Chapter 15 Preparations before departure.
Chapter 15 Preparations before departure.
After successfully assembling their unique team, Jun Luochuan immediately threw themselves into the intense yet well-organized preparations for departure. They were well aware that the mission was far from arduous, and any negligence could lead to irreversible consequences.
Jun Luochuan stood in the center of the room, the table in front of him covered with various maps and documents. His gaze was focused and sharp, as if he wanted to etch every detail into his mind. "This mission will be anything but simple; we must be fully prepared," he muttered to himself, his tone filled with determination and resolve.
Su Yao skipped into the room, holding a string of candied hawthorns in her hand. While eating, she mumbled, "Jun Luochuan, don't be so nervous. We'll definitely be fine."
Jun Luochuan rolled his eyes at her and said irritably, "All you know is how to eat. Don't you even realize how important this mission is?"
Su Yao swallowed the candied hawthorn in her mouth and said with a grin, "Oh, I'm just replenishing my energy. I can't do without you all in the preparations."
Jun Luochuan shook his head helplessly and continued studying the map in his hand.
“First, we need enough pills,” Jun Luochuan said. “Pills are crucial for saving lives when someone is injured.”
Su Yao nodded, "Then I'll contact the senior brothers in the alchemy room and ask them to prepare more for us."
After saying that, Su Yao rushed out.
Jun Luochuan watched her retreating figure, a slight smile playing on his lips. This girl, though sometimes carefree, is reliable in crucial moments.
Then, Jun Luochuan began to organize his weapons. He held a sharp sword in his hand, gently stroking the blade and feeling its cold touch. "Weapons are our partners in battle, and we must ensure they are sharp and in good condition."
At this moment, another member of the team, Xiao Li, walked in.
"Brother Jun, I'm here to help," said Xiao Li.
Jun Luochuan glanced at him and said, "You've come at the right time. Help me wipe these weapons clean and check for any damage."
Xiao Li responded and immediately got to work.
Jun Luochuan then began to consider tactical arrangements. "The terrain at this mission location is complex, and we need to develop multiple response plans." He sketched on paper, constantly simulating various possible scenarios in his mind.
After a while, Su Yao returned.
"The pills are all sorted out. My senior brother said he'll give us the best," Su Yao said proudly.
Jun Luochuan nodded. "Well done. Next, we'll need some defensive magic items."
"Leave this to me, I know where to find it," Su Yao said, patting her chest.
Jun Luochuan looked at her with some suspicion, "Don't mess this up for me."
"Don't worry!" Su Yao blinked and ran out again.
Jun Luochuan continued working, compiling a detailed list of supplies, including food, water, tents, and more.
"These supplies can't be ignored either; we don't know how long we'll be out here," Jun Luochuan muttered to himself.
Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a team member rushed in.
"Something's wrong, Jun Luochuan, there's trouble outside."
Jun Luochuan frowned. "What's going on?"
It turned out that another team was jealous of them getting the mission and deliberately sent someone to sabotage them.
Jun Luochuan snorted coldly, "Let's go take a look."
Upon exiting, I saw several arrogant individuals making a loud commotion.
“You think you can complete this mission? You’re dreaming,” one of them said.
Jun Luochuan stepped forward and looked at them coldly, "If you're so capable, go and earn the mission yourself. Don't try to be a scoundrel here."
The other party was intimidated by Jun Luochuan's imposing manner, but still stubbornly said, "Hmph, just you wait and see, you will definitely fail."
Jun Luochuan ignored them and turned back to his room.
"Don't let these guys interfere with our preparations," Jun Luochuan said to his team.
Everyone nodded and continued with their work.
Su Yao returned, carrying several defensive magical artifacts.
"Look, I found it," Su Yao said.
Jun Luochuan checked it and nodded in satisfaction, "Not bad, thank you for your hard work."
As time went by, the preparations were nearing completion. But Jun Luochuan was still worried, so he carefully checked all the items one last time.
"There must be no omissions," Jun Luochuan thought to himself.
That evening, everyone gathered together to discuss the final details.
"Once we enter the mission area, we must remain vigilant and be ready to respond to any emergencies," Jun Luochuan said.
The team members listened attentively, occasionally offering their own thoughts and suggestions.
Su Yao suddenly asked, "What if we encounter an enemy we can't defeat?"
Jun Luochuan smiled and said, "If you can't beat them, run away. As long as you're alive, you can always make a comeback."
Everyone laughed.
After the discussion, everyone went back to rest and recharge.
Jun Luochuan lay in bed, unable to fall asleep. He reviewed the preparations in his mind over and over again, thinking about possible problems and solutions.
