Chapter 85: Pre-War Conference!

  Through reading "Pharmacist Battlefield Strategy", Xiao Hong knew that most of the time, pharmacists were at the back of the team, providing assistance and treatment, and usually also played a commanding role.

  For a team, similar to a fighting game, usually five people form a group, divided into three roles: assistant, attacker, and meat shield.

  Meat shield is at the front, blocking and absorbing most of the enemy's firepower. The attacker provides attack output, while the assistant coordinates with the whole team.

  The next day, Xiao Hong only worked for a morning and left Da Hong Mei's trip in the afternoon. He took a taxi to Shang Hong Mei's trip.

  First, purchase the materials needed to make the tenth-grade healing tattoos for the mounts. Second, with only two days left until summer vacation, Zhao Qing notified Xiao Hong early in the morning to gather at Shang Hong's tattoo parlor, where they would meet their new teammates and receive specific task assignments.

  As he passed by the Xizhen Academy, through the elegant main gate of the academy, Xiao Hong vaguely saw that on the red sandstone paved playground, nearly a hundred people wearing light armor had gathered. If Xiao Hong was not mistaken, they were the team from the Hongbo Financial Group participating in the summer hunting competition.

  From what he knew earlier, Xiao Hong also understood that these people seemed to be companions but were likely to be potential enemies. Once their interests conflicted, a fight was inevitable.

  Arriving at the entrance of Shang Hong's Mystic Raiment Pavilion, Xiao Hong stepped down from the mystic raiment carriage and quickly walked into the pavilion. Since he had been there a few times before, he was already somewhat familiar with the place.

  According to Zhao Qing's prior notice, he took the elevator to the 15th floor. As soon as the elevator door opened, he saw seven or eight guys wearing magic tattoos and carrying communication magic tattoos, dressed in light armor, with serious expressions, patrolling the corridor.

  At the gate of the upgrade machine, two people were standing. Seeing Xiao Hong walk out, they stretched out their thick arms and blocked Xiao Hong's way.

  Xiao Hong did not respond, and instead pulled out a small card from his pocket, which was the certificate sent by Zhao Qing's men, with an anti-counterfeit watermark personally made by Sang Hongyun.

  Through a special instrument, confirmation of Xiao Hong's credentials was error-free, and the guard put down his arm, pointing to the large door at the end of the corridor, without saying anything.

  Xiao Hongye didn't entangle with the guard too much and quickly walked towards the door that the guard pointed to.

  Slowly pushing open the large door, inside was a gigantic conference room that could accommodate over a hundred people. The lighting was slightly dim, and directly opposite was a huge screen displaying a geographical diagram of the entire Dark Fusion Cave, its size equivalent to four Taiwu Cities, located several kilometers underground.

  On one side of the big screen, Sang Hongyun and Chen Shaojiang sat in a row, with Zhao Qing, the commander-in-chief this time, right behind them.

  Without making a big noise, Xiao Hong casually found a corner seat and sat down.

  Of course, Sang Hongyun sitting next to the giant image of Mo Xun still caught a glimpse of Xiao Hong who seemed to be sneaking around.

  After a few more minutes, some other people who had obtained the qualification to participate also arrived one after another. There were 115 people in total, with twenty or so being at the level of charioteers, and the rest being roughly on the same level as Xiao Hong.

  Apart from Zhao Qing, the lowest was Yu Tu's seventh or eighth grade, and the highest was Yu Zhe's third grade. As for Xiao Hong, he could only be considered the most ordinary one among them.

  "Master, all the selected people have arrived." Zhao Qing said in a low voice to Sang Hongyun after a moment.

  San Hongyun nodded slightly, took the pointer handed over by his assistant, walked onto the podium, and swept his gaze across the crowd below. His expression remained still as he said, "You are all individually selected by me, which is a recognition of your abilities and also the trust that the Shaojiang Group has in you. Remember, once you enter the Dark Fusion Cave, there will be many people who will secretly do evil deeds. If discovered, they will be killed without mercy, regardless of who they are. If anything happens, I'll take responsibility."

  Sang Hongyun had also participated in a summer capture before, where other families' people would secretly do evil deeds, the most typical being when their own side was fighting against a large number of spiritual beasts, someone on the side would get jealous and bring over another large batch from elsewhere, then escape.

  As for whether they should leave or stay, leaving would mean that their previous efforts had been in vain, while staying might result in them being devoured by the two large groups of spiritual beasts.

  Then, Sang Hongyun began to explain the basic tactics of this trip, team allocation, and ways to deal with sudden situations based on his own experience. The most involved were the habits of common spiritual beasts.

  Compared to ordinary animals, the spiritual beasts have a higher IQ and also possess driving force like humans, which can enhance their strength. However, for them, cultivating driving force has become an instinct.

  In tactics, Sang Hongyun also made some adjustments. In the past, riders with slightly stronger and weaker strength would be mixed to form a team to achieve a balance.

