Chapter 133: Overnight in the Bear's Nest
Early in the morning, the people finished their dry food, packed up the campfires and tents, and set out on the road.
After entering the inner perimeter of Cangbei Forest, even the atmosphere of the entire forest became different. The periphery is still relatively noisy, and occasionally low-level demon beasts come out. But this situation will not appear at all in the inner enclosed area, the lowest level of demon beasts here is above the middle level, and the demon beasts of this level have already begun to have wisdom, and the actions they take are even more unpredictable.
"Yue'er, Huang Shao, don't get out of the ranks of the team easily, Xu Yuyan and Xu Yuyi, after the two of you break off, if there is a problem that can't be solved, shout, call my name and don't call Lin Xue, Lin Xue won't help us." This is our experience. Shen Mu commanded as soon as he entered the forest. Everyone agreed.
Lin Xue followed behind Shen Mu and chatted a few words from time to time.
After traveling for an hour, the mid-level demon beasts encountered two, which was obviously much lower than the frequency of encounters on the periphery.
"Be careful, there are groups of demon beasts in front!" Generally, Lin Xue would not easily send out a reminder, but at this time, it was suddenly issued, obviously the form in front was a little grim.
"What's wrong Lin Xue?" Shen Mu didn't notice this, he thought that with the sensing ability of the light system, he shouldn't be weak. That's how it is used in the metaverse. Anger is the natural enemy of the light system.
"There are Qingfeng wolves foraging for food in front of them, and more than a dozen of them are besieging the two liger beasts. Lin Xue said lightly.
"Can you even sense the type of demon beast?" Shen Mu was shocked by Lin Xue's ability, "What level of demon beast is the Lion Tiger Beast? ”
"Of course it's not weak, the liger beast is a mid-level and high-level demon beast, and it won't lose much to ordinary demon generals in terms of aggressiveness. ”
"This dares to start, it is worthy of a group of demon beasts, it's a bit scary. ”
"Demon beasts generally don't cultivate to advance, unless they are in some places where they are already rich in spiritual energy, such as the flame demon beasts in the volcano, and they rely on devouring flames to advance. Devouring other demon beasts is one of the ways to advance, and it is also the choice of the vast majority of demon beasts. Teacher Lin Xue gave another lecture.
Shen Mu accepted Lin Xue's respectful teachings and nodded frequently. "We bypassed the battle ahead and headed east. ”
The formation changed following Shen Mu's dragon head. "Brother Mu, has the mission target appeared?"
"Not yet, and no trace has been found. Shen Mu answered Cheng Yanyue's question.
"Why don't you take a break, I've been running for almost three hours, and I can't feel my legs!" Cheng Yanyue's voice came from behind again.
"Okay, Huang Shao should be about the same, then let's rest for fifteen minutes, Xu Yuyi, you cultivate to the highest, go up to the tree and stand guard, and pass on the situation as soon as possible." ”
Xu semantic command.
Xu Yuyan consciously helped everyone clear out a vacant lot, and everyone sat in the middle, Huang Yixuan leaned against a tree, and Cheng Yanyue and Lin Xue leaned on Shen Mu on the left and right.
"I have to go inside, the ratchet wolf is a more advanced existence than the Qingfeng wolf, and it will only live in a more internal area," Lin Xue saw that Shen Mu had been looking for so long and there was no trace of him, so he gave him a little confidence.
Shen Mu patted his head, it was really a book to be used to hate less, such a basic common sense was forgotten, it seems that Lin Xue should have found out when she reminded Qingfeng Wolf before.
"Mm-hmm, I forgot about it. The team will continue north until we encounter at least one demon general. "Shen Mu has already begun to draw inferences, if they are also low-level demon beasts, they are all in the area of low-level demon beasts, and the level of demon beasts is actually a key factor affecting the regional distribution. Of course, the demon general will not mix with these middle-level demon beasts, and it is estimated that he will not be able to find the ratchet wolf when he runs to the east coast like the first way to find it.
There are obviously no experienced senior or scholarly characters in the team, and they are also the same as Shen Mu, and they realize that they are moving in the wrong direction.
The further north the Cangbei Forest goes, the more dangerous it becomes, at first there were mostly mid-level and low-level demon beasts, but after going north for a long time, middle-level and middle-level demon beasts gradually began to appear.
The team began to struggle to move forward, especially in the afternoon, when they encountered an iron herd, there were more than a dozen mid-level and middle-level iron bulls chasing after the team, this kind of demon beast has a very strong defensive ability against the fighting spirit, not to mention Shen Mu's group of martial artists, even the full force of the low-level martial arts could not hurt their roots. However, fortunately, there were two middle-level spirit masters in Shen Mu's team, and under the ice and fire attack, more than a dozen middle-level demon beasts were finally dissolved.
"Don't rest yet, let's find a place to rest nearby, it's not early, and it will be dark in about an hour. We're going to take advantage of this time to set up camp for the night. You all know how dangerous it is. Shen Mu saw that Cheng Yanyue and the others were all kneeling in place, and immediately reminded loudly.
On this day, while advancing to the north, the consumption was indeed very huge, and the other people didn't say anything, Cheng Yanyue was not seen, and several times directly proposed to rest.
"Yue'er, hold on, this side is crisscrossed by land, as long as we can find a cave or a strong mountain wall, even if it is a big tree, we can spend tonight safely. "Shen Mu has nothing to do with this little Lori, I'm really afraid that she won't be able to walk at the critical moment.
