After a while, Jiang Feng and others walked out of the woods. They saw what seemed to be an animal corpse in the open space not far away.

After getting closer, Jiang Feng discovered that it was the body of a short-antlered deer.

This animal is very common in the misty forest and is one of the main foods for many animals and phantom beasts.

It is worth mentioning that short-antlered deer are also found in the zoo in Linhai Base City.

Wang Yuanhang said: "It turned out to be just the body of a short-horned deer. I thought it was a phantom beast from a different ethnic group that had a large-scale battle here."

Li Xiaoyue said: "Although the short-horned deer is just an ordinary animal, with its running speed, if it had not encountered a large carnivore or a fantasy beast, it would not have died here so easily."

"I think it was most likely killed by a phantom beast."

Zeng Zhenghao squatted on the ground and looked at the body of the short-horned deer, and finally came to this conclusion.

"Captain, what did you find?"

Wang Yuanhang also squatted down.

Zeng Zhenghao pointed at the belly of the short-horned deer: "Look, this should be its fatal wound. As for why I said it was killed by a phantom beast, that's because there are marks of dagger cuts on its belly."

Hearing what Zeng Zhenghao said, Wang Yuanhang immediately moved his eyes to where he pointed: "It's really the mark of a dagger. It seems that there are other beast masters in front of us."

This is not the edge area of ​​the misty forest. Wang Yuanhang does not believe that ordinary people can go to such a place.

Jiang Feng, who was standing not far away, suddenly said: "I think this group of people should have left not long ago."

"This group?"

Wang Yuanhang immediately grasped the key point of Jiang Feng's words.

Jiang Feng hummed: "Just now I felt like there were traces of someone's activities here, so I came over to take a look. I found two sets of incomplete footprints. It seemed that someone wanted to cover up the footprints, but my teammates were not very helpful. .”

Wang Yuanhang came over and found that the situation was indeed as Jiang Feng said.

But having said that, Wang Yuanhang believed that if Jiang Feng didn't have careful observation, he wouldn't have been able to find the footprints on the ground.

Based on this alone, Wang Yuanhang must take a high look at Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng's observation skills are indeed not weak, but the reason that really made him discover this situation was because he used Insight

"By the way, what does this smell like?"

Wang Yuanhang sniffed, and he seemed to smell a familiar smell.

"Is this what Brother Wang is talking about?"

Jiang Feng kicked the ground, revealing a fire buried in soil and leaves.

Wang Yuanhang said: "It turns out to be the smell of charcoal."

Others also came over.

Based on the above analysis, it is obvious that someone has had a barbecue here.

Jiang Feng remembered that Li Xiaoyue said that there were not a few beast masters who entered the misty forest to explore every year.

However, the Misty Forest is too large, so unless the destination is the same or someone is targeting them, it is rare to see other beast masters.

Now, Jiang Feng has entered the misty forest for three days, and this is the first time he has seen the traces left by other beast masters.

Jiang Feng turned to look at Zeng Zhenghao, but said nothing.

Because he knew that Zeng Zhenghao was also thinking about how to deal with this matter.

Wang Yuanhang was very direct. He said to Zeng Zhenghao: "Captain, should we catch up and take a look?"

Zeng Zhenghao smiled: "Do you want to team up with these people?"

For ordinary people, if the work can be completed as quickly as possible, then it is not a bad idea to find others to cooperate.

This principle also applies to beast masters.

But if you are walking outside the city and encounter a strange beast master, the situation will be different.

Even ordinary people know that when you go out, you should not trust strangers easily, otherwise you may be "sold" by the other party.

When a beast master goes deep into a dangerous place, if he discovers a treasure somewhere and there happens to be a stranger in the team, it is entirely possible for him to be "backstabbed".

"I don't think so, but it should be okay to observe from a distance. In case this group of people is not a good person, we can be mentally prepared in advance."

Of course Wang Yuanhang understood that he could not easily form a team with other beast masters outside the base city. He just wanted to find out the purpose of this group of people.

Zeng Zhenghao said: "You are really thinking more and more carefully now."

It is important for beast masters to plan ahead.

Sometimes if you are not careful, your life may be in danger.

Wang Yuanhang said: "That's necessary. I'm worried that the purpose of this group is also Magic Purple Grass. If there is a conflict, we won't be in a hurry."

