When Chen Feng found his comrades from the other reconnaissance companies, he discovered that they were hiding in a cave in the mountains.

The cave is hidden between two huge, dark blue rock walls.

The rock face is covered with erosion lines of varying depths, as if it had been gnawed by an ancient torrent, rough and ferocious.

The entrance to the cave is covered with dense, dark green vines, the surface of which is covered with fine hairs.

Even the most powerful beasts with exceptional senses would have difficulty spotting it without careful observation.

...

At this point, the original ten-person Earth-rank reconnaissance team had been reduced to only seven people.

Two of them were killed directly by the sharp spikes of the giant beast Black Roar, while the other disappeared inexplicably during the transfer here.

What's even more alarming is that two of the three Earth-rank combatants hired to protect the reconnaissance team have perished, leaving only Chen Feng from the 0516 team alive.

So the surviving investigators engaged in a heated debate about what to do next.

"The danger level of this area is definitely no less than that of a Heavenly Realm expert; that's my conclusion," one of the investigators said.

The reconnaissance company commander had a stern expression.

His right hand, however, was tightly gripping the communicator that could be used to make emergency calls—the only device for contacting the rear base.

"We still need to gather as much ecological information as possible here to ensure that our people can minimize casualties when they set foot here."

The company commander's voice was hoarse but firm.

"But it's the company commander!"

The scout who had just spoken suddenly raised his voice, his chest heaving violently.

"We've already lost three people just coming down here, including two Earth-rank combatants... We've both witnessed the terror of Black Fear. Given the rank of our reconnaissance company, if we continue deeper, I think... it's very likely that none of us will return!"

His words immediately resonated with the investigators!

Another older scout chimed in in a deep voice, "I agree. This is what those bastards from the Exploration Department did. We can't be the ones to suffer the consequences."

"I just checked the density of giant beasts here. This investigation mission is definitely not something our single Earth-rank reconnaissance company can handle."

"Exactly!! Who knows what kind of terrifying beasts might be lurking around here? The fact that two Earth-rank experts have perished isn't enough to show how dangerous this place is?"

It was clear that almost half of the scouts were unwilling to continue their missions.

The reconnaissance company commander also fell silent...

Just then, Chen Feng stood up and offered his explanation.

"I completely understand your concerns."

Chen Feng's voice wasn't loud, but it carried a penetrating calmness that instantly silenced the team members' noisy discussions.

"Two Earth-ranked comrades have fallen, and three have been lost. This price is too heavy. Anyone would feel fear in this situation, but this is the risk we have to take. If we go back now, what will others think of us? Will our lives be any better because of this?"

Chen Feng paused, his gaze sweeping over each face filled with resentment and fear.

Just then, the reconnaissance company commander added, "The duty of a reconnaissance soldier is never just to consider his own safety... The Exploration Department's decision may have had oversights, but more compatriots will inevitably set foot on this land in the future, and we cannot just leave like this."

Their words acted like a shot of adrenaline, stabilizing the previously noisy situation.

They knew perfectly well that if Chen Feng and the company commander didn't allow a retreat, then any retreat by these people would likely be considered desertion!

"Since Chen Feng and the company commander have said so, I will stay at my post..."

"Stand firm at your posts, we have no way out." A previously silent scout stepped forward and said firmly.

"Everyone, you can go and rest now. Tomorrow we will officially implement the new reconnaissance plan." The company commander sighed and said...

After all the scouts had fallen asleep.

Chen Feng, however, stood guard beside the cave entrance, gazing at the night view outside.

The night view of this desolate wasteland is anything but gentle; instead, it exudes a chilling eeriness and danger.

The night sky was shrouded in thick, dark purple clouds, making it difficult for even starlight to penetrate. Only a few faint halos of light floated on the edges of the clouds.

It was a phosphorescent glow unique to the wasteland, yet it shone with an ominous, cold hue in the darkness.

In the distant, withered forest, the faint, chilling roars of beasts could still be heard.

Having seen this, Chen Feng gave one last check of the traps he had set outside the cave, and then inspected the cave for any potential hazards...

Chen Feng finally sat down next to the trap at the cave entrance and waved to open the interface of the Lucky Contract System.

I opened the "Weiyang" app...

......

Unlike Bai Fei's hunting world, Wei Yang's other world appears to be a desolate city, but it is actually an extremely dangerous arena.

This city is teeming with all sorts of bizarre and mysterious creatures.

Even though Wei Yang has advanced to the Earth Rank with Chen Feng's help, she still has to abide by all the rules of this competitive city...

At this moment, Wei Yang was wearing a dark coat.

I sat on a bench at a deserted bus stop.

The hem of her dark coat was lifted by the dry wind of the arena city, then quietly fell back down, just like Wei Yang's calm and undisturbed expression at this moment.

He leaned back on the rusty bus stop bench, his eyelids slightly lowered, his long eyelashes casting a small, pale shadow beneath his eyes, obscuring the sharpness that should have been in his eyes, leaving only an almost indifferent vigilance.

Even in a deserted sports city.

Wei Yang's expression showed no sign of distress.

Until that familiar figure appeared in front of him...

At this moment, Chen Feng was dressed in the uniform of a reconnaissance team, but his figure, like Wei Yang's, had a physical form in this world.

"Chen Feng, I've gathered enough materials and am ready to ask the manor managers to unlock the Moon Clan," Wei Yang said with a smirk.

Chen Feng nodded, but his eyes held a hint of pity.

Because he knew very well how lonely Weiyang was at that moment...

"That's good. I'll help you restore this city to its former state as soon as possible, and then you'll be free..."

Just then.

Suddenly, layers of indistinct mist began to spread in the distance.

Soon, a bus that had never actually existed emerged from the fog and slowly drove toward the bus stop where Wei Yang and Chen Feng were.

Wei Yang stood up and walked to Chen Feng's side.

"What brings you here this time?" Wei Yang asked.

"I came here this time to visit the estate manager with you, and also to witness your first achievement," Chen Feng explained.

Wei Yang's gaze had just landed on the non-physical bus that was emerging from the mist.

Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, he turned his head to look at Chen Feng. The surprise on his face did not last long, and the corners of his lips, which had been slightly pursed, gradually softened.

"Don't expect me to thank you. I ended up in this godforsaken place because of you..."

"I have no hope. This is something I owe you," Chen Feng said frankly.
