Volume 3: The World's Strongest Chapter 68: Combat Meeting, Shura Seed
After getting up early and practicing, Qi Ji turned on the TV while washing up. The morning news was playing on it.
Naturally, the news broadcast on British television was from the country itself. With his good command of Nordic language, Qi Ji was able to understand about 80% of it.
"The latest report is that there have been multiple cases of human murders in the Fog Metropolis area, and the victims died from massive blood loss."
"There have been a large number of incidents of wild animals attacking humans in the suburbs of Nordic countries. Special reminder: the suburbs are dangerous. Please do not stay away from urban areas without special reasons."
Some of the news attracted Qi Ji's attention, and his expression was full of interest. People in the know could probably guess from the information revealed in these news that most of the time it was caused by foreign demons.
Qi Ji stroked his chin and said to himself: "It's really a mess abroad. It's better to live in Daxia."
After a while, Qi Ji raised his eyebrows and looked towards the guest room door.
The next moment, the doorbell rang.
He walked over and opened the door, and saw that it was indeed Gao Wen, the handsome guy with a hearty smile.
Gao Wen stood outside the door without entering. Instead, he smiled and said, "Mr. Qi, it's almost eight o'clock now. I'm here to take you to the combat meeting."
As he spoke, he handed over a packaged, heated sandwich and a can of milk: "I guess you didn't have breakfast, so I brought it up to you in the cafeteria."
…
At eight o'clock, Qi Ji, led by Gao Wen, came to the hotel's conference room.
There were already three people sitting at the conference table inside.
At the very center sat an old man in British military uniform. Judging from the number of medals and stars on his chest and shoulders, he must have a high military rank.
On both sides of the officer, on the left sat a middle-aged man wearing a British police uniform, who was wiping the sweat from his forehead.
On the right sat a bearded man in a suit and tie, looking very serious.
At this moment, the bearded man was saying in a stern tone: "No matter what, Mr. Gilbert Rona, the Metropolitan Police Force under your command must find out those outliers hidden in the crowd within three days. Under special circumstances, the metropolitan area can no longer bear any more criticism!"
Opposite him, the police chief nodded with a smile and said, "Mr. Mayor, please rest assured. We have dispatched the maximum police force to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the population in the metropolitan area, and we have successfully captured a... um, a demon! Yes, a demon!"
He waved his hands and assured excitedly: "Our Metropolitan Police will definitely be able to catch these devils within the specified time and give an explanation to the Mayor!"
The bearded man called Mr. Mayor relaxed his expression after hearing this, nodded and stopped talking.
Then, in the awkward silence, everyone saw Gao Wen and Qi Ji coming to the door.
Gawain immediately stepped forward, bowed slightly and said, "General Bernard, Mayor Carles, Director Gilvey, Mr. Qi Ji, who was sent by Daxia to provide support, has arrived."
The elderly officer sitting in the middle looked up at Qi Ji and smiled gently: "Hello, Mr. Qi Ji, I didn't expect you to be so young. I'm sorry to bother you this time. Please take a seat. The others will be here soon."
Qi Ji smiled and nodded, then took the initiative to sit at the end of the conference table.
After a while, several of Qi Ji's "teammates" appeared one after another.
As for why he knew it was his teammate, it was simple.
They are either acquaintances or celebrities, it is hard not to know them.
The first person the three people who came in saw was Qi Ji, who was sitting at the end of the conference table.
The first person to come in was Qi Ji's old acquaintance, a gentleman old man, codenamed Silver - Cecil Lope.
Cecil's eyes lit up when he saw Qi Ji, and he immediately greeted him: "Good day, I didn't expect that Mr. Qi Ji would come here to support me, thank you very much!"
Qi Ji nodded slightly: "Cecil, you are very busy, I can see you everywhere."
Cecil smiled slightly: "The whole world is in trouble. As a gentleman, it is a proud thing to be able to contribute at this moment."
After a few pleasantries, Cecil sat next to Qi Ji, and then they tacitly kept silent.
Then there is the descendant of the Miserable and Hopeless Team, who possesses a super strong body with a method of nourishing his meridians - Jaeger Janos.
When Yeager, the sturdy man who had been "deeply impressed" by Qi Ji, saw Qi Ji, his whole body trembled slightly and a look of slight fear appeared on his face. Obviously, he had recognized Qi Ji as the Bai Xiuluo who almost made him meet God.
So he said nothing and silently ran to the other side of the table and sat down.
The last person to come in was a handsome young man who was about the same age as Qi Ji, with brown hair and gray eyes. His face was handsome and delicate, but his expression was cold and serious.
After he came in, he just glanced at everyone present, then walked to the table and sat down.
However, Qi Ji was an insider after all, and he recognized this handsome and recognizable super swordsman at a glance.
