Since the confrontation with the imperial guards in Beiyang City that night and the mystery of the haunted city was solved, the four of them stopped intervening in this matter.
Under the leadership of Jiang Biao, they complete patrol tasks inside and outside the city every day. At other times, they are immersed in practice.
Now Han Feng's Dantian is expanding day by day, and the quality and intensity of his spiritual power are increasing day and night.
In contrast, his mental progress was not smooth.
Since reaching the peak of the out-of-body realm, Han Feng's mental power has grown extremely slowly.
Even though he had taken an "immortal fruit" presented by Dugu Nianxue, after Han Feng completely refined the energy of the fruit, he did not see any increase in mental power, nor did he show any signs of breaking through the "solid acupoint realm".
…
Time passed day by day, and before they knew it, Han Feng and the others had stayed in Beiyang City for twenty days.
They gradually got used to their status as city guards, patrolling step by step every day, and their relationship with the soldiers of the 3000th House gradually became harmonious.
At the same time, their relationship with Qianhu Jiang Biao has been greatly improved.
Jiang Biao saw Han Feng and Jin Buhuan holding a cigarette in their mouths after their daily patrol. Out of curiosity, he couldn't help but ask Han Feng for one.
After smoking his first cigarette, Jiang Biao lost control and fell in love with the taste.
Since then, there has been one more person in the "Hua Zi Army".
After contacting Jiang Biao for a period of time, Han Feng also discovered that although this person had the characteristics of "lazy", "perfunctory", and "greedy for money" that many "old veterans" have, he was still relatively good to his subordinates. .
He would not bully his subordinates at will, nor deduct the salary of sergeants, which shows that this person is quite kind-hearted.
…
Han Feng originally thought that this mission would be spent so peacefully, and that the four of them would be able to return to the academy by the January deadline.
But just in the past few days, something unusual happened.
That was in the patrol area of Beiyuan Forest outside the city, and the activities of monsters suddenly became more frequent.
Although the monsters in this area were very violent and ferocious, the number of monsters was normal.
But in just a few days, the number of monsters in the patrol area increased dramatically.
When the patrol team was performing daily patrol duties, there were many incidents of sneak attacks by monsters, and several city guards even lost their lives unfortunately.
After Jiang Biao reported the matter, Beiyang City's guard "Wei Zhengping" immediately made adjustments.
The original patrol of one thousand households was changed to two patrols of thousands of households to strengthen the patrol and surveillance of Beiyuan Forest.
…
Early this morning, Han Feng and others followed the sergeants of the 3000th household and left the city under the leadership of Jiang Biao.
Along with them were soldiers from the 4000th household. The leader of the 1000th household was named "Pei Chengren". He was short, with a dark complexion and a very strong body.
Two thousand-household formations, totaling more than 200 people, came together outside the Beiyuan Forest, and everyone was a skilled detachment.
Han Feng's four people and six "hundred households" patrol the deepest area, and the rest have their own assignments.
On the way to the patrol area, Han Feng and others encountered many monsters. When these monsters saw them, they all swarmed up and attacked frantically.
Needless to say, the strength of Han Feng and the four others, and the six hundred households were all strong men who had reached the Chen level. They easily strangled these monsters.
But everyone's expressions became more solemn.
Because there are obviously more monsters in the patrol area today than yesterday.
"Damn, the number of monsters here has almost caught up with the central area of Beiyuan Forest. Why is the forest near Beiyang Pass so evil?"
Jin Buhuan wiped the monster blood stained on the sword and couldn't help mumbling.
A member of the household asked.
"Our Beiyang Pass was not like this in the past. There were not many monsters in the forest.
Somehow, a few months before you came, the monsters here became more and more violent.
Unexpectedly, the number of monsters has begun to increase now, and I don’t know what the problem is. "
Listening to the conversation between the two, Han Feng also frowned.
The situation in this forest is obviously abnormal, but the source of the problem cannot be found.
The group of people hurried forward with a slightly gloomy atmosphere, and were about to arrive at their patrol area.
Sudden.
"call out……!"
A sharp whistle sounded, and then, a rainbow light shot into the sky from the southwest and exploded in the sky.
After the light exploded, it turned into a crimson mist and dispersed, extremely eye-catching in the void.
Suddenly seeing this red mist, the expressions of Han Feng and others changed.
"Flag flare!"
Each patrol team is equipped with two signal flares. Once in danger, they can fire the flares to call for help.
In the past few days, almost every time a signal flare appeared, someone would be killed or injured.
Seeing this signal flare rising, everyone's hearts trembled.
A member of the household recognized it.
"That seems to be the patrol area of Team 6."
"Let's go and see together!"
Without any hesitation, the group immediately rushed in the direction of the signal flare.
At the same time, seeing the signal flares rising, all the teams in the patrol area were rushing towards the west.
Han Feng and others were very fast. Seeing that they were only a few miles away from the patrol area of the sixth team, they happened to meet Jiang Biao and Pei Chengren, two thousand households who were also coming here.
The two sides met each other, and without even bothering to say hello, they joined the team and rushed to the signal area.
However, before everyone could reach the signal area, a bloody figure stumbled towards them in the dense forest ahead.
"It's Yan Baihu!"
Someone recognized the identity of the other party. He was a hundred households in the sixth team of the 3000 households.
Han Feng and the others also recognized this person. Yan Baihu used to have a playful smile and a strong northern accent. He liked to joke with his soldiers and tell dirty jokes. He was very popular in the No. 3000 household.
But at this moment, Yan Baihu no longer had the smiling face of the past. His face was as white as paper, and his whole body was covered in scars.
Especially on the right chest, the three scratches were shocking. They actually tore his soft armor and muscles, faintly revealing the bones inside, and blood kept pouring out.
Jiang Biao stepped forward, supported Yan Baihu, and asked hurriedly.
"Old Yan, what happened? Where are the other brothers?"
Yan Baihu's eyes were dazed for a moment. When he saw Jiang Biao clearly, his face suddenly showed excitement. He grabbed Jiang Biao's hand with both hands and said tremblingly.
"Sir Chihu, the monster... the monster, the brothers... the brothers are all dead!"
"What!"
Hearing this, everyone was shocked. There were thirteen people in the sixth team, and only Yan Baihu was left to escape.
Jiang Biao asked in disbelief.
"What kind of monster did you encounter?"
Yan Baihu stared with frightened eyes and spoke with difficulty.
"There is... Chen... Late Chen level monster, more than one!"
"What!"
When everyone heard this, their expressions changed drastically.
You know, even in the deepest part of the patrol area, Chen-level monsters are very rare.
As for late Chen level monsters, they have never appeared before. Monsters of this level can only be encountered in the middle of the forest.
But the injuries on Yan Baihu's body and the annihilation of the sixth team showed that all this was true.
Seeing that Yan Baihu was seriously injured, Jiang Biao was about to seal the opponent's acupoints to save his life.
However, Yan Baihu's body was shaken, and a mouthful of black blood gushed out. His body fell forward stiffly, and his life was cut off.
Only then did everyone see that behind Yan Baihu, dozens of steel needle-like spikes were piercing into his body, and his internal organs were probably destroyed long ago.
"Old Yan!"
Jiang Biao couldn't help but scream in pain.
At this moment, a thunderous roar sounded in the patrol area of the six teams ahead.
The next moment, the ground shook under everyone's feet, and the vegetation in the dense forest ahead swayed wildly.
In just a blink of an eye, three behemoths rushed out of the dense forest almost at the same time and rushed towards the crowd.