"Okay, then I'll hold on for another ten minutes, my legs are about to break, and you see I'm hurt," said little Lori, who seemed to have a thousand grievances, pointing to a mosquito bite on her arm.
"Mmmm, I promise ten minutes!" Shen Mu was speechless in his heart, but he had no choice but to rely on her, otherwise tonight's difficulties would be beyond everyone's imagination.
The emperor lived up to his wishes, and finally in the tenth minute, Shen Mu found a long-abandoned mountain bear nest.
"This nest is quite big enough for a few of us in it, but it's clear that the nest seems to be partially collapsed, and there's a big hole in the top of the inside, which I'll fix later. Yu Yan, you and Huang Shao are responsible for cleaning the food. Xu Yuyi made firewood and sat on the bonfire, and the moon lit the fire. Let's use the tent to set up the cave in a simple way, and tonight the boys will live outside the cave and let the girls sleep inside. Shen Mu simply ordered everyone's tasks and immediately took the lead in action.
"Xiao Mu, do you know how to arrange it?" Lin Xue reminded in a low voice when she saw that Shen Mu was about to climb up.
"Well, don't worry, Lin Xue, I promise to spend it safely tonight. Shen Mu held up his package and said.
There are some rocks on this abandoned nest except for a big hole, and I don't know how this big hole was made. Shen Mu cut some wood nearby, trapped the four of them together, and then spread them flat on top of the big hole, and after transporting the fighting energy, he moved some stones and pressed them, and finally covered them with leaves and dirt. It took nearly half an hour.
"Whew, the project is huge, but it's finally done, and then sprinkle insect repellent powder and it's over. Shen Mu took out two bottles of insect repellent powder from his baggage and sprinkled them all on the top of the cave lair, this powder has a pungent smell, which can not only be used as an insect repellent, but also cover the surrounding smell, so that some demon beasts that rely on their sense of smell to hunt are not easy to find the existence of humans. Cheap and easy to use, it is a must-have for almost every mercenary.
Jumping from the top of the cave when he was done, the bonfire was already lit, crackling, and surrounded by tall piles of wood.
Brother Mu, come to barbecue, today's beef has been cut and waiting for you, hurry up!" Cheng Yanyue diligently brought two plates of beef, and after a closer look, they were carefully skewered with wooden skewers, and the plate on which the beef was put was also cut out of the whole piece of wood.
"It's quite exquisite, hehe, okay, at most two skewers with fighting spirit!" When Shen Mu said two skewers, Xu Yuyan's face was obviously a little worse, and he had no choice but to change his words immediately, "Then four skewers, no more, otherwise how can I keep vigil!"
The two women looked at each other and smiled.
The delicacy of this vindictive barbecue has nothing to do with the boys, "Brother Mu, is there a way to barbecue meat with a water-based spell, you want to find a way." Huang Yixuan said sourly.
"Get out!" Shen Mu faintly said a word from his mouth and gave it to Huang Yixuan. It made everyone laugh.
The first shift of tonight's vigil is Xu Yuyi and Huang Yixuan, and the second shift is Shen Mu. It's all because of the barbecue's fault, Shen Mudou consumed some of his fighting energy, Xu Yuyi was worried about his situation, took the initiative to change the guard, and pulled Huang Yixuan in.
Shen Mu and Lin Xue were in a tent, and the others were not surprised, the first half of the night was relatively calm, and Shen Mu in the shallow cultivation did not receive any news of the invasion of demon beasts, and he was not woken up until the shift change time in the early morning of the night.
"Brother Mu, it's your place, let's go to sleep, the vigil is simply tormenting, and the nerves are tense for half the night. Huang Yixuan obviously rarely stays up late, reflecting the essence of his eldest young master.
"Huang Yixuan, you two come here to sleep, I'll go out to accompany Xiaomu. Lin Xue just dropped a word, got up and walked out of the tent.
It's not a good habit to have a place not to sleep, and two big men don't mind sleeping in a tent, especially Huang Yixuan, who doesn't practice anymore, and there is a snoring sound after just 5 minutes.
"Lin Xue, listen to it, the little young master of the God of Wealth Group is still snoring when he sleeps, and he has no quality. Shen Mu unexpectedly saw Lin Xue coming, and casually found a topic to say.
"Well, I heard that, but I think the deputy head of the Fortuna Regiment helped a group of students keep vigil, and the news is more interesting, isn't it? Lin Xue made a rare joke.
"Hey, Lin Xue, I didn't expect you to joke too, you see if you usually keep a straight face, so there is no wrinkle on your face. ”
"I just don't want to talk to people who aren't interesting. ”
An hour has passed since the two of them said a word, and Lin Xue was also a little sleepy, leaning on Shen Mu's arms and falling asleep, "Xiaomu, remember to sprinkle insect repellent powder, I sensed that there were no powerful demon beasts carrying anger in the surrounding a few kilometers, so I slept first." ”
Shen Mu looked at the beautiful woman who was already asleep in his arms, but he still nodded. He will not be sloppy at all when it comes to everyone's safety, and it is still early to rearrange the insect repellent powder, but vigilance needs to be present at all times.
It didn't take long for the trees not far away to make a rustling sound, and Shen Mu's ears had already heard it, but there was no anger in his senses.
"What's the matter? is there something wrong with my ears!" Shen Mu said to himself, but the situation did not disappear because of Shen Mu's assumptions, and the sound of the salad salad was closer.
