On this morning, the breeze was gentle and the birds were singing.

City gates.

Those who set off with He Xiaoduo were Dai Zhong, Wen Yanxin, four sixth-order guards, the team of force, the team of Min, and the three of Yun, Long, and He. Because there was only one woman in the team, He Xiaoduo, it was quite inconvenient on the road, so He Xiaoduo's personal girl Ziyan also had to go together, a total of thirty-one people.

Wen Yanxin looked at the bloated team, his brows furrowed.

He Xiaoduo asked, "What did Uncle Wen find?"

Wen Yan said in his heart: "Go deep into the reckless mountains and forests, and it is right to have more people." But if there are too many, it will inevitably be a burden to take care of one or the other. ”

He Xiaoduo said: "Then the two guards of Li and Min, don't you bring them?"

"Although the single combat power of the Force Team and the Min Team is slightly lacking, they not only know how to cooperate in formations, but also have the nirvana skills of team fusion skills and combination skills, which are not in vain compared to the role that two or three seventh-order soul emperors can play. With more peace of mind. ”

"It seems that only four guards have been left. ”

"The main duty of the guards is to protect the county lord, six guards, leaving two, it is already the upper limit, all of them are left, it is absolutely inappropriate. ”

He Xiaoduo thought so, and said, "Then who can the rest of the people be screened out?"

Wen Yan wanted to speak again and again, shook his head, but still couldn't help but say nothing.

"You mean Yun Tianjia?"

Wen Yanxin nodded and said, "With all due respect, the county lord, his cultivation is too low, and it doesn't mean much to be placed in the team." ”

He Xiaoduo thought for a while and said, "What Uncle Wen said is good, but it doesn't make much difference if there is one more person or one less. Besides, Long Yuandong and He Dali are friendly with him, if they don't bring him, it will chill their hearts. ”

"In that case, let's get in the car and go, shall we?"

He Xiaoduo nodded.

Wen Yanxin waved his hand and said, "Get in the car!"

The three of Yun, Long, and He greeted them by squeezing their eyebrows, jumped into the carriage, sat cross-legged, recuperated, and said no more.

In early spring, the snow has not yet completely melted on both sides of the road, on top of the dead grass.

A group of more than ten carriages traveled in a circuitous way, rushed to the mill wind outlet at noon, had a full meal, took a short rest, and then advanced to the southwest trail. After walking a short distance, the shrubs gradually became denser, and as soon as the car passed, insects and flying squirrels were frightened.

In the evening, when he came to an open area, Dong Cripple, who was at the front, pulled the carriage and said, "Further on, it is the outer edge of the Demon Flame Forest, whether to go or stop, you have to ask the county lord." ”

Yun Tianjia jumped out of the car first and said, "I shouldn't be able to leave." ”

Sure enough, the carriages stopped one after another, and He Xiaoduo led Wen Yanxin and Dai Zhong up to a hill, looked around carefully, and said, "It's getting late, so it's not suitable to enter the forest." Today, I will stay here overnight, bury the pot to cook, and camp around the car. ”

Dong Cripple and Qian Leopard are both veterans of marching and camping, leading the two people to nail the cart and feed the horses, carry water and dig stoves, and are busy.

Long and He led people to pull up tents.

After setting up camp, it was already dark.

Everyone gathered around, and Wen Yan said in his heart: "The overall shape of the Demon Flame Forest is like a nebula vortex, spanning the entire Qinglong Continent. Its central area, spitting fire and flames, is inexhaustible all year round, so it gets the name of 'magic flame'. There are endless high-level soul beasts there, dangerous and abnormal, and there are few human tracks.

The outermost mountain range of the Demon Flame Forest is just like a circular gear, the wheel ridge runs through the north and south of the Qinglong Continent, from top to bottom, covering cold temperate, temperate, subtropical, tropical climates, with a diameter of more than 8,000 miles, connecting the Black Water Country in the north and the Tail Fire Country in the south, completely separating the Xijin Kingdom from the rest of the countries.

Each tooth on the gear is a branch, stretching and multitude, deep and vast. The two largest branches are important references for the demarcation of national boundaries between the Tuhao Empire and the Crescent Empire, and between the Tuhao Empire and the Zhongming Empire.

This time, we are mainly operating on the outermost ridge in the western part of the Demon Flame Forest, and we only need to hunt the target soul beast and then go home, without entering the central hinterland. ”

Long Yuandong said: "We have so many people, just to hunt a fifth-order soul beast, isn't it too much of a fuss?"

Wen Yan said solemnly: "What you said is to the point. According to the instructions of the shield lord, the main purpose of the county lord's entry into the mountain this time is of course to hunt soul beasts to advance to the rank, but there is a more important purpose, which is to exercise the county lord's ability to survive in the wild. Otherwise, we only need to send people into the mountains to hunt soul beasts, and there is no need for the county lord to personally come forward to take risks. Therefore, after entering the forest, I, the acting general, and the four guards will not take action unless they encounter something that endangers the life of the county lord. All difficulties must be settled by yourselves. ”

He Xiaoduo added with a smile: "Call me to see, it's not so much to train me, but to train the two pro-guards." No matter how strong I am alone, my strength is limited after all. Only when everyone gets stronger, I am the most worry-free. ”

After hearing this, everyone was shocked.

Originally, I thought that with Dai Zhong, Wen Yanxin, and the four guards in charge, going to hunt a soul beast in the mountains was just a matter of being easy and easy to capture. If it is fast, it will be ten days, and if it is slow, it will be half a month, and it will be full of loads. But if they don't make a move, it's a bit of a problem.

In the deep mountains, fifth-order, sixth-order, and even seventh-order soul beasts abound. In the process of searching for the target soul beast, it is natural that they will encounter other soul beasts, and in case they encounter a group of high-level soul beasts at one time, although they have many people, they may not be able to handle it.

Wen Yan said in his heart: "The county lord is an emotional attribute. We went to the mountains this time to find emotional attribute soul beasts, soul beasts of this attribute are particularly rare, and there are even fewer rank matches. If we are unlucky, we may not be able to come across one if we go around the mountains for half a year. All in all, the mountains are treacherous and changeable, hunting soul beasts, half by luck, half by ability, there must be hardships to eat, everyone must know in their hearts!"

Long Yuandong said with a smile: "Tracking soul beasts is my forte, as long as I meet it, it won't be able to leave." ”

He Xiaoduo teased: "So you still have this ability?"

"Of course. Actually, I know a lot of things, you don't know!"

"Do you know how to read?"

Long Yuandong was embarrassed, and said: "Not much, there are so many dozen or twenty!"

He Xiaoduo giggled, and after a while, Zhengse said: "When I go back to the promotion, I will find a teacher for you and the fat man, and read some books honestly!"

He vigorously shrank behind Yun Tianjia, pretending not to hear.

After dawn, Wen Yanxin instructed Dong Cripple and Qian Leopard to stay on the spot, thinking that they would respond.

Yun Tianjia saw that Dong and Qian agreed casually, but they were not vigilant, and he was deeply worried in his heart, and quietly reminded: "Brother Dong, this place is close to the Demon Flame Forest, don't be careless. It is best to send people on duty day and night, open posts and secret sentry, and be prepared. ”

Qian Leopard smiled: "We have more than ten cars and horses, and twenty strong men, what can we do? Don't worry about it!"

He Xiaoduo overheard the conversation between the two and said, "Uncle Wen, Yun Tianjia has a point, it's better for us to leave two guards here to cope with all changes." ”
