Chapter 45: Night Attack
Hao Qiang was carrying a black metal box behind him, which should be the 'induction device' to be placed this time.
His backpack was carried on Lu Fei's chest, and he didn't throw it to him because Zhang Yang was a newcomer.
Zhang Yang took the initiative to step forward and wanted to carry it, but Lu Fei refused with a smile.
After packing up everything, the team was led by Hao Qiang, followed by Jiang Lei and Zhang Yang, and the formation behind Lu Fei and Hong Yan slowly walked into the dense jungle.
The team maintains a distance of three to five meters from the front and back, which can ensure that support can be reached in case of danger, and will not be wiped out because of the proximity.
"This place is not too far from the road, and ordinary demon beasts will not approach here, but don't let your guard down, you will lose your life if you are careless. Although Hao Qiang didn't look back, this sentence was definitely for Zhang Yang, and he was a newcomer here.
"It's the captain, I'll be vigilant!" Zhang Yang responded.
The team had been moving slowly for more than an hour, and the ground in the forest was covered with snow, which made it impossible for the team to move at a faster pace.
Hao Qiang relied on his experience to choose a better path, and everyone followed his footsteps.
Suddenly, there was a slight sound in the distance, Hao Qiang immediately bowed down, and made a gesture behind him, and everyone squatted slightly to be vigilant.
Out of the woods in front of him came a demon beast with gray hair and two sharp horns sticking out of its mouth, the demon beast had four hooves, a strong body, more than two meters long and half a human height, and its mouth made a purring sound, staring at several people from the wolf tooth team.
Zhang Yang recognized it at a glance, this is the 'sharp-toothed wild boar' living in this area. This monster beast doesn't look like a pig, but it has a short-tempered personality and likes to take the initiative to attack.
Hao Qiang was a little puzzled, of course he knew the fanged boar, but it shouldn't have appeared in such a peripheral place.
Maybe it's because of the cold winter and the scarcity of food that they come out to look for prey.
The boar stomped on the ground with its front hooves and rushed towards Hao Qiang, who was closest to him! Although it was huge, it was unusually fast, like a speeding car.
Hao Qiang is the soul of the earth bear beast, and the yuan power flows in an instant, and he is not afraid of the fanged wild boar rushing at all.
When the wild boar was about to rush in front of Hao Qiang, countless vines suddenly appeared, forming a large net in front of it. The boar didn't have time to dodge and crashed into the net.
The vines squeaked when they were hit, but they were not broken, and Hao Qiang stepped on the wild boar that was caught in the net, and a wave of earthy yellow energy exploded instantly!
"Trample!"
The yellow energy spread like a wave on the body of the fanged boar, and the boar rolled its eyes and foamed at the mouth of the powerful shock wave, and passed out!
The large net of vines that appeared in the instant before was released by Lu Fei, and he was a plant-type beast soul. The speed of release and the accuracy of the card position amazed Zhang Yang!
From this cooperation, you can see the tacit understanding of the team, and the captain did not panic at all, because he knew that his teammates would definitely stop this monster!
And Hao Qiang's trampling is also very strong! After all, he is a second-order soul master, much stronger than Zhao Dabao, who can also trample on soul skills! The fanged wild boar's internal organs that were directly shocked by one blow shattered, and there was no waste of Yuan power!
"How is it, do you have any ideas?" Hao Qiang withdrew his Yuan Li and looked at Zhang Yang with a smile.
"Cooperate tacitly! Brother Lu's vines were released quite accurately, just blocking the attack route of the demon beast! And the use of Yuan Force was just right, without the slightest waste!" Zhang Yang exclaimed.
"The observation is quite detailed, and the reason why we have such a tacit cooperation should be naturally formed by fighting side by side all year round. Hao Qiang was a little happy to hear Zhang Yang's analysis.
A soul master with combat intelligence is what the team urgently needs! Only by knowing how to observe and analyze the situation can he make the best judgment.
Jiang Lei, who followed the team at the end, stepped forward with a dagger and began to harvest the core of the fanged boar.
"Captain, next time you encounter a demon beast, let Zhang Yang try it, let's take a look at his soul skills, and we can cooperate in the future battle." Lu Fei squeezed his eyes at Zhang Yang.
"How about it, do you dare?" Hao Qiang felt a little reasonable when he heard it, and turned his head to Zhang Yang and asked.
"Of course, I'll give you the next one!" Zhang Yang's hands are itchy, he hasn't really fought for a long time, and he wants to try it at this time!
Captain Hao smiled, "Good look, you have the guts! I think when I first entered the industry, I didn't have the courage of you!"
Hong Yan covered her mouth and chuckled, "When Xiao Lu first joined the team to perform a mission, he was almost scared to pee his pants!"
Lu Feiteng's face turned red, "Sister Yanzi, you mentioned me again! Didn't you promise me not to say anything in the future!"
"The first time I fought a monster, I was nervous. Zhang Yang smiled and scratched his head.
As Jiang Lei took out the kernel and stuffed it into his backpack, everyone set out on the road again. This time, I didn't encounter any more demon beasts until it got dark.
"Okay, don't act when it's dark, let's rest on the spot!"
The captain waved his hand at the group, and now their location was relatively empty and the ground was less snowy, making it a good place to trim.
Hong Yan shouted Zhang Yang and Lu Fei to go to the forest to pick up some dry firewood together, although the soul master's body can withstand the low temperature at night, it is not that it will not be cold.
