Today, the sun still shines intensely on this mysterious and dangerous land.
Zhang Baiyun led Chen Feng and the others cautiously forward, but since they did not venture deep into the forbidden area that was feared by all, they merely explored the outer perimeter of the forbidden area.
Furthermore, everyone's activities were always confined to an area within a few kilometers of the camp, like ants wandering on the edge of a giant maze.
It was precisely because of this that they never encountered any powerful and fearsome seventh-grade wild beasts along the way.
Even so, after a full half-day of arduous searching and hunting, the final harvest was not plentiful—only three Rank 8 wild beasts became their prey.
Although these Rank 8 wild beasts are weaker than Rank 7 wild beasts, they are still quite threatening to ordinary adventurers.
However, in the face of the experienced and agile Zhang Baiyun and his team, they ultimately could not escape the fate of being captured and killed.
"Brother, why don't we go deeper into the forbidden area?" Zhang Qingyun asked.
“You’ve forgotten what happened last night. The Black Soil Hunting Group was clearly nearby. If we strayed too far from the camp, they would probably rob us of all our spoils,” Zhang Baiyun said, shaking his head.
“They’re absolutely despicable! Why don’t we find them, fight them, and drive them away?” Zhang Qingyun said angrily.
“There’s no need. Our hunting group’s goal is to make money, not to make enemies. We’ve already had a good haul, plus the two Rank 7 Black-spotted Tigers they lured in last night. There’s no need to take any risks,” Zhang Baiyun said.
“If they’re going to make a move against us, it will probably be within the next couple of days. Otherwise, if they don’t go hunting for a long time, their own martial artists won’t stand for it,” Chen Feng said with a smile.
“That’s right. Let’s be on guard for a couple of days. If they don’t know what’s good for them and actually make a move, we’ll definitely teach them a lesson this time, so they won’t keep showing up and annoy people every now and then,” Zhang Baiyun nodded.
So, for the rest of the long half-day, the group wandered around the campsite.
Although their range of activity was quite limited, everyone remained highly vigilant and dared not stray too far from the camp, even the furthest distance did not exceed ten kilometers.
Because if any unexpected situation or change occurs at the camp, they must be able to return to provide support as quickly as possible to ensure the safety of themselves and their team.
However, to everyone's delight, on this seemingly ordinary afternoon, the god of fate seemed to smile upon them.
Suddenly, a slight rustling sound came from the bushes not far ahead, attracting everyone's attention.
The group cautiously approached, and upon closer inspection, they were astonished to see three beautiful and mysterious neon deer—two large and one small!
What's even more exciting is that, after careful observation and identification, it was discovered that the two larger neon deer were both powerful beings at the seventh rank, while the slightly smaller fawn was at the eighth rank.
This unexpected gain undoubtedly cheered the entire team.
Just then, Zhang Baiyun and Chen Feng rushed out like two bolts of lightning. They were agile and approached the family of rainbow deer in the blink of an eye.
The two worked in perfect harmony, each displaying their unique skills, and instantly restrained the two enormous adult rainbow deer.
At the same time, Zhang Qingyun and Zhou Ping were not to be outdone; they followed closely behind and quickly joined the battle.
The four worked together, their swords flashing and their fists whistling as they engaged in a fierce battle with the two large deer.
Meanwhile, the remaining four eighth-rank martial artists set their sights on the young deer.
They slowly approached in a surrounding formation, their weapons gleaming coldly, clearly preparing to take him down in one fell swoop.
However, unexpectedly, a mysterious black shadow was hidden in the dense forest not far away.
He watched the hunt silently, but made no move to intervene.
Perhaps it was because he knew that the White Cloud Hunting Group was powerful, and that his rash appearance would be of no use.
Despite the shadowy figure lurking in the dark, it did not affect the White Cloud Hunting Group's hunting progress in the slightest.
After a fierce battle, they finally succeeded in subduing all three rainbow deer.
In the end, the group returned home with great joy, having obtained two seventh-grade wild beasts and one eighth-grade wild beast.
"That's enough for today! Brothers and sisters, we can call it a day and head back to camp!" Zhang Baiyun shouted excitedly.
Having just successfully tamed three plump rainbow deer, I am filled with joy and a sense of accomplishment.
At this command, everyone began to organize their tools and move their prey, embarking on their journey home in an orderly fashion.
The journey was filled with laughter and joy, and everyone was very satisfied with what they had accomplished that day.
As night fell, the campsite was brightly lit and bustling with activity. The campfire blazed, illuminating the entire camp.
People sat around the campfire, enjoying a sumptuous dinner.
The sizzling, oily venison was incredibly fragrant, making one's mouth water; the large bowl of strong liquor exuded a rich, intoxicating aroma.
There were also those thick, sturdy bone sticks, which people held in their hands and gnawed on with gusto, not even letting go of the remaining bits of meat on the bones.
The steaming pot of meat soup was incredibly tempting, with its thick and delicious broth that seemed to warm one's heart with every bite.
Everyone ate and chatted, sharing interesting things and experiences from the day.
Some people recounted thrilling battles with wild animals during the hunt, drawing gasps of amazement from onlookers;
Some people talked about trivial matters at home and missed their relatives and friends far away.
In this warm and joyful atmosphere, all fatigue and worries seem to vanish, leaving only a sense of happiness and satisfaction.
However, just five kilometers away from the White Cloud Hunting Group, there was a quiet hillside.
Behind this hillside lies the camp of the Black Soil Hunting Group.
The tents were scattered in a neat and orderly fashion, and several campfires were burning around them, illuminating the somewhat dim area.
Although some members of the Black Soil Hunting Group successfully captured wild beasts and made them into a sumptuous dinner for the evening, the atmosphere of the entire group was in stark contrast to the lively scene.
A heavy and oppressive atmosphere permeated the air, as if an invisible dark cloud was hanging over everyone's heart.
Some members sat silently by the campfire, staring blankly at the flickering flames; others chatted in small groups, their words revealing their worries and anxieties about the future.
The occasional low sighs only intensified the oppressive atmosphere.
