That night, Chu Fan had been in a deep sleep or a state of meditation. He didn't wake up when it was dawn. Everyone in the camp was very worried. Originally, they had almost caught the lotus, so they should continue to move forward according to the plan.

Just talking about moving forward, everyone immediately thought of the second-order monster that was brought back by Chu Fan. You must know that this monster was discovered by Captain Chu not far from the swamp.

Many monks are very worried, what if they move forward and encounter second-order monsters again?

This is simply courting death.

Senior Sister Chu can hold the foundation-building monster, but they can't.

Moreover, Senior Sister Chu was already injured, and the rest of the people would not be so embarrassed that they would be able to hunt and kill the foundation-building monsters by joining forces.

This made Zhang Jingyi breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, in this case, she doesn't need to find any reason to keep the team near the swamp.

But she would rather not have this reason.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the monks on the seventh floor and above to be called into Chu Fan's tent to recuperate.

Seeing that Sister Chu had woken up, but her face was still pale, Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but let out a smile.

Although she was still worried about that Senior Sister, when Senior Sister Chu woke up, she would definitely find a way.

Chu Fan didn't give a long speech, he just said,

"The month of January is approaching. I propose to end the mission and return to the sect. What do you think?"

Everyone who was called over looked at each other, and no one spoke for a while.

The so-called wasteland reclamation task that took one month is not just for a month.

After all, the forest is so big, in addition to killing the first-order monsters with particularly strong attack power, they also have to find a way to draw a map of the places they have been to.

This map is not a rough drawing of a few circles. In addition to writing some notable features, it may also involve the local environment, whether it is rich in some kind of spiritual plant, or is it a gathering place for certain monsters... Of course Now, the more comprehensive this kind of information is in the wasteland reclamation task, the higher the contribution points you will get.

Some more meticulous teams may stay for half a year.

This is not a competitive situation, like other teams have already handed in tasks, and then what they come up with is useless.

When Qing Yunzong acquired such maps and detailed information, they would not only receive one copy, but would compare several copies to obtain as complete and accurate information as possible.

Collecting a few more copies is also helpful for the sect to check for leaks.

After all, such tasks can only be handed over to the disciples, and it is impossible for the elders to make a special trip to verify the accuracy of what they got.

So hunting monsters is less time-consuming, and the trouble is collecting information.

Of course, the rewards are more abundant, and the danger is relatively less.

It's a fat job.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Chu Fan explained,

"Senior Sister Zhao died during this mission. In addition to re-selecting a new captain to move forward, their team will directly return to the sect. According to my estimation, they will most likely choose to return to the sect. Senior Brother Huang is cautious by nature. He is in the stronghold. I didn’t wait for Senior Sister Zhao, and I didn’t wait for the team I led, maybe they would come to look for it, and neither I nor Senior Brother Huang would be more inclined to end the mission.”

Everyone immediately understood what Chu Fan meant.

In fact, she didn't come to discuss with them, she just told everyone the fact.

Of course, no one in the field refused.

In the same sentence, they can understand that dangerous monsters and beasts will die in the land reclamation mission.

But if they knew that there were second-order monsters infested in front of them, these little qi-refining cultivators still rushed there without thinking, then they really had no brains and wanted to send a wave.

The people expressed their opinions,

"Senior Sister Chu, you're right. The minimum deadline for this mission is one month. We have already reached the one-day deadline, and we have already completed the mission."

"Furthermore, although the scope of our journey is not wide, we have already reached the edge of the wasteland. Maybe we will encounter the foundation-building monster at some point. It is indeed very dangerous."

The land reclamation edge area mentioned here naturally refers to the edge of the place that the real people who build the foundation have cleaned up.

Although the monster that attacked Senior Sister Chu and Senior Sister Zhao was probably just an accident, no one wanted to hit it with their heads and there would be no possibility of a second accident.

Encountering danger is a normal situation in the experience, but it is not stupid to insist on a meaningless death like hitting an egg with a stone.

So this was settled.

About the third day, the three teams gathered in the swamp, ready to go back.

It was very difficult when they came, and they didn't even have a road, so they had to drive by themselves, but it was very easy to go back, just go directly along the road they drove out.

