Chapter 3: Wushan Mountains
It didn't take long to wait, and after half an hour, all the members of the Cheetah Commando Regiment arrived, fifteen members, plus four young men, under the leadership of Captain Kazan, and marched towards the dangerous and tempting interior of the mountain.
Le Qi turned to look at the mountains in the distance, took a deep breath, and touched the steel gun wrapped behind him with his backhand, his lips moved slightly, but he didn't say anything. Then he withdrew his gaze from afar, and followed silently behind the team.
No one knew what would happen to them after entering the mountains, but perhaps, it was a smooth sailing hunt, and the assault regiment returned with a heavy harvest in the hope and anticipation of their relatives. Or perhaps, he will encounter all kinds of dangers, provoke high-level beast kings that should not be provoked, and turn from a hunter to an unlucky prey. But despite all the dangers in the mountains, all the members of the assault regiment did not flinch or flinch, but their faces were full of excitement and confidence, for nothing else, but because they were hunters and warriors.
Through the clusters of verdant foliage overhead, the sun dappled the rugged mountain trail covered with short green grass about three inches high. "Rustle", "rustle", in the silent forest, from time to time there is a faint sound of chaotic footsteps, through a thicket of branches and leaves, you can faintly find a trace of a slow walking team on the grass.
Le Qi's feet sank into the grass, rubbing against the grass to make a "rustling" sound as he went. Perhaps, because the morning in the mountains is relatively humid, there are drops of crystal dew scattered on the grass, and there is a cool feeling from walking through the grass, which is very comfortable.
When they first entered the mountain forest, a huge team walked slowly through the mountains. After a long journey of nearly two hours, we have entered the interior of the mountain. Along the way, the whole team did not become nervous and dull because of the unknown danger that they were about to face, as usual, everyone talked and laughed, chatted very happily, especially the few young people who had just joined, because of the first time with the assault group to go deep into the Wushan Mountain to hunt monsters, so everything in the mountains was extremely magical for them, and the young people were also very yearning for hunting powerful monsters, so it was indispensable to ask the seniors about all kinds of hunting anecdotes, ask about all kinds of monsters, and increase their knowledge.
The team gradually deepened, and I don't know how many rugged mountain roads they had crossed, and they had already begun to enter the depths of the mountains. At this time, the team was surrounded by tall trees, palm-sized leaves that shielded from the scorching sun. From time to time, a shrill or low beast roar was heard in the unseen dense low woods, startling the chirping of a hundred birds perched in the shade of the greenery overhead.
Of course, the depths referred to here are only relative to the periphery where only wild beasts inhabit, not really the depths of the entire Wushan Mountain Range, the real depths of the mountain range, the cheetah assault group composed of only a dozen Great Xuanzhi Realm martial artists, do not dare to cross the thunder pool by half a step, after all, warriors are different from pythons, and pythons are different from fools.
"Captain Kazan!" a young man with a beautiful face was full of excitement, as if he was thinking of something interesting, shouted at the head of the group from afar, and then ran quickly to the front of the team, leaning next to the head of Kazan.
It's just that, unlike the excitement of the young man, Le Qi, who heard the shouting, frowned slightly with his originally relaxed and stretched eyebrows, and looked at the sound from the mouth of Wu Gang, the young man who first "joked" about himself, who was the son of Lao Wu. Turning his head to look around, he didn't notice anything unusual, so he breathed a sigh of relief, pursed his lips, and shook his head helplessly.
"Shh
Captain Kazan immediately made a silent gesture, instantly shrunk his neck, and his eyes carefully scanned around, fortunately, he didn't find anything abnormal. He sighed loudly and scolded in a low voice: "What are you kid shouting nonsense in the mountains!
Wu Gang was scolded, as if he handed over a bucket of cold water above his head, and suddenly came to his senses, and the joy in Fang Cai's heart was completely gone, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Only then did I realize how ignorant and ignorant my actions were, and what is the difference between shouting in the depths of the mountains and looking for death?!
I have to say that Wu Gang's reflex arc is really long, and his reaction is more than half a beat slower than others, so he hurriedly looked around, and after not finding anything abnormal, he took a breath, fortunately, the demon beast didn't notice himself and others, otherwise, his sin would be great!
After the thrill, his face turned red instantly, and this time he was embarrassed to be thrown into his grandmother's house! In front of so many people, if he made such a childish mistake, would he still be able to raise his head in the future? Thinking of this, Wu Gang's face became even redder, his head was very lower, and he did not dare to look at everyone.
