Chapter 137 Falcon Assault Team Was Battered

"Senior, is there anything I can do for you?" Lu Yao was aware that Miao Fu needed his help. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken so much trouble to lure him here. Moreover, Lu Yao sympathized with him for his sufferings.

"Young man, I've talked so much. May I know your name?" Miao Fu asked.

He felt much better after pouring his heart out. He was very grateful that Lu Yao had listened patiently to his tragic story. Lu Yao's gentlemanly manners left him a good impression.

"My name is Lu Yao, just call me Xiao Lu!" Lu Yao had figured out the whole thing and thus he talked to Miao Fu respectfully.

"Lu Yao!" Miao Fu thought for a moment and said. "That's a great name!"

Lu Yao smiled in response to his compliment. "Senior, tell me about it. Although Jingtian and I made just one deal, we felt like seeing an old friend at first sight. I'm glad to be of some help!"

Miao Fu thought for a moment before saying, "Xiao Lu, thank you. I have indeed led you here to ask for a favor."

"I have tried all kinds of methods to get rid of the insect poison that Miao Lu planted in my body, but none of them worked. You saw my eyes. This insect poison is eroding my sanity. I know that my last day is coming. Before that, I want to talk to someone I trust the most. So, I wonder if you can bring Jingtian here." After revealing his purpose, Miao Fu looked at Lu Yao nervously. He acted like a child currying favor with his mother for candy, much afraid of being rejected.

"Senior, didn't you say the insect poison was very strange? As long as a descendant of the Miao bloodline gets close to you, you will lose control and hurt them. If I brought Jingtian here, wouldn't you..." Lu Yao didn't finish his speech, but his meaning was clear.

"Hehe, don't worry about it. It's true that I can't get rid of the insect poison, but I have traveled to every corner of Yunwu Mountain and tasted various herbs in the past two years. My hard work paid off as I finally refined a crucial pill!" Miao Fu took out a grape-sized and green pill from his hairy waist and held it in his palm so that Lu Yao could see it clearly.

"What is this pill?" Lu Yao knew how to refine pills. The moment Miao Fu took it out, he found it different.

The pill looked green at first, and the color seemed to change as he gazed longer. Despite the distance, a strong fragrance wafted into his nostrils. He felt refreshed and revitalized.

"I haven't named it yet. It's the only successful product of my painstaking effort in the past two years. Therefore, I have to test it with someone I trust. If the pill works, I'll be able to interact with a Miao decedent for 24 hours. If it fails, I'll kill myself before I hurt my clansman." Miao Fu explained patiently.

So it was. No wonder Miao Fu had taken the trouble to lure him here. It turned out that he wasn't sure whether Lu Yao was willing to help and whether the pill he had taken great pains to make could enable him to tell his last wish to a Miao decedent.

"Alright, I am willing to help you, but Jingtian may not believe me. I mean, this is eccentric!" Lu Yao agreed to Miao Fu's request but voiced his concern.

From his hairy body, Miao Fu took out a jade ring and placed it on a rock along with the green pill. Then he took two steps back.

He did this to make Lu Yao feel safe and at ease.

After a moment of hesitation, Lu Yao picked them up and placed them into a box. Miao Fu then continued, "Give this jade ring to Jingtian and tell him that I am waiting in the mountains. He should keep it a secret and come alone. After entering Yunwu Mountain, he should take the pill immediately. I will find you by following the scent."

Lu Yao kept everything in mind. He set the time with Miao Fu and turned to leave.

No sooner had he taken a few steps than Miao Fu's voice came over again. "Xiao Lu, thank you for helping the Miao people. I promise I'll reward you when you come back with Jingtian. To express my gratitude, I will give you a special gift!"

Lu Yao turned back and asked curiously, "What is it?"

"You'll know!" Before Lu Yao could say another word, the man quickly maneuvered and disappeared.

Now Lu Yao realized that Miao Fu had lowered his speed when he lured him here. Given his lightning maneuvering just now, Lu Yao would find it hard to catch up with him.

He looked in the direction Miao Fu had disappeared for a while before realizing the day was breaking. The drill would end after another day and night. They would finish their last operation by midnight.

Without further ado, he gathered his strength and headed back.

...

...

The story told by Miao Fu was like a myth.

The Elite Team also had a thrilling and nervous night.

As the dawn approached, the names or codenames kept appearing on the signal receivers. In less than an hour, Xu Long found that only Hong Yan, Su Li, and Tie Feinan weren't eliminated. Every member of the Elite Team was excited about the news.

Meanwhile, they were worried because it had been three or four hours since Lu Yao went after the shadow. Although he wasn't eliminated, he didn't show up. The team members had searched for a long time but failed to find him.

In the end, Xu Long told everyone to go back to the place they lost Lu Yao. They would wait for him there.

...

...

At a secluded stream in Yunwu Mountain, three discomfited soldiers in camouflage outfits lay prone and gulped down the water.

A burly soldier who had drunk his fill kicked the grass behind him. He lay on his back and cursed, "Damn! What the hell was that? We were about to rout the Elite Team, but birds and animals came out of nowhere. Like being possessed, they attacked us like hell. As a result, Vulture and Eagle were discovered by the disguisers. Li Tao and Wang Dan were injured and had to quit..."

The other two soldiers also drank their fill while the burly soldier was chattering. One of them said, "Su Li, so what? Have you given up hope or lost faith in the Falcon Assault Team?"

"Captain, that's not what I mean. I was just complaining about the birds and beasts!" The burly soldier was one of Falcon's iron triangle, Su Li. The other two were Captain Hong Yan and Sniper Tie Feinan.

"Captain, what should we do?" Tie Feinan asked dejectedly.

Hong Yan glanced at his two right-hand men and replied, "The three of us are Falcon Assault Team's strongest members. The three of us can still form a complete task force. Su Li, you will be the assaulter. Feinan, you will be the observer and sniper. I will be the coordinator and commander. Even though only the three of us are left, we must win. There is no such a word as defeat in Falcon Assault Team's dictionary!"

With that, Hong Yan reached out his right hand. Encouraged by his words, Su Li and Tie Feinan stretched out their right hands and placed them above Hong Yan's hand. Then, the three of them put their heads together to cheer up.

One minute later, the three of them felt enlivened. They collected their equipment and marched towards the field of the final battle.

...

...

Lu Yao ran at a much faster speed when he headed back to the cliff. After around half an hour, he had covered approximately over 20 kilometers.

He was somehow surprised and wondered why he didn't realize he had followed Miao Fu such a long distance!

When Lu Yao almost reached the cliff, he didn't show up rashly. Instead, he tried to contact his team by chirping, which was their special signal. He didn't run in Xu Long's direction until a response came over.

Those soldiers were amused to see Lu Yao in ragged clothes.

"Staff Officer Lu, have you been to the Paris Fashion Week?" Wang Peng joked. "You're so stylish!"

After hearing that, Lu Yao looked at himself and also felt funny.
