Next, when passing through the South City Gate checkpoint, the guard responsible for checking Zeng Zhenghao found that what he took out was a one-star hunter certificate.

After confirming that Zeng Zhenghao's identity was correct, the guard kindly reminded: "It's not peaceful outside recently, please pay attention to safety."

No matter where Zeng Zhenghao goes, as long as he leaves the city at night, he will face great risks, so the guard will specifically remind him.

"Thanks."

Zeng Zhenghao thanked the guard.

To be honest, he admired these beast masters who joined the city guard.

Needless to say, during wartime, whenever there is a battle, the City Guards will charge on the front line, which results in high casualties of the City Guards.

Even in this relatively peaceful time, the number of people injured by the City Guards every year as they clean up dangerous phantom beasts around the base city is not low.

After leaving the city, Zeng Zhenghao took out his mobile phone and sent a high-definition picture in the group chat.

In order to facilitate contact, Zeng Zhenghao pulled Jiang Feng and Li Xiaoyue into a new group chat in the afternoon.

Zeng Zhenghao said: "Jiang Feng, Xiaoyue, we will follow this route today. I have marked the campsites along the way and the areas around the railway line where refugees may be. If everything goes well, we will soon be there." Can reach the misty forest.”

Jiang Feng nodded slightly: "It will be much easier to move this way."

Although navigation equipment is one of the necessary equipment for animal masters, wilderness survival experience is also important.

If Zeng Zhenghao hadn't marked it on the picture, Jiang Feng wouldn't know the surrounding situation until he got there.

"hope everything is fine."

Li Xiaoyue discovered that there were refugees in several areas near the railway line, and hoped that this would not add variables to their mission.

"Brother Zeng, why don't we follow this road directly into the misty forest?"

Jiang Feng saw the route marked by Zeng Zhenghao. When he arrived at the misty forest, he deviated directly from the original route and went around to another place before finally entering the misty forest.

"Because I plan to help you and Xiaoyue complete the mission first." Zeng Zhenghao explained: "The edge area is relatively the safest area in the misty forest. And entering the misty forest from the place I chose, there is a place a few kilometers away. There seems to be magic purple grass growing near the creek. Of course, I am not 100% sure whether this information is true. After all, it is too difficult to obtain detailed information about a place like the Misty Forest."

"It's okay, Brother Zeng, we are already very grateful that you can think of us like this."

Jiang Feng knew that the more dangerous the area, the higher the price it would cost to obtain information there.

Because there are not many intelligence dealers who have the ability to enter moderately or even highly dangerous areas, sometimes the information they have is exchanged with other beast masters who happen to meet on the road. In addition, in order to collect information, intelligence dealers When they get detailed intelligence, they often make some very risky moves, so they often sell important intelligence to certain organizations at high prices.

If it is extremely confidential information, the intelligence merchant will usually choose to entrust an auction house to auction it.

The Beast Masters Association and the Bounty Hunters Guild both have their own channels for obtaining information, and these two organizations also sell information to the outside world.

Although expensive information may not be absolutely accurate, cheap information often has very limited value.

"You're welcome. Since you and Xiaoyue have joined our team, we are all partners we can trust each other." Zeng Zhenghao smiled faintly: "Besides, looking for Magic Purple Grass is only the first task we have to complete this time when we enter the misty forest. This mission requires your help to successfully obtain the tail feathers of the Fire Bird."

Jiang Feng nodded and said, "We will do our best."

Next, without any impassioned words, Zeng Zhenghao just asked others to prepare flashlights and be alert. Then he stood at the front of the team and led others along the road toward the dark wilderness in the distance.

On the highway outside the city, there is only one street light at a long distance.

Because wild beasts are often attracted by the lights and destroy the street lights, and the city guards cannot always be stationed outside the city, some street lights are only erected on the main roads leading from Linhai Base City to other base cities.

Fortunately, the weather is good today, and the moonlight slightly illuminates the way forward for Jiang Feng and others.

Strictly speaking, today is Jiang Feng's first time out of the city at night.

When he and Li Xiaoyue were still in Fuming Mountain, at night, he just stayed in the cave to rest.

The situation was different now. Just walking less than a kilometer away from the base city, Jiang Feng heard the faint sound of animals in the distance.

