1Lin Chong failed to frame Bai Yuhao once, but he suddenly became obedient. Although their relationship was still not on good terms with Bai Yuhao, at least they did not cause any trouble.
Time passed, and soon, half a month had passed.
The vanguard troops that had set out to patrol the frontline half a month ago could no longer be contacted for some reason. When Wang Zhentian found out, he immediately gathered the other two deputy commanders as well as some military cadres like Bai Yuhao.
"This Vice Commander Ma hasn't reported their whereabouts in the past three days. I'm afraid he met with some trouble. I want to send a team with more mobility to investigate, who's willing to go?!" Wang Zhentian immediately signaled to the generals.
All the generals including the two vice commanders looked at each other.
"I'm willing to lead the team." Fei Yunhu was the first to introduce himself.
After that, several others expressed their willingness to carry out the mission.
"Commander Wang, why don't you let me go?" Because Di Yuling was also in Vice Commander Ma's troop, Bai Yuhao was naturally worried about Di Yuling's safety, so he definitely wouldn't sit idly by.
"You've only been in the army for a short while, so you're not familiar with the terrain of the frontlines. It's better if you let Vice Commander Fei go!" Wang Zhentian thought for a moment and said to Bai Yuhao.
I'm worried that it might be a trap. The three Vice Commanders are the right-hand men of Commander Wang, and this Vice Commander Ma is no longer here, if Vice Commander Fei carries out this mission again, then only Vice Commander Lin will be left. I'm afraid that if Tiger Whisker Pass is in danger, then Liu Tie will have one less capable assistant by his side. "Although I'm not very familiar with the terrain of the front lines, I'm fine with it as long as the other members of the team are familiar with the terrain." Bai Yuhao immediately analyzed.
"Your consideration is not without reason!" Wang Zhentian also felt that it made sense.
"Commander Wang, I think we should let my backup team select a few capable members to accompany Captain Loong Xuan in the mission!" Since there was an opportunity to earn merits, Vice Commander Lin naturally wouldn't miss it.
"Alright, then make the arrangements as soon as possible and set off immediately." Wang Zhentian gestured.
"Captain Loong Xuan, then let's go back and prepare!" Vice Commander Lin signaled to Bai Yuhao.
Bai Yuhao nodded and followed Vice Commander Lin.
After returning to the Spirit Master camp of the support team, Vice Commander Lin immediately gathered all the Spirit Master team members and explained the situation. Furthermore, he let the Spirit Master team members recommend themselves.
Very quickly, a few Spirit Master members who wanted to take the initiative to come forward. However, most of them felt that this mission was risky, so they didn't want to take the risk and go.
"Vice Commander Lin, count me in." At this moment, Lin Chong unexpectedly stood up.
Vice Commander Lin immediately glanced at Bai Yuhao. He knew that Lin Chong had always been dissatisfied with Bai Yuhao taking the position of captain, so he was still quite cautious.
However, Bai Yuhao ignored him and said, "Vice Commander Lin, make your decision!"
"Very well, it just so happens that you're more familiar with the terrain of the frontline than any other spirit in the world. It's finally suitable for you to lead the way!" Vice Commander Lin nodded and replied.
Finally, Lin Chong and the eight other Spirit Masters formed a team. With Bai Yuhao leading, they rushed to the place where Vice Commander Ma last reported, the Wolf Ivory Gorge.
The Crescent Canyon was a natural danger in the front lines, and because it was shaped like a crescent moon, its name was given the name. Because the canyon was shrouded in a sky blotting out the sun, it was almost pitch black, and if one fought within it, it would be like looking at a blind person.
If the enemy wanted to attack Tiger Whisker Pass, they must first pass through the Crescent Canyon. Therefore, this place was also a strategic location in the front lines of Tiger Whisker Pass, so it was really strange that the Patrol Unit Vice Commander Ma was leading would lose contact with them in the Crescent Canyon.
Because it was a team of Spirit Masters, their movement ability was naturally stronger than that of ordinary teams. The Crescent Canyon that originally required two days to reach, Bai Yuhao and his team only needed one day to reach.
At this moment, Bai Yuhao and the other Spirit Masters in the team were already standing in front of the Crescent Canyon entrance. Standing at the entrance, one could see that inside the canyon, there was barely any light, but there were dense vegetation growing, and it was not a dry, yellow, yellow canyon.
But because of this, the Crescent Canyon was even more dangerous and unfathomable, because many of the plants there were highly toxic. If they were contaminated, they would lose the ability to move, and if they were heavy, they would lose their life.
"There are many poisonous plants and flowers growing on this Crescent Canyon, and there are also some poisonous insects that Captain Loong Xuan has never entered before. So, it's best to give you a reminder, lest you turn around and say that I didn't warn you." Lin Chong reminded Bai Yuhao with a feigned posture.
Of course, Bai Yuhao didn't think that Lin Chong was reminding him out of good intentions. However, he didn't take it to heart.
"If you're ready, we'll be going in." Bai Yuhao turned around and indicated to the other team members.
After waiting for the other members to confirm that everything was ready, Bai Yuhao brought the group of eight into the Crescent Canyon.
Very quickly, they entered into a gloomy, dark environment. Only the occasional light that passed through the cracks in the stone could be seen. However, the darkness on both sides of the road made people shudder in fear, afraid that danger might approach at any moment.
From the start to the end, it was only a few kilometers. If one walked in a straight line, they would be able to reach there in six hours, but because there were many obstacles and traps that were purposely created in the Crescent Canyon, it was impossible to go all the way to the end using a large road, and one could even get lost within.
Hence, when advancing within the Crescent Canyon, other than having to be extremely familiar with the terrain, one also had to know how to identify traps.
Because Lin Chong was very familiar with the routes and traps of Crescent Canyon, he was responsible for leading the way at the front. Bai Yuhao and the other seven team members followed closely behind.
In the first two hours, Bai Yuhao and the others smoothly passed through all kinds of obstacles and traps, but in the second hour, everything went awry. First, a member was stung by a wasp and almost lost his life, then another member accidentally inhaled the fragrance of a poisonous flower, causing him to fall unconscious and unable to wake up no matter how he shouted.
In the end, Bai Yuhao could only get the other two team members to bring the two unconscious teams back from the same path, and send out the Crescent Canyon first.
In the end, Bai Yuhao only led Lin Chong and the other three team members forward.
Finally, after entering the middle section of Crescent Canyon, Bai Yuhao and the others found some Human Clan soldiers' corpses. Judging from the rate of decomposition of the corpses and the degree of solidification of their blood, they should have died less than two days ago.
