Chapter 149: Gifts are exchanged
"Chen Yuan, it's almost time for us to go, right?"
Liu Xuan leaned against a stone, holding a weed pulled out of nowhere in his mouth, looking bored.
"Wait a little longer," Chen Yuan turned his head and said, "I've been waiting for a day, not for a while." ”
"Wait," Liu Xuan said with a bitter face, "When are we going to wait?"
"Hurry up for a yarn," Gou Chen glanced at him, and said angrily: "There are already so many people who are out of the game in advance, if you want to accompany them, you can go first." ”
"Are you talking about human words," Liu Xuteng stood up from the ground, glared and said, "I'm not worried about everyone, the system will give three days, and now nearly a day and a half have passed, and if we don't act, we haven't arrived at the canyon yet, and we have already finished the calf in advance." ”
"Stop arguing, be patient. Chen Yuan said coldly.
He understood why Liu Xuan was anxious, but now, he could only take action if he persevered and waited for the most appropriate time.
The six of them had been waiting in the stone forest for more than a day.
Within a day, the virtual world kept coming from the sky with messages that students from various schools were "out".
At this time, the number of students remaining in the virtual secret realm has been sharply reduced to 26.
This says at least a little bit.
In the canyon road, there have been a number of battles.
Judging from the frequency and speed of the sharp decline in numbers, these people may have encountered the "Beastmaster" in the canyon and were wiped out.
In this case, Chen Yuan could not act rashly and put everyone in danger.
"Now, just wait for an opportunity, a time to soar. Chen Yuan raised his black eyes and looked at the sky, his gaze was as deep as water.
Liu Xuan saw that he was resolute and looked quite helpless.
Go back to the boulder and lie down, holding the weeds in your mouth and not saying a word.
The other four were relatively calm, staying by Chen Yuan's side for a moment, waiting for the final order.
Minutes and seconds passed.
Two rounds of bloody suns set in the west, and night fell on the earth.
Chen Yuan opened the map, looked at the time on the bracelet again, his eyes sank, and said, "Everyone, get ready to go!"
Everyone's faces were stunned, and their nerves tensed instantly.
Chen Yuan looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Everyone has been waiting for a day, and they must be holding their breath in their hearts. In order for everyone to cross the canyon safely, we have to wait. ”
"In the 'canyon road' ahead, our opponents have paid a heavy price for their recklessness, and we have to learn our lesson. ”
Speaking of this, he raised his hand and pointed forward, and said, "Now the time is ripe, everyone take advantage of the night to cross the canyon and arrive at the destination, let the people who constructed the secret realm see that although we are weak, we are by no means fish and meat to be slaughtered!"
"Well said!"
"Full speed ahead, through the canyon!"
Several team members were already holding back the fire in their stomachs, and at this time, after Chen Yuan's agitation, they immediately had their blood churning and were ready to go.
Chen Yuan's eyes sank, and he said: "On the way, everyone maintains a charging formation, I am in the center, Huo Shao and Huang Tianchi are on the left, Fat and Wang Chao are on the right, and Gou Chen is the outpost, once the trace of the suspected beast king is found, immediately warn!"
Gou Chen heard this, didn't say a word, jumped into the night, and disappeared for a moment.
Chen Yuan and the five of them followed closely and walked quickly forward facing the yellow sand.
The secret realm at night is even more eerie.
The sky is as black as ink, and the demonic purple in the day can no longer be seen.
As far as the eye can see, the mountains stand steeply,
Like an ancient beast, it overlooks every corner of the wasteland.
The cold wind blew in his face, like a knife, and his cheeks ached.
Chen Yuan and the six of them had a strong wind on their heads, stepped on the yellow sand, and walked forward quickly.
At this time, the benefits of cultivating "ancient martial arts" suddenly became prominent.
Even though the environment was harsh, the aura of the six people was still running as usual, without any hindrance, and the speed of progress was not greatly affected.
After running for more than 20 miles, the "Psionic Walkie-talkie" carried by Chen Yuan suddenly sounded.
He took out the walkie-talkie and pressed the button, and Gou Chen's hurried voice immediately came from inside:
"Chen Yuan, a large amount of blood was found in front of you. ”
"Protect yourself, we'll be there in a moment. Chen Yuan's face sank, and everyone continued to accelerate.
Five minutes later, I finally saw Gou Chen waiting in place.
Chen Yuan took the lead and stepped forward and asked, "What's the situation?"
"You guys take a look at this first," Gou Chen held a searchlight in one hand and pointed to the ground with the other, and said, "These footprints are far larger than ordinary demon beasts, and they are obviously left by the beast king." In addition, a total of six blood stains were found on the ground, which should have been left by the first group of annihilated teams. ”
"The first ...... Is that the 'motley army'?" Huo Yuan frowned.
"That's right," Gou Chen said, "The first batch of teams has a total of six people out, and three people abstained, judging from the distribution of bloodstains, it should be them." ”
"Then investigate. Chen Yuan said in a deep voice, "If you find similar traces, immediately warn." ”
Gou Chen nodded slightly, his body shook, and he disappeared into the night in an instant.
The group moved on.
Soon, under the guidance of Gou Chen, the bloodstains left by the second team were found.
This time, there were four bloodstains.
Three of them are more concentrated, and one is farther away.
