The first winter snow had already fallen, and there was still a layer of snow in the dark corners of the West Side that had not yet melted.

It was obviously noon, but there was a gust of wind blowing in the alley, which made people shiver.

Xue Yi and Zhuo Ting hugged each other with flesh, allowing Zhao Lei and Li Buzheng to eat dog food all the way.

Wei Jiang looked at the place where he once lived, and he was inevitably a little sad.

After all, he had spent a period of hunger and cold in this dilapidated area.

Zhao Lei was also very emotional, the last time he came to the Western District, it was also winter.

Coming here after a year is a bit of a revisit.

The speed of the four moves was very fast, but it took only a few dozen minutes to reach the westernmost security line in the western district.

Zhao Lei didn't have the courage to come here, nor did he have the strength to come here, but now he finally has the capital to come and take a look, and he is very satisfied.

Sure enough, as Xiao Liu said, in Zhao Lei's soul world, the security line at the end of the West District has long been dilapidated, like a dandelion in the wind, as if it will shatter at the slightest touch.

If there is any danger, the first to suffer is definitely the West End.

Fortunately, it has long been uninhabited.

"Everyone, step out of the safety line, our mission has officially begun, everyone must be careful and vigilant, although there are some hibernating beasts in the winter wilderness, it is still very dangerous. Zhuo Ting said solemnly.

Everyone nodded, and when they got out of the safety line, there was nothing to deter these strange beasts.

In the field, everything depends on yourself, even if it is a teammate, there is no way to give support in the first place.

Xue Yi is a battle maniac of the fire system, Zhuo Ting is a healer of the water system, and Li Buzheng is a goat-type Inhuman, this mutated form looks very chicken, but in fact, it is ...... It's really chicken.

The first three are all real intermediate players, while Zhao Lei is camouflaging his level.

On the surface: an intermediate player in the spiritual department, specializing in reconnaissance techniques, a third-rate level, an intermediate awakened wind system, and an ordinary little scout who has just trained to the third stage.

Actually: Elementary fourth-stage wind player, earth-type fire system, thunder system junior full cultivation, with a sense of soul, cultivation is barely a middle school student.

"The firepower is all up to me and Tingting, Xiaobai is responsible for observing the surrounding situation, if there is any situation, we must be notified immediately. As for Comrade Lao Crooked, you are responsible for turning into a sheep monster......" Xue Yi really couldn't think of any fighting methods for Li Buzheng.

However, people have also practiced to the intermediate level, and it is not good if they don't give some face.

"No problem, my ability is that my sense of smell is more sensitive, which can cooperate with Xiaobai to investigate. ”

"And my mid-level goat form is very agile, but its combat effectiveness is a little weaker. ”

Li Buzheng scratched his head embarrassedly.

Xue Yi stretched out his big hand, pressed it on the shoulders of Zhao Lei and Li Buzheng, and said earnestly: "Don't worry, follow Brother Xue and eat four meals a day." ”

Zhao Lei and Li Buzheng looked at each other and smiled, and nodded silently.

"Let's go!" Xue Yi, as a combatant, was the first to step out of the safety line, which was regarded as a morale boost, and Zhao Lei and Li Buzheng and others quickly followed.

Zhao Lei, who was in charge of the investigation, quickly took over the position of the head sheep and was responsible for opening the soul sense for large-scale detection.

This was the first time Zhao Lei had entered such a dangerous wilderness.

The one with Mr. Du doesn't count.

Without the protection of the big guy, Zhao Lei disguised himself as an intermediate to fish in troubled waters in the team, which lowered the team's combat effectiveness a little, so the danger factor this time was quite high.

From the first step out of the safety line, Zhao Lei felt a completely different atmosphere from the safety line.

It's the silence, the desolation of the wilderness.

As far as the eye can see, there are some dead weeds growing here and there on the plains, a few bare old trees shivering under the cold wind, and there is no trace of any life in the open field.

However, behind this desolation, there is a lot of murderous intent hidden.

The moment Zhao Lei spread his soul sense, he captured the breath of more than a dozen strange beasts within a range of five hundred meters.

These cunning creatures are hiding underground, but their breath is relatively weak, and they are not their target.

However, as a team that only has the ability to attack, you must not ignore these fierce beasts hidden underground, otherwise you will be attacked and killed if you are not careful.

Every eighty meters, Zhao Lei paused, told a few people in the team where there was danger, and told them to pay attention to Jio.

