The magic boat has remained invisible and has been traveling for several days.
Su Fan sat cross-legged on the deck of the magic boat, leaning against the side of the boat and looking down at the scenery below.
The Great Wilderness Realm is a vast area, with endless mountains everywhere, and virgin forests as far as the eye can see, covered with dense towering ancient trees.
Even the plains and hilly areas are covered by dense forests or weeds as tall as a person.
Countless wild beasts survive in such a complex terrain environment, and there are dangers hidden even in the air. Huge flying wild beasts will hide in the clouds and wait for opportunities to sneak attack their prey.
Moreover, the desolate beasts in the Great Desolate Realm have a strong sense of territory. Each fifth-level desolate beast has its own territory. Once the territory is invaded, it will summon a group of wild beasts in its territory to attack.
In order to expand their territories, the fifth-level wild beasts in each territory often fight each other.
Since humans and demons invaded the wilderness, the fifth-level wild beasts that originally fought against each other have put aside their grievances and began to join forces to resist the invasion from outside creatures.
When the human monks just occupied the base, they were counterattacked by more than a dozen fifth-level beast kings and countless desolate beasts.
If the Yuanying Demon Lord who was reinforced by Kunxutian had not arrived in time, the base might have completely fallen, and even the plane passage could not be saved.
As long as I think of countless desolate beasts dozens of meters high, roaring towards me, I can't bear to look at that scene.
The wild beast is huge in size. Although it has no magical powers or spells, its powerful body and agile speed make it difficult for all human monks.
Even in complex mountainous and dense forest terrain, these huge wild beasts still walk on the ground.
The impact of high-level wild beasts is so unreasonable that even the aura shield of the human race's defense formation can be broken through by them.
The physical defense of wild beasts is extremely high. Unless they have particularly powerful trump cards, human monks use spells, talismans, spiritual weapons, etc., it will be difficult to kill these huge wild beasts at once.
Even if several golden elixir monks besieged a fourth-level desolate beast, it would take a lot of mana and time to slowly grind it to death.
To put it bluntly, it means high defense, high health, special resistance to hits, and extremely high resistance to spells of various attributes.
If you want to say that the Desolate Beast is very powerful, that's not necessarily true.
After all, the demon monks of the human race have many methods, and even if they cannot defeat them, they can easily escape from the battlefield.
But these stupid, thick and rough beasts have been fighting fiercely with powerful human and demon monks for decades.
To this day, the human race and the demon race monks have only established a firm foothold in the wilderness, and it is difficult to continue to expand because they are really unstoppable.
Not to mention occupying the entire wilderness, it would be good to be able to defend the area under their control.
Su Fan took out a storage bag, which contained the supplies for this mission.
His eyes narrowed, his consciousness scanned, and he was stunned.
In order to complete this task, Senior Brother Daoling and Senior Sister Suyun are really willing to give up.
Among these supplies, various auxiliary materials were all third-level top-quality elixirs and talismans, and there was also a fourth-level invisibility talisman.
The effect of the fourth-level invisibility charm is incredible. It can not only hide the figure, but also block out sounds and smells.
In addition, each person is also equipped with a communication device that can be hung in the ear, so that they can communicate with each other within the team.
Su Fan had a bad feeling in his heart, feeling that this mission might not be that simple.
Love as much as you like, we are already here anyway.
Thinking of this, Su Fan closed his eyes and fell asleep after a while.
At midnight, Senior Brother Dao Ling's voice came to Su Fan's ears.
"Junior brothers, the destination of this mission is ahead, everyone, be prepared..."
After hearing his words, everyone on the magic boat became nervous and stood up from the ground.
Su Fan also stood up, lying on the side of the ship and looking at the dark night.
The monks on the magic boat all gathered together in small groups, and even the newly joined physical cultivators formed their own small circles. Su Fan was the only one who was alone.
But he didn't care, instead he thought it was good.
