Chapter 225 - 165: Xu Qingfeng! Special Monster Skull Demon!
Inside Workshop No. 1, over a hundred people had gathered by now.
They were men, women, young, and old, except for the elder who had just walked from the ordinary carriage to VIP Carriage No. 1.
There were also seven or eight old people with gray hair.
And plenty of women.
They were all ordinary professionists, but upon hearing that the train was in trouble and a spatial rift had suddenly erupted, they had joined in without hesitation.
At the very front of the crowd were three figures.
The leader was the night watch captain of Chang’an City, Xu Qingfeng!
Behind him were two other figures.
Jia Peidong, Zhu Lianghao.
“I won’t waste words.”
Seeing more and more people coming, Xu Qingfeng began:
“A spatial rift has suddenly erupted ahead, and you all should know that there’s a high chance of a large number of frenzied beasts and demon beasts appearing from the spatial rift.”
“I’ve already notified Chang’an City and the nearest railway town. The latter will arrive in two hours, and the reinforcements from Chang’an City will arrive in four hours.”
“In other words, we need to hold off the beast tide from the spatial rift for four hours to protect the common people on the train.”
“You all here are professionists, and since you’ve decided to come here, I believe you are prepared.”
“Does anyone have any objections now?”
“No!”
“It’s our unshirkable duty to protect the common people!”
“It’s fortunate to have the night watch here, at least there’s leadership!”
“Xu Qingfeng of the Night Watch, I’ve heard of you, a powerful figure just one step away from reaching the epic level…”
People were discussing fervently. Meanwhile, at the entrance to VIP Carriage No. 1, Zheng Cheng and the others had just come in with a young woman named Yang Liuying.
“Sister Liu Qing, you’re weak. Take a seat.”
Yao Zhixue was holding a baby and making him laugh.
Yang Liuying was the young woman’s name.
According to her, she was heading to Beijing for a reunion with her husband.
Unexpectedly, she encountered the eruption of the spatial rift halfway through her journey.
After receiving the summon from the night watch, she stepped forward immediately.
Yang Liuying said, “Don’t be so troublesome, I’m not frail!”
“Quickly listen to what Xu Qingfeng from the night watch is saying.”
After listening, Zheng Cheng said: “He’s assigning tasks to all the professionists…”
In front of the crowd, Xu Qingfeng loudly asked, “Does anyone here have a Level 69 profession?”
“Yes! Me! A Level 69 five-star profession, flame mage!”
“Me too! Level 69 impact warrior!”
“Count me in, Level 69 paladin!”
“And me… Level 69 demon archer!”
“And me also…”
Zheng Cheng looked at Yang Liuying in surprise as she too raised her hand, “Level 69 supporting profession, Aura Priest!”
“Sister Liu Qing, you…”
Yang Liuying blinked and said, “I told you not to underestimate me. I’m not like those weak girls, hahaha…”
The seven Level 69 professionists quickly gathered together, and Zheng Cheng and his two companions also walked up front with Yang Liuying.
Huang Jiu followed behind, looked at Yang Liuying in front of the trio, and asked curiously, “Young lad, who is this…?”
Zheng Cheng whispered, “Sister Liu Qing is a Level 69 support profession…”
“Sss…”
Huang Jiu sucked in a breath of cold air. He was just at Level 39!
Among all the professionists, there was a serious polarization of levels.
Most of the middle and lower-level professionists found it hard to advance after reaching Level 69.
It was very simple.
The task of breaking through Level 69 was very difficult. Middle and lower-level professionists with less than seven stars had a hard time completing it.
As a result, the level of most professionists was capped at Level 69 and below.
Of course, this was also the stage where most professionists accumulated their strength.
They worked hard, honed their battle instincts, improved their skill level, or learned other skills, upgrading their equipment, embedding gems, and other means to enhance their overall strength.
Level 69 was a watershed for all professionists.
The strong were very strong, but the weak… were also very weak.
They hadn’t expected that Yang Liuying, who looked like a tender young wife, would actually be a Level 69 pro!
