When he reached out and pressed it, the team immediately stopped.
After Lin Bao's sneak attack, although they were not as scared as a bird, they were much more vigilant than before.
The few sergeants who were carrying the prey immediately threw down their burdens. They took out their weapons and hid themselves carefully. If something happens ahead, even their lives will be threatened, let alone mere prey.
Ouyang Ming also followed the exile and put down his prey, hiding behind a big tree. However, there was no tension in his heart, because the +1 vision had allowed him to see the situation ahead.
The two scouts who were exploring the road ahead were walking back, and behind them was a middle-aged man dressed similarly. The three of them looked relaxed, talking and laughing freely, and they obviously knew each other.
A moment later, the man came to the crowd, raised his hands to Yan Haobo and said, "Chang Yan, Zhuang Juncai from the Nanying Guards is here to pay my respects."
He said goodbye, but he only bowed. However, no one cares about this place.
Yan Haobo nodded slowly and said, "So we are brothers from Nanying. Have you just entered the forest?"
Zhuang Juncai's face turned slightly red and he said, "We have followed Captain Yu into the forest for more than ten days."
Yan Haobo was startled and asked in surprise: "Is Captain Yu here in person?"
The military camp is divided into five battalions: southeast, northwest, and middle. The middle camp is naturally where the main general is located, while the other four battalions are brothers, colleagues, and competitors.
Captain Yu is naturally Yu Hailiang, the personal guard captain of the South Camp commander. With his status, he should not enter the forest unless he is on a whim or encounters something that ordinary sergeants cannot solve.
Zhuang Juncai's face was solemn and he said: "Exactly."
Yan Haobo chuckled and said, "Since Captain Yu personally took action, he must have gained a lot, right?"
Zhuang Juncai glanced at the six beasts lying on the ground and said with a wry smile: "Chang Yan Huo, to be honest, compared to you, we haven't gained anything. Instead, we have lost three brothers."
Yan Haobo's face changed slightly and he said in disbelief: "What?"
Yu Hailiang is similar to Liu Zhengye, captain of the Xiying Guards, in terms of status and cultivation level.
If Liu Zhengye personally led people into the forest and there was no prey for more than ten days, but instead lost people, it could only mean one thing.
Looking at Zhuang Juncai with flickering eyes, Yan Haobo said: "Brother Zhuang, could it be that you have met a big guy?"
Ouyang Ming's heart moved slightly, and he naturally understood that this big guy was no ordinary beast.
Sure enough, Zhuang Juncai said solemnly: "Chang Yan Huo, to be honest, we encountered a half-elf beast, and a fierce battle led to this situation." He paused and said: "Captain Yu is in front, he wants to We need to ask Yan Huo Zhang, the long-range archers in the team, and the brothers with second-level cultivation or above to lend a helping hand.”
"Half-elf beast!" Yan Haobo gasped. He smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Zhuang, this matter is of great importance. I want to discuss it with my brothers."
Zhuang Juncai smiled and said: "That's natural. In that case, I will go back and wait for good news." He did not continue to persuade, but clasped his fists and saluted, then turned and left.
When he was far away, the archer and another sergeant exploring the way ahead both said in unison: "Fire Chief, let's do it!"
Ouyang Ming was startled. Yan Haobo hadn't asked yet, but the two men spoke so eagerly. It seems that Zhuang Juncai also knows that Yan Haobo and others will definitely agree.
Sure enough, the remaining people, even the three injured ones, had bright eyes and looked eager to try.
Yan Haobo glanced at everyone coldly and said: "That is a half-elf beast, far from being comparable to a ferocious beast. You should know what kind of person Captain Yu is. Even he is helpless and has to lose his troops. Hehe, even if we are Once it’s over, you may not be able to come back alive!”
The soldier who was traveling with the archer stuck out his tongue, licked his chapped lips, and said with a smile: "Chief Huo, we are all warriors who serve as soldiers. We just keep our heads in our belts." He paused. After a pause, he added: "Wealth is gained through danger. I only know how great the benefits will be if we really kill that half-elf beast."
After listening to his words, everyone who was a little shaken became firm again, and even their eyes were a little hotter than before.
If they were ordinary soldiers, they might be afraid of death. However, those who can become members of the Guards are those who are bold and fearless of death. If they can only retreat when encountering difficulties, how can they be qualified to be selected
However, Ouyang Ming still looked at this person differently because of this.
Along the way, he already knew that this person was Jin Tao, the second best player in the team after Yan Haobo. Even if he fought against Yan Haobo with a second-level cultivation level, he would not be completely defeated.
"Chang Huo, we're done!"
Everyone spoke one after another, but no one flinched.
Yan Haobo snorted coldly and said: "You are stupid, haven't you heard? They only need archers and second-level Yin-grade or above. As for the others, please wait here for me, take care of the loot in your hands, and don't cause trouble." "
Everyone laughed a few times, and except for Jin Tao and the two archers who looked forward to it, everyone else looked regretful.
