The silent forest is not actually completely quiet, with the cooing of birds, the rustling of insects crawling in the fallen leaves and soil, and the crunching of dead branches and leaves as a line of bipedal upright ape creatures walk.
Even the faint sound of falling leaves seems to be heard as long as you listen quietly and comprehend.
Ever since he awakened his spiritual power through nature sacrifice, John could feel a faint call every time he passed by the forest vegetation. And since he stepped into this dense virgin forest, he felt quite at home.
, even his own spirituality became much more active. At the same time, he tried to turn on spiritual vision and found that even this skill consumed much less spiritual power than usual.
Yes, this group of eight people was exactly the one who set out for the Dragon Claw Forest early this morning, under the auspices of the old mayor, Klaus and everyone else in Rem Town, Deputy Sheriff John, bounty hunter Mark and six federal agents.
member.
Feeling the dragon's claw forest full of vitality, this environment is definitely a forest oxygen bar that was rarely seen in previous lives.
This is exactly the natural environment that people in the reinforced concrete forest longed for in their previous lives.
Originally, he did not want to get involved in the federal police case and venture into the forest personally, not to mention that it also included a political game between the federal government and the three western states. But what Old Mark discovered gave him an incredible thought.
A reason not to go.
So in the face of Mark's statement, John decided to take a risk. Anyway, he had already started to get started with the extraordinary. If he was fully prepared, seven or eight tall and strong federal soldiers could easily solve it.
Moreover, this body is not powerless. Not to mention the police fighting skills that he learned back then, he also practiced unarmed fighting skills and white crow swordsmanship, which are court swordsmanship and military swordsmanship that evolved from the traditional aristocratic knight system.
The most dangerous problem of disorientation when walking in the forest is not a desperate situation for him, because at the critical moment he can also rely on the spiritual ability opened up through the sacrifice of nature to find a way out.
Vision can deceive you, smell can also deceive you, but spiritual induction like the sixth sense cannot.
Even if extraordinary power intervenes, spiritual induction can detect it immediately.
Especially since the forest environment is still half of his home field.
Maybe it was because they had just entered the forest for the first time. So far, John and the others had not encountered any dangerous situations, and they had not even seen a few large beasts.
Occasionally, predators approach, but they are too numerous and the situation is different from most prey. They catch a glimpse and quickly retreat quietly. With John's keen eyesight, he can see that the opponent is probably a large cat.
, in such a densely forested place, human beings simply cannot keep up with the speed of these big cats that can walk on the branches!
Passing through the corner of a "path" in the forest again, I saw that the environment in front of me was wider than the road ahead. At least I could see the morning sunlight shining through the leaves above the sky.
Michael Colson let out a breath of turbid air, turned to the hunter Mark who was behind the team and asked:
"Mr. Mark, how long will it take before we can go deep into the forest?"
During this distance, they were carefully practicing collecting clues and evidence in the forest and wild terrain according to the internal training manual of the Investigation Section. Of course, they couldn't walk fast in this environment.
It's a pity that in this fair nature, let alone any evidence, a complete corpse will probably be disfigured or even taken away and disappeared the next day.
So there was basically nothing gained along the way, which is why John and other people in Rem Town were puzzled by the way these federal agents went deep into the forest to investigate.
After an hour of boring observation, not only did Coulson feel a little restless, except for the four black-clothed agents behind him who were selected from the federal army as investigation section agents and had much higher patience than ordinary people.
Gilly Gibbs, who has always been strong, seemed a little irritable after going through an hour-long journey and seeing repetitive forest scenery.
Only Mark and John had no expressions, and in fact they didn't feel irritated. One was used to walking in the forest environment all year round, and the other felt inexplicably close to this forest and was in a happy mood.
After listening to Colson's question, Mark didn't even look at the other person, but remained alert to those around him and said:
"That's it after we get here. From now on, we may encounter attacks from this forest at any time, so we must listen to my warning, otherwise we will bear the consequences."
The reason why as a guide is the last to fight is because unless there is a sudden encounter with wild beasts in the forest, most predators like to pounce on their prey from behind, so the last person in the team is often the most dangerous one.
Therefore, Mark asked others to open the way in front and let him direct the direction, while he held the line at the end.
At this time, among the six federal agents, the four men in black at the back had expressionless faces for such a long time. They were indeed soldiers who had gone through rigorous training and did not even break a sweat.
But John felt a little confused about this.
It's not like he has never seen anything like the federal army. He even joined the so-called ace Franklin Commando for short-term training during his college vacation.
But in John's view, the ace "special forces" team under the federal government, which only has one battalion in total, is elite only in relative terms. Compared to most of the federal armies at this time, the Franklin Commandos may be very strong, but compared to the previous life
In the country where we are located, not to mention the elite military and armed police, even ordinary police academy students are not as disciplined as they are. They are probably at the level of the military of small countries in Asia, Africa and Africa!
In such an environment, how can the federal army, which is still in the transition stage from a classical army to a modern army, cultivate such truly elite soldiers?
Then it is probably what happened after joining the special agency of the Federal Police Investigation Division.
Just looking at Coulson and Gibbs, although they have a hint of the demeanor of modern workplace elites, compared to the four behind them, they are probably far behind in terms of discipline, physical strength and combat effectiveness.
Perhaps the federal government intends to recruit elite agents from civilian students and the military, intending to serve as leaders and combatants on the one hand?
He glanced at the black-clothed agent again who had no expression on his face and walked in almost the same pace, but was as indifferent as a machine. Combined with the fact that he had just turned on his spiritual vision in the forest and accidentally scanned these four people, he found that their spiritual light seemed to be different from that of ordinary people.
More powerful, but a bit dull. For such a long time, the four of them only said some short words such as "Yes, sir" and "No" to the first two agents. John couldn't help but think wildly.
"Obviously the federal government doesn't have power beyond ordinary people!"
Thinking of the rumors and old American blockbuster stories in his past life, that Citigroup had been researching and cultivating super soldiers, John couldn't help but feel his heart sink.
It seems that the White Eagle federal government, which seems to be a useless force, is not easy to deal with!
