Awaken SSS-level talents at the beginning of Beast Control - Chapter 68
c68 sneak attack
“ah?”
Li Xiaoyue was a little surprised and even took half a step back because she didn’t expect that Jiang Feng had noticed her actions.
So will Jiang Feng think too much?
To be honest, Li Xiaoyue couldn’t think of the answer to this question for a while.
“Senior, are you feeling well?”
Jiang Feng saw that Li Xiaoyue’s face was slightly red and thought she was feeling unwell.
Li Xiaoyue came back to her senses and said to Jiang Feng, “I’m fine.”
Jiang Feng said: “Then I see, senior sister, you looked very worried just now.”
“I’m worried?”
Li Xiaoyue coughed lightly, and in order to maintain her dignity as a senior, she decided to become a guest.
“Wow, have you been staring at me?”
Jiang Feng did not answer in a hurry, but looked into Li Xiaoyue’s eyes and walked forward side by side with her.
In the end, Li Xiaoyue was defeated.
“Don’t take it seriously, I’m kidding you.”
Li Xiaoyue admitted that she was joking, but Jiang Feng said seriously: “Sister, I actually think what you said makes sense. If I didn’t pay attention to you all the time, how could I know that you have something on your mind?”
“Well……”
Jiang Feng said this, and Li Xiaoyue didn’t know how to answer his words.
“Senior, don’t think too much, I’m actually joking with you too.”
To adjust the atmosphere, just saying a few words is enough.
Everyone has not reached a safe place yet, and Jiang Feng cannot distract Li Xiaoyue too much.
Li Xiaoyue breathed a sigh of relief. She thought Jiang Feng really wanted to take the topic astray.
After confirming that there was nothing unusual around him, Li Xiaoyue whispered to Jiang Feng, “I just heard a strange sound.”
“Strange sound?” Jiang Feng was a little curious: “How strange is it?”
If other people asked this kind of question, Li Xiaoyue might think that they were just amusing themselves, but when Jiang Feng asked this, Li Xiaoyue didn’t think there was any problem.
Li Xiaoyue replied: “I can’t tell you exactly what’s strange, but I seemed to have heard a similar sound when I fell into the cave before.”
“Is that the sound that made you suspect that a fantasy beast was approaching the camp?”
When Li Xiaoyue said this, Jiang Feng remembered it.
“If I heard correctly, it should be.”
Jiang Feng nodded thoughtfully and asked Li Xiaoyue: “Then have you found the source of the sound?”
Li Xiaoyue shook her head slightly: “No.”
“Is there really a fantasy beast that has followed us all the way here? And is it planning to take advantage of the heavy fog again to attack us?”
To be honest, Jiang Feng thought it was unlikely that this would happen.
What kind of phantom beast has so much patience? In order to ensure that it can deal with all their attacks, it not only follows them here, but also waits until the fog comes to wait for an opportunity?
“Why don’t you think I’m hallucinating?”
Li Xiaoyue was a little surprised. Jiang Feng’s first reaction was not to question her, but to analyze her words.
“Senior, you are an elite beast master, how could you have auditory hallucinations?”
Of course Jiang Feng did not trust Li Xiaoyue blindly, but Li Xiaoyue heard similar voices twice, which was obviously not a coincidence.
Li Xiaoyue was a little touched because she met a friend like Jiang Feng who fully trusted her.
“Speaking of which, should we tell Brother Zeng about this?”
Jiang Feng looked back at Zeng Zhenghao.
Li Xiaoyue said: “I think it’s best not to tell other people about this for the time being. If I really make a mistake in my judgment, it will make everyone nervous in vain.”
“Having said that, the question now is, what should we do next?”
Jiang Feng could understand Li Xiaoyue’s thoughts, but in a place like the Misty Forest, many things could not be solved by just the two of them.
Just now, Jiang Feng used insight to check his surroundings, and the result was that everything was normal.
Insight skills are absolutely impossible to make mistakes, so Jiang Feng believes that this matter is nothing more than two situations. One is that Li Xiaoyue’s nerves are too sensitive, and the other is that the mysterious phantom beast temporarily distanced itself from them.
If it’s the former, it’s easy to say. Anyway, Li Xiaoyue has only told Jiang Feng her guess now, and Jiang Feng doesn’t think she is making things up out of thin air.
If it’s the latter, the situation is more serious.
Jiang Feng and others are now looking for traces of the Fire Feather Bird. It would not be a good thing if something unexpected happens along the way.
Li Xiaoyue said: “I do have an idea.”
“what idea?”
“The Bloodclaw Bear and I can be used as bait to make this phantom beast hidden in the dark appear on its own initiative.”
