The sun sets, dusk falls, and twilight begins to cover the earth little by little.

"Stop, who is it?"

"It's Mr. Jiang, be respectful, hurry up, get out of the way!"

"Yes, I have seen it. It is indeed Mr. Jiang."

……

At the entrance of the camp, under the bright lights, more than a dozen fully armed soldiers were on high alert, guarding the place and keeping watch on the surroundings at all times.

Jiang Yao walked slowly all the way. When he was still twenty or thirty meters away from here, the soldiers guarding the place had already noticed his presence.

The shouting and questioning, mixed with the sound of bullets being loaded, clearly reached Jiang Yao's ears.

The corpse of the mantis monster still remained in the camp and had not yet been handed over.

For fear of any unexpected events, the soldiers in the camp have already been on high alert, and their vigilance is much stricter than in previous days.

Fortunately, at the same time as the shouting sounded, beams of searchlight light shone on Jiang Yao.

Although he did not stay in the camp for a long time, the soldiers stationed at the camp gate recognized his identity immediately because they had been informed in advance.

Seeing Jiang Yao slowly stepping into the camp, the dozen or so soldiers straightened their bodies and saluted him respectfully.

Ten minutes later, in the center of the camp, in a military tent that served as a temporary command center.

Jiang Yao found a random chair and sat down.

In addition to him, Zhu Mingxu, Zhao Zhengping and several other senior officials of the garrison troops have also hurried here.

"Mr. Jiang, what's the situation in that area?" After seeing that the people who were supposed to come had basically arrived here, Zhao Zhengping, who had been a little impatient, spoke up immediately and asked tentatively.

"I wandered around the area near the entrance of Death Valley for most of the day."

"Ask me how the situation is? I can only say that it's barely okay. That area is not as dangerous as imagined."

"In addition to the corpse of the monster that Zhang Qianjin and Liu Dafu brought back to the camp, I encountered more than a dozen similar monsters in the following period of time."

"Originally, I was planning to go to Death Valley to take a look, but because I was concerned about some unknown dangers, after hesitating for a moment, I finally gave up this tempting idea."

……

With a cigarette in his mouth, Jiang Yao responded casually.

The area is one kilometer, which is not very large.

With his speed, he wandered around in there for such a long time that he could almost say that he had walked through every inch of the area. There were many places that he searched back and forth several times.

Although only a dozen of those mantis monsters died in his hands, it was not because he was incapable of killing more, but simply because he simply could not find more monsters.

According to his estimation, after this cleanup, even if the Mantis People active in that area have not been completely killed, they should be almost wiped out.

It was late at night, and unless he had no choice, he had no interest in spending the night in the wilderness under the tent.

The camp is only a few kilometers away from that area, and a round trip doesn't take him much time.

It was because of such convenient conditions that he returned directly to the camp just as night fell.

"Ah, a dozen monsters?"

"According to the information we have obtained, that kind of monster is extremely powerful and is simply not something that ordinary people can handle."

"No wonder you returned to the camp, Mr. Jiang."

"You are not injured, are you?"

Jiang Yao was interrupted before he could finish his words.

Although the name of the person who spoke was unknown, judging from his attire, he should be one of the senior officials in the camp, with the rank of lieutenant colonel.

"How can some of these weaklings really hurt me?" Regardless of what this person was thinking, Jiang Yao felt a little unhappy that he was interrupted while he was speaking.

Looking displeased, he rolled his eyes and snorted.

Then he spoke again and added: "I appeared before you safe and sound, and those monsters are naturally dead."

"If this officer has the courage to run into that area, I believe that you can find most of the dozen monster corpses, if not all of them."

"I've been wandering around outside for most of the day. I'm back at the camp and I'm going to take a nap."

"From the tone of your voice, could it be that you still think that I was being chased by those weaklings and ran back here to hide from the limelight?"

Since Jiang Yao was feeling a little unhappy, his words would naturally not be polite.

While speaking, he glared at the guy whose name he did not know with an unfriendly look.

"I said the wrong thing. Sorry, Mr. Jiang!" After a slight pause, the lieutenant colonel realized that he had said something wrong. He looked embarrassed and apologized quickly.