Chen Yuan stood in front of a pool of bloodstains, easily called up the holographic map, connected the directions where the bloodstains were found twice into a line segment, thought about it, and immediately broke the road, "Continue to move forward along this straight line, all the way through the canyon." ”
"What...... What?"
Huang Tianchi's eyes widened, and he said with a puzzled expression, "Two groups of people have already been wiped out on this road, if we take this road again, won't we give the beast king a human head in vain?"
"It is precisely because there are already two beastmasters on this route that I choose to continue walking. "Chen Yuan plays with taste.
"What do you mean?" Huang Tianchi was even more confused.
"I understand," Huo Yuan suddenly smiled, "The most dangerous place is the safest place, there are only three or four beast kings in the entire canyon, there have already been two beast kings on this route, and the probability of other beast kings appearing on the same route is much smaller." ”
"That's right," Gou Chen added, "According to the urine nature of the 'Constructor', it is unlikely that all four beast kings will be concentrated on one line, and it may be the safest for us to march along this line." ”
"I'll go, you can do it one by one," Liu Xu laughed and raised his eyebrows at Huang Tianchi, "Is there a feeling that your IQ is being crushed?"
"You can die in two sentences," Huang Tianchi glanced at him, "Okay, then according to what Chen Yuan said, take the route in front and go through the canyon!"
Unifying their thoughts, the six of them reassembled, and Gou Chen returned to the queue and was in charge of the palace.
Sure enough, the route chosen by Chen Yuan not only found no trace of the beast king, but also saw a few small demon beasts.
With little effort, the group marched to the middle of the canyon.
The crowd is preparing to go to the second half of the canyon
As he charged, a pitch-black figure suddenly burst out of the dense forest next to him and fell to the road.
"I'll ...... This is a human being or a ghost," Liu Xuan was startled.
Chen Yuan stepped forward, took out a searchlight from the "virtual backpack", swept it forward, and couldn't help frowning, "Jiang Ziheng?"
This person is the second Shaojiang of the Jiang family.
At this time, he could no longer see a trace of the appearance of a famous young master.
His clothes were ragged and bloodied, and his body was shaking, looking lost and depressed.
Chen Yuan stepped forward and helped him up.
Looking up and down, he frowned and asked, "How did you do this, what about you people in the second middle school?"
"Beastmaster...... The Beastmaster ......" Jiang Ziheng looked at the dense forest in a trembling manner, and shivered coldly.
"Beastmaster?" Chen Yuan frowned and said with a smile.
Jiang Ziheng saw Chen Yuan's face clearly, his eyes widened suddenly, he reached out and grabbed Chen Yuan's shoulders, and said with a frightened expression: "Brother Chen Yuan, save us, we have met the beast king, and the brothers are about to be unable to support it!"
Chen Yuan didn't agree immediately, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where is the Beastmaster?"
Jiang Ziheng shuddered again, pointed to the dense forest next to him and said: "Just in the depths of this dense forest, our team originally wanted to pass through the dense forest and cross to the other side of the canyon, but they didn't expect to encounter the beast king in the dense forest, Miss Xia Liu and my brother are fighting hard, and now they ...... Only you can save them!"
"Chen Yuan, don't pay attention to him," Liu Xu said, "This kid has a bad stomach, and he pit us several times when he 'pulls with weights', and let them be wiped out when the group is wiped out, let's continue to hurry." ”
Huo Yuan also felt that something was wrong, but because of the relationship between Jiang Ziheng and Jiang Xiaoyu, he only gave Chen Yuan a look, and did not directly pick it out.
The corners of Chen Yuan's mouth quietly hooked upward.
Even if the two didn't remind him, he guessed that Jiang Ziheng didn't have any good intentions.
The queue of the second middle school had already set off a day earlier, and according to the time, it had either passed through the canyon or had been wiped out.
There is only one day left for the second task.
Jiang Ziheng suddenly came out to "ask for help" from himself, and there was only one possibility, in addition to completing the tasks delivered by the system, the second middle school also had some ulterior motives.
As for what this purpose was, Chen Yuan could guess it even with his toes.
He raised his head and smiled at Jiang Ziheng: "The people of the Jiang family are in trouble, I must save them, the family should have 'shared blessings and difficulties'." In this case, you lead the way in front, and I will accompany you on a trip. ”
"Chen Yuan, don't, this is a pit!" Liu Xuan said anxiously.
"yes, this kid doesn't feel good at first glance. Huang Tianchi also frowned.
Huo Yuan, Gou Chen, and Wang Chao chose to remain silent.
Chen Yuan smiled faintly, signaled everyone to rest assured, turned to Jiang Ziheng, and said with a flat face: "Saving people is like fighting fire, lead the way, Xiao Jiang?"
Jiang Ziheng was slightly stunned, obviously he didn't expect Chen Yuan to actually agree.
Looking up, he saw that Chen Yuan's eyes were calm, looking defenseless, his expression was slightly soothing, and he said, "Just ...... Not far away, come with me. ”
After saying that, he turned around and went into the dense forest.
Chen Yuan was about to follow, but Huo Yuan couldn't help but say, "Chen Yuan, do you want to 'eat black'?"
"It's just a matter of courtesy," Chen Yuan looked at the figure shuttling in the dense forest, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said: "People have waited patiently for us for two days, and if they don't have a good time with them, how can they be worthy of their 'hard work'?"
