The nest of the demonized black otter was on a rocky island in the marshland.

The rocky island, hidden in the water, was hidden and covered with luxuriant vegetation. If the scouts hadn't been curious enough to follow the trail left behind by the black otters, it would have been difficult to discover its existence.

The island was surrounded on three sides by water, most of it shrouded in mist, and the opening to the nest of the otters was a crevice formed by two large, black-gray rocks leaning against each other.

Peng Yi grinned happily, "This is our camp!"

According to their original plan, the team would first need to find a relatively safe location to build a temporary camp, then use the camp as the center to conduct a search, maximizing the safety of their team members.

With the base and protection, it would be much safer to wander around in the Fog Concealed Swamp, where danger lurked everywhere.

The nest was hidden, and it was big enough to accommodate more teams. Although the smell inside was a little bad, no one would care about it.

Moreover, once they met with danger, they could only seal the entrance. The demon beasts would find it difficult to attack them, and there would even be water seeping out of the cave for a long time.

At this moment, most of the team members had already recovered, so they all worked together to clean up the nest and remove the supplies they had brought with them.

Not long after, the temporary camp became a sight to behold.

As the ceiling of the cave had not been completely sealed off, and there were gaps in the air, the two scouts found plenty of firewood and set up a bonfire inside the cave.

The raging flames dispersed the cold and damp in the cave, and a metal pot was set on top of the fire. The spring water that had just been received was boiled, and a large bag of dried meat along with flour, salt and other seasonings was thrown into the fire.

In the air, the fragrance of meat soup quickly wafted over.

If this kind of food was placed in Hao Yuan City, it would be considered the standard of ordinary commoners. However, in this city, it was already considered a delicacy. The star fighters of the team were all salivating with desire.

When the dried meat had been boiled and soaked, the gravy and flour paste had fused, and the warrior who had been the cook scooped fragrant broth into bowls for everyone to share.

After a moment, a series of snoring sounds came from within the cave.

After a fierce battle, all of the team members had consumed a lot of their stamina, so everyone was enjoying their meal.

However, it was impossible to eat until one was full.

Before the team set off, they had to replenish their food supply at the outpost for around ten days. The dried meat and flour they had just cooked were the standard rations used by the Imperial Army.

Bringing so many rations to hunt for fiendish demons in the Hidden Fog Swamp was simply courting death!

So we had to eat sparingly.

Furthermore, demon beasts like the Demonized Beetle could be dug out of demon crystals and used as mission items. Skin, flesh, bones and blood, because they contained demon poison, couldn't be used for practical purposes.

After having lunch that had nothing to do with the word "sumptuous", everyone sat down to cultivate once more.

The time needed for the Fire Clan's examination was limited, and the Hidden Fog Swamp was also very dangerous, so everyone had to seize every second and breath to recover their strength. Otherwise, encountering demon beasts again would be very troublesome.

During the whole afternoon and night, the ten man team stayed in their base camp and didn't go out to hunt the Magical Beasts.

On the morning of the second day, when the sky had just begun to brighten, Peng Yi, Nie Feng, Hong Lingtong and two other Fighters left the temporary campsite together. They set out to explore the Hidden Fog Swamp.

They still needed time to recover from their injuries. If not, continuing to take part in the quest would be irresponsible for them and would be a burden to the team.

Wei Liangcai and another scout were also left behind to protect and care for the wounded.

However, the mission of Peng Yi and Nie Feng today wasn't to hunt down as many demon beasts as possible, but to investigate the surrounding environment, find the habitat of those demon beasts, and prepare for their next move.

The five members of the team could form the Five Evils Battle Formation. Although their combat strength was definitely not as good as the Ten Demons Battle Formation, their victory was still more agile. If they were in danger, they could retreat quickly and easily.

However, this team that had shrunk to half had not left the camp for very long, and they had encountered a great deal of trouble.

He didn't know why, but the fog in the Hidden Fog Swamp was especially thick. As a result, visibility was greatly reduced, and one could barely see a person's face from four to five steps away.

The five-man team didn't move smoothly. Not to mention searching for demon beasts, they first had to make sure that they weren't lost and that they could return to the camp. If they really got lost, that would be a joke!

"Everyone, be careful!"

Peng Yi solemnly warned, "Don't be too far apart, make sure you can see each other and watch your step!"

The swamp was full of "traps", and it was the easiest time for them to get into the deep quagmire. If there was no one to rescue him in time, he might just disappear into thin air.

"AHH!"

Just as he finished his sentence, a warrior suddenly called out.

Everyone's attention was instantly attracted to him. Peng Yi quickly asked, "What happened?"

He firmly gripped the saber in his hand and was ready to fight at any moment.

The warrior crouched down. When he stood up again, he was holding a man's head in his hand!