The demon boat traveled through the dark night, slowing down significantly, and finally landed on a slightly flat place.
Su Fan followed the others off the magic boat and gathered around Senior Brother Dao Ling.
Several disciples who practiced ghost ways and demon ways summoned ghost slaves and contracted beasts to spread out around to conduct reconnaissance and warning for the team.
"Junior brothers, we are on an expedition mission. According to reliable information, an expedition team discovered the 'Purple Hyun Gold' in a cave in the valley ahead last year. However, they encountered wild beasts nearby and failed. return……"
After everyone heard what Senior Brother Dao Ling said, their eyes suddenly lit up.
"Purple Hyun Gold" is not an ordinary tool-making material. At least in Kunxu Tian, the veins are very scarce, and the veins of "Purple Hyun Gold" will be accompanied by an extremely rare material, "Purple Hyun Fine Gold".
Even a small amount is worth a sky-high price. If it appeared on the market, it would be a treasure that even the Nascent Soul Demon Lord would be tempted by.
After Brother Daoling finished speaking, he looked at everyone.
"Although the two Nascent Soul Demon Lords guarding the base went to conduct reconnaissance, they alarmed the nearby fifth-level desolate beasts and aroused the vigilance of the surrounding fifth-level desolate beasts..."
Su Fan understood that their expedition mission this time was actually to verify whether the veins of "Purple Hyun Gold" existed.
The aura of the Nascent Soul Demon Lord is too powerful and can easily attract the attention of fifth-level desolate beasts.
Although the fifth-level desolate beast has no magical powers or spells, it is extremely sensitive to aura and can feel the presence of the human Nascent Soul even though it is thousands of miles away.
"There is a group of 'hyena-toothed beasts' entrenched around the valley ahead. The nearby mountaintop is also the lair of the 'winged wind beast'. Due to the fierce battle with the human race all year round, the wild beasts are extremely sensitive to the breath of the human monks. Everyone must be careful. Don’t disturb the wild beasts nearby.”
Before coming to the Great Wilderness, Su Fan consulted various information in detail and already knew the characteristics of various wild beasts.
"Hyaenodon" is a fourth-level wild beast that looks very similar to the Velociraptor of the previous Jurassic era, but its size is several times larger.
Even though the "Hyaenodon" is not large in size, the entire group is very large, with hundreds of them often gathering together.
"Hyaenodons" are not only extremely powerful and extremely fast, but also very ferocious in nature. Even those huge wild beasts do not dare to provoke them.
The "Wing Wind Beast" is even more difficult to deal with. It is a fourth-level flying wild beast with a wingspan of nearly ten meters and an incredibly fast diving speed. The human race suffered a lot from them back then.
The "winged wind beast" group is also very large, with more than a hundred of them often living in each nest.
Moreover, this kind of flying wild beast also has an incredible ability. Even in the dark night, these "winged wind beasts" can use ultrasonic waves to determine the location of their prey.
Both of these wild beasts are relatively difficult to deal with. Even if only one is disturbed, it will provoke a whole den. If they are in the wild, it is fine, but if they are in a cave, it will be troublesome.
Su Fan finally knew why Senior Brother Daoling and Senior Sister Suyun were seeking physical training.
Once the team is blocked in the cave and faced with the siege of hundreds of powerful "hyenas", if there is no meat shield to open the way, they will be trapped and die in the cave.
To be honest, this expedition mission is quite dangerous.
This also made Su Fan frown, suddenly feeling that the other party didn't actually give much.
Even though the wild beasts in Dahuangtian have no magical powers or spells, these stupid, stupid, wild beasts have extremely sensitive senses of smell and hearing, and can even hear and smell sounds and smells dozens of miles away.
Even the slightest disturbance can arouse their vigilance.
Moreover, the Desolate Beast also has night vision capabilities. Even in the pitch-black night, it is still like daylight. Legend has it that the Desolate Beast can also determine the target's location through the heat of human bodies.
