Xiang Tianxiu sized up Shield Ghost excitedly.
“I thought you were just a clumsy metal can. I didn’t expect you to have the Beast Speaker skill. Impressive.”
“However, this skill is ultimately a support skill and is not that presentable. In the end, your strength still needs to be high enough in order for you to have assurance.”
Xiang Tianxiu did not show much envy for the Beast Speaker. He only praised Shield Ghost slightly and walked to his tent.
“Beast Speaker skill? Shield Ghost, I didn’t expect you to have this skill too.” A martial artist called Li Yi smiled and approached. He looked at him in surprise. “I also have this skill. We can communicate more in the future.”
Lin Xuan was surprised.
The other party’s gaze seemed a little too amiable.
Big Brother, we’re not from the same hometown, right?
Lin Xuan immediately used a High-Level Observer skill.

“This person is strange. His Beast Speaker has actually reached the peerless golden grade? Where did all his skill books come from?” Lin Xuan was puzzled.
“Where’s Big Brother from?” he probed.
Li Yi patted his chest. “A member of the Construction Division of Elephant Mountain City!”
Elephant Mountain City?
A map of the various Construction Divisions immediately appeared in Lin Xuan’s mind.
Currently, the Construction Division had roughly recaptured the northeastern, northern, and southern areas of Xia Country. Meanwhile, there were many factions in the larger inland areas. Currently, the main forces of the Construction Division were dealing with the demon beasts that were crazily surging out of Drowning City. It was still too early for them to deal with those places.
Elephant Mountain City was a city on the edge of South China. It was equivalent to a border town.
This was even stranger.
The border towns needed combat strength more. Why would someone from such a town invest precious experience points into such a useless skill?
This was one of the skills that many martial artists publicly admitted to be useless. It would not improve their combat strength much.
“Brother Li, Elephant Mountain City is quite far from Dragon Sea City. Why did you come all the way here?” Lin Xuan asked.
Li Yi was serious. “I’m duty-bound to help the organization!”
Lin Xuan immediately gave him a thumbs up.
After chatting for a while, everyone quickly set up their tents before night fell. At the same time, they inserted lightning rods into the soil outside the tents to try their best to keep the lightning from falling near them.
Night slowly fell.
In the center of the tent with more than twenty people, a large pot was boiling.
All kinds of compressed food and dehydrated vegetables were thrown in, forming a huge mess.
Usually, the taste of this thing would definitely be very bad. Not many people would eat it.
However, after a hard day of exploration in the Falling Thunder Mountain, it was already not bad for him to be able to eat something hot.
Chu Pengcheng, Silver Fox, Xiang Tianxiu, and the others began to wolf down their food bowl after bowl. Those who did not know better would think that they were afraid of their food being snatched.
“Eh? Aren’t the three of you hungry?” Silver Fox noticed that Shield Ghost, Flame Explosion, and Black did not seem to be eating very happily.
Black coughed lightly and glanced at Shield Ghost.
The two of them nodded tacitly. “You’re the main force in exploring the main peak. We’ll let you have this pot of soup. We can endure it.”
Not long ago, Black had eaten an entire roasted wild boar with Shield Ghost and Flame Explosion and gulped down a bottle of Erguotou. Even now, his stomach was still bloated and he did not feel hungry at all.
The taste of compressed food and dehydrated vegetables was naturally not much compared to roasted wild boar, and he did not have much of an appetite.
Lin Xuan was the same. He had yet to digest the roasted wild boar in the morning.
Suddenly, everyone stopped eating and looked at them in a daze.
What simplistic dedication!
Having seen this, they could not help but be in tears!
In contrast, the way they ate now seemed so ugly and disgusting!
Xiang Tianxiu silently put down the spoon that he was using to reach into the pot. He wiped her mouth and also looked at Lin Xuan and Black with admiration.
Although he was arrogant, he also admired selfless people.
Chu Pengcheng shook his head solemnly. “Every member is taking risks in the Falling Thunder Mountain. You shouldn’t be treated differently. You don’t have to give us the soup. You must eat it too!”
Ye Yuqiu scooped a bowl of soup and handed it to Lin Xuan. She said with concern, “I understand your feelings, but everyone has to eat their fill. Only then will you have the strength to continue exploring tomorrow. Come, finish it!”
Lin Xuan: “…It’s better to give it to someone who needs it more! I’m not hungry.”
Ye Yuqiu stared at him. “I think you’re hungry.”
Lin Xuan :”…”
Gulp, gulp.
He ate a large bowl of soup.
Lin Xuan felt his stomach swell.
It could not be said that his stomach was the size of a pregnant lady’s belly. However, he still gained a big belly after eating.
Fortunately, Shield Ghost was wearing full armor and Flame Explosion had a loose cloak. Otherwise, everyone would have been able to see his bulging stomach.
After eating and drinking, Chu Pengcheng began to arrange for a night watch.
“First shift will be Ye Yuqiu and Silver Fox.”
“Second shift will be Chu Pengcheng and Bai Xinghe.”
“Third shift… ”
“…”
“Seventh shift will be Shield Ghost and Flame Explosion.”
