Chapter 195: Getting the first step

An hour later.

The cold wind was slow, the smoke and dust were rolled up, and the roar of the locomotive echoed in the wilderness, and after an hour of galloping, Chen Chong, Qi Yue, and the white crow saw a large gray swamp forest covered with a dead smell in front of them.

Behind them were a fleet of locomotives that followed, and even one or two of the Transcendents had arrived early, staying at the edge of the Silent Swamp, seemingly watching for something.

The bounty mission was urgent, and all the Transcendent squads that took the mission basically set off at the same time, so the time to arrive at the Silent Swamp was almost the same.

Passing through a flat, moist meadow again, there were scattered swamps covered with gray dead leaves and shrubs, and wisps of mist swayed in the wind, and tall and straight misshapen gray trees grew in them, forming such a large swamp with no end in sight.

The white crow raised his voice and said, "Captain, there are unrecognizable moorlands in front of you, and you can't go any further. ”

Stopping the locomotive from a distance, Chen Chong looked at this swamp forest that was not a good place at first glance, and his expression flashed.

The outer area of the Silent Swamp Forest was a flat and open meadow, which could be seen in all directions, and Qi Yue also glanced back and forth: "Captain, where should we start? With such a large swamp forest, it is only up to luck to find any clues and traces." ”

Chen Chong said in a deep voice: "Don't rush in first, let's find out if there are any traces of the battle of the two desolate gods around here." ”

The shocking sword of the leader of the war department has completely abolished the flying ability of the black bat beast, so that it can only rely on crawling on its limbs and finding its footprints to effectively narrow down the search range, otherwise the search for such a large swamp with complex terrain is undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Without rushing deeper, Chen Chong and the three of them first observed for a while, and after making sure that there was no trace of the four-winged night dragon in the sky, the engine car drove at a constant speed and began to search around the outer area of the dry swamp forest.

The transcendent team that arrived later obviously had the same thoughts as them, and immediately searched for clues in this meadow. And because the bounty task issued by the War Department is a competitive relationship, there is no communication between them.

Soon, Chen Chong, whose eyes were like eagles and whose five senses were more acute than those of transcendentals, found traces during his inspection.

I saw that on the grass in front of me, the turf was turned up one by one, leaving a series of irregular mud pits with a distance of more than ten meters, and it stretched into the swamp forest.

"Here!"

Chen Chong immediately stopped the locomotive and looked at the irregular mud pits at large intervals. And Qi Yue and Bai Yao saw that Chen Chong seemed to have discovered something, and they immediately leaned over.

"The soil hasn't dried out completely, which means that it hasn't been for a long time, and this should be the footprints of the black bat monster. ”

Chen Chong looked in the direction of the Silent Swamp Forest:

"The intelligence of the War Department should be correct, it is from this direction that it entered the Silent Swamp. And ......"

Chen Chong squatted down, carefully looked around the irregular mud puddle, found obvious footprints and rut marks, and squinted his eyes:

"Someone should have gone in before us. ”

"Someone got ahead of the game?"

The white crow snorted coldly:

I heard that there is a transcendent person in Zhao Kunlun's team called Flying Squirrel, who has quite a powerful hidden ability, can distinguish tens of thousands of different smells, and has a sensitive sense of smell to the point of perversion. If they had found it first, I'm afraid we wouldn't have had anything to do. ”

Chen Chong immediately stood up and waved his hand in the direction of the Silent Swamp Forest: "Let's go in too!"

"Look over there, they seem to have made a discovery. ”

"It seems to be Chen Chong's team. ”

"Let's go over and have a look!"

As Chen Chong and the others drove away, several other teams searching around the grassland wetland were also obviously aware of it, and followed closely before the footprints of the suspected black bat giant beast:

"These are the footprints of the black bat beast! The information that the leader gave us is correct, this beast has indeed arrived here!"

"Look at the direction of the footprints, it's into the swamp forest!"

"I've observed, there is no trace of the four-winged night dragon, it should be completely gone!"

"Could that beast's corpse still be in the swamp?"

"Let's go, let's go!"

.......

In the swamp forest, a pale gray miasma wafted and filled the forest like mist. The ground is full of gray fallen leaves, and the swamps are hidden under the thick fallen leaves, which seem to hide a different kind of murderous intention.

In such a gloomy and murderous atmosphere, the three figures slammed through the fog and walked unhurriedly, stepping on the ground with splinters of dead leaves, making a small sound.

"Flying squirrel, how's it going?"

The first man with a white bone bow on his back, a heroic man who looked at the six roads and listened to all directions, stopped and turned back and asked:

"Did you find anything?"

The one who opened his mouth to ask was Zhao Kunlun, who was known as the fourth son of the silver ring.

And what he called the flying squirrel was a short, sharp-beaked monkey cheek man. The man took off his gas mask, his eyes slightly closed, and his nose fluttered, as if he was catching something.

"Ahem, ahem. ”

The flying squirrel's face flashed an abnormal red, and he quickly put on a gas mask during the violent cough, and said in a muffled voice:

"There is a smell of blood in the three directions of one o'clock, eleven o'clock, and nine o'clock, but the smell of blood in the direction of one o'clock and nine o'clock is very weak, and the smell in the direction of eleven o'clock is very strong, and there is a corrosive feeling, which should be left by the black bat beast. ”

"Good!"

Zhao Kunlun's eyes lit up:

"Flying squirrel, good!"

The flying squirrel's hunting sense of smell is one of the new humans' recessive abilities, capable of capturing and distinguishing all scents within a kilometer, and capable of memory and tracking. Although this ability does not play a big role in combat, it can be regarded as the top of the hidden ability in terms of auxiliary functions, which is why the flying squirrel is obviously just a mid-level transcendent, but Zhao Kunlun, who is above the top, is included in the team.

However, the poisoning obstacles of the Silent Swamp Forest are everywhere, and even the physique of a transcendent person cannot support it for too long, and although the flying squirrel's sense of smell is strong, it cannot continue to track.

Zhao Kunlun turned his head to look at a thin middle-aged man lying on the ground next to the flying squirrel:

"Xu Li, what about you?"

Xu Li stood up and shook his head: "There are no large-scale radiant species in this area. ”

His ability is in his extraordinary hearing, and he can even sense and distinguish infrasound waves like a bat, although not as strong as the flying squirrel's hunting sense of smell, but he is also very good at reconnaissance.

And he himself has reached the extraordinary high level, enough to have a place in this top squad.

Zhao Kunlun's eyes flickered and nodded: "Okay, let's go to the direction pointed by the flying squirrel first." ”

With that, he took the lead, pedaled with his feet, brushed aside the branches and leaves that stood in his way, and headed for eleven o'clock where the flying squirrel had pointed.

And just after taking two steps, Zhao Kunlun suddenly sneered:

"Good brute!"

In the next moment, the longbow behind his back appeared in his hand like lightning, and at the same time, the muscles on the two arms rioted, and the three actions of taking the bow, drawing the arrow, and pulling the string were all in one go.

Boom!

The bowstring shook violently, shaking the air, and a strong wind for no reason suddenly swept around as Zhao Kunlun released the bowstring, and at the same time, the ground on his left, which was only a few meters away, suddenly exploded like a bomb, and countless mud, dead leaves, and blood splashed horizontally!