The fourth-ranked world martial arts master, the strongest person under the three great sword masters, the ninth-level super genius who is only 27 years old - Lancelot Ban.
It can be said that everyone on earth knows about it.
Before Qi Ji came out of nowhere, this swordsman was the youngest and coolest rising star in the martial arts circle.
"Now that everyone is here, the combat meeting will begin immediately." General Bernard sat up straight and spoke.
Are you all here?
Qi Ji was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand and asked, "Shouldn't there be five combatants?"
General Bernard nodded at him and said, "This is exactly the point I want to make this time. Please be patient, Mr. Qi Ji. You will understand after I finish speaking."
Okay, Qi Ji spread his hands. To be honest, it didn't matter to him at all whether there was one more or one less person.
Seeing that no one had any more objections, General Bernard coughed lightly and said, "The nature of this Hell Rift is special. We have no choice but to summon the world's strongest experts together."
He paused and continued, "The reason why there is one less person in the battle is because there is already an important person trapped in this hell crack. Therefore, this is not only a battle to break through the barrier, but also a rescue operation. And please keep the identity of the important person trapped in it confidential."
He said: "The name is 'Windsor' - Melina Windsor."
General Bernard mentioned a person's name. While everyone was confused, they saw that the other three teammates had some unusual movements. It was obvious that they all knew who this Melina was.
As for the surname "Windsor", Qi Ji had heard of it before. It is the surname of a member of the British royal family.
So, we are going to rescue a little princess from the royal family this time?
"Yes, as you think, it is the princess of the royal family." General Bernard saw the expressions of the people present and nodded with certainty. "The royal family has made a request to the parliament to bring back their beloved daughter, alive or dead."
He continued, "If you have no doubts, I will begin to introduce the situation of this Hell Rift and the battle plan to you."
Several people looked at each other, but no one spoke.
Seeing this, Bernard picked up the remote control and pressed it, and the relevant image immediately appeared on the screen in the conference room.
He said: "Based on the information we have sent people to explore this Hell Crack, it is the same as other Hell Cracks. The environment and terrain inside are exactly the same as this urban area in reality. Of course, there is no deserted city with any human beings in it."
He continued, "Although there are no people there, there are several kinds of 'demons', and they are all demons in human form that have been recorded in ancient history. You must be careful when dealing with them."
It seems that calling those foreign demons "demons" in Northern Europe is in line with their naming habits.
Qi Ji listened calmly as General Bernard continued, "Based on the demons that our soldiers have killed and captured, they can be roughly divided into three categories."
"The first type is a 'blood demon' with pale skin and blood-red pupils. Both its appearance and hobbies are consistent with the vampires in fantasy stories." He pressed the remote control.
Several photos were shown in front of Qi Ji and the others. In the photos were "humans" who were either dead or alive, with pale skin and handsome looks. The biggest difference from humans was that these humanoid creatures had two sharp canine teeth and scarlet eyes.
"The characteristics of blood demons are that their strength is average, but their movements are extremely fast. I mean, in the world of Hell Rift, they are extremely fast." Bernard continued.
Then he pressed the remote control again, and another image of a creature appeared. This time, the image of the creature looked extremely familiar to Qi Ji.
The creatures in the image are basically humanoid, tall and mighty, but with evil and ugly faces, purple-black skin, and two horns on their foreheads.
"Ashura species..." Qi Ji muttered to himself.
That’s right, the alien demon that appeared in front of Qi Ji this time was exactly the kind of high-level alien demon that he had killed on Earth.
Bernard glanced at Qi Ji and nodded, "So you call this kind of demon 'Shura' here in Daxia? Here, he is called 'Raging Demon', a very powerful species with the ability to transform."
He said solemnly, "Even if the Rage Demon is on the real Earth, its transformed body functions far exceed those of ordinary people. If it is in the Hell Rift, it has at least one level of extraordinary strength. It is the biggest obstacle to your operation this time."
Then he heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, from the information our death squads have reported, there are very few furious demons in this world of Hell's rift. The most common demon is the 'fallen demon', which is as short as a dwarf and has low combat effectiveness but is numerous. The second most common demon is the blood demon I just mentioned. So far, we have only killed one furious demon in reality, and we have only witnessed one case in the rift..."
He finally said: "The above are the types of demons found in this crack. Generally speaking, the rescue of you is still quite challenging."
"As for the battle plan, due to the lack of intelligence, I cannot provide you with more help, so I can only give you the simplest ones."
Bernard looked helpless and said, "The first priority is to save your own life, and the second priority is to rescue Melina Windsor. After rescuing Melina, we will retreat immediately. As for conquering this Hell Rift, we can wait until the Sword Master of Oz comes back and then make a long-term plan!"
Qi Ji and the others looked at each other, then nodded in agreement.
