Awaken SSS-level talents at the beginning of Beast Control - Chapter 56

c56 come down

Not sure how long it had passed, Jiang Feng vaguely heard a noise outside the tent, so when he woke up he looked at the time on his phone and found that it would be time for him to keep vigil in a while.

Jiang Feng thought that Li Xiaoyue wanted to wake him up in advance, but after thinking about it, he thought this was unlikely because Li Xiaoyue had always been the most punctual.

Next, Jiang Feng stared at the roof of the tent for a while. Feeling that the surrounding temperature had dropped for some reason, he decided to go out and take a look at the situation outside the tent. What if Li Xiaoyue needed help?

However, when Jiang Feng left the tent, he found that the campsite had been shrouded in fog.

Jiang Feng had been sleeping in the tent before, so he didn’t notice this situation.

Now that he had left the tent, he felt the humidity around him.

Jiang Feng remembered Zeng Zhenghao saying that there are two types of fog in the misty forest.

One is a white ordinary mist, and the other is a toxic mist mixed with other colors.

The former will only affect people’s vision, while the latter cannot be resisted for a long time even by lord-level beast masters.

It was obvious that the fog that now enveloped the campsite was harmless.

It is normal to encounter heavy fog in the misty forest, but then again, where is Li Xiaoyue?

Jiang Feng only saw the Blood Claw Storm Bear sitting not far away, but Li Xiaoyue and Tie Yuniao were not here.

Seeing Jiang Feng approaching, the Bloodclaw Bear showed an honest smile to him.

Jiang Feng asked the Bloodclaw Bear: “Where is your master?”

The Bloodclaw Bear couldn’t speak human words yet, so it made a few gestures to Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng didn’t quite understand what the Blood Claw Bear meant, but he could probably tell where Li Xiaoyue had gone.

Just in case, Jiang Feng went over to take a look.

Since Li Xiaoyue left with Tie Yuniao, it meant that she had discovered something.

However, as soon as Jiang Feng walked out of the camp, he heard a scream not far away.

Jiang Feng did not return to the camp and tell Zeng Zhenghao and others about the situation. Instead, he ran as fast as possible in the direction of the sound.

Does this scream belong to Li Xiaoyue?

Jiang Feng wasn’t sure.

He had read some information, which said that some phantom beasts could make sounds similar to humans, which led to many inexperienced beast masters being attacked and injured without knowing it.

But so what?

Since Li Xiaoyue may be in danger, Jiang Feng has no reason to sit idly by.

Soon, Jiang Feng came to the place where the scream came from.

A black shadow flashed across the sky.

Jiang Feng looked up and saw that it was an iron-feathered bird.

At first, Tie Yuniao heard sounds coming from around him and thought he was going to be attacked by an enemy. Unexpectedly, it was Jiang Feng who came out of the thick fog.

But since the person coming is Jiang Feng, it will be easier to handle.

The iron-feathered bird called twice to Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng saw Tie Yuniao’s anxious look and guessed that Li Xiaoyue might have encountered some trouble, so he hurriedly followed.

Next, the iron-feathered bird guided Jiang Feng to a tree.

“kindness?”

Jiang Feng found a small hole in the ground.

He squatted down and examined the soil around the hole. If his judgment was correct, the hole should have collapsed not long ago.

Although Jiang Feng couldn’t understand the cry of the iron-feathered bird, he guessed that Li Xiaoyue had fallen into the hole.

It’s just that the entrance to the cave is too small, and the iron-feathered bird cannot fly down to find Li Xiaoyue.

“I don’t know if the Phantom Beast did it.”

Jiang Feng frowned slightly.

Just because there are no other phantom beasts around does not mean that this matter has nothing to do with phantom beasts.

As for why Li Xiaoyue didn’t take back the iron feather bird?

Maybe the accident happened so suddenly that Li Xiaoyue didn’t have time to take back the iron feather bird.

Perhaps Li Xiaoyue deliberately did not take back the iron feather bird in order to let it tell others about it.

But no matter what the reason is, Jiang Feng must find Li Xiaoyue as soon as possible.

So Jiang Feng pointed to the camp, and then said to Tie Yuniao: “Hurry up and tell others about this, and I will go down to find your master.”

After saying that, regardless of whether Tie Yuniao understood or not, Jiang Feng jumped directly into the cave entrance.

Under normal circumstances, Jiang Feng should wait for Zeng Zhenghao and others to come over and then discuss countermeasures.

But time waits for no one, and now there is no contract beast around Li Xiaoyue. Jiang Feng is worried that she is in danger, so the top priority is to find her as soon as possible.

The iron-feathered bird was surprised to see Jiang Feng jump into the hole, but Jiang Feng made it feel a lot more at ease. If the hole hadn’t been too small, it would have flown down to save Li Xiaoyue.

