The Path to Sainthood from Fairy Tail

Chapter 188: City of Hope, Jie Li's Strangeness

The two used Li Xuan as the coordinates and teleported to the location of their competition.

Li Xuan had just returned to the woods when he was busy in the field hospital when he suddenly froze.

Gao Neng, who was helping out nearby, asked with concern, "What's wrong? Is the energy consumption too high?"

He wiped the sweat off his face and said nonchalantly, "No, I was just a little distracted. Let's continue."

As he spoke, golden light emerged from Li Xuan's hand again.

……

In the woods, Xie Yu took a deep breath of the forest air. "It really is a familiar smell."

"What does Big Brother say? What do we do now?"

"You should just call me by my name. It's okay over there, but here, I feel uncomfortable when you call me Big Brother."

Xie Yu agreed, "Okay, Li Xuan. What should we do now?"

"Right now, my clone is at the field hospital, treating the wounded and saving the dying. I can't be on the battlefield again. So, we need to conceal our identities for the rest of our activities."

Xie Li nodded. "Indeed, although I've been away for a long time, I can't easily reveal myself. So what are you going to do?"

"Let's go out for a walk. How about that? Do you have any props to conceal your own aura?"

"Okay, you lead the way."

Jie Li took out a black cloak, which grew larger and larger until it covered his entire body. In the blink of an eye, the cloak was on him.

After putting on the cloak, his aura almost disappeared, and Li Xuan could only feel that there was an ordinary person of low realm in front of him.

Seeing that Jiezhi had completed his disguise, he also took out the optical camouflage mask and put it on his face.

"What kind of face should I change to this time?"

Li Xuan was in hesitation.

The reason why he chose to disguise himself as Jie Li was because he was not in this world, and he did not have any particularly complicated interpersonal relationships before he left, so generally no one would know him.

However, he never expected that one of Jie Li's old friends would be able to break through the layers of shackles and become a participant in the Universe Academy Competition, and happened to meet him.

Jie Li looked at Li Xuan speechlessly.

Now Li Xuan has not chosen the person to disguise himself as. There are no facial features on the mask, only a big "?".

“Got it!”

Li Xuan's eyes lit up and he thought of someone who was absolutely fine.

The mask on his face suddenly became distorted, and soon a common face appeared.

This face did not belong to anyone he knew, but was a combination of many features of ordinary people, resulting in a face that people would forget after just one look.

"Okay? Where are we going?"

"Well..." Li Xuan thought for a moment, "Let's go to the back and take a look first."

"Although we are closer to the battlefield, it is after all the territory of the three major forces. If strangers like us suddenly appear on the battlefield, we will most likely be treated as enemies."

"By the way, do you have any extra cloaks? I can conceal my aura on my own, but it takes a lot of energy to keep it open all the time."

"can."

Jie Li nodded, then took out a cloak of the same style and handed it to Li Xuan.

The two of them traveled through the forest and arrived at the city closest to the battlefield.

The gloomy sky and low air pressure seemed to suppress the vitality of the entire city to the lowest level.

Facing the battlefield, the bumpy ground and the dilapidated positions all showed the cruelty of the previous battle scene.

Jie Yu just watched the scene here quietly, his eyes calm and he didn't care.

Before the emergence of the three major forces, this was the front line against the Zerg, and various fortifications and the planet's troops were placed here.

The Zerg left a large area of land for the locals to survive.

However, the planets in the border star field do not have high-end combat capabilities. Even though they know that the Zerg are keeping them in captivity, they have no other options but to struggle on.

Just when they could no longer see the future, three major forces descended from the sky and pushed the battle line back hundreds of kilometers.

The Zerg were brutally beaten by the sudden arrival of the human army. They had no time to react and were beaten back step by step.

It was not until recently that they responded by sending powerful Zerg to the battlefield, which stabilized the out-of-control situation.

Although the three major forces cleared out the powerful Zerg in the surrounding area, there were still some weaker Zerg left, and some monsters controlled by the Zerg were also left behind.

These insects and monsters are generally not at level five, and the locals are fully capable of handling them.

The city in front of them was naturally preserved, and many armies and individual extraordinary people stayed here to clean up the remaining Zerg and monsters.

As an incentive, the three major forces have also set up a special reward mechanism to provide redemption rewards for warriors who kill Zerg and monsters.

After the two entered the city, they collected this information after just walking a short distance.

There were many people wearing black robes, so it was not surprising that the two of them blended in with the crowd.

The two of them walked slowly on the street.

Suddenly, a burst of rapid alarms rang out throughout the city. People on the street began to run skillfully, and the shops nearby closed their doors. In the blink of an eye, only the two of them were left on the street, unaware of the situation.

"Is this, a Zerg attack?" Li Xuan couldn't help but ask as he looked at the empty streets.

Jie Li stared straight ahead without moving, and did not respond to Li Xuan's words.

Li Xuan, who was standing by, felt strange and looked in the direction of his eyes. He found that it was a group of soldiers who were running quickly out of the city.

Soon, they were on the front line. A leading soldier shouted, "You are from there. Don't you know the rules of Hope City? Leave quickly! The Zerg are coming!"

They didn't stop, but ran straight past the two of them and headed forward.

At this time, a shop next to Li Xuan and the others opened its doors, and an old man tremblingly said to them, "You are from outside, right? Come in quickly. The army will deal with the insects outside. You are vulnerable to insect attacks outside. Come in and hide first. You will be fine when the army returns."

Seeing this, Li Xuan also prepared to go in and take a look. He pulled Jie Li and said, "Let's go. What's wrong with you? Did you see someone you know?"

Jie Xu followed Li Xuan into the old man's shop.

As the gate closed, Li Xuan half-jokingly said, "Uncle, you should know the current situation. The whole city is under strict lockdown. What if we are bad guys?"

The old man came to the counter and was busy with his own business: "What can you two young men do? Robbery or murder? I have lived enough. Killing me will not do you any good."

If you look closely, you can see that the old man is unpacking a pre-made snack.

This kind of pre-made video is very popular in the universe. From remote planets to main stars, you can see the shadow of this kind of pre-made dishes.

Although social welfare is already very good, there are still many people who are not satisfied with the status quo and want to strive to obtain a higher social status. In the process of struggle, they will undoubtedly continue to compress their time and reduce the time for eating.

This was actually also influenced by the social environment before entering the interstellar era.

So Li Xuan was not surprised by the old man's actions.

Jie Xu had remained silent since he saw something, and the same was true after he entered the store. He randomly found a sofa and sat down.

"How long has the shop been here?"

"It's been over fifty years. I've been here since the founding of the City of Hope. I've watched generation after generation of young men sacrifice themselves on the battlefield against the Zerg, and I could only watch from here. Fortunately, the Federation recently sent troops here, and I'll have the chance to see a peaceful world in my lifetime. It's worth my life."

As the old man spoke, a smile became apparent and his hands moved more briskly.

Soon, he took two side dishes and placed them on the table of Li Xuan and Jie Lu.

"You guys eat first. The remaining Zerg and demon beasts are not strong enough. I believe the army can quickly deal with them."

After saying this, the old man returned to his rocking chair and lay down lazily.

Li Xuan looked at Jie Li opposite him, and then glanced at the old man inconspicuously.

Although he was a rookie, it was impossible for him to expose their information so blatantly.

Whether it scared the old man or the old man knew about it and leaked it out, it was not what he wanted to see.

After thinking for a while, Li Xuan took out a universal communicator and handed it to Jie Li: "Take this communicator first. A lot of things have happened in the universe in the past few years. You can take a look.

Li Xuan put the communicator on the table, but Jie Li did not take it away.
