The moonlight penetrated the branches with difficulty, and the stars made the scene in the forest even more horrifying. The branches, trunks, and grass were all stained with blood, and broken limbs were everywhere.

The young man looked at the dead body in his hand with anger. He failed, and things did not go as planned again. The culprit of all this was the man in his hand, but he also paid a heavy price.

Behind the young man stood an old man with a goatee, with a kind face and an inconspicuous green light in his deep eyes, looking at the young man in front of him kindly.

"Young Master, please don't be impatient. That person is seriously injured and can't run away. After absorbing his blood, you will be able to recover and advance to level IV."

The young man threw the corpse in his hand casually after hearing the old man's words, and said:

"I will rely on you a lot in the future."

As soon as the voice fell, four figures appeared from the darkness, bowed to the two people,

"Young Master, Teacher."

The old man nodded and asked them to stand up, and they hurriedly stood behind the old man.

"Now that everyone is here, let's set off quickly."

The branches and leaves swayed, and the figures of several people moved quickly among the trees.

Outside the forest, two people covered in blood were about to escape from the dangerous place. The sudden appearance of the figure in front of them made them tremble all over. They had lost their will to fight and collapsed waiting for the arrival of death. After seeing who was coming, both of them couldn't help crying.

"Commander Zhou, you are finally here."

Zhou Yong hurried forward to support one of the people who almost fell to the ground. After learning the situation in the forest from them, he asked them not to stop and continue to retreat in the direction of the white light shield.

Entering the forest, Zhou Yong rushed along the route they escaped, and gradually some mutilated corpses appeared on both sides of the trees. These people were killed by a fatal move, and the powerful destructive power of the move directly tore people apart.

After a while, Zhou Yong stopped. At this time, he seemed to be standing at a massacre scene. The strong smell of blood filled the forest, and corpses were everywhere. Everything he saw was stained with blood.

A dried corpse not far away caught his attention. The blood and qi of this corpse were obviously drained. Zhou Yong judged from the clothes on the corpse that he should be Li Wei's adjutant.

Just as he got up, a faint voice came from the side.

Zhou Yong walked over immediately, only to see that the speaker was pale, his abdomen was pierced, and a lot of blood was flowing out of the wound. He was afraid that he would not live long.

"North... side."

After barely squeezing out these two words from his teeth, he seemed to have completed his mission, and the faint breath also dissipated.

"Don't worry, I won't leave you here."

Without much delay, Zhou Yong continued to move north. After a while, more dead bodies appeared one after another, and the wounds were basically the same as those before, but this time the bodies were changed from humans to forest wolves.

The sound of fighting came from the front, and Zhou Yong hid behind a tree to spy. The battle was coming to an end. The level III forest wolf was vulnerable in front of the young man and was still making the last struggle. At this time, a hand suddenly pulled Wu Yong aside, and turned his head to see that this person was Li Wei he was looking for.

"Let's get out of here quickly!"

Zhou Yong nodded, and helped Li Wei flee to the north.

The long-lost sunlight finally appeared and dispelled the darkness in the forest.

"Come on, run! Why are you running so slowly? Are you waiting for me?"

A gloomy voice came from behind the two men, but a figure appeared in front of them, blocking their way.

Li Wei realized that something was wrong, and said in a deep voice:

"It seems that I can't leave. I'll hold them back later. You run away quickly."

"Brother, since I'm here, I won't leave you alone here."

Zhou Yong and Li Wei stood side by side, ready to fight.

The young man looked at the two people who were ready to fight to the death, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"I hope you can hold on for a little longer, don't be like those people, who died after a slight touch, which is really disappointing." Dozens of golden lights flew out and fell around, emitting dazzling white light at the moment of contact with the real object. For a while, leaves scattered and dust flew.

The young man waved his hand, and the light scattered but soon gathered again. But the two people who were originally standing in the middle had disappeared.

"Okay, very good, try to escape, the next time we meet will be your death."

The young man was about to leave when the old man suddenly appeared in front of him. The dark red light gathered above the young man's head, followed by a violent collision sound.

The young man subconsciously dodged sideways, and a stream of light flashed in the corner of his eyes, just where he was originally. The powerful energy penetrated the ground and formed a deep pit the size of a basketball.

This attack was not only swift and silent, but also silent. The young man was completely unaware. If the old man hadn't blocked it in advance, I'm afraid he would not be able to escape.

Yu and the other three were also startled by this sudden attack. After reacting, they immediately entered a fighting state.

"That person is gone."

A female voice came from the branches.

The young man saluted the old man with lingering fear,

"Thank you for your rescue, sir."

"No need to thank me, she saved you just now."

At this point, the young man turned his head and nodded to the tree to express his gratitude.

The golden sunlight shone on the earth, and Chen Mo opened his eyes reluctantly. The white halo above his head became almost transparent in the sun. Except for the village chief who was still patrolling with a few people, no one else was walking in the village. Everyone was anxiously waiting for reinforcements from the state capital.

Looking at the time, it was already past nine o'clock. Chen Mo calculated that the reinforcements from the state capital should arrive in a while, and it would be much safer to return by then. He just didn't know where the old man had gone.

Soon, the figure of the old man appeared in front of Chen Mo. After checking the items and declining the village chief's retention, the old jeep started again and drove out of the village.

"Grandpa, wouldn't it be safer to wait for the support to arrive before leaving?"

Chen Mo was puzzled. If he encountered those beasts last night on the way, wouldn't his life be in danger?

"Boy, you are still inexperienced. From the beginning to the end, those beasts' target was not us. It would be more dangerous to follow them. Now that the things you need are in hand, why stay there."

