Chapter 446: Chapter 444: 444 Seal_1

Elijah Hall glanced at the waning sun in the western sky and hesitated, “But… it’s been so long.”

“Wait a little longer…”

Lukas Simon hadn’t finished speaking when the door to the barracks suddenly opened, and Greg Jensen walked out. Seeing Lukas Simon and the other, he waved towards them.

Lukas Simon’s heart stirred, and he hurriedly went to meet him, “Barry, how did it go?”

“I’m going in now to seal the crack in the stone door. Even if the Yin Sha Qi is still seeping out, the speed should slow down a lot.”

“Be extremely careful, and prioritize your own safety.”

Lukas Simon did not forget to remind him.

Greg Jensen nodded, carrying the prepared Thunderfall Talisman, and once again entered Gourd Cave.

Inside Gourd Cave, the Yin Sha Qi that he had previously cleared began to surge out again a little.

Greg Jensen paid it no mind and walked straight into the inner cave, arriving in front of the stone door. First, he peered through the crack to look inside, and seeing no movement, he felt reassured.

He bit his finger and, following the Evil Suppressing Method recorded in the “Yin Yang Harmony Scripture,” drew a talisman with his fingertip blood on the stone door.

The moment the talisman was completed, a streak of blood-red brilliance flashed by, and then it was quiet again.

Just then, there was a sudden noise from inside the door.

Greg Jensen promptly threw a small fireball inside, then looked through the crack again, only to see the two clay figurines were restlessly pacing in place.

Greg Jensen’s heart jolted, and without daring to delay, he hurriedly pasted the Thunderfall Talisman over the crack in the door.

The next second, it was quiet inside the door again.

Greg Jensen let out a long breath, but he was still somewhat worried. He stood at the door for a while, and seeing that there really was no movement, he approached the crack again and tossed another fireball inside.

The clay figurines reverted back to being just clay figurines, devoid of any semblance of life.

“It looks like it worked!”

Greg Jensen finally relaxed completely and realized that cold sweat had soaked his back. Blown by the chilly wind around him, he shivered involuntarily.

He hesitated for a moment, then simply sat down cross-legged on the ground and began to cultivate the Guidance Technique again.

“Can’t waste all this Yin Sha Qi, might as well absorb my fill before leaving!”

Greg Jensen, as if nothing had happened, stayed in the cave and continued to cultivate, leaving Lukas Simon outside growing increasingly anxious.

“We had agreed that he would just stick one talisman paper, so why hasn’t he come out after so long?”

Lukas Simon was somewhat puzzled, wanting to enter the cave to check, when Elijah Hall quickly stepped forward to stop him.

“Commander, Mr. Jensen previously instructed that no one should enter the cave again. If it provokes the spread of Yin Sha Qi again, that could lead to disaster.”

“Hmm, I know.”

Actually, Lukas Simon understood even better than Elijah Hall that one should avoid entering the cave if possible, but he was truly getting anxious with Greg Jensen not coming out for so long.

In his view, Barry’s willingness to go in and contain the spread of the Yin Sha Qi was an act of comradeship; not going in was a matter of duty.

If anything were to happen to Barry because of this, he would bear some blame.

The two of them waited until nightfall, and finally, Greg Jensen came out from inside.

Seeing the relaxed look on Greg Jensen’s face, Lukas Simon relaxed as well and quickly stepped forward to ask, “Barry, how are things?”

Greg Jensen smiled, “Mission accomplished.”

“Really stopped it?”

“Really!”

Greg Jensen said with a smile, “But you can’t let your guard down, you still need to keep an eye on it.”

“Hahaha…”

Hearing this, Lukas Simon broke out into laughter, quickly bringing tears to his eyes.

After a long while, he finally stopped laughing, his expression turned serious, and he bowed deeply to Greg Jensen in respect.

“Lukas, what are you doing, stand up…”

Greg Jensen quickly went to help him up.

