The Military Queen-Chapter 117 - 8_2

If it weren’t for the recent incident, Lin Yi couldn’t imagine that he would have such a falling-out with his father, nor could he have achieved his current success in "Military Road."

A shining Lieutenant Colonel Rank, in reality, Lin Yi always lagged behind Lu Xun, was compensated in "Military Road." This Lieutenant Colonel Rank that Bai Tuo (Lin Yi) possesses was not obtained through adjusting ranks, but through actual combat, accumulating military merit bit by bit.

Nearly a thousand tasks, including troublesome characters like the bandit leader. Ever since Bai Tuo obtained the peculiar snake head chain in the backup Newbie Village, he used this iron chain to pierce through people’s bellies countless times.

Nearly eighteen hours a day, both sleeping and eating are resolved within "Military Road."

Neither Zero nor Little Eight knew that besides Zero, Bai Tuo also won favor with Yu’s family in the backup Newbie Village.

If Zero’s gaining favor was a stroke of luck, then Bai Tuo’s adroit flattery was a calculated victory.

He could sweet-talk Tushan Qi into doting on him and calling him "Brother Bai," make Tushan Nujiao’s heart flutter, and share jovial drinks with Yu. And the reward he received was also different from Zero. Bai Tuo’s reward was this very snake head chain.

The snake head chain itself was imbued with special significance, and combined with Bai Tuo’s increasingly powerful spiritual power, the snake head chain behaved like a real, sentient Spiritual Snake. When not in use, it obediently coiled around Bai Tuo’s arm; in combat, it responded freely—offensive like a golden snake, defensive like an airtight barrier. With a slight shift of Bai Tuo’s consciousness, it could make the most accurate attack.

At this moment, Bai Tuo’s character attributes were in no way inferior to Yijie, Physical Strength: 800. Spiritual power: 500, Special Skill One: Shock, Special Skill Two: Snake Poison, Special Skill Three: Meditation. Special Skill Four: Heaven and Earth Net.

Due to different weapons equipped, Yijie and Bai Tuo have derived different Special Skills. Special Skill Two and Special Skill Four are exclusive to Bai Tuo. The snake head’s attack might not be the most lethal, but the poison it carries can erode a person’s internal organs in just a few seconds—if the victim does not have advanced healing abilities, there is no chance of survival.

"Snake head, are you suggesting I just let this go?" Bai Tuo looked at the iron chain beside him, which now lay collapsed on his arm like a vine.

After a one-time massacre of more than a hundred bandits, this precious chain had its fill of blood and hence had become lazy.

"If we continue to slack off, I’m afraid we will fall behind Black Yama," Bai Tuo thought as he observed the Honor Wall at the military station, where more and more shells were being inlaid.

Thinking of Lu Xun’s face and his work style, Bai Tuo naturally connected Black Yama with Lu Xun. He had already caught up in military rank, and he would not slack off in completing tasks either.

In terms of the number and accumulation of military merit, Bai Tuo was already very close to Black Yama’s level. However, initially, as a member of Yanhuang, he carried out his missions under Yanhuang’s name, attributing a large part of the tasks to them.

This time, he managed to persuade his father to allow him to leave Yanhuang and act alone, only to be required by his father to deduct fifty percent of the Military Merit Points earned from each task to share with Yanhuang.

The current free soldier Bai Tuo was more like a celebrity signed to a major company, strutting around shows but still being exploited behind the scenes.

No matter how Bai Tuo tried to motivate it, the snake head chain just lazily draped on his arm, even rudely smearing the bloodstains on its body onto Bai Tuo’s sleeve.

"..." With no other choice, Bai Tuo resigned himself as the sun set and the moonlight began to appear dimly in the east. After several days of intense battles, Bai Tuo felt somewhat exhausted.

Around this time, it would usually be his time to contact Qian Qian. Perhaps he should log out and try to contact her again. Bai Tuo took another walk among the corpses, ensuring no items were missed before exiting "Military Road."

As soon as Bai Tuo’s white figure disappeared, the moon showed half of its face, casting moonlight on the path. Two people dressed in bandit army uniforms hurriedly approached.

Following Zero’s plan, she and Yijie disguised as bandits, had to be cautious and found it easier to blend in under the cover of night.

Therefore, on the way, Zero did not rush and took the opportunity to walk through the woods, casually adding more than a dozen species of information to the Investigation Manual, secretly hoping to perhaps find dinosaur grass by luck.

Yijie had tried several times to sneak a peek at the Investigation Manual she kept pulling out, only to be stopped by Zero’s warning glare. It’s just a manual, after all, he pretended not to care.

It was only when the moon was hazy that they finally arrived at the bandit camp. There were no lights, no bustling voices. The entire bandit camp looked more like a giant grave with its mouth open, greedily waiting for its prey in the dark night.

Yijie smelled the blood in the air and was about to warn Zero to be alert, only to see the petite figure beside him charging forward, cursing, "Damn it, too late. They even took all the stuff, damn it, which miser did this. I curse your computer to crash." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Yijie couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time. Rather than the pilfered items, he was more concerned with the grisly scene in the bandit camp. The one who did this was definitely a professional, with not a single survivor in sight. (To be continued.
