Chapter 412 Hidden Cave
The wild is not safe after all.
Staying in one place for a long time is quite irrational behavior.
Moreover, so many people gathered by the river, and the movement and sound caused by the gathered popularity may also attract demons.
I have been waiting patiently until now, and finally urged the team to set off. This has given the team a long time to breathe.
"So urgent?"
Zhu Huidao didn't say anything, he was taciturn.
Originally, I wanted to stop saluting and take a rest in the team. After hearing Fang Yu's words, I immediately stopped and stood ready with the others.
On the other hand, She Jiachou, who was beside Fang Yu, couldn't help but speak out.
Fang Yu just glanced at him sideways and said nothing.
Dong Xingzhou, on the other hand, glared at him, as if scolding him for not being big or small.
The order was quickly passed on.
Everyone packed their bags quickly, and while it was still dark, they packed everything quickly.
Zhu Huidao's return is an unexpected surprise. With a combat power of more than 3,000 HP, looking at the entire team, except for him and Linghu Xiang, he is already the strongest.
Fang Yu glanced over and found that among the team members Zhu Huidao brought back, no one was possessed by demons, and their blood volume was relatively healthy. They probably didn't encounter any powerful demon attacks along the way.
This luck is much better than Fang Yu's.
Of course, in fact, in addition to the eight-armed nine-soldier demon, which is the source of the stragglers, Fang Yu actually encountered a [big poisonous frog demon] which was more difficult. Linghuxiang still had to take the risk I got into trouble with the treasure hunt, otherwise, along the way, I might have glanced at Dong Xingzhou and Zhu Huidao and the others, not meeting any powerful characters, and meeting up at the river smoothly.
I can only say that I hope that little golden flower is worth the thrills along the way.
Fang Yu glanced sideways at Linghu Xiang. The latter did not realize it. He gave the weapon a final care and wipe, then walked to the front of the team and stood side by side with Fang Yu.
In a sense, this guy is right in not liking to command. She has a character that wants to take risks when she sees something good. If she is the leader of the team, something will happen sooner or later.
"Diao Deyi?"
Linghuxiang's voice brought Fang Yu's thoughts back.
Looking along her line of sight, I realized that the team members behind were all ready.
Compared with before leaving Guandao, there are obviously fewer manpower.
Out of the wilderness, every step is dangerous. Fang Yu cannot guarantee that everyone in the team will survive, so he can only take one step at a time.
A big wave of his hand.
“Let’s go.”
The team set off and walked along the river.
As per the old rules, Fang Yu and Linghu Xiang took the lead and walked at the front of the team.
Linghu Xiang has strong perception, while Fang Yu can tell the strength of his opponent at a glance. If they cooperate well, Fang Yu feels that he can avoid many dangers.
But what is surprising is that the whole journey was extremely peaceful, and not even a little demon was seen.
Fang Yu's tense nerves relaxed a little.
But Linghuxiang’s brows slowly wrinkled.
Fang Yu couldn't help but look confused.
“What’s wrong?”
"Be careful, it may be dangerous." Ling Huxiang whispered.
Fang Yu was shocked.
"How do you say that?"
Although his strength has improved a lot, he still doesn't have much confidence if he faces the eight-armed nine-armed monster from before.
"Do you know where this is? This is the river! The river is probably a battleground for military strategists. If you bump into little monsters frequently, that would be normal. But like now, not a single monster can be seen. That means... the route we are taking is within the territory of a certain big demon, and other little demons don’t dare to get close.”
Fang Yu immediately understood what she meant.
It is equivalent to them being in the territory of the great demon, and they are the prey of the great demon, and other demons dare not get involved.
"Is that big demon nearby?" Fang Yu asked in a deep voice.
Linghuxiang smiled.
“Don’t be nervous, we are not so unlucky. We are only operating in the territory of the big demon, not under the nose of the big demon. It may not even have discovered us. It is just a deterrent. , for other little monsters, it will always exist, but it will allow us to pass through this area safely for the time being. ”
The meaning is also very clear, this is just a case of good luck.
If you are unlucky, prepare to hit the big monster.
In other words, frequent encounters with little demons are actually a relatively safe signal?
Linghuxiang said as if he could see what Fang Yu was thinking.
“If you encounter little monsters frequently, it may be the same as the previous snake monster, with a leader-level monster secretly directing it. In short, don’t think too much, have this psychological expectation, and do it at any time Just be ready for battle.”