Unfortunately, compared to the surrounding darkness, the light emitted by the flashlight was insignificant. At most, it could only illuminate the road in front of him, but it could not let Jiang Feng find the source of the cry.

The light from the street lamps is a bit dim, and can only barely disperse the surrounding darkness, but cannot give people a sense of security.

Zeng Zhenghao, Wang Yuanhang and Bi Hongcheng have long been accustomed to traveling at night, and they have even made sneak attacks on wild fantasy beasts at night many times.

Now that the destination is clear and the situation on the road is still under control for the time being, for them, at least for a while, their nerves can be less tense.

Li Xiaoyue noticed that Jiang Feng had been paying attention to the surrounding environment. She thought Jiang Feng was worried that he might be attacked by wild fantasy beasts on the road, so she walked to Jiang Feng and whispered: "Don't worry, we are actually here. This is what the outside of the base city looks like at night. As long as we are careful, even if we leave the main road, it is not so easy to encounter wild phantom beasts that will actively attack humans."

"Thanks."

Jiang Feng was not worried about his own safety, he was just curious about the surrounding situation.

Besides, with Zeng Zhenghao and Wang Yuanhang taking the lead, and Bi Hongcheng holding the line at the end, Jiang Feng had no reason to worry that he would be attacked immediately.

Of course, if there is a real battle, Bi Hongcheng will definitely rush to the front, but when he is on the road, he needs to walk at the end of the team, because this can effectively prevent being attacked by phantom beasts.

"You're welcome. We won't arrive in the misty forest until tomorrow anyway. Let's just chat on the way to relieve our boredom."

Li Xiaoyue smiled slightly and continued walking beside Jiang Feng.

In fact, Jiang Feng originally wanted to ask Li Xiaoyue how they should handle the matter if they met Qi Hao in the foggy forest.

Although the misty forest covers a large area, for some reason, Jiang Feng felt like he might meet Qi Hao.

Maybe it's because Jiang Feng has taken part in some TV drama plots. After all, according to the plot, the more impossible something seems to happen, the more likely it will happen due to various coincidences.

However, Jiang Feng thought about it and felt that there was no need to affect Li Xiaoyue's mood. After all, no one could tell what would happen next.

Rather than worrying about meeting Qi Hao on the way, Jiang Feng thought it was more important to complete the task as soon as possible.

After passing through a small forest, Jiang Feng looked back and saw the last streetlight on the main road that flickered from time to time. Then he followed Zeng Zhenghao and Wang Yuanhang and walked towards the bumpy road not far ahead. .

From here on, Jiang Feng and others are considered to have stepped out of the actual control range of the Linhai Base City Guards.

Generally speaking, as long as there is no shortage of manpower during wartime, the city guard will immediately assemble a team to go to the rescue after receiving a distress message from outside the city.

It's not just beast masters who are in danger outside the city. Since there are ordinary passengers taking trains to and from various base cities, there are also ordinary people who go deep into the wilderness in search of excitement.

If the beast masters of the law enforcement team are only responsible for public security in the base city, then the city guard has too many things to do.

However, even if there is a city guard for rescue, if the ordinary people or beast masters who are attacked are too far away from the base city, then there is a high probability that these people will be "cold" when the rescue team arrives.

Zeng Zhenghao checked the map and then said to Wang Yuanhang: "Yuanhang, don't stay too far away from the team. If you find anything unusual, tell me as soon as possible."

Although Zeng Zhenghao has walked this route many times, what the guard said before made him have to be more vigilant.

Jiang Feng and Li Xiaoyue are definitely not bad in strength, but Zeng Zhenghao still doesn't know how capable they are of dealing with sudden crises.

"clear."

Wang Yuanhang responded and then left the team alone.

Jiang Feng didn't quite understand why Wang Yuanhang did this, so he stepped forward and asked Zeng Zhenghao: "Brother Zeng, why doesn't Brother Wang act with us?"

Zeng Zhenghao glanced at the direction Wang Yuanhang left and replied: "Yuanhang's Blade Mantis is more suitable for reconnaissance. In the past, when he went out on missions, he would go to the front first to explore the way."

It was not Zeng Zhenghao who asked Wang Yuanhang to explore the way ahead, but Wang Yuanhang knew that the speed of the Blade Mantis was higher than that of the Heavy Fist Ape and the Rock-armored Beast, so he took the initiative to undertake the investigation work.

