Chapter 168 [167] Shamelessness: Gua Gua's Performance

Black Mountain Camp.

Ordinary dormitory area.

Senior Squad Leader "Ao Feng" walked to Cheng Han's residence, knocked on the door a few times, and after confirming that no one was inside, waited patiently.

Only two minutes passed.

The sound of trampling snow suddenly came from another direction.

"Creak! Creak!"

Ao Feng's eyes narrowed.

This pace frequency was too familiar; could it be that old rival, surnamed Ling?

Sure enough.

A figure rounded the corner and appeared in his line of sight.

It was Ling Handong, the other senior squad leader who had just participated in the competition for Cheng Han.

Ao Feng's cheeks twitched, and he couldn't help but curse inwardly: "What a damn persistent ghost."

Ling Handong walked to the door and said with a smile, "Old Ao, what a coincidence!"

Ao Feng grunted, not wanting to pay attention to him.

Looking at his old rival's smiling face, he felt a strong urge to "punch him in the face until he blossomed."

What a coincidence, my ass!

Ling Handong said with a smile, "Old Ao, I knew you were an impatient person and would definitely come to guard the door. I'm more generous and won't compete with you for first place."

Ao Feng gritted his teeth and cursed inwardly: compete your ass.

If you were really generous, you wouldn't have come at all.

So hypocritical!

Ling Handong continued to babble: "Old Ao..."

Ao Feng's head ached whenever he heard the words "Old Ao," so he simply turned his head away, not wanting to look at that annoying face.

The brain-piercing voice continued to come: "I've heard a saying, 'Starting early but arriving late.'

"Even if you're the first to squat here, you may not be able to impress Cheng Han, inviting him to temporarily join your team and participate in your mission."

Ao Feng endured the annoyance in his heart and didn't want to respond at all.

Five minutes later.

The third competitor arrived.

This person was actually carrying a beautiful gift box in each hand.

Both senior squad leaders' expressions changed slightly, with contempt and annoyance in their hearts.

They were contemptuous because this guy, as a squad leader, actually took the initiative to give gifts to a level three warrior, truly shameless.

They were annoyed because the competitor brought gifts, but they didn't, wouldn't that make them seem less sincere?

Soon.

The fourth squad leader also arrived.

And also brought a gift.

The two senior squad leaders cursed together in their hearts: these two are shameless!

At this point.

The competition lineup from just now had gathered again, perfectly demonstrating what it meant to "meet everywhere in life."

The four looked at each other, all with fake smiles.

Silence in front of the door.

But undercurrents were surging.

*

Not long after.

Cheng Han rode back on his feather beast, and from a distance, he saw four "wooden stakes" propped up at the door.

He was stunned for a moment, quickly made a deduction, and couldn't help but sigh.

These people!

They really don't let people have peace!

Gua Gua was a polite feather beast, it knew these four were guests, and greeted them:

"Aaw!"

Ao Feng, as expected, was impatient and said directly, "Cheng Han, one of the warriors in my team is injured and can't go on missions recently.

"I received a mission yesterday to investigate the 'aquatic transcendent creature cannibalism incident'. I don't know if you're interested in participating?"

This guy immediately introduced the details: "Recently, civilians have frequently gone missing in 'Anhua City' in the western part of the Tai'an Small Spirit Realm.

"The local patrol department found many human remains in a city ditch, and determined that the murderer was likely an aquatic transcendent creature."

Cheng Han pondered for a moment and shook his head, politely refusing: "Sorry! Anhua City is too far away."

Ao Feng's face twitched when he heard this somewhat absurd reason.

This was naturally an excuse.

The real reason was that it didn't fit the script of "Revenge Prologue."

The three cities in the Small Spirit Realm all had Mysterious Warriors stationed there, and powerful Mysterious Arrays were also set up. The Destruction Envoy Group was unlikely to cause trouble in the city to retaliate against the Black Armor Army.

Otherwise, once the Mysterious Warrior took action, a beam of light would descend from the sky, and those participating in the action would definitely suffer heavy casualties.

These people were crazy, but that didn't mean they didn't have brains, and they wouldn't plan such a suicidal revenge operation.

Ling Handong followed closely and issued an invitation: "Cheng Han, a 'Strange Beast' has appeared in the northern suburbs of Beiting City, are you interested in participating in the hunt?"

The so-called "Strange Beast" was a wild beast occupied by strangeness.

This guy deliberately added: "Beiting City is closer to the Black Mountain Camp, and you can return as soon as possible after completing the mission."

Cheng Han still politely refused: "Sorry, it's still too far!"

Most Strange Beasts naturally harbor malice towards humans and like to slaughter humans, and usually don't stay far from cities, so it still didn't fit the script.

Ling Handong smacked his lips regretfully: "Okay! I hope we have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."

