Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In the afternoon, at the entrance of the camp.

The officer guarding the door looked at him suspiciously.

“You’re going in this afternoon? Not waiting for tomorrow? Right now?”

Lin Bai raised his head and looked at the officer calmly.

“Of course. Is there a rule that says we can’t go in now?”

The officer froze.

There were naturally no such rules in the military camp, but no one would enter before they were familiar with each other under normal circumstances.

They would ask around first.

The officer turned on his side and handed them a map.

“This is the map. Just cross the river. You must press the rescue button if your life is in danger. Don’t be rash.”

Lin Bai blinked and looked up at the steep mountain opposite him, but he still did not look nervous. He snapped his fingers at Wu Yue and the others and said softly, “Let’s go.”

The six of them crossed the river ditch and entered the mountain.

At this moment, it was springtime. Flowers bloomed all over the mountains and wilderness. Tall trees were covered in layers of green leaves, blocking the sunlight. They also blocked the light.

Lin Bai’s lips curled up.

“No wonder Origin Beasts like to live in the deep mountains. This is very suitable for them.”

Lin Bai broke off a piece of wood and pushed open the mountain path.

The side of the mountain path was filled with shrubs and thorn flowers covered in barbs.

Lin Bai’s hand would be pricked if he was not careful.

However, he would not feel any pain from that.

He ate the Body Tempering Pills often. Some small wounds could no longer do anything to him. Moreover, these wounds would heal extremely quickly.

Lin Bai looked up at Wu Yue.

“Wu Yue, what’s our mission? Is it here already?”

Wu Yue lowered his head and turned on the communication device, only to realize that there was not a single message.

Wu Yue shook his head.

“No, they didn’t send any missions. They should send them tonight.”

“Captain, where are we going now?”

It was the first time Lin Bai addressed Wu Yue’s name directly. He was still not used to it but Wu Yue accepted it well and had already entered his state.

Lin Bai touched his nose.

He looked down at the map.

“Let’s find an empty space, set up a tent, and light a fire for the night. There should be wild animals in the mountains.”

Lin Bai looked up at Wu Yue and said in a relaxed voice.

“Maybe we can have a better meal here than in the camp cafeteria.”

Lin Bai’s words seemed to be teasing, and no one took it seriously.

On the other hand, Li Tongwen was very interested and his eyes were filled with excitement.

“Boss, you know how to cook? What delicious food can you make on this mountain?”

Lin Bai only smiled but did not say anything. He led them up the path and found a slightly flat slope.

There were tall trees all around the slope, almost covering the sunlight, leaving only some light and shadow, indicating that it was still daytime.

Lin Bai nodded.

“Let’s do it here. Let’s set up a tent. I’ll see if there’s any wild game nearby and catch a couple of rabbits.”

He broke a wooden stick at the side and led Li Tongwu into the forest.

An unknown roar could be vaguely heard from the forest, accompanied by the melodious sound of flowing water in the distance, making it look inexplicably strange.

Li Tongwu was inexplicably afraid. He looked up at Lin Bai and followed him closely. He said softly to Lin Bai, “Boss, this place is so strange. I keep feeling that it’s not safe!”

Lin Bai was not afraid.

He listened carefully to the sounds coming from inside. It was very chaotic; he could even hear faint bird cries occasionally.

Lin Bai gripped the wooden stick tightly and raised his eyebrows at Li Tongwu. “Do you want to eat sparrows?”

Li Tongwu subconsciously looked around with a blank expression.

“Where would it come from? There weren’t any when we came in just now!”

Lin Bai smiled.

“Just watch!”

He wanted to see if he could really hear the sound of the bird clearly. Could he really know what species it was just by relying on this weak cry of a bird?

This thought flashed across Lin Bai’s mind, and he did so.

He silently chanted the incantation of the Puppet Control Technique in his heart. His finger divided a portion of his mental strength and fused it into the wooden stick.

The wooden stick immediately left his hand with a thought and flew steadily northwest.

Lin Bai grabbed Li Tongwu’s hand.

“Come with me!”

Li Tongwu was still a little confused, but he trusted Lin Bai completely and let him pull him along the wooden stick.

Lin Bai’s movements were extremely agile. He did not look at the ground at all, but seemed to know what was on the ground. The wood lying horizontally and the mud and swamp were avoided by Lin Bai.

Even Li Tongwu’s clothes were very clean and did not get soiled.

Li Tongwu admired Lin Bai even more!

BANG!

Lin Bai suddenly stopped in his tracks. Li Tongwu was caught off guard and almost collided with Lin Bai’s back. He had just stabilized his body when he heard a sound.

Li Tongwu’s eyes widened!

He saw a big sparrow strung on the wooden stick in Lin Bai’s hand just now. The sparrow flapped its wings indignantly, but it was ruthlessly thrown to the ground and fell to its death!

Lin Bai’s eyes lit up!

It was done!

This was the first time Lin Bai had done it, even though this distance was not considered far and was only a few minutes away!

The benefits the Body Tempering Pills brought to Lin Bai were actually so great.

Moreover, his puppet technique seemed to be getting stronger and stronger. Previously, he had to see the target to control it.

However, now, he could control his mental strength to attack targets at will.

Waves surged in Lin Bai’s heart.

He suddenly realized that this might become his advantage in this competition!

Li Tongwu happily went forward with the wooden stick and was extremely excited.

“Lin Bai is too awesome! How did you do it? Can you teach me!”

Lin Bai blinked.

He smiled at Li Tongwu and patted his shoulder.

“Did you cash up the Puppet Control Technique?”

Li Tongwu choked.

His voice was a little dejected as he said indignantly to Lin Bai, “No, I’ve been reading fervently before I came but I didn’t cash up any of them in the end.”

Li Tongwu sighed.

“Looks like I’m unlucky! I’ll read it a few more times when I get home!”

Lin Bai smiled.

“Then I’ll teach you when you cash up. Now, let’s catch a few more rabbits. I already know what to do.”

As soon as Lin Bai finished speaking, he immediately turned around and left along the path, following the sound of the water.

He could always catch a few fishes even if he could not get any rabbit.

However, he did not expect a huge figure to barge in after walking for a few minutes!

Li Tongwu’s voice was filled with panic.

“An Origin Beast!”
