"Whoever still has the strength to come with me."

Liu Zhi greeted the crowd, and more than 20 people from the Guards Battalion and the militia team followed, and it was rare to see the leader, and now this opportunity to leave an impression and show himself could not be easily let go, not to mention that with Liu Zhi's presence, the degree of danger would be greatly reduced.

"Chief, how do you know that these demon beasts will be revenged?" Gu Xiaoying followed.

"Guess." Liu glanced at her: "These guys are very similar to wolves, united, bloodthirsty, obey the command of the leader, and are desperate for food, and the wolf is a very vindictive animal, in order to prevent future troubles, it must be eradicated!" ”

Gu Xiaoying realized, and at this time, Xiao Changle next to him asked, "Leader, I want to know how to keep up with them?" Our speed and endurance seem to be far inferior to theirs. ”

Liu Zhi pointed to the strings of blood on the ground, and said in a low voice: "Felines and canines are used to day and night, and now it is almost dawn, and they have just suffered heavy damage, they will definitely return to the nest as soon as possible, we only need to follow these traces to catch up, we should be able to find them easily." ”

"And what about when you find it? And what if they have a lot of companions in their nest? Xiao Changle asked again.

"The odds are slim." Liu Zhi shook his head and patiently explained: "Judging from the habits of carnivorous social animals, whenever there is a leader, all the people are usually dispatched, and those who remain in the nest are either the wounded or the old and the young, so after finding them, of course, they will all be killed." ”

At this time, he seemed to remember something, grinned, and corrected: "I forgot, you don't have to kill them all, maybe there...... There is also a litter of demon beast cubs waiting for us, and in a year and a half, it will be a batch of mounts or war pets. ”

…………

The winger sat under a tree, with a spear at his side, holding a piece of dried meat in his hand to eat, and he was surrounded by soldiers of the Dragon Battalion with neat armor, not far away, the battalion commander Xu Liang, the company commander Hou Dajie and several others were discussing something in a low voice, and the faint conversation seemed to be related to other human gathering places.

This was the second day of their expedition, which had been more than 200 kilometers away from the tribe, with Xu Liang as the leader and Hou Dajie as the deputy, leading the soldiers of the fourth battalion and the first company, and as for the second and third companies, they were under the command of the deputy battalion commander and the commander of the third company.

Along the way, they did not find any trace of other human camps, but they met a few wandering people, more than five or six, as little as two or three, both awakened and ordinary people, among the seven awakened people, there are two special awakened people with strong natural skills, one is called Liu Feng, the strength of the right hand is extremely strong, more than three times that of the left hand, and it is as hard as steel, and it is difficult to be injured when idle, and it is called "Qilin Arm" by everyone.

This Liu Feng was originally the leader of a five-person wandering squad, and led his subordinates to rashly break into the warning area of a company, and after being stopped, he wanted to snatch the weapons of the vigilant soldiers, and used his steely right hand to resist one hexagonal gun after another, and injured several people in a moment, and then Hou Dajie made a timely move before he was barely captured.

Since it was a pity, Liu Feng was naturally unconvinced, and insisted that he would fight again, Hou Dajie readily agreed, turned on the transformation state, and dislocated his unicorn arm with one punch, a large number of capillaries exploded, and his body flew out more than 30 meters upside down.

Another special awakened person is named Zhang Yikun, his natural skills are more interesting, he can make a contract with a beast, this kind of contract is not a master-servant contract, but purely take what he needs, just like Zhang Yikun gives a contract beast some food, and the other party will help him find prey, water sources, salt mines, etc., and even help him fight, but the premise is to increase the intimacy to a certain level.

According to Zhang Yikun, the performance of this contract skill must be that his own ability exceeds that of the beast by a lot, or the beast is in an endangered or surrendered state, otherwise the probability of success will become very low, which is why he only has three beasts by his side, but not even a demon beast.

Once the contract is signed, the contract beast will treat Zhang Yikun as a kind of person and be able to communicate directly, as for the specific way of communication, he didn't elaborate, and Xu Liang didn't ask much, but every time he looked at his eyes or Nunu's mouth, the three-headed beast would obediently take action, thinking it was related to his thoughts.

