Andre and the others came to the center of the camp, which was located just below the mysterious starry sky crack.
"Follow me." Lin Mokong said, without hesitation, he jumped up, like a vigorous eagle, and rushed directly into the vortex of the starry sky crack above, and his figure disappeared in it in an instant.
Fan Ganglie turned his head and whispered to Felix: "Brother Andre is here for the first time, you must take good care of him." After speaking, he also jumped into the starry sky crack like an arrow from a string. Li Ying did not dare to slack off and followed closely.
Felix said to Andre: "You go in first." Andre nodded slightly, his deep eyes carefully examined the starry sky crack, and after confirming that there was no danger, he resolutely jumped into it.
The moment he stepped into the vortex, Andre felt as if the surrounding time and space were being manipulated and transformed by an invisible giant hand. This strange feeling was very similar to the experience he had every time he entered the cultivation plane. It was not until his body suddenly became lighter and his feet landed steadily that Andre was able to see the surrounding scene clearly. Behind this crack in the starry sky, people came and went, and their figures intertwined. They were all pioneers from other teams.
Andre slowly looked up and saw a clear and boundless star field above his head. Outside the atmosphere, the outlines of planets were looming, with different sizes and distances. It was obviously the unknown star field mentioned by Felix before. The surrounding environment was relatively dark, and it was also night time at this moment. Fortunately, as a bard, Andre's vision was far superior to that of ordinary people. Everything within a range of 30 meters could be clearly seen, but it was a little blurry if he went further away.
Whoosh! A flash of light flashed behind him, and Felix's figure came gracefully. Seeing that everyone had arrived, Fan Ganglie quickly took out a map from his backpack and said solemnly: "This is the latest map that has been explored so far. The area we explored last time was here, and the blood fox was also lost here. Let's go to this area to search first."
When everyone heard this, their eyes all fell on the map, concentrating on recording the information contained in the map at a rapid speed. Andre knew that this map must be worth a lot of money, and he did not dare to be careless. After carefully looking at it for a few times, he memorized all the routes outlined on it. No one knows how vast the world in this starry sky rift is. Andre thought to himself that if it was not a last resort, he really didn't want to get close to the dark areas on the map that had not been explored. After all, the hidden dangers there were like demons hidden in the dark, which made people feel scared.
"Brother Andre, is Li Ying responsible for reconnaissance?" Lin Mokong turned his eyes to Li Ying and asked. Li Ying nodded slightly, and then summoned the bird that was responsible for reconnaissance. With a flick of his finger, the bird quickly dived into the endless night ahead like a flash of lightning.
"How far can you detect?" Lin Mokong asked relentlessly. Li Ying thought for a moment and said slowly, "The farthest is about fifteen miles."
"Fifteen miles..." Lin Mokong frowned slightly, thinking to himself that this distance was far from that of the professional scouts in their team. However, considering that the other party was only a medium-level bard, he felt that he should not ask too much.
He then turned to look at Fan Ganglie and said with a firm look: "Shall we open the way?"
"Yes." Fan Ganglie also had this intention. He waved his hands and muttered something. In an instant, a giant wolf with a dark body appeared out of thin air. This was a bloodthirsty demon wolf beast of the seventh-level bloodline. It was huge and aggressive, especially suitable for fighting at night. Its aggressiveness was off the charts. Looking at its size, it was obviously an adult beast, and it was definitely not comparable to the growing pet beasts used by the students in the academy.
Lin Mokong glanced at the bloodthirsty demon wolf beast, and was not to be outdone. He raised his hand and grabbed it fiercely, summoning a giant python more than ten meters long from the space. This was the Kodosen python beast, also a seventh-level pet beast. This giant python exuded a chilling breath. Although it was a forest python, it was poisonous. Among the seventh-level pet beasts, it was an extremely difficult existence.
When everyone saw the giant python appear, Fan Ganglie and the others couldn't help but reveal a trace of solemnity in their eyes, especially Li Ying and Felix, who were even more fearful and subconsciously stepped back a few steps, unwilling to get close to the giant python. After all, this kind of ferocious and bloodthirsty pet is like a bomb that may explode at any time, and it is extremely easy to get out of control. With their strength, if the giant python suddenly goes crazy and loses control, it is afraid that it will swallow them up in an instant and their lives will not be saved. Although they feel in their hearts that with Lin Mokong's strength, he should not let a seventh-level pet get out of control, but who dares to be careless when it comes to their own life and property? It must be said that the deterrent power of this Kodosen python is really strong. At the moment it appeared, the pioneers of other teams nearby were like frightened birds, and subconsciously avoided it and made a wide road for it.
"Go!" Fan Ganglie shouted in a low voice, his voice like a bell.
The bloodthirsty demon wolf beast and the Kodoson python beast were like two gods of war, running side by side, and in an instant they rushed into the endless darkness in front of them like a gust of wind.
As everyone gradually moved away from the exit camp of the starry sky rift, the darkness around them became deeper and thicker, and the firelight in the camp had long disappeared, as if it was completely swallowed by the darkness.