At first, Xue Yi didn't believe it, but after this guy shot twice, he found that there was indeed something hiding underground in the place Zhao Lei pointed to.

"With your little white, you are worthy of being a scout. Zhuo Ting gave a thumbs up in admiration, she was able to detect danger from such a distance, obviously Zhao Lei's level was an excellent level in their hearts.

Zhao Lei also breathed a sigh of relief, his identity as an intermediate scout was confirmed, and sure enough, he was still a prostitute.

Li Buzheng also opened his phoenix eyes with some praise, glanced at Zhao Lei slightly, and expressed his appreciation very much.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is a little difficult to find blood beasts in the plain where we are now, according to my previous investigation, the general blood beasts are distributed in the forest, near the river, we had better go that way. Zhao Lei pointed to the southwest, where the river flows into the southern suburbs.

Zhao Lei didn't do much homework, in order to complete the blood-killing beast plan, Zhao Lei began to investigate the terrain outside the city and the living habits of the blood-beast a month in advance, just to disguise himself as a scout.

"Listen to you. Li Buzheng said.

Xue Yi on the side was thoughtful, then nodded and said, "What the old crooked said is right. ”

Zhao Lei had a black line on his face and continued to lead the team to the southwest.

The mountains in the distance seem to be close to you under the clear winter sky, but the distance is at least 100 kilometers.

At the foot of the mountain is a meandering river, glistening golden in the sun.

The great river that zigzags slowly flows towards the southern part of the relict city.

Everyone stood on the hillside, looking at the forest in front of them, and they all raised their vigilance.

The forest seemed dead silent, as if there was no sign of life.

But the quieter the place, the greater the danger.

Wei Jiang also raised his head from Zhuo Ting's arms, as if he felt something.

Zhao Lei pretended to close his eyes, pretending to observe the situation, but in fact, Zhao Lei had already completed the investigation ten seconds ago.

There are definitely blood beasts in the forest, but they are not in his range.

"Everyone, be careful, and then listen to me. Zhao Lei had the tone of an old detective, imitating the same thing.

Li Buzheng nodded: "Listen to you." ”

Xue Yi on the side nodded cooperatively, "The old crooked one is right." ”

[Are you two talking about cross talk? 】

Zhuo Ting twisted Xue Yi's arm and whispered, "Be serious!"

The bearded man smiled, his eyes flashed with a small fire, and he walked to the front and walked side by side with Zhao Lei.

The soil of the forest is slightly wet, and the fallen leaves and melting snow have soaked the ground, leaving many footprints of living creatures on it.

Zhao Lei followed these feet

As we go deeper, we move at a slower and slower pace.

There was a strange stench in the air.

Resembles the carcass of an animal.

But it's winter, and there was a heavy snowfall the other day, apparently the source of this stench died a few days ago.

Everyone covered their noses and frowned, and they all remembered the same thing, there was indeed blood beast activity here.

The corpse of a giant deer lay quietly in the fallen leaves, and the death was extremely tragic.

The severed neck hung from the old tree beside it, and the deer's belly was torn open, and its internal organs were ripped everywhere, but none of them were eaten.

"What kind of creature is this...... It's cruel. Zhuo Ting's lips were a little pale, and even if an old crusader who had been hunting for a long time saw the scene, he couldn't help but shudder.

"What a brute!" Xue Yi scolded a little angrily.

Although the giant deer is also a top-level fierce beast, this creature is not aggressive, and it is a friendly type with humans.

Li Buzheng wrinkled his nose and began to smell the air.

All kinds of smells mingled together, and he kept playing with the "lines" of these smells in the air, separating them one by one.

Dirt, fallen leaves, carrion, feces, fishy smell......

Zhao Lei looked at some less obvious footprints on the ground, and he was also pondering what kind of creature the murderer was.

After a long time, Zhao Lei found a wisp of inconspicuous white hair on the ground, stuck in the snow that had not yet melted.

Li Buzheng also seemed to smell something.

The two said in unison, "Gibbon Demon Ape!"

The two looked at each other and nodded to each other, making sure they had guessed correctly.

Xue Yi and Zhuo Ting were also quite surprised, they hadn't come out for so long, and they had met such a fierce guy for the first time.

"Brother Xue, have you dealt with it?" Zhao Lei asked with some concern.

The Gibbon Ape is one of the more famous creatures among the Blood Beasts.

The ferocity is on par with that of a terrifying tiger.

Because it is a primate beast, its intelligence is not ordinarily high.