The third squad leader slightly raised the gift and smiled: "Cheng Han, I specially brought you..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the fourth squad leader.

"I received a regional patrol mission, the location is only forty kilometers away from Qinglin City, are you interested in participating?"

Cheng Han quickly interjected: "I'm very interested!"

The mission area was outside the city, which met the script requirements.

It could be confirmed that the Destruction Envoy Group had a lot of manpower in Qinglin City, and the mission area was close to Qinglin City, which made it easier for them to send people to retaliate, which met the requirements even more.

The third squad leader looked regretful.

Because this person's mission was also regional patrol, but unfortunately, he was one step slower.

The fourth squad leader smiled very happily: "Cheng Han, let me introduce myself, my name is 'Cao Hongyi', nice to meet you!"

Cheng Han's heart moved and asked: "Squad Leader 'Cao Ruifeng' of the Ninth Outpost of the Qinglin City Patrol Department, wouldn't he be..."

Cao Hongyi chuckled: "He's my cousin! Ruifeng told me all about your deeds in the patrol department."

The word "all" was deliberately emphasized.

Cheng Han suddenly understood.

The jurisdiction of the Ninth Outpost was one of the two most prosperous areas in Qinglin City, no wonder Cao Ruifeng could become the squad leader of the Ninth Outpost, it turned out there was such a relationship.

"Pa!"

Cao Hongyi patted his chest: "I know better than anyone how amazing you are. As long as you come to my team, you are the real squad leader, I'm just hanging up a title."

Cheng Han replied politely: "You're flattering me."

The other three were all thoughtful.

This guy surnamed Cao had so much confidence in Cheng Han, it seemed that the genius boy's skills were even greater than expected!

*

After entering the Black Mountain Camp, Cheng Han learned that the Black Armor Army was not only responsible for killing the strangeness in the city, but also for cleaning up the strangeness in the entire Small Spirit Realm.

Due to some unknown reason, the number of strangeness born in the wilderness was significantly less than in human gathering places, so although the Small Spirit Realm was large, the Black Armor Army could cope with it.

In addition.

It was said that the Mysterious Pavilion relied on the "Heavenly Spirit Leaf Vein" of the spirit leaf to establish a special Mysterious Array, which was equivalent to a monitoring system covering the Small Spirit Realm.

Once it was discovered that traces of strangeness appeared in a certain area, the Mysterious Pavilion would order the Black Mountain Camp to send people to clean it up, which was the origin of the regional patrol mission.

And this was the most frequent daily task of the Black Armor Army.

None other.

A quarter of an hour later.

Cheng Han met with the team and saw the other four team members.

The eyes of these four people looking at the genius boy all revealed a hint of admiration.

Cheng Han knew at a glance that Squad Leader Cao usually didn't publicize his deeds less, otherwise, everyone was a warrior, even if he was a genius, these people wouldn't all be like this.

Cao Hongyi fulfilled his promise and introduced to his subordinates: "The real squad leader is here, you don't need to listen to my fake anymore."

The other four very cooperatively asked: "Hello, Squad Leader Cheng!"

The corner of Cheng Han's mouth twitched: "You're joking!"

Cao Hongyi didn't dwell on the issue of titles and put on the airs of a younger brother: "Squad Leader Cheng..."

Cheng Han corrected: "Call me Cheng Han!"

Cao Hongyi pretended not to hear: "Do you have anything else you need to prepare? I'll go prepare it right away. I'm more familiar with this aspect than you, and it'll be faster for me to do it."

Cheng Han didn't pretend and said politely: "Please help me prepare some food for the feather beast."

Cao Hongyi was stunned for a moment: "Are you going to bring the feather beast to participate in the action?"

Cheng Han nodded: "That's right."

Cao Hongyi couldn't help but say: "The feather beast's combat power is too weak, it may be targeted by strangeness during the patrol, and taking care of the feather beast in the wild is also a troublesome thing."

Cheng Han said lightly: "My feather beast is different."

Cao Hongyi was skeptical, but he didn't insist: "Okay!"

In fact.

The reason why Cheng Han did this was that Gua Gua's ability was extraordinary and could indeed help in the wild, and secondly, this was the first act of the script.

As a playwright, since he personally took the stage as the lead actor, he naturally had to perform according to the script.

He looked at Cao Hongyi's departing back, his mind turning.

"Previously, the female regiment leader was threatened by a vice-lieutenant 'Chou Jian' and faced a life-and-death crisis. I solved this matter in the name of the Netherworld, and finally Chou Jian was ordered to be executed.

"Afterwards, Qu Xiaoying learned the news through secret channels, which was enough to prove that there was a hidden underground intelligence network in the Black Mountain Camp.

"The genius boy participating in the patrol mission with the feather beast is a very topical piece of news, and it will definitely spread like wildfire.

