"I have already obtained the information about the armed group, and the strategy is still based on assault and infiltration. It is quite a headache to match personnel and weapons. Now I only have a preliminary idea. Let ten team members carry out regular configuration, and two captains will equip Mana weapons can only be broken through in a point-to-point way. Ignore those miscellaneous soldiers and directly kill the leader of the opponent and several personal guards above the tenth level."

Allen lay down on the mountain platform, looking at the blue sky above his head: "Kill the leader and guards of the opponent, they have no leader, and it will be much easier to disperse or kill them."

"Magic weapons?" Adele rolled her eyes and said, "You dare to think about it. You know, Beth Keld doesn't have a magic weapon production base. Even our Mossen family is a joint venture with several other families. Only two magic weapons production lines have been supported. So you should know that magic weapons are not cheap. Even a first-grade magic weapon like a bee stinger is not cheap, and the market price is around 50,000."

"I'm afraid you can't afford that little military expenditure?"

Allen smiled and nodded: "You're right, the money left after the conventional equipment is enough to buy a magic weapon. But don't forget, Mr. Hughton and I learned the Rubik's Cube sequence. The components of Mowu Relatively much cheaper. As for the sequence, I can design, manufacture and install it myself. I have calculated, the money for one Mowu. If the sequence is made by myself, I can make two Mowu. If according to that The mana weapons tailored by the two captains, I think, can increase their combat power by a few percent, which is more powerful than equipped with conventional weapons."

Adele blinked and said, "You can already process and make the sequence yourself?"

"It can only make low-level sequences." Allen said honestly.

"That's pretty good, at least you've saved a lot of money." Adele patted him on the shoulder, and said again: "You actually told me these things, you're not afraid that I'll sell them as information. Tell me You, that brat Weber paid a lot of money to search for information on you everywhere."

Allen said, "You wouldn't do that, would you?"

"It's hard to say, if the money he pays is high enough." Adele said slyly.

Allen said calmly: "I know you won't do this."

"Don't talk like a roundworm in my stomach, sister, you didn't know where I was when I betrayed you." Adele said disdainfully.

"I just think I'm more attractive than that Weber."

"Really? I think your skin is getting thicker."

Allen jumped up and said, "Speaking of which, who dares to be the roost in front of Miss Adele." Before she finished speaking, Allen laughed and jumped out into the void of the platform, volleying towards a camphor tree below. , grabbing the branch with his hand, and using it to get rid of the seven-point fall, he jumped to the ground and rolled on the spot, and finally stood up and shouted: "It's getting late, I'll treat you to lunch."

Adele gritted her teeth and said, "Don't think you can get rid of me with just one lunch!"

Allen laughed and jumped towards another camphor tree on the hillside. Adele rolled her eyes and shouted, "Allen, why don't I marry you after you graduate! You can also squeeze out a rich dowry from grandpa!"

"What!" Allen just jumped onto the tree branch, and was startled when he heard Adele's words. His feet slipped and he fell from the tree.

Adele burst out laughing.

In the study of the old castle, Horn's ears twitched, as if he heard something.

This weekend, Allen had a much more lively life than usual.

When there is a touch of autumn in the wind blowing through Babylon, the surface world ushers in the most active and dangerous season for dangerous species. Before winter, except for a few dangerous species, all followed the instinct of beasts and made early preparations for surviving the severe winter season. Take saber-toothed wolves as an example. They must increase their fat by 45% before winter to ensure their survival in winter when food is hard to find.

At this time, the aggressiveness of dangerous species is the highest in a year. Therefore, every autumn, there will always be large-scale dangerous species activities on the surface. For this reason, before winter, the garrison troops in various areas on the surface will strengthen patrols in the fringe areas and hunt down a certain number of dangerous species to ensure the safety of people in the area.

As for Babylon, once every three years, the autumn hunting activities held by the three giants in turn also brought a certain degree of restraint to the overactive dangerous species. This activity started more than 200 years ago, when the number of dangerous species increased sharply. In order to prevent the excessive number of dangerous species from causing unpredictable damage to the family's factories and companies on the surface, it was initiated by the Smith family, one of the wealthy families at that time. , and joined forces with other famous families to launch a large-scale hunting campaign against dangerous species on the surface.

Afterwards, this activity was preserved and gradually evolved into a tradition named Autumn Hunting.

It's just that the participants of the autumn hunt are no longer the strong men of those big families, but the young children of each family. It evolved from a hunting action to an aristocratic sport with a social nature. The only thing that remains the same is the rewards. After the week-long autumn hunting is over, rankings will be made according to the number of dangerous species hunted by all noble children. Those who rank in the top ten can get rewards, and the rewards for the top three are even richer. Among them are not only millions of money rewards, but also 10 levels of magical equipment, the potion "Light of the Stars" that can stimulate the potential of the human body, the source jade "Eye of Shadow" that can increase the speed of gathering the source force of the shadow attribute, and even There are also some works of art with appreciation value.

