Ordinary people can also be extraordinary

Zhang Chen continued to use the Double Feather Flying Needle and figured out the principle of this spiritual tool. At the bottom of the hole where the golden needle was inserted on the ring, there was a device similar to Zhang Chen's spiritual energy film. After Zhang Chen input spiritual energy, it was injected into the bottom device of the golden needle. When the spiritual energy was full, the spiritual energy was detonated by the device and the golden needle was pushed out.

Zhang Chen tried the distance and found that the golden needle could only be shot fifty meters away because the silk thread connecting the golden needle was only that long.

Zhang Chen used a knife and burned the silk, but the silk was not damaged at all. Zhang Chen was very satisfied with the hardness of the silk.

After a week, Zhang Chen had mastered the Double Feather Flying Needles very well. He was also familiar with his other spells, and his Earth Explosion Technique and Water Hidden Technique had entered the second stage.

One day, Zhang Chen was practicing in his room when he heard a knock on the door. Zhang Chen was on alert, worried that Xiao Yi was here to cause trouble again.

When he arrived at the gate and saw no special reaction, he breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door. He knew that if it was Xiao Yi who came, the door would have been kicked away by him.

When he opened the door, he saw a strange face. The man handed a jade slip to Zhang Chen and said:

"This is a mission assigned by the sect. You are ordered to set off immediately and arrive within three days."

Seeing that his message had been delivered, the visitor left immediately.

Zhang Chen picked up the jade slip, input spiritual energy into it, and a line of text appeared in the air.

"A large number of Zerg have been spotted outside Wuyun City. The situation is unclear. Go and provide support immediately."

Zhang Chen frowned, thinking that he was being arranged to go to the front line. He took out the map of Daqing Kingdom and found out that Wuyun City was more than 1,500 kilometers away from here. He would have to arrive there in three days, which was obviously a good plan.

"Could it be that Xiao Yi is trying to make me fail the mission and then punish me?"

Zhang Chen couldn't help but think in this direction.

But no matter what he thought, Zhang Chen still packed up, said goodbye to Sima Feng, and set off in a hurry.

One has to walk at least 500 kilometers every day, which is less than 21 kilometers per hour. With Zhang Chen's speed, it is not a big problem, but it is also a huge burden to keep traveling without rest.

After leaving the sect, he galloped all the way for a full ten hours and finally arrived at a town. He hired a carriage at a high price and asked several people to drive the carriage to the destination during the day while he rested in the carriage. At night, he left the carriage and continued on his journey alone.

After a day's journey, he would go to the next town, hire someone to drive the carriage again, rest himself, and then continue his journey alone at night. The reason why Zhang Chen did this was because the carriage was too slow. Even if it ran non-stop throughout the day, it could only travel more than 100 kilometers.

Finally, on the evening of the third day, Zhang Chen arrived outside Wuyun City. This was a city built entirely for war. There were no other irrelevant people living in it, and none of them were military service personnel.

Wuyun City was named after the fact that it was built between Wu Mountain and Yun Mountain. Legend has it that Wu Mountain and Yun Mountain were one peak, which was divided into two mountains due to a gap created in a war thousands of years ago.

After passing Wuyun City is Shangyun Plain, which is flat and vast, so this place is equivalent to the gateway to Shangyun County. After passing Wuyun City, there is no longer any strategic location to defend and the Zerg can march straight in, so the defense of Wushan City is taken very seriously.

Because the cliffs of Wushan and Yunshan Mountains are steep, more than 2,000 meters high, stretching for more than ten kilometers, and the difference between the bottom of the mountain and the top of the mountain is not big, except for some plants growing on the top, the entire mountain wall is smooth stone, which is difficult to climb, and they have become two natural defense barriers.

Therefore, the Daqing Kingdom built a city wall at this huge gap. The wall was 150 meters high and more than ten meters wide. It connected Wushan Mountain and Yunshan Mountain. A five-meter-wide passage was also built on the top of the two mountains for garrison soldiers. There was a beacon tower every kilometer to transmit information.

