for their progress, making the entire valley full of mystery and tranquility.

However, this tranquility did not last long.

When the team reached a relatively open area.

Suddenly, a burst of hurried and heavy footsteps broke the silence around.

Chen Xiaojun's heart tightened, and he quickly signaled the team members to stop and hide in the nearby bushes. He saw a group of wolf bandits approaching rapidly along the other side of the valley.

At this time, Chen Shurui flashed several times and quietly came to Chen Xiaojun's side.

Chen Shurui reported softly, "Sixth Brother, we found a group of 100 wolf bandits ahead. They are searching and advancing. The valleys on both sides of the Cuiying Valley are high and deep, and there is only one path in the middle that is passable. We can't avoid it."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaojun frowned slightly, then relaxed his brows and asked, "How strong are they?"

Chen Shurui responded quickly: "Among them, there are one or two wolf bandit leaders, thirty or forty wolf bandit elites, and the rest are ordinary wolf bandits."

Let me explain here that Wolf Thieves are divided into ordinary Wolf Thieves from Soul Master to Great Soul Master, Wolf Thief Elite from Soul Master to Soul Sect, Wolf Thief Chieftain from Soul King to Soul Emperor, Wolf Thief Leader at Soul Sage level, and Wolf Thief Lord (Wolf Thief King) at Soul Douluo level.

Mainly look at the color of the hair, from gray to blue to black, from light to dark.

After hearing this, Chen Xiaojun smiled faintly and said heroically, "Then let's fight. The brave will win when two meet on a narrow road! We Chang'an students are not afraid of a fight!"

In the morning light of Cuiying Valley, a skirmish quietly began.

At Chen Xiaojun's command, the team members quickly dispersed according to the established formation and entered combat status.

Chen Bin and Chen Shurui, as the vanguard, were like two flashes of lightning and launched an attack in an instant.

Chen Bin's "third soul skill - Dark Night Sword Shadow" showed its power at this moment.

He instantly created several sword shadows, which shuttled back and forth between the wolf thieves like ghosts. Each sword shadow could attack independently and could flexibly change the direction of attack according to Chen Bin's will, which was very suitable for this kind of group battle.

Wherever the sword shadow passed, the wolf bandits fell to the ground wailing, and blood splattered everywhere.

Chen Shurui then displayed his "third soul skill - Dawn Sword Dance".

He wielded the Seven Killing Sword in his hand quickly. The sword light was as warm and sharp as the morning light, instantly illuminating the surrounding darkness.

The Seven Kill Sword was as fast as lightning. Every time the sword was swung, there was a sound of breaking through the air. In the flash of the sword light, one wolf thief after another was killed by the sword.

His swordsmanship was both elegant and brutal, and every attack was extremely precise, leaving the wolf thieves on the opposite side with nowhere to escape.

However, the half-wolf, half-human wolf thieves were also quick to react, demonstrating their powerful counterattack capabilities.

Just as Chen Bin and Chen Shurui were like two sharp swords, moving freely among the wolf bandits and knocking down enemies wherever they went, suddenly, several wolf bandit elites with more agile bodies, thicker hair and shining green light suddenly jumped out from the wolf bandit group.

Their eyes flashed with cunning, their bodies were agile, and they possessed both speed and strength. They were obviously the elite among these wolf thieves.

They almost simultaneously used their innate skill [Wolf Shadow Assault], and their bodies instantly turned into a series of afterimages.

Their sharp claws flashed coldly in the morning light, and they pounced towards Chen Bin and Chen Shurui at astonishing speed.

Faced with this sudden attack, Chen Bin reacted extremely quickly.

His figure flashed, and he immediately used the small sword step [Square Inch Shaking Lotus]. At the critical moment, his body was like a fallen leaf in the wind, easily avoiding the attack of the Wolf Bandit Elite. He took the opportunity to counterattack, and killed one of the Wolf Bandit Elite with one sword.

Chen Shurui, on the other hand, relied on the [Swift Flying Duck] technique to advance in the attacks of the Wolf Bandits' elites like a fish in water.

His figure moved left and right, front and back, making it difficult for the wolf thieves to catch him.

At the same time, he suddenly swung the Seven Kill Sword, and the sword light was like lightning, splitting a wolf thief elite into two, and blood spurted out.

The two's fighting skills and the savagery of the wolf thieves elite collided with each other, sparks flying.
