Chapter 340 The Final Trial Begins
In the far west of the Great Xia Dynasty, on the edge of the mist.
A towering, pure black stone tablet stands silently.
Li Jie and Xian'er slowly landed beside the base of the national stalagmite.
Do you know where this thing comes from?
Upon hearing Li Jie's question, Xian'er shook her head blankly.
"Before that upheaval, the four of us sisters were already seriously injured and did not participate in the casting process of the National Stele, so we did not know what happened at that time."
"The gods of Great Xia have shattered their cultivation to protect the people of Great Xia and ensure their eternal peace."
"Is that so........"
The two were so in sync that Xian'er understood Li Jie's meaning in just a few words.
This national treasure stele was forged by the gods of the Great Xia Dynasty before their reincarnation using their own cultivation and flesh and blood.
But how could he know about things that happened a hundred years ago?
"So what do we do now?"
"Let's go back. I remember there's a border post not far from here. Let's stay there for a while."
"it is good."
About five minutes later, several small buildings painted white and covered with red roofs came into view.
This is the westernmost border defense battalion of Daxia, the Kayushi 019 Border Defense Company's base.
Is it alright for us to visit so suddenly?
Did you bring your identification with you?
"No, How about you?"
"I didn't bring any either..."
"What should I do?"
"Why not give it a try? I have a cloak and emblem to prove my identity anyway."
"also."
At the entrance of the border defense camp, Li Jie cleared his throat, enveloped his voice with his inner energy, and shouted loudly.
"The Great Xia Night Watch Special Operations Division has come to visit. We request that the garrison come out for a chat."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xian'er covered her forehead and sighed.
What a terrible opening line. What's the difference between saying this and coming here to cause trouble?
In less than two minutes, the heavy iron gate at the entrance of the Kayush Border Defense Company slowly opened from the inside.
Four soldiers dressed in cashmere camouflage cotton coats walked out of the camp in neat rows.
"Report! I am the head of the 019 Border Defense Company in Kashgar. I need to verify your identity."
As he spoke, the soldier, who was completely covered up, reached out and asked Li Jie for his identification.
"Um, we were in a hurry when we left and didn't bring our identification. Do you think it would be okay to use our cloaks and crests to prove our identities?"
"Hold on."
After Li Jie handed his insignia and cloak to the border guard, the latter jogged back to the barracks to verify his identity.
Although this area can be considered one of the most arduous border defense regions in the Great Xia Dynasty, the soldiers stationed here possess extremely high military skills.
Before long, the soldier who had gone to verify his identity jogged over and respectfully handed Li Jie's cloak and insignia to him.
"Director Li, your identity has been verified through the internal military network. Please enter the camp!"
After speaking, the four soldiers took a step to the left and right almost simultaneously, and saluted straight in front of the center.
Seeing this scene, even the fairy who was used to the world's splendor couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.
After entering the barracks, the border garrison company commander removed his protective gear, poured a cup of still slightly cloudy boiled water from a thermos for Li Jie and his companion, and said with a smile.
"Director Li, what mission do you have in mind for coming to the border? If you need support from the Kashgar border garrison, please feel free to ask."
"It's a bit of an exaggeration, but I just need to stay here for a few days. You know how strong the sandstorms are in the west. If I were to stay in the wilderness for a few days, I'm afraid no one would recognize me."
"That's true. We may not have much else here, but we have a lot of sand."
Through these few words of conversation, the border garrison commander was surprised to find that this high-ranking leader from Beijing was not at all pretentious, and was even quite approachable.
This made him feel a bit more favorably toward the person.
"Our barracks are mostly empty. I'll have my men tidy up the barracks on the east side in a bit. You can stay as long as you like."
"That's annoying."
Now, Li Jie had found a place to stay for the time being. The border defense company still had a mission to complete, so after a brief chat, Li Jie took Xian'er to the barracks on the east side to rest.
..........
On the other side, Lin Qiye and his group also led all the new recruits in a grand procession towards the Western Frontier.
Because of the large number of people, in order to ensure the safety of all the new recruits, Li Jie also arranged for [Masked], [Phoenix], and Lin Qiye to accompany them.
As for the mysterious and heinous events within the Great Xia territory...
Then Bu Li will have to make a few more trips. With him, the strongest person under the ceiling, there's no doubt those mysterious figures won't be able to cause any trouble.
"Seven Nights, you're so smart. If you hadn't found such a good place, we probably wouldn't have been able to fit over a thousand people in there."
"You bet there are some good prospects among this year's recruits."
"Hey, have you guys noticed that after Brother Li took Fang Mo away, he seemed a little different when we met again this time?"
"Indeed, at first glance, that kid looked sickly, but now he's much better. Not only is his breathing much longer, but he also looks very energetic."
"Old Cao, you don't mean to say that Brother Lei has a secret formula for prolonging life, do you?"
"Secret your grandma's leg."
Swearing is not a good habit!
"........"
Although it was only a three-day holiday, the journey from Beijing to Xinjiang was far too long. Even with traffic police blocking roads in various places, the bus carrying the new recruits still traveled for a whole day and night.
When the military buses stopped at the edge of the Pamir Plateau, the new recruits all jumped off the buses with blank expressions.
"What is this for us?"
"Deserts, snowfields, and vultures..."
"That's normal. Didn't you guys notice the car was always heading west?"
“That’s right. If I’m not mistaken, we should be at the edge of the Pamir Plateau now. Any deeper… that’s truly uninhabited territory…”
"Could it be... that we're going to be assessed here?"
"It seems so..."
"Those instructors are so inhumane..."
"Shh!! Keep your voice down, the instructors are everywhere!"
"Then just pretend I didn't say anything."
Once everyone had assembled, the more than one thousand people were neatly arranged into three square formations.
Although their graduation assessments were all the same, under Li Jie's instructions, all the new recruits were divided into three groups, with each of the three special teams responsible for the safety of one formation.
"Newbies!"
Lin Qiye stood on the Somersault Cloud, enveloped his voice with his powerful spiritual energy, and shouted loudly.
"Are you ready to go to hell?!"
