Swallowed Star - Chapter 1352

Chapter 1352
Luo Feng waited on the stone roof of the house on his island .


Catastrophe-level tasks . How difficult is it going to be? Luo Feng thought . Dangerous as it seems, it's a great chance to gain lots of military credits .
Everyone depended on military points in the army . By sitting around and doing nothing, death would be one's only destiny .
Normally, when someone went out for a task, he would buy some valuables with his military points, such as valuables that could immediately recover godly bodies or true treasures and machine type valuables used for escape . However, Luo Feng didn't have any military credits, so he couldn't get any valuables .
At the same time, Luo Feng and Wu He got the arms credits from Python River Armor .
"Captain, all of us combined only have around 2,600 military credits . What can we convert them into?"
"This is the catastrophe-level task that was only met every 10,000 eras . We need to get enough of those that can save lives . "
Outside the arms palace, the 18 soldiers from the sixth squad of the first team were discussing the exchange .
"A bunch of morons . "
Six beings glanced at them in despise and entered the arms camp . The 18 soldiers were irritated .
"It's Yu Luo and the others . "
"Let them be smug . They can't be so lucky forever . "
"That's right . We'll set them a trap at some point . "
The 18 soldiers all felt annoyed .
******
A voice was transmitted to all the soldiers from the first team . "Gather!"
Luo Feng, who lay on the rooftop, also opened his eyes .
"So it begins?" Luo Feng smiled .
Sou!
He flew from the island, teleported, and proceeded toward the island of basic inheritance .
The camp of the Python River Army was enormous, and the gathering point was the island of basic inheritance .
"Milky Way . "
"Wu He . "
Luo Feng arrived on the island of basic inheritance . A strange beast was close by . Wu He flew toward him, shaking his wings . Luo Feng took a look at the island . Many soldiers had already arrived .
"Milky Way, I've asked around . " Wu He transmitted his voice . "There are 39 soldiers in total . The original 37 soldiers didn't have enough unity, so they were divided into three small teams . One is led by the team captain, and there are 18 soldiers . One of them is led by Ku Fa, and it has ten soldiers . Another is led by Yu Luo, and there are nine soldiers . "
"Oh?" Luo Feng took a look at Wu He in surprise .
No wonder Wu He was a child of the master of Northern True Ocean . It seemed that he had fully prepared himself after entering Python River Army and had learned about the internal relations . Wu He did a far better job than him .


Sou! Sou!
They flew toward the island immediately as they spoke . They landed on the island, and over 30 beings had already gathered . Luo Feng glanced around and saw that the soldiers were divided into three circles! The team captain he had seen before was in a circle . Ku Fa, who had a gentle appearance, was in another circle, while a cold, angry-looking individual was the leader of another circle .

The soldiers didn't look happy about Luo Feng and Wu He's arrival . Apparently, they were trying to warn them not to get close .

"The team captain is just," Wu He said, transmitting his voice . "Ku Fa has the best temper . As for Yu Luo, he's the one with green skin and 18 hoofs . He's very aggressive . More than half the strange beasts in our team are led by him . Normally, they would try to recruit us . However, we are facing the catastrophe-level task, and we've never cooperated with them . We haven't practiced any combined attacks technique with them . None of the squads will accept us for their own sake . "
Luo Feng nodded . It was to be expected . Those three squads had been through countless life-and-death battles together, and they cooperated with one another well . If they let in the new soldiers, it would only hinder their cohesion . No matter how kind they might be, they wouldn't be willing to do that .
"Milky Way, Wu He," said the captain coldly . "You're on your own for this catastrophe-level task . Do you understand?"
Wu He smirked and said, "Of course, we understand . "
Luo Feng nodded .
The team captain nodded . "Great . " Then he stopped talking . To him, neither of these new soldiers had enough time to practice the inheritance, and they didn't even have the military credits to buy valuables or some better inheritance . Unless they got exceedingly lucky, they were bound to die .
******
Sou! Sou! Sou!
One being after another landed within their designated circles .


