Chapter 21 Departure
The big camp in the Cangling Mountains is actually the Cangling Defense Camp established by the Daoxuan Dynasty many years ago to defend against the beasts in the Cangling Mountains. The divisions replaced the duties of the defense army, so this camp was also given up by the dynasty for the beast hunters who entered the mountain to rest and rest.

The camp originally had 500 troops, and the place was not small. When the dynasty decided to use the camp for other purposes, they converted the original barracks into a two-story inn, and equipped a doctor. The hunters only needed to pay a certain amount. Fees, you can enjoy accommodation and medical services.

Chen Xiaofan and his group arrived at the camp in the evening. The camp was surrounded by the unique black steel rocks of the Cangling Mountains. There was only one camp gate for entry and exit. In the blurry font, only the word Cangling is vaguely discernible.

In front of the gate of the camp, there are several men wearing half-sleeved jackets made of animal skins. These people are the management personnel of the camp. Although they are not members of the imperial dynasty, they are doing the work of the imperial dynasty. He greeted Tang Wenchang with acquaintance: "Long time no see, Brother Tang."

"Oh, it's Meng Tao." Tang Wenchang said as he took out some silver from his body and gave it to the other party.

At this moment, Meng Tao found Chen Xiaofan in Tang Wenchang's team, so he said to Cai Xiaohong, who was half a body behind Tang Wenchang, "Sister Cai, are you finally settled?"

Cai Xiaohong laughed loudly and said: "That's right, our little brother Chen can hurt people! But I don't see me being bullied at all."

Tang Wenchang also laughed, pulled Chen Xiaofan forward and introduced, "Meng Tao, this is our new team member, Chen Xiaofan."

Chen Xiaofan greeted Meng Tao and said, "Please advise Meng Ge."

"Then congratulations to Brother Tang, your beast hunting team is very famous, it's rare to have a little boy who doesn't know how to be tall and thick to join!"

Liu Hua stepped forward and said, "Heizi, it's because you are ignorant. Brother Chen is a rare master."

"Monkey, don't fool me. I've seen a lot of people, Lao Meng. Look at his slender arms and legs. Don't kill him the first time you come out!"

When Liu Huagang wanted to say something more, Wu Gang spoke first and said, "Don't talk nonsense, let's go."

Meng Tao also knew Wu Gang's temperament, so he stopped raising banners with Liu Hua, and said to Tang Wenchang: "Brother Tang, we will talk next time, if we don't leave, Brother Wu will be angry."

"Brother Meng Tao, let's get drunk next time we have free time." Tang Wenchang and Meng Tao said goodbye, Chen Xiaofan followed closely behind and bowed his hands to Meng Tao to say goodbye.

Tang Wenchang took Chen Xiaofan and the four of them, and under the arrangement of the relevant personnel, they lived in a room in the camp. They were quite tired after a day's journey. They ate something casually in the camp, and then went back to their rooms. take a break.

Everyone in the hunting team slept very peacefully that night, and it was dawn in a blink of an eye.

In the second morning, the sun was shining brightly, and under the shade of green trees in the Cangling Mountains, it was not so eye-catching, but softer and brighter.

After simple grooming and eating, the members of the hunting team gathered in front of the gate of the camp, and quickly left the camp. Tang Wenchang stopped at the foot of a rock.

"Everyone come here, I will tell you the route of our mission." Tang Wenchang said.

Chen Xiaofan leaned over and asked: "Captain, why did you say the specific route until now?"

"The competition between our beast hunting teams is extremely strong, because other teams know our route, and sometimes when they are in a life-and-death fight with fierce beasts, they force their way in. It may have killed my own life." Wu Gang walked over slowly and said slowly.

"Someone would do such an immoral thing?" Chen Xiaofan couldn't believe it.

Wu Gang said with a serious face: "The animal hunting industry is inherently a dangerous industry. There is basically no morality between teams. It is a common thing to kill people for profit."

"I understand." Chen Xiaofan nodded.

At this time, Cai Xiaohong and Liu Hua also surrounded her, there was no hint of laughter on their faces, and they looked like different people in peacetime.

