In the corner of the alley, a tall and thin man with a cap stood there quietly, looking in the direction of the association's entrance.
On his shoulder, a black crow was also looking at the association's entrance, staring at Song Xiaomei and the others.
The black crow was different from normal crows. Its body was very stiff, and its eyes were gray, giving off a deathly stillness. It did not have the nimbleness of a normal creature at all.
Being stared at by such a strange combination was obviously not right.
Song Xiaomei and Qin Yue were not like girls who would easily offend others. They would not make enemies with others.
On the contrary, Hei Niu who had just joined made people suspicious.
First, she had paid a high price for the porcupine carcass the previous day, and they had coincidentally met her this day.
The key point was that she had joined the Dawn Team very smoothly. It went a little too smoothly.
This made people suspect that Hei Niu might have some kind of motive. Maybe it had something to do with the man in the cap.
What should he do?
Li Xuan's eyes narrowed. He thought about whether he should stop this mission, but after some thought, he decided to continue.
First, in order to avoid alerting the enemy, second, the Agricultural Area was very close to Black Rock City, and there were other hunting teams.
Thirdly, Li Xuan was confident in dealing with the crisis, because the crow was a Black Iron Rank Summoned Beast and was not very strong.
Therefore, Li Xuan gently jumped onto Qin Yue's shoulder and used God's Perspective to monitor the man in the cap.
"I announce that the Dawn Team has set off!"
Song Xiaomei's voice suddenly rang out. Li Xuan turned his head and saw Song Xiaomei raising her fair hands and giving out orders arrogantly.
With her appearance, she really did look like a captain. However, her small face was a little immature. It lacked a bit of momentum and was a little adorable.
"The three of us can ride on the big black bear. Its back is very wide. It's enough for the three of us to sit on. We can also arrive at the mission location faster," Song Xiaomei suggested.
"Okay, okay." Qin Yue nodded happily. She was even looking forward to it.
"Feng Zuo, Feng You, you guys ride the Wind Wolf."
"Okay."
A moment later, the team set off and quickly walked toward the city gate.
Hmm?
Li Xuan suddenly looked at the sky. The black crow was flying in the sky and silently following them.
Even when Li Xuan and the others walked out of the city, the crow still followed them. It had no intention of giving up.
"Kitty, what's wrong with you?"
Qin Yue noticed that Li Xuan was a little vigilant. She blinked her big eyes in puzzlement and asked.
"Meow~"
Li Xuan meowed softly. He did not say anything but looked at Hei Niu, who was next to him.
There was nothing unusual about Hei Niu's expression. It was the same as before. It seemed that she had nothing to do with the man in the cap.
However, they still had to be careful. One could not tell the heart from the face. No one knew what the other party was hiding.
Under such observation, the group slowly arrived at the mission location, which was the farm area.
"There are so many people. Are these people hunting the Fat-Headed Mice?"
Qin Yue stood by the farm and asked in surprise when she saw a group of young people shouting and killing the Fat-Headed Mice.
"Yes, Fat-Headed Mice are the best prey for newbies. As long as a mission appears, it will attract a lot of people..."
"You guys are quite lucky. There wasn't such a mission yesterday, but it appeared today."
Hei Niu smiled and explained as if she had done many missions to hunt the Fat-Headed Mice
"The Fat-Headed Mice is quite cute, a bit like a groundhog," Song Xiaomei said curiously.
"Yes, it is a mutated groundhog. It is particularly harmful. It likes to dig holes in the farmland and steal food. It reproduces very quickly and is very hateful."
"This farmland is one of the four major farmland in Black Rock City, and it's an important source of food for Black Rock City. There mustn't be any mistakes..."
Hei Niu continued to explain the harmful information of the Fat-Headed Mice.
"I see. It seems that we have to take care of these fat-headed mice. They're too harmful." Song Xiaomei was eager to try, and she pulled out the short knife at her waist.
Qin Yue, who was beside her, also pulled out the short knife. She skillfully made a cut, as if she had learned some related skills.