Those rewards in kind, throwing any of them in the black street can cause a bloody fight, so they are naturally good things that make people die. However, the top ten of Autumn Hunting have always been arranged by the children of wealthy families. After all, their resources are far superior to the children of ordinary families, and their growth rate is naturally not comparable to that of children of other ordinary families. So those coveted rewards rarely fall into the hands of non-wealthy children.

But even so, those who are qualified to participate in each autumn hunt do not want to miss it, because this is a rare opportunity to build their own network. Maybe you can still get into the relationship with a wealthy family, even if you don't get any rewards, this trip is not in vain.

Therefore, when Alan and Leon got off the same small spaceship, many young people cast unabashed jealousy at Alan. You must know that not everyone can participate in the autumn hunt, and only the direct blood relatives of each family are eligible to participate. But Allen is still a side branch to the outside world, and logically he is not qualified to participate in such activities. But Leon had invited him as a friend, which was another matter.

Allen is no stranger to those inexplicable hostile gazes. You must know that this morning, when the young master of William's family stabbed the magic spaceship and landed it on the parking lot of Dawn Blade, Allen had already endured a round. The baptism of the public eye. As for now, he is somewhat immune.

"Never mind them, and

I come. "Leon took Allen to jump into the off-road vehicle that had been waiting near the spaceship, and drove straight into the forest.

They are now located on the western edge of the Whispering Forest in Area 11 on the surface, which is next to the Whirling Cloud Snow Mountain. The altitude of Xuanyun Snow Mountain is extremely high, and the highest peak, Xueshen Peak, has been hidden in the clouds and mist for many years. The mountain range is high in the south and low in the north, and it is in a roundabout shape. The snow-capped mountains are covered with snow all the year round. From a high altitude, the silver-white snow-capped mountains are coiled like snakes, and the mountains are surrounded by clouds and mists, so it is named as the swirling clouds.

The Whispering Forest covers an area of over a thousand hectares. The east side of the forest is bordered by Xuanyun Snow Mountain, the west side of the forest is the widest, and the east side is the narrowest. The trees are composed of cold-resistant species such as spruce, fir, and larch, which are typical coniferous forest belts. There are hundreds of species of dangerous species that inhabit the forest, and they are numerous. Among them, the saber-toothed wolf, the frost tyrant bear, the Tyranid multi-eyed monitor lizard and the two-headed multi-horned lion are the main ones.

It is rumored that in the depths of the forest, there is also a tenth-level terrifying and dangerous species of dark twilight king snakes. It can affect the mind and will of a creature, making it willing to become its food. When the dark twilight king snake affects its mind, it will hear whispers as if from hell demons. Therefore, this also became the origin of the name of the Whispering Forest.

Before the autumn hunting started, the guards of William's family had conducted a thorough investigation of the Whispering Forest, and determined the level of the hunting area according to the level of dangerous species and their habitat. And the regional grades will be marked in obvious places, from low to high, with five grades from A to E. Areas above Level E are areas where hunting is prohibited, which represents unknown dangers.

This is also the common area division method for every autumn hunting, and usually, the scope of hunting is mostly stopped in the D-level area. Few people go deep into the E-level area, or even beyond the E-level area. After all, this is just a social event to enhance friendship among nobles, not a battlefield where the nobles fight for their lives. Even well-equipped wealthy children would not be willing to enter too dangerous areas to hunt dangerous species.

Even if hunting a high-level dangerous species is equivalent to a large number of low-level species, no one will be so crazy.

Alan sat in Leon's car and came to the temporary camp of the William family. In this cleared and clean camp, the guards of the William family set up wooden fences and sentries to ensure the safety of the family members in the camp. Tents have been set up in the temporary camp, and each tent has similar but slightly different emblems. The family coat of arms of the William family is the golden-winged war eagle, which is designed in noble gold. The family's golden eagle battle flag was erected around the camp as an obvious sign. As for the pattern of the tents in the camp, there are also some war eagles, but the colors are mostly red, black, blue, and gray.

Like Leon's tent, the pattern of the eagle's head on it is red and black, and only the eyeballs of the war eagle are embellished with gold. Allen scanned around and found that there were only four tents that could have the golden eyeball war eagle emblem.

The temporary camp is a resting place for the family members during autumn hunting, and it is also a safe area in the Whispering Forest. In the safe area of each family, there will be guards and masters of their own family to ensure the personal safety of family members. Of course, every autumn hunting, there are many precedents of willful and reckless noble children spending the night in the hunting area, but being chased by the dangerous nocturnal species.

When Leon led Allen to get into his tent, a voice with a sweet but bitter tone sounded behind them: "Brother Leon, your taste is really getting worse and worse. You even got along with some side branches?" Inferior people make friends!"
