Jingcheng, the nearest transit station to the Mirage Mountain Range.
The place had been built into a steel fortress. From time to time, the sound of gunfire could be heard, shaking the ground.
"Another beast tide is coming. It's worthy of being labeled as a five-star extremely dangerous area …"
"It's a good thing. There are a lot of alienated beasts in the Mirage Mountain Range. Most of them are edible. Recently, the price of meat in Jingcheng has fallen a lot."
When the gunfire stopped, the steel gate of the transit station reopened. The city guards quickly dealt with the corpses outside the city wall, picking out some of the less damaged and edible alienated beasts. Some people were responsible for skinning and cutting the main materials. Finally, the remaining corpses were dragged to the nearest landfill and burned.
There were also disinfecting personnel around the city wall to prevent virus infection.
Facing the back door of the Jingcheng shelter, several convoys came in at this time. Hunters wearing uniform and sophisticated equipment got off the vehicles.
The idle hunters at the transit station looked over in amazement.
"How come people from several major mercenary regiments are together?"
"It's the mercenary regiments controlled by the Li family, the Ye family, and the Wu family. It seems that there are also elites sent by their families."
"Didn't the Li family just lose a mercenary regiment some time ago? It's said that the leader, Immortal Li Jing, died without a whole body. I don't know who did it. It's terrible. "
"The Ancestral Dragon Special Warfare Regiment is also here! I don't know which faction it is, or all of them?! "
"It feels like something big is going to happen!"
There were a lot of elite hunters coming. Their momentum made all the hunters at the transit station look at them.
The idle hunters and the big hunters were like two distinct groups. Or it could be said that the scattered hunters couldn't afford to provoke the big forces, so they could only hide and rest.
To the surprise of the idle hunters, the elite hunters were fully equipped. Obviously, they weren't going out for an outing. They rested in the transit station for a long time, but they didn't seem to have the intention to go into the mountain.
… …
Meanwhile, on the other side.
The elite hunters were divided into areas according to different forces. They were whispering.
Some people looked contemptuous:
"Why are we waiting for people from other shelters? What's the use of those weak chickens! "
"I heard that it's a game between the upper echelons. Anyway, the Mirage Mountain is so big that we can't swallow it all by ourselves. Moreover, there are more than a dozen large shelters coming this time. Their combined strength is not weak."
"Ho-ho, I heard that some teams lost half of their men on the way to Jingcheng. The remaining men will only drag us down."
"So weak?"
"What do you think? Jingcheng has the best rune equipment, the most powerful awakeners, and several Secret Realms have been developed … How can other shelters be compared with these? Take the secret realm we jointly controlled with the Li and Ye families as an example. In there, cultivating for a day is equivalent to refining one-third of a bottle of spirit power. It's more efficient than hunting demonic beasts. "
The Awakened who spoke had a sense of superiority.
"As for the other shelters, even if they were lucky enough to find a secret realm, would they be able to understand the meaning of those words? While our cultivation base is rising, those people can only climb forward bit by bit. "
…
Time slowly passed.
The convoys arrived one after another. The convoys were mixed. In addition to the shelter's official forces, there were also top mercenary teams from various shelters. There were a lot of people, adding up to two or three thousand elite hunters. Although they were the elites who had been selected many times.
Not only to explore the Mirage Mountain, but many shelters also opened up a 'road' to Jingcheng to facilitate future travel.
The transit station wasn't big, so the convoys stayed outside. The major forces of Jingcheng who arrived first also came out and commented on the convoys of the major shelters.
… …
The large-scale joint team of Tiannan Province didn't immediately explore the Mirage Mountain.
On the first day, they lingered at the entrance to familiarize themselves with the environment in the mountain range. It also gave the teams some time to get used to each other.
The sky darkened and brightened. On the morning of the next day, nearly three hundred peak experts were selected from the first day's allied army to form the Tiannan exploration team.
"How come our Kun City only has so few spots?"
The leader of Kun City looked at the few 'own people' in the exploration team. His face darkened and he was quite dissatisfied.
In name, Jingcheng's number one and two giants had the highest authority. But in fact, even if they were all official shelters, they had their own interests. Jingcheng didn't have the ability to command the major shelters of Tiannan Province. The formation of the exploration team was more like a profit motive.
He didn't agree with the allocation of Jingcheng's commander!
However, the dissatisfaction of the Kun City's leader didn't resonate with the other shelters. Some people even sneered.
"Can't you see how many experts there are in Kun City? Why do you have to let the trash follow you? "
The leader of Kun City glared at them.
"Kun City should have few experts, but the exploration team must at least have the strength of the Seventh Awakening Stage. Otherwise, it's not good for yourself and the team."
Jingcheng was the strongest, occupying a small half of the team. Other shelters had more or less top experts selected.
Just like Kun City, it was the one with the least.
The exploration team was selected by Jingcheng, but all the forces saw it. There was no trick. They were selected based on strength and performance on the first day. Each shelter was both a partner and a competitor. And the competition had already begun from the moment of selection.
If there were many candidates, it meant the shelter was strong. If there were few candidates, it meant they would lose face.
Kun Mountain's leader retorted a few words. In the end, he didn't dare to leave the exploration team and enter the mountain alone. He angrily threw a few words and stopped talking.
… …
The exploration team set off.
Many of the remaining people from other forces also chose to enter the Mirage Mountain Range. But they didn't dare to go deep and just wandered around the periphery.
… …
The exploration team didn't move fast. The hunters in front of the team wielding long weapons were waving and chopping down weeds and obstacles. Spirit and perception ability users took turns to release their abilities to explore the surrounding environment.
Zhou Jianhong was assigned to the flank. He waved his sword to kill the demonic beasts. He sighed.
"I don't know why I'm not optimistic about this joint operation."
"Then why are you here?"
"Lindong's asking price is high. I've been in the trial tower for the past few days and bought a few pieces of equipment. I've spent all my spirit stones. The Tree Shade's spending is so high. If I don't make money, I won't be able to live. Why are you here?"
"What a coincidence, me too."
"I found a lot of people didn't come. They must be rich people with mines at home."
"Forget it. Whether Jingcheng can achieve his goal or not, it has nothing to do with us. As long as we get paid and can practice in the Tree Shade, it's enough."
"That's right, that's right!"
In front of the team, Jingcheng's commander spoke in a deep voice.
"Attention! We're about to enter the Mirage Mountain Range. The inner layer of the mountain range may encounter danger at any time. It may be the environment or unknown enemies. Be vigilant. The sun is about to leave us. "
The voice was cleverly controlled so that everyone could hear it clearly, but it wouldn't spread far and attract enemies.
When Zhou Jianhong heard it, he raised his head slightly and looked at the sky.
The sky gradually darkened.
The scorching sun hanging high in the sky also disappeared without a trace.
