In no time, Ren Xiao brought Chen Zao to the base of the Divine Bow Corps.
This place is a steep peak on the main cliff of Linglong Cliff.
Along the way, there are countless tall arrow towers.
During wartime, this was the most brutal part of the Western Front.
Countless Deep Sea Beasts were shot into porcupines by the Divine Bow Corps along this cliffside path; the scene was truly one of carnage, with bodies strewn everywhere and rivers of blood flowing!
At this moment, more than two months have passed since the last wave of attacks by the Deep Sea Army, yet the strong smell of blood still lingers along the route.
Beast blood and human blood have soaked into the rocks of the cliff, causing many strange flowers to bloom above.
Like the Dead Zone on the main slope of Luohan Slope, the flowers blooming here are also a deep crimson color.
The long, eerie petals unfold as if the souls from across the shore are crying out in despair.
When the wind blows, a scent of rosemary mixed with a foul odor can cause weak-willed civilians to hallucinate, potentially leading them to jump off the cliff in despair.
For warriors who have consumed Beast Oil to enhance their spirits and strength, this rosemary holds little allure but stirs up their deep-seated memories of brutal warfare.
Anyone who smells this death-laden fragrance will not feel good.
Typically, military bases would actively clear out such demonic flowers to prevent their growth.
However, the Divine Bow Corps does the opposite, allowing these eerie flowers to flourish on the cliffs, constantly reminding archers that brutal warfare is just around the corner.
After all, they were stationed at the West Gate of Luohanpo Base.
Even during peaceful months, the Divine Bow Corps could not let their guard down; they had to remain vigilant against enemy ambushes at all times.
The atmosphere in the Divine Bow Corps was markedly different from that of other military camps of the Ren Family Army.
Here, security was tight. Even at night, all the arrow towers were brightly lit, with longbowmen on constant alert.
Walking into the Divine Bow Corps for the first time, Chen Zao felt immense pressure.
With every few steps he took, he would feel a night vision red dot aimed at his chest by a skilled archer, making him feel as if he was being targeted for a sniper shot.
He genuinely feared that if an archer slipped up, an arrow might come flying toward him, which would be tragic.
If he were to die inexplicably in this cursed place, he would undoubtedly be considered the unluckiest web novel protagonist in history.
Even someone as familiar as Ren Xiao would occasionally find themselves surrounded by a flurry of jittery red dots while walking through the Divine Bow Corps camp, causing Chen Zao's scalp to tingle.
Ren Xiao walked confidently with her chest out, showing no fear whatsoever.
Seeing Chen Zao enter the Divine Bow Corps without a smile and noticeably slow his pace, it was as if he were a black panther with every muscle tensed, ready to dodge an arrow at any moment.
Ren Xiao thought of something and chuckled as she climbed onto Chen Zao's broad shoulder. Covering her mouth with her hand, she whispered in his ear, "Chef Chen, you don’t need to be afraid. The red dots on us are just empty arrows aiming at us; there are no real arrows. This is my Third Sister's clever idea to scare off all the outsiders who enter the Divine Bow Corps."
"Wow! So that's how it is! Your Third Sister is really crafty!"
Chen Zao finally relaxed and took bigger steps, no longer afraid of making mistakes.
"Haha, no one has ever called my Third Sister cunning; everyone thinks it's her wisdom."
"Wisdom, my foot! That's just being cunning!"
Ren Xiao chuckled and said, "Chef Chen, it's fine for us to chat like this privately, but you mustn't say that in front of my Third Sister, and definitely not in front of the Divine Bow Corps. Otherwise, those archers who admire my Third Sister might just switch to real arrows on us."
"Understood, I'm not an idiot."
"Haha."
The two laughed all the way to the Clifftop Archery Corps Commander's Office.
Compared to the Imperial Guard's Commander's Office, the Divine Bow Corps' Commander's Office was much larger.
It resembled a temple built on a cliff with multiple entrances, lacking any grandeur.
The broken walls and the bloodstains that couldn't be wiped away, along with the strange flowers growing on the beams, commanded respect for this Commander's Office that had withstood countless bloodbaths during the Beast Soldier's waves of attack.
Ren Ling's War Strategist Office was located within the Commander's Office.
It occupied several large rooms, larger than the combined space of Ren Long and his family's living quarters.
This clearly indicated how significant Ren Ling's position was in Ren Long's heart.
If it weren't for Ren Ling, Ren Long would never have been able to manage Linglong Cliff so vividly and distinctively.
With her identity as Seventh Sister, Ren Xiao had no trouble bringing guests in and out of the Divine Bow Corps, but to enter the Commander's Office, she needed to have the guard announce her before being allowed in.
Soon, the tall guard who went in to announce her came back out.
With a poker face, he told Ren Xiao, "I'm sorry, Seventh Sister, but Third Sister has already had dinner and is currently at the Celebration Concert with Young Master Hu and several other young masters. She doesn't want to eat the feast prepared by the chef you invited. If you want to join her for singing and festivities, you can go in and find her. But please send this chef away."
Excited to come but faced with a closed door, Chen Zao felt helpless and said, "It really isn't easy to see your Third Sister."
Ren Xiao didn't want Chen Zao to leave disappointed and said, "I'll go in and talk to my Third Sister personally! If she tries your feast, she'll definitely thank me for inviting you tonight! Wait for me here, Chef Chen; I'll be right back."
With that, Ren Xiao stepped through the doors of the Commander's Office, leaving Chen Zao alone outside.
The two tall guards at the entrance tightened their grips on their swords, blocking the door and raising their chins in a proud and vigilant manner, not allowing Chen Zao to follow her inside.
Chen Zao shook his head helplessly and walked over to a nearby streetlamp to clean his precious Silver Pot.
This item was a national treasure with a history of over a thousand years, yet it was being treated as a urinal by the Apocalyptic People. Chen Zao was truly speechless.
He needed to clean it quickly; he couldn't let the urine of that Ren Fourth Young Master tarnish the national treasure.
Water in the apocalypse was all contaminated; no matter how much it was purified, it still had an unpleasant odor.
Every time Chen Zao came to the apocalypse, he would bring a large supply of pure water from his storage space.
To highlight the value of the national treasure, Chen Zao took out a bucket of pure water from the storage space and began to wash the Silver Pot with the precious, odorless pure water that the Apocalyptic People could never access.
The two guards were dumbfounded as they watched Chen Zao washing the Urinal, which had just been purchased by Ren Xiao, under the streetlight.
Was this guy here to cook or to wash a Urinal?
Did he really intend to cook for their esteemed Female Strategist with hands that had just washed a Urinal?
Moreover, how dared he wash a Urinal right at the entrance of the Commander's Office? Wasn't he just insulting them?
What the hell!
Was he deliberately looking for trouble?
The two guards were not going to let this slide!
The larger of the two guards stormed toward Chen Zao.
He shouted, "What are you doing? Are you looking for death? Washing a Urinal at our Commander's Office entrance!"
He actually lifted his foot to kick Chen Zao!
