Chapter 136: Earth Dragon
After resting for a while at Granny Chen's house and eating a simple farmhouse meal, it was already very close to the time of the meeting.
Qiao Yang and Lu Weiying didn't stay for long, thanked Granny Chen, and left for the entrance of the village.
"In this operation, each class was divided into two groups and followed the army on a mission. ”
"Class 1 Qiao Yang, Lu Weiying, Zhao Hanwu, and Lin Xu are in a group, following Sergeant Convoy. ”
"Shen Muxue, Wang Zhuqin, Zeng Cheng, Chen Yuexiao are in a group, following Sergeant Cui Xiaoyu. ”
“......”
Wang Jun divided everyone's respective tasks unslowly, and his tone was calm and dignified.
Qiao Yang looked at the two tall classmates who were in a group with him, and the pet beasts of both of them were soldiers, and they were biased towards the strength type.
Zhao Hanwu's pet beast is a gray stone, elemental and tough, it looks like a puppet made of irregular stones at random, close to a person's height, standing behind the master, it seems to have a very close relationship with the owner.
Lin Xu's pet beast is a forcehorn crocodile, a pure hunting system, two meters long, and a pair of cold pupils unique to cold-blooded animals look around without emotion.
And the officer Convoy who led their group was the swarthy young man who drove to pick him up before, but he didn't expect it to be a non-commissioned officer with an official position.
"Check your outfit to make sure nothing is missing!"
"Keep up with the army, obey orders, and don't make your own decisions!"
"If you fall behind, don't move around. Find a safe place to hide, then use the walkie-talkie to tell the teacher and wait for rescue!"
"Okay, let's disperse, I wish everyone a good harvest. ”
In the end, Wang Jun smiled and gave everyone blessings.
A few minutes later, everyone was full of energy, under the leadership of their respective officers, ready to leave the village and enter the mountains.
In addition to the lead officer, each team was accompanied by five armed soldiers at the same time.
After all, these students are nominally helping, but in fact they are just training, and it is still inappropriate to leave all the cleaning tasks to them.
These officers and soldiers were ordinary people, not demon tamers, except for the loaded guns and live ammunition they carried, Qiao Yang didn't see any pet beasts they followed.
Observing the mental power, no abnormalities were found.
Human guns and ammunition are not lethal to high-level demon beasts, but it is definitely more than enough to shoot ordinary demon beasts below the rank of general.
The reason for the detachment was that Kang Hong and Wang Jun had discussed it early in the morning, if there were too many people, the target would be too conspicuous, and it would be easy to cause chaos if there was danger.
A group of 3 or 4 people, plus an accompanying army is the best, and at the same time can greatly increase the efficiency of the completion of the task.
Qiao Yang's group went out of the village, and under the leadership of Kanghong, they continued to the top of the mountain.
The noon sun pierced through the thin clouds and threw itself onto the earth, and after being obscured by the verdant tree trunks, only a few bits of gold fell on the shoulders of everyone.
The woods were quiet, except for the occasional birdsong, not even the sound of the wind could be heard, but along the way, Qiao Yang had already felt no less than ten gazes from all directions.
This forest is not as quiet as it seems.
Yasuhong walked at the front of the line, leading the way, with 4 students in the middle and 5 soldiers following in the back row.
Xiao Lan, who had been following Qiao Yang's legs, suddenly raised her head, and the narrow corners of her eyes stared straight at the ground on the side, Qiao Yang's spirit was touched, and she also looked away.
"Goo-"
A strange sound came from underground, and the small clearing seemed to be very fluffy, and arched dirt bags the size of ping-pong balls began to emerge, as if something was wriggling underground.
Zhao Hanwu was startled, and hurriedly took a few steps back, hiding behind the gray vein, and tried to cover his burly body with his 0 bony pet beast.
The Horned Crocodile roared and adjusted its body so that it was facing the dirt bag, intimidating the creatures underground.
Lu Weiying's expression remained unchanged, seeing that Kang Hong did not stop, he naturally followed step by step, ignoring the dirt bag as if it were nothing.
Qiao Yang didn't feel any too powerful aura fluctuations, he frowned, and opened the illustrated book to investigate.
【Earth Dragon】
【Attributes:Element】
[Rank: Servant Level]
[Demon beasts that live underground, like warmth, are very sensitive to temperature, and will adjust the depth in the soil according to the air temperature or ground temperature. 】
[Level: 3]
......
"Don't worry, these are harmless little creatures. ”
Although Kanghong's mental power is not as strong as that of a demon tamer, he is often stationed in wild areas and is very sensitive to wind and grass, and obviously feels the gaze of wild demon beasts.
He casually glanced at the dirt bag and waved his hand, comforting a few or two frightened classmates.
"But...... What the hell is that?" Zhao Hanwu still seemed to have some lingering palpitations.
"It should be an earth dragon, the level is not high, it can be regarded as a beneficial insect, it can loosen the soil. In the land where the earth dragon lives, the plants will generally grow more luxuriantly. ”
Kang Hong is very experienced, and just by looking at it, he can judge the demon beast race in the unearthed bag.
"Ah, then we don't care? Isn't our mission this time to hunt down demon beasts?" Zhao Hanwu was a little puzzled.
"These are wild little demon beasts that can live in peace with people, there is no need to kill them all. The so-called hunting of demon beasts is to eliminate those demon beasts that pose a threat to the village. ”
Convoy sighed and explained.
"Okay. Zhao Hanwu didn't bother much, just felt a little pity.
The level of the earth dragon is not high, it should be very easy to hunt, and the evaluation of the results of this mission is also related to the number of monsters killed.
No matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat, he reluctantly glanced at the small earthen bag that was still moving in the open space.
Qiao Yang nodded, and he could understand Convoy's words very well.
There are two sides to everything, and not all monsters pose a threat to humans.
Since there are fierce and murderous monsters, there must also be timid monsters who love peace.
These weak creatures are not a threat, they are even beneficial to humans, and there is no need to kill them all.
"Our target this time is a short-winged termite nest on the top of the mountain. Kang Hong brushed aside Zhao Hanwu's reluctant look and explained again.
Everyone's eyes lit up, this insect monster beast is living in the form of a group, since it is a nest, it must mean that there are many demon beasts!
Zhao Hanwu was even more gearing up, directly leaving the matter of the earth dragon behind.
Only Qiao Yang's tiger body was shocked, and he thought of the steel drinking demon ants in the secret realm in the western suburbs, which was a very unpleasant memory.
The appearance of the earth dragon was just a small episode, and there was no delay in the trip, and everyone still moved forward according to the original destination.
