The sequence is too involutional, luckily I am too.

"Something interesting?"

Lu Ya's eyes suddenly lit up. The last time the detective made such a discovery, it directly helped him eliminate the hidden danger of Wei Xu.

So what kind of surprise will the detective bring him this time?

After careful consideration, the detective decided to sneak inside and take a look.

As expected, the detective did not disappoint Lu Yan and took immediate action.

After a thorough search, the detective finally located the target, but was unable to open it.

Unwilling to leave empty-handed, the detective found a secluded corner to hide in and quietly observed the surrounding movements...

"Can't open it?"

Lu Yan was taken aback when he saw this. It seemed that the object was extremely important to Mu Yun, which was why it was hidden so carefully.

However, this only further proves that the items inside are extremely valuable.

"Let's wait and see, there will always be an opportunity."

Lu Yan closed the panel, calmed his mind, and began meditating again.

"Still cultivating at this hour? Is Lu Yan really that lazy?"

Seeing Lu Yan's appearance, Yu Qi couldn't help but complain, but Cao Meng gave him a hard knock on the head.

"Little Fish, if you were half as serious as Lu Yan, you might already be a Sequence 7!"

Cao Meng glared at Yu Qi, then pointed at Yu Zheng, who was reading a book nearby, and said, "The development of Big Fish is already more than halfway done. If you keep going like this, you'll be dumped by your brother!"

"My progress isn't slow either, and it's Xiaoxiao who's been slacking off, isn't it?"

Yu Qi argued back, unconvinced.

"Yu Qi, what do you mean? Believe me or not, I'll punch you to death!"

Seeing herself being dragged into this for no reason, Han Xiaoxiao immediately flew into a rage and was about to have a full-blown fight with Yu Qi.

"Alright, stop arguing, we're about to enter the gray fog."

Cao Meng glanced at the swirling fog outside the window and promptly spoke up to stop them, changing the subject.

Upon hearing the gray fog, the two immediately stopped their playful antics and looked solemnly out the window.

Even Yu Zheng, who was immersed in his books, couldn't help but look up and carefully glance out the window.

Although they were all superhumans and this wasn't their first time carrying out a cleanup mission, they still maintained a high level of vigilance and aversion towards the gray fog.

Lu Yan, however, had long been accustomed to this environment and remained immersed in his cultivation.

The convoy sped forward, and the surrounding fog grew thicker and thicker, enveloping the vehicles like a solid substance, reducing visibility to less than a few meters.

Every now and then, eerie sounds would emanate from the gray fog, like a sinister laugh or a wail, sending chills down one's spine.

They have entered the dense fog zone.

After driving for about half an hour, the convoy slowly came to a stop.

"We've arrived. Everyone, get out of the car and get ready to set up camp." Cao Meng was the first to push open the car door.

"So early? Aren't you going to clear out the monsters first?"

Han Xiaoxiao frowned, her face full of doubt.

"Several researchers on Muyun's side are too weak and can't handle it."

Cao Meng offered an explanation, but this only made Han Xiaoxiao and the others even more disdainful.

"He's clearly afraid of dying and doesn't dare to go too deep..." Han Xiaoxiao muttered to herself.

"Xiaoxiao?"

"Captain, I'll go prepare to set up camp right away!" Han Xiaoxiao immediately fell silent and quickly turned around to get busy.

At Cao Meng's command, the Seventh Squad sprang into action.

Since he was new to the place, Lu Yan naturally didn't give him any special treatment and helped him set up camp.

However, he could still sense the hostility coming from Chen Ye from time to time.

On the other hand, the fifth squad did not notice anything unusual.

None of the three squads were new to the dense fog zone. They each set up camp in their armored vehicles, arranged in a triangular formation, so that they could provide immediate support to any of the squads in trouble.

Before long, the camp was set up, and the captains of the three squads each took out a totem and planted it around the perimeter of the camp.

Lu Yan keenly noticed that the gray mist in the areas where these totems appeared had dissipated considerably, and even the eerie sound had weakened.

"This is a wondrous totem crafted by the shamanic sequence. It can dispel the gray fog and eeriness to some extent, making it an essential item for missions."