After listening to Linghuxiang's words, Fang Yu remained highly nervous all the way, but until the sun was almost setting and the afterglow of the setting sun was shining, he did not encounter any danger.
At this moment, Fang Yu saw a pool of bonfire embers in front.
"...person?"
Fang Yu and Linghuxiang looked at each other.
Let the team stop temporarily and they go up to check.
"Someone is staying here overnight." Fang Yu said.
"It was handled hastily. This group of people's knowledge of survival in the wild is very weak." Linghu Xiang fiddled with the residue in the embers and made a judgment.
Dong Xingzhou and Zhu Huidao have already arrived at this time. The four giants of the team are here to investigate, and the others can only silently be vigilant nearby.
"The traces are very new. They should have been left in the past two days." Dong Xingzhou grabbed a handful of embers and rubbed them in his hands. He completely ignored the fact that his fingers were stained black. Instead, he lowered his head and smelled the smell carefully. His brows immediately furrowed.
“…It’s the Heixinxiang of the Hei family.”
Fang Yu and Linghu Xiang were both stunned, and even Zhu Huidao, who was basically doing nothing next to him, glanced at him.
“Are you sure?” Linghu Xiang questioned first.
The confidentiality level of their operation this time is not low. How could someone appear on the planned route one step ahead of them?
"The Hei family..."
Fang Yu looked hesitant.
He was completely unfamiliar with the other members of the Hei family, he only knew Hei Ao.
But Hei Ao's set of skills is the best among them.
If someone from the Hei family comes and knows Hei Ao's set of skills, and coupled with a high level, their combat power will be very terrifying.
"It's not wrong, it's Hei Quxiang. I have had some dealings with people from the Hei family and know about this thing. This thing is very expensive, and generally the Hei family can't afford it. We came all the way before, and there was no When we encountered the demon, it was probably because the smell of Black Exorcism had lingered here, so it helped us avoid some trouble."
Dong Xingzhou's value was most vividly demonstrated at this moment.
After all, he is a veteran deputy captain who has performed many field missions and dealt with many forces. His understanding of some things is more experienced than the young Linghuxiang.
Fang Yu cast an admiring look at Dong Xingzhou, but the latter was thinking deeply about things at the moment.
Black dispelling fragrance is not a panacea.
It has some effect on low-level demons, producing disgusting odors and dispelling them to a certain extent.
But it is completely useless against slightly more powerful monsters. But with just one move, the Hei family was already far ahead of other forces.
You must know that their stupid hell does not have such means. When facing monsters in the wild, no matter big or small, they can only resist with real strength.
"Captain Diao, the situation of the Hei family and his party is unknown, so we are keeping it under wraps for the time being, but right now, we have to leave here as soon as possible." Dong Xingzhou said.
Fang Yu was stunned.
“Since this place is protected by the scent of black dispelling fragrance, we can borrow it and spend the night here. Why should we leave in a hurry?”
"...Captain Diao, you are wrong. The smell of black exorcism has long since dissipated. The demons around are simply because they have smelled the smell before, so they are unwilling to get close to this place, even if the smell dissipates. But this kind of There is no way to guarantee how long the state will last, and staying here overnight is the next best thing."
Dong Xingzhou continued:
"A piece of vacated territory, after there is no threat. , will only attract more demons who want to occupy this area, especially after nightfall, the demons will only be more active and aggressive."
Fang Yu looked at Linghu Xiang, the latter was obviously fine. Thoughts, just a shrug.
“You decide.”
Fang Yu sighed.
"Then continue on your journey and find a safe place to camp and rest before the sun completely sets."
"Yes!"
Dong Xingzhou went back to deliver the order and wished Hui Dao also returns to the team.
Although nothing happened.
But the fact that a Hei family team had camped on the place where his mission must pass was like a thorn in the side, making Fang Yu feel a little more wary.
“What do you think?”
Fang Yu asked after the team set off again.
“I’m afraid there will be many competitors on this trip.” Linghu Xiang said calmly.
“Did you expect this?”
"That's not true, it's just about [the appliance]. Even if it's not the Hei family, sooner or later other forces will come to fight for it."
