I rely on you all to cultivate

Chapter 40 The real danger

Its daybreak.

Xu Ling climbed out of the tent, shook his head, and regained consciousness.

Warriors are different from ordinary people, even if they sleep less for a period of time, it will not affect their mental state, as long as it is not like this every day.

Soon, the bags were packed, and everyone set off again

The team expects the hunting time to be three days. If the efficiency of the first day is used, they should be able to earn 10,000+ in the end. For professional crystal diggers like Meng Fei, this is enough for a one-time harvest.

But Xu Ling was not satisfied, 10,000+ he could get [-] to [-] at most, which was far from enough to buy exercises.

At this moment, he was thinking in his heart, now that he has experience, can he come out alone again, without going so deep, find some first-order monsters and kill them, and the gains are all his own.

Xu Ling seems to regard this team action as a teaching. In the long run, the benefits shared are worthwhile. After all, these experiences cannot be learned even if they have money.

Along the way, under the hint of someone without a trace, the team always took the safest route, encountered a few small groups of monsters, and after they were successfully dealt with, they reaped [-] to [-] worth of overflowing magic crystals.

Meng Fei held Xu Ling's shoulder and said happily: "Brother Xiao Ling, do you consider coming to the border for long-term development?"

He still believed that the team was just lucky, and attributed it to Xu Ling.

Zhu Huan said dissatisfiedly to him: "Don't delay him, he has a force index of 1.35 at a young age. At our age, it is not impossible to break through 3.0. Why do we have to rely on the sky like us?"

Although Meng Fei is the captain, he still can't afford to offend this woman, and said in a sarcastic manner, "I was just joking."

Just as she was talking, Zhu Taran suddenly stopped in her tracks, restrained her usual frivolous expression, and appeared extremely serious.

"what happened?"

Meng Fei asked, after two days and one night of getting along, he has built trust in the men in this team who are comparable in strength to him.

Zhu Taran frowned, his eyes flickered, as if hesitating for something, finally took a deep breath and said, "Can you wait for me, I want to take a shit."

Everyone: "..."

Zhu Huan waved impatiently: "Hurry up, hurry up, don't you bother to poop every day?"

Zhu Taran chuckled, and got into the nearby grove.

The rest sat down on the spot to recover their strength.

"Xiao Ling, are you tired? Do you want to rest for a while?" Zhu Huan asked considerately. After two days of trekking, she was worried that Xu Ling, who had the lowest force index, would not be able to bear it.

"It's okay, Miss Huan, I'm not tired." Xu Ling could only reply cooperatively.

Xiao Jia drank some water and took the time to continue: "Your force index is not high, but your physique is not bad. I feel that although your index is only 1.35, your actual combat strength should be around 1.5."

Among these people with low military power, it is a consensus that the stronger the body, the stronger the strength. After all, they only earn money to live, and they don't have much money to learn exercises. The usefulness of indicators such as mental strength cannot be fully utilized.

The only person who has learned the exercises is Zhu Taran, but he lost contact with him in the grove.

"Ah, it's alright."

Xu Ling responded casually, that he was actually the most physically fit of the few people present, and the others were not tired, so it was even more impossible for him to feel anything.

Zhu Huan smiled, peeled a fruit with a knife and handed it over. It was picked on the side of the road before. Identifying what is edible is an essential skill for crystal seekers.

Xu Ling thanked, took it and bit it down, the juice overflowing.

"Sweet?"

"sweet."

Sweet things can make people feel happy, Xu Ling is very happy at this time, he has always been the elder brother at home, giving way to Xiao Yu everywhere, and being taken care of by the big sister at this time seems to be pretty good.

He raised his head, looked at Zhu Huan, and wanted to thank him again, but suddenly his face changed drastically, and he shouted: "Be careful!!!"

Then he gave her a quick push.

Bang! !

The black shadow came suddenly, with his hands clenched tightly, a cannon hammer hit Zhu Huan where he was standing just now.

……

In the grove, Zhu Taran let out a sigh of relief.

"Anyway, that kid's character is good. Judging from his muscles and bones, his physique seems to be very strong at this stage. Maybe he can really pass the line. Hey, I didn't expect to be lazy and get unexpected rewards."

Zhu Taran muttered while pulling up her pants.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, his expression froze.

"Sneaking, damn it, I haven't come out for a long time, I'm careless."

Before he finished speaking, his figure suddenly disappeared in place.

……

With the help of Xu Ling, Zhu Huan narrowly escaped the attack, but she had been struggling at the border for many years, so she reacted quickly and immediately followed the charge to distance herself.

"Draw the knife!"

Meng Fei roared angrily, and everyone quickly held the combat dagger in their hands.

Unaware of the situation, Xu Ling took a few steps back cautiously, keeping a certain distance from the attacker. Only then did he see clearly that the sneak attack was obviously a monster, with brown fluff all over his body, humanoid, but taller than ordinary adult men. Thinner, with a curving tail on the buttocks, looks powerful.

"It's the Shulker Ape, fuck me." Meng Fei cursed bitterly.

This is a second-order monkey-like monster, born with the ability to sneak, and is extremely good at hiding its aura, which is why it can approach and sneak attack without everyone noticing.

Everyone's faces were ugly, not because the opponent was a Tier [-] monster, but because the monster's intelligence was very high. Some scholars even found a small settlement of shulker apes, which proved that they had established some kind of complex The social relationship is a precursor to the rise of the Planet of the Apes.

Therefore, experienced crystal diggers immediately realized that since there was a shulker ape here, it meant that there would be a second, third, or even a large group nearby.

For the average crystal seeker team, this is tantamount to a catastrophe.

Sure enough, on the tree where the first ape appeared, everyone saw two more, three against five, and the two confronted each other without moving for a while.

"Damn it, the person surnamed Zhu is not here at this time." Zhu Huan's eyes were fixed on the enemy, the enemy monkey.

"Don't panic, maybe this is a scouting team, if there are only three, we don't have a chance."

Meng Fei encouraged his teammates, and then gave instructions, "Xiao Jia and Xiao B, you should cooperate, Zhu Huan, you don't have to attack, and you are responsible for protecting Xu Ling. I will find a way to drag Zhu Taran back."

The second-order shulker apes were no more dangerous than yesterday's crawlers. If Xu Ling didn't make a move, the other people's configuration should not be able to handle it.

So at this time, he couldn't care about anything else, he just placed the dagger horizontally in front of his chest. This is the defensive posture taught in the martial arts school. He said in a deep voice, "I can handle one, don't worry about Miss Huan."

Zhu Huan fixed his eyes on the latent image ape, but said to Xu Ling: "Stop talking big, back up, and leave it to me."

"No, I concealed the real force index, which is actually more than 1.35."

Zhu Huan clicked his tongue: "Now is not the time to be a hero, I tell you to retreat, don't hold me back."

Xu Ling wanted to explain, but saw the latent ape move suddenly.

"Ow—"

It was obviously a monkey, but what came out of its mouth was the roar of a tiger, and the three magical beasts instantly turned into afterimages and jumped up.

"on!"

As the captain, Meng Fei couldn't control so much, he called the team to meet the enemy.

But before the battle even started, the situation took a turn for the worse.

The fourth shulker ape suddenly jumped out of the shadows, and unexpectedly used a flying kick like a human, hitting Xiaoyi's back.
