Chapter Thirty-One Night Color First Watch, Seeking Collection, Seeking Red Tickets

  Just as Hong Lian and the old man with the surname Ming were discussing how to get rid of Qin Guang, the latter was completely unaware of this and was constantly shuttling back and forth in the mountains.

  Qin Lang and his group did not stay in the same place for long, after a brief rest they set off again. From time to time, they encountered some ordinary demon beasts, and even without Qin Lang's help, the other members of the team could kill them.

  In the mountains and forests, night falls especially early. The sun has not completely set behind the hills, but due to the density of the forest, it is already gradually falling into darkness.

  "It's dark already." Qin Lang muttered to himself as he gazed at the gradually darkening sky.

  "Yes, the forest at night is extremely dangerous. Before it's completely dark, we must find a safe campsite." Tong Gang looked around and said to everyone.

  No one had any objections to this. In terms of wilderness survival skills, Tong Gang was the strongest among everyone. The Heavenly Army had specialized training programs for wilderness survival. Moreover, at this time, Tong Gang was the captain of the small team, and his opinions were the team's guiding principle.

  "Is there a safe place in this forest?" Zhao Long asked cautiously, looking around.

  "There is no absolute safety, only relative safety. At the very least, we cannot give our enemies an opportunity to take advantage of us. We must know that some monsters' intelligence is not inferior to that of humans."

  Tong Gang answered while moving forward. At the forefront of the team, Tong Gang played the role of a pioneer.

  "Everyone, I think I've found a good place." Tong Gang excitedly pointed forward, and the crowd looked in the direction he was pointing, discovering a dark cave.

  Before entering the cave, no one dared to go in rashly.

  Huang Xiaotou looked inside and saw that the cave was pitch black, nothing could be seen. He shook his head and asked: "Is this cave safe? This shouldn't be a den of some monster, right? If we go in, won't we become dumplings?"

  Including Qin Lang, everyone was speechless, and they must have had such concerns in their hearts.

  Tong Gang burst out laughing and said, "You see, the area around this cave entrance is overgrown with weeds, and even spider webs have formed above it. This shows that no living creature has entered this cave for a long time." Everyone looked around and indeed found it to be true.

  "Does everyone feel it?" Tong Gang stood at the entrance of the cave, closed his eyes, and carefully sensed, saying: "It's wind! The wind blowing out from inside the mountain cave. This shows that this mountain cave is not a dead end, in addition to the entrance we see now, there must be other exits."

  "A deserted cave with more than one exit is indeed a good place!" Zhao Long's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed in surprise.

  Everyone had a smile on their face.

  Qin Lang also smiled, it seems that he won't have to sleep outdoors tonight, at least there's a cave. If not for Tong Gang, he might have had to settle for a big tree for the night.

  Under Tong Gang's command, the team worked in an orderly manner. Some people were responsible for scouting out the surrounding area and setting up a hidden sentry post. Others stayed behind to clean up some of the miscellaneous items inside the cave. Some people took charge of starting a fire.

  Before long, the cave was cleaned out and a roaring fire was lit at the entrance.

  The team members sat around the bonfire, took out some of the demon beasts they had hunted today from their storage bags, sorted them out, strung them on branches, and roasted them over the fire. Although these demon beasts had been dead for a long time, their meat was extremely fresh and delicious, and soon a fragrance wafted through the air.

  On the top of a large tree not far from the squad, a black shadow stared motionlessly at the crowd beside the bonfire. After a moment, this black shadow shook its head and unexpectedly pulled something out of its pocket and stuffed it into its mouth.

  One side chewed, while the other transmitted a fine hum like a mosquito: "These little rascals are too heartless, I'm the full-time guardian of you guys, you're eating fragrant roasted meat over there, but I can only gnaw on cold rice balls here. It's not fair, it's not fair."

  The man at the top of the tree was the commander of the Lonely Cloud County Heavenly Army who was guarding the safety of the team members at that moment.

  Chewed on a cold rice ball, the leader shifted his gaze away from the roasted meat on the fire pit, out of sight, out of mind. Through the gaps between the leaves, he gazed into the distance, and began to miss the warm quilt at home.

  "Something's off." The leader narrowed his eyes slightly, a glint of sharpness flashing in them. With a movement of his body, he vanished from the treetop.

  At the same time as Tong Ling disappeared, Qin Guang, who was sitting around the bonfire, seemed to have sensed something too. He looked in the direction where Tong Ling had disappeared, without saying a word.

  "Qin brother, what's wrong? Why aren't you eating?" Tong Gang took a sip of water and tore at the roasted meat in his hand with big bites.

  "Hmm, nothing." Qin Huan came back to himself, took a bite of meat and said: "I hope it's just an illusion."

  "Haha, Qin brother, with your strength, plus our team's assistance, as long as we don't go too deep into the Tian Shan mountain range, there shouldn't be too much danger. You can rest assured, after eating, you should get some rest early, I'll take the first watch tonight."