This is so fucking incredible, it is simply the function of night vision and thermal imaging.
But it’s already here, so we can’t give up at this time.
"Among the supplies sent to you, there is a fourth-level invisibility charm. Please take it out and use it..."
After hearing what Senior Brother Dao Ling said, Su Fan smiled bitterly. In order to complete this task, Senior Brother Dao Ling also worked hard.
There are a total of more than twenty fourth-level talismans, which together cost a lot of spiritual stones.
Everyone took out a talisman from the Najie and patted it on their bodies. They saw the figures suddenly become illusory and then disappeared into the air.
"Let's go……"
Senior Brother Daoling's voice came to Su Fan's ears, and he followed the direction of his voice.
There are vast stretches of primeval forest here, with no sunlight all year round. It is extremely difficult to trek in such an environment.
Many leaves fell to the ground and slowly rotted. Many branches were buried in the rotten soil. If you were not careful, you would trip over these dead branches.
The branches and leaves in the forest are dense, some damp rotten trees are covered with dense black fungus, and many tree roots are covered with light brown moss.
Moreover, the forest land is very humid. When stepping on the soft leaf rot soil in the forest land, water seems to come out with every step, and some insects will emerge from the rotten leaves and run away.
Looking at the insects crawling into the grass, Su Fan felt a sense of alarm.
These scurrying bugs wouldn't reveal their traces, but he thought it was unlikely, so he didn't take it seriously.
The entire squad is invisible and often bumps into each other as they move.
Fortunately, after walking for a while, everyone gradually adapted to it. They tried to keep a certain distance from each other and followed the footprints left in front of them.
Su Fan was walking at the end. The area in front of him was empty, with only footprints appearing one after another, which made him feel particularly strange.
The further we go, the more traces of wild beasts there are in the dense forest.
Huge footprints, broken ancient trees, broken branches, and the howls of wild beasts could be heard from time to time, which also made everyone nervous.
Everyone walked hard in the dense forest for nearly an hour before arriving outside the valley.
"Everyone rest where you are for half an hour..."
Senior Brother Daoling's voice came to his ears again. Su Fan found a thick old tree to lean on. The disciples in the team were similar to him, because the surrounding tree trunks or branches had been pressed out.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he was lucky, and everyone's whereabouts were not discovered by the wild beasts nearby.
In fact, as long as this mission is not discovered by the wild beasts, it is basically considered to be more than half completed. Once two groups of wild beasts are alerted, it will be really troublesome.
If it's just a group of "hyenas", it's really nothing. At worst, they can retreat using flying magic weapons.
The most difficult thing to deal with is the nest of "winged wind beasts" on the nearby mountain top. Once they are alerted, no matter whether they are flying spiritual weapons or riding on a magic boat, they cannot escape the crazy pursuit of the "winged wind beasts".
When that time comes, all we can do is rush out.
But the sky is the home ground of flying wild beasts. If these "winged wind beasts" really target them, not many of the disciples in the team will be able to return.
Just die, no one is familiar with him anyway.
Su Fan was not worried at all about his own safety.
In the air, he has the invisible "Ghost Crow" as his mount, and on the ground, he can use blood escape to escape easily.
Su Fan was most worried about the cave. Once they were trapped in it, it would be the end of the world.
If the fifth-level desolate beast is lured here again, then everyone should just go to sleep.
Just dig in and bury yourself, and it will be over.
Time passed quickly, and half an hour came in the blink of an eye, and Senior Brother Dao Ling's voice came to my ears again.
"Okay, let's set off and try to enter the cave before dawn..."
Just as Su Fan was about to follow the footsteps in front of him, he suddenly turned his head and saw the branches not far away moving, as if a group of black spots scattered and flew away.
He suddenly became alert. Could it be that, as he thought, the insects in the woods would inform those wild beasts?
Although Su Fan thought this idea was nonsense, his intuition told him that his guess was right.