Jiang Feng thought for a while and said, “Isn’t this inappropriate?”
“Why do you say that?”
Li Xiaoyue believed that with the current level of the Blood Claw Bear, it would be the best choice to use it as bait.
Although Blue Nightmare’s level is only two levels higher than that of the Blood Claw Violent Bear, it is no exaggeration to say that with Blue Nightmare’s king-level bloodline, it can completely crush the Blood Claw Violent Bear in terms of momentum. Therefore, the Blood Claw Violent Bear He is the real “soft persimmon” in the team.
Jiang Feng said: “If this phantom beast can really hide from all of us, then its level must not be low, and maybe it has special abilities that allow you and the Bloodclaw Bear to be used as bait. This It’s not appropriate.”
Li Xiaoyue smiled and said: “Thank you for caring about me so much, but I think this is the safest plan. Don’t worry, if the situation goes wrong, I will summon the Iron Feathered Bird to help as soon as possible, and you are nearby. When the time comes, we will definitely be able to work together to defeat this phantom beast.”
“Okay, then please pay attention to safety. The fog is so heavy now, I suggest you not leave our sight.”
Since Jiang Feng couldn’t change Li Xiaoyue’s mind, he could only be prepared to support Li Xiaoyue at any time.
“Know it.”
Li Xiaoyue responded, and then walked towards the one o’clock direction with the Bloodclaw Bear.
At the same time, Jiang Feng quietly returned to his position.
However, before Li Xiaoyue and the Bloodclaw Bear had gone far, Wang Yuanhang approached Jiang Feng: “Jiang Feng, you and Xiaoyue won’t have any conflicts, right?”
Jiang Feng turned to look at Wang Yuanhang with a puzzled expression: “Brother Wang, why do you think so?”
“Is not it?”
After hearing what Jiang Feng said, Wang Yuanhang also showed a puzzled expression.
Wang Yuanhang’s performance made Jiang Feng a little confused. It was clearly Wang Yuanhang who came to him on his own initiative, so why did he become “confused” now?
“no.”
In any case, Jiang Feng felt that he should answer Wang Yuanhang’s question first.
Wang Yuanhang said: “It’s strange. Just now I clearly saw you chatting with Xiaoyue for a few words, and then she left by herself. In this case, it seems that you made her angry.”
Jiang Feng could understand why Wang Yuanhang made such a guess, but he said to Wang Yuanhang helplessly: “Brother Wang, do you think I am this kind of person?”
Wang Yuanhang looked at Jiang Feng and shook his head slightly: “It doesn’t look like that.”
However, before Jiang Feng could speak, Wang Yuanhang said to him again: “But I know people but don’t know their hearts. Who knows if you will often make Xiaoyue angry in private?”
Jiang Feng quickly waved his hand and said, “Brother Wang, this kind of joke is not fun.”
Wang Yuanhang asked again: “So you are really okay?”
Jiang Feng said: “It’s okay. She just told me that she wanted to go further away so that she could better confirm the surrounding situation.”
“I see.”
In fact, through a short period of getting along with each other, Wang Yuanhang could see that Jiang Feng was an “honest person”.
And with Jiang Feng’s talent, it’s not easy for him to be so approachable.
Wang Yuanhang said: “But with such a heavy fog, it is still inappropriate for Xiaoyue to be too far away from us.”
Because no one knows when they will get out of the fog, Wang Yuanhang, like Zeng Zhenghao, believes that it is best for everyone to be only a dozen meters apart, but Li Xiaoyue has now walked out of this distance.
“It doesn’t matter. She is an elite beast master. Even if she encounters an emergency, she can ensure her safety as soon as possible. It’s different for me. I’m the only ordinary beast master here. Logically speaking, I’m the only one here. It’s the most dangerous.”
Jiang Feng showed great confidence in Li Xiaoyue.
“That’s the truth, but are you really not worried about her at all?”
Wang Yuanhang didn’t believe that Jiang Feng would turn a blind eye to this given the way Jiang Feng and Li Xiaoyue usually got along.
Jiang Feng said seriously: “Maybe she is setting an example for me.”
“I really can’t refute your statement.” Wang Yuanhang patted Jiang Feng on the shoulder: “But if you have something to do next, you can always ask me for help.”
“Thank you.”
Jiang Feng smiled. Genius is not achieved overnight. If he needs help, he will never be polite to Wang Yuanhang.
“You’re welcome.” Wang Yuanhang waved to Jiang Feng: “I’m going over there first.”
Jiang Feng nodded.
After watching Wang Yuanhang walk away, Jiang Feng thought to himself: “Elite-level beast masters really have sharp senses.”
Although Wang Yuanhang didn’t say much, Jiang Feng thought that he should have noticed something.