On the inner side of the city wall, there are huge ramps on both sides leading directly to the upper wall for the convenience of transporting supplies. One kilometer further back is the soldiers' residence, which is densely packed with identical houses. There are also many workshops for producing weapons. Further back is the city wall of Wuyun City. This wall is not as high as the wall that defends against the Zerg at the gap. It is only three meters high and is only used to prevent outsiders from accidentally breaking in.

Zhang Chen arrived at the city gate, and the soldiers at the gate questioned him as usual:

"Who are you? Don't you know that this city is under martial law? No outsiders are allowed to enter."

Zhang Chen did not ask any questions, but directly condensed a fireball and threw it at a tree behind him. The fireball immediately burned violently after hitting the tree, and in less than a moment the tree was burned in half and fell down.

The soldier was shocked when he saw it and immediately saluted respectfully.

"So it's the Immortal Master. Is the Immortal Master from Qingyu Sect?"

After receiving Zhang Chen's affirmative answer, he immediately opened the city gate and welcomed Zhang Chen in.

But they felt strange. Didn't the Immortal Master of Qingyu Sect arrive a long time ago? They remembered the scene of the spirit ship flying into Wuyun City the day before yesterday very clearly. They didn't know why Zhang Chen came here alone on foot.

However, without thinking too much, the soldier arranged for someone to send Zhang Chen to a luxurious manor in the city. There were many houses like this nearby. After asking, he found out that many fellow disciples had come.

So Zhang Chen went to find out, only to find out that they had all arrived the day before yesterday, led by the sect's uncle-master. There were twenty people in the group, and they came together on a spirit ship. Only then did Zhang Chen realize that he was being targeted again, so he went to report to the uncle-master who was leading the team.

Unexpectedly, he was scolded by the uncle-master who led the team for retreating at the last minute and refusing to follow the arrangements, so he ordered Zhang Chen to go outside the city tonight to scout the enemy situation. When Zhang Chen learned that the uncle-master who led the team was from Zixia Peak, he suddenly understood.

"It seems that Xiao Yi is behind this again. It's been more than a year, and he's still holding a grudge against that incident."

Originally, Zhang Chen also wanted to understand the current situation clearly, so after some preparation, he set off.

Through a secret door in the city wall, Zhang Chen came to the outside of the city, close to the Zerg side. Taking advantage of the cover of night, he moved forward along the edge of the mountain. When he passed through the gap between the two mountains, the view in front of him suddenly became clear.

But it was night time now, and Zhang Chen couldn't see very far, but he could tell that there was a plain ahead. Zhang Chen didn't dare to enter such an empty area rashly.

So he used the eye-clearing technique to allow himself to see farther and more clearly. This sight scared Zhang Chen. With his blurry vision, Zhang Chen saw that the plain in front of him was densely packed with Zergs, big and small, all motionless, as if dead silent.

Zhang Chen quickly used the Water Invisibility Technique. Since he had already practiced it to the second stage, he could walk slowly, and at night, he could basically hide his body very well.

Then he slowly moved forward until he was completely out of the gap between the two mountains. He looked left and right. There were Zergs as far as the eye could see, all of them were lying dormant quietly, which was chilling. With such strict discipline, there must be a lot of Zerg Queens involved.

Zhang Chen slowly approached within five meters of a bug, and saw that the bug immediately opened its eyes and sniffed around with its nose. Zhang Chen quickly stepped back a few steps. The bug could not see Zhang Chen, and seeing the smell gradually dissipate, it slowly closed its eyes again.

After Zhang Chen knew the distance, he tried to stay at this distance and observed to both sides. There were all kinds of Zerg. The ones in the front were basically thick-skinned and tough. There were many winged Zerg in the middle. Some important parts of their bodies were protected by armor. Zhang Chen was very surprised. He didn't expect that they were not as barbaric as he imagined, and they also had intelligence.
