I'm just an assistant, I don't save people

Chapter 316 Reserved

Zhang Jinglie raised his foot, and the blood-stained shoe was about to fall into the water.

"There are monsters in the water."

Zhang Jinglie ignored Lin Yan's reminder and walked into the water. The blood on the soles of his feet disappeared inexplicably, and his shoes were clean in just a few seconds.

Lin Yan’s first reaction was why this river looked so much like a washing machine.

Zhang Jinglie walked back to the shore and said, "The water here is not drinkable. Let's go upstream and take a look."

"Is there a problem with the water?"

"You just came from the Water Forest. Haven't you seen the water of the River of Forgetfulness?"

Lin Yan blinked and looked at the Stone Spirit Monster, then covered his mouth with his hand and asked softly, "Is it the water from the Forgotten River? It doesn't look like it to me..."

The Stone Spirit Demon folded his arms, looked at her, and replied, "I can't smell it either, but there's not even a small fish there. It's either the water of the Forgotten River or dead water."

"Yes." Lin Yan realized it belatedly.

After walking for half an hour, Zhang Jinglie finally stopped.

The river twists and turns, and deep pits have been created in the nearby woods by You Mingli's skills. The smoke is endless, and the monsters dare not approach.

The water surface reflects the nearby scene, with shimmering waves and lush aquatic plants along the shore.

As the two approached, several gray-green fish beasts with sharp teeth emerged.

In the deep water, a large water snake was moving slowly and was about to surface.

These tiny movements were easily captured by Lin Yan.

Zhang Jinglie threw a spiritual weapon to the stone spirit monster and said, "Let it go down to fetch water."

Obviously he saw it too.

The one-meter-tall stone child looked at Lin Yan in confusion.

Is this reasonable?

You two adults who are taller than me are here, and it’s not like you can’t defeat the fish beast.

Lin Yan asked, "You don't dare to go?"

"No, since His Majesty the Demon King has already seen me, why should I be afraid of a few fish beasts?" The Stone Spirit Demon shook the spiritual weapon in his hand, closing one eye to look at the structure inside. "How much do you want to put in it?"

Zhang Jinglie tiptoed, as light as a swallow, and jumped onto the flying leaf. "When I say stop, come back."

The Stone Spirit Monster flew down and found a place with few fish and beasts to fetch water.

A fearless fish beast rushed out of the water to bite it, but its teeth broke instantly.

"Eating stones, are you crazy with hunger?"

The fish beast hadn't reacted yet and was flattened by a punch from the stone spirit monster the next second.

"No matter how weak I am, I am still a spirit monster with hundreds of thousands of transformations. With only a few thousand years of cultivation, you still want to eat me to increase your realm without even transforming. Go to hell."

A powerful pressure came down,

The other fish and beasts were frightened, and the water snake monster realized that it had offended the big monster and begged for mercy.

It saw a high-level talisman on the child and thought it was a human.

I didn’t expect that they were both monsters.

The Stone Spirit Monster tore off the secret talisman that Lin Yan had pasted on it, and asked, "Want this?"

The water snake demon shook his head desperately, how could he dare to covet your things.

The Stone Spirit Monster gave it some water casually, and the Water Snake Monster was overjoyed and grateful. He immediately drove away the fish and beasts and let the monster take as much water as it wanted.

On the flying leaf, Lin Yan didn't understand Zhang Jinglie's operation and asked in confusion: "Why do you do this?"

"Don't use your flying skill that much. In the Glazed Forest, don't run if you can walk, don't fly if you can run, and don't use teleport if you can fly. Besides, it's more fun when monsters fight monsters."

Lin Yan nodded.

After a while, Zhang Jinglie shouted to stop.

The Stone Spirit Monster flew back with the spiritual weapon, "A lot of small fish and river shrimps ran in."

Zhang Jinglue said calmly, "It's just right for a snack."

The Stone Spirit Monster suddenly said to Lin Yan, "I'm going to hide in your storage container for a while. The monster in the river said that the monster soldiers are coming."

"It's about time."

Zhang Jinglie seemed to have expected this a long time ago, but unfortunately, even if he knew it, it would be of no use.

There are only so few people left in the Shuizhou River camp, so why do we need to set up surveillance? There is absolutely no need to waste time on such things.

Return to camp.

Zhang Jinglie cooked a pot of food, which smelled very tempting.

Thanks to Pei Yunqi's efforts, the demon poison was cured for everyone.