Seeing this, Commander Kazan stared at Wu Gang tightly, and did not intend to stop, swallowed his saliva, and continued: "I see that you kid grew up in a greenhouse and doesn't understand anything! Hehe! At this level, you dare to mock people who are happy to enter the assault regiment by luck? You can get in by luck? Or do you think that your father and I are blind? I really think that everyone is like you idiot. “
Hearing this, Le Qi frowned slightly, and was very helpless in his heart, why did it happen to me again? The head of the regiment didn't mean it, right? Le Qi suspected that the head of the regiment was afraid that he wanted to use himself to motivate those young people and let them work hard to cultivate.
In fact, this is exactly what Captain Kazan thinks, how can he, an old man who has been wandering for many years, not see a few arrogant young people who are not convinced, but he doesn't pick it out, and just takes the opportunity to spur them to study and cultivate hard.
Captain Kazan showed no mercy and severely reprimanded the unlucky Wu Gang, in fact, these words were not only said to Wu Gang, but at the same time, they were also spurring the other three young people. The so-called good medicine is bitter, only the cruel words that can penetrate deep into their hearts can make these young people who grew up in the greenhouse truly realize the horror in the mountains, and realize that any mistake they make may bring unbearable horror disasters to the whole team, only in this way will they grow up and gradually adapt to this cruel world.
Once again reprimanded mercilessly by the head of Kazan, Wu Gang's face was as red as a pig's liver, and his head was lowered even lower, so that his neck was not long enough, otherwise he could hide his head in the dirt like an ostrich.
I have never lost such a big person since I was a child, and I am still in front of so many people! But I am depressed that I can't find a reason to refute it. Although he didn't think that Le Qi's peers would be much better than him, but in terms of experience, he was indeed inferior to Le Qi, and he admitted this.
Although Wu Gang is arrogant and arrogant among some young people, he still has the courage to admit his mistakes after realizing them.
After listening to the regiment leader's criticism of Wu Gang, the other three young people felt weak in their hearts, thumping, and their eyes pretended to look around inadvertently, trying to cover it up, but the clenched palms were sweating slightly, betraying their hearts. If it were them, would they have noticed these problems? It is estimated that compared with Wu Gang, he and the others are actually half a catty and eight taels, and these experiences accumulated by actual combat are completely incomprehensible! It's just that his luck is a little better than Wu Gang's unlucky bastard, and he was lucky not to be caught by the regiment commander.
After some reprimand, Captain Kazan's face was still stern, and he glanced at the four young men quietly, seeing that the latter looked humble and teachable, and finally nodded with satisfaction, his face was no longer angry, his tone was slightly kind, and he said to Wu Gang: "However, it is the first time for you to enter the mountains to hunt, you have no experience, and it is inevitable to make some mistakes, so I will not blame you this time." But remember clearly, you must not make such a low-level mistake again!
I know that you are hunting in the mountains for the first time, and you have no experience, but in front of me, don't say that you have no experience, this is nonsense! Will the demon beast let you go because you are a novice?
Speaking of this, Captain Kazan turned to look at the other three young people again, and said solemnly: "You guys too, take advantage of this opportunity to enter the mountain and learn more!"
Hearing this, the expressions of the other young people became serious, and they nodded silently.
Commander Kazan was serious to the end, no longer paying attention to a few young people, turning his head to look at the entire assault group, and a deep voice came out of his mouth: "Attention all the assault groups, we have gone into the hunting area in the depths of Wushan, first go to the old place to rest and put down the equipment, after lunch, officially start this hunt." ”
In order to keep quiet, Le Qi did not answer out loud, but nodded. Listening to all directions, watching the six roads, reining in the footsteps and following the team silently,
Quickly and quietly through a dense thorn forest, over a rocky ridge crisscrossed by broken rocks, the group arrived at the mouth of an unusually hidden cave, which was the foothold of previous assault groups entering Wushan to hunt.
The cave is located in the middle of a towering stone mountain. The stone mountain is not special, the whole mountain has only one main body, the standard cone shape, wide at the bottom and sharp at the top, towering like a spike in the mountains, and the rocks on the mountain are also in the same form.
The entrance to the cave was hidden behind a large stone thorn, and they would not have been able to discover it had they not happened to pass by while chasing a prey.
took out a torch and lit it, and Zhao Kui, a strong man with a beard, held a torch and a big knife, and entered the cave in advance to investigate the situation and see if there were any fierce demon beasts nesting in it.