So it stands to reason that with so many people moving together, the journey should be slower, but they don't have to collect information along the way, and they don't need to deliberately hunt down aggressive monsters. The return journey is quite fast.

It only took five days to get to the original starting point.

At this point, the tense spirit of everyone has eased a lot, and their expressions have also relaxed. The two captains who led the team took everyone to the Deacon Peak to hand in the task and got the basic reward.

It is the contribution points that can be obtained from a mission, in addition to map information, the number of hunted monsters, etc., which need to be checked later before settlement.

Everyone is used to it.

Those cultivators who were extremely tired did not bother, and said goodbye to the captain one after another. In the end, the people who remained in the same place except for the small group of Chu Fan were Senior Brother Huang and Huang Yi.

Chu Fan comforted them and said, "You all go back first, you have been tense for so many days, it's time to rest and rest, the rest is the captain's task."

Seeing Zhang Jingyi and Wang Fei standing still with worried expressions on their faces, Chu Yu also smiled,

"Senior brothers and sisters, what are you all so worried about? We have returned to the sect and are safe. Even if there is any problem later, the sky is falling and there is still a tall man on it. Go back and take a good rest, maybe the elder will also I will ask you to come over and ask questions, now go back and rest, so many people go to block Elder Mo's door with my sister, others think my sister is guilty."

So in the end, I went to find Elder Mo who had assigned the task of reclaiming the wasteland. Besides the two captains, there were also Chu Yu and Huang Yi.

That's right, the matter of this guy stealing the forbidden items has not yet passed, and he has to report it to the elders together.

Then what kind of crime will be handed over to the punishment hall to judge.

Chu Yu was one of the parties, and it was not without reason that she participated in it.

At this time, Elder Mo already knew the news of Zhao An's death, and his expression was quite ugly. Although there are death indicators in the wasteland reclamation task, several disciples died in the middle. As long as you can write a detailed report, explain the cause of death of these disciples, and confirm which of them There is no conspiracy, and the sect will not pursue too much.

But the death of a senior sister who led the team, who was still at the eighth level of Qi Refining, was no small matter.

The sect will definitely check it out.

Even if the situation is found out and it is confirmed that it was an accidental death, it will also be held accountable, but the responsibility will be light or heavy, but even so, it is not a good thing.

You must also know that there were also dead people in the land reclamation of Qianling Mountain some time ago, but the monks who did not lead the team died.

"Tell me, what happened in the process?"

Seeing that in addition to the two captains, other people came over, Elder Mo's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately realized that there was something else going on here.

Chu Fan didn't hesitate, and directly told the whole story, from the discovery of Huang Yi's stealing of banned items, to Dingyanhua, to the foundation-building monster, without any concealment.

Even Senior Sister Zhao An Zhao's last words were clearly explained.

Senior Brother Huang's eyes jumped, and he looked at Chu Fan with a shocked expression on his face. Obviously, he didn't know there was such an inside story.

Chu Fan stared at Senior Brother Huang's micro-expression at that moment and said nothing.

It was Chu Yu's request not to tell him.

"Afan, originally I believed your information and thought that the senior sister standing behind Huang Yi was Zhao An, and the person standing behind Zhao An was Qin Yue, but now after listening to her last words, I doubt that there is any more Other people's involvement."

"This person wants to provoke the conflict between Arqiong and Qin Yue, let them tear them apart, hide behind the scenes, and take advantage of the fisherman behind him."

"Why do you think so?"

Although Chu Fan asked this question, there was clarity in his eyes. It was obvious that she and Chu Yu had thought of going together.

It's just that Chu Fan felt that according to the previous practice, maybe the result was the same, but the process was different. She wanted to hear how Chu Yu thought about and judged the problem.

"It's very simple, I don't care how many intrigues and tricks are involved here, and I don't care who is who, whether there are double agents among them, I only look at one thing, and that is who is the beneficiary behind the scenes, maybe there is that It's a situation where someone has a **** of a lot of **** and lucked out to be the victor in the end, eating all the dividends."

"But I believe more that there are no coincidences in the world, only inevitability mixed with various reasons."

