The reconnaissance went smoothly this time. After the sun went down, under the cover of the strong wind and others, several people successfully reached their foothold today.
Everyone found a leeward, relatively low-lying and inconspicuous location nearby and began to rest. The underground situation had also been investigated by several earth dragon brothers, so it should be safe.
After traveling for a long time, both humans and elves were a little tired, so they had to take advantage of the night to replenish their energy.
"Come on, Hayate, share these with everyone." Lin Chengfeng, who was tightly wrapped in combat uniforms and camouflage, struggled to take out a large box of energy cubes from his body.
This is a concentrated energy cube specially prepared by Jiang Ming before it came out. It doesn’t have any special effects, it just can provide more energy in the same volume. Even in the ice and snow conditions like now, one cube is enough to give third-level energy. or below provides a full day's worth of consumption.
Even a fourth-level elf like Gale only needs three pills a day. The only disadvantage of this energy cube is that the utilization rate of the tree fruit is too high. The orange fruit required to make one is enough to feed Hackron, a purebred dragon elf, for a day.
He also distributed some to the earth dragon brothers who were performing reconnaissance missions underground. After all the elves were full, several members of the special team began to take out the compressed grains they had allocated and began to eat.
When performing tasks in the wild, unless they can find a safe area like a cave, the soldiers of the city guard will never light a fire easily, and sometimes they even dare not eat self-heating food.
Because drastic temperature changes in the wild may attract some exotic animals that are extremely sensitive to temperature changes, there is a certain risk of exposure.
And once humans are exposed in the wild, if they are not strong enough, the consequences can be imagined. Fortunately, human beings' current technology is enough to support them in making equipment that can maintain body temperature for a long time, and there are also hot water bottles placed inside clothes to replenish heat from time to time.
Otherwise, if they eat cold food for a long time in cold weather, even if they have spiritual energy protection, their physical condition will decline, which can sometimes be quite fatal in dangerous wilderness.
The equipment Lin Chengfeng and the others are wearing now, without being damaged by external forces, a battery weighing only 200 grams can guarantee a constant temperature life of up to 72 hours, and the outermost insulation layer can also prevent heat from leaking out. Once again It not only strengthens the thermal insulation function, but also enhances the concealment ability.
According to regulations, everyone will bring five spare batteries when they go out to perform tasks. In addition, there are specialized logistics personnel who will bring more spare batteries.
In addition, the team now has two living power generation devices, Liu Haoyun and Electric Beast. At least they are not short of electricity for the time being.
...After having a simple dinner and once again confirming that there was no danger nearby, several people quickly began to sort out the intelligence they had obtained today.
"If I'm not wrong, we should gain something if we continue walking in this direction tomorrow." As the temporary team leader, Chen Weibo pointed to the simple map drawn on the ground and said. Several other people paused after hearing this. Thinking, then nodding in unison.
Only the newcomer Lin Chengfeng was still a little confused, so he asked curiously: "Uncle Chen, how did you know?" Chen Weibo laughed when he heard this, and then looked at the others who had no intention of speaking, so he explained : "During your investigation today, did you notice that there don't seem to be too many strange beasts around here?"
"Not too much?" Lin Chengfeng was stunned for a moment,
"Uncle Chen, didn't you tell me before that with the presence of Gale and the others, ordinary beasts of average strength would not easily come to provoke us?"
"I did say that." Chen Weibo was very satisfied that Lin Chengfeng took his words to heart, and then he changed the subject: "But I want to teach you one more thing today. When you go on a mission, you are not doing math problems. Don't mechanically apply formulas. .”
"What do you mean?" Lin Chengfeng looked like he was asking for advice. Seeing this, Chen Weibo spoke slowly and said: "Indeed, it stands to reason that with the ice and snow now, there would be fewer alien beasts coming out to move around. In addition, there is a strong wind, so it is normal that no alien beasts would dare to come and provoke them."
"But!" Chen Weibo suddenly emphasized his tone at this time,
"We can understand that low-level alien beasts are hiding, but what about mid-level alien beasts?" Chen Weibo looked into Lin Chengfeng's eyes calmly, and the other party suddenly realized: "I know!" Then, under Chen Weibo's encouraging eyes, Lin Chengfeng solemnly He said two words: "Territory!"
"According to the book, every fourth-level or above alien beast in the wild will have its own territory, which is absolutely inviolable to them. Although the weather is cold now, Gale's team doesn't look easy to mess with. But when passing through their territory, the necessary oath of sovereignty is still required, otherwise they are likely to be treated as soft persimmons." Lin Chengfeng became more confident as he spoke, and the tension in his tone gradually disappeared.
"According to the markings on the map, we should have passed through the territory of five intermediate-level alien beasts today, but we did not receive a single warning." Following this, Lin Chengfeng drew two circles on the simple map on the ground: "If I remember correctly, these two places are the territory of the fourth-level torrent tree frog king and the fifth-level heavy-clawed bear. Although they are already intermediate-level alien beasts, they still retain the habit of hibernating. So it’s pretty normal that he didn’t show up.”
"Then this place." Lin Chengfeng drew a circle next to the heavy-clawed bear's territory.
"The lord here is a fourth-level plant-like beast named Purple Laurel. He has a gentle temperament and is normal if he doesn't move." After analyzing this and seeing that the other people still had no emotional fluctuations in their expressions, Lin Chengfeng could only continue: "Finally, there are the fourth-level alien beasts, the Wind Wolf King, which is adjacent to the purple-striped laurel, and the fourth-level alien beasts, the Tusk Wild Boar King, here."
"These two are a group of kings and strange beasts of the same kind under their command. If they find out that Gale is leading a team passing by their territory, they will definitely give a warning even if they don't come to fight."
"However, not only did we not receive a warning today, we did not even see a wind wolf or a tusk boar." At the end of the sentence, Lin Chengfeng felt that his whole body was enlightened, and he concluded: "So, these two There must be something wrong with the tribe!”
"Well, not bad, not bad." Chen Weibo nodded with satisfaction, showing a teachable look.
"You can do this for the first time on a mission. Xiaofeng, you are very good." However, before Lin Chengfeng could be happy, Chen Weibo added: "There is just a little missing."
