After leaving the gathering place, the three executive captains led the team and walked through the depths of the forest under the guidance of several gathering place guides.

Because there were so many of them, they would disturb the creatures here from time to time when they walked through here before, resulting in slow speed and leaving a lot of traces. However, this time, they did not encounter anything along the way.

Dangerous, occasionally some small problems can be easily solved.

The speed was several times faster than usual, and they even had time to clean up the traces around them.

This is the credit of having a good guide. If they had had help from these people a few days earlier, they would have been able to find the lost objects.

Despite this, the three captains were still wary of the people in these gathering places, but they also analyzed that even if there was a problem with these people, it could only be because of the leftover objects, so before finding the leftover objects, they basically

is safe.

After walking for half a day, several guides looked at the river in front of them and seemed to notice something. After discussing with each other, they proposed to rest where they were. Although the team's physical strength could fully support it, the guides would inevitably do so.

There was a reason. Captain Hai immediately asked the team to stop and rest.

After Captain Hai took a sip of water, he glanced at Captain Lu who was sitting there with a frown on his face, "Captain Lu, are you still worried about Captain Xu? Actually, I don't think you need to worry."

Captain Lu looked surprised.

Captain Hai took another sip of water, slowly tightened the kettle, and then said after putting it away: "Captain Xu is very strong and always cautious in doing things. If we have problems, he may not have problems."

Captain Lu frowned and said, "No matter how hard Lao Xu can fight, he is only one person."

Captain Hai said: "We haven't had any news for so many days. The Ministry of Defense won't just watch. I thought that they would probably send support personnel."

Captain Lu thought for a while, but he was not optimistic about this. Now the main force of the Defense Department is in the gap of the World Ring. Although there are not no strong players left in the Central City, they are all protecting political dignitaries. How can they draw any manpower?

Come, but...

At this moment, he suddenly thought of a person, but even if this person came to support them, there might be quite a few powerful enemies chasing them this time, and it would be difficult to rescue them, not to mention it would not be easy to find them accurately.

But it's better to have hope than no hope.

He exhaled and said, "I hope so."

Captain Hai did not persuade him anymore. He believed that Captain Lu could adjust himself. However, his thoughts at this time were not the same as Captain Lu. He said: "Captain Lu, Captain Hu, let's try our best to find things so that Lao Xu can relax."

.”

Lu and Hu both nodded. They had made an appointment in advance. As soon as the thing was found, they would immediately launch flares and leave secret signals at key locations to notify Xu Chan. So in theory, the faster they found the thing, the better Xu Chan would be.

Safety.

The last time I felt the resonance of the trace left behind was four days ago. At that time, I followed the trace to search for it, but the process was intermittent.

They have been able to determine that this relic should have been swallowed by a certain creature, so in addition to relying on the resonance of the relic, they also need to track the traces of certain creatures. The role of the guide here is undoubtedly greater, because only here

Only the natives can tell what kind of creature it is.

At this time, a rumbling sound of galloping suddenly came from the front, and then countless four-legged creatures the size of horses were seen galloping past from the bank of the river in front. They were obviously not particularly big, but their bodies felt extremely heavy, beneath the ground.

Deep pits were created by trampling on the road, and the stones on the road were trampled to pieces.

After waiting for more than a quarter of an hour, these creatures left. However, even the terrain in front of them seemed to have been slightly changed. There were large areas of fallen trees on both sides of the river.

Only then did everyone realize that this was the intention of the guide who asked them to stop earlier. If they had just passed by, they would have directly bumped into these things, and few of them would have survived.

The guide then signaled that it was time to go on the road. Captain Hai went up and chatted with him for a few words. After confirming the situation, he did not let the team leave immediately. Instead, he walked out of the forest alone and went to the other side to check back and forth.

However, at this moment, he suddenly felt a slight tremor in his arms. He immediately stopped and turned around a few times. With his excellent sensing ability, he immediately identified one of the directions and moved forward again.

Ten steps later, the feeling still exists and has not disappeared.

He looked at the direction he was facing, and his eyes lit up. Yes, it was here. After a few days of intermittent searching, they once again found traces of leftover objects.

After Chen Chuan stayed another night in the joint camp, he set off again after dawn. This time, there was no two-wheeled motor vehicle, so he had to rely solely on walking.