Wang Yuanhang will inevitably encounter danger if he leaves the team to investigate alone.

But most of the time, the whereabouts of Wang Yuanhang and Blade Mantis will not be exposed.

With the information provided by Wang Yuanhang, Zeng Zhenghao can formulate a corresponding action plan.

Jiang Feng nodded slightly: "Brother Wang is really powerful. It's not daytime now, and it will definitely be more dangerous for him to act alone."

Zeng Zhenghao said: "Don't worry, he is already used to it. If there is really danger, he will find a way to escape."

Although Blade Mantis is not yet able to jump with Wang Yuanhang, Wang Yuanhang's explosive power and flexibility are superior to many beast masters of the same level. Therefore, unless it is a fantasy beast known for its speed, Wang Yuanhang can jump under Blade Mantis. Under cover, quickly run to a safe area.

After a while, Jiang Feng suddenly saw the light of a flashlight flashing across the street.

Zeng Zhenghao picked up the flashlight and responded. This was the code he and Wang Yuanhang had agreed upon.

Because Wang Yuanhang never used the walkie-talkie to remind them of the danger ahead, Zeng Zhenghao kept leading the team forward.

Investigation is investigation, and the actions of the entire team must not be delayed.

"Captain, everything is normal within the three kilometers ahead."

Wang Yuanhang gave a very brief report to Zeng Zhenghao.

To a beast master, three kilometers is a short distance.

But now the sky has completely darkened. When walking outside the city, the chance of encountering danger will increase exponentially. Therefore, Wang Yuanhang cannot stay too far away from the team. He only needs to make sure that no wild fantasy beasts will sneak up from a distance.

Zeng Zhenghao patted Wang Yuanhang on the shoulder: "Well done."

"a piece of cake."

Wang Yuanhang smiled.

In terms of the current team, he is the only one best suited to do this.

However, in the short term, Wang Yuanhang does not plan to leave the team for investigation again.

If it were daytime, he would definitely do this.

However, the wilderness at night is not the beast master's home field, so he cannot leave the team frequently. If something happens to him, it may affect the next mission.

Since there was no danger ahead, Zeng Zhenghao called on others to speed up their advance.

According to Zeng Zhenghao's experience, they should be able to reach the campsite closest to the railway line tonight.

On the way, because Zeng Zhenghao was the leader and Bi Hongcheng was not good at words, Wang Yuanhang could only chat with Jiang Feng and Li Xiaoyue.

Jiang Feng and Li Xiaoyue were not particularly talkative people, but considering that the person they were talking to was Wang Yuanhang, this completely saved them from the trouble of not knowing what to talk about.

After a while, Wang Yuanhang seemed to have discovered something. Then he raised his flashlight, shined it on the mound not far away, and said to Jiang Feng: "You know if we encounter this kind of mound in the wilderness, usually What will you do?"

"Go over and investigate?"

Jiang Feng expressed his guess.

"You are only half right." Wang Yuanhang explained: "If it were daytime, then I might go over to check, but now it is night, I can't take such a risk. From my experience, this Mounds are not simple.”

"I just have time, so I will tell you about my experience." Wang Yuanhang smiled and said: "Under normal circumstances, there is nothing special about this kind of mound on the surface. In fact, the bottom may have been hollowed out by phantom beasts. If we walk up rashly, we may fall into the cave below. If we don't have time to summon the contract beast, or the contract beast cannot be used in a small space, then our situation will be very dangerous."

"I see." Jiang Feng nodded slightly: "Brother Wang is indeed experienced. It seems that I still have a lot to learn."

Hearing what Wang Yuanhang said, Jiang Feng remembered the process of discovering the stone-armored silver-toothed snake before. Who would have thought that there was a cave in that cave?

Since this world collided with another space, many things cannot be inferred according to common sense.

Wang Yuanhang smiled: "Actually, with your talent, if you had been struggling outside for a few years, you would definitely be much better than me."

Experience can be accumulated slowly, but the talent of beast control cannot be changed the moment it is awakened.

Wang Yuanhang is now stronger than Jiang Feng in terms of level and experience, but Wang Yuanhang believes that his advantage will not last long.