"It can't be that coincidental, right? Maybe they just happened to pass by."

Jiang Feng was thinking that the area of ​​​​the depression was quite large, and there was no news that someone had discovered a large amount of Magic Lithospermum here, so he thought that this group of people did not necessarily come for Magic Lithospermum.

Besides, even if this group of people is really here for the Magic Purple Grass, everyone can just get what they want, and there is no need to show so much hostility right from the start.

Of course, if this group of people is really not a good person and plans to strike first, then Jiang Feng will definitely not be polite to them.

Wang Yuanhang said: "Don't say things too early, some things are just such a coincidence."

Jiang Feng looked at Wang Yuanhang's story-telling expression and suddenly remembered that before he traveled through time, he did make mistakes at work due to some coincidences.

At that time, he was also wondering why several things happened to happen together.

Although Li Xiaoyue did not express an opinion, her attitude towards this group of people was relatively cautious.

In fact, when she first became a beast master, Li Xiaoyue's character was very innocent, but after experiencing some things and learning some lessons, she began to become suspicious.

When meeting other beast masters outside the base city, you can just pass them by as if nothing happened, but if you are talking about cooperation, you must be cautious.

After a while, Zeng Zhenghao said: "My idea is to keep moving forward. If we encounter this group of people on the road, we can observe the situation first and then make plans."

Zeng Zhenghao is a cautious person, but he will never show hostility to strangers casually, because it is easy to make enemies, and it will be bad if he encounters a strong person who cannot be offended.

"I have no opinion."

Wang Yuanhang also knew that it would be inappropriate to attack someone in person, so he chose to support Zeng Zhenghao's decision.

No one else disagreed.

Before departure, Wang Yuanhang applied to Zeng Zhenghao to take Blade Mantis to explore the road ahead.

At first glance, Wang Yuanhang's proposal seemed to have no problems.

But based on Zeng Zhenghao's understanding of Wang Yuanhang, he believed that if Wang Yuanhang discovered this group of people, Wang Yuanhang would probably cause something.

Why does Zeng Zhenghao think this way?

That's because he has seen Wang Yuanhang act impulsively too many times.

In order to avoid causing trouble for Wang Yuanhang again, Zeng Zhenghao decided to solve the problem from the source.

Wang Yuanhang was a little disappointed that he couldn't take the Blade Mantis to explore the road ahead, but it didn't matter. Now that he had a sense of expectation, he wouldn't feel bored on the road.

In a place like the Misty Forest, if you deliberately cover up your traces, your success rate is still very high.

However, Jiang Feng believed that this group of people just cleaned up the traces of their activities in the area and did not deliberately hide the traces, because after walking a certain distance, Jiang Feng found some new clues through his insight skills.

The problem that originally faced Jiang Feng was that he had just become a beast master not long ago. Theoretically speaking, his wild survival experience was definitely not as good as that of an elite beast master. If he could always be one step ahead of others and find some clues, that would It's hard not to arouse suspicion.

Fortunately, Zeng Zhenghao and others are very experienced, especially Zeng Zhenghao. Without the aid of insight skills, he still discovered the clues left by the previous group.

In this way, Jiang Feng didn't have to pretend to have discovered the clue accidentally.

Based on the clues discovered by Zeng Zhenghao, Jiang Feng and others gradually went deep into the depression.

There is a team with unknown purpose in front. Is there any pressure on Jiang Feng and others?

It is impossible to say that there is no pressure at all.

However, considering that there were "laymen" in the front team who could not hide their traces, Jiang Feng and others did not appear too nervous.

Perhaps because the overall strength of the team in front was not weak, Jiang Feng and others followed along and not only did not see a single phantom beast, they did not even see another short-antlered deer.

Jiang Feng thought this was good. If they followed and encountered a difficult fantasy beast, then the noise caused by the battle might attract the attention of the team in front.

When the enemy is in darkness and we are in darkness, the situation is likely to take a turn for the worse.

Wang Yuanhang found that Zeng Zhenghao did not continue walking forward, but was standing in front of a bush, so he walked over and asked him: "Captain, what's wrong?"

Zeng Zhenghao said: "The traces of this group of people seem to have disappeared here."

"Disappeared?"