"Xiao Huang is a man of bad temper. He is always outspoken when he speaks."

"Mr. Jiang, please be magnanimous and don't bother with him!" Zhao Zhengping and others on the side, noticing that the atmosphere was a little wrong, quickly spoke up and said a few good words in favor of the unknown lieutenant colonel.

As high-ranking military officials, neither he nor Colonel Huang knew what Jiang Yao had done in the past, but they knew that this person was someone they could not afford to offend.

After all, three or five mantis monsters once slaughtered an entire regiment stationed here.

But from what we know about Jiang Yao in front of us, he seemed to be killing those mantis monsters as easily as chopping melons and vegetables.

Not to mention, they already knew that this person had once withstood a nuclear bomb explosion and remained unscathed.

Faced with such a person, even if Zhao Zhengping and his companions were a little dissatisfied with him in their hearts, they only dared to mutter a few words behind his back at most, and never dared to say anything to his face.

"The mantis monsters active in that area have basically been cleared out."

"Even if there are still one or two fish that slip through the net, they shouldn't be able to cause any trouble."

"Tomorrow morning, have someone prepare some live animals and arrange a team of people to go over there with me."

"Isn't it said that any creature that enters Death Valley will never return?"

"Take those animals with you, and I'll try to find out what's going on inside."

"As for you, I suggest you try not to enter that area."

"After all, even though I have cleared out the monsters that were active inside, no one can guarantee whether other monsters will come out of Death Valley after one night."

"Don't think that I can deal with those monsters easily. But if it were you, once the monsters get close to you, no matter how many of you there are, you probably won't be enough for them to kill you."

Although Jiang Yao was a little dissatisfied with the Lieutenant Colonel Huang, he was not a bad person. He would definitely not mercilessly do anything to this person just because of a momentary slip of the tongue.

With Zhao Zhengping and others speaking in his favor, Jiang Yao now has a way out.

Instead of continuing to dwell on the matter, he changed the subject and informed Zhu Mingxu, Zhao Zhengping and others of his plans for tomorrow.

"The mantis monsters active outside Death Valley have been basically cleared out. This is a good thing!"

"More than a dozen corpses of monsters are lying in that area. It's really a waste of natural resources." "It's a pity that without you, Mr. Jiang, ordinary people like us will still face some unknown dangers when entering there. Otherwise, I really want to lead the team and go in there."

"We do have some livestock like pigs and sheep in the camp. Mr. Jiang, if you want to use them to test the situation in Death Valley, there will be no problem at all."

"Tomorrow morning, I will arrange for someone to bring all these animals with me and follow you to the entrance of Death Valley."

"The only pity is that there are not many of these animals, only a dozen in total. If you want more, Mr. Jiang, we will directly notify the local authorities and ask them to send some livestock over."

"Of course, this will definitely take some time. I'm afraid you can't wait, Mr. Jiang."

……

These words fell into the ears of Zhao Zhengping, Zhu Mingxu and others. They looked at each other and nodded in unison.

Several people spoke one after another.

While making promises to Jiang Yao, some people also spoke tentatively, planning to take the corpses of the Mantis People lying in the area outside the Death Valley.

"A dozen animals, barely enough."

"Since you have no other objections to this, then let's just leave it as it is."

"I'm tired after a day, I'll find a place to have a good sleep first.

"I am a person who likes to kill people in my dreams. Unless the fire burns my butt, otherwise, it's best if you disturb me."

Jiang Yao stretched his body and stood up.

He didn't even mention the matter of the mantis monster's corpse. After saying a few words, he turned around and strode out of the military tent.

Zhao Zhengping, Zhu Mingxu and others still lacked the courage to stop Jiang Yao from leaving.

They stared at each other, and Zhu Mingxu sighed and said, "It can be said that I had to visit Mr. Jiang three times before I finally invited him here."

"He has his own ideas on how to do things, and no one can force him to do anything."

"If we want to deal with the mantis monster as soon as possible, we will do whatever Mr. Jiang tells us to do!"

"I have an appointment and need to report to the superiors. I will leave first. As for you, you can watch it for yourselves!"

