Chapter 2026: Chapter 2026: Cold Food Forest

Zhou Yu took the Jade Talisman and then sent his Divine Sense into it.

A moment later, he muttered to himself:

"Cold Food Forest!"

"Where is this place?"

Hearing Zhou Yu utter the words ’Cold Food Forest,’ Ma Kun, Guo Liang, Zhuo Yao, and others all had a change in expression.

"What??"

"Cold Food Forest??"

"Oh my god, why this time in that place!!!"

Seeing the reaction of the three, Zhou Yu asked in confusion:

"What’s wrong?"

"Is there something about the Cold Food Forest?"

Ma Kun replied with a grim face:

"Captain, you might not know, but in the past thirty years or so, this Cold Food Forest has already cost the City Defense Team more than ten members, including two captains."

"Now, everyone knows that the Cold Food Forest is very dangerous."

Standing next to him, Guo Liang quickly added:

"Yes."

"I heard people secretly talking, saying that several major Alien Races around might have started planning secretly to deal with the Human and Demon Clans."

"Therefore, they sent a large number of experts into the Cold Food Forest, trying to infiltrate Fengyuan City."

Upon hearing this, a sharp light flashed in Zhou Yu’s eyes.

"If that’s true, then it seems this Cold Food Forest is really not a good place."

Why was he sent to such a place as soon as he became captain?

Zhou Yu couldn’t help but start doubting in his heart.

Suddenly, Zhou Yu asked:

"Is it just us in the Cold Food Forest?"

Guo Liang shook his head and said:

"Not just us."

"In the past, there were usually three to five teams in the Cold Food Forest, but in recent years, the place has been unstable, so the authorities should have dispatched more than ten teams."

Hearing this, the doubts that had just arisen in Zhou Yu’s heart instantly dissipated.

If that’s the case, then it might just be a normal allocation, nothing suspicious.

Zhou Yu said:

"Do you know specifically what dangers are in the Cold Food Forest?"

Just as Zhou Yu finished speaking, the door suddenly opened.

Immediately after, six people entered one by one.

Among these six people, there were two middle-aged men, two elders, and two women. One of the women looked no more than twenty, and the other about forty.

Of course, at this level of cultivation, age can no longer be judged by appearance.

After entering and seeing Zhou Yu, they all showed a look of surprise.

"Oh, have we added a newcomer to the team?"

The woman asked in confusion.

At this moment, Guo Liang quickly introduced:

"Everyone, you’re just in time. Let me introduce you."

"This is our new captain, Captain Zhou, Zhou Yu."

Hearing Guo Liang’s introduction, everyone was stunned and instinctively showed a skeptical expression.

Soon after, Zhou Yu sensed several strands of Divine Sense instantly fall upon him.

After probing with Divine Sense, the expressions of these six people changed, and they hurriedly stepped forward, respectfully saying:

"Captain Zhou."

Zhou Yu nodded, signaling everyone to sit down.

At the same time, he also probed the Cultivation of these six people.

Among these six, the lowest were the middle-aged man and the beautiful woman, both at the Early Stage of Nascent Soul.

However, the seemingly younger woman had already reached the Late Stage of Nascent Soul.

The rest were all at the Mid-stage Nascent Soul.

After they were seated, Guo Liang quickly said:

"Everyone, our mission has already come down."

"This time it’s to patrol the Cold Food Forest."

As expected, upon hearing these four words, the six people’s faces changed drastically.

"Why this place?"

"Yes, we just lost a captain; they should have assigned us some easier task."

For a moment, the six began to complain.

Nearby, Zhou Yu coughed lightly and said:

"Enough."

"Since the mission has been assigned, just execute it."

"All of you get ready. We’ll set off tomorrow."

"Also, I’m not familiar with that place. Help me compile detailed information about the Cold Food Forest."

After speaking, Zhou Yu got up and walked out.

After Zhou Yu left, everyone started discussing.

"Brother Guo, what’s going on?"

"Didn’t you tell this new captain about the Cold Food Forest situation?"

"Why does he seem completely unconcerned?"

Looking at the questioning eyes of everyone, Guo Liang smiled bitterly and said:

"Didn’t I say it?"

"Everything that needs to be said was said."

"But this Captain Zhou seems not to care."

"In my view, he probably knows what he’s doing."

"Knows what he’s doing."

"He looks so young. I bet this Captain Zhou is like a newborn calf, not afraid of the tiger."

"With such a captain, I’m afraid our team might be in for a rough time."

"Come on, stop talking nonsense."

"The mission has already been given, no use talking more. The authorities also know the Cold Food Forest is dangerous, so they’ve recently dispatched more teams; now our strength has greatly increased, reckoning those Alien Races wouldn’t dare to act rashly."

"Let’s just hope this mission goes smoothly."

"By the way, this Captain Zhou seems unfamiliar, where’s he from? Anyone know?"

"I also think he’s unfamiliar, seems like I haven’t seen him before."

"Go find out, he must have some strong backing at such a young age..."

"..."

Everyone chattered incessantly.

No one noticed that under the chair Zhou Yu had just sat on, there was a Fire-eyed Flying Ant lying there unmoving.

Zhou Yu, who had left the meeting room, walked out calmly and unhurriedly.

Meanwhile, a strange red light flickered in his eyes.

As he left, he had left a Fire-eyed Flying Ant behind.

This Fire-eyed Flying Ant was connected to his Primordial Spirit, so he knew everything happening in the meeting room.

After listening to everyone’s comments, Zhou Yu faintly smiled and then flew away.

Early the next morning, Zhou Yu appeared in the meeting room on time.

When Zhou Yu arrived in the meeting room, all nine members of Team 189 had already arrived.

Upon seeing Zhou Yu, everyone stepped forward to greet him.

Afterward, the young woman walked up to Zhou Yu and said:

"Captain, here is the information about the Cold Food Forest that you requested."

Zhou Yu looked at the woman and asked:

"What’s your name?"

The woman, slightly cold, simply replied:

"My surname is Xu, and my name is Xu Ling."

Zhou Yu nodded, took the Jade Talisman, and said:

"Thank you."

Then, he looked at everyone.

"Let’s go!"

Under Guo Liang’s lead, everyone quickly headed out of the city.

Zhou Yu walked while checking the contents of the Jade Talisman.

Since flying is prohibited in the city, everyone could only proceed on foot.

Moreover, there were many checkpoints along the way, some even guarded by Void Refinement Realm experts conducting the inspections personally.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu couldn’t help but secretly marvel at how impenetrable Fengyuan City’s defenses were.

It took an entire hour for Zhou Yu and the others to leave Fengyuan City.

Looking at the towering walls of Fengyuan City behind him, Zhou Yu was once again in awe.

He took a deep look at the city walls of Fengyuan City, then turned around, confirmed the direction, waved his hand, and everyone soared into the sky together, heading straight for the Cold Food Forest...
