Chapter 48｜Unknown Hunting Ground Exploration: New Dangers and High-Level Opponents

The morning mist had not yet dispersed, and the woods surrounding the abandoned outpost were unusually quiet. The team stepped into the unknown hunting grounds, each step feeling as if they were treading on the edge of an unseen blade.

Li Xing walked at the forefront, his Tang sword close at hand, his gaze sweeping through the mist and the shadows of the forest, sensing the faint vibrations in the air.

Zhao Yun followed closely at his side, Desert Eagle held steady, bullets chambered, ready to suppress any sudden enemies.

Li Yu walked on Li Xing’s flank, a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle resting lightly against her shoulder, her eyes alert, every breath capturing the faint sounds within the forest.

Zhou Xiaoyu occupied a high vantage point, using the terrain and perspective to her advantage, her sniper scope continuously scanning the woods, ruins, and potential ambush points.

Zhou Yan and the hunting dog followed closely behind, the dog growling low, its nose twitching in the air, sensing any anomalies.

Li Xing whispered, "The unknown hunting grounds have been opened. Pay attention to every potential ambush point. High-level enemies could appear at any moment."

**First Exploration of the Unknown Hunting Grounds**

The team advanced along an abandoned forest path, the thick mist limiting their vision. Every sway of a withered branch, every rustle of a fallen leaf, could conceal danger.

Zhao Yun lowered his voice, "The environment here is far more complex than the abandoned outpost. Enemies might use the forest terrain to set up ambushes."

Li Yu nodded, "Maintain formation. Fire coverage and flank protection must be in place."

A system prompt flashed:

**[Unknown Hunting Grounds Exploration Task Activated]**

**[Environmental Detection Module Activated]**

**[Probability of High-Level Enemy Ambush Increased]**

Li Xing carefully observed the path ahead, "Be careful. They may have already set up ambushes in the forest."

Zhou Xiaoyu, observing from her high point, reported softly, "Abnormal movement detected within 100 meters ahead. Possibly an enemy reconnaissance team."

**First Appearance of High-Level Opponents**

Shadows flickered among the trees, and several agile, well-equipped high-level hunters appeared, their presence imposing, their movements coordinated and deadly.

Zhao Yun was the first to suppress the enemies ahead, firing his Desert Eagle with precision, forcing the enemies to adjust their attack route.

Li Yu crouched low, blocking the flank passage, her Type 56 semi-automatic rifle delivering precise strikes to cut off enemy flanking maneuvers.

Li Xing led the team in a flanking maneuver, his Tang sword slicing through approaching hunters, his movements clean and efficient. The system prompt optimized tactical paths in real time:

**[High-Level Opponent Detection Complete]**

**[Team Coordination Efficiency Enhanced]**

**[Tactical Flanking and Ambush Strategy Optimized]**

Zhou Yan and the hunting dog cut in from the rear, blocking the enemy’s retreat while forming an encirclement.

**Tactics and Strategy in Play**

The high-level enemies moved swiftly, using forest obstacles and elevation changes to launch multi-point counterattacks.

Li Xing whispered instructions, "Cover with fire! Flank and encircle! Maintain formation! Every move must be precise!"

Zhao Yun and Li Yu formed a precise arc of fire, forcing the enemies to move along fixed routes.

Zhou Xiaoyu provided long-range support from her high point, marking every potential ambush location.

Zhou Yan and the hunting dog cut into the enemy’s movement lines at any moment, forming
