Ling Yun and Ren Yao got off the roof, stepped forward and said to Shen Tinglan: "Let's deal with the cursed spirits in the area first. The shadow owl has been killed by Ren Yao. The enemy should not go there in a short time. Here it comes.”

"He's right. Park Minjun's ability can release up to five shadow owls at a time. These puppets themselves have no attack power, but the detection range is very large, about ten kilometers. I haven't encountered any enemies since entering the dungeon. It’s enough to show how far apart other teams are from us.”

Lin Yuanqi took out his notebook from his pocket, flipped through a few pages and looked at the contents on it and said quickly.

Zhao Sicheng wanted to go over and see what else was recorded in the other party's "worth thousands of gold" information library, but he was mercilessly avoided.

"The opponent's actions just now should be a test. Our killing of Shadow Owl is a warning, and it also proves that this team is not a vegetarian. There are four teams entering the dungeon this time. As long as one of the puppets can return to him safely, If it is in our hands, then the primary target of District 5 is not us." Shen Tinglan said thoughtfully.

"Sister Su, did you say the curse spirit is in the village?" Tang Yao looked at Su Li beside her.

"There are very few traces of cursed spirits in the village. If monsters were really raging, the farmers and streets would definitely not be so clean. So I don't think the cursed spirits are the main reason for the disappearance of the villagers."

Su Li made a judgment: "Before entering the village, I observed the nearby terrain: the gate of the village is located in the south, which is the direction we came from. It is surrounded by mountains on all sides, with a dense forest on the east and west sides, and a dense forest on the north. Go deeper into the mountains. If the curse spirit is some kind of hyena-like creature, it will most likely be more active in the mountains to the north."

"Let's go then. I want to see what it is that left the claw marks on the wall of the yard."

Zhao Sicheng rolled up his sleeves and started making a bet with Lin Yuanqi on the way to the mountain on what level of monster the cursed spirit was.

"You reacted very quickly just now. If you just let that shadow owl slip away, you would be in big trouble." Shen Tinglan walked behind the team and patted Ling Yun's shoulder gently.

"It's Ren Yao's ability that works best." Ling Yun glanced at Shen Tinglan and immediately added: "Of course, you are not bad either. But I was afraid that you would lose control, so I didn't take you with me right away..."

"It doesn't matter, I understand what you mean." Shen Tinglan smiled and said: "Don't worry, I am already very confident in the use of my abilities. If necessary, I will show you my skills."

"Then I'll just wait and win." Ling Yun saw the assurance on Shen Tinglan's face, and he felt a bit of anticipation in his heart. After all, from the beginning to now, he had never seen Shen Tinglan perform with his own eyes. What about ability?

at the same time--

In a dense forest to the west ten kilometers away from the village where Ling Yun and others are located.

The light in the forest is dark, and the straight and tall trees block most of the sunlight. Only the scattered and sparse light shines through the branches and leaves of the trees.

The mountain wind whistled in the forest, making huge and slow rustling sounds.

The dense forest was filled with erratic mist, but it was surprisingly quiet, as if no living creature had ever set foot in this place.

At this moment, a brown-haired young man in his late thirties closed his eyes tightly and sat cross-legged on a stone covered with green moss.

The young man didn't seem to be meditating. Even through his eyelids, you could see his eyeballs moving rapidly. Not only that, beads of sweat gradually formed on his forehead.

The young man was wearing a black reinforced suit, and his backpack was placed at his feet; at the same time, there were three men and three women guarding the young man.

Suddenly, the young man opened his eyes and murmured: "The auras of the Shadow Owls I sent to detect the east and south directions have disappeared."

"Minjun, are you okay?" A handsome girl with a high ponytail walked up, took out a handkerchief from her coat, and handed it to the other person.

The young man nodded and took it, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a frown: "We lost two shadow owls in a row, which is a bit of a loss. But it's okay, the impact is not big."

"It seems that this time the opponent is stronger than last time."

Next to the young man, a muscular man crackled his joints and showed an unknown smile: "It's good to be able to track a team. I guess they must have a lot of resources there."

"I have used Shadow Owl to mark the location of the prey, and the other party has not noticed it yet."