Seeing Lu Yan's curiosity, Yu Zheng explained softly, "However, this thing is quite valuable, and most small teams can't afford it."

Lu Yan suddenly realized, noticing that Yu Zheng was holding a book the whole time, and asked, "Yu Zheng, do you really enjoy reading?"

"It's not just liking, it's obsession!"

Han Xiaoxiao quickly answered, "This guy spends most of his time reading, except when he's eating, sleeping, or doing missions."

"I dare say that none of those so-called academics have read as many books as Yu Zheng."

"No...not that many."

Yu Zheng scratched his head somewhat shyly, but did not completely deny it.

Having received confirmation from the two, Lu Yan immediately became interested and asked, "Then, Yu Zheng, do you know about the Sound of Nature?"

"The sounds of nature?"

After a moment's thought, Yu Zheng quickly gave his answer.

"I read in a book that it can only be heard through a special ritual, and it is only used in certain sequences related to nature."

"Which book is it? Can you tell me the title?"

Lu Yan's eyes lit up. He had spent the past few days in the Judgment Department's library, but due to the limited time, he had not been able to find any records about the Sound of Nature.

He even asked the librarian, but the librarian wasn't sure either.

The library has a vast collection of books, and the librarian can only classify them, not know the details of each one.

He never expected to get a clue from his temporary teammate.

"No need for that trouble, Brother Lu. I can write it down for you right now if you want."

As he spoke, Yu Zheng took out paper and pen from his robe and began to write from memory on the spot.

"The ritual isn't complicated, but it requires the use of extraordinary plants, and it hasn't been attempted for many years, so there might be risks involved."

Soon, Yu Zheng handed Lu Yan a piece of paper covered with writing.

"Isn't this complicated?"

Han Xiaoxiao and Yu Qi felt a headache coming on after just one glance. They were about to say something more when Cao Meng picked them up one by one.

"You two, get out there and patrol the area! Don't slack off here!"

Cao Meng looked at Lu Yan and Yu Zheng and said, "Yu Zheng, Lu Yan, you two rest first, and then take turns with them later."

"it is good."

Lu Yan nodded slightly and eagerly crawled into his tent to start trying it out.

Although the written description is very complicated, the ritual itself is actually very simple.

Following the description on the paper, Lu Yan placed the three small plants around him, then took out his phone and set a one-minute alarm. Afterward, he made a strange hand seal with both hands and muttered incantations.

Suddenly, a peculiar rhythm quietly entered his ears.

Calm, peaceful, gentle... Is this the sound of nature?

Lu Yan felt increasingly peaceful and even had the idea of ​​settling down here and spending the rest of his life in peace.

But as soon as the thought crossed his mind, he was suddenly jolted awake.

Forest rangers detected a strong odor of pollution and frantically issued warnings!

[The teacher notices a strange force affecting your mind and immediately confronts it.]

Martial artists, refusing to be outdone, ignite their unwavering martial spirit and assist their teachers in resisting erosion!

The Qingfeng Meditation Technique attempted to intervene, but was completely ignored by the strange force.

The detective has not yet returned...

Even from just the words, Lu Yan could still sense the danger from just now, and he couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.

According to Yu Zheng's description, listening to the sounds of nature should have been completely safe, so why did he have such a thought?

This seemingly harmless sound of nature was subtly distorting his will.

Is Yu plotting against him?

A flash of murderous intent appeared on Lu Yan's body, but he quickly dismissed the guess.

If Yu Zheng truly harbored hostility, his martial will should have issued a warning long ago. It's highly likely that the ritual itself had hidden dangers, or... what he heard wasn't the true voice of nature at all!

[Forest Ranger Promotion Requirement 3: Listen to the sounds of nature for one minute (Completed)]

It's actually finished? So that strange rhythm just now really was a sound of nature?

Lu Yan's feelings were somewhat complicated. Although the outcome was assured, the process had been quite thrilling.

If future promotions require facing such dangers, that would be a bit troublesome.

The forest ranger sensed pollution in the sounds of nature, and his faith began to waver...

Lu Yan: "WTF?!"
