I was almost eaten at the beginning, luckily I was able to transfer the negative status

"Is this so..."

After listening to the responses from Luo Jiu and the other two.

Zhou Heng nodded slightly, but the doubts in his heart still remained.

Logically speaking, the Qingliang Army provides so many resources to the soldiers every day, they should not allow the soldiers to seek death. Wouldn't that be a waste of previous investment?

But now Luo Jiu and his companions said that the military camp was too lazy to care whether these soldiers were seeking death or not. There seemed to be a big problem hidden in this.

Of course, Zhou Heng did not continue to ask Luo Jiu and the others about these doubts.

After all, the three of them, like him, are just new recruits in the Qingliang Army. It is impossible for them to know some of the secrets of the army.

"Okay, let's not talk about that anymore. The rain outside is about to stop, so you should take some time to rest."

Having said that, Zhou Heng ignored Luo Jiu and the other two, turned around and walked back to the fire to sit quietly.

See this.

Luo Jiu and the others didn't dare to say anything more, but they didn't go to rest immediately. Instead, they took out the cloth bags they carried with them and collected the fox spirit and the bodies of Jiang Yan and Liu Shiqing.

It was obvious that they were planning to take these bodies back to the military camp to report, otherwise they would not be able to explain why two people died on this trip.

However, in this case, Zhou Heng's strength, which is far superior to everyone else's, will inevitably be exposed to the top brass of the military camp.

About this question.

Zhou Heng didn't care, because he had planned to hand over the monster's inner elixir after returning to the camp to gain military merit, and then exchange it for meat essence.

If he said that he had picked up the inner elixir of a newborn monster with a diameter of nine centimeters on the road by luck, no one would believe him.

Therefore, once he hands over the inner elixir, his strength problem will be exposed to the public.

However, he also had a way to barely explain it. After all, the fact that he selected special martial arts from the military camp's treasury could definitely be found out as long as the Qingliang Army's top brass were willing to investigate.

At that time, if the military camp asked him why he had such strength after just a few days in the camp, he could simply say that this strength was obtained through special martial arts.

In this way, no matter how suspicious the Qingliang Army’s top brass are, they cannot guess the real reason.

……

Before I knew it, nearly half an hour had passed.

A bright fire was still burning in the desolate temple.

The wind and rain outside the temple had gradually subsided, but there were still some thin dark clouds in the sky, preventing the sky from brightening again.

See this situation.

Luo Jiu and the other two immediately approached Zhou Heng and asked, "Master Zhou, should we set off?"

Zhou Heng stood up and walked outside the temple, looking up at the sky for a long time, then nodded slightly:

"Let's go, if we can't return to the barracks today, I'm afraid something bad will happen to us.

Bring a torch and walk together. Judging from the weather, it won’t rain any time soon, but it’s unlikely to clear up either.”

"Yes."

After receiving the accurate answer, Luo Jiu and the other two responded in unison without any objection. Then, they wrapped a cloth strip around the top of a wooden stick to make a simple torch.

Then, they held torches, took Jiang Yan, Liu Shiqing, and the fox spirit's corpse, left the deserted temple, and walked down the mountain.

……

The road was muddy and difficult to walk on after the heavy rain, and we had to keep the simple torches from being blown out by the cold wind.

Therefore, Zhou Heng and his group walked very carefully, and their pace inevitably slowed down.

Fortunately, although the sky did not clear up along the way, it did not rain again, and they did not encounter any trouble.

therefore.

At three quarters past noon, they successfully returned to the Qingliang Army camp.

After returning to the military camp, Zhou Heng and his men found Captain Xing, the centurion who had given them the arrangements for this operation, and briefly recounted their experiences on this trip to him.

original.

Zhou Heng thought they would be severely tortured by Captain Xing.

After all, two people died in this operation.

However, what he never expected was.

After listening to their brief account, Centurion Xing nodded and said he understood. He also said that they had encountered too many dangers on this trip, so he rewarded them with ten days of rest and vacation.

During these ten days, they no longer have to go through daily work arrangements and can go wherever they want as long as they stay in the barracks.

Until I returned to my dormitory and locked the door.

Zhou Heng still felt a little unbelievable.

The internal management of the Qingliang Army was terribly lax. Even the death of a person was simply brushed aside with a few words, without any intention of investigating further.

Sitting on the bed in silence for a long time.

finally……

"Never mind, my main goal in coming here is to obtain extraordinary skills.

No matter what problems the military has, and what plans they are hiding in secret.

As long as I seize the time to practice and become strong enough, all problems will be solved!"

Mind this.

Zhou Heng no longer wasted time worrying, and immediately got up and went out again.

He had to go to the logistics department to hand in the inner elixir of the monster to obtain military merit, and then exchange all the military merit for meat essence.

……

It was the same as what Luo Jiu and his companions had described in the deserted temple.

Zhou Heng's process of obtaining military merit and exchanging meat essence at the Logistics Department went extremely smoothly.

The logistics staff did not hinder him at all because he was just a new recruit.

A total of nine hundred meat essences were packed into a huge box for him to take back.

Until Zhou Heng completely left the logistics department.

The idle staff in the logistics department couldn't help but start chatting:

"Does anyone here recognize that guy? Judging from his rank token, he's probably just a new recruit. He actually traded nine points of military merit for nine hundred meat essences in one go. That's too generous!"

"Who knows? Nine hundred meat essences! I don't know how long he plans to use them up. If he keeps practicing without knowing his own limitations, I'm afraid his body will be collected in two days."

"That shouldn't be the case. Anyone who can obtain military merit by producing a nine-centimeter-diameter demon inner core shouldn't be a fool, no matter how you look at it. If his inner core was given to him by someone else, then the person who gave it to him definitely wouldn't let him do something stupid."

"True. However, a new recruit can earn 9 points of military merit all by himself. It's really enviable. The military merits earned by others are shared equally among the team. I really don't know what kind of background that kid has."

"Alas, what's the point of envy? We still need to practice hard. The promotion path for our garrison is already the clearest in the Daqing officialdom. As long as we work hard to improve our realm, complete tasks and accumulate enough military merits, one day, we will have the opportunity to become the background of future generations."

"Old Wang is right. Everyone, stop daydreaming and get back to work. Finish as soon as possible so you can go back and practice."
