The Prodigal Son of the Mystical Sect

"Captain, let's change the target."

After a moment of silence, Chu Tianxiao immediately pointed to another place on the map and said, "Also, the subsequent series of targets must all be taken again!"

After these words fell, even though Yu Huai had admired Chu Tianxiao for some time, he was surprised and said, "Replace all the remaining targets?"

You know, during the war, the teams at the top of the alliance compete fiercely. The confident teams often compete for "tasks". As for the teams on the list, they will directly take a series of tasks before leaving the headquarters, and will not return to the headquarters until all of them are completed.

The more elite the team is, the longer they will stay on the battlefield, instead of haggling over every penny and running back and forth between exchanges.

The Tianji team is no exception.

Before they set off, they put in a lot of effort to take a lot of tasks that looked "full of benefits". If they replaced them all at once, it would be equivalent to negating all the efforts they made some time ago...

It will be difficult to grab a lucrative job next time.

For a moment, the two team members who were responsible for competing for the "mission" frowned and said, "Brother Lin Kong, why is this?"

"...It's hard to explain, but if I'm not mistaken, this should be a kind of location induction." Chu Tianxiao pondered for a moment and said this. Hearing this, even Lu Meir was a little confused, not to mention the others in the team.

"Inducement?"

Yu Huai showed a confused look and shook his head, "Brother Lin Kong, what are you talking about?"

"..." Hearing this, Chu Tianxiao thought for a while, and finally shook his head, "Captain, don't ask, anyway... you should have taken some spare secondary tasks, right? We'd better do those."

"Well, but in that case, the military merits we can get this time will be reduced by more than half..." Chu Tianxiao shook his head and interrupted a team member, "Next, Jing'er and I can give up our military merits, and the previous military merits can also be used to make up for your losses..."

For Chu Baijia, who has a lot of money, the things that can be exchanged for military merits are really not taken seriously by him. If it weren't for avoiding exposure, he could even spend money to buy the entire wartime alliance, so why would he care about the military merits he gained during this period?

What he really cares about is the news of the Liu clan's imperial palace, as well as the tempering and cultivation on the battlefield...

This matter is the same for Lu Meir.

So Chu Tianxiao said it lightly, and Lu Meir also looked indifferent.

But this was not the case for the other team members. They only felt that the brother and sister in front of them were shrouded in a mysterious aura, and Chu Tianxiao was even more upright...

"How can it be like this!" Just as Chu Tianxiao finished speaking, Yu Huai shook his head and interrupted, "I believe in Brother Lin Kong. Since you think the original goal is not appropriate, then change it. As for the transfer of military merits... Don't mention it again! We are all in the same team, how can we treat you unfairly!"

The other team members also nodded in agreement.

"Your contribution these days is obvious to all. If you don't get military merits, none of us can rest assured."

"...Thank you." Hearing this, Chu Tianxiao nodded slightly. He was not a hypocritical person, so he stopped insisting.

"Then it's settled. Tomorrow we will go to Wuhe Creek and take down the newly built demon stronghold there! This time the opponent will be a level weaker, but we can't slack off. Be careful on the battlefield!"

"Yes!" All the team members agreed, except Chu Tianxiao, who turned to look at the bright moon outside after responding, with a hint of uneasiness in his heart...

"Will this trick... work?"

...

...

"This trick, it doesn't work."

The moon was in the sky, and the black-clothed teenager Zhou Lin stood on the treetop. In front of him was a mirror. The scene in the mirror was where Chu Tianxiao and the others were currently!

Their previous conversation and calculations fell into his ears word for word.

"Haha...want to use this method to escape from the stage I set for you?"

Zhou Lin sneered.

"It's a good idea, but it's too naive."

"Of course, you can't blame me for being weak. I can only say that I'm too strong."

"You don't know, do you? I've already mastered the backup mission that you think is 'safe'. No... I should say that every node of the entire web is in my memory. Even if your insight is several times stronger, how can you escape?"

At this point, Zhou Lin raised his right hand, put away the mirror, and a cruel smile like "cat and mouse" appeared at the corner of his mouth...

"Don't worry, Chu Tianxiao."

"I have enough time to play this game with you... I will torture you slowly, watch you step into the abyss, watch you go to despair... I will make you understand that in this world, only I, Zhou Lin, am worthy of Mei'er!"

"Hehehe!——"

...

...

A few days later.

"...something is getting more and more wrong."

These days, Chu Tianxiao and his team have traveled and fought, successfully taking down several small demon strongholds, and have gained a lot. However, during this period, the "target destroyed" incidents have not been "extinct", but have become "more serious", and the frequency of occurrence has even exceeded that of before...

At first, some people thought it was just "mistaken robbery", but such things happened one after another until now, even the slowest tank man in the team reacted...

They were definitely being targeted.

That night, everyone rested around the fire, and everyone looked unhappy.

"Damn it, which team did it? The turtle grandson who hides his head and shows his tail doesn't come out to fight with real swords and guns!"

This curse did not interrupt Chu Tianxiao's thoughts. As time passed, he became certain that it could not be the work of a small team from the Wartime Alliance.

Moreover... there is definitely more than one opponent taking action...

"...A calculus genius like Liu Ling, who can figure out my actions step by step? No...no, looking at the current situation, it's more like the other party has seen through it before I even made a move..."

Chu Tianxiao looked at the dancing flames in front of him, thoughtfully: "It seems... even those backup plans are not 'safe'..."

"For today's plan, maybe... we should abandon the backup plan immediately and rush back to the headquarters? No... I'm afraid even that would be expected by the other party. Moreover, I'm afraid it's too late to return now..."

Chu Tianxiao pondered.

"I haven't felt this way for a long time... It's like my opponent has mastered the unknown, and I'm in the dark with no way to stay..."

Just as Chu Tianxiao was thinking about it, suddenly, there was a loud noise not far away. Immediately, the fire flickered and went out in an instant, and the whole ground shook violently!

"What's going on?"