Ling Huxiang glanced at Fang Yu: "You don't need to be too stressed, Tang Before I set off, I should have told you privately that the Yudi Mansion will accept whether this mission is successful or not, but in the end, we have to try to compete, and the loser does not lose the battle, and someone needs to give the exact answer. The information is brought back. In short, it is best to take back the equipment. If you can't get it back, just treat it as a field experience. If you can return to Tianyuan Town safely, it will be considered a success."
Fang Yu:? ? ?
Has the hall master ever said this?
Fang Yu thought about it carefully and seemed to remember it. The hall master seemed to mean that if he brought the three instruments back, he could choose one of them. But if he couldn't bring them back, there seemed to be no problem.
But this mission must be done by himself.
In other words, the priority of intelligence messages is greater than the priority of recapturing the equipment.
It seems that the hall master also predicted that there will be many people involved in the capture this time, so he only sent captain-level combat power, and the probability of success is very low.
No wonder Linghuxiang saw something good in the wild and tried desperately to get it. She had no hope of getting the equipment that was regarded as a reward for the mission.
Other harvests in the wild are truly yours.
That's easy to say.
It’s not a big problem if there are multiple black teams. After all, I was just there to join in the show. It’s good to be able to get the equipment, but if you can’t, just protect yourself and return to the city safely.
After clarifying his thoughts, Fang Yu calmed down.
No wonder Linghuxiang had the attitude of protecting her life from the beginning. She never thought about the successful completion of the task from the beginning of the relationship.
“There is a demon!”
Suddenly someone shouted from behind.
Fang Yu looked back and saw that several people in the team had already rushed out.
The leaders were Zhu Huidao and Dong Xingzhou.
With the cooperation of the two of them and the fierce attack of other team members, the monster was killed before Fang Yu even arrived.
Although it is just a little demon with less than 10,000 health, its efficiency is indeed outrageous.
Under a group of strong human beings, ordinary little monsters really can't get close.
Without the experience increase, Fang Yu is actually not very interested in this kind of little monster that has less than 10,000 HP. In addition, if the movement is slow, other team members will participate in the attack and allocate experience points. Even less.
It can only be said that mosquito legs are also meat. If you can rub them, you still have to rub them.
A demon appeared, which made the team that was already a little relaxed tighten their nerves again.
As the sky grew dark, the team finally left the road by the river.
Fang Yu performed actively on the road, and the team found that the demons kept up with the battle immediately, so they barely managed to get 3 points of attributes, but in the face of huge demand, it can be said to be a drop in the bucket.
At this time, Fang Yu was actually very conflicted.
He not only wanted to get a big monster to increase his attribute points, but he was also worried that the big monster would be too powerful and the team would be scattered and run away, even putting himself in danger.
You must know that despite taking a break, no one in the team is actually at full health. Even Linghu Xiang and him have not yet returned to full health.
Fang Yu also has the ability to heal himself and recovers blood quickly. Linghu Xiang took drugs to reduce the frequency of his shots and rested a lot, but he didn't recover much blood.
However, after these few waves, Fang Yu's positive performance also gradually increased his prestige in the team.
After all, the captain who is always fighting on the front line is quite popular.
Linghuxiang doesn't argue about this and doesn't care about this kind of thing.
But after the sky darkened and the team lit up the torches again, she felt uneasy.
This is not official policy.
Torches in the wild are almost like living targets, and any monster that sees them will come over and take a bite.
"The wind...is the wind! Captain Diao! There is a cave! There seems to be a cave over there!"
Suddenly, one of the team members shouted excitedly.
Fang Yu and Linghuxiang looked over there and saw a dark cave entrance hidden by a pile of vines.
The sound of whistling wind came from inside, causing the flames on the torches to sway slightly.
Most people wouldn't care about this level of swaying, and they didn't expect to be caught by that team member.
This guy has sharp eyes.
Fang Yu glanced at She Jiachou appreciatively.
"Go in and have a look. If there is no problem, we will spend the night here."
Fang Yu suggested.
Linghuxiang frowned and hesitated slightly.
If the cave is closed, then they can go in and spend the night. If they encounter a big demon and the entrance of the cave is blocked, the entire army will be destroyed.
But on the other hand, caves also provide a relatively safe environment, allowing people to spend the night safely.
There are pros and cons, it just depends on whether you want to take the risk or not.
While Linghuxiang hesitated, Fang Yu had already led Dong Xingzhou and some team members inside.
But after a while, Fang Yu's voice came from inside.
"Linghu Xiang, come in."
