Just like that, Lin Tian successfully became a member of the cleaning team led by Wang Hao.
He followed them around the Green Mountain Base to clean up the magical beasts.
“Like these phoenix-tailed grass, when we pass by, we’ll try our best to kill them!”
Lin Tian followed behind the team, and Li Feng explained to him about the wilderness.
Danger lurked everywhere in the wilderness. A slight moment of carelessness could lead to danger.
The green phoenix-tail grass that looked like a peacock’s tail and could open its tail was one of them.
Once they saw it, they had to kill it.
This was because the phoenix-tail grass was often used as an alarm for the magical beasts. When an alien creature intruded, it would send out a warning.
This type of plant was quite common in the wild.
Lin Tian suddenly understood and nodded. Then, the cleaning team took care of the small magical beasts around them and continued to go deeper.
“The deeper you go into the wild, the more you will realize that even the underground isn’t safe.”
Li Feng continued to explain to Lin Tian while stepping on the ground. The wilderness was indeed the magical beasts’ territory.
However, magical beasts were also divided into different grades.
For example, the insects and rats that Lin Tian had killed previously were not ranked among the magical beasts. If these magical beasts wanted to survive, it would be quite difficult for them to snatch the environment in the wild.
And the underground was the best place for them to go.
“How do you know if the magical beasts are hiding underground? It depends on the growth of these fungi!”
Li Feng grabbed a small straw mushroom and handed it to Lin Tian. Lin Tian looked at the straw mushroom curiously.
It was not much different from ordinary mushrooms, but Li Feng told Lin Tian that if a certain area didn’t have this kind of fungi grew on it, its underground was relatively safer.
Lin Tian learned a lot of knowledge about the wild from Li Feng and the others.
It affected him greatly.
“Xiao Hui, Attack!”
At the same time, as a member of the cleaning team, he would also order Silver Wolf to attack when a magical beast appeared.
Every time Silver Wolf attacked, the surrounding people felt as if they were in the sea of stars.
“Li Feng, this kid is not simple!”
Wang Hao patted Li Feng’s shoulder and said with a smile. Li Feng looked at Lin Tian and laughed.
The team went deeper and deeper. When the road ahead could not be seen clearly, Wang Hao reached out his hand to signal them to stop.
The visibility of the road ahead was very low because of the black fog.
“Something is strange!”
Wang Hao frowned and said in a deep voice. Then, the black bear pattern on his arm lit up, and black light shot into the sky.
“Roar!”
Accompanied by a shocking beast roar, like a huge black wall appeared behind Wang Hao and blocked him.
The rare bronze rank magical beast, the Explosive Black Bear, appeared in front of everyone.
The black bear was over five meters long, and its body was extremely huge. Just its paw alone was half the size of a human, and its paw was still burning with hot flames. That pressure was truly terrifying.
“Is this a bronze-level magical beast?”
Lin Tian was extremely excited. This was the power of a bronze-level magical beast that he had experienced up close. The excitement in his heart was beyond words.
This kind of pressure was not something that a black iron-level magical beast could compare to.
“Xiao Hui, one day, we will be as mighty as them!”
Lin Tian rubbed Silver Wolf’s fur and said in a low voice. He gave it encouragement.
“Awoo!”
The Silver Wolf Xiao Hui looked at the Explosive Black Bear in front of him. Its eyes became brighter and brighter. It responded to Lin Tian with a low roar.
“Da Zhuang, explosive fire fist!”
Wang Hao launched an attack. Following that, the Explosive Black Bear’s two fists collided together. Sparks exploded in the sky as it flew toward the ground not far away.
“Boom!”
As the two fiery fists hit the ground, Lin Tian and the others felt the earth shaking.
Then, the fire exploded in front of the black bear. The ground caved in, and at the same time, a few huge cracks appeared.
At this time, a large amount of black gas spewed out from the cracks. Then, many black figures spread their wings and flew out.
“Everyone, get ready for battle!”
Wang Hao said in a deep voice. At the same time, Li Feng also summoned his own magical beast.
These black creatures were called black devil bugs. Their entire bodies were black, and they were born as black iron-level magical beasts. Their shells were extremely sturdy, and ordinary weapons would not be able to break through their defenses.
They usually lived in groups, and when they moved out, they would definitely move in groups. Moreover, these black devil bugs grew very quickly, and in three to five days, they would become a disaster.
“Something’s wrong. We’ve encountered the nest of the black devil bugs, and it might have already given birth to a bronze-level bug king.”
Wang Hao said in a deep voice. As he destroyed more and more black devil bugs, the number of black devil bugs that emerged from the ground did not decrease, instead, they kept coming.
The number of black devil bugs in front of him was too huge. If it was allowed to continue developing, it would definitely cause a disaster.
“Everyone, follow me into the nest of the black devil bugs and carry out the purge.”
With Wang Hao’s order, the entire body of the Explosive Black Bear started to burn with scorching flames.
The flames burned the black devil bugs into ashes, emitting a metallic smell.
“Little Tian, you go back first. It’s dangerous in here!”
Li Feng’s magical beast was a red-eyed striped leopard, much bigger than Lin Tian’s Silver Wolf. Red rays shot out from its eyes, shooting down the black devil bugs in front of it.
At the same time, he stood in front of Lin Tian to protect him.
If it was just a black devil bugs, Li Feng naturally wouldn’t care about Lin Tian. However, this was a nest, and it could even give birth to a bronze-level bug king.
This was very difficult to deal with. The slightest carelessness could result in death. After all, he had watched Lin Tian grow up. He couldn’t let Lin Tian be in danger.
“Lin Tian, just listen to Li Feng. Go back first!”
The other members of the cleaning team also advised. Of course, their hands didn’t stop as they commanded their magical beasts to attack.
They knew that Lin Tian’s Silver Wolf was quite powerful, but he was only a student after all. He had a bright future ahead of him, so there was no need to sacrifice himself here.
No one could be sure if the black devil worm nest would be in danger.
“I can take care of myself!”
However, Lin Tian shook his head and patted the Silver Wolf next to him.
“Roar!”
The Silver Wolf roared at the black fog in front of him. The piercing sound waves even shook off a few black devil bugs flying in the sky.
When Lin Tian came to the wilderness, he had already made preparations.
He knew that the wilderness was dangerous, but if he couldn’t even bear such a small risk, how could he become an armored envoy.
“Alright, since that’s the case, then let’s go. But Little Tian, you must remember, once your life is in danger, run immediately. Don’t worry about us!”
Li Feng saw the black devil bugs that had been shot down, and the determination in Lin Tian’s eyes, and he finally agreed to Lin Tian’s request.
The cleaning team finally entered the black devil bug’s nest.
