Chapter 2366 Special Mission (two chapters in one)(2/2)
Because the people who provided information about the grassland were surrendered pig-headed warriors. They were all small soldiers. They usually followed the army and didn't have to worry about anything else.
Therefore, regarding the information on the grassland, these soldiers only knew a general idea and did not know anything about the detailed details.
"We have been traveling all day today. You should lie down and rest first."
"You encountered that strange beast earlier and you spent a lot of energy to deal with it. It's better for you to lie down and rest first. I'll rest later in the night."
"Okay, let me rest first."
"Um."
The two simply chatted for a few words, and then took the time to rest and regain their strength.
If you perform this task alone, you won't be able to have a good rest at night.
Now there are two people, one can sleep first, and then after a few hours, the other person can rest.
This method of alternating breaks can be used in many scenarios.

Time passed and the moon in the sky moved a certain distance.
The silvery-white moonlight splashed across the earth, covering everything on the ground with a hazy garment.
The temperature is not low during the day, so many strange animals living in this area choose to stay in the dark during the day.
The night becomes darker, which is when many strange animals come out and move around.
The roars of various beasts echoed on the grassland, making people feel frightened.
The campfire made a crackling sound, and the pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead with his eyes closed to concentrate, heard the roar of a strange beast in the distance. He opened his eyes, then sat up and looked into the distance.
Even though the moonlight is very bright tonight, there are still relatively few things that can be clearly seen by looking into the distance with the naked eye.
"It's not good to spend the night on the grassland without a decent shelter." The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead said to himself when he heard the roar of beasts in the distance.
The noise of the strange beasts in the second half of the night was so loud that it was impossible to close my eyes and relax.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead endured it until the sun rose in the sky.
"Roar……"
After the sun appeared, the strange beasts that lurked during the day and emerged at night roared at each other, and then returned home in unison.
The work and rest times of these strange beasts are really regular. When they return home, the strange beasts will immediately enter a state of rest.
When the moon rises, they will come out of the darkness one after another, and then look for prey.
"Ha~"
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead yawned, rubbed his eyes with his hands, and then he picked up the kettle next to him and took a sip of water.
Breakfast was very simple. After eating, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead put out the bonfire with soil.
When traveling on the grassland, in addition to the threats posed by strange animals, there is also the threat of fire.
If forced to choose one of the two threats, most people would choose alien beasts, because once a fire occurs, it is very difficult to successfully escape on this vast grassland.
Therefore, people traveling on the grassland will take fire prevention measures whenever they light a bonfire.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead saw that the bonfire was completely buried by the soil, and immediately clapped his hands, and then took off some of the weeds stuck to his collar.
"Go in that direction next."
Because of the existence of the sun, it is relatively simple to identify the direction.
Once it's cloudy and you can't see the sun, you need to observe some surrounding plants in advance to avoid getting lost.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, packed up his things and quickly walked forward on the planned route.
When his figure disappeared, more than half an hour passed, and two figures appeared not far from the bonfire.
"It seems like someone has been there."
"Go over and have a look."
The two investigators came to the extinguished bonfire. They turned over the dry soil and saw a lot of charcoal that was still warm.