However, when he is running normally, his speed is not much slower than that of a two-wheeled motor vehicle. Even if he consumes some energy in the process, he can replenish it by stopping to eat a few nutritious ointments.

On the contrary, it took more effort to identify the traces around him, but he soon discovered that the deeper he went, the clearer the traces became, indicating that he was getting closer to these people.

Almost a morning later, he discovered the third camp along the way.

But this time, he unexpectedly found that there were people stationed here, probably seven or eight armed men. They seemed to be waiting for someone, because they spent most of the time observing from behind.

Of course, it is also possible that he was guarding against enemies coming from behind, but this possibility was relatively small. Otherwise, the action would not have been so obvious, and he should have tried to hide himself.

After observing for a while, he put down his luggage, picked up the Xue Jun Dao and walked towards the camp. The sound of gunshots from the sentry in the camp soon rang out, but disappeared after just a moment.

In just half a minute, he cleared the entire camp of armed personnel.

He checked it over and through some simple records, he was able to confirm that the camps and traces of actions along the way were indeed left intentionally by the other party, just to facilitate those coming from behind to join them. Those coming from behind should have arrived in advance

I was told how to avoid the guarding creatures in the camp.

And now that we are here, it shows that we are getting closer to the main team of the alliance.

Because it was still early, he didn't stay here long. He took a drink of water and continued on his way. At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, he found another camp, which was also guarded by several armed men. After easily dealing with these people, he left here

A new situation was discovered.

After leaving the camp, the team split into two groups, each going in different directions.

He guessed that the Alliance and the people from the Linax Federation were advancing together before, but they separated when they arrived here. These two forces were not the same after all, and searching separately would undoubtedly be more efficient. This was understandable.

Through the confessions of the captured armed men, combined with the traces on the ground, he confirmed that the other party was only about two or three days away from him. If the speed was faster and there were no unexpected twists and turns during the journey, it might be only

It will take a day or two to catch up.

After clarifying the direction of the alliance, he decided to pursue it tomorrow.

Because from the intelligence point of view, most of the powerful fighters this time are mainly from the alliance. As long as these people are eliminated, more than half of the problem will be solved.

Outside the gathering camp, half a day after Captain Hai and others left, the leading troops of the coalition responsible for tracking also discovered this place, but it was already deserted and everyone had evacuated in advance.

After inspecting the camp, the most experienced operations leader in the team took people outside to conduct a personal investigation. However, they found that there were several traces that could be tracked, and they were not sure which road they needed to track.

When he was preparing to conduct an in-depth investigation, he suddenly heard an explosion from the direction of the camp behind him. The operations team leader rushed back immediately and found that the explosion did not come from inside the camp, but from outside. When he came to the location of the explosion and took a look, he found that it was

A remotely controlled explosive, but fortunately, no one was harmed.

However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw the light brown fragments on the ground and couldn't help but be horrified.

This is...a beehive?!

The hive is not a real bee. It usually refers to the hive of most gregarious flying insects in the blending area. Looking at the fragments, this bombed insect hive is surprisingly large.

He shouted nervously and hastily: "Quick, light bonfires around the area, the more the better, quick, quick, take action immediately!"

Under his urging with a slightly anxious voice, the surrounding team members immediately realized what was happening and quickly built a simple bonfire.

Sure enough, not long after, I heard the buzzing of countless wings, and saw densely packed insects flying in from nowhere. It was like a squally black cloud covering the sky, which could be seen from several kilometers away.

Clearly.

The living plants and various creatures in the forest seemed to come to life at once and began to prey on the passing insects. The insects quickly launched a counterattack. However, the scale of the insect swarm was huge. Under the impact, these insects on the road were

The living plants only persisted for a moment before being eaten clean.

The swarm of insects like a sandstorm rushed outside the bonfire in just a moment, but the newly lit bonfire and black smoke were actually suppressed. It was like a gap was opened, and many insects poured in at once.

Seeing that everyone was about to be submerged, Heros, who had been standing still just now, took a step forward. Light overflowed from his blue eyes, and an invisible force suddenly burst out from around him. In an instant, three people around him

Within four hundred meters, the influx of insects fell down like rain.

However, this impact was indiscriminate. Except for the powerful third-level fighters, the rest of the people present were wearing protective gear, and the weaker ones all fell to the ground.
