The gathering place for the hunting team was at the Beast Control Square. When Wang Dong arrived, more than half of the people were already waiting there, lining up neatly.
Meng Conghu, who was standing at the front of the team, was counting the number of people. When he saw Wang Dong approaching, Meng Conghu grinned and raised his hand to say hello.
"Hey, why is he here?"
"No way. Is this Wang Dong going to hunt the purple-eyed ape with us?"
"Are you kidding me? How can I safely hand over my back to an abortion..."
Just as Wang Dong was about to get to the end of the queue, he heard everyone starting to criticize him in a low voice. Wang Dong raised his eyebrows helplessly, ignored everyone's comments, and found an open space to wait.
One after another, members of the hunting team rushed to the assembly point and joined the ranks of pointing fingers at Wang Dong. Everyone did not like Wang Dong as an outsider, so that after everyone arrived, Yun Beast Villa The disciples stood together, leaving Wang Dong aside.
Seeing Wang Dong's alienated look, Meng Conghu grinned. Regardless of everyone's objections, he pulled Wang Dong to the head of the team and stood side by side with Wang Dong.
"Meng Conghu, what do you mean? Does this refugee want to be with us?"
"What are you doing with him? Wasn't the candidate already decided three days ago? Why did you add someone privately? Do you think we are not strong enough?"
Upon noticing Meng Conghu's actions, the faces of everyone in the team became more and more unkind, and the looks they looked at Wang Dong became even more disgusting.
"Stop talking nonsense, I have the final say on who to bring..." Meng Conghu shouted, trying to stop everyone's criticism of Wang Dong.
"Let him go... with him or without me!"
"Yes, you can't let a stray person join the hunting team, or I will quit!"
Meng Conghu's overly tough words immediately had the opposite effect, and the crowd's protests became more intense. Meng Conghu alone could not control the situation at all.
"Quiet, what's the point of making noise!" While everyone was arguing and protesting, the figure of the fourth elder Meng Baiyan floated over. The corners of his mouth trembled in anger at the chaotic scene in front of him, and he suddenly let out a loud roar with an angry face.
"grandfather… "
"Fourth Elder..."
Seeing Meng Baiyan coming with an angry look on his face, the noise in the Beast Control Square suddenly became quiet. Everyone closed their mouths and did not dare to make a sound.
"With your mentality, you are already in disarray even before you see the Purple Eyed Ape!" Meng Baiyan said: "Do you think the Purple Eyed Ape is easy to catch? If it were easy to catch, Meng Qi Our team will not be completely wiped out! Wang Dong is quite strong, I asked Cong Hu to invite him to come and act with you, don’t be rude to him!"
After the fourth elder said this, he nodded slightly to Wang Dong. The fourth elder's show of goodwill warmed Wang Dong's heart, and he nodded without hesitation and smiled back.
"Let me add a few more words to you..." Seeing everyone stop, Meng Baiyan said loudly like a bell: "Although this purple-eyed violent ape baby is a tenth-level soul beast, you must understand the difference between catching and killing it alive. The difference is that the requirements for strength between the two are completely different, so you must not take it lightly, do you understand?"
"I understand!" As soon as Meng Baiyan finished speaking, everyone in the hunting team shouted in unison.
After Meng Baiyan finished speaking, he told Meng Conghu a few more words, waved his hands to everyone, and then left. Meng Conghu waved his hand and said to everyone in the hunting team: "Did everyone hear what the fourth elder said? Pack your bags and get up to the teleportation array!"
Meng Conghu gave an order, and everyone in the hunting team began to enter the teleportation array in the corner of the Beast Control Square in an orderly manner. Looking at the teleportation array, the figures of the hunting team members disappeared one by one in the light. Wang Dong also followed. Behind Meng Conghu, he stepped into the teleportation array.
The teleportation array in the Beast Royal Plaza leads to the Mountain Gate Valley of the Royal Beast Villa. After Wang Dong and the hunting team teleported out, Meng Conghu began to order everyone to go to the beast stables to select mountain leopards and prepare to enter the Soul Beast Mountain Forest.
Everyone led the mountain leopard out one after another. Wang Dong stood outside the animal stable with some embarrassment, looking at the busy people. He also wanted to choose a mountain leopard to ride, but the soul beast was not an ordinary mount. , without practicing the method of controlling beasts, there is no way to control it. Seeing everyone receiving their mounts, Wang Dong could only stare.
"If you can't even ride a mountain leopard, how can you hunt a soul beast? What a waste!"
"You don't even know the most basic common sense of life. This is simply abnormal!"
The members of the hunting team who received the mount noticed Wang Dong's embarrassment and laughed at Wang Dong again without hesitation. In the eyes of these people, Wang Dong was unable to do things that the children of the Beast Controlling Clan could easily do. This could no longer be described as incompetent.
Hearing everyone's ridicule, Wang Dong felt extremely speechless. He had never practiced the method of controlling beasts, and he was not a member of the beast-controlling tribe who depended on soul beasts for life. It would be abnormal if he could control the mountain leopard.
Sensing Wang Dong's embarrassment, Meng Conghu led his Winter Tiger to Wang Dong and said to Wang Dong: "Wang Dong, we two brothers can ride on my Winter Tiger together in a moment. It's fast." No worse than a mountain leopard..."
"That's all we can do..." Wang Dong smiled bitterly, followed Meng Conghu, and climbed onto the huge winter tiger.
"Don't say a few words, let's get down to business!" Meng Conghu controlled the Winter Tiger to return to the hunting team and said loudly: "The beast tide broke out from the south of the Soul Beast Mountain Forest and surged to the north. We teleported to the southern mountain forest. That is the source of the outbreak of the beast tide, and it is also the closest to the purple-eyed violent ape."