  However, this time, Sang Hongyun has made a bold change, that is, the strong and the strong form a team, the weak and the weak form a team, and the strong team responds to the weak team, so as to fully exert the combat advantage of the strong team, as the arrowhead of the army, will not be affected by the weak.

  In this way, it can exert its greatest combat power and conquer some powerful spiritual beasts.

  The pre-war meeting lasted for two hours, and Sang Hongyun explained everything as thoroughly as a teacher sending students to the exam room.

  As for why Sang Hongyun didn't go, the reason is simple. Because neither Tai Wu nor San Jie made a move, he took the initiative to leave T'aiwu City on his own accord, and it's highly likely that he would take advantage of Shao Jiang's absence to make a sneak attack.

  "Now, I announce the list of participants and the captain of each group. The commander-in-chief is Zhao Qing, and the two deputy commanders are Qi Jie and He Nai Xiong..." Sang Hongyun read from the list in his hand with a serious expression.

  Zi Jie and He Nai Xiong were both Tier 3 Beast Tamers, with decent strength. Xiao Hong's name was also on the list, as the leader of the 15th group. The other four members under him were all elite disciples of Sang Hong Yun, two of whom were Tier 10 Beast Tamers and the other two were Tier 9 Beast Tamers, neither strong nor weak, neither good nor bad.

  With the introduction over, Sang Hongyun nodded to the crowd, indicating that they could leave. Those on Xia's capture list were allowed to go to the eleventh floor to select some necessary equipment to bring along.

  Also instruct the members of the group to get familiar with each other's characteristics during this period, so as to better cooperate with each other.

  Walking out of the confidential meeting room, into a spacious hall, Xiao Hong quickly gathered with the members of the fifteen small groups. Four people, each one was peculiar in shape and appearance, among them, one person had a height of over two meters, dark skin, and muscles like steel bars, making him particularly eye-catching.

  There was another guy, thin and dry, less than 1.7 meters tall, with a few freckles on his face.

  And these four people were all old elite medicine boys of Sang Hongyun, let Xiao Hong be the captain of a new team. Although they didn't feel resentful, more or less, they always felt a little unreliable.

  Of course, following Sang Hongyun for many years and under his guidance, this mentality was not reflected on his face, but he still appeared very polite and friendly to Xiao Hong.

  "Don't be polite, I'm just temporarily leading you, I'm also a newcomer, maybe it's just because of professional reasons that I became the captain. From now on, I hope you can give me more guidance." Xiao Hong's expression was calm and full of courtesy. Xiao Hong himself was also very clear that they would become his partners in entering the Dark Fusion Cave, and only by cooperating with each other could they increase their chances of survival.

  Without saying much, the five of them walked slowly towards the eleventh floor. Perhaps these four were familiar with each other, at least they knew each other's names and occupations. Among them was a tall and dark-skinned guy named Hong Feng, which suited him well. The guy standing in front of him was indeed like a mountain. His main specialty was defensive battle tattoos, making him a meat shield, a tenth-level Knight.

  The other three were all attackers, and that thin, dry guy named Li Wen was the only one in the team who had a tattoo, good at using a pair of magic guns, and was also a tenth-level driver.

  Along the way, Li Wen was too petty and let Xiao Hong take a look at a pair of magic guns. The two magic guns were made entirely of red gemstones, semi-transparent in appearance, with extremely fine magic lines on them.

  "Hongyu? Good stuff, just the purity is average, otherwise it should be considered top-grade. The pattern on top, must be San Hongyun's craftsmanship." Xiao Hong smiled slightly and handed the Hongyu magic gun back to Li Wen.

  "Wow, I didn't expect this young brother to recognize it at once, impressive." Li Wen said politely and took another look at Xiao Hong. He looked unassuming, but was able to recognize the Rainbow Jade and Sang Hongyun's craftsmanship at once, clearly not a simple person.

  "I also occasionally saw it in a book and just happened to remember it, nothing strange." Xiao Hong replied politely.

  Soon, Xiao Hong and others arrived at the eleventh floor. This was a warehouse for storing goods with magical symbols.

  Once again, after showing their proof of guardianship, Xiao Hong and the others arrived at Warehouse No. 5, where they could freely choose items. After completing the summer harvest, if they could exchange them according to their contribution value, they could take possession of the selected items.

  As soon as he entered the warehouse, Xiao Hong's expression changed suddenly. In the warehouse of several hundred square meters, there were large and small magic pattern helmets, artifacts, and some ordinary battle patterns piled up.

  As he stepped inside, Xiao Hong's gaze involuntarily swept around him, and it was undeniable that this was his first time seeing so many things related to demonic tattoos with his own eyes.

  Among them, in the center, there is also a miniature magic cannon about one meter long, with great power, but it is not convenient to transport, and it is often used only in positional warfare.

  No doubt, with so many things, Xiao Hong was somewhat dazzled.

  "What are you going to choose?" Xiao Hong looked at the shelves that were over a person tall, planning to take a look first at what they would choose and use that as a reference before deciding what to pick.