Su Fan's eyes narrowed, and his consciousness was completely released, spreading around.
The dense forest with a radius of several hundred feet was very quiet, not even a trace of sound or breath existed, and the roars of beasts that came from time to time just now seemed to have not been heard for a long time.
At this time, the quieter it is, the more abnormal it is.
"Senior Brother Daoling, we may have been discovered..."
"Have you discovered anything..."
Su Fan hesitated for a moment, and finally told his guess.
As a result, he was ridiculed by everyone in the team. After all, there were many ghost slaves and contracted beasts arranged around for reconnaissance and warning. Even if there was the slightest sign of trouble, they would be warned.
Su Fan also felt it was unreasonable. If there was a problem, those ghost slaves and contract beasts would have warned them long ago.
"Junior Brother Su Fan is not wrong. It is right to wake him up more. Junior Brother who practices the ghost way will release some ghost slaves and let them go as far away as possible to guard."
After listening to Senior Brother Daoling's words, I saw ghostly shadows drifting into the distance, and after a while they disappeared into the dark night.
Su Fan sighed, don't believe it if you don't believe it.
In fact, even he himself didn't believe it, but he knew that his intuition would not lie to him, and it was quite contradictory anyway.
But if he really got it right, it would be really exciting.
What surprised him was that Senior Sister Suyun, who usually found fault with him, did not mock him.
After such an episode, the team moved on.
Fortunately, what Su Fan was worried about did not happen, and the team successfully arrived at the cave in the valley before dawn.
He also breathed a sigh of relief, and finally let go of his worries.
It didn't matter that he was laughed at a few times by everyone, as long as nothing happened, it would be best. Now it seems that he is worrying too much.
Su Fan looked at the huge cave in front of him. The entrance was more than ten feet high, and the inside was pitch black and seemed very deep.
"Leave a few ghost slaves to guard outside the cave, call the rest back, and let them go deep into the cave for reconnaissance..."
After listening to Brother Daoling's words, the ghost cultivators in the team quickly recalled the ghost slaves scattered around and asked them to go deep into the cave.
After a while, the ghost slave who went deep into the cave sent back the message that everything in the cave was normal.
"Everyone remove the invisibility charm and follow me into the cave..."
As soon as Senior Brother Dao Ling finished speaking, figures suddenly appeared from the air, and then followed him into the cave.
Su Fan was still walking at the back of the team. As soon as he entered the cave, he felt a cold, whooshing wind blowing against his face.
It was pitch dark inside the cave, but to the Jindan monks, it was no different from the outside.
This is a natural cave with jagged rocks and strange stalactites piled up naturally. The passages in the cave are also twists and turns, with many forked roads.
Suddenly, Su Fan turned around and stared outside the cave.
"Senior Brother Daoling, a large number of hyenas rushed in from outside the valley and have blocked the entrance of the cave..."
A ghost monk received the warning from the ghost slave and shouted loudly.
Senior Brother Daoling's expression changed immediately, and he asked loudly: "What, you said that the wild beast blocked the cave..."
At this time, there was a sound behind them, and several contract beasts who were on guard outside also rushed into the cave. Among them, a palm-sized bird landed on its master's shoulder.
The demon monk quickly took out a pill and fed it to the bird, and then began to communicate with his contracted beast.
"Senior Brother Daoling, the 'Wind Wing Beast' on the top of the mountain has also flown down..."
Everyone fell silent after hearing what the demon monk said.
Even the most unsighted person could guess that they might have been discovered by the wild beast a long time ago.
In order to prevent them from escaping, these wild beasts have not launched an attack.
It wasn't until they entered the cave that wild beasts roared out from all directions, blocking them in the cave.
Su Fan couldn't help but sigh, but he didn't expect that he guessed it right.
This is really the end.
It seems that these stupid and crude wild beasts are not stupid at all. They are still very smart. They actually picked up the art of war later than them.
