Chapter 23 The Unexpected

Meng Xiang sat down in a tent in the camp.

The night in Fanwu Mountain was so dark that people were a little overwhelmed. There was no light in the whole valley, and Meng Xiang could only see the scene beside the campfire in the camp.

His teammate disappeared mysteriously, which made the exhausted Meng Xiang unable to sleep at all.After he sent a few messages in the team channel to no avail, he could only stare at the fire in a daze.

"Crack!"

Not far from the camp, suddenly there was the sound of branches snapping.This tiny voice seemed so crisp and abrupt in the endless darkness of Mount Van U.Meng Xiang stood up cautiously, listening to the source of the sound with both ears.

"Pa-ta, pa-ta..." After that sound, Meng Xiang could hear continuous footsteps, as if the person or thing that made the sound had given up hiding his behavior.

"It seems to be a person." Meng Xiang concluded.

His eyes were always fixed on the direction of the source of the sound, and his hands were clenched into fists to deal with any unexpected situation.However, the man was in the dark forest, and Meng Xiang couldn't see him at all.

"Cough cough." Suddenly there was a coughing sound in the darkness ahead.Meng Xiang was happy at the moment, but a little nervous.Is this person in front of him a student like himself, a soldier from the imperial capital, or "someone else"?

Thinking of this, Meng Xiang suddenly felt that he was too careless.So he secretly hid behind the tent, ready to confirm the identity of the visitor.

"Ahem." A man's figure suddenly appeared from the darkness.He was covered in dust, his hair was disheveled, and even his face was covered by the mud.If Meng Xiang hadn't recognized his student's identity through the body armor, he might have been a savage from the mountains somewhere.

"Which team are you from?" Meng Xiang hesitated for a moment, and finally stood up from behind the tent.He stared at the man in front of him, afraid that he would make some crazy move.

"Meng...Brother Meng?" The man rubbed his eyes, his face full of surprise.

"You are?" Meng Xiang stared carefully at the person in front of him.Although the dirt covered his true face, Meng Xiang vaguely guessed the identity of the person in front of him from the features between his brows.

"Chen Tiantian?"

Even Meng Xiang felt a little unbelievable when the name was called out.

"Why are you here?" Meng Xiang felt that too many strange things really happened that night, and he had to figure out why Chen Tiantian appeared here.Otherwise, he might suspect that this is some lonely ghost pretending to be his roommate to play tricks on him.

"I thought twice, and signed up at the last moment when the time was about to expire." Chen Tiantian added firewood to the fire, and said helplessly: "On the night of signing up, I decided to go home and meet my parents first. In case If something unexpected happens in the sky, I can say hello to them."

"I stayed in my hometown for one night, but I got up late the next day. By the time I arrived at the place where you gathered, the last bus had already left."

"I told them my name and my team number. Unexpectedly, for some reason, they didn't register me at all. I had to find the school again and let me register. The teacher typed out a certificate, but it was noon when he was too busy."

"By the time I got near Fanwu Mountain, it was already twelve o'clock in the afternoon." Chen Tiantian pouted.He took out a bag of military rations from the large backpack on his back, tore it open, and heated it up.

Meng Xiang suddenly recalled that since he entered Fanwu Mountain in the afternoon, it seemed that he hadn't had a bite of food at all.At this time, Chen Tiantian reminded himself, he also took out the military rations, and sat by the fire to fiddle with it.

"And then?" Meng Xiang asked while heating up the white rice.

"Then I entered Fanwu Mountain alone." Chen Tiantian said with a sigh of relief, "They asked me to wander around the periphery and try to find my own team members. But I don't know where the periphery is and where there are players."

Meng Xiang suddenly didn't know what to say.He pointed to the communicator on Chen Tiantian's waist, motioning for him to open it.

Chen Tiantian pressed the switch suspiciously, and after the start-up screen ended, Chen Tiantian was stunned on the spot.

"Damn! Why didn't anyone tell me I can still use this thing?" Chen Tiantian scolded.It seemed that he had suffered a lot in order to find his team members.

Since no one has introduced the usage of the communicator to him, he naturally doesn't know the function of the mysterious body armor on his body.Meng Xiang gave her a detailed introduction to the buttons on the body armor's waist from left to right, but it wasn't until this time that he realized that Chen Tiantian's gleaming golden armor had already had a few scratches out of thin air.

"What have you experienced?" Meng Xiang asked, pointing to the long paw prints on Chen Tiantian's chest.

"Ah, I met a fifth-level black clouded leopard. The beast jumped out of the bushes in front of me. If it hadn't been caught on this broken armor, I would have died now." Chen Tiantian sighed, Then he turned his head again, and asked Meng Xiang with a thief smile: "What is the origin of this armor? I know the power of the fifth-order black cloud leopard, which is the king-level among the fifth-order spirit beasts. Don't talk about it. The claw hurt me, and I didn't even feel any pain."

"The latest product of the Imperial Technology R&D team." Meng Xiang smiled.

Because of his spider-sensing bloodline characteristics, he has never experienced the defensive power of body armor against these ferocious spirit beasts.Hearing Chen Tiantian's description now, Meng Xiang couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

"So you still failed to find the members of the third team in the end?" Meng Xiang sipped his saliva and frowned.

"Yeah." Chen Tiantian sighed, "But it's good to find you, the boss. By the way, where are your team members, Boss?"

"That's exactly what I want to say." Meng Xiang smiled wryly.He dug out the message record on the communicator and showed it to Chen Tiantian, and played the tape again.Unexpectedly, that kid Chen Tiantian didn't dare to listen any more after hearing half of it.

"Let's discuss this matter again during the day." Chen Tiantian said happily.

Later, under the joint discussion of the two, they decided to take turns to be on duty.In this way, everyone can also have a good rest to deal with various emergencies during the next day.

Meng Xiang was on duty until three o'clock in the morning, and then Chen Tiantian continued to be on duty until dawn.

No matter how strong a warrior's body is, he still cannot miss the link of sleep.It's just that the rest time they need is much shorter than ordinary people.

Meng Xiangyao woke up Chen Tiantian, and quickly got back into the tent.

In his mind, there are still two bloodlines of spirit beasts waiting for him to transform.
