Chapter 53: Traces

Early the next morning, the five members of the Wolf Tooth Team changed into new uniforms in Room 201, prepared various equipment and set off directly.

Zhang Yang put on the backpack he bought a few days ago and put on night vision goggles.

Although he has a storage ring, he doesn't plan to put everything in the ring.

After all, this ring is too rare, and it will cause trouble in people's eyes, so just put valuables in it, and carry the rest on your back.

The "Wolf's Lair" made its way out of the south gate of the Seventh Acropolis and slowly moved south along the road.

This road Zhang Yang has walked before, and it was a few years ago when he went to Huidu to participate in the competition, and once again he saw that the farmland on both sides of the road that was originally beyond the horizon was covered with snow at this time.

Although the snow in the city has melted, there is still a lot of snow left in the wasteland outside the city.

After about a hundred kilometers of driving south along the road, the vehicle began to change lanes and drive along a fork in the road to the east.

At the end of this road is the Eighth Acropolis, and the abandoned mine cave that we are going to this time is only about a hundred kilometers away from the Eighth Acropolis.

The Eighth Acropolis, like the Seventh, was an Acropolis that produced coal resources. Hao Qiang said that the hunters of the two cities were not harmonious.

After all, due to the close distance, many missions will overlap, and conflicts will naturally break out for the sake of interests, so Zhang Yang should be careful when encountering the hunter team of the Eighth Acropolis.

After about a hundred kilometres along the road to the southeast, the 'Wolf's Lair' turned east into a muddy road and drove less than a kilometre before coming to a halt.

Everyone got out of the car with their equipment on their backs, found some branches to cover the 'wolf's lair' briefly, and began to march eastward.

About 80 kilometers south-east is where the mine is located.

The road under your feet can no longer be called a road, it should be a dirt road that the private family who owned the mine in the past simply repaired, flattened and sprinkled some coal gangue on it.

After so many years, it has become overgrown with weeds, and it can only be vaguely discerned.

Fortunately, there is no snow on this road, the terrain is quite flat, and it is not too difficult to walk, and the speed of the team is not slow, and it is estimated that it will take two days to arrive.

The formation of this march has changed, and Zhang Yang and Hong Yan, who were originally standing in the middle of the team, have switched positions.

The reason why this was arranged last time was because Zhang Yang was a newcomer, and now Zhang Yang is fully capable of covering the flank, so there is no need to have a long-range soul master on the flank.

Hao Qiang took a knife and slashed the thorns on the road to facilitate walking, and it could be seen that very few people would come to this point, and he basically couldn't see the original road after only a few kilometers of advancement.

Suddenly, a vine hidden under the weeds on the ground entangled Hao Qiang's feet, pulled him to the ground, and dragged him to the left!

Zhang Yang's eyes were quick, and he instantly cut down the vine, and the cut vine writhed like a snake for a moment and retracted.

"This weed is so dense that it almost catches its way!" Hao Qiang scolded, untied the rattan from his feet, and threw it aside.

patted his ass and stood up, "This should be a vine tree demon, everyone be careful!"

As soon as the words fell, the grass not far away moved, and several vines rolled towards everyone.

Zhang Yang and Hao Qiang hurriedly swung their knives and chopped and chopped, only to cut off the roots and vines, and several more sticks stretched out from the grass!

"This won't work, let's move towards the place where we attacked, we must find the vine demon and kill it!" Hao Qiang shouted and waved his knife forward.

Zhang Yang hurriedly followed, chopping vines uneasily, and Jiang Lei, the last of the team, also took out a dagger and stepped forward to help.

After walking for about 20 meters, I saw a strange-looking tree in the woods.

The tree was only about three or four meters tall, its branches were bare without a single leaf, and its wrinkled body was covered with three gaps, like the eyes and mouth of a human being.

It's just that its three gaps are black holes, and it senses that everyone is approaching and wants to retreat.

Hong Yan, who was following the team, had his eyes lit up, and when he raised his hand, there were three fireballs, and the strange tree instantly ignited a raging fire, and the vines hanging under him writhed wildly.

It made a shrill cry similar to that of a child.

Hong Yan raised her hand and fired two more shots, and the burning flames became even stronger, and after about a minute, the strange tree was completely burned black, and there was no movement.

Hao Qiang stepped forward with his knife, slashed at the middle of the blackened 'eye', and took out a green kernel from it.

The strange tree that was seen open actually flowed red blood along the crack!

"As long as this vine tree demon is found, a few fireballs will be able to solve it!" Hong Yan raised her chin.

"Sister Yanzi is amazing! Otherwise, we will have a good fight!" Lu Fei hurriedly praised a few words, and Hong Yan smiled with satisfaction.

Zhang Yang was a little speechless and a little funny, this Hong Yan is like a little girl and needs to be praised.

"Hehe, this vine demon is most afraid of fire, and it moves slowly, so basically don't think about escaping if you find your body. Hao Qiang, who walked back with the kernel, smiled.

Solve the Dryad team and embark on the journey again, although this area is very close to the Eighth Acropolis, but there are really a lot of monsters, and in one afternoon, plus the Dryad, a total of seven were encountered!