Chen Mo suddenly realized that he had been implicated from the beginning to the end, so he should quickly stay away from that place of trouble.

"Grandpa, drive faster!"

As expected, the journey was smooth. After a few hours, they finally arrived near the camp.

As soon as Chen Mo got off the car, he saw a small figure running towards him from the entrance of the camp.

"Brother, Grandpa, you are finally back."

It was Chen Mo's sister Chen Muren who ran over. Chen Mo hugged her tightly in his arms. His sister's soft body and the faint fragrance of her hair made him feel very relaxed. The fatigue of so many days seemed to be cured at this moment.

"Brother, let's go back quickly. Qian'er is still waiting for us at home."

"Okay, let me hold you for a while and then go back."

Before Chen Mo had time to enjoy it, he was hit hard on the back of his head.

"You little bastard, hurry up and carry your things and go back."

Chen Mo felt pain and had to let go and put the luggage on his back and followed his sister home, but he kept savoring the touch of the hug just now.

"Tsk, she's a beauty, but she's not developed well. It's because the food in the camp is not good!"

In just a few days, several small houses were built in the camp. Although the area is not large, it looks like a village.

There are a lot of wood and stones piled up on the newly opened path. Several strong men are busy there. After Chen Mo greeted them, he followed Mu Ran into a newly built house.

The house has a front yard full of vegetables and fruits. There is a hall in the back house. There are three small houses on the left and right, which looks very impressive.

Entering the house, Li Qian was picking beans. Seeing Chen Mo coming in, she hurriedly got up and ran. Chen Mo felt healed again, "Strange, why is this a bit over-nourished? It seems that I have to cook some special food for Mu Ran while he is still in the development period."

"Pa", another slap. Chen Mo felt that he might have a concussion, and the scenery in front of him seemed to be spinning. After putting his luggage in the hall, Chen Mo went to his room to catch up on his sleep. After all, he had been nervous and had not rested well these days. He fell asleep in a comfortable bed in a short while.

In the hall, several people were reporting the situation to the old man.

At present, the camp has sufficient food and there is a water source nearby. However, a large number of manpower has been used for construction, resulting in a large number of guards outside the camp. In the long run, there may be safety hazards.

The old man nodded, and after discussing with several people, he decided to add a group of night watchmen at night, and let the new forces in the camp participate in patrol tasks during the day.

At this time, Chen Mo was still immersed in a beautiful dream, and had no idea what fate would greet him.

At dinner, Qian'er and Muren sat at the table. Aunt Li brought the last dish to the table, and Chen Mo came to the table. Seeing the sharp contrast between Chen Mo who was eating voraciously and his well-behaved granddaughter next to him, the old man knocked on the table with his hand, and everyone's attention was attracted.

"The camp is short of manpower recently, and I have assigned you a task."

Seeing that they didn't speak, the old man continued:

"Qian'er, Muren, you two will patrol the camp with Uncle Niu during the day, and Chen Mo, you will keep watch outside the camp with Uncle Ya at night."

After listening to the old man's words, Chen Mo felt that the food in his mouth was not fragrant. Why was he assigned to keep watch outside the village?

"Go after dinner, don't let Uncle Ya wait too long."

A series of question marks emerged in Chen Mo's mind. He had just returned, why was he assigned again? Even if he was picked up, the treatment should not be so different.

After dinner, Chen Mo said goodbye to his sister and walked out of the village alone. There was no one on the road, only the faint light was on in the newly built house.

At the head of the village, a short and thin middle-aged man in black was sitting on a tree stump waiting. Chen Mo walked by him without noticing it, and the man suddenly stood up, which really scared Chen Mo.

Uncle Ya looked at Chen Mo's funny movements without paying attention, and walked away on his own.

Not long after leaving the camp, Uncle Ya suddenly stood still, and then found a thick tree nearby and climbed up. Chen Mo had no choice but to climb up the tree.

Uncle Ya took out a pillow from his arms and chose a comfortable position to lie down. Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, and chose a place to sit down helplessly.

Time passed by, and Uncle Ya still maintained the same posture. Chen Mo felt sore all over. He never thought that he could lie on a comfortable bed this afternoon, and he would have to sleep outdoors at night.

The sound of "rustling" came into his ears, and Uncle Ya still did not respond. Chen Mo looked in the direction of the sound, and it was a hare jumping below.

"Hehe, it looks like I can give Mu Ran a snack."

Chen Mo was about to turn over, but was held down. He looked at Uncle Ya in confusion, only to see Uncle Ya shaking his head and pointing down.

The fat hare below was chewing the weeds, looking up from time to time. In a flash, a Level I beast jumped out from the side and bit off the hare's neck. After succeeding, it quickly disappeared into the forest.

A chill came over my heart. It seemed that the beast had been lying in ambush nearby. If Uncle Ya hadn't stopped it just now, it would probably be Chen Mo in its mouth now.

"Uncle Ya, how did you find it there?"

Uncle Ya touched Chen Mo's ears and pointed at Chen Mo's heart. After doing these actions, Uncle Ya lay back in the same position as before, motionless.

Chen Mo felt as if he had vaguely touched something. He closed his eyes and began to concentrate according to his inner thoughts, and used his heart to feel the sounds around him.

Nothing happened overnight. Uncle Ya put the pillow in his arms and jumped down from the tree, feeling refreshed. Chen Mo climbed down the tree groggily, his steps weak. He finally got home, ate a few mouthfuls of breakfast and went to bed, without even saying a few words to his two sisters.

This continued for several days. Whenever Chen Mo was about to break through, there was always a force suppressing him, just like a groom who was locked outside the bridal chamber and could only look at the beautiful bride through the veil. He was impatient but could do nothing.