At this moment, Li Yi suddenly raised his hand. “Director Chu, can you arrange for me to be on the same shift as Shield Ghost?”
Chu Pengcheng was stunned.
What was she doing?
Didn’t she realize that Shield Ghost Flame Explosion were good brothers?
Did she really want to intervene in their relationship so badly?
Flame Explosion asked curiously, “Why?”
Li Yi smiled awkwardly. “I saw that Shield Ghost also has the Beast Speaker skill, so I wanted to share insights with him. Perhaps I can also learn something.”
The others nodded when they heard this.
Lin Xuan rolled his eyes.
The grade of your Beast Speaker skill was peerless golden!
It would be strange if the other party could gain insights from talking with him.
Lin Xuan suddenly said, “Since Brother Li feels like it, I also want to learn from him.”
Li Yi immediately revealed a happy expression.
In Lin Xuan’s opinion, this joy was a little strange.
He felt that the other party was too happy and amiable.
Seeing that Shield Ghost did not mind, Chu Pengcheng said, “Alright, then Shield Ghost and Li Yi will be placed in the seventh shift.”
Soon, Chu Pengcheng announced all the members of the night watch. “There will be a shift every hour. Please be vigilant. The safety of the others will be in your hands.”
Everyone nodded seriously.
Ye Yuqiu and Silver Fox, who were in charge of the first shift, sat in front of the fire while the others crawled into the tent.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The night at the Falling Thunder Mountain was not quiet. Instead, thunder rumbled.
Speaking of which, it was strange. Before the advancement of the Falling Thunder Mountain, a large number of people would attract the lightning, causing the martial artists to have no choice but to travel separately.
In the end, after the advancement, no matter how they gathered, the lightning did not seem to fall on them.
Chu Pengcheng and the others were also very puzzled. In the end, they could only explain it as a strange change after the advancement.
After leaving the Falling Thunder Mountain, they planned to inform the headquarters of this change and let the big shots in the headquarters rack their brains over it.
Thunder rumbled, but everyone was already prepared for this trip to the Falling Thunder Mountain. They wore soundproof earplugs. Moreover, they had been exploring for the entire day. Everyone was very tired, and most of them had fallen asleep.
Lin Xuan could not sleep.
Even with the soundproof earplugs, the sound of thunder still drilled into his ears like small insects.
Moreover, people would walk out of the tent to pee every once in a while. After all, they ate soup at night, so it was normal for them to pee a little.
Lin Xuan simply called his training avatars over and patrolled the vicinity of their camp. When he had nothing to do, he would look at the perspective of these training avatars and imagine that he was watching a movie.
Seven hours later, it was Lin Xuan’s turn.
He walked out of the tent and exchanged places with the two night guards from the previous shift.
Li Yi had also walked out of the tent at this moment. Their eyes met.
The two of them sat in front of the fire and added firewood.
The firewood crackled from the fire.
Li Yi stared at him, his expression half excited and half hesitant. Finally, he said, “Where did you learn your Beast Speaker skill?”
Lin Xuan thought for a moment. “I was born with it.”
Li Yi: “???”
He laughed dryly. “Then it’s fine.”
The two of them were silent for a long time.
Lin Xuan was puzzled. Didn’t this person want to exchange skills? Why wasn’t he saying anything?
Something must be wrong!
“Hiss… My stomach suddenly hurts. No, I have to settle this first. I’ll leave the duty of guarding the night to you. Shield Ghost, don’t be distracted.”
Li Yi suddenly cried out softly and covered his stomach as if he was in pain.
Lin Xuan sneered. Was he about to give himself away?
“Alright, go. Leave this to me.” Lin Xuan’s tone was calm. “Don’t go too far. If you’re attacked by demon beasts, I won’t be able to save you.”
Li Yi nodded repeatedly, took a roll of paper, covered his stomach, and fled into the forest.
He walked far away and turned around to see that Shield Ghost was still waving at him and did not follow him. Only then did he feel relieved.
Lin Xuan sneered. Do you think that no one will be able to see you if I don’t follow?
He immediately turned to the perspective of his training avatar and controlled a Lightning Bee to approach. Soon, it silently landed on a treetop not far from Li Yi.
Then, he realized… Li Yi had really taken off his pants and squatted down.
However, he did not use his muscles to bring out his feces and urine. Instead, he began to release his skill.
With a rub of his hands, invisible fluctuations rippled out and quickly spread more than a thousand meters.
After releasing his skill, Li Yi waited patiently.
Soon, several demon beasts ran to Li Yi’s side.
These demon beasts were all very obedient and allowed Li Yi to stroke their smooth and soft fur.
“Where’s your boss?” Li Yi squatted down and communicated with them softly.
These demon beasts roared softly and pointed in a certain direction.
Li Yi was pleasantly surprised. “Not far from here? Alright! I can give it a try. Although the probability of summoning a mystic realm king is not high, what if I’m lucky?”
He released his skill again, and layers of emerald green ripples spread out.
Not far away, the male and female wolf kings suddenly stopped.
The male wolf king still wanted to move, but the female wolf king suddenly broke free and walked in Li Yi’s direction in a daze.
Li Yi was even more surprised. “I actually summoned a mystic realm king! I’ve struck gold this time!”
