Xu Feng put away the broken bronze token and continued walking forward.

This bronze token is very heavy to hold, and its surface is engraved with complex concave and convex patterns. It looks like one-third of a complete token. As too many parts of the patterns are missing, Xu Feng cannot make out what the pattern is, but he feels that it looks vaguely familiar.

At the end of the beast trail is a cave, surrounded by dense spider webs. There are even many wild animal corpses in the spider webs. These spider webs extend from the surrounding bushes into the cave. It looks like the nest of some large spider.

If all the teammates were there at this time, or if Xu Feng was stronger, he might have entered this spider's nest to explore and perhaps gained something, but now is not the best time to explore here.

Xu Feng glanced toward the cave, noted its approximate location in his mind, then turned and left.

After a while, a camp appeared in front of Xu Feng. This was a large gathering place for poachers. One of the clues to the main mission 3, the treasure, was here.

The secret realm of Beast Disaster is considered the home turf of wild beasts. There are many kinds of wild beasts in it, and their numbers are almost endless. There are even ancient dinosaurs like Stegosaurus.

But such a secret place is not without human natives. It’s just that their numbers are insignificant compared to the types and numbers of wild beasts.

It is precisely because of the abundant wild animal resources that many poachers appear around and even establish many strongholds. The one in front of Xu Feng is the largest of all the poachers' strongholds.

Looking from the direction where Xu Feng was, the stronghold was surrounded by tall logs tied together side by side to form a wooden wall. At first glance, it gave people a feeling of being rough, honest and indestructible.

A deep ditch was also dug outside the wall, and quicklime, sulfur and various strong-smelling insect repellents were sprinkled in it to prevent the snakes, insects, rats and ants that were omnipresent from entering the camp.

There are a dozen wooden houses inside the wall, and in the middle there is an especially tall house that looks like a meeting room. There is even a deep well dug on the side of this house. Xu Feng saw that there were many soldiers wearing leather armor and holding spears patrolling in the camp.

Xu Feng climbed into the crown of a dense tree, took out a telescope, and looked inside the poachers' camp.

There were a lot of soldiers in the camp, but Xu Feng did not pay too much attention to the number of soldiers. Instead, he carefully examined the equipment of these soldiers.

"Leather armor, spear..." Xu Feng frowned slightly. This situation was a bit difficult to deal with.

Afterwards, Xu Feng moved his gaze to other buildings. After looking at the buildings in the entire camp, he sighed slightly.

There was actually a barracks and a blacksmith shop in this camp. In the blacksmith shop, one could see that the furnace was burning with fire and more than a dozen blacksmiths were constantly hammering red-hot iron bars. On one side of the blacksmith shop, rows of forged swords were neatly arranged.

"This poachers' stronghold is a bit difficult to deal with!" Xu Feng sighed in his heart.

According to the information provided by the City Defense Office, once the poachers' camps in the Beast Plague, no matter how big or small, are destroyed, they will be refreshed in a few days.

However, the poachers that are refreshed will be slightly different. For example, if the camp in front of you is completely destroyed, the equipment of the poachers that are refreshed again will be different.

In addition to the poachers in front of you who are wearing leather armor and holding spears and daggers, a new type of poacher holding a flintlock rifle will also appear.

Poachers who use flintlock rifles are only slightly better physically than ordinary people, but poachers who use cold weapons can be comparable to secret realm apostles.

If they were poachers armed with flintlock rifles, Xu Feng would sneak in, and as long as he could avoid one of their volleys, he could launch a strong attack, and his chances of winning were very high. Even if some poachers could hit Xu Feng, as long as it was not fatal, Xu Feng would not care too much given his current physical fitness and treatment methods.

But if it were poachers like the ones in front of him who used cold weapons, once Xu Feng was discovered, only three or five of them would be needed to entangle him, and then a dozen more people would be able to surround Xu Feng and kill him here.

In addition to the different poachers, the buildings in the stronghold are also very important. The first is the barracks. The existence of a barracks means that there are many poachers in the stronghold. Fortunately, there is only one barracks in the stronghold in front of us. According to the information provided by the City Defense Office, three barracks will be refreshed when the stronghold is the strongest. Of course, there will be no barracks when it is the weakest.

Another thing is the blacksmith shop. Whether there is a blacksmith shop or not makes a big difference to the stronghold. A stronghold without a blacksmith shop will cause a shortage of weapons for the poachers inside. Only a few poachers will have weapons, while other poachers will use crude weapons such as stone axes and wooden spears.

But with a blacksmith shop base, poachers will be fully equipped and there will be no shortage of weapons. Obviously, a blacksmith shop base will be very unfriendly to secret realm apostles like Xu Feng.

Xu Feng observed carefully for more than half an hour, his face changing from gloomy to bright. Finally, he sighed deeply. Such a large poachers' stronghold was not something he could capture alone. Even if all his teammates were there, it would be impossible to capture this stronghold without suffering certain casualties.

"We can't take risks. Let's go somewhere else and have a look." Xu Feng said to himself.

The clues to the treasure of the main mission 3 are not only in this stronghold, but also in other places. Except for those that are too far away, there are two within one kilometer of this stronghold. Xu Feng decided to go to these two places first.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

At this moment, Xu Feng suddenly heard the roar of a wild beast in the distance, and the roar sounded quite familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

After a while, Xu Feng saw trees in front of him constantly falling down. A group of people actually captured a huge beast and were slowly walking towards this stronghold.

"Stegosaurus?" Xu Feng was stunned. This huge beast was actually the stegosaurus that almost fought with him because of the beast-attracting incense when he first entered the secret realm.

At this time, this huge stegosaurus had huge metal bracelets bound at the ankles of its limbs. Several thick chains connected the four bracelets. Every step the stegosaurus took would make a "clang clang" sound of metal collision.

These chains also bound the stegosaurus, preventing it from taking a step and allowing it to move forward little by little. In addition to the chains on its feet, the stegosaurus was also bound by several iron chains. Each chain was tied to a huge iron ball, and each iron ball weighed several hundred pounds. These iron balls were also locked together, like a big net that covered the entire stegosaurus.

The stegosaurus was pressed so hard that it couldn't even lift its head, and its head almost drooped to the ground. There were twenty or thirty poachers armed with weapons around it. If it walked too slowly, some poachers would even swing whips at the stegosaurus' neck, ankles and other joints that were not covered by bony armor.

"They actually captured a stegosaurus alive?" Xu Feng's face showed an expression of disbelief and surprise, and at the same time, a thought emerged in his mind.