But it doesn’t matter. Jiang Feng and Li Xiaoyue just don’t want to put more psychological pressure on Zeng Zhenghao, Wang Yuanhang and Bi Hongcheng without definite evidence. If they really find something abnormal, it won’t be too late to tell them later.
Facts proved that Jiang Feng’s guess was correct. Wang Yuanhang did feel that he was hiding something.
Of course, this is just Wang Yuanhang’s guess. He definitely doesn’t know what the real situation is. And the most important thing is that if Jiang Feng and Li Xiaoyue are talking about private matters, it really has nothing to do with him.
“Forget it, the mission is urgent.”
Wang Yuanhang shook his head.
If it were normal time when he was resting in the base city, then he would definitely be willing to chat more gossip, but everyone is now looking for traces of the Fire Bird, so gossiping should be avoided for the time being.
Bi Hongcheng walked at the front of the team. In order to block the attack of the phantom beast immediately, he could not focus on others.
As for Zeng Zhenghao, who is in charge of the rearguard, he must have noticed the actions of Jiang Feng, Li Xiaoyue and Wang Yuanhang.
Based on Zeng Zhenghao’s understanding of Wang Yuanhang, he believed that Wang Yuanhang most likely came to Jiang Feng out of curiosity.
It was the conversation between Jiang Feng and Li Xiaoyue that made Zeng Zhenghao a little concerned.
Why does Li Xiaoyue want to distance herself from other people?
Zeng Zhenghao has not yet thought of the answer to this question.
Fortunately, everyone walked on the mountain road for more than 20 minutes, and this time they still did not encounter wild fantasy beasts.
Although no one in the team has found any traces of Fire Bird activity so far, Zeng Zhenghao believes that being in the heavy fog and not finding anything is not necessarily a bad thing. At least it means that they don’t have to follow the people they encounter. Wild fantasy beast battle.
However, just when Zeng Zhenghao took out the map and compass to confirm whether everyone was heading in the correct direction, he suddenly heard a “click”.
Although the voice was almost inaudible, Zeng Zhenghao’s level was Elite Level 5, and his hearing was extraordinary.
“what sound?”
The habit he had developed for a long time made Zeng Zhenghao subconsciously stop immediately, lower his body and start to observe the surrounding environment.
But after listening carefully for a while, Zeng Zhenghao found that the voice had completely disappeared.
Did someone step on the branch?
This is in the forest, and it is normal for someone to occasionally step on a branch.
“wrong.”
Zeng Zhenghao thought as he walked, he still felt that something was wrong, because the sound he heard just now was different from the sound made by stepping on a branch.
“Don’t be careless.”
Zeng Zhenghao did not rush to put the map and compass back into his backpack, but decided to remind others to pay attention to safety.
Although such a heavy fog would not only affect their sight, but also reduce the efficiency of finding prey for most phantom beasts, but if they didn’t, they would just encounter phantom beasts that would not be affected by the fog.
Considering that there are two new members in the team, Jiang Feng and Li Xiaoyue, every arrangement Zeng Zhenghao makes must be more cautious.
However, just when Zeng Zhenghao was about to call Wang Yuanhang, something happened on Li Xiaoyue’s side.
Next, Zeng Zhenghao didn’t bother to call Wang Yuanhang, but immediately ran towards Li Xiaoyue.
Because Jiang Feng had been paying attention to the situation on Li Xiaoyue’s side, and he was relatively close to Li Xiaoyue, he was the first to rush to Li Xiaoyue’s side.
However, it was not Li Xiaoyue who was in trouble, but the Bloodclaw Bear.
Jiang Feng raised his head and glanced at the iron-feathered bird hovering in the air and the bloody-clawed bear covering its head, and then hurriedly asked Li Xiaoyue: “Senior, what happened?”
Li Xiaoyue shook her head slightly: “I’m not sure. Originally, the Blood Claw Bear was walking well, but just now it seemed like someone suddenly hit its head hard and let out a cry. I was startled by it, so I hurriedly Summon the iron-feathered bird.”
“Is there such a thing?”
Jiang Feng frowned slightly.
Although Li Xiaoyue was safe and sound, the attack by the Bloodclaw Bear was enough to prove that there was something hidden in the mist.
“I didn’t expect it to happen so suddenly.”
Li Xiaoyue was also a little nervous.
The unknown danger is the scariest thing.
“Xiaoyue, are you all okay?”
When Wang Yuanhang ran over, he also noticed the bloody-clawed bear covering his head with a confused look on his face.
Zeng Zhenghao and Bi Hongcheng followed closely behind, and they both summoned their own contract beasts to prevent any phantom beasts from taking the opportunity to sneak attack.