The young man who spoke was Park Minjun whom Lin Yuanqi mentioned before. He stood up from the stone, pointed in the south direction, and turned his eyes to a middle-aged man: "Their current location is two meters away from us.

Ten kilometers away, near a ruined temple deep in the mountains to the north. Captain, what should we do next?"

"Continue to keep an eye on the target and ensure their position. When the time is right, Xiuna, you take Taewoo and Soyeon and go there first." The speaker was a burly man in his forties.

"Understood, captain." The woman named Liu Xiuna has neat short hair. She has a tall and straight posture, a solemn expression, and there is no trace of feminine delicateness in her body.

The man whom Yoo Soo Na and Park Min Joon called the captain wore a camouflage uniform with army green trousers and thick-soled boots. He was equipped with two Mad Dog ATAK advanced tactical assault knives and K1A assault rifles on his waist. He was not like the others.

Then choose the enhanced server.

There was a strong sense of oppression all over his body, and just one glance was enough to be intimidated by his majesty.

This person's name is Zhao Zhengxun. Before entering space, Zhao Zhengxun served as a captain of the 707th Battalion directly under the Special Warfare Command of the Republic of Korea. He was also the leader of the 707th Special Mission Operations Group "White Tiger".

During the mission a year ago, all members of the 707 Special Forces were annihilated. After his resurrection, Zhao Zhengxun became a player. With his rich combat experience and his own abilities, Zhao Zhengxun's name is unparalleled in the fifth area.

I don't know.

He is very powerful, and the members of the team were carefully selected and trained by him. In the last treasure hunt game, Zhao Zhengxun led the team to kill nearly half of the contestants, and won the A-level rating in one fell swoop. It can be said that

Returned fully loaded.

But this time, with the same ambition, in addition to Curse Spirit, his target naturally also included other competing teams.

"Everyone: Try to clear out the cursed spirits in this forest before dark. After collecting the gems here, once the restrictions are lifted, immediately launch a surprise attack on the team on the top of the mountain." Zhao Zhengxun waved his hand and said in a deep voice.

.

"Yes! Captain!" As soon as he finished speaking, the other five people, including Park Minjun, straightened their backs and responded in unison.

"Captain, two thousand meters away in the northwest, Shadow Owl has detected traces of curse spirits. The number of curse spirits nearby should be...ten. Among them are one A-level and two B-level." After Park Minjun finished speaking, , everyone immediately picked up the backpacks on the ground.

"Swift victory."

Zhao Zhengxun took a step forward, and the other members followed him closely. The group of seven people quickly moved deeper into the dense forest.

At the same time, after Ling Yun and others' team walked out of the village, they found traces of the cursed spirit near a long-dried river bed at the foot of the mountain to the north.

At the front of the team, Su Li, Lin Yuanqi and others were tracing the footprints of the curse spirit to determine its movement trajectory. After walking smoothly, Ling Yun suddenly realized that he had stepped on something.

He looked down and found a strange-shaped stone. There were patterns carved on the stone, and it didn't look like it had grown naturally.

"There is a damaged shrine here." Shen Tinglan pointed to the roadside.

As he was talking, Su Li in front of him seemed to have noticed something and called out Shen Tinglan's name.

After hearing someone calling him, Shen Tinglan responded and quickly followed.

On the other side, Ling Yun walked to the shrine. A stone statue enshrined in the shrine had been damaged, probably due to years of exposure to wind and sun, so much that his face could barely be seen clearly.

Judging from the traces, the shrine must have been destroyed recently: the raised eaves were broken into two sections, and even the statues inside were not spared and were torn into pieces.

The stone he stepped on just now was an arm of the statue.

"Nothing is taboo, nothing is taboo."

The superstitious Ling Yun put his hands together and bowed, muttered a few words softly, immediately picked up the stone and put it back near the shrine.

Before leaving, Ling Yun couldn't help but turn around and take a look.

For some reason, when he was placing the stones just now, he felt a strange wind blowing in his ears, mixed with faint sounds.

"Brother Ling, what's wrong?" Tang Yao turned around and saw that the other party was still standing there, so she couldn't help but urge her: "Hurry up and leave. Sister Su and the others, don't fall behind."
