Chapter Forty-Eight: Into the Wild
The recruitment of the Aurora Demon Hunting Team ended quickly, and Li Xiaomo was lucky, today was the last day of their recruitment.
After the recruitment ended, the two sides agreed on a meeting time, and then left everyone a day to prepare, and then disbanded and left.
Li Xiaomo went home, and when her parents learned the news that Li Xiaomo was going to leave tomorrow, their eyes were full of reluctance. The naughty sister pouted even more, staring at Li Xiaomo without blinking.
The family had a reunion dinner, and Li Xiaomo went to bed early.
He didn't really have much to prepare, so he brought some first-aid medicine, some salt, and some sealed matches. The rest, with Li Xiaomo's previous survival experience in the wild, can be completely handled.
Of course, the short knife that Li Xiaomo prepared before could be regarded as handy.
After scattering the belongings in the three small pockets on his body, Li Xiaomo prepared a sturdy mountaineering bag and stored a few changes of clothes, which was completely finished.
The next day, the agreed time was to leave at 6 o'clock in the morning, Li Xiaomo tiptoed up, not wanting to disturb her parents' rest. But as soon as he went out, his parents had prepared breakfast and were waiting for him.
Li Xiaomo smiled and sat down for a family of three to have breakfast. As soon as she took a bite of steaming dumplings, her sister Li Xiaole ran out with red and swollen eyes, and she was still holding a palm-sized doll in her arms.
"Li Xiaomo, give it to you!"
The little girl stuffed the doll to Li Xiaomo, and Li Xiaomo rubbed her head with a smile.
"Stinky girl, no manners, call brother."
Turning his gaze to the little doll, it was the appearance of a little girl, but the workmanship was very rough, and it looked like the craftsmanship of his sister. Looking at Li Xiaole with a smile, Li Xiaomo deliberately said:
"This little pig is doing a good job, it's very decent."
The little girl was originally a little reluctant, but when she heard Li Xiaomo's words, she suddenly opened her teeth and claws to fight with Li Xiaomo. What piglets? This is obviously herself she made in front of the mirror, why did she become a piglet?
Glaring at Li Xiaomo angrily, the little girl snorted twice and ran into the room in a huff.
Li Xiaomo laughed, looking at the energy value that did not move at all, Li Xiaomo knew that her sister was not angry, but she didn't like parting and pretended to be angry.
How could it not be the case with you? Gags and teasing my sister, isn't it also to alleviate her reluctance?
In a real sense, this is the first time Li Xiaomo has left home, and it will last at least a month. Before leaving, Li Xiaomo told her parents that if she didn't have time to come back, they could help her apply for any school, and she could go to any school anyway.
If you say this at home, and if you say it in front of outsiders, you will definitely be able to harvest a wave of full energy value.
The meeting place was in the north of Qingyi County, and when Li Xiaomo arrived, there were already more than a dozen people there. Most of them are young people, and Li Xiaomo only knows Peng Hao and Ye Wenlong, brothers and sisters.
Peng Hao was talking to someone at the moment, it was an uncle in his 30s, with a kind face and always a smile on his face. I saw him nodding his head from time to time, and occasionally smiling and scratching his head.
Seeing Li Xiaomo coming, Ye Wenlong took the initiative to come forward to say hello. Ye Wenxin had a cold face and didn't even look at Li Xiaomo.
Li Xiaomo didn't bother to pay attention to this girl with eyes above the top, he looked around and asked Ye Wenlong strangely.
"Brother Ye, why are they all young people? It seems that the oldest is the only one who is the uncle! ”
Li Xiaomo was referring to the middle-aged man who was talking to Peng Hao.
Ye Wenlong nodded and said:
"That one is called Lin Chen, and he is the vice captain of the Aurora Demon Hunting Squad. The Aurora Demon Hunter Team was preceded by three senior demon hunters, who had always been a five-person establishment. However, after hearing that Brother Peng wanted to go deep into the forest to hunt, the other three refused the operation. That's why a group of newcomers were recruited to fill the gap in the team. ”
Li Xiaomo nodded, and then her expression became strange again, looking like she wanted to say something.
Seeing Li Xiaomo like this, Ye Wenlong smiled.
"You must be wondering why all the young people in their twenties are recruited, right?"
Seeing Li Xiaomo nodding, Ye Wenlong continued to speak:
"The profession of demon hunter is a high-risk profession, and it is to tie your head to the waistband of your pants to make a living. So, the mortality rate in this profession is also high. The best age for a demon hunter is to be in his twenties and thirties, with a lot of energy and room for improvement. In fact, most of the teams that entered the depths of the Demon Beast Forest were composed of young people in their twenties. You know why? ”
"I don't know!"
"If you are in your twenties and dare to fight, if you are lucky and get a second-order demon beast crystal nucleus, then you can try to impact the second-sequence transcendent. Once you become a second-sequence transcendent, your identity is naturally different, and you don't have to live this kind of bloody life. Of course, there are also the kind of madmen who like to fight with demon beasts, but in the team of demon hunters, at least in the team here in Qingyi County, there are still relatively few such people. ”
Li Xiaomo understood and understood the reason. In fact, those demon hunters are planning to fight for a vote with their young capital, and if they are lucky, they will directly become second-order transcendents, and then they will not have to work so hard, they will go back directly to attach or do some small business, and the identity of second-sequence transcendents is enough.
In Li Xiaomo's impression, it seems that only the principal of Qingyi High School is a second-order transcendent, and the others really haven't heard of it.
Seeing Li Xiaomo's expression, Ye Wenlong smiled, and Ye Wenxin snorted beside him.
"Some people had better not hold back, it's too late to regret now, if you really want to enter the Demon Beast Forest, it's not so easy to come back."
Li Xiaomo didn't even look at Ye Wenxin, and muttered casually.
"Hey, that day, I'm going to find a series of transcendents to move my muscles and bones, I haven't exercised for the past few days, and I'm itching all over!"
Ye Wenxin was choked and had nothing to say, snorted, turned his head and walked to other places.
Li Xiaomo looked at the increased 50 energy value, I really don't know where I offended this girl, why do I keep targeting myself?
Ye Wenlong looked at his sister with a smile, then at Li Xiaomo, shook his head and walked to other places.
As soon as 6 o'clock arrived, the seventeen hunters were assembled, and everyone took a minibus to the northern outskirts of Qingyi County.
Qingyi County is bordered by Donghua City to the south and the Demon Beast Forest to the north.
The car drove for three hours, and then Li Xiaomo saw a line of defense. The defensive line is all made of barbed wire, and at intervals, there are sentinels and monitoring stations to monitor the area.
Li Xiaomo has read the relevant content, although demon beasts will not take the initiative to attack the human world, but occasionally there will still be demon beasts breaking into human gathering places. Therefore, the establishment of a defensive line and the garrison garrison are to prevent this from happening.
Li Xiaomo looked around, and then noticed that occasionally a team of uniformed guards patrolled past to ensure the stability and safety of the defense line.
Soon, the car drove to the checkpoint, and after verifying their identities, the demon hunters really stepped into the wild.