Xu Qingfeng continued, “Everyone, split into seven teams, with these seven Level 69 professionals as the team leaders. Any objections?”
“No objections!”
“This is the way it should be…”
“The Level 69 Paladin…is Mr. Chen Shan, right? Mr. Chen Shan is a six-star Paladin, his defense is incredibly strong!”
“Ah, that Demon Archer seems to be the regional manager of the Shunfeng Group, Sun Changfeng! I’ve seen him…”
“I also know that Level 69 Assault Soldier…”
The crowd stirred again; Xu Qingfeng immediately interrupted, “All melee professionalists, Team up with Paladin Chen Shan as the team leader and Chu Long, the Assault Soldier as the co-leader, to build the first line of defense on the small hill outside the car!”
Xu Qingfeng pointed out the window.
The train they were on was now close to the northern Qin area, known as the most famous Loess Plateau within Qinzhou, with varying heights and numerous hills all around.
At some places, there were deep ravines, perfect for defensive battles.
“All magic attack professionals, with Flame Mage Ms. Wang Yan as your team leader, distribute yourselves on the open area behind the hills.”
Xu Qingfeng continued: “Then separate ten melee professionalists to protect the team of the magic professionists!”
As the mages have the strongest attack power among the professionists, there were a total of eleven in the entire carriage.
Two of them were at Level 69, while the rest were all about Levels 30 and 40.
“The remaining support professionals will have Ms. Yang Liuqing as the team leader, powering up all professionalists at will!”
Once Xu Qingfeng had arranged everyone, all the professionalists in the hall immediately divided into several teams and went to their respective team leaders.
In the midst of the confusion, Yao Zhixue proactively went to the magic professionists’ team.
Meanwhile, Zheng Cheng stayed by Yang Liuqing’s side.
After all, his primary profession is a Priest.
The Chick, on the other hand, voluntarily went to the melee professionists’ team.
“By the way.” Xu Qingfeng suddenly asked: “Is there anyone here who is an Assassin or Thief professionalist? I need to know the specific information about the space cracks and the situation of the monsters within.”
Everyone looked at each other after the question, and no one stepped forward.
Maybe there were, or maybe there weren’t.
If there were, they didn’t want to step out.
After all, going alone to investigate space cracks is extremely dangerous.
“I will!”
Seeing that the dark clouds outside were getting more severe, Zheng Cheng still raised his hand.
“Brother Cheng!”
“Zheng Cheng!”
In front of the crowd, Xu Qingfeng, also noticed Zheng Cheng: “Why are you here… Aren’t you, Zhixue and Chick going to the school?”
“Yes, Sir Xu.”
Zheng Cheng nodded.
During that one month when he followed Zhao Yunxiao on missions, he had met Xu Qingfeng twice.
They weren’t close, but they were not strangers to each other.
He did not expect Xu Qingfeng to be on this train too.
“That’s good, Yunxiao told me that you have an ability to inspect…”
He stopped midway, waved at Zheng Cheng and asked, “Can you inspect the situation of the space crack ahead?”
Zheng Cheng nodded: “I can, as long as there are creatures in the space crack.”
“Then you better try.”
“Okay.”
Zheng Cheng immediately activated the Central Radar Life Monitoring Technique, extending it towards the distant space crack.
At this time, his Central Radar Life Monitoring Technique was as high as Level 6, with a monitoring range of 3,000 square meters!
Soon, through Zheng Cheng’s Central Radar Life Monitoring Technique, countless red dots immediately appeared from the direction of the space crack.
There were at least several hundreds of them, rapidly rushing towards them.
“There are monsters!”
Zheng Cheng immediately said, “And there are quite a few of them, at least four hundred or five hundred.”
“Oh?” Xu Qingfeng’s eyes flashed: “Can you determine what kind of monsters they are?”
“Yes!” Zheng Cheng nodded. “There are two kinds of monsters. One is the common Ghosts, their levels range from Level 30 to Level 60.”
“The other monster is called… Skeleton Demon?”
“What kind of monster is that?”
“Skeleton Demon?”
Xu Qingfeng’s face slightly changed, “That’s bad, they are the Fallen Ones!”