After a while, the bearded shoulders swayed against the big knife and walked out, waved his hand, and said calmly: "Everything is normal." ”
Hearing this, Captain Kazan nodded, turned to the team members and ordered: "Let's all go in, hurry up and get your own nest, set up a tent if you should set up a tent, and no one will care about you if you don't pay attention to sleeping on the floor!"
Obviously, these words were said to the four young people, and the group of old fritters of the assault regiment naturally did not need to be reminded.
A few oil lamps were placed on the stone wall, and in the firelight, he set up his tent with great skill. The reason why he set up the tent is very simple, just to have a relatively quiet, personal space before going to bed, and raise the pillow to think about something.
Of course, not everyone likes to sleep in a tent as much as Leqi, they prefer to talk to others before bedtime, brag and be at ease. A few young people, perhaps not accustomed to the natural way of life in the wild, chose to set up tents.
Glancing slightly at the place where a few young people gathered, then his eyes fell on the area where seven or eight people gathered to chat, and they were chatting happily. Le Qi's face rose slightly, and he walked straight over, he found that he still likes to join in the fun, his personality is like this, in this way, life will add a lot of fun.
"Brothers, what do you think will happen to the harvest of this hunt? Hehe! I think this season and this weather are very good, it should be a bumper harvest, haha!"
A middle-aged man laughing immediately agreed: "Haha, I think so, there is great strength in numbers, this time there are nineteen of us!"
Another composer touched the mustache on his chin and said, "Is there a lot of strength necessarily because there are more people?" There are a few more novices who don't know anything, and it's troublesome, and when you can't get it, you have to score a few people to take care of it. ”
Hearing this, everyone felt that it made sense, and they all nodded in agreement, knowing that it was a troublesome thing to take a novice hunting, so under normal circumstances, the assault group would not recruit novices, it was too troublesome, and they didn't understand anything. Of course, there are exceptions, for example, Le Qi is one of them, before joining the assault group, he didn't have any experience in hunting demon beasts, but this doesn't mean that he doesn't have other advantages, otherwise, the assault group won't let him join.
Although the assault regiment is reluctant to bring novices, this time it is different, they are all their own people, and it is understandable to bring the juniors out to see the world. As for whether it will affect the harvest, everyone doesn't pay much attention to this, after all, the dignified mid-level hunting team is not so poor that they can't uncover the pot with a little harvest, in fact, compared to the rest of the town, the hunters are quite wealthy.
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart. Hearing this, several young people who were setting up tents were a little unhappy, hurriedly put down the work at hand, and walked over indignantly, ready to find these seniors to theorize and theoretical, so that they could find some face.
The head of the regiment's daughter, Kana, crossed her slender willow waist with her fair hands, and looked at the man who said that several of their young people were novices and needed to be protected by others with a pair of big eyes, and then said angrily: "Uncle Wednesday, what you said is not right! Several of us are all at the middle level of the Xuan Repulsion Realm! Although we are a little inexperienced, self-preservation is definitely not a problem, and maybe we can help you!"
Another young man, Wang Ding, immediately chimed in: "That's it, uncles, don't worry, don't dare to say anything else, but self-preservation, we are still sure, the four of us are middle-level Xuanqi Realm Xuanxuan, and our strength should not be underestimated! Besides, isn't Brother Le Qi also an intermediate level of Xuanqi Realm? He can protect himself alone, not to mention that there are four of us? Do you say, Brother Le Qi?"
When Le Qi heard this, he suddenly felt a little big, what is the matter today, he can always burn his head when he speaks! A little helpless, a few young people are really competitive enough, and their opinions on themselves are really not small. In fact, a few days ago, he had already broken through to the eighth order of the Xuan Repulsion Realm and entered the advanced level of the Xuan Repulsion Realm, but he didn't want to argue with them at the moment, so he nodded casually according to the meaning of a few people.
"Hehe, Uncle Wednesday, you see, Brother Le Qi also agrees with our statement. Rest assured, we can not only protect ourselves, but also help you at critical moments!" Wang Ding patted his chest and said confidently!
When I heard this on Wednesday, I didn't want to argue with a few young people, after all, it is a good thing for young people to be motivated, and if it is true that the descendants of these old brothers are some cowardly and cowardly people, they will really suffer. He smiled noncommittally and said, "Okay, I believe, I believe! If you are fearless and want to charge forward, I will not stop you!"
Wang Ding straightened up, looked at Uncle Wednesday with a torch, and then looked at Le Qi, with a slightly provocative smile on his face, laughed twice, and said jokingly: "Brother Le Qi, why don't we compare the four of us with you, who has made more contributions when hunting?"
Le Qi smiled noncommittally, not knowing what to say.