What determines the number of contract beasts, whether it is the concentration of vitality or the ethereal spiritual power, or whether there is no limit to the number at all, these Zhang Yikun can't be sure for the time being, at least he has to sign a contract with a demon beast before he can figure out a few clues.

There were nearly twenty more people in the team, including a large number of ordinary people, and the marching speed naturally slowed down a lot, but Xu Liang responded in time, he first taught them the art of qi conduction, and then selected a few stronger people to take charge of it, and adopted a gentle pacification policy for the rest, telling them the general situation of the tribe, and the civil department needs a lot of relevant talents, so that they can see hope, so they quickly stabilized people's hearts.

For Xu Liang, the winger is still convinced from the bottom of his heart, Xu Liang, like him, is just an ordinary awakener, but his own ability and means of control are absolutely incomparable.

Liu Zhi was directly promoted from an ordinary soldier to the commander of a battalion, and the soldiers naturally questioned him, but this doubt quickly turned into trust, because whether it was the usual training and hunting, or the first expedition of the Dragon Battalion, his performance was extremely outstanding, decisive, commanding, very strict with himself, not arrogant or impatient, not left behind, coupled with Hou Dajie's firm support, he quickly gathered part of the army's heart, and now, he has really sat firmly in the position of the commander of the fourth battalion.

Many soldiers in the fourth battalion think that Hou Dajie is the "second master" of the tribe, once he starts to transform, in addition to the leader, even Tu Wei can't compete with him head-on, but this is only in terms of competition, if it is replaced by a real life-and-death fight, Hou Dajie is afraid that he will not be able to win Tu Wei, after all, the latter licks blood from the knife all year round, and his combat skills are perfect, and he is not the immature Hou Dajie can match.

But everyone knows that Hou Dajie's growth space is indeed much more than Tu Wei, and over time, the title of the second master may not be able to be confirmed.

The winger felt that this might be the reason why the leader put him in the fourth battalion, his loyalty was definitely comparable to Fang Shaochuan, the leader's order, he had always obeyed unconditionally, with his support for Xu Liang, many problems would be solved, no matter how dissatisfied the soldiers were, they would not be able to make any waves.

The more he thought about it, the stronger the winger's admiration for Liu Zhi became, he used to think that if he hadn't saved his wife Li Ni, at least one of the four battalion commanders in the Dragon Battalion belonged to him, but now, he felt that with his own ability and IQ, he would be able to be qualified for the position of company commander at most. Fang Shaochuan is the henchman of the henchmen, and he is also an awakened person of the combat department, his cultivation talent is amazing, and his growth rate ranks first in all except for the leader. Duan Qi is clever and quick-witted, coupled with his irreplaceable intelligence and reconnaissance ability, no one is unconvinced to sit in the position of battalion commander.

Compared with these four, the winger thinks that the only advantage he has is "self-knowledge", if this is indeed a plus.

From these, the winger is very eager to progress and grow, but he is not qualified to study military knowledge, and with his understanding of Liu Zhi, even if he really learns, there is a chance that he will not be able to enter the officer class, the more wise the leader, the more there is no reuse of traitors, and Liu Zhi, he is simply a natural leader.

Therefore, the winger can only work hard from the personal aspect, and there are many things that need to be learned, including fighting skills, weapon use, military formation understanding, situation judgment, enemy tracking, wilderness survival, etc., once all these knowledge are mastered and proficient, even if they can't become the king of soldiers, they will definitely be the elite of one enemy and ten hundred battles, and the chance of surviving in the battle will undoubtedly be much greater.

After all, no good general will use elite soldiers as cannon fodder.

After eating the jerky, the winger was about to drink water, when he suddenly saw a scout in charge of pathfinding rushing back, crossed the perimeter guard, and came directly to Xu Liang, saluting and reporting: "Battalion commander, more than ten kilometers to the southeast, a human gathering place was found. ”

Xu Liang raised his head and asked, "How many people are there?" ”

The man hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "According to the estimation of his subordinates, it is at least between one thousand and two thousand. ”