The temperature in this wilderness is several degrees lower than in the city, and it is extremely difficult to survive without lighting a fire at night.
Although the firelight will reveal their location, the average demon beast is naturally afraid of fire and will not approach it easily.
There are no high-level demon beasts in this area, so there is no need to stand up to the cold of the night.
As the fire lit, the warm feeling made Zhang Yang feel a lot more comfortable, and several people gathered around the fire, took out the food and water in their bags, and chatted while eating.
This day's trip touched Zhang Yang a lot, it was the first time he walked in this kind of jungle, and there were no such large dense forests and mountain roads in the Acropolis.
In order to allow more people to live, the city site is usually chosen in a flat and open place, and he thought that a hundred kilometers would be reached in two days at most.
I didn't expect the mountain road to be so difficult to walk, and I had to be careful of the demon beasts at all times, and I didn't dare to slow down so as not to attract danger.
The snow-covered ground is also full of hidden traps, and you can accidentally step on it.
"Zhang Yang, you should still be in school, right? School is about to start. Hao Qiang stretched out his hand to the fire and lit the fire, he was afraid that this trip would be too long and delay Zhang Yang's studies.
"No, I have a name in school, and I have been cultivating with Master, so I don't have to go to school, and my time is relatively free. ”
Hearing this, Hao Qiang nodded, once Zhang Yang started school, he would not be able to go on a mission with them, because it was too normal to go on a mission for a few days or even ten days.
A few people didn't ask him who his master was, and someone who could cultivate such a young and highly cultivated disciple must not be ordinary.
Zhang Yang didn't take the initiative to say that they wouldn't take the initiative to ask.
"I really envy you, I think I was only in the middle of the first order when I was 16. Lu Fei sighed.
"Who isn't, I really don't know how this kid cultivates, don't forget us when you fly yellow in the future!" Hong Yan smiled.
Zhang Yang was a little embarrassed, "No, Sister Yanzi." ”
"We all studied at the Soul Master University in the Acropolis, with your cultivation, we will definitely go to those famous universities in the future, and when the time comes, a few of us will go to play with you!" Hong Yan was a little excited, she liked to travel the most, and she often went out to play when she was not on a mission.
"Okay, if I go somewhere else in the future, I will definitely tell you, and when the time comes, you come to play with me, I'll take it all!" Zhang Yang patted his chest.
Looking at Zhang Yang's appearance, including Jiang Lei, they all laughed.
"That's a good feeling, I haven't been to any other capital except Huidu, but Huidu University is also very good! It's close to us, it's convenient to find you!" Lu Fei said.
chatted until more than ten o'clock in the evening, when Hao Qiang looked at his watch.
"It's not too early, so let's rest early and recuperate. At night, I kept watch on the eve of the night, followed by Zhang Yang, then Yanzi, Lu Fei, and Jiang Lei, and changed every two hours. ”
Everyone gathered around the fire and lay down with their backpacks on their pillows, and the floor was already covered with a tarp and a layer of branches under the cloth, so they didn't have to worry about getting wet with the melting snow.
Although it can't isolate the cold ground, it's good in the wild.
Hao Qiang watched the team members who were gradually falling asleep cheer up, and added some firewood to the fire from time to time to prevent it from going out. Although the fire temperature was limited, it was enough to put a few people to sleep peacefully.
At twelve o'clock in the night, Hao Qiang gently shook Zhang Yang awake, Zhang Yang got up and drank a sip of water, and the cold water instantly made him sober up a little.
Hao Qiang smiled and said softly, "Okay?"
"No problem, I used to participate in the Huidu Qualifiers and stayed overnight. ”
"Well, wake us up in time if there's a problem, and don't put out the fire. ”
After Hao Qiang finished arranging, he walked back and fell asleep. In the wilderness, it is not a place to be pretentious, and you can better perform your tasks by ensuring adequate rest.
will not be treated special for Zhang Yang at a young age, and daring to let him keep vigil is the best trust in him.
Zhang Yang cheered up, added some firewood, and observed the dark surroundings to prevent any demon beasts from sneaking up on them at night.
It was almost one o'clock in the morning, and the sound of snow being squeezed could be heard in the woods below the slope in the distance.
Zhang Yang, who was vigilant, immediately became nervous and looked in that direction!
Snow falling on the branches of a tree would make a similar sound when it fell on the ground, but Zhang Yang felt the difference! This time, the movement was not as messy as the falling snow, but rather regular.
Zhang Yang looked in that direction, filling the firewood in his hand unhurriedly, pretending not to notice.
He hadn't been sure if there were any demon beasts yet, so he hadn't woken up a few people.
As the slight sound gradually approached, Zhang Yang finally saw the object clearly! It was three iron-bladed cheetahs crawling on the ground and moving slowly!
The yellow hair is dotted with black spots, the vertebrae on the back have grown a metal blade that is more than ten centimeters long like jagged teeth, and the eyes glow green in the light of the fire.
This iron-bladed cheetah is extremely flexible, the sharp back blade on its back can easily cut through the body of its prey, and once the metal-like claws penetrate the prey, it will tear off a large piece of the belt meat!
Zhang Yang didn't hesitate, and woke everyone up with a loud roar! The three demon beasts no longer pretended to be found, stood up straight, and rushed towards everyone with a low roar!
The black knife in his body was summoned in an instant, and he rushed towards the iron-bladed cheetah that was still more than fifty meters away!