"I hope everything goes well," Jun Luochuan prayed silently.
The next morning, sunlight streamed into the courtyard. Jun Luochuan got up early to begin the final checks.
The team members got up one after another, their faces filled with anticipation and nervousness.
"Is everyone ready?" Jun Luochuan asked.
"Ready!" the team members answered in unison.
Jun Luochuan looked at everyone and said, "Alright, let's go!"
The team set off in a grand procession, carrying ample supplies and unwavering faith, heading towards the mission location.
Throughout the journey, Jun Luochuan kept reminding everyone to pay attention to their surroundings.
"There might be monsters lurking here, everyone be careful," Jun Luochuan said.
Su Yao stayed close to Jun Luochuan, saying, "With you here, I'm not afraid."
Suddenly, a monster rushed out of the forest.
"Prepare for battle!" Jun Luochuan shouted.
The team members quickly assumed fighting stances and engaged in a fierce battle with the monster.
Jun Luochuan unleashed powerful magic and subdued the monster in no time.
“Keep moving forward,” Jun Luochuan said.
After several days of travel, they finally arrived near the mission location.
Jun Luochuan stopped everyone and reiterated the key points and precautions of the task.
"Remember, we are a team, and we must cooperate and support each other," Jun Luochuan said.
The team members nodded.
"Alright, prepare to enter the mission location," Jun Luochuan said.
Everyone took a deep breath and followed Jun Luochuan into that mysterious and dangerous place.
Upon entering the mission location, they immediately felt an immense pressure.
"Everyone be careful, the spiritual energy here is very chaotic," Jun Luochuan said.
Su Yao looked around curiously, "This place feels so mysterious."
Jun Luochuan glared at her. "Don't wander off. Stay with the group."
They walked forward cautiously when they suddenly heard a strange sound.
"What is that sound?" someone asked.
Jun Luochuan made a shushing gesture, "Quiet, there might be danger."
Just then, a group of dark figures darted out from behind them.
"They're the enemy!" Jun Luochuan shouted.
The team members immediately went into battle mode and engaged in fierce combat with the enemy.
While fighting, Jun Luochuan observed the enemy's movements, searching for their weaknesses.
"Su Yao, attack from the left," Jun Luochuan shouted.
Su Yao immediately acted according to his instructions and successfully disrupted the enemy's formation.
After a fierce battle, they finally repelled the enemy.
"Everyone, take a break and check if anyone is injured," Jun Luochuan said.
The team members sat down one by one, adjusting their state of mind.
Su Yao moved closer to Jun Luochuan, "That was close!"
Jun Luochuan smiled and said, "This is just the beginning. Who knows how many dangers await us ahead."
After a short rest, they continued on their way.
As they walked, they came to a valley.
"This valley looks dangerous, everyone be careful," Jun Luochuan said.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a sudden gust of wind swept through the valley.
"Oh no, it's a wind spell," Jun Luochuan said.
The team members were blown about by the wind, some even losing their balance.
Jun Luochuan cast a defensive spell to shield everyone from the fierce wind.
"Hurry up, get out of here!" Jun Luochuan shouted.
Led by Jun Luochuan, the team members quickly left the valley.
In the journey that followed, they encountered various traps and obstacles, but with Jun Luochuan's skillful handling and the close cooperation of his teammates, they overcame them one by one.
Finally, they arrived at the core area of the mission.
"Everyone be careful, this might be our final destination," Jun Luochuan said.
The team members were on high alert and moved forward cautiously.
Just then, a huge monster appeared in front of them.
"What is this?" someone exclaimed.
Jun Luochuan stared at the monster. "Whatever it is, we must defeat it."
The team members unleashed their strongest spells and launched an attack on the monster.
The monster was not to be outdone, and opened its mouth to spew out a burst of flames.
"Get out of the way!" Jun Luochuan shouted.
The team members quickly took cover and continued attacking the monster.
After a fierce battle, the monster finally fell to the ground.
"We did it!" the team members cheered.
Jun Luochuan looked at everyone and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
"It's not over yet, we need to find the quest item," Jun Luochuan said.
Everyone started searching the surrounding area.
After some effort, they finally found the quest item.
"Great, we can go back and report now," Su Yao said excitedly.
Jun Luochuan nodded. "Everyone, pack your things and get ready to return."
On their return journey, they remained vigilant to prevent any enemy attacks.
Finally, they returned safely to their sect.
"We're back!" the team members shouted.
The members of the sect gathered around to congratulate them.
Jun Luochuan looked at everyone, feeling a great sense of accomplishment.
