Somewhere in the forest

"Tiehuo performed very well this time, the top three are stable, it seems that you have opened a small stove for you. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info" a man smiled slightly.

"Hehe, Uncle Chen laughed, my father often said that if I could catch up with half of Brother Mu Ge, he would be satisfied." Tie Huo said with a smile, and then glanced at the fierce beast killed by himself not far away, the gray-haired monkey, and a trace of self-satisfaction unconsciously appeared on his face.

The gray-haired monkey, one of the low-level fierce beasts, is characterized by an extremely flexible body, although the combat effectiveness is not strong, but it is difficult to hunt, and it is often necessary to lure it with food.

"You can pick what I like to hear, my Mu Ge is just older, and he doesn't have any ability." Who doesn't like to listen to compliments, let alone his most precious son, although the man said in a tone full of care, but the pride on his face is really true to anyone.

The rest of the people saw that the two of them were touting each other, and no one deliberately stepped forward to say anything ugly, firstly, Tiehuo's results were really good, after all, hunting a fierce beast alone for the first time was not a task that anyone could complete; The second is that Mu Chen is the captain of this sub-team, and no one will offend the two of them for this little thing.

In this harmonious atmosphere, the assessment was still continuing, but suddenly a beast roar came from somewhere in the forest, which immediately suffocated everyone's words, blocked their throats, and their faces all showed a look of surprise and uncertainty.

The gray-haired monkey who was fighting with the boy in the field shuddered suddenly, and the fear from the soul hit his whole body, and he immediately did not look at the fruit behind the boy that emitted an attractive fragrance, and fled without looking back.

"W-what is this?" The young man in the field was already a little powerless, but he didn't want a sudden beast roar to help him scare away the gray-haired monkey, and he was suddenly overjoyed, but he still had an innocent look on his face, and looked at the hunting party not far behind him and asked.

"Don't make any noise, Xu Cheng, did you say that the beast roar just now was a tiger's roar?" Mu Chen drank coldly, then turned his head and looked at the person beside him with a solemn face and asked.

The young man was scolded by Mu Chen, and he was suddenly too frightened to speak, but he also seemed to feel the extraordinaryness of the beast roar, and consciously moved closer to the team.

Seeing that the captain of the detachment who led the team this time was so solemn, the remaining teenagers immediately kept silent and honestly stood aside and waited for orders.

Although he also wanted to know what the beast roar represented, he also knew that if something unexpected happened, he would be a burden to the hunting team, so it was better to be honest at this time.

Even Tie Huo, who was still talking and laughing just now, pursed his lips tightly at this time, not daring to have any more friendship with Mu Chen, he knew very well his weight in Mu Chen's heart, and once something really happened, the other party would never treat him much because of the few compliments just now.

As for the members of the other hunting teams, most of them stood on guard, and it was really not their turn to worry about this kind of advice, they just had to keep their posts.

"Since you've asked so, you can't be wrong, but I don't remember when a tiger beast appeared on this periphery." Xu Cheng said with a puzzled expression.

Just thinking for a moment, Xu Cheng suddenly said, "Could it be?" ”

"Hehe, you've thought about it too, I'm afraid it's really like this." Mu Chen said lightly, but there was a trace of fear in his tone.

"Then why don't you lead the team to evacuate to the entrance first, and then a few of us will disperse to inform the other teams, after all, these children can't be lost." Xu Cheng said worriedly.

"That's all there is to it, but if it's a false alarm, won't our team become a joke for the whole team?" Mu Chen asked with some hesitation, with a little hesitation on his face, he is also a team leader, and he still wants to save face.

"Let's be cautious, if it's a false alarm, but if it's true, then we can't afford to take this responsibility." Xu Cheng said solemnly.

"Well, you're right, then let's lead the team back to the entrance first." After thinking about it carefully, Mu Chen felt that Xu Cheng's words were reasonable, and said lightly, after all, once something happened, the consequences were really not something they could imagine.

Just when the two finished discussing, they suddenly saw a figure running towards them from far and near, and when they saw them, the speed of the figure was a little faster.

"Tie Fan, isn't he acting as a scout, why did he come here?" Mu Chen wondered.

"I'm afraid it has something to do with this beast roar, maybe he came, and our doubts were solved." Xu Cheng touched the sparse beard on his chin, and his cunning eyes showed a hint of essence, and said lightly.

"Then let's see what he has to say, how?" Mu Chen asked. He has always believed in Xu Cheng's mind, which is why even if he is the captain of the detachment, he is always so polite to Xu Cheng, which will never be as simple as just the relationship between the same village or his companions.

"Well, it's not bad for this time, but this person has always been notoriously slippery, so I'll ask you something later." Xu Cheng said lightly, symbolically asking Mu Chen's opinion, even though he knew very well in his heart that this was just superficial work, but he also understood that Mu Chen cared about face very much, and if you asked him, you respected him; If you don't ask, you're despising him.

And his relationship with Mu Chen is also very strange, although Mu Chen is always making ideas, but in fact, the person who really makes the decision is always him. However, although his mind is excellent, he doesn't have much talent for martial arts, and he is only a second-order warrior until now, which is difficult to compare with the fifth order of Mu Chen's warrior. It's just that the two of them are literate and martial, and they cooperate tacitly, so every time they hunt, they have been safe and sound.

"Brother Fan, what's so urgent, you're sweating too busy?" Looking at the visitor, Xu Cheng asked with a faint smile, with a kind look on his face.

