Chapter 2259: Entering the Abyss (Subscription Request)_1

At this moment, within a certain cemetery of the Blood God Army!

This place was the final resting ground of officers who had made great contributions to the Blood God Army!

Among them were included the members of the Blood Dragon Squad!

Right now, Jiang Qiyue, Long Yuxue, Ling Wuyue, and Sima Jinchi were all silently gazing forward at three gravestones.

The names inscribed upon them belonged to three fallen comrades.

Suddenly, Sima Jinchi took a deep breath, breaking the silence...

"July, there's something I want to tell you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qiyue's gaze showed not the slightest change, still fixed upon Jiang Wuyue's tombstone...

Through gritted teeth, Sima Jinchi said, "Wuyue... he actually died trying to save me!"

If Jiang Wuyue hadn't pushed him away at that time, then the name engraved on this tombstone would probably be his own!

At these words, Jiang Qiyue's pupils shuddered, her slender body trembling slightly...

Seeing this, Sima Jinchi felt an intense wave of shame rising from the depths of his heart...

How much better it would have been if he had been the one to die?

With these thoughts, he once again bowed his head and said, "I'm sorry, July, I..."

Forcing a smile, Jiang Qiyue said, "Don't blame yourself. My brother must have thought everything through before he made his decision!"

Long Yuxue and Ling Wuyue exchanged glances, each patting her shoulder, but neither offered words of comfort...

Sima Jinchi opened his mouth, at a loss for a response...

Then Jiang Qiyue wiped the red corners of her eyes and said, "Sorry, everyone, could you let me stay here alone for a bit?"

Upon hearing these words, how could Long Yuxue and the others refuse? They nodded and then turned to leave...

At that moment, Jiang Qiyue could no longer hold back, bursting into loud wails...

"Brother, why were you so foolish..."

...

Meanwhile, Sima Jinchi and the others, who had left, happened upon Tang Wulin...

With a hint of confusion, Long Yuxue said, "Wulin? How come you're here? Weren't you organizing the troops?"

Without answering her question, Tang Wulin asked in return, "Where's July?"

Ling Wuyue answered from the side, "She's still inside the cemetery, but it's evident that she's in low spirits."

Tang Wulin nodded, "Okay, I got it. By the way, Wuyue, your hand..."

Ling Wuyue's expression shifted slightly as she glanced at her remaining right arm, and said with determination, "I'm fine. Even with only one hand left, I won't give up on operating mechas!"

As an ace mecha master, if she were to live a life without touching a mecha again, it would be utterly meaningless!

Relieved, Tang Wulin said, "I believe you can do it!"

It seemed that Ling Wuyue hadn't lost the pride of an ace mecha master, despite having lost an arm.

The silent Sima Jinchi couldn't help but speak up, "Look, Wulin, could you also comfort July for me? After all, her brother died because of me…"

With a slight smile, Tang Wulin said, "I will, don't worry!"

With that, he spoke no further and passed by them into the cemetery...

Long Yuxue sighed, "Hey, who knows how long it will take for July to emerge from the shadows."

Ling Wuyue shook her head, "Let's go. No matter what, we all still have our own tasks to complete! Even if it's to prepare for the battles that are likely looming ahead."

Sima Jinchi just uttered a "Hmm!" in acknowledgement...

Jiang Wuyue was gone, but he remained. From now on, he would treat Jiang Qiyue as his own sister!

Anyone who wanted to harm her would have to step over his dead body!

...

As Tang Wulin entered the graveyard, he saw Jiang Qiyue sitting in front of Jiang Wuyue's tombstone, her eyes slightly red and swollen...

He just silently walked to the back, calmly looking on, with no intention of disturbing her!

The latter also sensed his arrival but likewise made no move...

It wasn't until a full ten minutes had passed that Jiang Qiyue finally stood up, her back to Tang Wulin, "Wulin, do you need something?"

Tang Wulin spoke with utmost seriousness, "July, I'm very sorry about what happened to Brother Jiang. If the Blood Dragon Squad hadn't been sent to scout alone, this wouldn't have happened!"

"If you have to blame someone, blame me!"

Jiang Qiyue's tone was somewhat cold, "I'm not going to blame anyone!"

Tang Wulin tried again, "July, you..."

"Slap!"

A sudden slap landed firmly on Tang Wulin's cheek. Even though it wasn't painful, he felt as if there was a flame burning on his face!

Despite this, his eyes remained clear, and he didn't show even the slightest intent to defend himself...

He continued, "July, if one slap isn't enough, then keep going until you've calmed down!"

Jiang Qiyue also realized what she had done, dazedly saying, "You... why didn't you dodge!"

She actually had not controlled herself!

Tang Wulin replied evenly, "I said it before, I bear the main responsibility for what happened to Brother Jiang and everyone else!"

"If hitting me a few times can make you feel better, then don't hold back!"

At that moment, Jiang Qiyue couldn't hold back anymore and immediately reached out to hug Tang Wulin, bursting into tears...

"It's all your fault, if it weren't for you, my brother wouldn't have died!!"

Feeling the pain of the person in his arms, Tang Wulin swallowed hard and gently patted her back...

"Right, this is all my fault, I'm to blame for everyone's deaths!"

"I understand how Brother Jiang's death has hit you hard, but the Blood God Army is in a dire state, and they really need your command!"

"So please, pull yourself together, okay?"

All Jiang Qiyue could do was to give a low "Mhm" in response...

...

Meanwhile, the Blood Gods had already led many army members to the entrance of the abyss...

But before they could get close, they heard a terrifying sound from inside...

Blood Two narrowed his eyes, "Such a horrifying sound coming from within the abyss' entrance, just how many abyssal creatures have gathered inside?"

Blood Three pursed her lips, "At least a few hundred thousand, if not millions!! This could be the toughest battle the Blood God Army has ever faced!"

Blood Four shouted coldly, "No matter how difficult, we have to stop them from breaking through the seal! That's the very purpose of the Blood God Army's existence!"

Blood One nodded, "Exactly, if we stagnate out of fear, how can we speak of protecting the Continent!!"

Immediately after, he opened the entrance left by the previous Blood One...

The entrance wasn't large, only big enough to admit a few dozen people marching together!

Turbid World exclaimed in surprise, "So this is the entrance left by the previous Blood One? It seems he had long anticipated that the same situation would arise!"

Feng Wu Yu said with regret, "Ah, it's just a pity that sealing the abyss consumed his life force. Otherwise, he could have fought alongside us."

Yuan En Zhentian then looked at Blood One, "Blood One, the situation is urgent, we must act immediately!"

The latter had the same intention and immediately declared, "All members of the Blood God Army, enter the abyss through the passage at top speed and establish a defensive line!!"
