After a bitter battle before, everyone was exhausted, especially the recruits who had just enlisted in the army, who were also lying on the ground at this time, and even barely had the strength to breathe.

Seeing that everyone was injured and tired, Huo Yingqi had no motivation to move on. In the end, he had to arrange the soldiers on duty and let everyone have a good rest.

After nearly half a night of tossing, there was a sudden opportunity to relax, everyone was drowsy, even the soldiers on duty were irresistible to the brain-striking, nodding their heads and dozing.

In the early morning of the next day, with the crisp sound of birdsong, the sensitive Huo Yingqi and others were the first to wake up.

The first thing he did when he opened his eyes was that Huo Yingqi set his eyes on He Yifei who was placed beside him. However, at this moment, it was empty, how could there be a trace of He Yifei's shadow?

"Something is wrong!"

Huo Yingqi shouted in panic, and his voice immediately attracted the attention of Captain Meng and the others.

"Boss Huo, what's wrong?"

Captain Meng saw Huo Yingqi's panicked face and hurriedly rushed to him.

"This ...... This is Boss He...... Where have you been?"

His eyes swept over Huo Yingqi's side, and Captain Ke had already discovered He Yifei's disappearance.

"No, so many people are here, how could Boss He disappear......?

Captain Meng was also puzzled for a while, but after a short thought, he looked up at the sky.

"Could it be that a bird took Boss He away?"

Looking up at Captain Meng's gaze, Captain Ke had already casually expressed Captain Meng's guess.

"No way! If there were birds attacking, the sound of the wind would be enough to wake me up! But I didn't even notice it that night!"

Huo Yingqi shook his head and denied the speculation of the two, he still believed in his own perception.

"Although the ground is soft, there is nothing abnormal about it! It's strange! For no reason, a person will evaporate out of thin air?"

Captain Meng turned his attention to the clearing again, and he stomped on it several times to make sure there were no holes in the ground.

"Brothers, let's search around and see if there is any trace of the old ten!"

Seeing that everyone was awakened, Huo Yingqi had to turn to everyone for help.

Hearing Huo Yingqi's arrangement, everyone also got up in a hurry, and in order to avoid accidents, everyone also formed a group of threes and twos, cooperating with each other to explore the surrounding mountains and forests.

"What are you looking for?"

Just as everyone was about to enter the dense forest, He Yifei walked out from behind an ancient tree not far away, and on his shoulder, he was carrying an adult forest deer.

"Old ten, are you alright?"

Huo Yingqi saw He Yifei appear, and his hanging heart finally landed, but the next moment, he began to question again.

"yes! I woke up before dawn. I saw that everyone was exhausted, so I didn't bother you. No, I just hunted a forest deer to replenish your strength!"

He Yifei said as he handed the Lin Lu on his shoulder to the few recruits who came up.

"Old ten, do you feel anything strange about your body?"

Just glancing at the recruits who were about to deal with Lin Lu, Huo Yingqi withdrew his gaze, he gently patted He Yifei's shoulder, and asked patiently.

I just feel like I'm sleeping soundly, and when I wake up, I'm full of strength, and I don't feel any discomfort!"

He Yifei said, swinging a few times with his hand, showing his abundant physical strength.

"Monster, this guy looks like a nobody!"

Captain Meng and Captain Ke couldn't help but glance at each other when they saw He Yifei's performance, and from their expressions, they both saw each other's hearts.

"It's okay! You're okay, let's all rest assured!"

Huo Yingqi saw that He Yifei was in good spirits, so he just smiled casually and didn't say anything.

"By the way, Brother Jiu, the second brother is still waiting for us, we have to hurry up and fill our stomachs, so that we can hurry up to support the second brother!"

After He Yifei finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the recruits, urging them to deal with Lin Lu as soon as possible.

"Grab a fire, you guys, go pick some berries!"

Thinking of Chu Madsheng, Huo Yingqi also woke up instantly, and in a hurry, he also began to make arrangements.

Hastily filling his stomach, Huo Yingqi led the group of soldiers to search in the direction guided by He Yifei.

With venison on the stomach, everyone's physical strength has been greatly restored, although everyone's faces are still slightly tired, but it no longer affects normal movements.

Along the way, everyone also carefully searched for those conspicuous ancient trees, looking for the marks left by Chu Madsheng. At noon on the day, Huo Yingqi and the others finally caught up with Chu Madsheng's footsteps.

"Brothers, are you all right?"

After the two sides converged, Chu Madsheng was most concerned about the safety of the soldiers.

"Everyone was injured to some extent, but fortunately there were no life-threatening injuries. ”

Huo Yingqi glanced back at the people behind him, and reported very succinctly.

"In that case, let's continue to explore this mountain forest. Whether you find it or not, at sunset, let's return to Sifang City!"

Chu Madsheng said, raising his hand and pointing at the dense forest in front of him.

"Second brother, those guys must be hiding something in such a big move, the battle is over, why not take down their lair in one go?"

Hearing Chu Madsheng's arrangement, Huo Yingqi was immediately puzzled, he couldn't figure it out, why was Chu Madsheng so hasty?

"One afternoon is enough time for us to clear out this mountain forest! Further, we will arrive at the territory of the Great Demon Ape, and they will never allow any unfamiliar forces to be stationed in their territory. So, there's no need for us to search there!"

Chu Madsheng, who is very clear about the surrounding terrain, patiently explained his decision to everyone.

"However, among those people, there is obviously the existence of beast soul warriors. If they can control the steel pincer tarantula for their own use, can't they control those mighty demon apes?"

Thinking of the previous beast soul warrior, Huo Yingqi also put forward his own guess.

"Impossible! The strength of the Great Demon Ape is by no means comparable to those steel-pincer tarantulas, and it is not easy to control them. Even if those people have the ability to control the Mighty Demon Ape, do you think that with us, the remnants of the army, we can fight hard against the Mighty Demon Ape Clan?"

Chu Madsheng glanced at the people he had brought out, and shook his head without confidence.

"Yes, the steel pincer tarantula alone almost wiped out our entire army, and if we really face the mighty demon ape clan, I'm afraid we will die without a place to bury!"

Captain Meng recognized Chu Madsheng's decision very much, and he nodded lightly, expressing his opinion.

"Okay, brothers, whether it succeeds or not, it depends on our creation!"

In the end, it was Chu Madsheng who waved his hand and made up his mind. After that, he began to divide everyone into different groups and explained to them in detail what they needed to search.