"If I'm not mistaken, the Destruction Envoy Group is likely to have planted dark lines in the Black Mountain Camp, and this news will definitely reach their ears.

"For these alien god believers, this is an excellent opportunity to please the gods, how could they miss it?"

The corner of Cheng Han's mouth rose slightly: "The revenge target has already appeared, dark avengers, hurry up and come!"

This strategy was very simple, it was——to use oneself as bait.

But the simpler the strategy, the more useful it often was.

*

Not long after.

Outside the gate of the Black Mountain Camp.

The whole team was ready to go.

Gua Gua was carrying a pile of heavy objects on its back, excitedly chirping non-stop.

Today's mission, its role was not as a mount, but as a pack animal carrying logistical supplies.

Cheng Han then stated the reason for bringing the feather beast: "Gua Gua has received special training, can read maps, and has a strong sense of direction, and can serve as a guide to lead the way."

The "sense of direction" in this sentence was not nonsense.

There was a special area in the feather beast's brain, which was naturally extremely sensitive to the environment and direction, so there was never a feather beast that got lost.

"Aaw!"

Gua Gua echoed.

Cao Hongyi was still somewhat skeptical, but didn't question it: "I understand."

The other four warriors glanced at Gua Gua with amazement in their eyes.

Cao Hongyi took out a high-precision map, unfolded it, and placed it in front of the feather beast: "The red line is the route I marked."

Gua Gua stared at the map without blinking, with an extremely focused expression.

After a few seconds.

Gua Gua flapped its wings and called out: "Aaw!"

It stretched out its long beak, gently touched the map, and strode out.

Cheng Han instructed: "Follow!"

He stepped on his skis, pushed off the ground with his right foot, quickly slid across the snow, and chased after Gua Gua.

The others followed.

In winter.

Wearing skis to travel was a compulsory course for every warrior.

Half an hour later.

Cao Hongyi and others were convinced.

Because Gua Gua's route had no deviation.

One warrior sighed: "If I were to lead the way, I definitely wouldn't be as accurate as Gua Gua, and I might lead everyone into the ditch."

Another warrior laughed: "Not might, but definitely, you've done it several times in the past."

After a while.

The warriors experienced another advantage of Gua Gua.

"Gua Gua, water!"

"Aaw!"

Gua Gua kept walking, twisted its bird neck back, skillfully opened the package with its beak, picked out a thermos water bottle from it, and threw it back.

"Pa!"

A hand grabbed the water bottle.

The warrior "glugged" a few mouthfuls of water, and threw the water bottle back.

Gua Gua accurately caught it and put it back in the package.

In the process, everyone didn't stop for even a second.

The benefit of this was undoubtedly that the team could go all out, without having to stop for various trivial matters, greatly speeding up the pace.

Cao Hongyi was even more convinced: "Gua Gua, you're the most awesome feather beast I've ever seen!"

"Aaw!"

The cry was full of pride.

*

Two hours later.

Cheng Han shouted: "It's almost time for lunch, let's stop and eat."

A group of people stopped immediately.

Subsequently.

Everyone experienced the third advantage of Gua Gua.

It led the way to find a wind shelter, unloaded the package itself, and then found a tree with more branches and leaves, stretched out its beak and pecked wildly, got a large pile of branches, and carried it back.

Gua Gua then got a few stones, built a stove-like shape, quickly put the branches into it, and called out to its master: "Aaw!"

Cheng Han activated the fire-type Mysterious Law characteristic, lightly brushed his right hand, and the flames immediately窜了出来.

Gua Gua quickly took out the pot and put it on top of the stove, then took out the prefabricated convenience food, tore open the package, and put it into the pot.

A group of people watched the performance of one person and one beast, each with a look of surprise.

Cheng Han smiled: "I told you a long time ago, Gua Gua is very useful!"

This feather beast had received multiple infusions of the Spirit Control Mysterious Seal, its intelligence had greatly increased, and it had learned a lot of life skills, cooking was just one of them.

Of course.

Only simple meals were allowed.

Cao Hongyi expressed his envy in a single sentence, "Where can I buy such an awesome feather beast? I'm willing to spend five hundred gold to buy one."

The others chimed in.

"I want to buy one too."

"I'd gladly spend six hundred gold."

But Guagua wasn't happy.

"Aowu!"

Its cry clearly conveyed displeasure.

Ten minutes later.

The food was cooked.

Guagua thoughtfully took out the tableware and handed it to everyone one by one.

Cao Hongyi ladled out the food, his old face beaming with smiles, "Everyone, wasn't it an extremely wise decision for me to invite Cheng Han to be the team leader?"

A group of people nodded repeatedly.

Just for this extremely worry-free lunch, it was worth it.

"Aowu!"

This was Guagua's cry.

Its meaning was: What about me!
