This was Lu Lin's first impression of a foreign battlefield.
The first thing you see is a neat row of streets and shops.
There are many small vendors setting up stalls on both sides of the street, shouting one after another.
Especially after seeing the unfamiliar faces of Lu Lin and others, his voice became much louder.
"Star crystals, star crystals, star crystals with various properties, 80 star coins each."
"Mammoth tusks, buy three and get one free."
"Brother, do you want a map? The latest updated map was drawn by the masters of the Foreign Lands Department. It includes a map of a hundred miles around our God of Cookery City. There are also two secret realm locations. One copy only costs fifteen star coins."
"Young man, would you like a girl from the blue-eyed cat tribe? She has a soft voice and an exotic charm. I guarantee that you will never come back."
Lu Lin subconsciously pushed aside the wretched man who approached him to sell the blue-eyed cat girl.
Doesn’t this person look at people when looking for clients?
Haven't you seen Lu Lin's upright face?
"Let's go to the Xingtiao Division branch first."
Lu Lin checked the direction and led the team to the Star Adjustment Division branch two streets over.
The house built of bricks and stones has a simple interior layout, with only a few chairs and a square table.
A skinny old man with a goatee was leaning on a chair with his eyes half closed, tapping his legs and rocking while humming federal pop songs.
"Boss Zhang."
Lu Lin shouted.
The old man with the goatee opened half of his eyes and said, "Oh, here we come."
He was talking, but he didn't show any intention of getting up.
Lu Lin was stunned for a moment. When he realized that Lao Zhang had said to sit down, he and his team members found a place to sit down.
"You guys are still students."
"Minister Long is so relieved that he lets you young people go on a mission?"
"Hey, forget it, it's useless to talk more. You all understand the mission."
"clear."
Lu Lin had seen it in the mission information.
The criminal they need to arrest this time is named Liu Chang.
He is a mid-level third-level warrior who has been serving as an assistant in a certain team and has been working diligently for seven or eight years.
This time, Liu Chang's team entered a secret realm and harvested a lot of treasures and resources.
In the end, the honest Liu Chang, for some unknown reason, suddenly got poisoned during dinner, killed all the members of the team, and took away all the supplies.
The Star Investigation Department is considered a superior person in the Federation, but in foreign battlefields, it is equivalent to the Federation's Detective Department and needs to be responsible for handling such incidents.
After Minister Long got the news, he thought of giving Lu Lin and his team a chance to practice.
After all, this Liu Chang is not very powerful, but he is also very honest.
Psychological analysts from the Xingtong Division believe that he was just a temporary motive and it would not be too easy to catch him and bring him to justice.
It just so happens that many investigators from the Star Investigation Department have been practicing outside recently and it is not convenient to return. Group 19 can be said to be the best choice.
But Lu Lin was a little confused after watching Liu Chang's previous experience.
Liu Chang and these teammates are classmates and have been working together since they were in school. After graduation, they spontaneously formed a land reclamation team.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]
During this period, they also gained a lot, but there was never any conflict within the land reclamation team due to interests.
Why did Liu Chang suddenly become interested in making money this time?
Did the upper-level analysts of the Star Adjustment Department not see this doubt, or did they not care about this doubt?
Lu Lin didn't know.
"Okay, now that you know, you should set off as soon as possible."
"The last time Liu Chang appeared was in Xingmang Mountain. You can go in and search on your own."
After Lao Zhang finished speaking, he continued to close his eyes and hummed a little tune.
"Boss Zhang, I have another question."
"Can you give me an item that Liu Chang has used before, or something that smells like him?"
"oh?"
Boss Zhang opened his eyes again and looked at Lu Lin curiously.
Unexpectedly, this small team looks inconspicuous, but it still has such means.
"Okay, let me get it for you."
When Lao Zhang raised his hand, an illusory cabinet made of star power appeared in front of him. He identified it, opened one of the drawers, and took out several pairs of chopsticks.
Then with another wave of his hand, the cabinet composed of star power disappeared.
"These are the chopsticks they used when they had their last meal. I don't know which pair Liu Chang used."
Lu Lin took it and carefully felt the breath on the chopsticks.
I don’t know how Boss Zhang preserved it, but there is no trace of his breath on it.
Lu Lin remembered clearly and returned the chopsticks to Lao Zhang.
"Okay, thank you Boss Zhang, let's go."
Boss Zhang waved his hand and asked Lu Lin and the others to leave without saying a word.
"Captain, you already have a goal, right?"
Fang Gang asked.
"No."
"But Boss Zhang said that the other party appeared in Xingmang Mountain, so let's go there and have a look."
Lu Lin said, turning his head to look at Chen Xiran who didn't speak much along the way.
"Xi Ran, how are you?"
"Captain, I'm fine, I'm okay."
Chen Xiran has been biting her lip since she entered the foreign battlefield, and when she speaks at this time, she also gives people a soft and weak feeling.
In Lu Lin's impression, the woman who was unpleasant to everyone had completely disappeared.
In fact, Chen Xiran has an extremely confident mentality. After encountering setbacks and blows, it turns into the completely opposite feeling of inferiority.
When I handed over responsibility to Lu Lin for the first time, it was just a protective shield erected against my low self-esteem.
What she looks like now is a sign of true inferiority.
Lu Lin shook his head and stopped talking.
Xingmang Mountain is not far from the City of God of Cookery, and Lu Lin only walked for about half an hour before arriving nearby.
Because there are human warrior activities near Xingmang Mountain all year round, the strange beasts here have basically disappeared.
Lu Lin took a look at the rather huge mountain range and activated his newly learned eye star technique.
