Night, Magpie Bridge Mountain

The four-man team of the Demon Suppression Department was walking through the forest under the bright moonlight. Walking in front was Sun Xiang, a Taoist priest holding a compass.

"How's it going? Did you find anything in the ghost compass search?" Tang Sanping, the captain who followed behind, asked with a serious face.

"According to the compass, there are indeed many ghost beasts gathered here, and the space crack should be on this mountain."

Sun Xiang nodded and told his findings.

"Okay! You come to show the way and move towards the place where the ghost beasts are densest. The space cracks are right there."

After Tang Sanping issued the order, he turned around and looked at the two people behind him.

"Li Qing, Li Xin, this is your first official mission, so be careful."

"I understand, captain!" Li Qing nodded seriously.

"Don't worry! Captain Tang, I am a genius of the Tianhe Sect, there will be absolutely no problem." Li Xin said confidently.

"..."

Tang Sanping took a deep look at the lively girl, shook his head gently, and said nothing more.

A few minutes later, the four of them encountered the first batch of ghost beasts blocking the road, a dozen huge ghost pigs.

"Ready to fight!"

Tang Sanping shouted loudly, stretched out his hand and took out his weapon, a long black stick as thick as a baby's arm.

He is a lay disciple of Jinshan Temple. He follows the path of physical cultivation and often leads the way in battles.

After seeing the captain rushing towards the ghost beast, Sun Xiang took out several yellow talismans. After activating his magic power, the talismans turned into several fireballs the size of human heads and shot out.

Bang!

The fireball arrived first and was ahead of Tang Sanping, blasting a ghost pig into charcoal.

Whizzing!

There was a sound of breaking through the air, and Li Qing also took out his weapon, which was a foldable mechanical crossbow. Arrows were shot out continuously, and each shot accurately hit the eyes of the ghost beast.

Bang bang bang!

With the assistance of his two teammates, Tang Sanping kept swinging the long stick in his hand, and each blow could make a ghost pig's brain burst.

After a while, more than a dozen ghost pigs were all killed, leaving the group unscathed.

"These ghost beasts are so weak, it's never my turn to take action!" Li Xin, who had been watching the show, said dissatisfiedly.

"It would be best if you, Xin'er, never take action."

After hearing her words, Li Qing put away his weapon and said with a smile.

His sister's frontal combat ability is not strong. She specializes in a series of auxiliary abilities such as strengthening and healing, so she didn't take action just now.

As the four of them went deeper into the mountains and forests, the ghost beasts they encountered became stronger and stronger and more numerous.

After once again wiping out dozens of ghost beasts, the group of people had consumed more than half of their mana and had to stop and take a rest.

"Sun Xiang, something is wrong!"

Tang Sanping was gnawing on the dried meat presented by the villagers of Taoyuan Village, and looked at the young Taoist priest sitting opposite with a serious expression.

"That's right, the group of ghost beasts just now was actually composed of three types: ghost pig, ghost wolf and ghost leopard. This is really unreasonable."

Sun Xiang nodded, with an ugly expression on his face.

As we all know, ghost beasts are bloodthirsty and cruel creatures that devour each other, so it is impossible for them to mix with other groups.

"What Captain Tang and Brother Sun mean is that there is a stronger guy behind the scenes?"

After hearing what they said, Li Qing asked in surprise.

"It's very possible, so to be prepared for the unexpected, we will have to wait until our mana is fully restored after each battle before taking action."

Tang Sanping nodded and adjusted the team's action strategy.

After resting, the four of them continued to take action. Due to the change to a steady and steady approach, their progress was much slower than before.

Waiting until the moon was at the top of the sky and midnight was approaching, the four of them arrived in front of a cave according to the instructions of the ghost search compass.

"Sun Xiang, report the situation!"

"Captain, according to the compass instructions, there are hundreds of ghost beasts gathered in this cave. The strongest ones should have the strength of the black-clothed ghosts."

After Sun Xiang carefully stared at the compass in his hand for a while, he told the situation in the cave.

"You can't be wrong! The space crack is definitely in the cave!"

Tang Sanping nodded and looked at his three teammates with a solemn expression: "We have two options now. One is to leave directly, report the situation to our superiors, and wait for reinforcements to arrive before taking action."

"The second is to go in now, confirm the situation of the space crack, and see if we can find a way to destroy it."

"Tell me what you think!"

"Captain, I think it's better if we go back and ask for help."

Sun Xiang was the first to express his opinion: "Although you and I are both high-level Qi-refining gods, and Li Qing and Li Xin also have the intermediate-level Qi-god transformation abilities, there are too many ghosts and beasts in the cave, and accidents are easy to happen."

As a senior who has experienced many dangerous missions, he feels it is better to be cautious.

"I support Brother Sun's opinion. It's better not to take risks or not to take risks." Li Qing also expressed his agreement.

"But if we wait for others to come over, the merit points we can get will be much less! I also want to quickly upgrade to a bronze guard like the captain!"

Li Xin was a little reluctant. If the four of them could complete this task alone, they would definitely gain a lot of merit points. It would not be impossible to directly upgrade to a bronze patrol.

There are five levels of patrols in the Demon Suppression Department, from low to high, they are black iron, bronze, silver, gold and ace.

The monthly salary of guards at different levels varies greatly, and the higher the level, the more attention they receive in their respective sects.

Therefore, every disciple of the sect who joins the Demon Suppressing Division will try to improve his level as soon as possible, because in this way he can learn more advanced techniques and secrets in the sect.

After hearing what the girl said, the other three people's eyes lit up and they made a decision in their hearts at the same time.

"Xiao Xin is right. How about we try to enter first, and if it really doesn't work, then ask for help?"

As soon as Tang Sanping said this, the other three people nodded.

"Yes, as long as we are prepared, if nothing else, there will be no problem in escaping."

"That's right! With two seniors here, it should be fine."

"That's right! Wealth can be found in danger, let's give it a try!"

After reaching an agreement, the four of them began to organize all their equipment and prepare for the upcoming battle.

"When we enter the cave later, we will all divide our work. I will be in front to withstand the attacks of the ghost beasts, and Sun Xiang will use range attacks to reduce their number as quickly as possible."

"Okay! This time I will bleed a lot and use the treasured talisman!"

"Li Qing pays attention to the sneak attacks of those small ghost beasts, and immediately kills them with a crossbow after discovering them."

"I know, I won't let those guys hurt everyone."

"Xiaoxin, your mission is the most important. After giving us assistance, you must find the location of the space crack as quickly as possible."

"No problem, leave it to me!"

"Okay! Start taking action! Be careful!"
Chapter completed!