Next, the iron-feathered bird flew decisively towards the campsite. It must tell others about this as soon as possible.

After Jiang Feng jumped into the hole, his body began to slide down, but he was not surprised at all by this situation. If it was only a few meters above the ground, then Li Xiaoyue would definitely be able to sense that he had arrived.

After sliding down for a while, Jiang Feng finally landed. As soon as he landed, he saw Li Xiaoyue standing not far away, holding a dagger and a flashlight, with a slightly nervous expression.

When going out on missions, Li Xiaoyue always keeps a dagger and flashlight close to her body to prevent accidents.

In order to ease the tense atmosphere, Jiang Feng smiled and said: “Senior sister, although I am not the kind of handsome guy who is as bright as the stars in the night sky, I think he is not bad looking. We haven’t seen each other for only a few hours. You won’t You won’t recognize me so soon, will you?”

Hearing what Jiang Feng said, Li Xiaoyue laughed out loud. She put away the dagger and said to Jiang Feng, “I didn’t expect you to be so narcissistic.”

“Just telling the truth.”

Jiang Feng shrugged his shoulders and walked towards Li Xiaoyue.

“By the way, why are you here?”

Li Xiaoyue raised the flashlight and shined a light on the hole above.

To be honest, she didn’t expect Jiang Feng to show up here.

Jiang Feng replied: “I just met the iron-feathered bird above. I think it meant that you fell.”

“So you came down here to find me?”

Jiang Feng nodded and said, “Yes, your contracted beasts are not around. I’m worried that you are in danger.”

Hearing Jiang Feng’s answer, Li Xiaoyue didn’t know what to say for a while.

There is no doubt that Jiang Feng’s behavior of jumping down was reckless, but when he thought of Jiang Feng’s reason for jumping down, Li Xiaoyue was very moved.

Companion is more than just a title. A true companion is someone who can be trusted to support and fight side by side when encountering danger, or is the person you most want to see first after encountering danger.

For Li Xiaoyue, Jiang Feng at this time was the companion of her dreams, because when Jiang Feng thought she might be in danger, he jumped down to help without hesitation, something that ordinary people would never be able to do.

Seeing that Li Xiaoyue didn’t speak, Jiang Feng raised his hand and waved it in front of Li Xiaoyue’s eyes: “Senior, were you injured when you fell?”

Li Xiaoyue said angrily: “You were just injured. I was just thinking about how to thank you.”

“No need to thank you. We are companions. If you need help, I am obligated.”

Although Jiang Feng is not the kind of person who cares about the world, as long as it is within his ability, he will generally not shirk it.

Li Xiaoyue nodded slightly, she remembered this favor.

If there is a chance in the future, she will definitely return this favor to Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng used his insight skills to observe the surroundings and confirmed that there were no hidden phantom beasts, and then asked Li Xiaoyue: “By the way, senior sister, why are you here?”

Of course, Jiang Feng didn’t have to be cautious. After all, Li Xiaoyue had been sliding down for a while. If there were really magical beasts hiding here, maybe Li Xiaoyue would have been attacked long ago.

Li Xiaoyue said: “When you got up, you saw fog around you, right?”

Jiang Feng nodded and said: “I see, it’s true that this place is called the Mist Forest. With such a heavy fog, if you are not familiar with the surrounding terrain and your electronic equipment is interfered with, it will be difficult to leave here.”

“You’re right. It’s normal to encounter heavy fog in the misty forest. As long as it’s not the kind of poisonous fog, it doesn’t matter. But…” Li Xiaoyue changed the subject and continued: “Not long after, I got up to move around. At that time, I vaguely heard a sound coming from a distance, and my first reaction at that time was that there might be a fantasy beast nearby.”

Jiang Feng said: “The fog is so heavy, it’s normal for phantom beasts to pass by the campsite.”

Generally speaking, unless they are very ferocious phantom beasts, most phantom beasts will choose to go around when they see human activities in a place.

On the contrary, the same is true for humans.

Needless killing is best avoided as much as possible.

Li Xiaoyue said: “You are right, but I am worried that there will be some evil phantom beast approaching. If it is a phantom beast, it is okay. If we encounter a group of phantom beasts, then our lives may be in danger.”

“Indeed.”

Jiang Feng nodded slightly.

With their current strength, if they encounter a group of phantom beasts in the misty forest, all they can do is retreat as soon as possible.

“Originally, I wanted to tell you about this to prepare you mentally, but I was worried that my judgment would be wrong and delay your rest, so I decided to go over and confirm the situation first.”

Jiang Feng said: “No wonder I only saw the bloody claw bear when I walked out of the tent.”

