What a dog leg

Zhang Zheng, standing beside him, heard Xiang Yin's words and cursed, "How truly shameless!"

He hadn't expected Xiang Yin's skin to be this thick.

Everyone didn't say anything more; they turned around and headed forward.

However, this time they moved in a single file line. Zhang Zheng walked at the very front, and Ye Chen followed behind him, holding onto Zhang Zheng's lapel.

The others followed behind in the same manner.

Gun Gun walked alongside them, directing their path.

"You're off course! To the left, to the right, you're off again! Sigh!"

Gun Gun walked to the side, sighing repeatedly.

It took the group two whole hours to cover the short distance of two kilometers.

Upon walking out of the smog zone and seeing a forest, everyone finally let out a long sigh of relief!

"We finally made it out. I thought we were going to get stuck in there today, that we were going to be done for!"

"Yeah, it really scared the life out of me!"

Everyone couldn't help but feel a lingering sense of fear.

Looking at the forest that stretched out endlessly before them, everyone was stunned.

This forest was very strange; despite the heavy snowfall, some of the trees remained green.

Although the ground was covered in a thick layer of white snow, all kinds of plants were still growing.

These plants were also colorful.

The trees were tall, the weeds were overgrown, and some plants were even several meters high.

"Why does this forest look so strange? It gives me a very dangerous feeling."

"I feel it too!"

"Roar!"

"Howl!"

Suddenly, bursts of roaring sounds came from the depths of the forest.

Startled by the roars, flocks of birds flew over their heads in droves.

Gazing at the boundless forest, the group hesitated to take another step.

Just then, the Monster Chat Room lit up. It was a separate group chat containing sixty-nine people.

The sixty-six of them were all in it, along with three others: Tian Luo, Supreme, and one person whose information was not revealed.

Tian Luo sent a message: "Have you all arrived?"

Xiang Yin replied immediately: "Reporting to Lord Tian Luo, we have arrived. I am currently the person in charge. Under the leadership of Zhang Zheng and myself, we walked out of the fog and arrived at a forest. This forest is quite strange."

Seeing the message sent by Xiang Yin, everyone couldn't help but sigh.

"This dog, he really knows how to gild the lily. It sounds like it was all his credit!"

One person couldn't help but curse.

Tian Luo sent a message: "Well done, good job. Record the terrain features there, and also record the monster information. Send it to this group immediately. Remember, send it to this group the first chance you get."

Xiang Yin immediately replied: "Received!"

The others followed suit and replied: "Received!"

Tian Luo tagged Xiang Yin: "Lead the team well, and return in a month!"

Xiang Yin was instantly overjoyed!

Ye Chen, however, was filled with confusion. Why did Tian Luo want them to record these things? Recording the terrain was understandable, but what was the point of recording the monsters?

Hong Ye also shook her head in confusion.

Xiang Yin coughed and said, "Everyone has seen it, right? This is the task Lord Tian Luo has entrusted to us; we must do it well! Furthermore, Lord Tian Luo has placed the team in my hands. You must all obey my arrangements. If you do not comply, you will be dealt with by military law!"

Everyone rolled their eyes at Xiang Yin, clearly unconvinced by him.

This kind of person, this kind of sycophant, is disliked everywhere.

Now, Ye Chen finally understood how Xiang Yin became the captain of the First Battalion.

Meng Fan suddenly spoke up: "Since Lord Tian Luo said we should return in a month, why don't we just wander around this forest together and report whatever monsters we happen to find? That would be relatively safer."

As soon as Meng Fan said this, everyone immediately agreed!

They didn't want to risk their lives.

"Nonsense! Lord Tian Luo sent us here, is it for us to just slack off? Is this how we should report? Since we are here, we should do our job properly, not just half-ass it!"

Meng Fan was instantly enraged: "What the hell are you? You think too highly of yourself! Do you believe I can beat you until even your own parents wouldn't recognize you?"

"You dare!" Xiang Yin suddenly took out a camera and said, "Let me tell you! I'm recording everything in detail! If you dare to say one more word of nonsense, I'll report you to Lord Tian Luo immediately. Watch out for military law!"

Xiang Yin threatened sharply.

It must be said that this tactic was quite effective; Meng Fan instantly fell silent.

Seeing this, Xiang Yin became even more smug.

"Hmph! The same goes for all of you. Within this month, I will record everything clearly and hand it over to Lord Tian Luo. Your every action will be recorded in here. As for how you behave, that's up to you!"

Xiang Yin said, half-threatening and half-coaxing.

Everyone glared at Xiang Yin fiercely and stopped talking.

Clearly, they were quite afraid.

"What a total sycophant, a real bootlicker!"

"I'm so unlucky to have run into this guy!"

"What a piece of trash! Just wait, when we go back, see how I fix him. If I don't knock his teeth out, I'm a loser!"

Someone cursed in a low voice.

Ye Chen looked at Xiang Yin helplessly; this guy was going further and further down the path of courting death.

Just then, Gun Gun tugged on Ye Chen's sleeve and said, "Boss, I found something good about four kilometers behind us. Should we go take a look?"

Ye Chen thought about it and finally decided to go take a look; it would be a perfect opportunity to slip away from the team and stay far away from this place of trouble.

Ye Chen patted Hong Ye's shoulder. Hong Ye turned around, and Ye Chen waved his hand, signaling Hong Ye to follow.

Hong Ye followed Ye Chen, quietly leaving and heading into the depths of the forest.

Fortunately, the two of them were already standing at the very back of the group, so no one noticed them leaving.

Two minutes later, they could no longer see the people behind them.

Hong Ye asked in a low voice, "What's wrong, Junior Brother Ye Chen?"

"Let's just act on our own. Following them isn't really working out. Gun Gun found something good, so we're going to check it out."

"But, what if Xiang Yin finds out? If he reports it when we go back, we'll be in trouble," Hong Ye said, still somewhat worried.

Although Ye Chen's elders had told him since he was young to follow the rules and obey orders.

Unfortunately, Ye Chen had never listened to his elders since he was a child.

Ye Chen said nonchalantly, "What's there to be afraid of? When we go back, we'll just say we got separated. If nothing else, we can just record things as we go, and as long as we report what's required when we return, it'll be fine."

Hong Ye thought about it and nodded, "That's true. Following an idiot like Xiang Yin will get us killed sooner or later. It's safer for us to act on our own."

Ye Chen smiled with satisfaction.

Gun Gun was clearly very happy, dashing around on the snow.

What Ye Chen didn't know was that there was one more person following them.

Zhang Zheng was quietly following behind Ye Chen and the other, trailing them all the way.
