Suddenly being hugged tightly, Jian Le froze for a moment, and then smiled sincerely: "Yes, everything will be fine."

"Hey! You two are on a mission, can you take a snack!"

Xu Xiasheng's shout interrupted the conversation between the two, Jian Le blushed, pushed Rong Heng away, and hurried to catch up with the team.

The team was full of young people with good physical strength, and the group quickly reached the edge of the plain.

"Stop!" Rong Heng stopped Alves from entering the woods, "Everyone come here."

The other five people gathered around after hearing the words, Rong Heng clicked on the map, pointed to a piece of dark green and said: "From here we have entered the mountainous area, the vegetation will become more and more lush, and the sight line will be severely blocked. Before entering the mountainous area, we must formulate basic plan."

His suggestion was approved by everyone, and Xu Xiasheng signaled him to continue.

"Although the task is formulated according to the requirements of the army, it is only a graduation practice after all. With the participation of first-year freshmen, the degree of danger of the task will not be high. After each team completes the task, it will eventually meet at the base camp and combine the tasks we have received. , I deduce that the headquarters of the blue team is here."

Jian Le could understand every word of Rong Heng's words, but she couldn't understand why she could conclude that the headquarters was on a small light green block on the map.

Ava also had the same doubts. She blinked her big eyes and asked slowly, "Why are you here?"

"Look carefully," Rong Heng explained patiently, "There is a mountain range in front of us. Only by crossing this ridge can we reach the only water source in this area."

He points to the only blue color on the map.

"The task has a time limit. If the base camp is too far away, we will not be able to complete it on time, so I infer...the headquarters can only be in this area."

Rong Hang drew a circle centered on the blue area with his fingers, and Jian Le understood it at a glance.

The places with higher altitudes on the map are darker in color, and it is impossible to build a base camp on a steep mountain. There is only one light-colored point in the drawn area, which is indeed the most likely place to build a base camp.

Seeing that Jian Le's brows were loosened, Rong Heng asked, "I understand? Then arrange specific tasks next."

Rong Heng, who came from a military family, has a natural combat ability. After a period of time, he has clearly understood the abilities of each team member and assigned them corresponding tasks.

To put it simply, Xing Qi, who has superior eyesight, is in charge of guarding and leading the team. He walks in the front, and Xu Xiasheng assists and is also in charge of mechanical operation.Alves' ferret is quick and capable of using poison, walking in the middle, and in case of danger, he can take care of both front and rear.

Rong Heng put Jian Le, who hadn't shown any supernatural powers, and Ava, who had no combat ability and was the weakest, in the middle of the team, and he walked at the end of the team.

After the division of labor was completed, the team headed towards the mountains.

From the map, the mountain they are going to climb is 2784 meters above sea level, which is not considered a high mountain for supernatural beings.After entering the mountainous area, we found that the vegetation was not as dense as expected, so everyone was very confident to complete the task on time.

After walking for about three hours, the sky was getting darker, and the visibility in the forest was already very low due to the cover of vegetation.

"Pumpkin, are we looking for a place to camp?" Xu Xiasheng shouted at Rong Hang from the front.

Hearing such a down-to-earth nickname for the first time, Alves couldn't hold back a burst of laughter, but was afraid of making Rong Hang unhappy, so he held back.

There was no reaction on Rong Heng's face, but Jian Le, who was walking beside him, knew that he already had the urge to kill Xu Xiasheng.

"There is a place ahead with less vegetation." Xing Qi interjected at the right time to divert everyone's attention and avoid a fight.

A group of people walked forward for 2 minutes, and they came to a relatively open place.

"Wow, what a big tree!" Ava looked up at the huge banyan tree in front of her, and expressed her sincere admiration.

It was precisely because of such a big tree that they cleared a place for them to camp in the densely vegetated forest. The men were not idle. After arriving at the place, Rong Heng and Xing Qi went to investigate the surrounding area. Take Jian Le and Alves to clean up the site.

After Ava walked around the big tree, she climbed to a place two or three meters above the ground by the accompanying plants attached to the trunk, fiddled there for a while, and then climbed down the tree with a smile.

"Why are you climbing so high?" Alves saw it and asked.

Ava clapped her hands: "Set up a guard for us."

"What guard?" Alves looked up, and was surprised to find a glowing plant growing on the trunk at some point.

Jian Le came over and slapped him on the back: "Why are you opening your mouth wide? You're worried that you won't have enough for dinner, so you're going to pick up bird droppings?"

"Why are you so disgusting!" Alves pushed him away in disgust, and pointed at it, "Ava made something strange."

Jian Le looked in the direction he pointed, and her eyes widened in surprise: "Plants can glow, I read it right? Ava, how did you do it?"

