Lord of the Star Ocean

The Great Swamp after dark is more dangerous than during the day.

Many monsters have the habit of being nocturnal. They hide in their dens during the day and sleep, and at night they hunt for food. They are also good at using the cover of night to attack their prey.

As a hunter, Nie Feng shouldn't be moving around in the dark, as it would easily attract attacks from monsters.

But he has no choice.

The aristocratic family he had just wiped out once met Peng Yi's team at noon, which showed that Nie Feng was not too far away from the temporary camp he had been looking for.

According to the originally discussed plan, the team will use the temporary camp as a base to hunt around, and it is impossible for Peng Yi and others to leave the camp too far.

Therefore, as long as Nie Feng followed the opponent's previous path, he might find the correct path back to the camp, or meet members of the team, which was much better than aimlessly running around.

It is impossible for the traces of the descendants of those aristocratic families to remain in the swamp area for too long. The destruction of monsters or a light rain can destroy these important clues.

Another very important reason is that there is no thick fog, the moonlight shines, and the visibility in the swamp is very high. It is not only convenient for Nie Feng to find traces, but also allows him to avoid sudden attacks by monsters.

So it's worth the risk.

But there are ways to take risks. Nie Feng was very careful while searching for traces. He smeared a lot of mud on his body to cover his body temperature and breath.

In addition, he is also ready to fight at any time!

Maybe it was the favor of the Star God. Nie Feng searched for more than two hours, and found traces on the ground one after another without interrupting the clues, and no powerful monsters suddenly rushed out to attack him.

But that luck ended at midnight.

Because the foggy bog is foggy again.

No matter how courageous Nie Feng was, he didn't dare to explore the swamp in the foggy night, so he was forced to find a relatively safe place nearby and hide, quietly waiting for the dawn.

During the long second half of the night, he was half asleep and half awake, holding the saber tightly in his right hand.

It was not easy to survive until dawn.

After hastily eating a few mouthfuls of dry food and drinking some water, Nie Feng started on the road again.

His search was made difficult by the thick fog, with fewer and fewer leads to be found, and little hope of rediscovering the team.

But Nie Feng didn't give up because of this. While searching slowly, he whistled like a bird from time to time-this was the secret signal agreed in the team before, so that everyone could communicate with each other when they dispersed unintentionally.

Squeak~squeak~squeak~

Squeak!

Time passed by, and just as Nie Feng lost his confidence, he suddenly heard three long and two short screams from not far away.

found it!

Nie Feng suddenly felt refreshed, the voice from over there was the team's contact signal!

He quickly responded with the same whistle, and quickly moved in the direction of the sound.

"Nie Feng, are you Brother Nie Feng?"

Only a moment later, Nie Feng heard Peng Yi's familiar voice, full of surprise and expectation!

"it's me!"

Nie Feng couldn't help answering loudly, his heart was also full of joy.

The next moment, two figures rushed out from the mist, and they were Peng Yi and Hong Jiu!

"Hahaha!"

Seeing Nie Feng, Peng Yi laughed and said, "I knew you were fine!"

Nie Feng stretched out his fist and touched him hard, everything was said without saying a word!

Half a quarter later, Nie Feng and Peng Yihongjiu returned to the temporary camp together. There was only one wounded person staying behind in the cave camp. Seeing Nie Feng was a great surprise.

Two or three hours later, Wei Liangcai and the other three warriors returned to the camp in two batches.

The team originally had a total of ten members. Two members died in the battle that day, so now including Nie Feng, there are only eight members left.

This is also a helpless thing. The mission of the Ministry of Fire assessment this time is very dangerous. To be honest, it is very lucky that so many people survived. It is normal for the entire team to be wiped out when taking risks in the Misty Swamp.

The return of Nie Feng made the atmosphere in the team very warm.

Peng Yi told Nie Feng what happened after he lured away the giant eagle and monster bird that day. The team retreated to the camp after losing two members, and then they kept trying to find Nie Feng.

During the period, they encountered several dangers and bumped into other teams, but there was no whereabouts of Nie Feng.

If Nie Feng couldn't wait for these two days, Peng Yi was ready to evacuate.

He must consider the safety of all members.

Fortunately, Nie Feng is safe and sound!

After listening to Peng Yi's narration, Nie Feng also briefly talked about his adventures. In short, he was lucky.

Finally he asked: "Brother Peng, how many demon crystals does our team have now?"

Eight members need at least 80 demon crystals to complete the assessment task - without abandoning any of their companions.

Speaking of this, Peng Yi looked a little depressed: "There are only thirty-nine."

He also had no choice. For the safety of the team, he must not be too far away from the camp. The difficulty of hunting monsters was greatly increased, and it was not easy to capture thirty-nine monster crystals.

Nie Feng said: "Enough!"

Peng Yi was stunned: "What is enough?"

Nie Feng smiled and said: "The number of demon crystals is enough, we can go back!"

He reached into his pocket and took out an animal skin bag and threw it to Peng Yi: "This is my harvest, count it in."

Peng Yi took the heavy pocket and opened it, he was dumbfounded!

There are dozens of colorful demon crystals inside!

Nie Feng said: "There are a total of fifty demon crystals here, I said I'm lucky!"

In fact, his own gains were not that many, and he also consumed some spoils, the bulk of which was obtained from the five aristocratic children.

Peng Yi was overjoyed: "That's great!"

With these fifty demon crystals, plus the thirty-nine in his hand, the total already exceeds the requirement of eighty.

He gathered all the demon crystals together, picked out nine of the best quality and put them back into the pocket that Nie Feng took out, and then returned them to Nie Feng.

Nie Feng was puzzled: "What is this for?"

Peng Yi said in a deep voice: "You fought hard to get this back, and you deserve it. Brothers don't talk nonsense!"

Several other team members nodded in unison, obviously agreeing with Peng Yi's words.

Without Nie Feng, they didn't know how many people they would have survived in the battle with giant eagles and monsters a few days ago.

Now that Nie Feng has taken out so many demon crystals, he should have the extra part due to reason and reason.

It is only right and proper to leave the best few to him!

No one objected!
