In the early morning, the sky was slightly bright.

The sound of birds chirping woke up the group, who were already asleep and were very awake.

The early bird is eaten by the worm, and the early worm is eaten by the bird.

The early team turned their backs to the rising sun, left a quiet Shucheng, and came to Dabie Mountain.

The extent of Dabie Mountain is very vast, and the important thing is that it is not a lonely mountain, but a continuous mountain range.

As the central area of the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Revolutionary Base in the previous era, it has a very complex landform and a steep enough terrain to accommodate a large army stationed here.

People with a little knowledge of history will not be unfamiliar with this place of Dabie Mountain, but whether it is the strategic significance of Dabie Mountain in the modern war, or its historical positioning in the old revolutionary base area of the world, it has no meaning for the team.

They are not here to commemorate the martyrs, but to catch ghosts.

According to Li Qiang and Qi Zhen's ideas, here the team can refer to the strategy of Plants vs. Zombies.

If you go to something out of the ordinary, to a place where there are many ghosts, and push all the way through, you will surely find something.

After entering the range of Dabie Mountain, everyone obviously felt that the temperature in the air had dropped a lot, probably because of the influence of yin qi or ghost qi.

It's been a long time since anyone has been here.

Except for the obvious road before entering the mountain, after entering the mountain, you can only vaguely recognize the mountain path that Orion had walked before, and walk slowly.

Originally, it was expected that the team would be warmly entertained by those ghosts after entering the mountain, but the sun was just right, so it was unexpected and reasonable, and everyone did not find any trace of ghosts.

Finding ghosts isn't like looking for prey, after all.

Yu Liang's ability to find traces as a professional hunter is not of any use here.

But in general, Qi Zhen was still sure that the team was traveling the right route.

Because insects and birds are singing less and less, and the temperature in the air is getting colder and colder.

Yu Liang's fighting bow was clutched in his hand, ensuring that he could take out arrows from the quiver behind him at any time and give them a look at something that might appear suddenly.

The magic fluctuations around Jiang Yan's body have always been maintained at a very active level, and she must be able to release her best magic at any time.

Li Qiang didn't hold the M249, and a quick pull attack allowed him to summon the most suitable weapon at any time when he was in danger.

Qi Zhen's writing wheel eyes have been opened, observing everything around her at any time.

At this time, the most idle person was Meng Ran in the middle of the team, as a treatment, before the battle started, there was really nothing to do with her.

In order to prevent getting lost, Yu Liang would leave marks on the surrounding ground, trees, and stones every once in a while that only he could understand.

This is so that the team can have a track to follow when they return home.

With the sun already high in the middle of the sky, the team finally sat down on the ground for the first time and began to rest.

The physical exhaustion did not have too much impact on everyone, but the high mental tension still made Qi Zhen decide to rest in place.

"Although we can clearly feel that we are getting closer and closer to our goal, but if we continue to walk like this, when will we get to the place we are looking for?"

Jiang Yan asked with a frown as she felt the increasingly abnormal magic fluctuations around her.

Qi Zhen naturally understood what Jiang Yan meant, not only Qi Zhen, but everyone understood that if they continued to delay like this, it would only be more and more unfavorable to the team.

The time and place are favorable, and the location is absolutely none, and the choice of this time to enter the mountain is to reduce the opponent's advantage in terms of time to the lowest level.

After all, no matter how powerful the ghost is, it will still have a natural resistance to the sun, even if it is a city god like Zhang Zongchang, not being afraid of the sun does not mean that he likes the day.

At the end of the day, ghosts are ghosts, it's common sense.

Once it is delayed until nightfall, not to mention whether the team will have the energy to deal with the next difficulties when they come to this unfamiliar environment, it is very difficult for the team to find a way through the mountains and forests after nightfall.

After all, this place is not like the country of the nest, there are those magical stones and aquatic plants that emit a faint light all the time.

In half a day, the team had traveled a considerable distance in the mountains.

It's time to choose again.

"As you can see, although we can be sure that the route we are going on is not wrong, we don't know how long it will take to actually reach the destination of this trip." Qi Zhen said.

"So now we have three options in front of us. First, we follow the mountain route until we find the ghost, but we are not sure when we will find it, nor whether the path is completely correct; Second, let's go back the way we came, and think about it in the long run. Personally, I'd prefer to get out of here first and go back into the mountains tomorrow, because the night battle is too bad for us. ”

Qi Zhen thought for a moment and did not continue to speak.

