After breakfast, the pig-headed warriors left the camp one after another.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead walked out of the dormitory holding a weapon and walked towards the entrance of the camp.
"Where are you going today?" The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain asked when he saw his friend preparing to go out.
The place where the spirit stone mine appeared has been explored twice, and both times it was found. Therefore, the pig-headed man captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead plans to go there again today to see if he can get anything new.
"Then please pay attention to safety on the road." The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain warned his friends who were preparing to travel.
"Don't worry! I've been there twice, and this third time I'm familiar with it." The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead said, then left the camp and walked towards the exit of the valley.
The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain looked at the departing figure until the other party completely disappeared, then he looked away, then turned around and returned to the dormitory.
"Click."
Opening the door of the cabinet, the handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain took out the communication device. He came to the table and sat down, then activated the communication device.
More than ten seconds passed before the pig-headed logistics captain responded.
The golden light screen floating in mid-air showed his figure. When the handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain saw his superior appearing, he quickly greeted him respectfully.
"Hello, my lord."
"Yes." The pig-headed logistics captain nodded slightly, then looked at his men and said.
"What's the matter?"
The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain asked, "Sir, you said before that you would report to higher-ups through other channels. Now that several days have passed, I would like to ask how things are progressing?"
"There is no reply at the moment. It may take a few more days for an answer..." the pig-headed logistics captain said.
"Oh." The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead thought to himself that this speed was really slow, and nodded.
"Is there anything else?" the pig-headed logistics captain asked.
The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain shook his head and said, "No more."
"Okay, that's it for now. I still have some things to deal with. I'll let you know when there's news later," said the pig-headed logistics captain.
The communication device hung up, and the golden light curtain floating in mid-air disappeared instantly.
"Alas..." A sigh sounded in the quiet room, and the handsome pig-headed logistics captain raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, with a sad look on his face.
Before contacting his superiors, the handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain thought there would be some news, but the result was not ideal.
"I have a bad feeling."
"I hope nothing happens."
After putting away the communication weapon, the handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain left the dormitory and came to the camp's warehouse.
The pig-headed warriors harvested a lot of things yesterday, but they haven't had time to check them yet.
Opening the door of the warehouse, the handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain walked in. He first checked some necessary items, and then moved to the food area to rummage.
After a while, he saw bucket after bucket of salted bacon.
As the temperature increases, fresh meat cannot be stored for a long time, so it must be marinated with salt.
The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain looked at the barrels of bacon in front of him and knew that it had been marinating for several days.
Now, the bacon exudes a very special smell, not to mention unpleasant, and it will be ready to eat after a while.
"team leader."
There were shouts outside the warehouse, and the handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain heard someone calling him, so he left the warehouse.
The person calling was the chef. When the person saw the handsome pig-headed logistics team leader, he ran over without stopping.
"Why are you so anxious?" The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain asked doubtfully, wondering if something big had happened.
"Captain, we've run out of salt. I wanted to tell you last night, but accidentally forgot," the chef said with shame.
"It's not a big deal to run out of salt. There's no need to worry about it. When they come back at noon, I'll arrange for a few people to collect some salt..." The handsome pig-headed logistics team leader said with a smile.
After chatting with the chef for a while, and after the other party left, the handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain came outside the camp.
When I came to this place before, I built a camp here and cleared the surrounding weeds.
After so many days, the weeds that were originally cleared grew back again.
Some of the weeds growing around the fence are more than one meter high. If they are not cleared away, they may exceed the height of the fence.
"Arrange some people to cut these weeds tomorrow." The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics team leader wandered around some areas where weeds grew very vigorously and decided to go.
According to the rules and regulations, weeds must be cleared regularly around the built camp to prevent the weeds from becoming a hiding place for some enemies after they grow vigorously.
The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain patrolled the perimeter of the camp and then walked toward the source of the creek.
This creek in the valley could have been used as a water source to draw water directly, but since the scent appeared, all the pig-headed warriors ran outside the valley to fetch water.
The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain walked forward slowly. When he got close to the creek at a certain distance, he suddenly smelled the unique fragrance wafting in the air.
There are still some subtle differences between this kind of fragrance and ordinary floral fragrance. It smells a bit greasy and will make you sick if you smell it too much.
Of course, this kind of nausea is not a reaction to poisoning. If it were a reaction to poisoning, the handsome pig-headed logistics captain would have already marked this area as a forbidden area.
"Strange, why does the scent feel a little lighter than yesterday?"
The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain was very keen on scent, so he smelled it carefully and discovered the difference.
When you come to the source of the creek, you can see that the water is extremely clear and flows downstream in an orderly manner.
The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain stood by the creek and thought about it carefully. As usual, he still found nothing unusual.
At this time, the fragrance of the clear stream is still there, blown further by the occasional gust of wind.
The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain raised his head and looked at the cliff, and suddenly saw some purple flowers growing one after another on the cliff.
"If I remember correctly, there were no purple flowers in this location before."
The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain thought seriously and found that he had no memory of the purple flowers at all. It was obvious that these flowers had just grown in the past few days.
Such a large area has grown in such a short time, and it is still on the cliff, which gives people a very unusual feeling.
"Is it possible that the fragrance of the stream is caused by these flowers?"
The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain couldn't help but have some associations at this time, and it was quite difficult to confirm them.
"Go up and pick some flowers and see what's different about them."