Lukas Simon pushed him away immediately, then said earnestly, “Barry, my brother, I’ve been stationed here for so many years, my heart in my throat every day. Now at last, I can sleep in peace.

All thanks to you. I really don’t know what to do to repay you.”

Greg Jensen gave another smile and teased, “I haven’t eaten well for days. How about we drink a bit tonight?”

“Drink, we must drink a bit!”

Lukas Simon instructed Elijah Hall, “Go get my twenty-year-old Maotai, and ask the canteen to cook up a couple of hearty dishes to send to my barracks. Tonight, I’m going to drink with Barry till we’re both drunk!”

“Yes, sir!”

Upon hearing that everything had been successful, Elijah Hall was also filled with excitement. It had been a long time since he’d seen his commanding officer so happy.

Before long, the drinks and dishes were ready, and Greg Jensen and Lukas Simon sat in his barracks and began to drink.

Lukas Simon, though claiming he would not go home unless drunk, actually had a very poor tolerance for alcohol. At least compared to Greg Jensen, they weren’t even in the same league.

While Greg Jensen had barely gotten tipsy, Lukas had already collapsed in a drunken stupor, muttering, “Five years of guarding, and now at last there’s some achievement. I have not failed…”

Greg Jensen shook his head with a bitter smile, stood up, and went outside to speak to Elijah Hall guarding the door, “Lukas is quite drunk. Please take good care of him tonight.”

“Yes, Mr. Wolfe, rest assured!”

Elijah Hall gave a standard military salute.

Greg Jensen was somewhat surprised, nodded his head, and returned to his own barracks.

Meanwhile, the other soldiers, having learned that the malevolent energy had been held back, also cheered excitedly.

For a moment, the camp was very lively.

Since Randy Locke was mainly responsible for the spread of the malevolent energy before, even though Troy Milton had been released, he and Bradley Ford were still under house arrest inside the camp.

Hearing the cheers outside, Randy Locke couldn’t help but frown. He opened the door, listened for a while, and suddenly stood there in shock.

He turned his stiff neck, looked back at Bradley Ford, and said in a daze, “Bradley, listen carefully. They seem to be saying… Barry Wolfe has subdued the malevolent energy? That’s… impossible, right?”

No one had more authority to speak on the terror of the malevolence inside Gourd Cave than he did.

He could hardly believe that the malevolence, which had knocked him down at a glance, had been so simply resolved by that youngster.

Bradley Ford had been psychologically prepared, so he wasn’t surprised by the news.

He moved closer to the door to listen carefully, and then said seriously, “Uncle, you heard right; the malevolence has indeed been subdued by Mr. Wolfe.”

“But… how is that possible?” Randy Locke was still somewhat incredulous.

Bradley Ford gave a wry smile and said, “Perhaps we are indeed the ‘frogs at the bottom of the well’ he spoke of?”

Randy Locke was stunned. After realizing the truth, he showed a look of dejection.

Bradley Ford thought he was afraid that Lukas Simon would deal with him and quickly comforted him, “Uncle, don’t worry. Since Mr. Wolfe has already accepted your gift, he will not make things difficult for you. Even if Captain Simon is reluctant, Mr. Wolfe should speak up for you.”

“I see. I got it.”

Randy Locke, as though in a daze, nodded and lay on the bed, devoid of strength.

Bradley Ford saw how he looked and didn’t know what else to say, deciding to wait until they got back home to discuss it further.

The next morning, Greg Jensen packed up, ready to take Bradley Ford back to the provincial capital with him.

But as soon as he stepped out the door, he saw several tidy formations standing in the training field before him.

The formations of thousands of soldiers were silent and precise.

The moment Greg Jensen appeared, all those thousands of eyes converged on him.

What is this…

“Farewell, Mr. Wolfe!”

“Farewell, Mr. Wolfe!!”

“Farewell, Mr. Wolfe!!!”
