Chapter 77: Clearing the Clouds

"beat!"

Meng Xingchen let out a low shout, leaped up, and shot three flying knives in his left hand at the three tiger cats coming towards him.

At the same time, on the other side, Li Kan also roared and swung the huge mace in his hand to resist the two tiger cats that pounced on her first.

“Da da da… Tu tu tu… Bang bang bang…”

Wang Tong, Ling Xiaozhe and Ye Zihong in the rear also opened fire immediately.

With the cooperation of the five people, the group of tiger cats that pounced on them were suppressed almost instantly.

Meng Xingchen's spear skills were like a violent storm. He faced three tiger cats and killed them all by decapitating their vital points in just three seconds.

The tiger cat seemed to be much smarter than the previous mutated blood sheep. After only attacking for a few seconds, it realized that the group of humans in front of it were not to be trifled with. Without anyone taking the lead, it immediately dispersed.

"Three teams chasing!"

Meng Xingchen shouted loudly and chased after the two tiger cats that were fleeing in front.

On the other side, Li Kan was in a team alone, while Ye Zihong, Wang Tong and Ling Xiaozhe were in a team of three, each chasing after the other fleeing tiger cats.

The battle ended in less than a minute.

After counting the battlefield, 17 tiger cats appeared and none of them escaped, but Li Kan was so excited that he shot one in the head with a mace. Another one was killed by Wang Tong's submachine gun after being hit in the head several times.

The other fifteen were either killed directly by Meng Xingchen or killed at the end.

After dealing with the group of tigers and cats, Meng Xingchen immediately called the stationed troops and agreed to meet at a place on the way.

When the resident director received another call from Meng Xingchen, he was a little confused.

He had never expected that this team from "Star Security" was so powerful. They had just solved a mutant creature incident yesterday afternoon and dealt with another one this morning.

Meng Xingchen didn't have time to talk to him, so he just agreed on the meeting place and hung up the phone.

When he was calling, Ye Zihong and Ling Xiaozhe had already taken out three special bags, then cut them open with a dagger and spread them on the ground.

This was planned last night. Gucun and Boyungou are relatively close to the Mingshan Ring Road, and they cannot just sit and wait for the garrison to come for transportation every time.

I bought a few extra special bags before, and they can all be used.

The bag was opened and spread on the ground. Li Kan and Wang Tong had quickly cleaned up the battlefield and dragged the mutant tiger cat's corpse over and placed it on the bag cloth.

Ye Zihong and Ling Xiaozhe used a dagger to cut small holes on both sides of the cut sac, then took out a spare rope and threaded it through to tie a knot.

Finally, the cut sac was used as the base, and four ropes were used to tie up the two sides, which could tie up up to ten mutant tiger cat corpses at once.

Li Kan was very strong and he pulled a pile of ten mutant tiger cat corpses tied together with one hand. Meng Xingchen dragged five with one hand, and the remaining three corpses were given to Wang Tong to drag with one hand.

Ye Zihong and Ling Xiaozhe were good marksmen, and they guarded on both sides with guns. The group quickly went out of the dense forest.

The return journey was actually much faster than the coming journey. Just over half an hour later, the team reunited with the garrison team that had come over for the search.

"Hahaha... Boss Meng, you are really a promising young man!" Seeing Meng Xingchen from a distance, the previous person in charge smiled and trotted over to greet him.

His military rank is higher than Meng Xingchen. Yesterday he called Meng Xingchen "Xiao Meng", but today he stopped calling him Xiao Meng and changed it to Boss Meng.

Meng Xingchen didn't like dealing with this kind of people, so he dealt with them casually. By the way, he asked the other party for a few special bags. He had someone dissect two mutant tiger cats, take out some of the internal organs and put them into the water, and then handed over the seventeen tiger cat corpses to them for transportation.

The corpse of the tiger cat is not as big as the mutant blood sheep, and this place is close to the mountain road, so there is no need to decompose the corpse. But after confirming this morning that these things have a huge attraction to mutant creatures, Meng Xingchen decided to keep some. Without waiting here, after making arrangements, Meng Xingchen took Li Kan and the other four to continue to rush to the direction of "Boyungou".

Halfway through the journey, Hu Zi Lao Ma called.

Bearded Lao Ma had obviously received the report and was very happy on the phone. He first asked about the general process of the mission and then asked Ling Xiaozhe whether he had made any breakthrough in his mental strength.
Meng Xingchen said that he had not done so yet, and that he couldn't rush the breakthrough in his mental strength. He also proposed to Hu Zi Laoma that he wanted to temporarily transfer Ling Xiaozhe to join the Xingchen security mission and train for a month.

Anyway, Ling Xiaozhe is currently in the special operations team, which means he stays at home and is responsible for logistical chores. Other people can also do these.

He and Hu Zi Lao Ma have always asked for exorbitant prices and paid back on the spot. Hu Zi Lao Ma thought about it and said that the maximum period of loan was five days.

After some bargaining, Bearded Old Ma agreed to let Ling Xiaozhe follow Xingchen for security for a maximum of half a month, but during this period Meng Xingchen could not hide anything and had to pass on all his experience in the use of mental power to Ling Xiaozhe.

Meng Xingchen agreed readily, and the matter was decided.

……

At around ten o'clock in the morning, Meng Xingchen's team arrived at Boyungou.

We found the high ground where we placed the bait last night, and sure enough, it was already a mess.

It was even more thorough than those mutant tiger cats. The three sacs left here were all gone. I don’t know whether they were swallowed directly by the mutant giant snake or carried away.

They released the little flower snake to collect scents and find their way, and Meng Xingchen and the other four entered the Boyun Valley.

The so-called "Boyungou" got its name because this ravine is often shrouded in fog.

"Goji berries." Shortly after entering Boyungou, Ling Xiaozhe pointed at a clump of plants and whispered.

Meng Xingchen looked in the direction she pointed, and saw that it was indeed a cluster of wolfberries, with densely packed green fruits the size of a little fingernail hanging on them.

"According to the information we have collected, medicinal herbs have been planted in Boyungou in the past, and there are a lot of wolfberries and astragalus." Ye Zihong also spoke up.

Meng Xingchen walked forward, picked a fruit and sniffed it, then walked to the little flower snake to see if it would eat it.

The little flower snake looked at Meng Xingchen with its eyes erect, then dodged to the side, completely ignoring the green wolfberry.

Without staying here for too long, Meng Xingchen picked a few green wolfberries and put them into his backpack, then followed the little flower snake to continue searching forward.

There are indeed many wolfberry and astragalus plants in Boyungou, and other medicinal herbs such as Gastrodia elata, honeysuckle, Panax notoginseng, etc. can also be seen growing sporadically.

Ling Xiaozhe knows these medicinal herbs like the back of his hand and recognizes almost all of them.

Her hometown is also in the countryside, and the village used to be a medicinal herb planting base.

……

Deep inside the Boyun Valley, the little flower snake swam all the way and finally led the few people to a hidden crack in the mountain wall.

No one knew how this crack in the mountain wall was formed. It was dark and deep inside, with a faint mist emanating from it.

Without rashly entering to explore again, Meng Xingchen opened a bag containing some of the mutant tiger cat's internal organs and threw it near the crack in the mountain wall.

He threw it all the way, and finally opened another bag and threw it directly into a large ditch.

After doing this, the five people applied ointment to conceal their breath and hid near the ravine.