Ouyang Ming asked curiously: "Chang Yan Huo, what is this half-elf beast? Is it worth your risk?"
Yan Haobo smiled and said: "Master Ou, these half-elf beasts are actually mutated varieties of wild beasts in the forest. They are much worse than the legendary spirit beasts, but they already have power that ordinary people can't contend with. To deal with them, even if It was the general who took action himself, and he also needed the help of the army to conquer and kill them." At this point, he changed the subject and said, "However, if we really succeed, we will have a lot of merits!"
Looking at the brilliance flashing in his eyes, Ouyang Ming knew that this achievement was definitely a lot.
Meritorious service in the military has a wide range of uses, especially in exchanging equipment and medicine. If you don't have enough meritorious service, you may not be able to get it no matter how much money you spend.
Although Ouyang Ming has no need for equipment, he also understands the importance of meritorious service.
The reason why he himself had the opportunity to come into contact with arms was because the old craftsman had used the merits accumulated over decades.
After pondering for a while, Ouyang Ming said: "Chang Yan Huo, how about you take me there with you?"
Yan Haobo's expression changed slightly and he said, "Master Ou, this is no joke. We had to risk our lives in the past." What he meant was that it was too dangerous there and not a place for you to play.
Ouyang Ming frowned slightly. He knew that if he didn't come up with some real materials, not to mention Captain Yu, even Yan Haobo wouldn't be able to pass the test in front of him.
With a flip of his wrist, Ouyang Ming took out a dagger and said, "Chang Yan Huo, what do you think of this dagger?"
Yan Haobo took it and looked at it for a few times, and praised: "What a sharp dagger, I'm afraid it must be of high grade."
Envy and a hint of greed flashed through everyone's eyes. A top-grade weapon, even just a dagger, was worthy of their full pursuit.
However, Ouyang Ming smiled slightly. He took the dagger and suddenly threw it towards a big tree in the distance with all his strength.
Yan Haobo and others were confused and didn't know what he was doing. However, when the dagger finally touched the big tree, it exploded with a bang, and countless steel fragments shot into the big tree like falling rain.
Although there are some ripples in the surrounding areas, there is no difference in the main direction.
Yan Haobo and others were stunned, and their expressions changed drastically. At this moment, they had a thought in their minds, what would be the result if this dagger exploded against them. Even Yan Haobo felt palpitations in his heart. If he had been in a different place, he would probably have turned into a corpse full of holes in flesh and blood.
"What, what is this..." Yan Haobo murmured.
Ouyang Ming shrugged his shoulders and said, "This is a forging technique I have recently mastered. It can make the weapon explode when it hits the enemy." His eyes turned and fell on the two archers. Said: "Since Captain Yu is looking for archers, he should be able to use this kind of arrows, right?"
The eyes of Yan Haobo and others suddenly lit up.
After seeing the explosive power of the dagger, their attitudes suddenly changed 180 degrees.
If this explosive ability could be transferred to arrows... This picture was so emotional that they didn't dare to think too much about it.
"Okay, Master Ou, please come with us!" Yan Haobo said immediately.
At this moment, he was extremely glad that he really did the right thing by taking Master Ou with him this time.
Everyone dug a pit in the ground and piled the prey in it. Afterwards, Yan Haobo led Jin Tao, the two archers and Ouyang Ming towards the front, while the remaining few took care of the wounded and guarded the prey.
Long-range archers are just that, but to stop the half-elf beast at close range, you need at least a second-level Yin-grade martial arts cultivation level or above. Otherwise, you will not be helping, but running to hold back.
Of course, for a forging master like Ouyang Ming, that's a different matter.
They didn't go far when they met Zhuang Juncai. He was not surprised by Yan Haobo's choice, otherwise he wouldn't be waiting here.
The two parties met and continued to move forward. Two hundred meters away, they suddenly saw a group of people sitting or standing scattered. Their total number was at least twenty, plus nearby guards and damaged personnel. There were at least three groups of people entering the dense forest from the southern camp.
In the center, a man with a slender figure and particularly thick joints in his hands glanced over.
His eyes were like lightning, with a hint of capableness.
"Is he the Fire Chief of the West Camp, Yan Huo?" Yu Hailiang smiled slightly, pointed to the person next to him, and said, "This is the Fire Chief of the Central Camp, Jiang Chengwei. Haha, for this half-elf beast, we have to work together among the three battalions."
Yan Haobo and Jiang Chengwei greeted each other. Jiang Chengwei was the fire chief of the middle camp, and his status was slightly higher than Yan Haobo's.
He glanced at Ouyang Ming at the end, frowned slightly, and said: "Chang Yan Huo, we are here to surround and kill the half-elf beasts. It is extremely dangerous. We are not just traveling around. People who are not strong enough should go back."