"Where's the third option?" Yu Liang wondered.

"The third option is actually something I personally don't recommend, so I didn't say it just now, and the third option is to find a place to be stationed in the mountains, and wait for the next day to go forward during the day." Qi Zhen said.

"Isn't that great, why not recommend?"

In Meng Ran's opinion, finding a relatively safe place to stay and rest before dark would not affect the speed of the team's advancement, and also avoid the possibility of contact and battle with the other party at night, which was the best of both worlds.

"I'll tell you." Li Qiang said.

"I generally understand the reason why Qi Zhen didn't recommend us to find a place to camp for the night, probably because of his caution, but it just so happens that I share the same concerns as him. That is, after we entered Dabie Mountain, have we been discovered by the other party. Li Qiang slowly opened his mouth and analyzed.

The other three were all one sign.

“bingo.” Qi Zhen said.

"If we are already under the watchful eye of the other party from the first time we enter the mountain, or even if the other party is just waiting for the best time to attack, it is definitely not a wise choice for us to stay here." Li Qiang said.

"This means that the other side can choose to start fighting us at any time they see fit, and we can only be tired of dealing with an attack that the other side can launch at any time, and we miss the first time, whether it's day or night." Qi Zhen added.

"And that's why you suggested we leave here and go back to Shucheng first." Li Qiang said.

Qi Zhen nodded.

"But if we enter the mountain again tomorrow, even if the road ahead of us is better, we still can't avoid the same situation from happening again, right?" Meng Ran asked.

"yes, so I'm struggling with it right now." Qi Zhen nodded and said helplessly.

"Captain, what do you think?" Yu Liang asked Li Qiang.

"At this point, I'm more inclined to the third option." Li Qiang said.

"Why?" Qi Zhen asked.

"Because the end result, I'm afraid it's not too much." Li Qiang said.

Qi Zhen thought about it and knew that what Li Qiang said was right.

In the current situation, it is actually difficult for the squad to be the first to discover the enemy's traces and combat power composition, and then formulate a relatively beneficial battle strategy for the squad, and then make contact with the opponent.

The probability of being discovered by the opponent is almost 100%, so the team can only wait for the opponent to attack at any time.

No matter which strategy the current squad adopts, there is a high probability that there is no possibility of attacking first.

This is probably the first problem that the system poses to the team in this mission.

With Qi Zhen agreeing with Li Qiang's proposal, others naturally had no objections.

Everyone made up their minds and continued to push forward until they reached a relatively safe position, and then set up camp.

There is still a big problem with choosing this plan, Qi Zhen and Li Qiang tacitly did not mention it.

Because the five members of the team know it in their hearts.

Once the team can't find the ghost before dark, it means that even if the team is encamped, everyone must maintain a high state of mental tension at all times, and must not relax in the slightest.

After resting, the team moved on.

Either the system deliberately makes things difficult for the team, or maybe there are really no ghosts here during the day.

In short, before dark, the team had to find a relatively safe place to spend the night as planned.

They were now in a mountain col, with a wide clearing in the middle of the steep mountain wall, and behind them was the path from which they came, and in front of them was a winding path.

After all, it's not a war between humans, and it's a reasonable choice to camp here without worrying about the enemy pushing down logs or rockfall from the mountains to attack the team's camp.

There are only two ways to prevent it.

Simple tents were set up, bonfires were lit, and several people sat around and waited for dawn before it got dark.

Naturally, no one is interested in sleeping here, and the tents exist to withstand the pervasive mountain winds.

It is true that this is a very suitable choice for the group to camp, but there is a very obvious flaw, and the terrain here is almost like a ventilation duct deliberately designed for the mountain wind.

The mountain wind was howling, although it was not so violent, but it really couldn't stand it blowing so continuously.

It was completely dark, and when I looked up, I could see a line of sky between the two peaks.

The stars are shining, and it looks beautiful.

"How long have we been in this game?" Qi Zhen asked suddenly.

"I don't know, it's been almost a month." Yu Liang said.

"I don't know when it'll end." Meng Ran was a little frustrated.

"I think after we finish the matter of Shushan and the Well of Gods and Demons, the system will let us go." Qi Zhen said.

The crowd stopped talking and seized the time to regain their strength.

"You see, the moon is out."

When everyone heard Meng Ran's words, they looked up, only to see that a crescent moon had already appeared half from behind the peak, and it seemed that it was still slowly moving towards the middle sky.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred!