"Let's make an assumption, the death of a sword cultivator with the eighth level of qi refining is not a trivial matter, this person may still be Qin Yue's confidant, then her death, whether it is what Qin Yue wants to do, or someone behind the scenes thinks It is impossible to do anything in the past, it will definitely cause trouble, and it will be investigated in detail."

"Then suppose we didn't take Zhao An's body back, if the sect found out that you were fighting with her, they would definitely suspect you, suspecting that you had fought with her, and took the opportunity to kill the same sect, but Arqiong and I couldn't watch, for the sake of To prove your innocence and keep you, we will definitely get involved, what about Qin Yue?"

"Qin Yue will definitely come forward, whether forced or active, even you know that Zhao An is her person, and Zhao An, as a key figure in this incident, will definitely check everything about her clearly. The relationship with Qin Yue can't be concealed from the elders of the Criminal Law Hall, and the elders will definitely look for her and suspect her."

"Before the truth comes out, it's normal to suspect that you killed her for personal vendetta, and to suspect that she was instigated by others to frame you against you."

"I can't think of the possibility that Qin Yue can still hide behind the scenes, so the final result is probably that our three sisters and Qin Yue will face each other, but no matter who wins or loses, it's actually not good."

"The secret realm of golden scales is imminent, An An Shengsheng is the best for us."

Chu Yu didn't say that Captain Chu was still favored by Zhenjun Jindan. After all, he had a master, but those who calculated Chu Fan didn't know about this matter. No one could guess Jindan Zhenjun's mind, but he was picky. It should be, maybe because of this series of disturbances, he will have an opinion on Chu Fan, even if it turns out that the truth is not Chu Fan's fault.

But that kind of response already exists, and maybe the idea of ​​accepting her as a disciple will be broken.

"As for Qin Yue, if she wins and seeks justice for her subordinates, do you think she will be able to get a place in the Golden Scale Secret Realm?"

Chu Yu shook her head, "Impossible, Arqiong won't let her succeed, knowing that all this is behind this person's calculations, she lost her long-planned spot in the Golden Scale Mystery Realm, and she can watch the other party happily. Go in? You must bite off a piece of the other party's flesh, behind Arqiong, there is still the guarding elder."

Chu Fan agreed with her idea, "That's right, although our three sisters have only been in the sect for five years, Qin Yue grew up in the Qingyun sect. It seems that the foundation is stronger than ours, but in fact, because of the blessings of various external forces, We are already enough to fight each other to the death and the net, and two evenly matched people fight, and the final outcome is not the winner, but the loser."

Therefore, it may be missed by others.

In this wasteland reclamation mission, Brother Huang has always been a neutral character.

No one is involved.

But is he really neutral?

To arrange all this, including the three sisters and Qin Yue together, can you really let go of the whole process, not to care about anything, not even a single looking eye?

Chu Yu didn't know if someone was really so scheming and calculated so comprehensively, but even if Senior Brother Huang was just a neutral witness who was pushed out, she had to take precautions.

Because for her, all accidents must be avoided.

Previously, they were all people standing on the bright side, while those behind the scenes stood in the shadows.

But when they noticed the existence of this person, this person was gradually stepping onto the bright side, but the other party didn't know that such a big advantage could not be given up.

"Okay, I already know about what you reported. I will report it to the sect and check everything you said. During the recent period, you have all stayed in the sect, don't go out, there may be at any time. The elders are talking to you."

Elder Mo's expression is extremely serious~lightnovelpub.net~ Based on his experience, he can naturally see that the involvement here is very deep.

Chu Fan said that the other party was framed, but the problem is that now the whole sect doesn't know, even if none of the three sisters are apprentices, there are guardian elders behind them, who would dare to harm them?

The person behind this is certainly not simple.

This gave Elder Mo a headache. He was only responsible for the land reclamation and construction of the forest, and did not want to be involved in any conspiracy.

You must know that he is about to retire at this age. This is almost the last project he is in charge of. When he is ready to finish it, he will be transferred to a leisurely position.

After everyone left, Elder Mo's serious face collapsed, "If I had known this, I should have learned from that old friend, contracted a medicine garden, and lived my retirement life in peace."

"These children, why can't they be obedient to open up wasteland and hand in tasks, and give me all these messes. Forget it, I will go to the criminal court now, sooner rather than later, who knows if it is delayed, things will develop into what."
