After a while, the jungle roared, and several figures wearing short clothes and straw hats appeared in the field of vision with their hands raised.

"Hello everyone, we heard something going on here, so we came to take a look."

A young man with bronzed skin said calmly.

"Are you locals?"

Xuan Yi asked.

"Well, I live in Tiansheng Village at the foot of the mountain."

"Then have you heard that Sky Shield will send people to this area?"

Meng Chi asked.

"this……"

The young man thought.

"Sorry, the village chief did not inform us that outsiders will enter the country."

At this time, an old man held up the brim of his hat, raised his eyes and said.

"Also, Tiansheng Mountain is a sacred mountain and a forbidden area. For your safety, please do not stay here too long."

The old man added.

"Thank you for your concern, uncle. However, some of our companions have fallen into the mountains. We must rescue them."

Xuan Yi replied.

"Uh... deep in the mountains, there are monsters in the mountains..."

The young man said.

"We know that the purpose of this trip is also to destroy these monsters."

"Destroy the monsters..."

The young man's eyes lit up.

Everyone behind him was talking a lot, but the old man frowned.

"The forbidden area of ​​the sacred mountain has been inhabited by rare and exotic animals for thousands of years. They are not in conflict with us, so why bother with them? I'm afraid it will lead to greater disasters."

"This is not the case. We have received reports from more than a dozen villages within the local area that monsters on the mountains have invaded the villages, ruined the fields and harmed the villagers, so we were sent here to investigate the situation."

Xuan Yi shook his head.

"Yeah?"

The old man was thoughtful.

"I hope you can come back alive."

After he finished speaking, he took off his backpack from his body.

"There is water and dry food here for you to eat for two days, and this..."

The old man handed something into Xuan Yi's hand, especially something that looked like a compass in his hand.

"This can help you identify the direction in the forest. If you find a companion, you can go down the mountain due south."

"Thank you!"

Xuan Yi was very grateful as he watched the villagers take off the things and hand them over to his own people.

"This... is for you..."

Xuan Yi handed a dagger engraved with the Sky Shield symbol into the old man's hand.

"If we can't go back, you can use this as a voucher to contact Sky Shield, and they will send someone to help you."

"Um."

The old man nodded, held up his hat again, turned and left.

"Grandpa, I want to go with them..."

The boy suddenly shouted.

"No, there is danger in the forest."

"My uncle is right."

Xuan Yi also agreed.

"No, I'm different from them..."

The young man turned his eyes, looked at Xuan Yi and said.

After he finished speaking, his figure flickered, and four or five shadows scattered out.

"You are a superpower..."

Meng Chi said in surprise.

"This started a year ago..."

The old man stopped and said.

"Well, I understand...then just follow us."

Xuan Yi nodded and turned to the young man.

"grandfather……"

the boy shouted.

"come back earlier!"

The old man frowned, sighed slightly, and led everyone towards the forest.

————————————————————————————————

After everyone and the villagers parted ways, they headed north. The cold air around them became thicker and the mountains and forests became denser.

"Hey, kid, what's your name?"

"Sinan Shen, also, I am no longer a child. I am already sixteen years old and in high school."

"Really? You are so thin, you look like you are still in elementary school."

"Don't look at me like this, I'm very strong!"

Simon Shen walked in the middle of the team, and a series of phantoms flashed across his figure from time to time, moving away the huge rocks and broken trees blocking the road.

From time to time, there are giant birds circling in the forest, and various colorful long snakes cling to the vines and shuttle through the weird-shaped trees.

"Hehehe..."

The weird laughter sounded again, and everyone was shocked and stopped.

"Don't be afraid, everyone. This is not a monster. It is a spiritual beast called a ferret. It sounds like a baby. It sounds scary but will not hurt anyone."

Simon Shen introduced.

"Then do you know what this cry means?"

Xuan Yi asked.

"Um……"

Simon Shen stopped and listened quietly.

"It seems to be a warning of danger."

"Danger, are we?"

Meng Chi said.

"No, the ferret does not hurt people, nor is it afraid of people. Instead, it is closer to humans."

Simon Shen answered.

"So, does it mean..."

Xuan Yi was stunned.

————————————————————————————————

"ah-"

Piercing screams came from the mountain forest, and the sound of thousands of horses galloping sounded again.

But this time, there seemed to be a thunderous roar behind the screams.

"Oops! It's a violent bear!"

Simon Shen's expression changed.

"Bear bear?"

"Coming towards us this time!"

Meng Chi noticed.

"Hurry up the tree and don't make any noise!"

After Simon Shen finished speaking, he jumped up to the treetops two or three times and hid his figure in the shade.

Everyone also followed suit and climbed up nearby trees.

A moment later, a group of snow-colored ferrets ran out from the depths of the mountain forest, flashing past quickly, leaving a trail of ice-crystal-like fluff floating in the air.

"so beautiful……"

Meng Chi looked at the scene flying in the sky and couldn't help but sigh.

"Roar-"

The deafening roar instantly broke this beautiful moment.

Meng Chi lowered his head and looked at it from the corner of his eye.

In the field of vision, a giant bear five to six meters tall with a fiery red body was thrashing manically on the ground, standing up from time to time and looking at the direction of its prey.

Xuan Yi stretched out his hand and grasped the arrow, and everyone held their breath.

"嘤嘤嘤—"

Suddenly there was a faint sound behind him. He turned around and saw a young ferret the size of a milk cat lying on the treetop, trembling.

As Simon Shen said, the ferret's closeness to humans is engraved in its genes. This little guy stared at Xuan Yi with its big round eyes, looking at him curiously, and made no move to dodge or attack.

"Shh..."

Not far away, Simon Shen stretched out his finger to gesture to the little ferret.

The latter seemed to understand what he meant, and immediately put his little head obediently on the treetop without moving.

————————————————————————————————

There was silence all around. After observing for a long time, the grumpy giant bear finally became impatient and turned around and walked towards the forest.

Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.

However, at this moment, something quickly rose into the sky and made a sharp whistle.

Everyone looked up and saw the fire blooming.

The English abbreviation SGO of the Sky Shield appears in the sky.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

All over the mountains and forests, signal flares were launched one after another.
Chapter completed!
