Luo Feng waited on the stone roof of the house on his island.
Catastrophe-level tasks. How difficult is it going to be? Luo Feng thought. Dangerous as it seems, it’s a great chance to gain lots of military credits.
Everyone depended on military points in the army. By sitting around and doing nothing, death would be one’s only destiny.
Normally, when someone went out for a task, he would buy some valuables with his military points, such as valuables that could immediately recover godly bodies or true treasures and machine type valuables used for escape. However, Luo Feng didn’t have any military credits, so he couldn’t get any valuables.
At the same time, Luo Feng and Wu He got the arms credits from Python River Armor.

Captain, all of us combined only have around 2,600 military credits. What can we convert them into?


This is the catastrophe-level task that was only met every 10,000 eras. We need to get enough of those that can save lives.

Outside the arms palace, the 18 soldiers from the sixth squad of the first team were discussing the exchange.

A bunch of morons.

Six beings glanced at them in despise and entered the arms camp. The 18 soldiers were irritated.

It’s Yu Luo and the others.


Let them be smug. They can’t be so lucky forever.


That’s right. We’ll set them a trap at some point.

The 18 soldiers all felt annoyed.

A voice was transmitted to all the soldiers from the first team.
Gather!

Luo Feng, who lay on the rooftop, also opened his eyes.

So it begins?
Luo Feng smiled.
Sou!
He flew from the island, teleported, and proceeded toward the island of basic inheritance.
The camp of the Python River Army was enormous, and the gathering point was the island of basic inheritance.

Milky Way.


Wu He.

Luo Feng arrived on the island of basic inheritance. A strange beast was close by. Wu He flew toward him, shaking his wings. Luo Feng took a look at the island. Many soldiers had already arrived.

Milky Way, I’ve asked around.
Wu He transmitted his voice.
There are 39 soldiers in total. The original 37 soldiers didn’t have enough unity, so they were divided into three small teams. One is led by the team captain, and there are 18 soldiers. One of them is led by Ku Fa, and it has ten soldiers. Another is led by Yu Luo, and there are nine soldiers.


Oh?
Luo Feng took a look at Wu He in surprise.
No wonder Wu He was a child of the master of Northern True Ocean. It seemed that he had fully prepared himself after entering Python River Army and had learned about the internal relations. Wu He did a far better job than him.
Sou! Sou!
They flew toward the island immediately as they spoke. They landed on the island, and over 30 beings had already gathered. Luo Feng glanced around and saw that the soldiers were divided into three circles! The team captain he had seen before was in a circle. Ku Fa, who had a gentle appearance, was in another circle, while a cold, angry-looking individual was the leader of another circle.
The soldiers didn’t look happy about Luo Feng and Wu He’s arrival. Apparently, they were trying to warn them not to get close.

The team captain is just,
Wu He said, transmitting his voice.
Ku Fa has the best temper. As for Yu Luo, he’s the one with green skin and 18 hoofs. He’s very aggressive. More than half the strange beasts in our team are led by him. Normally, they would try to recruit us. However, we are facing the catastrophe-level task, and we’ve never cooperated with them. We haven’t practiced any combined attacks technique with them. None of the squads will accept us for their own sake.

Luo Feng nodded. It was to be expected. Those three squads had been through countless life-and-death battles together, and they cooperated with one another well. If they let in the new soldiers, it would only hinder their cohesion. No matter how kind they might be, they wouldn’t be willing to do that.

Milky Way, Wu He,
said the captain coldly.
You’re on your own for this catastrophe-level task. Do you understand?

Wu He smirked and said,
Of course, we understand.

Luo Feng nodded.
The team captain nodded.
Great.
Then he stopped talking. To him, neither of these new soldiers had enough time to practice the inheritance, and they didn’t even have the military credits to buy valuables or some better inheritance. Unless they got exceedingly lucky, they were bound to die.

Sou! Sou! Sou!
One being after another landed within their designated circles.

Go!
ordered the captain.
Let’s go get the task for this time.

