Cheney's words made a lot of sense, and Leon himself had already thought of it, so after the two hunter leaders left, he fell into deep thought.

There is still a distance of about a thousand meters from the deepest part of the Black Forest, and when you get there, you are close to the edge of the Great Wasteland, and it can be said that from now on, every next step may encounter unexpected dangers.

Although his companions never questioned his decision, and the mountain people were willing to give their lives for him at any time, as a leader, the young man had to take responsibility for the trust that these people placed in him, so he must not act rashly when faced with an unknown situation full of dangers, and at least be prepared.

Of course, Leon is not conceited enough to think that he can complete every action at zero cost, but if he can strive to complete it at the lowest cost, it can be regarded as a manifestation of his own ability.

"Of course you have to go, but now the two most important combat skills are on cooldown, and the Immortal Will should have four days before it can be used again, and the horn of the mountain people will have to be ...... in at least ten days."

Li Ang was thinking in his mind that if these two combat skills were cooled down, then he was confident that he would be able to take these people to the edge of the Great Wasteland safely, but it was a bit difficult to say now. Thinking back to the battle in the swamp, although they were all ordinary swamp creatures, there were enough of them to cause them trouble, especially when some mutated creatures appeared in the end, and some people in the team were injured, not to mention how much threat the mutated creatures in the deep Black Forest that the hunter said.

"Sophia's situation has begun to stabilize, so there is no need to be too anxious for the time being. I can take everyone around this distance to test the strength of other creatures, and then slowly push deeper according to the situation. By the way, waiting for the ability to cool down, this should be the safest method. ”

"That's it!" the young man thought of this, his mood relaxed a little, and he decided to continue to the southeast, and then get closer to the area where the hunters of Brown Bear Town had explored.

"Looks ...... The progress of my strength is still a little slow," finally Li Ang sighed slightly, "If I can have a fifth-order now...... No. This is simply not realistic, if it is now a fourth order...... It is estimated that the combat power can be doubled, and one or two more fourth-order appearances will appear among the companions. Maybe this team will be able to go straight into the depths of the Black Forest, so why go around again?"

But then Leon began to review.

This kind of unrealistic fantasy proves that he is a little impetuous, in fact, in all fairness, his current strength progress is already considered a genius in the eyes of others. It's just that lately, one thing after another, has barely had time to breathe. So he subconsciously hoped that he could be stronger, so that he began to be impetuous, and he also had anxiety, but these feelings can only bring bad results at any time, and there is no benefit at all.

Through self-reflection, the young man slowly calmed down, and he understood that the improvement of strength could not be achieved overnight, and it must be gradual. Like the previous battles with countless poisonous snakes and swarms, and the battle between the wolf's beak forest and the night wolves that roamed the mountains. As a result, a large number of experience points have been obtained, which can be said to be something that can be encountered but not sought, and the discovery of Coelf's Sage Statue is extremely rare to inherit a huge amount of experience of more than 600,000 at one time.

However, when Leon thought of Colf, there seemed to be a flash of lightning in his mind, and then he slapped his thigh hard and said angrily: "!"

Suddenly, a number of figures approached him, and Caterina immediately asked, "Leon!, what's wrong?"

Unexpectedly, his "gaffe" once again caused trouble to his companions, and the young man was a little embarrassed, so he hurriedly persuaded these people back one by one, and then sat down and opened the Book of Heroic Souls.

"Understood," he said silently.

The Book of Heroic Souls automatically opened the heavy cover and displayed the first page in front of Leon, who could clearly see the rough map on it, as well as nearly a hundred markers on the map that represented the distribution of heroic souls.

"It's been so busy these days," Leon sighed, "I'm so busy that I was stupid to ignore such an important ability I learned last time......"

At this time, he was looking at Campbell's position, and then called up the battlefield map to compare with each other, and then the young man's eyes became brighter and brighter.

To the east of Campbell, near the location of the Black Forest and the Great Wilderness, four heroes stand out. The closest thing is a sign in the shape of a piece of equipment, located deep in the Black Forest, roughly northeast of Leon's location, almost close to somewhere in the Great Wasteland. The other three are characters, equipment, and book markings, all of which are located in the Great Wasteland, and except for one character marked on the outer layer of the Great Wasteland, the remaining two are all close to the center.

"It's developed...... Leon took a deep breath and slowly spit it out, "Isn't the book marked as a representative of a lineage-type heroic soul like Colve? It's a pity that it's too close to the center of the Great Wasteland, and with my current ability, I don't think there is much hope?"

