Chapter 466: Chapter 387 Kongqiang Ridge_2 Chapter 466: Chapter 387 Kongqiang Ridge_2 “Yu Qing looked at this outstanding junior who graduated from West Pole Academy and nodded with a smile, “The Sky Patrol Department has many experts, even if I went there, I would be at the bottom. Feiyun, if you work hard, you might have a chance to join them in the future.”
Du Feiyun was a student who graduated from the West Pole Academy a few months ago. He was at the Gold High Stage, which was quite excellent.
Yu Qing also graduated from West Pole Academy more than a decade ago. The two were considered brothers, so Yu Qing took some care of him.
Du Feiyun said, “I feel like I can learn a lot from following Captain Yu.”
Yu Qing shook his head and smiled, patted his shoulder, and said no more.
This junior was excellent, but still very young, with limited experience. What he could learn from him was merely some experience. Once he reached the Shining Star Level, he would have learned all of it.
At that time, he would undoubtedly need to go to a broader stage.
At this moment, a Shining Star Level person beside them suddenly reminded, “Captain Yu, Old Zhou and Ke Ping are back!”
Yu Qing quickly looked towards Kongqiang Ridge and saw two men retreating briskly from inside.
One of them had numerous blue and purple pustules on his exposed arms.
The other had a patch on his back that was bloody and mangled, as if it had been corroded by sulfuric acid.
Yu Qing collected himself, extinguished his cigarette, and quickly stepped forward to ask, “Old Zhou, Ke Ping, how is it?”
Old Zhou’s face was slightly somber, “Captain Yu, those Evil Card Masters are still inside. However, their Barrier Master seems to have found a way to deal with the miasma in the deep area and is setting something up. If this goes on, it won’t be long before they might really escape from Kongqiang Ridge and flee beyond the border!”
Yu Qing’s frown deepened, “They can deal with the miasma deep in Kongqiang Ridge? This is tricky.”
In the past, he had encountered fugitives or Evil Card Masters who blindly rushed into Kongqiang Ridge, trying to avoid pursuit.
But Kongqiang Ridge was not only fraught with dangers, but the depths were surrounded by the Evil Miasma Forest, Poison Mist Valley, and Black Miasma River.
The miasma there was something that not even Shining Stars or Radiant Moons could easily touch.
Every time, as long as he blocked the entrance, anyone who fled in wouldn’t survive a week.
But now, it had been nearly half a month since those inside went in.
The reason was that the other side had a Barrier Master who could set up barriers filtering the miasma and blocking their pursuit.
That was why Yu Qing requested help from the Sky Patrol Department.
Yu Qing instructed, “Old Zhou, Ke Ping, go rest and get treated first.”
“Alright!”
Although the miasma was potent, the team’s Healers were used to working in this area and were skilled at detoxification. Old Zhou and Ke Ping weren’t in any mortal danger.
“A few more days, and they might escape…” Yu Qing frowned and thought.
He had already sent out the request for help days ago. If the Sky Patrol Envoys didn’t arrive soon, he would either have to risk casualties in an all-out attack or watch them escape.
The Evil Card Masters were not weak, could set up barriers, and use miasma. Forcing an attack would likely result in heavy losses!
Yu Qing’s gaze swept over his many subordinates. It wasn’t worth sacrificing them for a few scum Evil Card Masters. But the people killed by the Evil Card Masters couldn’t die in vain either…
Yu Qing fell into deep thought.
At this moment, Yu Qing suddenly sensed something and turned abruptly to look towards the eastern sky.
A few figures appeared in the sky with a flash of light.
“They’re here?!”
Yu Qing’s eyes showed a look of joy.
Everyone around, including Du Yunfei and the treated Old Zhou and Ke Ping, also turned to look.
Several figures approached quickly from the sky, soon flying down from the air, transforming into four people dressed in black robes.
“Great Flame Sky Patrol Department, Yang Song, Tian Bulue, Su Yuan, here on orders to hunt down fleeing Evil Card Masters!”
Under everyone’s gaze, Yang Song led the way forward, speaking loudly and clearly.
“This is the Sky Patrol Department!” Many of the surrounding team members widened their eyes slightly.
Although Yang Song hadn’t showcased any strength, the powerful aura and the faintly discernible intense energy still made Du Feiyun and others secretly startled!
“Quite impressive…” Su Yuan looked around, seeing curiosity, excitement, reverence, and envy in everyone’s eyes…
For most common Star Card Masters in the Great Flame Kingdom, the Sky Patrol Department was indeed a high and mighty institution, in terms of both strength and authority.
It was also Su Yuan’s first time accompanying other Special Envoys on such a hunt. The previous two times, he didn’t have this feeling. Today felt somewhat special.
Speaking of it, compared to extraditing prisoners and escorting targets, he felt this kind of simple killing mission was more suitable for him…
However, today, his role was that of a Barrier Master. He probably wouldn’t need to take action.
Yu Qing stepped forward, “Greetings, Special Envoys. I am Yu Qing, the captain of the City Guard who sent the request for assistance.”
Yang Song asked, “What’s the current situation?”
“We have temporarily blocked them, but the latest information suggests they might have found a way to escape through the miasma.”
“Miasma?” Yang Song and others showed thoughtful expressions.
Although they knew about the poisonous miasma of Kongqiang Ridge, they weren’t familiar with the specific situation.
Yu Qing explained in detail and continued, “I will go in with you to lead the way.”
Yang Song cupped his hands and said, “Alright, then we trouble you.”
“It’s my duty.” Yu Qing replied, then asked, “When do you plan to set off?”
Yang Song didn’t hesitate, “Since these Evil Card Masters might break through the miasma and escape, we must go immediately!”
“Alright!”
Yu Qing naturally wanted to set off as soon as possible, but out of respect for the Special Envoys’ higher strength and status, he asked.
Yu Qing immediately instructed his team, “Everyone, take your positions at the exits. Don’t let anyone escape. Report any abnormal situation to me immediately!”
Everyone responded solemnly, “Yes, Captain Yu!”
Su Yuan nodded secretly, seeing that Yu Qing seemed well-respected by his subordinates, and his team had good quality.
Yang Song stepped forward and flew up, “Let’s go!”
Su Yuan and the others immediately leapt up, heading towards the depths of Kongqiang Ridge.
“Su Yuan…that name sounds so familiar…”
Du Feiyun watched the receding figures, frowning in thought, feeling he had heard that name before but couldn’t recall it.
“Feiyun, what’s wrong?” a senior Shining Star Level beside him asked.
“Ah? Brother Fan, it’s nothing.”
Du Feiyun shook his head, then returned to his post to keep watch.