"Today, we must make our mission a success! Good luck."
After saying that, Song Xiaomei called the big black bear and rushed toward the mouse cave not far away.
When they reached the surroundings of the mouse cave, she immediately ordered the big black bear to pat the ground around the cave.
Bang, bang!
A dull sound rang out, and the mouse cave trembled slightly. Soon, more than ten Fat-Headed Mice jumped out of the cave and fled in all directions in fear.
"Kill!"
As Song Xiaomei shouted, the battle began, and everyone fell into a chase.
These Fat-Headed Mice were very clumsy and were very timid creatures.
As long as someone hit the ground around their cave, they would run out in fear and flee in all directions.
Roar!
The two Wind Wolves howled as they chased after the Fat-Headed Mice. As they were good at speed, they soon caught up to the Fat-Headed Mice and began to bite them.
However, surprisingly, the Fat-Headed Mice's defense was very strong. It took a lot of effort to bite one to death.
Fortunately, the Fat-Headed Mice did not dare to attack. It only knew how to run and did not pose any threat. That was why everyone chased after it without restraint.
However, after killing the Fat-Headed Mice for half an hour, they were so tired that they were gasping for breath. Song Xiaomei even sat down on the ground in an undignified manner. She was completely exhausted.
"These Fat-Headed Mice are too hard to beat up. They are fine even after seven or eight slashes. Moreover, they are running back and forth. It's too infuriating," Song Xiaomei said angrily.
"It is indeed infuriating. We only killed nine of them after chasing them for half a day." Qin Yue was also gnashing her teeth in anger. Her small face was dirty. It was obvious that she had suffered a defeat.
"Everyone, don't be discouraged. Our killing speed of the Fat-Headed Mice is already very fast. Look at them. Those people can't even reach half of us."
Hei Niu covered her mouth and smiled as she pointed at the young boy and girl in the distance.
"It's true!"
Song Xiaomei's eyes lit up when she saw the scene in the distance, and she instantly felt motivated again.
"We have a Black Iron Rank Summoned Beast, two extremely fast gale wolves, and my eagle. They are all experts in killing Fat-Headed Mice..."
"So we hunt the fastest. As long as we persevere, we will definitely be able to kill the most Fat-Headed Mice," Hei Niu continued to explain.
"Yes, yes, that's true. Song Xiaomei nodded. She felt that this was really the case.
"Captain, why isn't the Wind-Winged Cat making a move? Its speed is very fast, and it is the natural enemy of mice. If it makes a move, its hunting speed will be even faster."
The twin, Feng Zuo, walked out and asked in confusion.
"This..."
Song Xiaomei was stunned when she heard this, and she quickly said again.
"The Wind-Winged Cat is still in its infancy, and its body is relatively weak. It needs to leave enough strength to heal, so it can't fight."
"If that's the case, then fine." Feng Zuo did not say anything and only glanced at the Wind-Winged Cat that was standing quietly.
"Alright, let's continue." Hei Niu noticed that the atmosphere was a little stiff and immediately suggested to continue hunting the fat-headed mouse.
"Alright."
Song Xiaomei hurriedly nodded. She held the short knife and rushed out in a hurry.
Roar!
The big black bear roared and waved its two bear paws to slap the fat-headed mouse.
The big black bear was relatively big and slow. It appeared very clumsy, but its tyrannical strength could kill a fat-headed mouse in one or two slaps.
In addition, it had to keep slapping the ground, scaring the fat-headed mouse out.
It could be said that the big black bear worked the hardest. It was so tired that it even stuck out its tongue.
The big black bear worked hard, and the Wind-Winged Cat stood quietly, forming a strong contrast. Even some of the hunting teams in the distance pointed at the Wind-Winged Cat and whispered.
Li Xuan completely ignored them, because he was using God's Perspective to lock onto the black crow.
Not long ago, the crow suddenly split into two crows. One of the crows flew away, and it was unknown what it was doing.
However, Li Xuan felt that nothing good would happen, so he blocked in front of Qin Yue and pointed at her pocket.