The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain muttered, and then he took a few steps forward, reached out and grabbed the protruding stone on the cliff, and slowly climbed up.
In the early morning, the moisture in the valley was very heavy, and there was a lot of fog at first. As the sun rose, the fog dissipated.
But even if the fog dissipates, the stones on the cliff are still a little silky. If you are not strong enough, you will not be able to climb to a height of tens of meters.
The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain spent a lot of effort and arrived at a position more than ten meters away from the purple flowers.
Next, he only needs to move forward a little further to reach them.
There are no rocks in front of me to grab, so I have to think of another way if I want to go further.
The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain looked around and found a few hanging vines not far away, which made his eyes light up immediately.
After a while.
The handsome-looking pig-headed logistics captain came down from the cliff. After landing, he reached into his arms and took out several purple flowers.
"The fragrance of this flower is exactly the same as that of the stream. It seems that the two are closely related."
…………
Near the edge of the forest, there is a human stronghold under construction.
There are a lot of machines operating at the moment, leveling the ground and then dumping some trees dug out of the ground to other places.
The planned distance is not large, because in the plan, this stronghold is mainly used as an outpost to guard against threats from outside the forest.
This threat mainly refers to the men of the pig-headed lord. Although the two sides have reached a peace agreement and do not violate the river, they must be on guard against others, so after discussion, this plan was made.
An excavator digs out a raised area in the ground, then transports the excess soil to a pit and fills it up.
As time goes by, the area of land that has been leveled is getting larger and larger.
In a few days, when the ground is all leveled, we can start building a place to stay.
"The mung bean soup is ready. Let's take a break and come over and drink some mung bean soup to relieve the heat."
The logistics staff shouted loudly, and the busy excavators stopped one after another. The drivers got off the excavators one by one and walked quickly to the place where mung bean soup was distributed.
"Tons, tons, tons..."
The driver picked up the bowl and drank a large bowl of mung bean soup in one go. Then he picked up the wet towel hanging around his neck and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"It's really hot today!"
"The temperature at the edge of the forest is a bit high, and the heat is unbearable."
"Thinking about how the sky was filled with snow before and now the sun is shining brightly, the change is really amazing."
"After I finish the construction of this stronghold, I will take leave and go back to Blue Star to have a good rest..."
The driver was chatting while drinking mung bean soup. Their current location was under a big tree. The huge shade of the tree lowered the temperature, making people's bodies and minds a little cooler.
In the distance, some investigators can be vaguely seen standing guard, guarding against possible attacks by strange beasts.
Nowadays, the number of strange beasts attacking the stronghold in the forest has gradually decreased, and the pressure on the investigators who defend the stronghold has dropped sharply.
However, near the edge of the forest, attacks by strange animals still occur frequently.
Most of these strange beasts that actively attack are active outside the forest.
Sometimes he accidentally enters the forest and upon discovering an investigator, he will become very manic and attack violently.
Now everyone agrees that the alien beasts outside the forest are more emotionally unstable than the alien beasts inside the forest.
"Captain, let's have some mung bean soup!" A girl with her hair tied into a ponytail came to a young man with a serious face.
"Thank you." The young man took the mung bean soup from the other party.
"Captain, I heard that after this stronghold is built, you will stay here for a while."
"Yes, I will stay on duty when the time comes. You don't have to stay with me. You will return to the base camp with the masters."
"Captain, can you let me stay here..."
"You can't stay."
"Why?"
"Because this place is an outpost, the chance of encountering danger is quite high. If you want to stay here, you must be at least at the beginning of the third stage of strength."
"So that's it! Then I'm really out of luck."
While the two were chatting, several burly strange beasts appeared in a place outside the forest.
These strange beasts are tall and strong, and their six legs are very strong.
"Roar……"
The leading beast suddenly stopped and turned around to shout to the younger brother behind him.
The little beast brother, who was originally listless due to the sun, saw his boss getting angry, so he cheered up and quickly followed.
The leading beast took his little brother closer to the forest in the distance. When they entered the forest, they continued to move in a certain direction with a clear destination.
"Wow, wow, wow..."
Several mountains are close together, and a stream winds down from the mountains. The clear stream water collides with the stones, and the sounds it makes echo in the endless forest.
When a small group of strange animals saw the creek, their eyes lit up and they quickly ran to the creek, then lowered their heads and drank.
After drinking a lot of water, his belly grew rapidly. After drinking a lot, the beast lay down on the grass and let out a comfortable cry.
Where this small group of strange beasts originally lived, there was no rain for a long time, which caused many huntable creatures to flee.
Not only were they hungry because they couldn't catch food, but the water sources for drinking water also dried up, this forced this small group of strange beasts to find other places to settle down.
The leading alien beast took a group of alien beast brothers to migrate for many days, and finally found this place with abundant water.
Now that the members have drank water and relieved their thirst, it is time to find prey to fill their stomachs.
Although alien beasts are more resistant to hunger, they have their limits.
After so many days, after the starving beast drank the water, its hunger suddenly exploded, and now its eyes were glowing green.
"Roar……?"
The leading beast sniffed the air and immediately discovered that prey was nearby.
After it determined its direction, it called a few times to its little beast brother who was resting on the grass.
Then, this small group of migrating animals left the stream and followed the direction where the smell of prey came.
"Buzz..."
The spiritual weapon trembled and sounded an alarm. The faces of the investigators who were drinking mung bean soup suddenly became very serious.
