Chapter 182 Facing the Difficulties

Legend has it that Shengmiao conquered the world under the leadership of Chi You, the leader of the Jiuli tribe. He formed an army of beasts by virtue of his beast-control skills and made great achievements in battle. After Chi You was defeated by the combined forces of the Yellow Emperor and Yandi tribes, Shengmiao lived in seclusion in the millions of mountains in the south, isolated from the world. , lived a life of slash-and-burn farming, and the art of beast control was passed down. The most shining example in history is Meng Huo during the Three Kingdoms period, who used elephant soldiers in seven rounds of battle with Zhuge Liang.

Of course, these are just legends and should not be taken as true. Luo Zheng heard it from his grandfather when he was a child. At that time, he simply listened to it as a story and didn't pay attention to it at all. However, because the story was too mysterious, Luo Zheng still remembered some of it. He didn't expect to see it in person today. After seeing this scene, my mind was a little sluggish and I couldn't react.

"What's going on?" Lan Xue asked worriedly when she saw Luo Zheng's slow reaction. She was obviously shocked by what happened just now. It was shocking that the ferocious wild wolf actually obeyed people's orders.

"Stop asking, just do as you say." Luo Zheng woke up a little more, and his grandfather's instructions from back then echoed in his mind: Zhengzi, our ancestors have been hunters for generations, and we are the sworn enemies of the beast-controllers. These words They are all handed down from our ancestors. I tell you according to the rules. If you really encounter such a person in the future, you should hide as far as you can, let alone let out a word. This is the rule of our great hunters, so remember it.

Luo Zheng didn't know why his grandfather didn't let the secret be leaked, but after seeing the wolf queen who could control beasts, Luo Zheng knew that it might not be simple. There are too many unsolved mysteries in this world, and there are also many things that cannot be touched. Since the elders If people say this, then follow it.

Seeing that Luo Zheng was unwilling to say anything, Lan Xue thought for a while and didn't ask any more questions. She picked up the phone and started dialing. Guishou and others came over and walked towards Luo Zheng and made a gesture. Everyone stopped and exchanged glances. Instead of looking for Luo Zheng, they huddled around the fire and looked around vigilantly. The mountain eagle and snow leopard even went into the dense forest to investigate.

Luo Zheng was still thinking about what happened just now. His ancestors knew very little about the matter of growing seedlings, and they were completely ignorant of the art of beast control. He only knew that such people existed and avoided them when they encountered them. Other than that, Without any valuable clues, Luo Zheng shook his head. His face was full of bitterness, but when he thought of hatred, his bitter expression slowly became firmer. What could the beast control skills do? At most, it's just a fight.

After figuring out this simple truth, Luo Zheng's self-confidence returned. He looked at the deep forest, his firm eyes flashing with fighting spirit. He took a long breath and spit out all the negative emotions in his heart. His thinking became much clearer. , secretly calculating: With the strength of Wild Wolf in the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group, how can we fight this battle with only ten people in the team? Could they have other hidden powers?

After thinking for a while, he couldn't figure it out. Luo Zheng was about to go back and discuss with everyone. Lan Xue came over and signaled Luo Zheng to turn off the headphones and said: "My superior said everything is up to you. Whether to fight or withdraw, you have the final say."

"Ah? Me?" Luo Zheng looked at Lan Xue in surprise, his eyes full of confusion.

"I am also very surprised by this order. However, my superior said that since you know this, you are more suitable to make this decision. However, I personally hope that you will think carefully before making a decision. The enemy's situation is unknown and things are strange. It is beyond my understanding. I know the scope, and I don't want you to take risks, understand." A trace of concern appeared on Lan Xue's cold face, her eyes were full of caution, and there was a hint of worry.

Luo Zheng was silent. The matter was very important. This decision was not easy to make. He glanced at the ghost team, who were adding fuel to the bonfire. During the confrontation with the wild wolves, the bonfire was almost burning. In the hot and humid night of the primeval forest, there was no Campfire people are prone to getting sick. Ghost Hand, Mountain Eagle and Snow Leopard sat casually by the campfire inspecting their weapons, with focused expressions on their faces, as if they didn't care about what they just said.

"How did you know the other party's identity?" Lan Xue asked in a low voice the doubts in her heart.

"If I say I guessed it, would you believe it?" Luo Zheng smiled bitterly. When he saw Lan Xue nodding seriously, his heart warmed up. It felt so good to be trusted. He couldn't help cheering up and explained in a low voice: " This place is inaccessible. Except for the people from the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group, I can’t imagine anyone else appearing in this dense forest. In addition, my grandfather once mentioned the art of beast control. This matter has been passed down from generation to generation. How far to hide, the specific situation is unknown, anyway, this is how it was passed down from our ancestors. I guess our ancestors had some issues with people who knew how to control beasts, and they were worried that their descendants would suffer. If they can't afford to offend, they can hide."

"So that's the case. You are hunters, and they are beast masters. From a certain point of view, they are on the same side as the beasts. It is reasonable for them not to deal with you hunting animals. It's just that you are against the beast masters. I am asking you personally how much you know about the art, and I promise not to disclose it to anyone." Lan Xue said seriously.

"Can I still believe you? It's just that I probably don't know as much about this matter as you do." Luo Zheng smiled bitterly, looking at the deep forest, and fell into deep thought. Lan Xue did not disturb him and gently returned to the bonfire. Get up.

After a while, Luo Zheng walked towards the camp, his face became much more determined and confident. Lan Xue breathed a sigh of relief. Knowing that Luo Zheng had made a decision, he motioned for everyone to sit together, and Luo Zheng also found an empty seat to sit down. , took a look at everyone, they all had calm and firm expressions, without any trace of panic. Being able to be selected from among thousands of people was extraordinary in terms of ability and will. Luo Zheng smiled with satisfaction.

"Have you made a decision?" Lan Xue asked softly.

"Yes." Luo Zheng responded and signaled Meng Zhu to bring the military pot over. After taking a swig of water, his face became solemn and he said seriously: "It's a matter of great importance. Let's make a collective decision. I know everyone What are you worried about? I just thought about it. In the so-called beast control, it is possible that the guy named Wolf King raised white wolves, just like our army raises military dogs. The white wolves learned a skill and then conquered the jungle and became the leader of the wolf clan. Emperor, it is not a mysterious thing for the Wolf King to control the wild wolves through the White Wolf King."

"What you said makes sense, but what's the basis?" Guishou asked curiously.

"It is said that the art of beast control can control hundreds of beasts to fight, which is miraculous, but it is just a legend. No one has seen it. It has not been heard of in the past hundreds of years. Even if it exists, it has faded by now, and only a few traces are left. For fear of fear, if the wolf king is really powerful, it will not be as simple as controlling a pack of wild wolves, but all the animals in the forest will listen to his call. Along the way, we did not encounter attacks from wild beasts. Secondly, Everyone has seen what happened just now. After the White Wolf King howled, the other wild wolves showed respect to the Wolf King." Luo Zheng explained.

Everyone was silent for a while, nodding in agreement. Luo Zheng waited for everyone to digest what he meant, then changed the topic and said seriously: "So, I personally choose to continue fighting, what about you?"