  "The team will take turns keeping watch, and in the second half of the night, Brother Zhao will lead the team on watch, so you don't have to worry about anything."

  "How can this be?" Qin Lang hurriedly said: "I am also a member of the team, how can I do nothing and rest by myself?"

  "Qin, aren't you doing enough? In our squad, your contribution is the greatest. You don't have to be modest, your task is to ensure the best state, in times of danger, we all rely on you." Tong Gang burst out laughing, and other members of the squad also laughed, it seems that this arrangement was not a sudden whim of Tong Gang's.

  Qin Lang shook his head and didn't refute it. His eyes looked in the direction he had just been looking at, still a bit restless.

  After the commander left, he rushed all the way to ten miles away in the direction of his intuition. The commander hid in a big tree, and everything in front of him almost made him panic.

  The forest in front of me kept trembling, as if a torrent was rushing over from afar at an incredible speed. Where the torrent passed, the dense forest was completely destroyed, leaving behind a bare mountain rock, as if it had been scraped out of the forest with a knife.

  And it was those countless ferocious beasts that caused all of this.

  "Beast Tide!!!!!" The leader swallowed hard, his mouth dry.

  "How can there be a beast tide at this time?" The leader looked in the direction that the beast tide was advancing, and his heart also skipped a beat. This beast tide was actually heading towards the place where Luo Yang's small team was resting. At this speed, it would take less than a minute to arrive.

  Such a beast tide was simply a disaster for that small team.

  "No way, can't let the beast tide reach there. Must lead them away" With a determined look in his heart, his eyes also gradually became sharper.

  With a grasp of both hands, a fierce and violent aura suddenly burst out, the kind of aura that can only be honed by a soldier on the battlefield.

  Leading with a majestic momentum, lightly advancing forward with a leap, both hands clenched into fists and raised above the head, like a massive mountain peak bursting forth from the earth.

  "Divine Fist, shake the mountains and earth!"

  Commander shouted loudly, and his two fists smashed down fiercely. Two yellow fist shadows the size of a human head flew out from between Commander's fists at an extremely fast speed, striking the beast tide on its flank.

  Boom!

  A wave of flesh and blood flew, several demon beasts were hit by the leader's fist, the beast tide was attacked, and suddenly became chaotic. One after another, ferocious beasts roared with anger, their eyes glowing red as they surged towards the leader.

  The monster beast charged towards him, but the leader didn't collide with it head-on. His figure flickered and he kept a distance from the beast tide, not too close or too far, occasionally turning back to punch the beast tide. This way, he led the beast tide away from its original direction.

  "The monster will always be just a monster." The leader smiled slightly and led the way further out, and this beast tide completely deviated from the route. He could also withdraw back to the squad's base camp. Those little guys couldn't be seen in his eyes, but his heart was still unsettled.

  "Hoo-hoo-hoo!"

  Just as the commander was about to retreat, a loud roar suddenly erupted from the beast tide. Under this roar, those demonic beasts that had been chasing the commander with bloodshot eyes turned a deaf ear to their own commander who was being attacked and changed direction, rushing towards the original route in a frenzy.

  Looking at the scene in front of him, Tong Leng was also stunned for a moment.

  "What's going on?"

  "You're ignoring me, huh? Watch as I annihilate all of you!" The leader was also hot-tempered and these beasts actually ignored him. The leader punched one after another, striking the beast tide.

  I don't know how many monsters were blown up, and the leader had to stop and catch his breath. Looking at the beast tide in front of him like a flood, the leader was also at a loss for what to do.

  "What's going on here?" Tong Ling calmed down and also sensed that something was off.

  "Ordinary demonic beasts can't possibly be indifferent to such an attack, could it be...?" The commander was also startled by the thought in his heart. He immediately flashed and rushed towards the garrison of the Luoyang City team at extremely high speed.

  "Damn it, these demonic beasts are being manipulated by someone." The commander cursed and accelerated to full speed.

  At this time, the personnel in the team were still completely unaware of anything and were eating meat with big mouths.

  Qin Lang really couldn't sit still, the unease in his heart growing stronger by the minute. He stood up and gazed out at the distance. The team members looked at Qin Lang's abnormal behavior, each of them exchanging glances, all sensing that something was off about him.

  "Qin brother, what's wrong?" Zhao Long walked forward and asked in a low voice.

  Tong Gang's face also turned solemn, from the beginning, he had seen that Qin Liang was different from before, this must be something happened. It's just that he hadn't noticed it yet.

  Qin Lang didn't respond to Zhao Long's words, but instead closed his eyes and carefully sensed that intense feeling of unease. Suddenly, the unease finally crossed the threshold, and Qin Lang threw the roasted meat in his hand to the ground.

  "Brothers, prepare for battle!" Qin Guang shouted loudly.
