Chapter 155 Very Simple and Straightforward
After a brief battle, the wolves were wiped out by the hunters' concerted efforts.

Everyone walked on the thick snow and continued to move deeper into the forest.

After that, we encountered several strange-looking polluted bodies, but they were all small in size and were easily eliminated.

"There are signs of camping ahead!" A hunter with excellent eyesight ran forward quickly, squatted down to check the ground, and then waved to the hunters behind him.

Everyone gathered around.

The snow nearby was relatively thin, there were embers of burnt firewood on the ground, and there were several fallen pine trees around, with very smooth cuts, probably having been cut by someone with tools.

"Look, there is a stainless steel cup here." Another hunter picked up a cup from the snow.

Su Yuqing took the cup from the other party, looked at it carefully, and said, "This should be something left behind by the expedition team. They rested here."

Xu Yiming looked around and said, "How about we take a rest here?"

"Okay." Su Yuqing nodded and looked at Feng Ling, "We have been in the maze for an hour, let's take a break."

"Okay." Feng Ling had no objection.

The temperature here is too low. Ordinary people would be frozen after walking for an hour. Even for hunters like them, it is difficult to endure the severe cold.

We stopped here to rest the team.

The fallen thick tree trunks can be used as seats, and the branches of the trunks can be chopped off as firewood. When the bonfire burns, it will burn more and more vigorously, and the resin secreted from the branches and leaves will emit a unique fragrance during the burning.

With the heat source, everyone's condition improved.

Xu Yiming stretched his slightly stiff fingers, warmed them by the fire, and looked at the situation over at Feng Ling's side.

"Old Su, what do you think is going on with Feng Ling?" Xu Yiming couldn't help but chat with Su Yuqing, "It's been more than an hour, and I haven't seen her make a move."

Su Yuqing was slightly stunned. "Have you taken action? Haven't the two polluted beasts she raised been helping?"

Xu Yiming was a little speechless, "I mean her personally."

Su Yuqing laughed, "I see, you want to see what the number one hunter on the hunter list looks like when he makes a move."

Xu Yiming also smiled, glanced at the hunters nearby, and said, "Who doesn't want to see it? I guess everyone here wants to see the style of the top of the list. Don't you want to see it?"

Su Yuqing glanced at Feng Ling. "Unless she encounters a particularly dangerous situation, I guess she won't take action. Her ability will cause changes to her upper body. It shouldn't be very convenient to wear such thick winter clothes now."

"So that's how it is," Xu Yiming couldn't help but ask, "What about the two people around her? Why don't they take action?"

Su Yuqing knew Huangfu Miaomiao, but it was his first time meeting Li Qing. He guessed that the other party was the maze administrator that Feng Ling mentioned on the phone. However, in front of so many people, it was not easy to ask directly, so he simply replied: "Ask her yourself."

"Ah?" Xu Yiming stared, "...Is it appropriate?"

"It's okay, just ask." Su Yuqing said with a smile, "Don't worry, she's easy to get along with. You don't need to beat around the bush when chatting with her. Just ask directly if you have any questions."

Xu Yiming felt a little uncomfortable. As a man in his thirties, he felt a little awkward chatting up a young girl.

And directly asking the other party why they didn't take action seems to be an implication of blaming the other party for being lazy.

While hesitating, several female hunters in the team had already started talking to Feng Ling.

"Your pet is awesome, can I touch it?"

"Yeah, can we touch it?"

Xu Yiming immediately regretted it. Why didn't he think of starting with the topic of pets? Look at how he was chatting with her. It was so natural!
Feng Ling smiled and said, "You can touch the black one, but it's a bit prickly."

The cat spider was being touched by a group of women, looking very confused. A female hunter said: "I would want to kill other pollutants as soon as I saw them, but this one is so cute."

Another female hunter said, "Yes, it's very well behaved, like a black cat I once had. Can it meow?"

Feng Ling thought for a moment, then said to the Cat-Cat-Spider, "Call a few times and let me hear it?"

Cat spider: "hiss hiss hiss~~~"

"Haha! How funny! Like a cat with a bad cold."

A few more people joined the cat-stroking group and took the opportunity to chat with Feng Ling.

"Is your card ability to tame polluted bodies?" someone asked her.

Feng Ling said: "It's a little different, more in the direction of breeding. I can use cards to breed new species. For example, this one was bred by me using spider cards and the corpse of a kitten."

Someone immediately exclaimed: "Wow, if we breed a few more, we don't have to do it ourselves when we need to fight. How cool~"

Feng Ling smiled and said, "At most I can breed one more. It's annoying enough for me to raise two now. I have to find a way to feed them every day when I open my eyes."

"What do they eat?"

"Eat meat. All fresh meat."

"…Eat humans?"

Feng Ling thought of Xiao Zhiwen, who was from the first branch of the family, and answered hesitantly: "They eat it, but I don't let them eat it, so as not to form a habit."

The hands that were petting the cat silently retracted.

Seeing that the atmosphere was right, Xu Yiming raised his voice and said to Feng Ling: "Feng Ling, this area is quite large. You have experience in breaking through mazes. In your opinion, where should we go later?"

Feng Ling thought for a moment and said, "My friend's card ability is fortune-telling. I'll ask him to tell my fortune."

She turned her head and looked at Li Qing, "Master, use your beads to calculate which direction we will go later."

Li Qing was stunned when his name was suddenly called. "...What do you want me to be? Is it a safe direction or a dangerous direction?"

Feng Ling said without hesitation: "It's a dangerous direction. Our mission is to remove pollutants. The more dangerous it is, the more pollutants there are."

She looked at everyone and very democratically asked for their opinions, "The more dangerous the better, right?"

"Yes, um... yes, we are going in a dangerous direction..."

The hunters responded, their expressions somewhat subtle.

This is the truth, why does it feel weird when I say it out loud?
Su Yuqing silently gave Xu Yiming a look: See, I was right, wasn't I? Very simple and straightforward.

Xu Yiming nodded silently.

Li Qing was more thoughtful than Feng Ling and said in a gentle tone: "Since the purpose is to remove pollutants, let me calculate which direction has more pollutants."

He took out the string of beads, removed three beads, and threw them into the air, using divination to determine the direction with the largest number of pollutants.

Seeing this, Xu Yiming said, "Everyone, take a rest for another 10 minutes, and then go out to remove the contaminants, okay?"

no disagreement.

Although they were all a little greedy for the warmth of the campfire, the mission was more important. The sooner they cleared out the contaminated bodies, the sooner they could leave the maze.

Feng Ling sat by the campfire, thought for a moment, and whispered to Li Qing beside him: "The maze is damaged to this extent, does that thing still exist?"
