Volume 3: The World's Strongest Chapter 56: Enter

In the far suburbs of Shanshui City, there is a rarely visited intersection in the mountains.

A roadblock was set up here and guarded by soldiers.

Qi Ji, wearing a mask, got out of the car with Qin Zijin. The online car-hailing driver poked his head out and reminded them, "You two young people, be careful. This place has been blocked by the higher-ups. Besides, there's nothing fun in this deep forest. Just take a look and go back as soon as possible!"

After saying that, he glanced at the two-meter-long bag on Qi Ji's back, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

Qi Ji nodded to the driver: "Thank you for the reminder, Master. We came here just to take a look out of curiosity."

The online car-hailing vehicle left.

Qi Ji looked at Qin Zijin, who glared at him, his earlobes slightly red: "Bad guy, you don't sleep well."

This is the Nth time this girl has condemned Qi Ji today.

Qi Ji chuckled: "You obviously came to me on your own, and I didn't do anything to you, right? This is called starting from emotion but ending with courtesy..."

Qin Zijin was so angry that she hit him with her hand. Except for the last level, he almost took advantage of her. He still had the nerve to say something like "stop at propriety".

I have seen the lust, but where should I stop?

shameless!

The two men played around for a bit and then walked towards the roadblock not far away.

It was already September and the weather was no longer so hot. It was starting to get a little cooler. The temperature was even more suitable as they were deep in the mountains and forests.

So even though they wore a layer of cool insect silk clothing that was common to both worlds under the lining, they did not feel stuffy.

When the guards saw someone coming, they immediately trotted over to greet him.

"Military restricted area ahead, no entry for unauthorized persons! Please show your identification!"

Qi Ji glanced at Qin Zijin, who smiled back at him. He stepped forward and said, "Hello, I'm Qin Zijin, and the gentleman next to me is Qi Ji, who has been summoned."

Qi Ji also cooperated and took off his mask.

Qi Ji? The most courageous man in Daxia who swept across the Sakura Kendo world?

The guard's eyes lit up and he immediately looked at Qi Ji. After confirming that it was him, he was a little excited, but he still saluted faithfully and took the document handed over by Qin Zijin. After confirming that it was correct, he nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Qi, Ms. Qin, please follow me!"

The two men got on the guard's military green jeep and headed towards the mountain road temporarily opened by the military.

Ten minutes later, Qi Ji and Qin Zijin arrived at the final destination of this trip.

Deep in the dense forest, a large open space was cleared. In the center of the open space, there was a red cross crack suspended two feet in the air.

Ten meters outside the crack, trenches have been dug at right angles and sharp wire barriers have been set up. Two rows of soldiers with live ammunition are standing in the trenches, aiming intently at the crack. Once an alien demon is teleported out, it will be shot to death in an instant.

And behind this group of soldiers in front-line combat posture, there are several teams of soldiers sitting on the ground with serious expressions, resting, ready to replace them at any time.

A temporary combat command center was built on the outskirts of the open space. It was a military green rectangular tent.

Qi Ji and Qin Zijin were brought in.

I saw several people in the tent at a glance.

Among them were a few unexpected yet reasonable acquaintances.

The man wearing an eye patch - Yagyu Jubei.

A man with an indifferent expression and sitting upright—Pei Xingjian.

Li Qichang, a famous ninth-dan player from the southwest region of Daxia who is often seen on TV.

Then there was the middle-aged officer sitting at the innermost end of the conference table. Although he had a smile on his face, his temperament revealed a strong iron-blooded style.

When the iron-blooded officer saw Qi Ji and Qin Zijin being brought in, he immediately smiled and said, "It's Qi Ji and Ms. Zijin, right? Come and take a seat!"

Qi Ji nodded and greeted the people present: "Sorry, we are late."

Li Qichang was a man in his forties. He smiled and nodded at Qi Ji to express his welcome.

Although Pei Xingjian was quite familiar with Qi Ji, he was naturally indifferent and just nodded calmly to Qi Ji.

Yagyu Jubei looked at Qi Ji with a smile: "Qi Ji, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon."

Qi Ji didn't wear translation headphones this time, so he didn't understand what the other party was saying.

