Chapter 58: Target, Tian Shui University

  Ugh!

  Just as Tang Tian didn't know how to respond to Zhao Yue'er's words, a long knife suddenly appeared at Zhao Yue'er's neck.

  "How dare you, sir! You think you can insult a respectable woman like me? I'll have your head!", a burly man shouted, raising his long knife to behead Zhao Yue'er.

  Zhao Yue'er was clearly frightened by this suddenly appearing ferocious and evil person, and stood there stupidly, at a loss for what to do.

  "Halt!", Tang Tian immediately reacted and loudly commanded.

  Upon hearing Tang Tian's words, the Decurion immediately stopped his actions and said to Tang Tian with great respect: "Your Excellency, this man has insulted you. I will strike him down to uphold your honor."

  "It's nothing, she's just a good friend of mine, just joking around, don't mind it," Tang Tian explained hastily, but he still had no idea that these soldiers would be so loyal.

  "Yes, I understand," the squad leader said with a guilty tone and immediately retreated.

  Tang Tian let out a sigh of relief at the same time, secretly congratulating himself on stopping in time, otherwise Zhao Yue'er's flower-like body would have been beheaded.

  Turning to Zhao Yue'er, who was pale-faced, he said: "You'd better go back, I'll take someone to Tian Shui University later to see what the situation is like and whether we can rescue some classmates." Then he turned to Liu Xin, who was also obviously frightened, and said: "You should also go back with Yue'er, I'll be out for a while and will probably be back tonight or this afternoon."

  "Uh-huh, then I'll head back with Sister Yue first. You should come back early too." Liu Xin obediently replied and went to pull away the spaced-out Zhao Yue.

  At this time, all the soldiers had finished their meal and were lined up neatly waiting for Tang Tian's orders.

  "Long swordsmen, teams one to six! Long spearmen, teams one to three! Axe men, teams one to three! Archers, teams one to three, listen up!" Tang Tian bellowed, facing these stern soldiers, Tang Tian also brought out the corresponding majesty.

  "In!", all the squads called out in unison.

  "Wait and go with me later"

  "Uh-huh..."

  "Seven or eight squads of long swordsmen, four or five squads of long spearmen and four or five squads of archers, listen to orders!"

  "In..."

  "You stay and guard the camp, be careful to protect it, don't let anyone come to make trouble. Hmm, you can take turns, three hours each shift, just pay attention to whether anyone comes to make trouble."

  "Uh-huh..."

  "In addition, the 90 Long Knife Troops and the 45 Axe Troops will listen to my orders. Go help me demolish all those uninhabited houses, gather the stones together in a pile, I'll have use for them later."

  "Uh-huh..."

  Having received Tang Tian's order, these people acted in small teams, those who were called to follow him stood up and waited to go out, while those who stayed behind dispersed in all directions, the general surrounded them, staring at the surroundings, as if they would pounce on any movement.

  The others who were pointed to demolish the house also left one after another, anyway, as long as they saw an empty house, they would demolish it with a bang...

  Looking at these people in an orderly manner, Tang Tian also felt relieved and said to those who were going out with him: "This place is full of danger, everyone must be prepared for battle at any time".

  "Yes! We swear to follow our lord to death!"

  "Let's go!" Looking at the tiger-like masters in front of him, Tang Tian said with a heroic spirit.

  Tang Tian's purpose for this trip was the University of Tianshui. Firstly, he wanted to see how his former classmates were doing. Secondly, with these elite troops by his side, he no longer feared Zhang Hao and others, and had come to settle a score. After all, Tang Tian was still a man who remembered past grievances.

  However, this time he went there, not just to find trouble for Zhang Hao, but mainly because he wanted to see how his former classmates were doing. After all, Tang Tian's life was still very difficult in the past, and his classmates had helped a lot. Moreover, he also wanted to go see how his only friend Zou Jun was doing.

  However, what made Tang anxious was that after several days had passed, whether his classmates were still safe and sound, and whether they had left school to go somewhere else.

  Because this time he brought a large team of over 100 people, and each person was above level 5, seemingly very powerful troops. Moreover, he had already changed his job, and with the Snow Drinking Crazy Blade in hand, which could unleash blade energy, Tang Tian wasn't too afraid of the dangers of the forest, thinking that passing through it wouldn't be too difficult.

  All the way, Tang Tian could be said to have advanced at full speed, and before long, he arrived at the place where he had encountered the variant carp last time.

  Actually, Tang Tian still hoped to encounter the mutated carp or mutated earthworms again. He wanted to check out their combat strength once more. After all, he hadn't seen it with his own eyes and was still uncertain in his heart.

  "Be careful, there's danger, protect the master..."