As the sun was about to set, the team found a relatively open place and planned to set up camp.

As a result, he found that there was a bunch of extinguished bonfires on the ground, Lu Fei squatted on the ground and touched the charcoal in the bonfire, "It should have been extinguished in the morning, I'm afraid someone is ahead of us!"

Hao Qiang's face was a little not very good, this is not good news, eighty percent of the people who can cultivate in this kind of place are hunter squads, wouldn't they also come to the earth spirit fruit.

"Captain, we have night vision goggles, why don't we rest for a while and continue on our way?" Lu Fei said with a frown.

Hong Yan also said that she was not tired, and it was good to take a short rest.

After all, they came here for the spirit fruit, if someone else took the lead, then wouldn't they be busy in vain!

"Okay, rest for half an hour, and then we'll continue on our way. Try to get to the vicinity of the cave before dawn. ”

Everyone nodded, sat down on the ground and ate the compressed food.

For soul masters, not sleeping all night is at most slightly uncomfortable, and it will not affect it too much.

Originally, I had to camp before dark because I couldn't see it and it was too dangerous, but now with the new equipment, I can try to run overnight.

After resting for half an hour, it was getting dark, and everyone took out their night vision goggles and brought them up.

When I turned on the switch, I was instantly green in front of me, and I could see the surroundings clearly.

"Hey, these glasses are so good!"

"Okay, let's go!" Hao Qiang gave an order, and several people formed a formation again and marched towards the depths.

At night, many monsters that are accustomed to nocturnal activities gradually come out of their nests, looking for prey and intending to have a good meal.

The team traveled for an hour and encountered three 'swordtails' hidden in the dark.

This is a monster beast that only comes out at night to feed, and its size is not large, only more than a meter long, but the tip of its tail behind it is like a sharp sword.

When it pounces on its prey, its tail quickly plunges into its prey, releasing a paralyzing toxin that can be dangerous if it hits the trail carelessly!

The five people pretended not to see it, and quickly launched a counterattack with the pounce of the three sword-tailed cats, and the sword-tailed cats who were still in mid-air thought it was imperative, but they were pierced through the neck by Zhang Yang.

Hong Yan's fireball turned into a green ball of light in the glasses and smashed into the other demon beast, instantly igniting its fur and screaming on the ground.

Jiang Lei's soul skill deceived the third sword-tailed cat, and the silver dagger pierced into its heavenly spirit cover, killing him instantly.

Everyone sighed again at the power of the night vision glasses, if they were attacked by this kind of demon beast that acted silently, it would not be so easy!

Along the way, everyone used this method to deceive the demon beasts who wanted to sneak attack several times, and these demon beasts must have been very surprised before they died, how could these humans be like hanging up!

I've never seen anyone react like this before!

This may be the legendary technology that changes fate!

The Federation attaches great importance to soul masters, and it has also not given up on the development of technology, which is a wise decision.

In order to fight against monsters, humans invented the kernel gun, which only needs to place a kernel below the third order in the gun to shoot energy bullets, so that ordinary people can also kill monsters.

Unfortunately, this weapon is extremely expensive to build, and it is said that only the vanguard can be equipped.

Moreover, this weapon is limited by materials, and the energy bullets fired can only cause damage to creatures below the third order, even if you want to kill the third order demon beast, it is extremely difficult, so there is no large amount of equipment.

Moreover, with the reaction speed of ordinary people, it is difficult to hit a second-order demon beast. However, the federal government has not given up on this kind of research, and has stepped up its efforts in recent years.

The Wolf Tooth team finally arrived near the entrance of the mine when it was dawn, and their night was not easy.

Along the way, they encountered a lot of demon beasts, and at this time, several people consumed a lot of soul power.

But arriving here didn't make them feel relaxed, but their expressions became more solemn.

They found the camp of the hunter team that had arrived before them about a kilometer from the entrance of the cave.

The Wolf Fang Squad was watching the squad in the dark forest with night vision goggles.

There were seven of them, one of them was on guard, and the rest were resting.

"Sure enough, it's from the Eighth Acropolis, this is the Viper Squad, and it's not low in the E-class squad of the Eighth Acropolis. Hao Qiang said in a low voice.

"What should I do?" Lu Fei said.

Hao Qiang thought for a while, "Regardless of them, we have consumed a lot along the way, first find a place to repair, there must be demon beasts guarding the cave, and it is not so easy for them to eat them." ”

The group slowly retreated into the distance, and began to repair two kilometers away from the Viper Squad.

One of the five members of the team was left to stand guard, and the rest all sat on the ground and began to meditate to recover their Yuan Force and physical strength.

It wasn't until more than nine o'clock in the morning that several people's Yuan Li fully recovered before they ended their meditation.

Zhang Yang recovered the fastest, and only meditated for less than an hour, and then replaced Jiang Lei, who was on guard, and began to be vigilant.

The team touched the camp where the Viper team was located again, and it was already empty.

Lu Fei stepped forward and looked, "I just left about an hour or two ago." ”

"Well, it should have entered the mine, let's go too, someone else asked people to pick peaches in advance!" Hao Qiang led everyone towards the mine.