Seeing Qi Ji's confused look, Yagyu Jubei reacted and spoke in a colonel-like voice: "Qi Ji... sir, I didn't expect that we would meet so soon."

This time Qi Ji understood, and he sat down and said with a smile: "Liu Sheng, aren't you going to the outer realm to achieve transcendence? Why are you here?"

A carefree smile appeared on Yagyu Jubei's rough face: "Originally, I thought so, but it just so happened that Daxia requested assistance, and I heard that Qi Jijun would also come, so I came. There is also Qi in the outer demon desperate situation, and I can also be promoted to the extraordinary level..."

Qi Ji nodded to show that he understood. The two stopped talking and looked at the iron-blooded commander together.

"Now that everyone is here, let's get down to business without further delay ." The Iron-blooded Commander said with a smile, "Let me introduce myself first. I'm Dai Chunhong, a division-level cadre of a certain unit whose unit number cannot be disclosed. You can call me Old Dai."

Dai Chunhong began to introduce the situation to Qi Ji and others.

The outer demonic realm outside was the second round of cracks that appeared four days ago.

Through the unique monitoring methods from above, the army was immediately dispatched to clear the forest and then closely monitor this desperate place of foreign demons.

This place of desperate situation for foreign demons spewed out different kinds of foreign demons at a frequency of once every hour. After several days of guarding and killing, a total of 107 foreign demons were killed. The bodies of each foreign demon have been transported away to the research institute for research.

There are currently three types of foreign demons.

Scale monster - looks like a human but not a human, covered with scales, with fangs and sharp claws.

Mandible - It looks very similar to an ordinary wild wolf, but has fluffy manes like a lion. It is as strong as a lion or a tiger, and is agile and powerful.

The tigress - similar in appearance to a tiger, with a round structure shaped like a human head at the end of its tail. When it shakes, it makes a strange sound that can make people irritated and distracted. At the same time, it also has the combat power of a tiger.

Among them, the scale monster is the easiest to deal with, while the tiger is the most difficult to deal with.

"We once tried to send five elite soldiers into the area to explore, but three of them died and only two returned." Dai Chunhong showed a look of regret when he said this, and then he held back his sadness and said, "The two soldiers who returned brought back some information about the distribution of monsters and the location of the 'suspected core' foreign demon leader. Take a look."

A map-like projection was projected onto the screen, with circles marked on it to indicate the locations of monsters, and a conspicuous red cross marked on the top of a mountain.

"The terrain of the Outer Demon Realm is consistent with the terrain of the entire area around Earth. The location of the Outer Demon leader is at the top of this mountain."

Dai Chunhong said solemnly: "Please make sure to explore the strategy carefully while ensuring your own safety, and don't be careless. We still have time, and we don't expect to succeed in this one entry. Also, remember that after the five of you enter, the crack will be temporarily closed for at least an hour before it reappears, which means you have to stay in it for at least an hour before you can come out."

"Five people? Why did I hear that the maximum number is ten?" Qi Ji asked.

Dai Chunhong said: "Ten people is the limit for the number of people in a relatively large Outer Devil's Despair. Strictly speaking, this Outer Devil's Despair is a small one. After five people enter, no more people can be accepted."

The combat meeting ended quickly.

Qi Ji and his companions took off their outer clothes, put on special clothes and simple shoes like flip-flops, and came to the cross crack with their weapons.

At this time, a scale monster had just been shot dead, and several soldiers came forward, dragged the body away and sealed it up.

"Let's go then?" Qi Ji took a deep breath and asked first.

Including Qin Zijin, the remaining four martial arts masters gripped their weapons tightly and nodded in agreement.

Qi Ji immediately stepped into the scarlet cross crack.

…

Just like a portal to the outside world, it feels like passing through a thin film.

The smell of decay wafts into my mouth and nose.

Qi Ji opened his eyes and immediately looked around.

The place where he was was no longer a lush forest.

Instead, there are all kinds of strange-shaped dry trees, which look like the spooky forest where witches live in horror movies.

From time to time, the faint roars of beasts could be heard in the wild forest.

On one side of the sky is a huge black sun that seems to be in a total solar eclipse.
