I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

Chapter 1118: Chapter 691: The Five Decays of Heaven and Mortal

Outside San Tuo Mountain, over a hundred kilometers away.

In an unremarkable desolate valley, more than four thousand soldiers from Ice Extreme Pass gathered here in full force.

The ground around the camp was covered with silver spatial lines, like a giant spider web, completely isolating the life aura, spiritual energy fluctuations, and even light refraction from the entire camp, forming a tightly sealed Space Concealment Array.

From the outside, it looked like a barren and deserted valley, blending seamlessly with the surrounding scenery, with nothing unusual.

"The Military Lord should be back soon, right?"

Ran Tu paced back and forth in front of the tent, eyebrows tightly knit, with a trace of worry on his face.

Although the Military Lord had asked them to stay behind and protect the main forces, he couldn’t quite let go in his heart.

This time, the opponents the Military Lord faced were not ordinary, but three Tier Eight Royal Family members plus tens of thousands of elite Beastman warriors.

Such a massive lineup was a terrifyingly disruptive force on any battlefield.

The Military Lord was going to face all this alone.

And as subordinates, they could only hide in the dark, unable to provide even a bit of help to him.

Although Ran Tu knew that the Military Lord arranged this way to protect everyone’s safety, deep down, the feeling of powerlessness was like a thorn, faintly pricking his heart.

For the Military Lord, are we still a burden?

Ran Tu felt a bit bitter inside.

"Don’t worry, the boss will be fine."

Li Qi leaned against a nearby wooden stake, noticing Ran Tu’s restless manner, and couldn’t help but smile slightly.

It’s just that Ran Tu hasn’t been with the boss long enough to understand his capabilities and ways.

People like him, Xiong, Terreda, and Old Ghost, who have been with the boss for many years, were all calm and unflustered.

They knew the boss’s style too well—he never fought a battle without certainty.

A Beastman army of tens of thousands, the three Tier Eight Royal Family members, sure it sounded intimidating, but in the complex terrain of San Tuo Mountain, those foolish Beastmen were just led by the boss.

With the boss’s unpredictable spatial ability, unless a Tier Nine Demigod came personally, no matter how many Beastmen there were, they wouldn’t be able to touch a hair on him.

"Director Ran, just put your mind at ease." Old Ghost said gently, his voice though aged, carried a soothing power.

"I guess the boss will be back soon."

Seeing how calm the elders around the Military Lord were, Ran Tu realized his difference from them.

In terms of understanding and trusting the Military Lord, he was far from them indeed.

He smiled bitterly and stopped pacing, learning from Li Qi to lean against a side, suppressing his agitation.

At that moment—

A familiar spatial ripple emerged at the center of the camp.

Everyone’s face brightened, and as expected, the next second, a tall figure appeared before them.

"Military Lord!"

"Military Lord!"

"Boss!"

In an instant, over four thousand soldiers surrounded him almost simultaneously, each pair of eyes fixed on Qin Tian. When they saw the faint smile on the Military Lord’s face, they all understood—the Beastmen were certainly doomed.

"Boss, how many Beastmen did you slay?" Terreda shouted, asking the question everyone wanted to ask.

Qin Tian replied calmly, "Below Tier Six, almost all wiped out. Killed a few Tier Seven too. But in the end, unfortunately, over a hundred managed to escape."

Over a hundred?

Of over ten thousand elite Beastmen, only a little over a hundred were left?

It should be known that they were elite Beastmen, those who could enter the Celestial Stele Secret Realm were at least Tier Five warriors.

In other words, in this battle, the Beastmen lost over ten thousand Tier Five elites at least, and many Tier Six Beastmen would have died too, even several Tier Seven Beastmen were killed by the Military Lord.

The soldiers’ eyes widened, filled with shock, excitement, and pride.

This was their Military Lord, the eternal faith totem of Ice Extreme Pass.

Mere Beastmen dare to target the Military Lord?

Now, they had lost both soldiers and resources!

"Boss, what about the treasure under San Tuo Mountain?" Li Qi asked again.

Qin Tian smiled, "It’s already in hand."

"Haha, great!"

"I knew it!"

"Poor Beastmen, played by the Military Lord, ended up with nothing."

"The Celestial Stele Secret Realm is indeed a treasure of our Empire. Just letting them bathe in the Celestial Stele Light makes my heartache. As for the treasure, there’s no way they could get it."

Upon hearing Qin Tian’s words, the soldiers were even more excited, their tone filled with delight and mockery towards the Beastmen.

The camp was filled with a light and joyous atmosphere, as if they just experienced a great victory firsthand.

After the atmosphere slightly calmed, Qin Tian did not order to break camp and leave, instead, he called a few core cadres to his side, his expression a bit more solemn.

"Military Lord, do you have any further instructions?" Ran Tu asked.

Qin Tian spoke slowly, "I think you all must be curious, what exactly is the treasure suppressed under San Tuo Mountain, now let you see."

As he spoke, he flipped his palm, and a golden lotus seed appeared in his hand.

The lotus seed radiated warm golden light, and as it appeared, a peculiar energy ripple spread outwards, carrying a refreshing, delicate fragrance.

Everyone present took one look and knew this was no ordinary item.

"Boss, what is this?" Terreda asked curiously.

"To be honest, I’m not sure either."
