In the silent forest, the phone's ringtone was ear-piercing.
A two-meter-tall mosaic ant ran through the grass and came to the front of the phone.
The light from the phone screen was reflected in the mosaic ant's round, black eyes, and it was confused.
This mosaic ant was not a low-level soldier ant with only one intelligence.
In the hierarchy of mosaic ants, from low to high, they were Chores Ant, Soldier Ant, Captain, Division Commander, Personal Guard, and Queen.
This mosaic ant was at the level of a captain. In terms of intelligence, it was not much different from a division level mosaic ant. It also knew how to speak the common language.
"What's this?"
The mosaic ant with obvious mantis characteristics picked up the phone with a puzzled expression.
In the East Goto Republic, where mobile phones were banned, many people did not know what a mobile phone was. Moreover, this mosaic ant might not be able to retain the memory of the phone.
He held the ringing phone and turned it over and over. He did not feel threatened at all.
Crack.
In a moment of carelessness, the phone was broken, and the ringing stopped abruptly.
"Oh, it's broken."
Looking at the broken phone, the mantis ant glanced at it coldly and left.
At the same time, in a small mountain town at the eastern end of the Ulubian Continent.
Ku'Er frowned, and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.
Ding ding.
A few seconds later, the phone received a location message. It was in the East Goto Republic of the Metai Federation in the Balusa Islands.
"Did something happen to Peng Si?"
Ku'Er's heart tightened, and he quickly ran to a hotel in the town.
There were many branches of Creature Hunters. Ku'Er was a Phantom Beast Hunter, and Peng Si was an Insect Hunter. Other than that, there were also Wild Beast Hunters.
Being in the same circle and taking the exam at the same time, they exchanged contact numbers after receiving their licenses.
In the following days, they frequently exchanged relevant information.
Therefore, the two of them naturally established a [Safe Contact Identity] relationship.
Ku'Er called as scheduled, but the call did not go through. Peng Si's number automatically sent a location message, indicating that the phone was damaged by external forces.
Ku'Er had reason to suspect that something had happened to Peng Si, so he wanted to inform the leader and leave the team to follow the location message to East Goto to check out the situation.
The hotel they were staying in had five floors, and the first floor was a restaurant.
When Ku 'er came into the restaurant, the team leader and the others happened to be walking down the stairs.
"Oh, you came back at the right time. Let's have dinner together."
A total of four people came downstairs, and one of them was Da Baboon.
He called out to Burglar, who had just stepped into the restaurant, and led the rest of his teammates to an empty table.
Ku 'er was anxious, but he still walked over obediently and sat down.
Their team had a total of five people, all of whom were Fantasy Beast Hunters.
The purpose of this team operation was to search for traces of an unknown phantom beast in Kesi Forest.
It took a total of one and a half months. Just yesterday, the team completed the mission and came out of the forest. They temporarily stayed in the hotel to discuss and review the operation together, hoping to gain some experience from it.
The discussion and review would take at least three days. It was a rare exchange of experience.
As a junior, Ku 'er cherished this opportunity very much. However, Peng Si's situation was unclear, so he could only give up this opportunity.
Fortunately, the quest was completed …
Ku 'er sat quietly, watching Da Baboon take the menu and order a bunch of dishes.
He patiently waited for Da Baboon to finish ordering before Da Baboon asked to leave immediately.
"You're leaving?"
Da Baboon was surprised. The review exchange had only been going on for a day.
He could see Ku 'er's ambition, and he couldn't wait to ask a hundred thousand whys. That was why he was surprised.
"Yes."
Ku 'er nodded embarrassedly, and then roughly explained the reason.
"Eastern Fruit Tuo? I've been there a few times. It's forbidden to bring communication devices into the country. "Da Baboon touched his chin.
Ku 'er was stunned. He didn't know about this.
"Illegal entry." Beside him, a man in sunglasses gave a conclusion. He was also a Fantasy Beast Hunter, and his name was Wayne.
This conclusion was obvious.
Da Baboon didn't express his opinion, but it was also his opinion.
Ku 'er was embarrassed. He only knew that Peng Si had always been in a team, and he didn't know the details of her operation.
However, the information exchanged all this time was useful. This meant that each other's operation range was basically in the wild.
"Can you show me the location information?" Da Baboon looked at Ku 'er.
Ku 'er handed over the phone without saying anything.
Da Baboon took the phone and looked at the location information. A strange look flashed in his eyes.
He returned the phone to Ku 'er, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "May I ask, is your friend a professional hunter?"
"Yes, she got her license at the same time as me. She also knows how to use telekinesis."
"She works alone?"
"No, she's always been in a team. Moreover, there's an expert in her teammates."
"Is that so …"
The strange look in Da Baboon's eyes intensified.
Ku 'er didn't understand. The other three people at the table listened silently.
"If we were to assign danger levels to places like the Demon Territory, Mystic Realm, Mountain Range, Forest, and Swamp, then the danger level of the Cocoesi Forest that we went to recently is B."
"And the location information …"
Da Baboon pointed at Ku 'er's phone and said, "The danger level is only F, ranked second to last."
"Huh?"
Ku 'er couldn't help but lower his head to look at the phone.
He had just come out of the Cocoesi Forest and had personal experience. Therefore, in comparison, he felt that a place with a danger level of F shouldn't be able to harm Peng Si, right? Moreover, there was an expert in the team.
"Sometimes, the reason for the danger may be a man-made disaster," Da Baboon said.
Ku 'er's expression changed slightly, and he made a prompt decision. "Sorry, I want to set off immediately."
"Don't worry, that's just my guess. If it's a man-made disaster, you basically won't receive the location information. In short, calm down first."
As Da Baboon spoke, he saw the waiter bringing the dishes over. He said, "You have to eat to have the strength to work."
"…" Ku 'er was speechless.
After the meal, Ku 'er didn't have much of an appetite and didn't eat much.
After Da Baboon was full, he exhaled and said, "I plan to go to East Gotuo. What about you guys?"
As he spoke, he looked at the other three teammates at the table.
The three of them looked at each other. Two of them immediately declined with the reason of "schedule conflicts". Only Wayne agreed.
Da Baboon expressed his understanding. After this meal, the review exchange meeting couldn't continue, so they parted ways.
After sending off his two teammates, Da Baboon led Ku 'er and Wayne to a car and headed to the airport.
On the way, Ku 'er apologized. "It's all because of me."
Wayne didn't say anything, but Da Baboon said calmly, "I believe in your judgment of your friend's strength, so I'm very curious about what happened."
"If we rule out man-made disasters, then there's another reason that I want to know."
Da Baboon didn't explain, but he knew that when such a phenomenon happened, it might be caused by an unknown creature. He couldn't rule out the possibility that it was an unknown phantom beast.
Five days later, Da Baboon and the other two entered the country legally and went directly to the location where the location information was posted.
