Chapter 8: The Forest Wolf Adventure Group
Upon hearing this, the other members of the Forest Wolf Adventure Group fell into silence. Indeed, the most challenging aspect of capturing the ultrasonic bat lies in its environment. If it were in an open area, given the ultrasonic bat's relatively slow speed, weak attack power, and extremely low defense, each person here would be capable of subduing it.
However, as soon as the words left his mouth, Zhan Lang's gaze caught sight of the 4 stars on the card in Luo Hao's hand. Instantly, his expression became serious. Regardless of whether this card could resolve their difficulties, the mere presence of these 4 stars was enough to warrant Zhan Lang's careful consideration
Soon, Luo Hao spotted a weary five-member team in the Adventurers' Guild hall. Judging by the reactions of those around, it was clear that these five were members of the Forest Wolf Adventurers' Group. However, the serious expressions on the faces of the Forest Wolf members indicated that they had not successfully completed their mission. Consequently, the other adventurers present wisely refrained from approaching to disturb them
"Isn't it just talking nonsense? I believe this can explain everything." Luo Hao stood up and walked to the table where the Forest Wolf Adventure Group was seated, handing over the level 0, 4-star flare he held in his hand
"Little fellow, do not speak carelessly." Zhan Lang looked at the young man across the table, shook his head, and said
"Today we will take a break, and tomorrow we will continue. This time, we must complete the task no matter what," said Zhan Lang with a serious tone. As the team member mentioned earlier, a failure in this mission would undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the Forest Wolf Adventure Group.
I understand," said Zhan Lang in a low voice
"I believe I can help you all with your difficulties." At that moment, a somewhat youthful voice reached the ears of the members of the Wolf Adventurers' Guild, who were enveloped in silence in the forest.
Apart from these two individuals, the other two men and one woman appear to be quite ordinary; however, in fact, Luo Hao's strength is estimated to be around that of a high-level card apprentice
Upon hearing this, Zhan Lang immediately reached into his pocket and rummaged around. After a while, he took out 5 gold coins and, with an awkward expression, said: "Little brother, we have spent all our money on tasks during this period. I only have these on me. Please take them for now, and once the task is completed, I will definitely compensate you."
Beside the tall, brown-haired man sat a slender man who was a head shorter than him. However, this individual did not exude as strong an aura as the tall man, appearing quite inconspicuous. Yet, Luo Hao, whose eyes had been altered by the mysterious cards from the realm of consciousness, could faintly sense that the aura of this man was only slightly weaker than that of the tall, brown-haired man, indicating that he was likely also a card wielder
The actions of the Timberwolves Adventure Group upon arriving at the Adventurers' Guild confirmed the suspicions held by many. After these five individuals entered the Adventurers' Guild, they did not proceed to the task counter on the right but instead headed towards the bar on the left
"Little brother, thank you very much! This card is very important to us, so feel free to state any requests you may have," said Zhan Lang, tightly gripping the card in his hand.
At that moment, Zhan Lang took the card handed to him by Luo Hao. The next instant, Zhan Lang suddenly stood up with a start, his expression filled with excitement and joy, for upon seeing the surname on the card that Luo Hao had passed to him, he realized that they had a chance of succeeding in their mission
"It's nothing, it's nothing, 5 gold coins are enough." Looking at the 5 gold coins in Zhan Lang's hand, Luo Hao suppressed the excitement in his heart and feigned calmness as he spoke
After several days of hard work, they achieved nothing. Moreover, the various poisonous insects and bats in the cave brought them numerous troubles. At this moment, Zhan Lang finally understood why this task was classified as a 3-star mission.
Soon, the five members of the Forest Wolf sat down at a table just one away from Luo Hao. Facing the members of the Forest Wolf adventure group, Luo Hao also regarded them with a curious gaze
Hearing Zhan Lang's words, Luo Hao couldn't help but let out a slight sigh of relief. In fact, Luo Hao was also afraid that Zhan Lang would forcibly blackmail his card. However, it was clear that Luo Hao had worried for nothing. Although a level 0, 4-star card was precious, it was not enough for Zhan Lang to jeopardize the reputation of the Forest Wolf Adventure Group.
Such a capable and reputable adventuring group is naturally the ideal customer in Luo Hao's mind. Therefore, upon learning of the arrival of the Forest Wolf Adventuring Group, Luo Hao immediately turned his gaze towards the distance
After listening to the conversation of the Forest Wolf Adventure Team, Luo Hao was so excited that he felt like jumping up, because the most difficult issue for the Forest Wolf Adventure Team could be completely resolved with Luo Hao's flares, which undoubtedly made him the best client
The members of the Forest Wolf Adventure Group consist of four men and one woman. Among them, the tall man with brown hair, dressed in a half-length light armor, should be their leader. This individual also gives Luo Hao a very powerful impression. It is evident that he is one of the two cardholders in the Forest Wolf Adventure Group.
The little fellow... gazed at the card handed over by Luo Hao, and Zhan Lang couldn't help but shake his head. In his view, a normally dressed youth could hardly resolve matters that they themselves could not.
It is precisely for this reason that Luo Hao chose the Timberwolves Adventure Group. If it were an adventure group with a poor reputation, even if they had the same mission and faced the same difficulties, Luo Hao would not use the cards in his hand, to avoid having his cards compromised.
"Team Leader, there are only 3 days left until the deadline for the mission. If we fail to complete this task, not only will the reputation of our Forest Wolf Adventure Team be damaged, but our promotion to a 3-star adventure team will also be a distant dream." After a moment of silence, the five members of the Forest Wolf Adventure Team, sitting on their chairs, looked at each other, and one of them, with a worried expression, spoke up.
It is important to note that the cost of Luo Hao's 4-star flare is only 20 copper coins, which is equivalent to 2 silver coins. Given the exchange rate of 1 gold coin for 100 silver coins, the value of Luo Hao's flare has skyrocketed by as much as 250 times. How could this not fill Luo Hao with excitement and exhilaration
However, knowing is one thing, but in Zhan Lang's heart, there was a sense of helplessness and frustration. He had originally thought that with the strength of their Forest Wolves, capturing a Level 1 magical beast like the ultrasonic bat, which had little offensive power, would not be difficult. However, upon arriving at the cave where the ultrasonic bats resided, Zhan Lang realized they were mistaken. In the winding, dark underground cave, amidst countless ordinary bats, capturing an ultrasonic bat with echolocation abilities was exceedingly difficult.
The Timberwolves' five-member team arrived at the bar located to the left of the Adventurers' Guild. However, at that moment, all the spots in the bar had already been occupied by other adventurers. Seeing this, the leader, a tall man clad in half-armor, couldn't help but frown. Subsequently, the tall man scanned the area and led the other four towards the direction where Luo Hao was seated. Since Luo Hao's location was relatively secluded, there were quite a few empty seats available. Seeing this, the leader, a tall man clad in half-armor, couldn't help but frown.

Ah, that cave is too dark; ordinary lighting cards are completely ineffective. If I could see the situation in the cave clearly, I would definitely be able to catch that cunning ultrasonic bat. At this moment, the slender man slammed the table and said
Hehe, if the leader wants to talk, then just give some money. Luo Hao said with a smile