"Go!" ordered the captain . "Let's go get the task for this time . "
Hong! Hong! Hong! Hong!
There were four teams: one led by the captain, one led by Ku Fa, one led by Yu Luo, and the new-soldier squad that consisted of Luo Feng and Wu He . They immediately flew out and teleported .
******
After nearly a day, all 39 soldiers arrived at an area dominated by a palace . The strange black palace was surrounded by many sculptures, and there were many great beings here .
Hong!
A light pillar shot toward the soldiers . Voices entered their heads telling them the detailed task from the military . The location was Nine Smoke Marsh! 10,000 military points, which could be gained by killing a true god . Killing a law master was worth one military point . The required proof of killing a true god was to recover its body, and the required proof of killing a law master was its plundered weapons .
As for the deadline: It had to be completed before the next task . Otherwise, there would be punishment .
******
The description was simple, yet it frightened Luo Feng and Wu He . Kill a true god or law master in Nine Smoke Marsh?
"We're in big trouble," Wu He said, clearly worried . "It's Nine Smoke Marsh . Although that territory is not as powerful as Northern True Ocean, it's a still a great power . There are many true gods and countless law masters . It would be suicide for us to go there . "
Wu He had been quite confident before receiving this task . He was powerful, and he had believed that no matter how difficult the task was, he would be able to finish it if he dedicated enough time . However, he crumbled after learning the task .
Luo Feng was nervous . 10,000 military credits! How could they do it?
He'd already seen Nine Smoke Marsh on his way here . It was a swamp surrounded by smoke and mist . While flying over it, he had spotted many true gods . To kill one true god in an era would have been possible for Luo Feng—after 800 eras of training . Of course, the true god couldn't hide in a supreme true treasure palace!
However, killing a true god in Nine Smoke Marsh would be very difficult for him . The other true gods in Nine Smoke Marsh wouldn't be foolish enough as to just let Luo Feng and the others attack without any consequence . There were 39 law masters, and a group of true gods from Nine Smoke Marsh could kill them all .
It's crazy . 10,000 military credits! Luo Feng thought . Even if I shift my target to law masters, I would need to kill 10,000 of them . They are probably well protected in Nine Smoke Marsh… It might be possible to kill ten, but killing too many would certainly alert the true gods . Once surrounded, by a large group of true gods, I wouldn't be able to make it out, even with Boat of Mausoleum .
Luo Feng was really worried . He had been encircled by many universe supreme masters in Universe Ocean, but there weren't many universe supreme masters in Universe Ocean . Besides, they had all been suppressed .
In Nine Smoke Marsh, however, there could be hundreds of true gods encircling him, and none of them had their power restrained . He might not be able to get away even in Boat of Mausoleum .
This is madness, thought Luo Feng . Fortunately, true gods of void space won't meddle in army tasks . Otherwise, I would have no hope .
Military tasks… There was a hidden agreement between the army and the tribal powers and strange beast powers . Squads who were sent to attack a particular power was clearly sent for training purposes . Luo Feng's squad didn't pose any threat to Nine Smoke Marsh, so the three true gods of void space wouldn't interfere . However, true gods could participate!
It's very difficult to succeed, but if I fail… Luo Feng thought .
According to the military rule, he would be executed!
With the authority of the army, one order could turn all the tribal powers and strange beast powers against them . They wouldn't be able to get away! If someone had 100,000 military credits, they could use them to save their lives, as merits offset faults . However, 100,000 military credits was an exorbitant sum . Even experienced soldiers didn't have that many military credits, let alone Luo Feng . If someone did have that many military credits, they would use them to improve their power .
******
The entire team stayed silent outside the strange palace . Everyone felt the pressure .
"Everyone knows the task now," the team captain said, glancing around . "There's a required location for the task, which means all the true gods and law masters we kill need to be from Nine Smoke Marsh . When we come back, the military will contact Nine Smoke Marsh to confirm our military credits . If this task wasn't in Nine Smoke Marsh, we could certainly kill a true god as individual teams, and if we kept doing that, it would only be a matter of time before we succeeded . However, this is Nine Smoke Marsh, so we could be surrounded by a large group of true gods, after which, we won't be able to get away . " The team captain looked around . "I think… We need to cooperate . "