Seeing Jiang Yao's back disappearing from his sight, Zhu Mingxu shrugged his shoulders, stood up and walked out of the military tent.

He is not a military man. Given his rank, Zhao Zhengping and others are definitely inferior to him.

The main reason he appeared here was because of Jiang Yao.

Now that Jiang Yao has left, there is naturally no point for him to stay here.

With big strides, Zhu Mingxu quickly walked out of the military tent and disappeared.

"You all heard what Mr. Jiang and Zhu said."

"Just do your job well and cooperate with Mr. Jiang."

"That's it for now, let's go!"

With a sigh, Zhao Zhengping also stood up.

After waving his hand and giving instructions to everyone, he also walked towards the exit of the tent.

As the highest commander of the camp, he has already said so, so naturally others will not have any other opinions on this.

Several higher-ups in the camp also began to leave one by one. In just a few breaths, no one was left among them.

*
*
The sun rises, and it is a new day.

At the entrance of the camp, a team of more than a dozen soldiers were already prepared and ready to go.

More than a dozen animals and some simple tools had already been loaded into the back of a military truck.

Jiang Yao, who arrived a little late, greeted several camp leaders headed by Zhao Zhengping, and then got directly into an off-road vehicle in front of the truck.

Although the distance of four or five kilometers is only a few steps, driving these animals all the way on foot will waste time and will ultimately be troublesome.

Although the rugged mountain roads and complex terrain make it impossible to drive directly to the entrance of Death Valley, it can save most of the journey.

Following Jiang Yao's order, the off-road vehicle took the lead with the roar of the engine, and the military truck followed closely behind, heading towards the entrance of Death Valley.

The mantis monsters that were wreaking havoc within a kilometer outside the valley entrance seemed to have been almost completely wiped out by Jiang Yao. Along the way, he did not see any trace of these ghost creatures again.

Although there was no danger, it was still nearly an hour later when Jiang Yao and his group arrived at the valley entrance.

"Mr. Jiang, the rope has been tied to the pig. We need to drive this pig directly into the Death Valley!" The person who spoke at this moment was a second lieutenant.

This man's name is Fang Weidong. Among the dozen or so soldiers who came here with Jiang Yao, he is obviously the leader.

"Well, let's try it first and see what the result will be!" Sitting on a relatively flat stone a few meters away from the valley entrance, Jiang Yao nodded with a smile.

After getting his consent, Fang Weidong signaled his men to start moving.

A soldier held the rope tied to the pig and walked to the front of the valley entrance. The other two soldiers held branches in their hands and shouted as they drove the pig straight into the Death Valley.

Although the weather today is not sunny, it can still be considered sunny and windy.

But when the big fat pig was driven into the Death Valley and only walked forward a dozen steps, a strong wind suddenly blew inside, and sand and rocks were flying everywhere, making the situation at the valley entrance, which was originally clearly visible, become a little blurry.

"No, I can't feel any strength anymore."

"Something must have happened to that fat pig tied to the other end of the rope."

The soldier who had been holding the rope suddenly looked stunned and exclaimed.

In no time, he quickly retracted the rope in his hand.

The pig that had been tied to the other end of the rope had long disappeared.

The rope, which was as thick as a finger, had broken inexplicably. The cut was shiny and smooth, as if it had been suddenly cut by a sharp blade.

The soldier holding the rope had a look of confusion and uncertainty on his face. He stared at the broken spot in his hand and was stunned for a while.

"Get another animal here and try again!" Jiang Yao, who was originally sitting on a rock not far away, appeared next to the soldier at some point.

The distance between him outside the valley and the pig that was driven into the Death Valley was only a dozen or twenty meters at most.

Even with his eyesight, it was also affected by the strong wind and dust, and he could not see clearly how the rope broke and how the pig disappeared.

Frowning and thinking for a while, he turned around and gave Fang Weidong another instruction.

"Okay, Mr. Jiang!" Fang Weidong nodded and agreed.

When he and his men tied a rope firmly around a sheep and were about to drive it into the Death Valley, Jiang Yao suddenly came over.

As he stretched out his hand, a drop of bright red blood shot out from his fingertips and went straight into the goat's slightly open mouth.