"It's just a little trick. If there are large beasts coming at night, he will give us a warning."

"How to warn, didn't you say that he can't speak?"

Ava smiled: "This is not my spirit beast, it is a special plant. The light is to attract moths to pollinate him, but for self-protection, it will emit a particularly pungent smell when in danger. We do It has been modified so that whenever a large animal approaches, it can trigger his stress response."

"I don't understand, but I think it's amazing!"

Jian Le looked at the small plant and asked curiously, "It's so small and so far away from us, can you smell it?"

"Sure, his smell can spread five meters away."

Just as several people were talking, Rong Heng and the others came back, bringing along two rabbits and a bird whose name they didn't know.

"Meat!" Xu Xiasheng was the first to pounce on it, "It's great to be able to skip energy pills!"

Next, everyone worked together, and soon the smell of meat wafted out.

After finishing dinner, I found a compressed sleeping bag from the emergency kit, and after I lay down, it was completely dark.

For the sake of safety, several people took turns to watch the night, and Ava was the first.

Jian Le lay in the sleeping bag and couldn't fall asleep at all. He listened to the breathing of several other people and seemed to be awake.He suddenly understood why he arranged for Ava's first vigil. At this time, everyone couldn't sleep, so they quietly stayed awake with her.

Listening to the unique sounds in the forest, Jian Le's consciousness gradually became blurred, and she didn't know when she finally fell asleep.

He regained consciousness again, awakened by an unspeakable stench.

Before he opened his eyes, he heard Ava's nervous voice: "Everyone, get up, something is coming!"

Then there was Alves' strange voice: "I've been awake, and I didn't see anything."

As soon as Jian Le sat up from the sleeping bag, Rong Hang touched him, put his arms around his shoulders, and asked in a low voice, "Are you all right?"

"I'm fine, what happened?"

"I don't know." Rong Heng turned his head and shouted to the other side, "Xu Xiasheng, turn on the light!"

As soon as the words fell, a lamp with soft light was lit over there. Xu Xiasheng rarely showed a serious expression, holding up the lamp to look up at the plants on the tree.

"His light is dimmed, and something did come just now."

Ava had already climbed up, and I saw that she sprinkled some powder on the plant, and the previously vigorous plant withered instantly, and the stench disappeared.

Rong Heng pulled Jian Le to stand up, and said, "Xing Qi?"

"The light is not good, and I can't see farther. As far as it is within three meters, it is safe."

This was a rare long sentence for Xing Qi, but no one was in the mood to care about it. Everyone's nerves were tense because of the unknown enemy.

"Could it just be passing by?" Alves asked, "I guarantee that I didn't fall asleep, and I didn't see any large animals."

Ava shook her head: "It stands to reason that he must be very close to him to emit the stench."

"There is no possibility of accident?" Rong Heng asked.

Perhaps because she felt that what she said was too absolute, she would have the meaning of distrusting the other party, Ava glanced at Alves and said in a low voice: "It's not like that, if it directly hurts the plants, he will also emit a smell."

During this period of time, Alves was the vigilante. If someone said that someone had hurt the plants, he was the most suspicious.

Alves hesitated to speak, but finally said nothing, and stood there with his lips pursed.

Rong Hang was silent for a moment, and said: "Alves didn't see anything suspicious, which means it might just be an accident. As long as everyone is fine, go to sleep, and I'll take care of the rest."

His words showed that he believed in Alves, and before the truth came out, maintaining the unity of the team was the first priority.

After such a commotion, and after being suffocated by the stench that will never be forgotten in a lifetime, everyone couldn't sleep well, and woke up early the next morning.

Jian Le crawled out of her sleeping bag, looked around subconsciously, but didn't see Rong Hang, and was wondering, when she heard Xing Qi's cold voice: "Rong Hang and Xu Xiasheng have gone there."

Jian Le was a little embarrassed that her little thoughts were seen through, but curiosity took the lead.

"What are they doing this early in the morning?" He rubbed his shoulders, pressed the button, and put away the sleeping bag that was automatically rolled into a small ball.

Xing Qi squatted on the ground to light a fire, and glanced towards the direction of the woods when he heard this, but he didn't explain Jian Le's doubts.

When Jian Le was hesitating whether to go over to have a look, he vaguely heard footsteps, followed by Xu Xiasheng's voice: "Such a large footprint must be at least five years old."

"What is more than five years?" Jian Le went up to meet him, looking at Rong Heng.

Rong Heng nodded to him, and handed over a bunch of red fruits.

"Tsk, can you restrain yourself a little early in the morning?" Xu Xiasheng said bitterly, "Can you think about the feelings of those of us who are lonely?"