Wang Yuanhang was a little surprised when he heard Zeng Zhenghao's answer. He originally thought it was because of his poor observation skills, but he didn't expect Zeng Zhenghao to be the same.

Zeng Zhenghao nodded: "Yes."

Jiang Feng was not in a hurry to express his opinion. He was just using his insight to observe the surrounding environment.

However, the insight skill did not help Jiang Feng much. After all, the beast control system only helped him awaken his SSS-level talent, rather than helping him become a "hexagonal warrior".

"Then what should we do next?"

Wang Yuanhang put his hands on his hips and sighed softly.

They have been following for so long, and it would be a pity if they gave up now.

Of course Wang Yuanhang didn't leave Zeng Zhenghao and didn't know how to complete the task. He was just willing to let Zeng Zhenghao make the decision on major matters.

There are still a small number of elite beast masters who have no independent opinions.

"Jiang Feng, what do you think?"

Zeng Zhenghao suddenly turned his attention to Jiang Feng.

"I?"

Jiang Feng was stunned for a moment.

"right."

Zeng Zhenghao nodded, indicating that Jiang Feng heard correctly.

Although Wang Yuanhang did not expect Zeng Zhenghao to ask Jiang Feng's opinion immediately, he also wanted to know what Jiang Feng would say next.

Along the way, Jiang Feng's performance was completely consistent with his status as a genius, so Wang Yuanhang only admired him, not jealous.

Li Xiaoyue and Bi Hongcheng also turned to look at Jiang Feng.

After experiencing so many battles, perhaps even Wang Yuanhang and Bi Hongcheng themselves did not realize that in addition to Zeng Zhenghao, they would also attach great importance to what Jiang Feng said.

Of course, Jiang Feng never thought of actively creating this situation, but the system gave him a disguised A-level talent, coupled with his and Lan Xiang's performance, it was enough to impress Wang Yuanhang and Bi Hongcheng.

Needless to say, Li Xiaoyue now basically trusts Jiang Feng unconditionally.

Unless Jiang Feng makes an unbelievable decision, Li Xiaoyue will definitely be on his side.

"Brother Zeng, I think the clue is broken here, which may not be a bad thing."

"oh?"

Zeng Zhenghao was very interested in what Jiang said.

Jiang Feng continued: "We have followed all the way, and we can basically confirm that this group of people are not all elites, otherwise they would not occasionally leave clues for them to follow here."

Zeng Zhenghao nodded slightly. He thought Jiang Feng was right.

If this was a team of beastmasters performing a secret mission, such a mistake would be impossible.

Needless to say, leaving obvious traces, the biggest flaw was that the body of the short-horned deer was not buried.

Jiang Feng said: "Since their traces have disappeared, this is a wake-up call for us."

Wang Yuanhang asked: "What did you remind me?"

Jiang Feng replied: "This group of people may have noticed that we are tracking them."

"Is there such a thing?"

Wang Yuanhang was a little surprised.

Jiang Feng said: "This is just my guess, but judging from the route forward, this group of people's destination is most likely that lake. At least our destination is the same as theirs."

Wang Yuanhang said: "Even so, it does not prove that our whereabouts have been exposed. After all, we did not act at the same time as them."

Jiang Feng said: "Yes, when this happened, maybe they just became more cautious, but Brother Zeng also said that the clues were broken here, and the sudden interruption of the clues is a very abnormal thing in itself. Therefore, I am more inclined to think that they may realize that their whereabouts have been exposed."

After hearing what Jiang Feng said, Wang Yuanhang nodded slightly. After all, he was also an experienced beast master, and he knew that what Jiang Feng said made sense.

Generally speaking, there are only two possibilities when the tracked target suddenly loses its trace. One is that it encounters a strong enemy and is forcibly taken away because it has no ability to resist. The other is that it is aware that someone is following it, hides its whereabouts, and prepares to wait and see.

Wang Yuanhang believes that no matter what the situation is, they may encounter trouble next, but it is indeed a good thing to be aware of this in advance.

"You mean, these guys might be spying on us?"

Although Zeng Zhenghao was very cautious about this question, his expression did not change significantly.

Jiang Feng said: "It's possible, but I'm more inclined to think that they just suspected our existence and walked away after taking care of the traces."

Wang Yuanhang said: "So, there is no need for us to track them deliberately? Anyway, as long as we continue to move towards the lake, we may see them."
