Chapter 104: Always subconsciously underestimating the abilities of young disciplesFalling from the top of a mountain is a huge change, but climbing up from a valley is also a huge change, so how can it not be a huge change? Several of these elders have been in charge of Tiangang City for many years. How was the huge Tiangang City like in previous years? Don’t they know? Even in the most stable years, there was no situation like the current one. It does sound hard to believe, but after Su Chen came to Tiangang City, the entire front line underwent tremendous changes. Compared to the Yunyang Sect, this huge change is still a positive one. They were silent for a long while before the Great Elder turned his gaze to the Fourth Elder again. “What the Fourth Elder said makes sense. We old men always subconsciously underestimate the abilities of young disciples. In fact, there are already enough things that prove Su Chen's ability. From now on, don’t bring up such views that look down on prejudice and say nonsense.” Hearing what Master Shangxuan said, the other elders also nodded. The fourth elder did not hesitate and continued speaking.
"The second news we received from Yunyang Sect was about what was happening on their front line." The front line of Yunyang Sect actually has nothing to do with everyone. But since the Fourth Elder would specifically bring it up, it must be a big deal. "According to the information we have gathered, there may be a beast tide on the front line of Yunyang Sect." As soon as the word "beast tide" came out, the expressions of the elders present instantly became serious. Having been in charge of Tiangang City for many years, they knew very well what the beast tide meant. Even some controllable beast tides usually result in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. On the outskirts of Tiangang City, the area around Maojiagu was a bustling town. A tide of beasts, all annihilated. "It has only been a few years since the last beast tide. There shouldn't be another beast tide." "The beast tide occurs every few years, it's just a rule we calculated. In the history books, there are cases where the beast tide happened again the following year." Seeing several people arguing, Master Shang Xuan stretched out his hand to stop them, signaling everyone to stop arguing. "Fourth Elder, where did this news come from? Is there any definite basis for it?" “The disciple who was assigned to Yunyang Sect was close to Zhao Li, the sect’s hall master. All the related speculations were heard from Zhao Li. According to him, the front lines of Yunyang Sect are now being harassed by monsters more and more frequently. There were often three or even four raids during the night. And in recent times, those monsters have become more and more desperate."
After the fourth elder's explanation, the faces of the other elders seemed to be even more serious than before. I don’t know most of the more than ten hall masters of Yunyang Sect. But the Great Elder had also heard of Zhao Li's name. This hall master has done a lot of research on the habits of monsters and has compiled several books. In terms of strength, she is a little lacking. But in terms of contribution, she should be greater than many elders. "How is Yunyang Sect coping now?" Master Shangxuan frowned and began to ask. Hearing this, the fourth elder shook his head. "The Yunyang Sect has not yet made any special response. Zhao Li is just speculating now and has no substantial evidence." "Then let's wait and see. Let's observe and watch. If there is a situation, discuss it immediately.” Several elders have also done some research on the beast tide. The attacks are just frequent now, which is not enough to prove that a beast tide is coming. But if the night harassment starts to turn into harassment at all times, or even small-scale raids. Then the problem will become more serious, and there is a real possibility of a beast tide. Several people walked towards the rear camp and began to patrol the rear line. If the front line is to be stable, the rear line must be improved. Therefore, during the annual front-line inspections, Master Shangxuan attaches great importance to ensuring the supply of the rear lines. After a round of inspection, there were some minor omissions, but overall he was satisfied. "After talking so much, let's go and talk to that kid Su Chen." As Master Shangxuan spoke, a smile appeared on his face. Several elders even felt a little more expectant. Especially what the Fourth Elder said just now, which made them respect Su Chen even more. This feeling is really rare among people like them. This time, the hall master was not allowed to lead the way, and the elders went forward on their own. At the front line of defense, Su Chen and everyone else were cooking some meals. It's lunch time. The classmates he brought with him also followed Su Chen and listened to his guidance.
At this moment, Su Chen was teaching them how to set up a smokeless stove. “In the wilderness, we need to be careful and vigilant about how we make fire. Most monsters do rely more on their sense of smell to detect our traces, but we cannot ignore those powerful monsters above the earth monsters. They have already gained a lot of intelligence and are emitting smoke in the wilderness. They might not even pay attention to ordinary big golden monsters. But the earth demon is likely to notice it and even come over to check it out. Therefore, in the wilderness, if you want to make a fire, you must ensure that there is no smoke." Beside him, in addition to a group of classmates, Senior Brother Wu Yi and others also gathered around, listening to Su Chen's explanation. "Junior Brother Su, how many espionage missions have you carried out in the past? Why do I feel like you know everything about what's going on in the wilderness?" "If you ask me, the elders of the sect may not even know the experience that Junior Brother Su taught me~" Lin Tian on the side also joined in the conversation and started to flatter again. As soon as he finished speaking, some heavy replies came from behind him. “Your third elder was an expert spy in Tiangang City when he was young. You really treat us old guys as useless~" Behind him, several elders came out smiling. Master Shangxuan, who was at the front, was talking as he walked, and there was no trace of blame on his face. Hearing this, everyone present was stunned for a moment, then immediately stood up and saluted. Lin Tian, who had just spoken, suddenly had his face flushed red. “Third Elder, go and demonstrate how to build this smokeless stove. Otherwise, we old folks will really be looked down upon.” Hearing this, the third elder smiled and actually went forward to tinker with the stove. Looking at the elders, everyone felt a little uneasy. Even Senior Brother Wu Yi, the team leader, was a little panicked. Several elders had already come to inspect once this morning. I didn’t expect the elder would actually come back and do it again. "Don't worry, we old guys are just here to take a look around. I don’t mean to blame you, just be casual.” Master Shang Xuan spoke to comfort them, but everyone was still a little nervous.
It's not easy to be as casual as before in front of the sect's high-level leaders. "It seems that your defense line has a lot more people than other defense lines?" Hearing Master Shangxuan's question, Wu Yi, as the team leader, hurriedly began to explain. "These junior brothers and sisters are all disciples of Mr. Ji Sheng. Junior Brother Su said that reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. I have been staying in the sect and have no interest in them. We can learn some skills by coming to the front line together." Hearing Wu Yi's words, Master Shangxuan also nodded slightly. He showed no expression on the surface, but in his heart he had more opinions about Ji Sheng. After hesitating for a moment, Master Shangxuan did not continue talking about this matter. He looked to one side and said, "Su Chen, come with me to walk outside the defense line." Thanks to the sponsors [空城轻语] and [王忧愁] for the reward, thank you~ Another issue is the rhythm. I have discussed it with the editor. Let me think about it and speed it up as much as possible. Five chapters have been published today
