Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army

Chapter 202 A bowl of noodle soup before departure

After Ning Lian eliminated the monster, the battle on Su Ping's side was also coming to an end.

The spear was thrust out like a dragon, with a powerful momentum. Su Ping stepped on the fallen young rock dragon lizard and continued to strike with the spear in his hand.

One shot pierced its mouth, two shots broke its throat, and after the third shot, the young rock dragon lizard was completely unrecognizable and fell to the ground, without a sound.

Pulling out his spear, Su Ping looked back at the bushes and shouted, "Yanchuan, are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll be right out!" Iwakawa waved in the bushes. After a moment, he walked out neatly dressed and patted his chest.

"Luckily, we have you two on our team, otherwise I would be dead today, my reputation would be damaged, and I would die without a complete body!"

Iwakawa was panting and groaning, and the Qianyan soldiers who had arrived late and were cleaning up the battlefield couldn't help feeling a little scared.

When the two monsters just emerged from the ground, they were completely unaware of their traces. If these two had not been present, a tragedy would have occurred.

Su Ping jumped off the young rock dragon lizard and took a closer look. Compared with the rock dragon lizard, the scales of this young rock dragon lizard were thinner, its body was about the same height as a human, and its tail was shaped like a big hammer.

He breathed a sigh of relief. "Fortunately it was a young rock dragon lizard, not an adult one, otherwise it would be a big trouble."

Because the Rock Dragon Lizard was huge, Su Ping could not kick it so far with a flying kick in an instant, and Ning Lian could not completely freeze a Rock Dragon Lizard and kill it with one blow.

The consequence of that would be that they would need to fight in the bushes. Regardless of whether there were other obstacles in the bushes, just the fact that Iwakawa was still there meant that they would not be able to fight there.

Su Ping turned around and looked at the young man who was grinning again, and said teasingly: "They pulled out two young rock dragon lizards. What an amazing achievement!"

Iwakawa shook his head repeatedly and said it was an accident.

"It's not an accident." Ning Lian slowly walked up to the two of them and explained, "I went down the passage dug by the monsters and found a natural cave underground, which is the residence of dragon lizard monsters."

Iwakawa was stunned. "Doesn't that mean I'm just pooping at their doorstep?"

Ning Lian nodded slightly, looking calm.

Su Ping patted Yanchuan on the shoulder and said, "Thanks to the scout Yanchuan, we were able to kill two more monsters. Otherwise, we might not be able to wipe out this hidden place!"

Yanchuan gnashed his teeth and said indignantly: "Who dares to tell others about what happened today? I...I'll let Ning go to them for extra training. I'll keep my word, don't disbelieve me!"

The soldiers nearby, after they had calmed down from the fear, suddenly burst into laughter, and no one listened or paid attention to his threats.

Iwakawa grabbed his spear and ran quickly to subdue the demon and eliminate the evil.

The soldiers quickly dodged, and they were having a blast running away from him in the woods, with laughter ringing out all the time.

Someone took advantage of the gap in the pursuit to run to their leader and reported military intelligence, "Boss, we found a humanoid monster. The brothers are no match for it. Please show your power and kill this monster!"

Su Ping looked at the figures of the people moving through the forest, spread his hands and said, "Killing monsters is the duty of the Qianyan Army. The captain once taught us that we should die but not retreat. I just used a method, but now I am powerless to save the situation. You can only wish for the best!"

"Hey, thank you so much!" Iwakawa turned around and shouted, then turned around and continued chasing, grinning, "Don't run, stop!"

Some people were playing and some were chatting.

Ning Lian looked at the boy he favored and said calmly, "The size of the cave doesn't seem to be home to only two young rock dragon lizards, but it's also impossible for a monster to hide, which is very strange."

Su Ping hesitated for a moment and said, "I have been in the army for a short time, and my understanding of the habits of monsters is far less than yours. If that's the case, then either the monsters have mutated, or there is something wrong with these two young rock dragon lizards."

"From my experience of having killed so many monsters, both are possible. I just hope it's the latter. We should kill this variable as soon as possible, otherwise there may be trouble in the future." Ning Lian's face darkened as he spoke.

Su Ping nodded and said, "Report to the captain after you go back."

Ning Lian agreed: "It is right to take some precautions."

……

After that, more than ten days passed, April had passed, and it was May, the peak summer, when flowers were in full bloom and life was exuberant.

The captain took Su Ping's report seriously, but he did not find any other useful information. In the end, he let it go and ignored it.

After all, it was just a cave, and perhaps the monster had made a big attack. To investigate it by spending manpower and resources would inevitably be like seeing snakes in a cup of wine and being frightened of a bird.

Ning Lian later said that he might have thought too much. After all, it was just a guess. If he wanted to waste too much time, resources and manpower on it, he should not do so.

There is no need to do anything that will end up with nothing. They should spend their time on the most important things rather than committing to a sudden guess.

