Chapter 168 The pain pierces the heavenly spirit! Su Su’s comfort

At the foot of the mountain.

After the battle just now, both the Jiuchongtian Guild and the Qingfeng City troops suffered heavy losses.

When Chen Ming returned to the team, he could feel the terrible low-pressure atmosphere.

Everyone looked downcast.

There was a heavy atmosphere in the entire team.

Even the queen, who has always had no brains, pursed her lips tightly at this moment and stared at the injured people with clenched pink fists...

She is remorseful.

Regret that I was unable to save these people.

In her opinion, she plays a heroic role as a savior.

You shouldn't be helpless at a time like this.

…

Chen Ming appears.

Brother Gang came up with a sad look on his face.

"Boss, our losses this time have been too heavy..."

"More than a third of our brothers were killed."

“There’s a huge loss of experience.”

"The only thing worth celebrating is..."

"Fortunately, we were killed by NPCs and they wouldn't pick up our equipment."

"So it's just a simple loss of experience."

After hearing this, Chen Ming nodded.

"Comfort your brothers."

"But don't use too much force."

"After all, this is an S-level mission, so it's natural that we will encounter such trouble."

"How can there be any reward without effort?"

"Any mission above S level means both opportunities and risks."

"Tell everyone, cheer up. As long as you complete the task, you can make back these losses in one go!"

"Nothing at all!"

Brother Gang nodded.

He understood what Chen Ming meant.

At this time, everyone needs encouragement and morale, but we cannot go too far.

If it is too much, it will easily make everyone afraid.

It must be done with inducement.

As a social worker who has been in the workplace for many years, Brother Gang instantly understood the leader's intention. After patting his chest and ensuring that it was covered by him, he turned around and boosted his morale.

For Jiuchongtian Guild, it shouldn’t be difficult to boost morale with Brother Gang and Sister Shazi.

but……

On Edward's side, it's not that simple.

Chen Ming walked to the edge of the team.

In the past, Edward always liked to stand in the center of the team.

Enjoying the popularity of the soldiers.

Enjoy your leadership position.

But at this moment.

But he was sitting alone in the corner of the team.

Facing the gap in the valley where he had just escaped from death.

Chen Ming walked in, and when he got close to him, he realized...

This guy is not sitting on the ground at all.

It's just that the cloak behind his back blocked his movements, making Chen Ming unable to see clearly.

I found it when I walked around to the front.

He actually knelt on his knees.

Heading towards the gap in the valley... Kneel down on your knees!

Chen Ming originally had some words of comfort.

But it got stuck in my throat at this moment.

I couldn't say anything.

In the end, Chen Ming chose to sit next to Edward, accompanying him without saying a word, and looking towards the valley.

Of all the players present.

Perhaps only Chen Ming could understand Edward's sadness.

Because only he understands...

These people are not NPCs made of data.

But a living, real life.

The two men sat side by side without saying a word.

Behind them, the army led by the two men and the people from the Nine Heavens Guild were also waiting quietly, with no intention of disturbing the two men.

A long time passed.

Edward finally raised his lowered head.

His eyes were blood red.

But he managed not to shed a single tear.

He doesn't have the decadence of a lost dog.

There was only anger like a volcano erupting.

"who are they?"

Edward's low, yet murderous voice sounded.

Chen Ming knew that Edward was asking about the culprit.

But he couldn't get any information, so he just shook his head helplessly, "I don't know."

Silence again.

But this time the silence was not as long and dead as before.

After a while, Edward picked up the battle helmet that he had just taken off and placed at his side, stood up firmly, and put it on.

"The other party wants to prevent us from going to Dusk Forest."

"Then I want to go there and take a look!"

"Such unstable factors are not allowed to exist near the boundaries of Qingfeng City!"

With that said, he stood up.

After taking a deep look at the valley.

He turned his head sharply.

He waved his hand resolutely.

"Soldiers, move forward!"

"Target, Twilight Forest!!!"

Not a single soldier in the army objected.

Even though he was seriously injured, he managed to stand up.

Everyone in Jiuchongtian Guild was infected by such an atmosphere.

They all stood up.

But Chen Ming patted Edward on the shoulder at this time, "I don't think there is a need to rush to the Twilight Forest."

"We have just experienced a fierce battle so far and need to recuperate."

"Why don't you come to our guild territory to take a rest for a while."

"Our guild's territory is nearby... Although it's not as prosperous as Qingfeng City, it's good to take a break for a while."

Edward frowned slightly.

He knew that Chen Ming was right.

But he...

Don't dare to rest.

At this moment, he seemed to feel dozens of pairs of old guys' eyes staring at him in the valley behind him.

Like a awn on the back.

He couldn't say the word "rest".

Just when Edward was deadlocked and didn't want to let go.

Su Su suddenly came up.

She smiled at Chen Ming, then turned to look at Edward, "I think sir is right, the soldiers also need to rest... By the way, Sir Edward, I don't think your sacrificed comrades will see it either." Are you making irrational decisions because you are burdened with guilt?"

"They definitely want you to take revenge."

"But...it's definitely not the brainless kind."

Chen Ming looked at Su Su with some surprise.

This girl...

To be able to say such a thing.

In her mind, isn't this just a game?

Edward... is just an NPC.

Will anyone be passionate about NPCs in the game?

Does anyone feel for the dead soldiers in the game?

Su Su was a little embarrassed to be stared at by Chen Ming.

He quickly lowered his head and said with some shame, "Sir, please, please don't look at me like this..."

"I know this is a bit childish..."