  While Tang Tian was thinking about how to bring out the combat effectiveness of these troops, a long spearman on his side suddenly shouted loudly.

  Before Tang Tian could react, he was surrounded by three layers of troops inside and out, protecting him in the middle. These soldiers all drew their weapons, vigilantly watching the surroundings.

  "What's wrong?" Tang Tian asked the ten-foot-long root that had just spoken up.

  "Reporting to Your Excellency, I just sensed a killing aura, but it vanished in an instant," the captain of the guards said respectfully.

  Wow wow wow!!!

  Just as his voice had just fallen, a large group of mutant fish suddenly jumped out of the river next to him, including not only the mutated carp that Tang Tian had seen last time, but also other mutant beasts.

  "Variant swordfish, level five, with extremely sharp edges on its body, jumping and bouncing at high speed, its sharp bony body can effectively pierce through a person's body."

  "Mutant Electric Eel, level 6. After evolving, it not only has extremely strong attacking power, but its massive body doesn't make its speed as slow as you'd imagine, and its attacks also have a strong paralyzing effect..."

  "Variety of carp..."

  Under Tang Tian's True Eye, the data of these mutated fish jumping out of the water quickly appeared in his mind. The two-meter-long, sharp-headed and flat-bodied mutated swordfish really looked like a long sword being unsheathed. The six-meter-long mutated electric eel was as thick as a bucket, with a uniform layer of sticky mucus on its body surface, and a faint flash of electricity could be seen on its head. There were also the mutated carp with sharp teeth and bones on their back, and bony plates on both sides of their body.

  Just as these variant fish-like bars emerged from the ground, the troops summoned by Tang Tian also formed corresponding combat formations. They dispersed mutually but had a subtle existence of mutual cover.

  Men in iron armor with long spears were at the front, holding back the mutated fish, while men with long swords covered one side and axe-wielding soldiers reinforced from another. Behind them, archers with longbows provided cover for those in front, as if they had practiced a thousand times, these troops quickly formed such a battle formation.

  This made Tang Tian sigh with emotion, the army is the army, it's not something that those mobs can compare to. This also made him feel that choosing a military career was absolutely correct.

  The battle formation was quickly formed, and these troops maintained a fast pace as they rushed out of the water to attack the mutated fish. These people were extremely ruthless, often targeting the weak points of the mutated fish, such as their eyes and relatively soft abdomen. If they missed an attack, they would quickly retreat or dodge, while others provided cover. Although the movements were not many or complex, they were very effective, with almost no casualties.

  Several different troops worked together to kill these roughly equal-level variant fish, which was a very easy task in Tang Tian's eyes. They either used long spears or long knives to slash at them, and if they couldn't withstand it, two sturdy axe-wielding soldiers would take the top spot, eliminating one with just a few swings, much easier than when Tang Tian faced these variant fish alone.

  Splashing and chopping sounds continued to ring out, accompanied by the mournful cries of the dying mutant fish.

  Tang Tian was not to be outdone, and he took out the Snow Drinking Crazy Blade, also joining the battle. He tried to inject his internal energy into the long blade, and instantly, the blade emitted several tens of centimeters of blade energy. With one swing of the knife, it easily split open the scales of the mutated fish, compared to before, killing the mutated carp was unknown how many times easier.

  After testing his combat power, Tang Tian finally gave up on taking action because his level was now far higher than these variant fish, and killing them would not gain much experience.

  However, Tang Tian happened to notice a strange phenomenon on the attribute panel, that was his experience bar was still increasing slightly, which left him stunned.

  After careful observation, he found that these troops summoned by themselves could also gain experience after killing the variant beasts, roughly about one percent of the total experience gained from killing the variant beasts.

  This discovery made Tang Tian excited, this is obviously cheating, thinking about it, if he had tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of troops in the future, then going to slaughter a city of zombies would be as fast as leveling up on a rocket.

  Very soon, the battle came to an end. The dozens of mutated fish that jumped ashore were all killed, while Tang Tian's side only paid a few minor injuries. This made Tang Tian fully realize the combat effectiveness of these troops.

  After sweeping the battlefield, Tang Tian discovered that these troops also exploded things when killing mutated beasts. After killing these mutated beasts, they harvested more than a dozen gray treasure boxes and two imitation Jin Yiwei pendants, as well as over 300 demon coins. All of these items were handed over to Tang Tian, who accepted them without hesitation.

  Tang Tian opened more than a dozen gray treasure boxes on the spot, but only got two elementary knife methods and several inferior protective clothes. These were useless to him, and when he was about to put them away, Tang Tian saw several long knife soldiers staring at the elementary knife method in his hand. So, Tang Tian's heart moved, and he asked: "Can you use the elementary knife method and several inferior protective clothes?"
