Gacha pull: I obtained a god-level talent.

The knight continued, "Lieutenant Colonel Zhang Yuan, I can be your front-line soldier and assist you in carrying out your mission."

Zhang Yuan shook his head, took out a return scroll and handed it to the knight, "Don't worry, it's too dangerous here. This is a return scroll, you can go back together. You've had a hard time on this mission."

The knight's eyes reddened when he saw the return scroll Zhang Yuan handed him. He looked at Zhang Yuan gratefully and said in a trembling voice, "Thank you."

"Let's go quickly, it's dangerous here."

"Yes."

Without further hesitation, the knight used a return scroll to teleport away with his two companions.

Zhang Yuan watched the three leave, muttering to himself, "Is there an Abyss outpost in the northwest...? Maybe I can grind some stats there."

However, Zhang Yuan did not head northwest immediately, but returned to the King's Burial Ground instance.

When he came out of the dungeon, he sensed the teleportation array left by Elder Bai, but he didn't have time to check it because of the emergency.

Back at the dungeon entrance, Zhang Yuan quickly found the temporary teleportation array left by Elder Bai, along with Elder Bai's message: "Zhang Yuan, the Abyss army has launched an early attack, and the situation is critical. I must rush to provide support. After you come out, teleport directly back to Kyoto through the teleportation array. Do not linger on the Abyss battlefield!"

"The situation is not optimistic..."

After reading Elder Bai's message, Zhang Yuan destroyed the temporary teleportation array that Elder Bai had constructed.

He had already taken on a mission to scout out the stronghold for someone else, and wouldn't be able to return for a while. Moreover, this place was about to fall, and if Elder Bai's teleportation array were discovered by the abyss monsters, the consequences would be unimaginable.

He still had a return scroll given to him by Guan Xin. After completing the mission, he would use the return scroll to teleport back to the Watchtower Wall in the third position, and then return to Kyoto through the teleportation array in the city.

After making his decision, Zhang Yuan headed northwest.

Along the way, Zhang Yuan encountered many abyss monsters patrolling the battlefield, all of which he dealt with easily.

When Zhang Yuan spotted an abyss stronghold in the distance, he took the opportunity to check his Abyss King talent.

[Abyss King: All four main attributes +114.]

"To gain 114 points in four-dimensional attributes in such a short time is equivalent to leveling up twice. No wonder it's a god-level talent. With this talent, this hellish abyss battlefield is a treasure trove for me to quickly improve my combat power."

A hint of excitement flashed in Zhang Yuan's eyes. At this moment, he looked at the Abyss Outpost in front of him as if he were looking at a pile of attribute points.

Let's hunt to our hearts' content today!

Guarding the Great Wall.

After the knight squad rescued by Zhang Yuan was teleported back, the healer immediately led the archers to treat them, while the knights reported their mission status at the first opportunity.

"You said that a member of the Qianlong Detachment named Zhang Yuan saved you and took on your mission?"

When Ning Wuwei, the instructor of the Qianlong Detachment, heard that it was Zhang Yuan who had rescued the vanguard squad, he immediately found the knight and confirmed it with a serious expression.

"Yes, sir."

Seeing Ning Wuwei's serious expression, the knight's heart skipped a beat. "Sir, is there something wrong with his identity?"

“No! His identity is not a problem…” Ning Wuwei shook his head, then instructed the knight, “Go back immediately and tell your companions not to reveal a single word about Zhang Yuan!”

"Yes!"

The knight dared not linger and hurried to the city's traditional Chinese medicine clinic.

Ning Wuwei watched the knight leave, pacing back and forth. "That child is really reckless! Doesn't he know that the Abyss wants his life more than anything else right now? What if he encounters the Demon Grand Duke..."

"No, I have to go save him!"

Ning Wuwei immediately gave Wan Chang'an a brief report on the situation and then left the city to chase after Zhang Yuan.

Outside the stronghold in the Abyss Battlefield.

Zhang Yuan did not rush into the stronghold recklessly, but instead circled around it to observe the situation.

This stronghold is not large, with fewer than 500 abyssal monsters, whose average level is 30.

However, the stronghold was heavily guarded, and Zhang Yuan couldn't sneak in. He didn't know if there was a powerful abyss boss inside.
