Chapter 227: Post-War

it."Yunfeng picked up the book and pressed it against his brow.The familiar scene appeared once more, this time he focused all his attention on the dark shadow.After going through the reflection once,..."Did we hold on"

Have we won yet

"Oh... we won."

Those on the front lines, whether soldiers or volunteers who have come to support them, must feel incredible right now.

They didn't know why the formidable monster army, which had been advancing so well, had all retreated like a tide. But the current situation could only explain one thing: this battle was over, and they were the victors.

Shortly after the monsters retreated from Xicheng Gate, the monsters attacking other areas also withdrew one after another.

Through the live broadcast, all of Pinghai Prefecture and even the entire Huaguo nation were immersed in cheers.

What happened

With the disappearance of those eyes, Yun Feng also woke up from his struggle.

In that instant, he was as if drawn into a deep well. The water within was pitch black, yet viscous like blood, and held an oppressive power of confinement.

Yun Feng felt something pulling at his feet, dragging him deeper and deeper inside.

First, it was the feet, then the thighs, and then it slowly spread to the torso, arms, and finally engulfed the neck, heading towards the head.

No matter how Yunfeng struggled, it was useless, and he only dug himself deeper into trouble.

Soon, the mouth was covered, and the nose was blocked, making it impossible to breathe.

When Yunfeng felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, unable to bear it, the feeling suddenly disappeared.

Opening his eyes, he saw the massive corpse of the Nine Nether Dragon lying not far away. Di Xing was staring at the corpse, lost in thought.

All the attacking monsters roared past them, but they seemed oblivious to their presence.

"Commander Shi, what just happened"

I don't know either, suddenly the Nine Nether Dragon died and the monster army attacking the city retreated.

Then, as if remembering something, he put the entire corpse of the Nine Nether Dragon in front of him into his storage ring.

I have something urgent to attend to, so I'll be going now.

After finishing his words, he didn't wait for Yun Feng to consider and vanished into a beam of light.

"Am I just doing unpaid labor I got nothing out of this"

I originally wanted to kill the Nine Nether Dragon. Even if I couldn't plunder its talent, at least I could get a lot of spiritual power. Now, I have nothing.

"But this time, it's also a lesson learned."

Remembering this experience, Yunfeng was still a little afraid, and even almost died.

Although I've had my share of hardships along the way, nothing compares to this in terms of danger.

Before, when facing danger, it was always within controllable limits.

After the transcendence, my combat power increased dramatically. To be honest, it made me a little arrogant and I lacked some awe.

After the war, Yunfeng continuously summarized his experiences from this battle.

Boom...

As Yunfeng was deep in thought, a deafening sound of stomping footsteps came from behind.

Turning back, six gigantic golden monsters trailed behind the retreating horde.

Upon the shoulder of one of the monsters sat a delicate figure.

"How did you get here"

As the spirit approached, Yun Feng's wind wings shuddered and he shot into the sky, landing beside Wen Ren.

"I told you this place was dangerous, how did you get so deep in here"

Wen Ren looked up and down Yun Feng, discovering that although he was covered in bloodstains, he didn't seem injured. He let out a breath of relief.

"It's good that you didn't get hurt..."

I miss you.

Without waiting for Wen Ren to finish speaking, Yun Feng pulled Wen Ren into his arms and held him tightly.

Wen Ren was stunned by Yun Feng's sudden action.

Since she recovered her female identity, the two have been a little ambiguous in their interactions.

But Yunfeng always maintained proper decorum, never overstepping boundaries. Even when he reached out to hold hands, it was an unconscious gesture.

I didn't expect this, you were actually quite proactive this time.

Of course, Wen wouldn't push away at this time.

A person quietly reached out their hands without a sound, gently clasping Yun Feng's back from behind and lightly caressing it.

She knew that Yunfeng's sudden action must have been caused by something. At this moment, she didn't need to speak or ask, she only hoped that the current tranquility could soothe the unrest in Yunfeng's heart.

"You just didn't make a joke of me, did you"

After a while, Yun Feng stood up straight. Looking at the people, his eyes were dodging.

He himself hadn't expected that he would act so impulsively just now.

"Are you alright"

Wen Ren lightly shook his head.

"It's alright, look, isn't everything fine The monster army has retreated too."

"Let's go back, today is a day to celebrate."

Yun Feng grabbed Wen Ren's hand and surged into the sky, heading towards the safe zone. A whirlwind also appeared beneath Wen Ren's feet, dragging her body along.

Although Yun Feng spoke lightly, Wen Ren knew he must have gone through something unusual.

Back in the safety zone, all you could hear were cheers of joy.

This monster siege is the most severe and deadliest one since the establishment of the safe zone.

"See the Commander-in-Chief!"

After collecting the monster's corpse, Di Xing immediately returned to the main headquarters to report the situation.

"Di, you're back. "

At that time, there was a disturbance at the West City Gate. After Di Xing rushed to the scene, someone had already reported it.

Thank you for your concern, I am honored to fulfill it!

Di Xing performed a military salute and replied.

"I got intel, this time the monsters' main attack point is at the west city gate district. Hard work ahead."

"Repelling monsters and protecting the safe zone is my duty, how can I talk about hardship."

Di Xing finished speaking, and then proceeded to recount his experiences from the battle.

First, it emphasized the monster's power, and then expressed its determination to fight it to the death.

This battle was incredibly perilous, but luckily we managed to defeat the epic Nine Nether Dragons.

Throughout the entire process, there was hardly any mention of Yunfeng.

All the credit goes to him.

"Yunfeng, don't blame me. This is the only way I can obtain the legendary artifact and enter that mysterious realm."

After finishing his words, Di Xing silently said to himself.

"After I enter the holy land, I will find a way to repay you for your help this time."

At last, Di Xing added one more sentence in her heart.

"Haha, very good. This time you've done great service. The military will not forget your contributions."

The Commander-in-Chief was very happy after hearing this.

"It's within my duty, I wouldn't dare to take credit for it."

Although he said so, the slight upward curve of his lips betrayed him more than AK could.

"General, I wanted to ask about those last two eyes..."

"Those things are none of your concern, you don't need to know about them, just do your own job."

Before Di Xing could finish his question, the General cut him off.

There are some things he doesn't even know about.

"General, the corpse of the Jiuyu Minglong is in my storage space. How should I handle it"

"Take them to the armory. The research institute will need some specimens later."

"By the way, the battle is over, but our mission is not yet finished."

The general seemed to have remembered something, and then said,

"This time the monster siege, there are still many follow-ups. The site cleanup and spoils distribution must be fair and just; many casualties, we must not chill the hearts of the soldiers, rewarding merits and deeds must be done properly; new recruits also need to be prepared."

Yes, sir, I will definitely carry out your orders.g skill. For some unknown reason, a series of unfortunate events led to it using the wrong skill by accident.That's how things went, and his life was taken.With both his defenses halved and layered wi...
