33: restricted area
The Guling Mountain Range, ever since the world changed, or rather, even before that, has always been listed as a forbidden area by Humans.
Now, due to the great changes in the world, it has become China's sixth-ranked forbidden area.
Early this morning, after Shen Ying and Qian Lanlan got up and tidied themselves, Qian Tong also followed the two of them, walking towards this continuous mountain range, the Guling Mountain Range, known as the eight-hundred-mile forbidden area.
Wild beasts and Fierce Beasts have a natural hostility towards Humans.
So when the three of them, including Shen Ying, had just entered the Guling Mountain Range, pairs of cold eyes in the dense surrounding forest were watching them.
One must know, this was just after entering the mountain.
To be honest, Shen Ying didn't know much about the Guling Mountain Range, and the main purpose of entering the mountain this time was to see Qingyang.
The three of them traveled forward, and gradually, Shen Ying also lost her sense of direction, not knowing which way to go.
But at this moment, a blood-red ant, a full half a meter long, suddenly appeared not far from everyone.
The early second-tier aura emanating from it made Qian Tong feel a tremor in his heart, while he also muttered to himself, "As expected."
Although this Red Fire Ant's strength was only early second-tier, when it appeared, the gazes of the surrounding covetous Fierce Beasts suddenly vanished without a trace.
As the three of them traveled forward, the various rare and exotic plants in the Guling Mountain Range made Qian Lanlan, this princess who grew up in the capital city, cheer with joy.
As for Qian Tong, as they moved forward, his expression became increasingly solemn.
Because by now, the auras of the peak second-tier and even occasionally third-tier Fierce Beasts around them, their gazes had begun to become unruly,
Clearly, the deterrence of the soldier ants seemed insufficient.
After a full day of traveling, as evening approached, the sky grew darker and darker, and the emotions of the Fierce Beasts that had been suppressed all day gradually became high, as if they would jump out in the next second and tear the three of them apart.
At a certain moment, in a relatively open forest, while the three of them, including Shen Ying, were sitting on the ground resting, a dense rustling sound suddenly came from the end of the forest in the distance.
These sounds, like the appearance of a beast tide, made Qian Tong suddenly stand up, gripping his dragon-head cane, his eyes fixed on the front.
A moment later, when a Red Fire Ant, a full third-tier and looking about the size of an adult, appeared, at least a hundred second-tier soldier ants actually followed behind it.
Furthermore, behind these second-tier soldier ants, countless first-tier soldier ants were densely packed.
Just as Qian Tong's heart was pounding, he saw these Red Fire Ants suddenly spread out in an extremely orderly manner, forming a huge circle that protected the three of them within it.
"As expected, it's an Ant Queen, but what exactly is its strength level?"
The soldier ants one by one looked extremely domineering; wherever they went, even the Fierce Beasts that had already broken through to the third tier slowly retreated, seemingly wary of something.
It wasn't until a wolf howl suddenly came that the bodies of the many originally domineering soldier ants simultaneously paused for an instant.
"This is bad," Qian Tong said in a low voice.
Clearly, the owner of this wolf howl seemed not to be afraid of the Ant Queen behind these soldier ants.
"Roar~"
Suddenly, with a muffled sound, seemingly like an ape or a chimpanzee's angry voice, the wolf howl came to an abrupt halt.
More than ten minutes later, the sound of fierce Fierce Beast fighting came from the mountainside of another peak.
For Qian Lanlan, the goal of entering the mountain this time was to hopefully find a young beast with good talent, or a Fierce Beast of the first tier or above to be a battle pet.
For this, Qian Lanlan's backpack was filled with a large pile of various canned foods and snacks.
This was the only way Qian Lanlan could think of to build a relationship with the Fierce Beasts.
Or rather, Humans all over the world are currently doing their best to find ways to build friendship with Fierce Beasts.
After a simple rest, the three of them got up again and continued walking forward.
By now, Qian Tong also understood; this young girl beside him actually didn't know the way either, and they were all following the soldier ant in front.
Gradually, Qian Tong also vaguely noticed some strange rules among the Fierce Beasts.
After a night of heart-pounding travel, it wasn't until dawn that the three of them, including Shen Ying, stopped again.
By reaching here, they had actually ventured deep into the Guling Mountain Range; let alone now, even the Humans of the past could not set foot here.
And upon arriving here, the variety of strange and bizarre Fierce Beasts also increased, and their strength became increasingly peculiar.
Picking up the instant food and eating it, Qian Lanlan asked with wide eyes, "Yingying, should this be about right? Should I try to test them first?"
On the large trees, the ground, and in the sky in the distance, Fierce Beasts, one by one, because they had never seen Humans, were all curiously looking at the three of them, including Shen Ying.
Next, Qian Lanlan also took out bottles and jars; upon closer inspection, they turned out to be foods like cat food and cat treats, which made Qian Tong couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Testing the cadres with this?
As expected, the densely packed Fierce Beasts in the distance, let alone eating, weren't even willing to approach.
...
On Qingyang's side, he already knew Shen Ying's current location; to be honest, Qingyang was a bit anxious.
Ultimately, Qingyang actually gave a direct order, sending three Tan Wolf Fierce Beasts to gallop rapidly towards where Shen Ying was located.
A Tan Wolf, a regular adult wolf's size is already more than two meters, and now that it has advanced to become a Fierce Beast, its size has surged to four or five meters.
Around noon the next day, when three Tan Wolves, each five meters long and covered in gray fur, arrived in front of the three of them, including Shen Ying, the three Tan Wolves surprisingly lay down obediently at their feet simultaneously.
The meaning couldn't be more obvious.
Compared to Qian Lanlan, Shen Ying understood their intention immediately because she had come into contact with Fierce Beasts many times, and she climbed onto one.
Seeing this scene, Qian Tong and Qian Lanlan could only follow suit.
The three figures galloped rapidly towards the depths of the Guling Mountain Range, which made Qian Tong, sitting on a wolf's back, couldn't help but say, "This is what a real battle pet is! What are those stray cats and dogs, those little quails?"
"If every person in my Qian Family, no, even if only twenty people were equipped with this kind of battle pet, the Qian clan would definitely rise in this world change,
"This time, I, Qian Tong, even if I have to risk my life, must see that most powerful Fierce Beast and find a way to reach a deal with it."
After a full day of galloping, when the evening glow appeared, the three of them no longer knew where they were.
Compared to the shallow experience of Shen Ying and the other person, Qian Tong discovered immediately that the trees and plants here seemed much taller, as if they had arrived in another world.
"Could it be? Is this the legendary core forbidden area of the Guling Mountain Range?" Qian Tong said with a trembling voice.
After another night of continuous travel, gradually, the three of them, using the dim light of the approaching dawn, saw a boundless lake in the distance.
As the three giant wolves continued to approach the lake, gradually, the scene around the lake also became clearer and clearer.
But at this moment, the three giant wolves suddenly split up.
Qian Tong and Qian Lanlan continued to move towards the side of the lake, but Shen Ying was taken by a giant wolf, made a turn, and disappeared directly into the jungle.
