"If the army moves out, the commotion is too great. Before our people reach the foot of the mountain, those cunning bandits would have already slipped into the deep mountains and forests and disappeared."
After a pause, a trace of helplessness appeared on Dai Hao's face.
"As for sending small elite units..."
"We have tried that too."
"But among this bandit group, the strength of that Evil Soul Master leader is quite impressive, and his methods are vicious."
"The few reconnaissance squads we sent, in the end... only their corpses were sent back, and the state of their deaths was extremely miserable."
"For ordinary Spirit Master armies, dealing with such Evil Soul Masters results in too many casualties."
"Therefore, I had to ask the Academy for help."
"Only an elite Spirit Master team like you, with strong individual combat capabilities and tacit cooperation, can carry out a 'decapitation operation' in that complex terrain and completely eradicate this malignant tumor!"
Dai Hao's words were reasonable and logical.
After listening, everyone suddenly realized.
A bit of complacency appeared on their faces.
This Duke of White Tiger actually knows his stuff.
He knows we are "special forces".
"Understood."
Ma Xiaotao, who hadn't spoken yet, nodded, her eyes burning with intense Battle Intent.
"Since these animals are so arrogant, we will send them to Hell!"
Dai Yueheng also stepped forward, performed a military salute to Dai Hao, and said in a deep voice:
"Father, rest assured, the Shrek Supervisory Group guarantees to complete the mission!"
Looking at this group of vibrant, confident young people.
Dai Hao also nodded with satisfaction.
"Good!"
"Then I will set up a victory banquet here and wait for your triumphant return!"
Bidding farewell to Dai Hao.
Everyone left the military camp and set off in the direction of the Ming Dou Mountain Range.
As soon as they left the range of the military camp.
Xuan Zi, who had been following behind the team like an invisible person, suddenly stopped.
He took a swig of wine, wiped his mouth, looked at everyone's backs, and said calmly:
"Everyone stop for a moment."
Everyone quickly stopped and turned around.
Xuan Zi's gaze became serious, losing its previous laziness.
"The mission of the Supervisory Group is not just to kill the enemy, but also an exercise for you."
"I won't accompany you on the rest of the road."
"I will hide in the shadows and observe."
Xuan Zi held up a finger and shook it.
"Unless you truly encounter an irresistible life-threatening danger, otherwise, I will never make a move."
"But, once I make a move, it means that your supervision mission this time—"
"Failed!"
Xuan Zi said the last two words very heavily.
For Shrek students, the word "Failure" is harder to bear than death.
It is a trampling on honor.
"Yes! Elder Xuan!"
Everyone agreed in unison, their expressions becoming a bit more solemn.
Ming Dou Mountain Range.
The mountains here are steep and the rocks are rugged.
Although the vegetation is dense, it exudes a gloomy dark green, as if it hasn't seen the sun for years.
The air is filled with a faint smell of decay.
As everyone went deeper, this oppressive feeling became stronger and stronger.
Huo Yuhao walked in the middle of the team, his brows locked tightly together.
His Spiritual attribute Spirit made his perception far exceed that of ordinary people.
From the moment he stepped into this mountain range.
In his Spiritual Sea, there had been a faint, persistent stinging sensation.
That was his sixth sense warning of danger.
"Something is wrong..."
Huo Yuhao murmured in a low voice.
"What's wrong, Yuhao?" He Caitou, beside him, asked in a low voice.
"Senior Brother He, I have a very bad premonition."
Huo Yuhao looked at the gloomy valley ahead, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes.
"The smell of blood here is too strong."
"Moreover, since that Evil Soul Master could kill the elite squad sent by the army, it means he is definitely not just a simple Spirit King."
"His methods might be even more bizarre than we imagined."
He Caitou nodded, his expression also somewhat solemn.
As a top student of the Soul Tool Department, he trusts data and preparation more.
"Then we have to make some preparations."
The two looked at each other and quickly reached a consensus.
Soon.
