54: Fisherman in the reeds!

After dealing with the first batch of new recruits, the Mask Squad immediately rushed to the second location without stopping.

The commotion Rose caused earlier was quite loud, and new recruits in other locations had already noticed it.

"Did I just see things? I think I saw a big hammer!"

"You're not mistaken, someone must have encountered the Mask Squad!"

"No way, didn't they suppress their strength to the Zhan Realm? Are you telling me such a large hammer could be used by someone in the Zhan Realm?"

"No, put out the fire, we're moving immediately!"

This team of new recruits immediately realized the problem: their bonfire was practically a target in the night.

Just as they were about to pack up and move, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the woods.

"It's too late to leave now!" Whirlpool walked out of the woods.

"It's the Mask Squad!"

"Attack!"

The three new recruits immediately launched an attack towards Whirlpool.

Ice bullets, fireballs, and rocks immediately rained down on Whirlpool!

A purple Qi vortex suddenly appeared in front of Whirlpool, absorbing all the new recruits' attacks.

"He can do that?"

"This is too much!"

"They're both in the Zhan Realm, so why is there such a big difference between Night Watchers?"

"We can't win, let's retreat!" The leader immediately made a judgment.

Seeing that the other side wanted to escape, Whirlpool said with a smile, "Everyone, don't be in such a hurry to leave! You've given me such a big gift, and I haven't returned the favor yet!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a purple Qi vortex suddenly appeared directly above the new recruits.

The Qi vortex spun rapidly, and the attacks the new recruits had just used actually flew out from within it!

"Those are our attacks!"

"What kind of Forbidden Territory is this? Its ability is too Heaven-Defying!"

The three new recruits had no time to react and were knocked to the ground by their own attacks.

Whirlpool walked over to them and took off their number plates.

He turned and shouted into the woods, "Captain, are we being too cautious acting together? If the new recruits are all at this level, our efficiency would be higher if we split up and captured them!"

Wang Mian thought for a moment; he wasn't a rigid person. If the new recruits were indeed at this level, their five-person assembly was indeed making a mountain out of a molehill.

"We can split up! However, there are two points you need to remember!"

Wang Mian continued, "First, if you encounter a new recruit you can't deal with within five minutes, retreat immediately! Second, gather at the agreed location at 6 AM sharp tomorrow morning. This is an iron rule, understand?"

"Understood!"

The squad members answered in unison.

Especially Whirlpool, he had long wanted to go all out!

Wang Mian was still a bit worried, "Remember, never get carried away. If any of us mess up, we'll be talked about for a lifetime!"

Whirlpool patted his chest, "Captain, I guarantee you on my honor, I'll be very steady this time!"

The Vice Captain, Balance, hesitated, "Whirlpool, why don't you just stick with me?"

"Am I really that unreliable? Don't worry, God's Proxy, three ultra-high-risk Forbidden Territories, if I encounter them, I'll turn around and leave, okay?"

Whirlpool was getting a bit emotional.

Wang Mian said to Balance, "It's fine, let him go. Besides those he just mentioned, it shouldn't be a big problem!"

Whirlpool immediately grinned, "Then, Captain, I'm off! See you at 6 AM tomorrow!"

The squad members immediately set off in different directions, beginning to search the area.

Song Zhong, hidden in the dense forest, watched the Mask Squad split up. "They've split? Then which one should I target?"

...

At the same time, the Mask Squad had already launched a frantic hunting operation!

Rose held the white number plate in her hand and pressed the special switch on it!

"Yay! Two more added to the tally!"

On the helicopter, Instructor Hong's face looked somewhat grim as he watched the accumulating death toll on the screen.

"This...the first night isn't even over yet, and 82 people have already been eliminated! Isn't this a bit too much?"

Yuan Gang didn't care in the slightest, "The first lesson of the Training Camp is to intimidate these little brats! To let them know that there's always someone better than you!"

"If that's the case, then the highlight of this game will only be on those few people!"

In the mountains at night, after Whirlpool left the squad, he also encountered seven or eight new recruits.

Without any surprise, Whirlpool dealt with his opponents in less than three minutes!

"Ah! How lonely!"

Whirlpool pressed the switch on the number plate and then put it into his bag.

He walked and counted, "Eleven in total! But after tonight, I estimate the remaining new recruits will be much harder to catch!"

As Whirlpool walked, he suddenly saw a patch of reeds not far ahead, with faint points of Firefly light inside!

"Fireflies? I didn't expect there to be such a beautiful place in the mountains! Hehe, I'll go scout it out and let them come see the scenery too!"

He sped up and quickly arrived in the reed patch!

The pond wasn't very large, with several small mountain springs flowing down from the mountain and converging there.

Many fireflies danced among the reeds, looking very dreamy!

"So beautiful!" Whirlpool couldn't help but exclaim!

Suddenly, a gust of wind swept through the reeds, pressing them down and revealing the rocks within.

On the rocks, a person was sitting there fishing!

"Huh? Someone fishing?"

The revealed figure caught Whirlpool's attention, "Is it a local villager?"

Suddenly, Whirlpool saw the white number plate at the person's waist.

It was a new recruit!

A smile curved at Whirlpool's lips.

I really didn't expect to run into a new recruit just by taking a casual stroll. Heaven is really looking out for me, my luck is pretty good!

"Hey! Rookie, still have the leisure to fish here!"

Whirlpool lightly leaped, stepping on a few reeds, and landed on the rock.

Song Zhong reeled in his fishing rod; there was nothing on the hook!

He turned around, looked at Whirlpool, and said with a smile, "Yes, the night is long, and I'm restless, but now, the fish has bitten!"

"Huh?" Whirlpool laughed, "You mean, I'm the fish you want to catch?"

Song Zhong gave a knowing look, saying nothing!

"Tsk tsk! I have to say, this year's new recruits are very arrogant! You probably don't know the true value of the words 'Special Squad'!"

"Oh?" Song Zhong looked at Whirlpool in confusion, "For example, that kneel you did when you got off the plane? You don't really think no one knows you're afraid of heights, do you?"

Whirlpool's face turned green, no longer smiling.

He glanced at his watch, "Three minutes, I'll take you down!"

"Is that so? But why don't you look around? Do you think you still have a chance?"

Whirlpool's face changed drastically. He looked behind him and realized that at some point, his surroundings were covered in dense, shimmering light spots.

Just like a swarm of fireflies on a summer night!
