(PS: I saw an article last night, in which the sentence "True self-discipline comes from internal drive" made Lao Dang instantly break his guard. He was thinking about what he has been doing this year... I have stopped playing games. Everyone is welcome to supervise.

***

The thick fog covered the breath and also obscured the vision.

Lu Ze returned quietly, opened the curtain of the tent and walked inside.

The star source force field around him blended naturally with the air flow, like the spring breeze after a drizzle, blowing on his face without noticing.

Zhang Xinghuo turned over in his sleeping bag, mumbling something and chewing a few times, with a smile on his face in his sleep.

Apparently she was dreaming about delicious food and was feasting on it.

As for the Pharaoh, who was lying on his sleeping bag, he was lying on his back, drooling from the corner of his mouth, and making a rhythmic snoring sound.

Lu Ze grabbed the wave ball in a funny manner, got into the sleeping bag, closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep in just five seconds, forgetting both things and myself.

Pharaoh felt the warmth of his master's palms in a daze, so he closed his eyes and squeezed until his whole body was held in the palms, and continued to sleep soundly.

…

There was peace in the tent, but for some people in this silent night, it was not so peaceful.

In the tent under the foggy willow tree, Wu Liangha sat cross-legged. On both sides of his field of vision sat the second child with a scarred face and the tall third child.

Ever since the fourth child went out, the three of them have been sitting cross-legged in this posture, looking at each other.

For an entire hour, no one spoke.

At first, it was just a normal wait, but after an hour passed, the expressions of the second and third children changed slightly.

The look in the eldest son's one eye became more and more sinister, and sweat began to appear on the foreheads of the second and third eldest children. The silent atmosphere made their days feel like years.

Calculated based on the initial estimated distance of 3 kilometers, excluding preparation time and emergency response time, 60 minutes is the limit.

And now it’s been exactly 120 minutes!

Judging from their experience as hunters in the wilderness all year round, the fourth child most likely sent it.

But on the other hand, Lao Si's powerful night fighting ability makes it impossible for him not to be able to send out even a signal.

So the fourth child, who is between disappearance and existence, has become the reason why the three of them have been sitting quietly until now.

Wu Liangha looked at the third child, who had the most sensitive sense of smell among the team.

After catching the boss's gaze, the third child turned around and opened the tent curtain, paused halfway through, then slowly lowered it, turned around and sat down.

He raised a finger and shook his head with a dark expression.

——Upwind direction.

At night, the wind direction in the valley changed, and all the smells were blown deeper into the valley, so his sense of smell could not function at all.

Wu Liangha closed his eyes, still sitting in the cross-legged posture of Da Ma Jin Dao.

No answer is the best answer.

The second child and the third child looked at each other, took a deep breath and continued to calm down and wait.

This wait is until dawn.

…

"Ouch——"

As the fog cleared in the early morning, a wolf howled suddenly came from the distance, breaking the tranquility that had accumulated all night.

One after another, howling sounds echoed throughout the valley.

People in each tent walked out one after another, looking into the distance in surprise.

"Wolves of the Ancient Land!"

"It's not far away, are you hunting?"

"Heh, I'm afraid our first battle will be with the wolves. If Yan Mansion is willing to issue a mission, I don't mind getting two more bottles of ambergris."

Listening to the commotion around him, a warrior with a square face sneered and played with the short knife in his hand. The cold blade kept rising and falling, cutting the air and making a low whistle.

Wow.

The square-faced warrior trembled and felt the hair on his body stand on end, as if he was being targeted by a wolf. He clenched his dagger and turned around, and immediately cursed secretly in his heart.

【Damn!】

The curtain of the tent under the foggy willows was lifted, and Wu Liangha and the other three walked out in silence.

The faces of the three of them were all calm and cold, and their eyeballs were bloodshot. One can imagine how ups and downs their mental journeys were that night.

Still no one said anything, but everyone knew something had happened to the fourth child.

It is daytime now, the fog has cleared, and the Yan family guards will coordinate their actions.

I knew that the fourth child was dead, but I couldn't go looking for him. I could only wait for others to find him.

This kind of frustration makes them, who have always been arrogant, feel irritable and want to explode.

The square-faced warrior who spoke loudly just now became the target of their emotional vent.

The bloodthirsty eyes made the square-faced warrior's face gradually turn pale.

The warriors of the Yan Mansion rode around and shouted loudly: "The five-minute rest is over, let's move on."

The hunter's gaze finally shifted, and the square-faced warrior's tense nerves were finally relaxed. Only then did he realize that his back had been covered with a layer of cold sweat without realizing it, and he couldn't help but feel frightened.

Before Yan Wenchang got on his mount, he glanced in the direction of Wu Liangha, but what he saw were three indifferent glances.

【A group of lunatics】!

Feeling unhappy, he frowned and rode forward.

After the horse ran for a few steps, his brows that had just relaxed suddenly frowned again.

Something is wrong.

There are four people in Wu Liangha's team, why were there only three just now?

The one-eyed Wu Liangha, the second child with a scarred face, the tall third child...

What about the fourth child who always has a smile on his face?

When Yan Wenchang thought of this, he felt as sick as if he had eaten a fly.

Unruly and unruly, obeying the yang and disobeying the yin.

Hunters never listen to discipline, so they must have gone out when they weren't paying attention.

How could the Tantai family find such a person to be their internal agent?

This made him extremely unhappy with his strong desire for control.

【It would be better to die!】

Cursing secretly in his heart, Yan Wenchang stopped paying attention.

…

After a short rest, the large group of troops moved forward again.

The road ahead began to become rugged and the terrain became complicated. The Huanglong carriage, which could carry dozens of people, stopped moving forward and turned back.

Lu Ze walked leisurely at the end of the team. After Zhang Xinghuo drank the refreshing potion, he followed Lu Ze in a happy mood, with a smile on his round little face.

"I slept so soundly last night. I thought I wouldn't be able to sleep, but it was better than... I thought."

Zhang Xinghuo's voice suddenly got stuck, then he lowered his head and finished speaking in a low voice.

Lu Ze naturally knew the reason. Just now Zhang Xinghuo's eyes fell on the group of hunters not far away, and the tall hunter inside happened to look back.

"After all, someone is keeping watch," Lu Ze replied calmly.

The girl thought for a while, then agreed, and decided to attribute the reason for her deep sleep to the Yan family's patrol team.

Although the expedition team had a large number of people, they were all experienced warriors. They were joking while walking, but their speed did not decrease by half.

No matter how rugged the road is, or what kind of creatures emerge from the sides of the valley, each team moves in a very orderly manner, and they obviously have their own special skills.

Lu Ze nodded secretly in his heart. Wuyuan Lu's martial arts level was a level higher than that on the surface. He would definitely be a powerful new force for the upcoming tower.

In front of the tower that is about to rise, the human race has no choice but to huddle together for warmth.

At that time, all battles of will and ideas will give way in the face of human life and death.

These warriors in front of us, as well as the large number of warriors distributed in other areas of the Wuyuan Continent, will become part of the fire of hope for mankind when that day comes in the future.

Even if they have selfish motives and distracting thoughts.

In Lu Ze's opinion, this is not important. As long as they can fight for survival and increase the winning rate of the human population by even one billionth, it is enough.

While I was thinking, a rapid warning whistle suddenly sounded from ahead.

The sound was long and short, extremely sharp.