Since stepping into the starry sky rift, Andre's expression has become extremely solemn and serious, even more so than when he was exploring the cultivation plane. He extended his perception like an invisible net, concentrating on perceiving every move around him, and did not completely rely on the reconnaissance results of Li Ying in the team.
"Brother Andre, there is an unknown star pet ahead." Li Ying suddenly shouted loudly. He could only know the number and size of the star pets based on the information sent back by the flying birds, but he had no way of knowing what kind of star pet it was.
Fan Ganglie frowned slightly. He didn't want to cause trouble at this time, so he asked: "Is there a road nearby that can go around?"
Li Ying heard this and slowly closed his eyes. After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes and said helplessly: "There are star pets on other routes nearby, and there are more than one."
"Then let's get closer and take a look. If it is a high-level star pet, we will retreat quickly." Lin Mokong made a prompt decision and said without hesitation.
Fan Ganglie thought for a while and nodded in agreement. In this simple judgment and decision, his idea coincided with Lin Mokong's.
Soon, everyone approached carefully and saw a star pet as big as a giant elephant drinking water leisurely by the lake beside a forest in front of them.
Fan Ganglie quickly took out a mysterious object similar to a night vision device from his backpack, looked up, and after carefully examining it, he was relieved and said with a long sigh: "It's a sixth-level tiger-scale tapir."
"Kill it directly." Lin Mokong said without hesitation and in a firm tone.
Fan Ganglie nodded in agreement and was about to act immediately. However, at this time, Andre frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong in his heart. Seeing that they were about to take action, he hurriedly said loudly: "Wait!"
"Huh?" Fan Ganglie turned his head and looked at Andre with a puzzled face.
Lin Mokong also frowned, his eyes were like torches, and he also stared at Andre. He had no good feelings for this newcomer who had no experience in pioneering. If Andre couldn't give any crucial reasons, he would ruthlessly suggest that he should remain silent from now on and not speak casually again.
Andre whispered to Fan Ganglie: "Did you really see it clearly just now? That thing is definitely a tiger-scaled tapir?"
Fan Ganglie was slightly startled, then frowned and said firmly: "Although it is night now, I am confident that I can see it very clearly."
"Lend me a look." Andre asked him for the object similar to night vision goggles.
"Are you making trouble for no reason? Or are you a coward and afraid of fighting?" Lin Mokong's face sank, and his cold eyes pierced Andre like a sharp blade.
Li Ying next to him also showed dissatisfaction. In his opinion, Andre's words were clearly questioning the captain's judgment, worrying that it was not a tiger-scaled tapir, but other more ferocious pets. Such behavior was too cowardly. Moreover, he knew that the captain always kept his words, never lied, and would not speak without confidence. Otherwise, they might have died in this dangerous pioneering journey.
Felix was embarrassed when he saw this, so he could only whisper to comfort him: "Brother Andre, the captain will not be wrong."
"That's right." Fan Ganglie also believed what he had just seen, and he did not think that his vision was inferior to Andre's. If he could see wrong, then Andre would be even less likely to see clearly.
Hearing their words, Andre's face suddenly darkened, like a dark cloud. When it came to his own life, how could he give in or be polite? His eyes were deep and cold, like the water in a cold pond. He stared at Lin Mokong without any emotion and said coldly: "Cowardly? Are all pioneers as blind and reckless as you, rushing forward without thinking?"
Lin Mokong's face changed slightly, and a trace of astonishment and anger flashed in his eyes, "What did you say?" If Andre's cold eyes had not been like an electric current, instantly hitting his heart and making him tremble slightly, he would have been furious and drawn his sword on the spot.
Andre's eyes were cold, like solid ice that had not melted for thousands of years, without a trace of temperature. "You should carefully feel the temperature around you. In this season, if I remember correctly, tiger-scale tapirs will not go out easily. Moreover, tiger-scale tapirs rarely drink water, and mainly rely on eating small insects to replenish the water needed by the body. Even when extremely thirsty, they will choose to eat plants to replenish water. This is an omnivorous star pet, and its habits are very different from the behavior of the star pet in front of us."
When everyone heard this, they were stunned, as if they were struck by a thunderbolt, and stood there in a daze. Feeling the slightly cool breeze around them gently brushing their cheeks, several people were shocked and suspicious, like a mess.
Fan Ganglie stared at Andre, with a hint of doubt and inquiry in his eyes, "Are you serious?"
"Do you think I'm kidding you at this moment?" Andre responded coldly, and the cold eyes seemed to penetrate Fan Ganglie's soul.
When Fan Ganglie met Andre's gaze, his heart beat slightly faster for no reason. He felt that Andre beside him was like a different person. At the pioneering base, Andre seemed very peaceful and friendly, but now his eyes were as cold as if he was examining a cold corpse. Is this really a novice who has never participated in the pioneering operation? Andre's doubt was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing a storm in everyone's heart. Who is this star pet that looks like a tiger-scale tapir? Is Andre's judgment correct? And how should they choose the next move? Should they continue to attack according to the original plan, or re-examine the situation? All these questions, like heavy fog, shrouded everyone's head, making people full of endless curiosity and expectations for the subsequent story, and eager to know the answer.