"But you can't be too greedy, right? at least I should be able to get that equipment mark, Lawrence's Immortal Vanguard is a legendary piece of equipment, so this one will definitely improve my strength as well......"

The more Li Ang thought about it, the happier he became, he completely forgot about the reflection just now, and immediately carefully confirmed the specific location of the equipment marked again-he should continue to walk in this direction for more than a thousand meters after reaching the area that the hunters had explored, and then turn east, and then go nearly a thousand meters closer to the vicinity of the Great Wasteland area.

He looked at the various markings in his field of vision in a daze, and this time he was too engrossed, and it was already midnight in the blink of an eye. It was already silent except for a few people in charge of keeping guards, and Leon's own traveler's hut was already occupied by the ladies along with Erin's, so he hurried back to his exclusive tent and forced himself to hurry up and rest, otherwise he would be a little too late to get enough sleep the next day.

It's a pity that it's not easy to fall asleep quickly under such excitement, even if he is a third-order powerhouse. Even if he is a genius among the younger generation, it is impossible to do it.

I don't know how long it took, but when Leon felt like he was a little confused, the sounds of walking and talking outside the tent came into his mind.

"Your sister...... Too fast, right?" he knew it should be morning. And the confusion just now is the state of light sleep under the excitement.

The young man almost wanted to sleep in his tent, but he knew that he could not be too lazy as a leader, so he sat up almost lamentingly, and was stunned for a while, until his body suddenly tilted and finally woke up.

"Your sister...... It seems that I still sleep until I wake up naturally...... But when will we be able to achieve this ideal state of life?"

Fortunately, his physical functions have reached a perfect state, as long as he survives the sleepiness, he will soon be full of energy. Walked out of the tent and looked at the busy crowd.

Caterina walked over, and the girl's face softened in the morning light.

"You must have slept well yesterday. She said.

"Pretty good!" said Leon with great disobedience, "how is it at night?"

Caterina was one of the people on duty in the second half of the night, and said, "There is nothing out of the ordinary, except that a small group of wild beasts passed by near the early hours of the morning. They didn't come close, though. ”

"Also. Everyone felt very well recovered, so they wanted me to ask if I needed to leave early. ”

Li Ang's original intention was to let his companions fully recover after leaving the swamp, and since the situation was good, he also agreed to this construction.

After about an hour, everything in the camp had been cleared, and the people, led by Leon, did not go any further, but turned around and headed southeast.

From here, their speed increases significantly. In less than thirty minutes, he walked at least three hundred meters in the dense forest, and this was still under the premise of full vigilance. Otherwise, it could be twice as fast.

And at this moment, Dan jumped down from the canopy of a nearby tree and said to Leon, "My lord, something seems to be following us behind. ”

With a wave of his hand, everyone stopped, and then he asked, "When did it start?"

"Shortly after leaving the camp. ”

"Can you confirm what kind of creature it is?"

Se shook his head and said, "The fog here is a little thicker than before, and my eyes can't see through anything forty or fifty meters away, so I can't confirm it, I can only judge by sound and feeling." ”

Leon nodded slightly, then stood in place and thought for a moment, and said, "Erin, you take the others and continue to walk forward, slowing down a bit. ”

"Katerina, Melissa, and the two rangers follow me, and let's see what the hell it is. ”

......

Soon, the figure of the group gradually disappeared into the dense forest, and no one was seen here.

Nearly ten minutes had passed, and suddenly the canopy of the trees not far away began to shake, and a dark shadow came out of it and landed on the ground at a very fast speed. Then, one by one, extremely similar black shadows appeared, clambering on the trunks of nearby trees with a strange sound.

When they appeared in the sunlight, they found that these black shadows were actually black hair apes, the shortest one was two heads taller than ordinary humans, and the width of the body was more than twice as wide, not only the arms and legs were quite thick, but even the white hands and feet were exaggeratedly large, and they could hold a thick branch at will.

Since they are apes, their body shape must resemble humans, and their faces are quite similar to humans, but the faces of apes are too ugly, with flat noses, wide mouths, and especially their eyes that emit a faint red light.

Although these apes are of the same kind, they often grin at each other, and seem to be full of aggression, and the "strange" sound they heard before is their roar.

When the number was close to thirty, there was no movement from behind, and it seemed that this was all the apes of a small and medium-sized group, most of them hanging from tree trunks, except for the largest one, lying on the ground, sniffing around with his nose.

Then it stood up and let out a roar, which the other apes immediately echoed, and they began to climb up the tree, apparently trying to continue chasing the direction of the human. (To be continued......)