"Hehe, what can I do, it's just to see the brothers here, and rush over to catch up on the old days." Facing Xu Cheng's question, Tie Fan snorted and said with a smile.

However, he had already begun to make his own calculations in his heart, hoping to use the manpower of Mu Chen's team to verify for himself whether the tiger roar behind it was made by the Red Tiger. It's just that he also knows that this thing is not easy to do, after all, no one is a fool, especially Xu Cheng, who is famous for his wisdom, and he is not a person who can be fooled at all.

"Everyone knows Brother Fan's enthusiasm, but just now there was a sudden sound of a tiger's roar, I wonder if Brother Fan knows something?" Facing Tie Fan's prevarication, Xu Cheng still asked with a smile on his face.

"This, I'm ashamed to say, I was just investigating the situation of the fierce beasts around me, and I also heard this tiger roar so I hurriedly searched for the detachments, hoping to use everyone's strength to find out the situation. After all, there have been no tiger beasts on the periphery of the Mountain of No Return so far, so in the case of unknown strength, although I am responsible as a scout, I don't dare to investigate rashly. Tie Fan said sincerely, and what he said was also half-truthful, wanting to test everyone's reaction first.

"Hehe, what is Brother Fan talking about, it is the most correct decision for you to do this, after all, there are dangers hidden everywhere in this mountain, and you should be careful." Xu Cheng said with relief, but before Tie Fan could speak, Xu Cheng looked embarrassed again, "It's just that now that we know that there is an unknown tiger beast, then we can only lead the personnel involved in the assessment to evacuate the Mountain of No Return first, after all, this group of children cannot afford to lose." It's just that in this way, I'm really sorry that I'm powerless about Brother Fan's affairs. ”

"Hehe, what are these words, Brother Xu Cheng is focusing on the overall situation, can't you even understand such a simple truth as a brother?" Tie Fan said with a smile, and then the conversation changed, and he said with a righteous and awe-inspiring expression on his face, "However, such unknown tiger beasts suddenly appeared on the periphery of the Mountain of No Return, for the safety of the hunting team, I, as a scout, still need to investigate, even so, this time I can only go on a journey at the cost of life and death." ”

Hearing Tie Fan's words, Mu Chen, who was standing aside and didn't want to meddle in this matter, suddenly came to his senses, took a step forward and said loudly, "Brother Fan, what are these words, everyone is a member of the hunting team, although their responsibilities are different, but they all contribute to the village, you can take risks for the hunting team, how can we lag behind, then... ”

"Ahem, Captain, it's time to evacuate." Just when Mu Chen wanted to take over the matter in a big way, Xu Cheng hurriedly reminded on the side, although he didn't know why Tie Fan suddenly changed his mind and made such a decision, but his intuition told him that it was better not to get involved in this matter, and the so-called abnormal thing is a demon.

"Uh, this... Seeing Xu Cheng dissuade himself, Mu Chen couldn't help but begin to regret his recklessness just now, but in his heart, he really wanted to participate in Tie Fan's exploration this time, not for anything else, but for fame.

After all, if he can successfully detect this fierce tiger information this time, then he Mu Chen can be regarded as a meritorious service to the hunting team, and he will have the capital to brag in front of other team leaders in the future. And as soon as he thought of this, his heart began to stir, and he even showed an expression of impatience to investigate the situation.

Looking at Mu Chen's heart-warming appearance, Tie Fan secretly rejoiced in his heart, because in the face of Xu Cheng's sophistication and shrewdness, he had nothing to do, so he had to pay attention to Mu Chen. As an old man in the team, he knows the character of every team leader, and the one in front of him has a good face and loves vanity even more, and this kind of showy thing must make him want to participate impulsively.

However, now Mu Chen was still hesitant to take care of Xu Cheng's words, and he still needed to add fire to help him strengthen his determination.

"I'd better go to this kind of thing by myself, Captain Mu Chen is carrying the burden of guarding, and it's really not suitable to leave." Tie Fan had an expression that I understood, but between his words, he deliberately strengthened his voice with the word 'guard', and said lightly.

"Brother Fan, you don't need to say anything more, the team will be led by Xu Cheng out of the Mountain of No Return for the time being, and I will go with you to investigate the situation, how about it?" Mu Chen said with a firm face.

He also figured out that such an opportunity is rare but not sought, and he gave up this time, and he didn't know when the next time would come. And more importantly, the word 'guard' mentioned in Tie Fan's words whether intentionally or unintentionally stimulated him deeply, he is a very face-saving person, but Tie Fan's words have made him a little unable to get off the stage. What is the burden of guards, guards are a big thing, he Mu Chen really has to fight for Tie Fan today, Lao Tzu and I are also people who do big things.

"Captain, this... Hearing this, Xu Cheng didn't know the temperament of his captain, and what else he wanted to say at the moment.

"Needless to say, I've already decided, you and the team will evacuate first, and I'll join you later." Before Xu Cheng could say any more, Mu Chen had already raised his hand to interrupt his words, at this time he really didn't want to listen to Xu Cheng's words of exhortation, otherwise the breath he had finally held back would definitely be dispersed by Xu Cheng.

Tie Fan stood aside silently like an old monk sitting still without the slightest movement, he knew that the overall situation had been decided, at this time, it was best not to stimulate Xu Cheng, just let him take someone away, and then let Mu Chen act as cannon fodder to investigate the situation for him.

Looking at Tie Fan's expressionless face, Xu Cheng knew that he had lost in this invisible confrontation, but because of this, he became more and more wary of Tie Fan, this is definitely a guy who cannot be ignored.