Tang Wenchang saw that the four people had come, and took out a small map from his body. The map was very delicately painted. Tang Wenchang pointed to a crossed place on the map and said: "This is the target area of ​​our mission. According to the news I bought from the black market, Heichong wolves often appear in this area, but it is worth noting that there are other third-order beasts appearing in this area, we must be particularly careful."

After looking at the map carefully, Wu Gang said: "This should be in the central area of ​​the Cangling Mountains. There is a huge forest lake in this area. I remember I went there many years ago. The water in that lake is very different. The beast must go to the place where it drinks water every day, so that place is very dangerous."

After hearing what Wu Gang said, Tang Wenchang asked in a low voice, "Does Old Wu mean to give up this mission?"

"Of course not, I just remind everyone to be careful."

"What do you think of Monkey and Sister Cai?" Tang Wenchang asked.

"I have no questions." Cai Xiaohong answered very simply.

Liu Hua thought for a while and said, "The talisman on me should be enough to deal with it. I think I can give it a try."

Seeing that Liu Hua and Cai Xiaohong had no problems, Tang Wenchang then asked Chen Xiaofan: "Brother Chen, do you have any questions?"

"Captain, Brother Wu just said that there are too many strange beasts in that place, right?" At Wu Gang's request, Chen Xiaofan began to call him Big Brother.

"Yes."

After seeing Tang Wenchang nodding, Chen Xiaofan frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about many problems.

Seeing Chen Xiaofan like this, Cai Xiaohong comforted her: "As long as we are careful, nothing will happen. If there is a big deal, we can't do anything. We will retreat immediately."

Chen Xiaofan came back to his senses and said: "Sister Cai, what I am concerned about is not the danger brought by too many beasts, I am thinking how to bring them back if we kill too many beasts!"

Cai Xiaohong seemed a little dull when she heard it, and looked at Chen Xiaofan with strange eyes.

Wu Gang laughed and said, "Compared to Brother Chen, we seem petty."

Liu Hua, on the other hand, said dumbfoundedly: "Brother Chen, don't you know there is another thing called a bag charm?"

"What is the bag talisman?" Chen Xiaofan had read the rune book given by the old Taoist priest, but there was no mention of the bag talisman in it.

"Could it be said that geniuses are people who are missing something?!" Liu Hua joked and then explained to Chen Xiaofan: "The bag charm was created by the master of the bag in the Western Kek Lok Temple more than 400 years ago. Put a thousand catties in it for twenty hours."

After listening to Liu Hua's explanation, Chen Xiaofan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since I'm not afraid of killing too many and not being able to take them back, then I have no problem."

"Brother Chen! I'm not afraid of killing too many and not being able to take them back. I'm just afraid that too many will come and we won't be able to kill them all. Let them kill us." Cai Xiaohong said to Chen Xiaofan angrily.

"Don't worry, Sister Cai, even if there is real danger, at worst I will make you safe!" Chen Xiaofan comforted Cai Xiaohong in turn.

Cai Xiaohong looked into Chen Xiaofan's eyes, her eyes were full of sincerity, she knew that what Chen Xiaofan said was true, if she was really in danger, Chen Xiaofan would really be in the rear, slightly moved: "Brother Chen, when you really encounter such a time, Don't do anything stupid, let's run together."

"Okay, don't say unlucky things all the time, let's just be careful." Tang Wenchang opened his mouth and wanted to continue talking to Cai Xiaohong, and then continued: "Since everyone is fine, I will start assigning tasks.

Liu Hua is still in charge of assisting you, me, Brother Chen and Sister Cai are in charge of the main attack, and Lao Wu is more agile, so he is still in charge of waiting for opportunities to attack. "

Everyone nodded to express their understanding, and continued to move forward. When they had traveled about five miles, Tang Wenchang said in a low voice: "From now on, in front of the square formation, Liu Hua will be in the center, Brother Chen and I will be the head and tail, and Sister Cai and Lao Wu will be the left and right wings." , proceed carefully and vigilantly, there are second-order strange beasts appearing in this area."

Everyone took their positions according to Tang Wenchang's words, formed a square formation and continued to move forward, and the speed of moving forward also slowed down a lot.