During this time, several people in Su Ping's team tied up the scout Yanchuan with ropes and sent him to the military doctor for examination.

Iwakawa had discovered the conspiracy in time and wanted to hide, but he was powerless. Facing the siege of several people, he had nowhere to escape in the tent, so he was tied up and sent to the military medical department.

"Hmm..." The military doctor felt the patient's pulse, stroked his beard, and remained silent.

The soldiers watching nearby were beating their hearts up and down, not to mention Iwakawa himself, who was already sweating profusely and his clothes were soaked with sweat.

He was sweating profusely, and in the extremely serious atmosphere of the tent, he did not dare to speak, for fear of disturbing the military doctor and preventing him from checking his physical condition clearly.

"As for your identity..." The military doctor licked his lips halfway through his sentence, made a light sigh, supported his chin and remained silent.

Iwakawa's eyes widened. He had just made a random check and suddenly got seriously ill for no apparent reason. But why had he never noticed any changes in himself?

The several Qianyan soldiers standing nearby were already in a state of panic. Even when facing a horrible monster, they were able to charge forward fearlessly, but now they just couldn't calm down.

The military doctor paused, picked up the water cup beside him, drank a sip of water slowly, and said calmly: "There is no big problem with your physical condition. It's just that your yin and yang may be out of balance recently, so some toxins have accumulated. Other than that, you are very healthy."

Yanchuan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a resentful look: "Could you please not breathe heavily while you talk or drink water next time? It's easy to scare people into illness!"

The military doctor smiled faintly and said, "I am old now, so I can only speak slowly. If I speak quickly, others won't be able to hear me clearly. Isn't that more frightening?"

Iwakawa was silent for a moment, and subconsciously asked: "What does imbalance of yin and yang mean, and how can it be adjusted?"

"Either you go home, or I can prescribe some medicine to clear your mind and eyes. This will solve the problem. It's very simple." The military doctor said seriously.

Iwakawa understood what was meant by that, turned around and glared at the people around him, then his face turned red, and he pretended to be calm, clearing his throat, "Then I'd better prescribe some medicine, I can't go back now."

"Okay." The military doctor stood up and went to sort the herbs.

The tied-up Iwakawa could only listen with tears in his eyes as the very pretentious and despicable words in his ears said, "Achuan, do you need it?"

Iwakawa's eyes were closed, his mind was free of distracting thoughts, and his appearance was solemn and dignified.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

The young soldier thought about it day and night, but he had no firm opinion in his mind. After going back and forth for many times, he found the person involved in the matter and wanted to ask him clearly so that he would not keep thinking about it.

"Boss, I heard them say that you went in and out of the monster camp seven times and killed all the monsters, so you got the nickname of Demon Slayer. Is that true?"

"Demon Slayer?" Su Ping looked strange and asked in confusion: "Who gave me this nickname? Why haven't I heard of it myself?"

The young man blinked his eyes, realizing that he had said something wrong. His eyes flickered, and he quickly said, "Boss, just tell me, were you ruthless in killing monsters before?"

“This is not just the case in the past, it’s the same now as well. How could the Qianyan Army be merciful about this matter?” Su Ping gripped his spear, as if he was about to go into battle and fight bloody battles with his comrades.

The young soldier exclaimed, "It's really true. I thought the leader was a very gentle person. After all, he always spoke to people in a kind and gentle manner. But it turns out that his methods are so cruel!"

Su Ping spread his hands and said, "Of course the attitude towards people and comrades is different from that towards monsters. Otherwise, how could there be such a distinction?"

The young man nodded and explained, "I just think that the boss is so different now. He can talk to people gently, but he can also be so brave and ruthless that he fights the enemy bravely. He is really amazing."

Su Ping waved his hand and said, "What's the big deal? Although I don't know how many people like this there are in the Qianyan Army, there must be more than a few."

The young soldier looked around and saw that there was no one around. He whispered, "But Ning Lian is not like that. He doesn't talk much and has a strong aura. I don't dare to talk to him at all."

"There will always be differences. It's actually easy to talk to Ning. Just don't be scared by his murderous aura from years of fighting. I'll talk to him for you next time."

"Thank you, boss."

While the two were talking, someone suddenly came over, stuffed a bowl of noodle soup into Su Ping's hand, and turned and ran away.

Su Ping turned around and saw that it was the woman and the old man he had rescued at that time, and standing next to them was the captain Ying Qian.

"The girl said she wanted to thank you, so she asked the old lady to help make noodles, and she brought them to you personally." Ying Qian said with a smile.

Su Ping glanced at the kind-faced old man, and the woman who had untied the rope but was still hiding behind the old man, and waved his hand.

Ying Qian said slowly: "Eat quickly, they will be leaving soon, and we may not have the chance to see them again in the future."

Su Ping asked: "Have their relatives been found?"

Ying Qian shook his head and said, "We didn't find them, so we can only send them to Liyue Harbor. I hope they can live a better life there."