After Meng Conghu finished speaking, he began to direct the members of the hunting team to jump onto the teleportation array. While commanding, he said: "After you teleport out, don't act rashly. After everyone is assembled, we can launch a unified search."
When the last member of the hunting team disappeared on the teleportation platform, Meng Conghu controlled the Winter Leopard to jump up, and he and Wang Dong's figure were submerged in the light of the teleportation array.
In the southern forest of the Soul Beast Mountain Forest, more than fifty mountain leopard riders gathered together in a mighty manner, with an astonishing power.
Although the hunting team carried an invincible momentum, all the mountain leopard riders had a look of astonishment on their faces. They gathered at the exit of the teleportation array and looked at the hellish scene in front of them, unable to say anything for a while.
There are swaying trees everywhere, which are the ruins left behind after the beast tide ran through. All the vegetation on the ground was trampled by the beast tide, leaving only a patch of pits and the footprints of the beast's feet. Scattered traces of the beast's footprints can still be seen on the ground. They saw the trampled bodies of some weak soul beasts, with blood splattering and bones and flesh flying everywhere.
Just from the scene in front of them, everyone could imagine the terrifying situation on the day when the beast tide broke out. The sense of relaxation that everyone had in their hearts before setting off disappeared instantly. Now that they thought about it, how could Meng Qi escape from this hell on earth? It is not easy to escape back to Yushou Villa.
"Cheer up, let's search in depth!" As the team leader, Meng Conghu didn't want the whole team to be in a low mood at the beginning. He shouted and drove the Winter Leopard to the front of the team. Just listen to him say: "You must remember that it is the beast tide that caused this mess, not the purple-eyed violent ape, it is just the culprit!"
After hearing this, the mountain forest leopard riders suddenly calmed down a lot. They drove the leopards to follow Meng Conghu closely, and together they searched the Soul Beast Mountain Forest.
Although the mountain leopards and winter tigers have strong bodies and strong adaptability to the terrain, the roads they follow are full of bumpy footprints guessed by the herd. Over time, these mountain leopards have become too much. Meng Conghu Because the Winter Tiger carried two people, its speed also became slower.
"What a burden!"
"Are you going to hold us back with a guy like this?"
Realizing that Meng Conghu's mount was slower than the mountain leopard, the dislike of Wang Dong among the mountain leopard riders became even more obvious.
"Watch your mouth!" Hearing the unkind remarks made by everyone towards Wang Dong, Meng Conghu shouted: "After seeing the purple-eyed violent ape, your performance can be as powerful as your tongue... Now go ahead. What's the point?"
Everyone stopped amidst a cold snort and followed Meng Conghu to continue searching.
In everyone's field of vision, the surrounding scene was still a mess, with no change at all. They had been searching for such a long time, not to mention the purple-eyed violent ape, not even a soul beast could be seen.
"The pressure of the purple-eyed violent ape is too strong. All the soul beasts in this area have fled..." Meng Conghu, who noticed this, said: "It's okay if there are no soul beasts. This at least means that we are looking in the right direction. "
Wang Dong nodded and couldn't help but look at Meng Conghu with admiration. Although Meng Conghu was wild and arrogant by nature, his understanding of soul beasts was far beyond ordinary people. Maybe the four elders in the Royal Beast Villa took a fancy to Meng Conghu. Because of this characteristic of the tiger, he was sent to lead the hunting team.
After a whole day of searching, the entire hunting team still found nothing. During the entire search process, Meng Conghu served as their guide. He guided the way for everyone by observing the surrounding terrain and traces of the animal tide.
When evening fell, Meng Conghu took out a map of the Soul Beast Mountain Forest from his body. After observing it carefully, he stopped the Winter Tiger from moving forward, turned around and said to everyone: "Today's search ends here. Well, we must set up a temporary camp before night falls, settle down, rest for a night, and then go on the road to search the next day."
"Meng Conghu, isn't there our outpost nearby?" a mountain leopard rider asked: "Where can I find shelter? Isn't it enough to find our outpost? There is food and drinking water in the outpost..."
"I just looked at the map and confirmed that the nearby outpost is at our feet..." Meng Conghu sighed helplessly and said, "It has been completely destroyed by the beast tide."
"What? The outpost was destroyed?!"
"How can we keep ourselves safe without outposts?"
"It's over now. If the purple-eyed ape attacks at night..."
Hearing Meng Conghu's response, everyone subconsciously looked at their feet. When they found some fragments of stone objects in the soil under their feet, their faces suddenly became ugly.
All the mountain leopard riders could not accept the fact that the outpost was destroyed by the beast tide. Some even thought of retreating and looked behind them from time to time.
"Do we have to have an outpost?" Sensing the desperate look on everyone's face, Wang Dong couldn't help but asked curiously: "Can't we just camp where we are? Just spend the night. I live alone in the Soul Beast Mountain Forest. I got by just fine without an outpost for several months.”
"That's just because you were lucky and didn't encounter dangerous soul beasts. Do we, more than fifty people, have to rely on luck to spend the night? What's more, the beast tide hasn't completely dissipated yet. Do you want to kill us under the hooves of beasts? What?"
"Country boy, the purpose of establishing the outpost is for the beast-control tribesmen to cope with the night. This is the most correct way of life that we have summarized from living in the soul beast forest for thousands of years. You are just in the soul beast forest. After staying here for a few months, do you want us to change our thousands of years of living habits?”
"He's just an outcast, there's no need to talk nonsense to him!"
Wang Dong's words immediately aroused a wave of dissatisfaction. For a time, Wang Dong became the target of all the mountain leopard riders, and all kinds of sarcastic remarks were heard endlessly.