Guidelines.
[Star Skill:Guide]
[Introduction: You can see the guide, searching for secrets and treasures is like picking up objects from a bag (active skill)]
[Remarks: Follow the arrow and you won’t go wrong]
This is the eye-based star skill that Lu Lin guided himself that night after teaching Yang Jun the star skill.
Lu Lin tried it several times when he was in school, and it worked very well.
As long as you rely on a little information and breath, you can find what you want.
This time coming to the foreign battlefield to look for Liu Chang is a good opportunity to test his star skills.
"Come with me."
Lu Lin looked at the illusory arrow that suddenly appeared in front of his eyes and took the lead.
Behind him, Fang Gang and Bai Buyi followed immediately. Chen Xiran hesitated for a moment and then quickly caught up.
Although Xingmang Mountain is in the wild, it is a little different from what Lu Lin imagined.
He thought that the wilderness of a foreign battlefield would be filled with towering trees, a deserted area, and strange beasts everywhere, and there would be sneak attacks from time to time.
But now when he came to Xingmang Mountain, Lu Lin realized that he was wrong.
There are small wooden houses of various styles everywhere. Occasionally, people poke their heads out of the wooden houses and look at Lu Lin and his party curiously.
Lu Lin passed through a large area of almost endless cabins before truly entering Xingmang Mountain.
"Pulp rustle."
A strange squirrel-like animal ran past the tree, making Lu Lin very nervous.
Holding the broken knife in his hand, he hardly relaxed for a moment.
"call out."
A shadow quickly came to Lu Lin.
He cut it with a knife.
The thing fell to the ground.
Only then did Lu Lin see that it was a frog-like beast that had always been covered in lavender.
"Purple-skinned poison frog!"
Bai Buyi recognized the type of frog at a glance. He stepped forward and fiddled with the poisonous baby that was chopped into two pieces by Lu Lin with his alloy sword. He shook his head: "There is no mutation, no research value, and you can't eat it. Forget it."
Lu Lin's mood calmed down a little at this time.
He felt that he was a little too nervous.
In the previous courses, he had already completed the basic training and evenly matched courses. Just when he was about to learn one versus a hundred and jungle exploration, he received a mission to enter a foreign battlefield.
Strictly speaking, Lu Lin is just a rookie who has not yet completed training.
"Captain, don't be too nervous. We have just entered Xingmang Mountain. There are not so many dangers."
"However, the work of opening roads is indeed quite difficult. You can take a break later and let me do it."
Bai Buyi said.
"good."
"Then it's up to you."
Lu Lin didn't show off, he felt that he was indeed a little too nervous.
There is no problem if he persists like this for a while. If he remains in a tense state, he may have a mental breakdown before he can find the Liu Chang.
Half an hour later, Bai Buyi began to clear the way ahead. He did not have the ability to see the guidance like Lu Lin, so he directly released several of his summoned beasts to keep them on guard.
On the ground, there were dozens of white rats running around.
In the sky, there are seven or eight storm birds on alert.
There are also dire lions, earth pythons, and black-striped white tigers as guardians.
The appearance of so many summoned beasts made both Lu Lin, Fang Gang and Chen Xiran feel very safe.
If there is any abnormality, these summoned beasts can issue a warning immediately.
Lu Lin even wanted to try sitting on the back of a two-meter-tall white tiger with black stripes.
Lu Lin and the others were not the only ones who felt happy and safe.
The summoned beasts didn't know why, but they felt extremely at ease, as if they had avoided some terrible disaster.
Relying on the guidance star skill, Lu Lin led everyone to walk for more than two hours, and finally came to a cave.
Seeing the traces of human life around him, Lu Lin smiled.
If there is nothing wrong with the Star Guidance Technique, then this should be where Liu Chang is hiding.
"Be careful when you go in later."
"When Liu Chang was discovered, he was knocked unconscious as soon as possible."
"If you encounter strong resistance, you can kill them on the spot."
"Chen Xiran."
After Lu Lin finished speaking, he called Chen Xiran,
But Chen Xiran jumped suddenly, with a look of fear in her eyes.
"team leader."
"Well, you will be responsible for guarding the entrance of the cave later. If anyone runs out of the cave, you will attack directly."
"When I come out, I will tell you my identity."
"understand?"
This was the only solution Lu Lin could think of.
As long as Chen Xiran is not allowed to participate in the battle, she cannot hold herself back.
In addition, when entering such an unknown place, you must leave a person on guard outside.
After listening to Lu Lin's arrangement, Chen Xiran's face softened a little, and she nodded: "No problem, captain, I'll guard here."
Lu Lin looked into Chen Xiran's eyes and nodded seriously.
I checked my equipment and entered the cave first.
Although Fang Gang and Bai Buyi were curious as to why Lu Lin could find Liu Chang's hiding place so accurately, now was not a good time to chat.
Follow Lu Lin in.
The structure of this cave is quite peculiar. It is very narrow at first, but after walking a distance of five or six meters, it can accommodate two people walking side by side.
After that, Lu Lin and the others saw a large cave.
Inside, there was a middle-aged man in federal uniform, cooking in front of a simple stove.
Seeing Lu Lin and others coming in, the man looked up in surprise.
"ah--"
With a loud shout, the man turned around and ran away.
But he didn't run towards Lu Lin, but towards another place, the real cave entrance.
"Boss, someone is coming to arrest you!"
"Run quickly!"
The middle-aged man's voice was a little hoarse, and Lu Lin rushed forward upon seeing this.
But it's too late.
At this time, more than ten figures suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cave.