Although the level of the Blood Claw Violent Bear is not high, it is more than enough if it is just allowed to guard the camp and warn Zeng Zhenghao and others in time when it discovers the invasion of fantasy beasts.

Li Xiaoyue said to Jiang Feng again: “You should be able to guess what happened next. Not only did I fail to find the source of the sound, I missed the point and fell here.”

Jiang Feng took out the flashlight from the space ring, looked around, and then asked Li Xiaoyue: “Senior, do you know where this place is?”

Li Xiaoyue said: “It seems that this should be a naturally formed cave. Maybe we can find an exit not far from here. Of course, this is just my guess.”

As the saying goes, if there is no hope, there will be no disappointment.

Although Li Xiaoyue is not a person who gives up easily, she believes that sometimes it is necessary to be mentally prepared in advance, otherwise the failure will have a huge impact on morale.

“I know.”

Jiang Feng nodded slightly.

The cave they are in now is indeed safe, but who knows if there will be danger on the other side of the passage?

Compared to the moonlit forest, this pitch-black cave looked very scary.

“Senior, there is only one passage here, should we go in and take a look?”

“We don’t seem to have any other choice.”

Li Xiaoyue’s tone was slightly helpless.

Although the situation ahead is unknown, they cannot stay here forever.

“That’s true.”

In fact, Jiang Feng already had the answer in his heart, but he had to respect Li Xiaoyue’s ideas.

At this moment, intermittent sounds suddenly came from the intercom hanging on Jiang Feng’s waist.

Jiang Feng recognized Zeng Zhenghao’s voice.

Fortunately, this walkie-talkie was strong enough, otherwise Jiang Feng would not be able to contact Zeng Zhenghao.

Although there was interference in the signal, Jiang Feng still understood what Zeng Zhenghao meant.

To put it simply, Zeng Zhenghao, Wang Yuanhang and Bi Hongcheng are all at the entrance of the cave now.

Although the phantom beasts of different races have different languages, the Heavy Fist Angry Ape still understood the general situation based on the description of the Iron Feather Bird, and then it told Zeng Zhenghao that Li Xiaoyue accidentally fell into the hole, while Jiang Feng He jumped down on his own initiative.

Li Xiaoyue accidentally fell into the cave, which Zeng Zhenghao didn’t expect, but what made him even more unexpected was that Jiang Feng actually jumped into the cave to look for Li Xiaoyue. This courage really impressed Zeng Zhenghao.

There is also the friendship between Jiang Feng and Li Xiaoyue. Needless to say those who are not familiar with each other, Zeng Zhenghao believes that even good friends may not be able to be as decisive as Jiang Feng in looking for Li Xiaoyue.

After Zeng Zhenghao finished speaking, Jiang Feng told him through the intercom: “Brother Zeng, we are all fine, but we can no longer return from the original route.”

After hearing Jiang Feng’s reply, Zeng Zhenghao and others finally felt relieved.

Zeng Zhenghao said to Jiang Feng again: “As long as you are fine, what is going on below?”

Jiang Feng said: “There is a natural cave down there. The space is quite large. We plan to enter the passage to find a way out.”

“Find a way out? Do you want to act now?”

Of course Zeng Zhenghao knew that Jiang Feng and Li Xiaoyue made the right choice, but Li Xiaoyue did not have a contract beast with her, and Jiang Feng’s contract beast had not yet reached the elite level. Zeng Zhenghao was worried that it would be dangerous for them to act rashly.

Jiang Feng replied: “Yes.”

Zeng Zhenghao thought for a moment: “Don’t act in a hurry. I want to discuss something with Yuanhang and Ah Cheng.”

“good.”

Although Jiang Feng didn’t know what Zeng Zhenghao wanted to discuss with Wang Yuanhang and Bi Hongcheng, he decided to give Zeng Zhenghao some time.

While waiting for Zeng Zhenghao to send back the message, Jiang Feng took out an outdoor glow stick from the space ring.

Leaving the flashlight on all the time is a waste of electricity. In this environment, it is best to use a glow stick.

The green light emitted by the fluorescent stick was not very strong, but it was enough to dispel the darkness around Jiang Feng and Li Xiaoyue.

Li Xiaoyue turned off the flashlight and said to Jiang Feng: “Fortunately, you have a space ring. This is really convenient.”

Jiang Feng took out two waterproof jackets from the space ring and handed one to Li Xiaoyue: “Senior, it’s a bit cold here. You should also wear a jacket.”

“Thanks.”

Li Xiaoyue did not reject Jiang Feng’s kindness.

Although the physique of elite beast masters is indeed stronger than that of ordinary people, Li Xiaoyue is only wearing a short-sleeved shirt now, sitting in this dark cave, she will inevitably feel a little cold.
