"Everyone, get off the bus! From here on, we'll be walking. This is where our training begins!"
Zhu Penghai opened the car door and got out, then turned around to get something from the trunk.
"Our target this time is this mountain!" Zhu Penghai said as he unloaded things from the car, pointing to the mountain behind him that was several hundred meters high. "This is called Tieling Mountain. The most rampant creature here is the black-horned boar. These are wild boars that were awakened by spirits. After the catastrophe, the black-horned boars slowly emerged from the deep mountains and began to roam Tieling Mountain."
"Captain, how about we go somewhere else? This place is really creepy!" Qian Kai looked towards Tieling Mountain, his expression full of apprehension.
Jiang Yuan was a little curious. This Tieling Mountain looked very upright and peaceful, and there was no creepy feeling about it at all.
"It's nothing, so what if a few people died? It's not that scary!" Zhu Penghai waved his hand.
"Those are they? An entire village died here!" Qian Kai exclaimed, horrified.
"The whole village?" Jiang Yuan frowned, looking somewhat incredulous.
"That's right. There's a village at the foot of Tieling Mountain called Tieling Village, with a population of over two hundred. But on the first night of the disaster, everyone died tragically, with no survivors! On the third day after the disaster, someone discovered this place. Because a lot of people came, even though many died here, those people still stayed in that village in order to go up the mountain to kill black-horned boars!"
"And then, guess what happened?"
Qian Kai stared at the group with a strange expression.
“Someone was crying at night, and the sound was terrifying!” Qian Kai began to answer himself. “And when they woke up during the day, everyone said that something had happened, but the crying they heard was not exactly the same.”
"Some people say they heard a woman crying, others say they heard a child crying, and still others say an old man whispered in their ear. In any case, everyone heard crying. Isn't that strange?"
"Qian Kai, you've got nothing better to do, haven't you!" Xiang Yeyun walked over and slapped his hand. "Trying to bewitch people here!"
"I'm just stating the facts!" Qian Kai seemed eager to stir up trouble.
"No one was hurt, but we heard some unusual sounds! And this is a valley, so maybe the changes in the Earth's magnetic field after the cataclysm caused some strange sounds to be recorded near Tieling Village." Xiang Yeyun raised her fist. She knew that Qian Kai was just trying to scare the others.
"No one got hurt because they were scared away early this morning. If they had stayed any longer, who knows what strange things they might have seen!" Qian Kai muttered, holding his head.
“None of us are ordinary people, and we need to learn to adapt to the current environment.” After unloading everything, Zhu Penghai closed the trunk and walked up to the group, saying, “This world has become unknown, and someone has to explore it. We were born in this era, so we must be prepared to be pioneers!”
"Captain, when did you become so enlightened!" Qian Kai looked at Zhu Penghai with admiration.
"I've always been very conscientious, you just haven't noticed!" Zhu Penghai distributed the items on the ground. "Everyone, come and get the supplies. We'll head into the mountains right away and try to get back in a day. It's really not safe to spend the night in the mountains!"
Jiang Yuan looked over and saw that the so-called supplies consisted partly of special forces rations such as compressed biscuits and drinks, and partly of firearms and ammunition. As mentioned before, they were not honest people who fought by hand at all.
The ground was littered with pistols and grenades, and the rest were homemade high explosives, with two bags of TNT, one large and one small, lying quietly in the corner.
The smaller ones weighed only one kilogram, while the larger ones weighed a full ten kilograms. The explosives were wrapped with a large number of steel balls using duct tape, a method designed to inflict maximum damage on the monster horde.
TNT is relatively stable when it is not heated, which is why the group dared to take it out like this, but the amount of ten kilograms still surprised them.
"Remember, everyone, try not to use firearms to kill monsters. That defeats the purpose of our training." Zhu Penghai looked at the guns. "Take them yourself; these are quite effective at saving your life!"
Almost everyone except Xiao Xin picked out food and weapons.
Zhu Penghai took a small TNT container and said, "Everyone, remember this: once the damage from a gun to a monster exceeds 50%, it will no longer drop any cores. And even if the damage is less than 50%, the probability of dropping a core will be greatly reduced. So everyone should keep this in mind!"
"Understood!" everyone replied.
The group blocked the car with tree branches and set off towards Tieling Mountain. Just as Zhu Penghai had said, the black-horned pigs were rampant, and they saw their first black-horned pig not far away.
"Black Horned Boar, Tier 3 Common Monster, Strength: 10."
This ordinary item was so powerful that even Ning Yanlan's perception could detect its strength, let alone Jiang Yuan's Heavenly Eye.
Jiang Yuan didn't make a move. This time, he came out more to gain a deeper understanding of this world than to fight the core. He has many cores, but his most important task at the moment is to awaken the spirit.
Only after awakening the spirit can he fully utilize the Heavenly Eye to open the core. Just like the cores he got yesterday, he didn't open any of them. This is because there are indeed Armor Fragments in the Unknown Series. However, even with the Balance Messenger's passive ability, the probability of getting Armor Fragments from the large number of treasures in the Unknown Series is terrifyingly low. It's better to save them and open them all at once after awakening the spirit to maximize the benefits.
"Let's work things out first!" Zhu Penghai suggested.
Xiong Yong nodded, and the others had no objections. Although Ning Yanlan wasn't interested in this ordinary third-tier black-horned boar, she didn't want to spoil everyone's fun, so she agreed to work on it.
