The crowd cheered for a while before Zhou Shenming was the first to react.
"Everyone, pack up and leave as soon as possible."
"Li Mo, Huang Li, get the pills and distribute them to everyone to replenish their qi and blood."
"Everyone, move quickly."
The smell of blood was strong here, and no other monsters would come for a while.
But once monsters arrived, they would definitely not be something they could deal with in their current state.
"Yes!"
Everyone answered in unison, dividing their tasks to pack up and relocate the base.
Night deepened. Apart from the undeniable smell of blood and the corpses of White-headed Wolves scattered everywhere, no one knew what kind of fierce battle had taken place here.
Although Lu Lin felt sorry for the Monster Cores within the White-headed Wolves, he also knew what was important. Now was not the time to retrieve Monster Cores.
The Dragon Saber Squad packed their belongings and quickly moved to the foot of a hillside five kilometers away.
Li Mo and Huang Li distributed boxes of pills to everyone.
Blood Nourishing Pills, Bone Strengthening Pills, Healing Pills, Qi Boosting Pills... one pill after another was handed out.
A strong medicinal fragrance immediately filled the area.
Although Lu Lin had no external injuries, his continuous use of the fourth layer of the Sky Breaking Thirteen Slashes had pushed him beyond his limits. Both of his arms felt useless, and he couldn't lift them at all.
Huang Li gave him two Blood Nourishing Pills. After taking them, Lu Lin indeed felt streams of warmth flowing through his body, especially around his arms, repairing the internal damage.
In addition, he was given two Bone Strengthening Pills and two Healing Pills. Lu Lin took one of each type of pill, experiencing their effects.
The other team members were also working hard to refine and absorb the medicinal power from the pills.
Half an hour later, everyone had basically recovered. Li Mo, Zhou Shenming, Da Wei, and Xiao Wei's wounds had all scabbed over. Apart from losing some blood, they looked no different.
In the distance, from where they had just fought, came the roars of monsters, and it seemed like monsters were fighting each other.
Everyone was still shaken. If Zhou Shenming hadn't warned them, they would have likely fallen into a monster encirclement.
"Brothers, this is my fault this time."
Seeing that the team members had mostly recovered, Zhou Shenming stepped forward and said. Ren Tian next to him was about to speak up to persuade him, saying that the monsters had come on their own and it wasn't Zhou Shenming's fault, but he waved his hand.
"Listen to me first. This time, when we accepted the mission to investigate the Red Moon Earth Bear, the employer entrusted the Free Martial Artist Association with a box of bait. They said that as soon as we saw the Red Moon Earth Bear, we should open the bait and place it on the ground, and the Red Moon Earth Bear would be attracted."
"Just now, when I went into the tent to rest, I wanted to check if there was anything wrong with this bait, so I opened the box. I never expected that the temptation of this bait would be so astonishing. This time, thanks to everyone's dedicated efforts, especially Lu Lin."
Zhou Shenming looked at Lu Lin, his admiration almost impossible to hide. "Our new teammate, Lu Lin, single-handedly took down three Beast General level White-headed Wolves this time. As for the final high-tier Beast General wolf king, it was thanks to Lu Lin. Otherwise, we might have suffered casualties."
"I made a mistake, and it was Lu Lin who helped rectify it. Therefore, I've decided to transfer my entire reward for this mission to Lu Lin. I hope Brother Lu Lin won't refuse."
"This..."
Lu Lin hadn't expected Zhou Shenming to say that. He stood up, intending to refuse, but Zhou Shenming stopped him.
"Lu Lin, what's right is right, and what's wrong is wrong. Because of my own curiosity, I almost got all the brothers in the team killed. So please don't refuse. If you keep refusing, I'll feel even more uneasy."
Lu Lin didn't know how to refuse. He looked towards Ren Tian, whom he knew best. Ren Tian also nodded, indicating that he should accept it.
Huang Li, Li Mo, Da Wei, and Xiao Wei all looked at Lu Lin encouragingly, hoping he would accept Zhou Shenming's reward.
Lu Lin could only say helplessly, "Alright, but I hope to exchange this reward for Monster Cores. Any level, any species will do."
"That's easy. When it's dawn, we'll go over there and see. We should be able to find quite a few."
Zhou Shenming smiled at Lu Lin. "Alright, there are about six hours left until dawn. We won't hunt for Red Moon Earth Bears tonight. Everyone get some rest as soon as possible. Ren Tian and I will take the first watch."
The group had been fighting for half a day and had just escaped death. Hearing Zhou Shenming's words, they were all a bit tired. They set up their tents and lay down to rest. Soon, the sound of snoring filled the air.
Lu Lin was no exception. He had thought he would be too excited to sleep on his first night in the wilderness. However, as soon as his head touched the pillow, he fell into a deep sleep.
"Boss, did you hear that?"
A Mid-level Martial Artist from the Wu'an Bureau on watch in the darkness heard the calls of White-headed Wolves from the mountain and felt a sense of unease.
Their departure this time had been too sudden.
Although Bai Wei had said that the Commander had coordinated support from the 301 Forward Base, that was only after they had located their target. Otherwise, sending hundreds of soldiers into the mountains might alert the enemy.
"I heard it. Just White-headed Wolves. Xiao Wu, hurry up and sleep. You don't want to be tired tomorrow."
Bai Wei replied casually without even opening her eyes, preparing to go back to sleep.
But as she spoke, the calls of the White-headed Wolves from the mountain became more urgent, and there were quite a few of them.
Bai Wei really couldn't sleep anymore. She scrambled up. "Xiao Wu, Xiao Zeng, grab your weapons and prepare for battle!"
"Yes!"
The two subordinates responded and acted quickly.
The calls of the White-headed Wolves from the mountain grew fiercer, followed by the shouts of martial artists and the screams of White-headed Wolves, which echoed one after another.
A look of deep confusion appeared on Bai Wei's face.
White-headed Wolves usually roamed in plains. Although Baiyin Mountain had quite a few White-headed Wolves, their numbers in a pack wouldn't be too large due to food scarcity. But judging by the sounds, the number of White-headed Wolves surrounding that group of human martial artists was estimated to be between two to three hundred.
Where did this pack of White-headed Wolf Kings come from?
"Boss, should we go up and help? Perhaps the frequent deaths of Martial Artists in Baiyin Mountain are due to this pack of White-headed Wolves," Xiao Wu suggested from the side.
Bai Wei glanced at him speechlessly. "Are you stupid? There are two White-headed Wolf Kings. If we go up, we'll just be sending ourselves to our deaths. Let's wait. After the White-headed Wolf Kings kill the Martial Artist team, or the Martial Artist team escapes, we'll go and check the situation."
Xiao Wu also realized his problem was a lack of thought. There were only three of them, and going up might not make any difference.
The wolf howls from the mountain didn't stop for a moment. The three from the Wu'an Bureau waited below. As several Beast General level White-headed Wolf Kings died, quite a few White-headed Wolves had already quietly slipped away and descended the mountain.
However, these White-headed Wolves were all stragglers and didn't pose any threat to Bai Wei and the other two.
It wasn't until the White-headed Wolf King died later that a large number of White-headed Wolves rushed down the slope. Bai Wei and the other two crouched on a large tree branch, watching the numerous White-headed Wolves flee, all secretly alarmed.