At this moment, everyone gathered around the fire, staring at the pot.

Lin Yan sat quietly next to You Mingli and did not mention a word about his conversation with Zhang Jinglie today. At this time, the two of them were like strangers, with no intersection at all.

A message came from the resonance bracelet. Lin Yan opened the holographic screen and scanned the content, then looked at Zhang Jinglue.

Duan Kang and Su Jinghao also received the news.

If You Mingli's resonance bracelet is not broken, he can also receive the latest notifications from Tianluo City.

This notice is for junior students outside the South Gate.

Except for a few special students, all junior students completed their tasks and went to Yuanshi Town, 40 kilometers away from the city gate, and returned to the city through the teleportation array.

The teleportation array has been opened. It is valid for arrivals within 24 hours. No waiting after the time limit.

Duan Kang and Su Jinghao discussed the route. The transportation mission was completed. Now staying in the Liguang Forest would be like forcing things to grow. If they didn't go back, they might lose their lives here.

"Let's take this road," Pei Yunqi threw a blueprint to the two of them.

Su Jinghao unfolded the map and asked doubtfully, "Senior, this road is..."

Mo Yu nodded and said, "We've been here before, and I can't guarantee it's 100% safe, but we were able to handle the monsters along the route back then. You five can do it."

The junior students at the Shuizhouhe camp include Lin Yan, Zhang Jinglie, Duan Kang, Su Jinghao, and You Mingli.

Duan Kang and Su Jinghao looked at each other, then looked at Mo Yu with a wry smile and said, "Senior, it's just the two of us."

"What?" Mo Yu was slightly stunned.

Even Lu Li couldn't help but wonder, "Where are they?"

Su Jinghao reached out and opened the resonance bracelet screen to show them, "All auxiliary personnel must go to the front line. Lin Yan is on the reserved list. Zhang Jinglue is a pharmacist with experience in treating demon poisons. You Mingli is reserved for the camp's combat power."

Lu Li said with a sigh, "We didn't have this kind of treatment back then."

Xiao He patted his head and said seriously, "Early tomorrow morning, the Ling Jue Jing experts dispatched by the Sixth Division will arrive at the Shuizhou River camp. Lu Li will stay, and Pei Yunqi Moyu and the rest of you will follow Su Jinghao and Duan Kang."

Pei Yunqi stood up and asked, "Why?"

Xiao He said, "To preserve strength for the subsequent restoration of the transportation routes, the death of any one of Duan Kang, Su Jinghao, Lin Yan, or Zhang Jinglue, or even their complete annihilation in the Liguang Forest, would not be a greater loss than the death of you and Mo Yu. Don't forget why Tianluo City trained you this generation."

Pei Yunqi's eyes moved slightly, and he sat down with his head down in thought for a moment.

Lin Yan folded his arms and listened to them talking.

Xiao He continued, "I will stay here to help the new person in charge rebuild the camp. I'll have one last meal here. Tomorrow, those who need to go back will go back, and those who need to go wherever they need to go will go wherever they need to go."

Several people nodded.

Xiao He pulled Lu Li away and said, "Come with me on patrol, don't be lazy, boy."

"dinner time."

Zhang Jinglue brought a bowl over and handed it to Lin Yan. "Going to the front line is a great opportunity to gain influence. Your plan of taking advantage of the situation will probably be in vain."

"No." Lin Yan picked up the bowl and took a sip of soup, saying lightly, "When there are more people, there are more monsters, and it's easier to take advantage of the situation. By the way, let me ask you something. Xiaohe just mentioned training Pei Yunqi's class. What was that for?"

Zhang Jinglue slowly said, "Nine years ago, Mo Bufan from Nanling Senior College proposed a new method for transporting supplies in the Liguang Forest. It used small teams on a single route. This method was very effective, which is why humanity has expanded so rapidly in recent years."

"But to roam freely in the Liguang Forest, one must understand the forest's ecological patterns. That's why Pei Yunqi's class began training outside the South Gate in their first year."

"When it was first proposed, there were ten people per team, and then it was gradually reduced to seven. The ultimate goal of this method is to achieve single-person transportation. Therefore, Pei Yunqi, Mo Yu, Lu Li, and many other students from this class who are familiar with the Liguang Forest are very important. After all, they have been trained for eight years. In fact, to put it bluntly, you are no more useful in the Liguang Forest than they are."
