544: Chapter 423: The First Team Dungeon (Two-In-One)_2 544: Chapter 423: The First Team Dungeon (Two-In-One)_2 “Here is the topographical map of Sheep Village, I have already arranged a specific plan, and later I will send a position map to you all.

When the time comes, everyone just needs to follow the plan,”

“Oh, by the way, Xiao Shun, you and your medical team don’t need to join the battle.

I need you to stand by on the Dawn, ready to provide medical support at any moment.”

Zhang Xiaoman laid out his arrangements one by one.

In his plan, the Awakeners would be divided into four teams for exploration.

Although he did not expect these people to achieve much, this could still give them some real combat experience and a chance to pick off some minor monsters and earn some points.

Opportunities to play such team dungeons were scarce.

At that time, to ensure everyone’s safety, Zhang Xiaoman would also arrange for a Star Guard to accompany them.

If there were any monster they couldn’t handle, he could simply initiate Unlimited Teleportation to support them.

The task assignment went smoothly, and everyone expressed their understanding and went to prepare.

After most of the people had left, Zhang Xiaoman looked at the few remaining individuals in the field, and though somewhat surprised, he guessed their intentions.

“Star Lord, please let us go too.

We also want to go and kill those monsters!”

The speaker was Aaron Griffin.

He had been diligently learning Chinese in addition to his training lately.

Although not fluent, he could now manage some simple communication.

“Yes, Star Lord!

Let us participate as well!

We have learned a lot from Lord Taotie, and we can definitely be of help!”

Bena also spoke up.

Zhang Xiaoman pondered for a moment, then nodded.

“Alright, I have seen your recent performance.

If you wish to prove yourselves, I can give you that opportunity.”

“However, this mission involves directly entering the Mist.

You must be aware of these mists already.

Needless to say, the dangers inside are something I need not elaborate on.

I hope you are prepared.”

Both of them nodded firmly upon hearing this.

Zhang Xiaoman, seeing this, naturally felt quite satisfied and immediately waved his hand for them to go and prepare.

In the end, only Jannan remained in the field.

“Old Zhan, do you want to go too?”

Jannan said with a smile, “Star Lord, since I chose to join the organization, I naturally should pull my weight.

Although I am not an Awakener, I can still provide some firepower support, which should be sufficient against some lesser foes.”

“Good, then you come along later as well.”

Zhang Xiaoman nodded, not saying much else.

He was well aware of Jannan’s strength.

Although not an Awakener, with his superior abilities, he had, like Lord Bear, become an instructor for the Star Alliance.

Beyond gunnery and security knowledge, Jannan possessed many practical combat skills in the field, which were somewhat superior to those of Lord Bear.

After all, he had once been a legendary figure in the circle of bounty hunters.

Everyone went to prepare themselves, and naturally, Zhang Xiaoman also needed to prepare.

He handed over the Unicorn Blood he had just purchased to Jannan, asking him to load five high-power bullets for him.

About an hour later, on the open ground above Inheritance Land, the cabin door of the Dawn slowly opened.

The people followed Zhang Xiaoman’s steps into the spaceship, their faces looking very excited.

For many, it was not their first time aboard the Dawn, but stepping inside again now, they still felt an indescribable thrill.

This was a real space battleship.

For people living in the modern world, the allure of such things was sometimes no less than that of superpowers.

Of course, if they had to choose, most would still opt for the Extraordinary Path.

After all, one relies on external means, while the other improves oneself.

Brother Hero had especially come back from America.

He wanted to use this opportunity to train himself and test the results of his recent training.

Furthermore, he wanted to earn some more points, to later exchange for more Extraordinary Items.

This guy’s life had been pretty good lately; when there was work, he would deal with it in America.

When not busy, he used the Starry Stone to come back to see his wife and child, and also to train with Lord Bear.

As for how to get back, they naturally used the teleportation waymark.

It was the door panel obtained from Aaron’s family apartment.

Zhang Xiaoman hadn’t thought of a place that urgently needed setup, so he simply left it at Brother Hero’s, which conveniently benefited him.

“Alright, everyone check their positions again.

Once we land, we will move as a group and no one should stray from the team.

Elder Ye, Su Fu, Sisi, the three of you aren’t suited for combat, so you’ll soon need to use Dark Energy to enhance their statuses.”

“Understood.”

“Don’t worry, Star Lord.”

“…”

On the bridge, everyone was making their final allocation confirmations.

Everyone was excited yet nervous.

After all, this was also the Star Alliance’s first collective action against monsters.

“Hidden operational mode activated, auto-navigation started.”

Following this prompt from the Star Order, the Dawn commenced its motion.

The ship, as tall as a skyscraper, completely vanished after a series of glowing lights, instantly soaring into the sky ten thousand meters above.

…

Elsewhere, at the outskirts of Sheep Village, just outside the mist.

A squad dressed in Azure Dragon Army uniforms was slowly exploring inward.

They were a total of eight, consisting of a squad leader, two machine gunners, a sniper, and four assault members— a standard tactical team.

The squad leader was a man in his thirties named Chang Hai.

He, like Xu Fei, was also a member of the Dragon Teeth Team but hadn’t participated in the previous exploration missions due to other matters.

At the moment, Chang Hai’s eyes were emitting two silvery-white beams.

This was unmistakably the Spirit Detection Technique used for sensing Dark Energy Fluctuations.

Clearly, he had used the Spirit Binding Scroll provided by Zhang Xiaoman just yesterday.

Making a safe gesture towards his comrades behind, Chang Hai led his team members quickly into a small building.

It was a small, crude public toilet with limited space.

However, it was storing some ammunition supplies, as it was a temporary supply point set up by the Azure Dragon Army.

“Cheng Peng, report the time.”

While checking his equipment, Chang Hai spoke to a dark-skinned young man by his side.

The man named Cheng Peng, who had been muttering to himself from the beginning, quickly responded upon hearing the squad leader’s command:

“Captain, it’s been 10 minutes and 27 seconds since we entered.

You have less than 50 minutes left!”

“It’s been ten minutes already…

No, our pace is too slow.

The scroll’s duration is one hour, but at this rate, we will probably not reach our destination on the scroll’s time alone.”

Chang Hai’s expression became somewhat grave.

Their mission was to pave the way, literally exploring, marking paths, and setting up supply points for subsequent teammates to enter easily.

“Captain, I think we need to speed up.

We are moving too slowly as it is, and with this kind of supernatural vision, we can go faster, otherwise, we simply won’t have enough time.”

A teammate nearby suggested.

Chang Hai furrowed his brows, pondering for a moment, yet he seemed unsure.

Although he could now sense whether there were monsters within a 50-meter radius using this miraculous vision, he still dared not accelerate recklessly in the mist.

However, based on the current situation, they had carefully walked for ten minutes, still lingering on the outskirts of Sheep Village.

At this pace, it was insufficient to reach the target’s central location.

This time, the base had only provided one scroll, so they had to leave before this perception state expired.

“Alright, let’s check our gear, and when we go out later, everyone follows me.

I’ll speed up in an attempt to reach the next supply point as quickly as possible!”

After a moment of thought, Chang Hai finally made the tough decision.

He knew that changing plans hastily was risky, but how could there be no risks when undertaking such missions?

The mission was exigent, and the situation on the ground changed rapidly, not always following the plan.

As the team leader, he had to shoulder the responsibility of making decisions.