Hong! Hong! Hong! Hong!
There were four teams: one led by the captain, one led by Ku Fa, one led by Yu Luo, and the new-soldier squad that consisted of Luo Feng and Wu He. They immediately flew out and teleported.

After nearly a day, all 39 soldiers arrived at an area dominated by a palace. The strange black palace was surrounded by many sculptures, and there were many great beings here.
Hong!
A light pillar shot toward the soldiers. Voices entered their heads telling them the detailed task from the military. The location was Nine Smoke Marsh! 10,000 military points, which could be gained by killing a true god. Killing a law master was worth one military point. The required proof of killing a true god was to recover its body, and the required proof of killing a law master was its plundered weapons.
As for the deadline: It had to be completed before the next task. Otherwise, there would be punishment.

The description was simple, yet it frightened Luo Feng and Wu He. Kill a true god or law master in Nine Smoke Marsh?

We’re in big trouble,
Wu He said, clearly worried.
It’s Nine Smoke Marsh. Although that territory is not as powerful as Northern True Ocean, it’s a still a great power. There are many true gods and countless law masters. It would be suicide for us to go there.

Wu He had been quite confident before receiving this task. He was powerful, and he had believed that no matter how difficult the task was, he would be able to finish it if he dedicated enough time. However, he crumbled after learning the task.
Luo Feng was nervous. 10,000 military credits! How could they do it?
He’d already seen Nine Smoke Marsh on his way here. It was a swamp surrounded by smoke and mist. While flying over it, he had spotted many true gods. To kill one true god in an era would have been possible for Luo Feng—after 800 eras of training. Of course, the true god couldn’t hide in a supreme true treasure palace!
However, killing a true god in Nine Smoke Marsh would be very difficult for him. The other true gods in Nine Smoke Marsh wouldn’t be foolish enough as to just let Luo Feng and the others attack without any consequence. There were 39 law masters, and a group of true gods from Nine Smoke Marsh could kill them all.
It’s crazy. 10,000 military credits! Luo Feng thought. Even if I shift my target to law masters, I would need to kill 10,000 of them. They are probably well protected in Nine Smoke Marsh… It might be possible to kill ten, but killing too many would certainly alert the true gods. Once surrounded, by a large group of true gods, I wouldn’t be able to make it out, even with Boat of Mausoleum.
Luo Feng was really worried. He had been encircled by many universe supreme masters in Universe Ocean, but there weren’t many universe supreme masters in Universe Ocean. Besides, they had all been suppressed.
In Nine Smoke Marsh, however, there could be hundreds of true gods encircling him, and none of them had their power restrained. He might not be able to get away even in Boat of Mausoleum.
This is madness, thought Luo Feng. Fortunately, true gods of void space won’t meddle in army tasks. Otherwise, I would have no hope.
Military tasks… There was a hidden agreement between the army and the tribal powers and strange beast powers. Squads who were sent to attack a particular power was clearly sent for training purposes. Luo Feng’s squad didn’t pose any threat to Nine Smoke Marsh, so the three true gods of void space wouldn’t interfere. However, true gods could participate!
It’s very difficult to succeed, but if I fail… Luo Feng thought.
According to the military rule, he would be executed!
With the authority of the army, one order could turn all the tribal powers and strange beast powers against them. They wouldn’t be able to get away! If someone had 100,000 military credits, they could use them to save their lives, as merits offset faults. However, 100,000 military credits was an exorbitant sum. Even experienced soldiers didn’t have that many military credits, let alone Luo Feng. If someone did have that many military credits, they would use them to improve their power.

The entire team stayed silent outside the strange palace. Everyone felt the pressure.

Everyone knows the task now,
the team captain said, glancing around.
There’s a required location for the task, which means all the true gods and law masters we kill need to be from Nine Smoke Marsh. When we come back, the military will contact Nine Smoke Marsh to confirm our military credits. If this task wasn’t in Nine Smoke Marsh, we could certainly kill a true god as individual teams, and if we kept doing that, it would only be a matter of time before we succeeded. However, this is Nine Smoke Marsh, so we could be surrounded by a large group of true gods, after which, we won’t be able to get away.
The team captain looked around.
I think… We need to cooperate.
