Chapter 156 The Base Beneath the Luo River
"Come with me."
251 trainees followed Ning Xing, boarded an aircraft, and quickly flew downstream of Luojiang.
The aircraft remained suspended in mid-air for only half an hour.
"Military base?"
That's right.
Ning Xing led everyone to a military base, which was located on both sides of the strait.
Xiao Weiqing even saw some modern weapons, psionic cannons, with over a thousand cannons neatly arranged on both banks, all pointing towards the Luo River.
Along the shore here, there are guards every five steps and sentries every ten steps, all of whom are demon-suppressing soldiers.
One kilometer upstream, there is a massive dam, towering and majestic.
"Requesting landing!"
......
"Clearance for landing."
......
The aircraft landed.
The hatch opened.
Two familiar faces were waiting outside; they were Jiang Peng and Wang Fu.
"Hello, Principal Ning."
"Hmm, is the submarine ready?"
"It'll be ready soon."
"Alright, you guys explain the situation to them, I'll go down first." After Ning Xing finished speaking, he quickly took to the air and plunged directly into the Luo River.
As soon as Ning Xing left, Fei Xiaobao immediately asked, "Senior, what's the principal doing? Also, aren't we supposed to be slaying demons?"
"What are you doing here?"
Many people have the same question.
Jiang Peng said, "Since three years ago, the Demon-Slaying Trial at Luojiang Academy has stopped about slaying monsters and started slaying real demons!"
"What do you mean?"
Wang Fu slowly said:
Five years ago.
"Two demon lords, several seventh-realm demon kings, and dozens of sixth-realm demon kings led the demon army through the demon realm entrance into Luojiang and arrived at Blue Star."
Luojiang Prefecture was caught off guard, and the Demon Suppression Army suffered heavy losses. More than one-third of the teachers and students of Luojiang Academy were killed or injured.
After two days and three nights of fighting, they were finally wiped out.
"Wait, senior, did you just say demon race? Like demonic beasts?" someone asked.
Wang Fu shook his head, "Unfortunately, that's not the case."
"The Demon Race is a powerful civilized race. Because they look very much like the monsters in mythology, with human faces and animal bodies, we call them the Demon Race. The Demon Race is bloodthirsty and powerful. At the same level, we extraordinary cultivators with level 3 extraordinary talents can barely fight them."
"The discovery of the demon race occurred twenty years after the revival of spiritual energy."
"The first entrance to the demon realm is located within the territory of our Great Xia capital prefecture. The entrance to the demon realm in Luojiang is the seventh one discovered within the Great Xia territory."
Xiao Weiqing asked, "Are we entering the demon realm on this trip?"
Jiang Peng nodded. "That's right."
"We'll take a submarine to the entrance of the Demon Realm later."
"Is the entrance to the Demon Realm located below the Luo River?"
"Um."
Xiao Weiqing found it strange and asked again, "Senior, haven't the demon race invaded again in all these years? Why have we never heard of it?"
Jiang Peng explained, "The entrance to the demon realm was initially connected to Blue Star, but it wasn't stable. Five years ago, this demon realm entrance descended upon Luojiang. Although it was anchored here, the entrance to Blue Star from the demon realm wasn't fixed; it changed locations several times a day."
Even now, the other side of the entrance to the Luojiang Demon Realm changes location every seven days.
"Back then, those powerful demons entered Luojiang because the passage was unstable and they couldn't return, which is why they fought so desperately."
"Furthermore, every entrance to Earth is heavily guarded, and with countries intentionally blocking information, most people know very little about it. When you enter the underground base later, you will also need to sign a confidentiality agreement."
Wang Fu sighed, "It's just bad luck for Luojiang Prefecture. The first time the entrance suddenly appeared, there happened to be a powerful demon tribe near the entrance. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been so passive and suffered such heavy losses."
"Five years ago, when the demon race invaded, we only claimed to the outside world that the demon beasts in Luojiang had rioted, and we were also blocking the news."
Wang Fu then continued:
"Over the past century, even though the first entrance to the demon realm has been established for a long time, it has mostly been us humans who have taken the initiative to attack. Very few demons have entered Blue Star through the entrance, so there is no need for everyone to worry too much."
"You should know that the Demon Realm is full of treasures. If you enter once and come back alive, you will definitely gain something. Moreover, you can also gain contribution points by killing demons, which can be exchanged for unexpected treasures."
"I see." Xiao Weiqing then asked, "The entrance to this demon realm changes location every seven days. Doesn't that mean that if we don't return within seven days of entering the demon realm, we won't be able to come back?"
"That's right, so one must be cautious when entering the demon realm and try not to go too far."
Splash splash~~
A giant submarine surfaced on the river.
"Let's go, let's get into the base first."
Everyone entered the submarine one by one. In less than five minutes, the submarine submerged into the river and passed through a heavy gate at the bottom of the river to reach a huge circular base underground.
Everyone stepped out of the cabin.
A demon-suppressing army guarded the entrance, and the leader held a device that scanned everyone's wristbands in turn.
He then said, "This is your first time entering Base 7. Now look at your wristbands. Their original functions and information have been sealed and replaced with the system from the Demon Realm."
It's important to note that among the ten circular signals in the upper left corner, if only five remain after entering the Demon Realm, you must begin the return journey. If only three remain, traversing the entrance passage to the Demon Realm will become dangerous.
"What if it's less than three?" someone asked tentatively.
"That means the passage here has closed, and the entrance is about to change location. If you enter the passage, you will either get lost inside or be torn to pieces by the spatial-temporal turbulence. In this case, you'd better stay in the Demon Realm. If you're lucky, you might be able to hold out until the next entrance returns to you."
The student who asked the question narrowed his eyes, somewhat frightened. Being left alone in the demon realm was terrifying to even think about.
Jiang Peng asked, "Senior Song, when will the entrance to the Demon Realm open next?"
The leader frowned and shouted coldly, "Jiang Peng, use your job title when you're at work."
"This isn't your first time here, do I need to teach you?"
"Feel sorry."
"Captain Song, may I ask about next time..."
"Four hours later."
"You newbies, this is your first time entering the demon realm. Don't wander around. Just focus on completing the academy's trial tasks and ask Jiang Peng for advice."
After giving instructions to the more than two hundred newbies, Captain Song strode away.
Fei Xiaobao asked, "Senior Jiang, is Captain Song also from Luojiang Academy?"
"Yes, they are three years ahead of me. The Demon Suppression Army consists of ten people per team, and the captains are all at the peak of the fourth realm and are about to enter the fifth realm. They are very powerful."
"Wouldn't that make him even better than Senior Jiang?"
"..."
Jiang Peng coldly replied, "I am also at the fourth realm."
"However, Senior Song is a bit fierce, not as kind as Senior Jiang and Senior Wang," a student said.
Wang Fu explained with a smile, "The Demon Suppression Army often walks on the edge of life and death, so please don't mind. Senior Song Yu is actually very easy to talk to in private."
"Let's go."
"Let me show you the mission lobby."
Jiang Peng and Wang Fu, familiar with the place, led everyone into a huge square building.
Upon entering, you find yourself in an enormous plaza.
Four giant holographic screens stand in the center of the square, displaying a dense array of scrolling text.
There are many shops on both sides, and even people setting up stalls with various signs.
