Chapter 27 Moon Lake
The big team slowed down noticeably.
The Wild Python Forest also initially showed its power to the adventurers, and the third- and fourth-level demon beasts had long fled from the wind, hiding from the mercenary team of 200,000 people, but the poisonous insects underground didn't care so much.
In the thick layer of decay, there are all kinds of poisonous insects, no matter who you are, no matter how many people there are, as long as you pass by their attack range, they will not hesitate to attack!
Moreover, these poisonous insects have been growing in the python forest for a long time, and their breath has been integrated with the forest, which is difficult to detect with divine sense.
Along the way, dozens of people have been bitten by poisonous insects.
The bite is light, the bite is swollen and purple, the limb is several times thicker, and the heavy one is directly coma and shock!
"Apply insect repellent powder to all of them!" Shangyang sent Chen Dao to convey it and sent packets of insect repellent powder to various mercenary teams.
This is the unique secret recipe of the Shangyang faction, which has an awesome breath for insects, and is specially used to repel insects, and the effect is excellent, and sure enough, after applying the powder, most of the insects will no longer attack them, as long as they are careful, they will not be in serious trouble.
Wang Canghai took the insect repellent powder, but did not apply it, and her teammates did not need this kind of thing.
Rustle rustle!
Rustle rustle!
Footsteps on the leaves, making a rustling sound.
The peculiar smell of plants and decay in the forest surrounded everyone, and the air was dreary. However, this is nothing at all for the mercenaries who are used to the Python Forest.
Because this section of terrain happens to be the most familiar to the Shangyang Sect, they take the lead, and eighty percent of the spiritual plants and minerals looted in this area also belong to them, which is said in advance, and the other mercenary teams have not said anything about it.
"Master, there is a blue wind grass three hundred meters to the left."
"Master, there are crystal grass and anchovy grass on the right two hundred meters."
"Master, there is a basketball-sized copper grease just 200 meters under your feet."
The Heavenly Genius Spirit constantly reminded Wang Canghai that where there are spirit plants, where there are minerals, it is not bad at all, and even when she encounters that kind of large mineral vein, she is included in the black seal, leaving nothing behind. Anyway, she won't come to this place again for the second time, and it's nothing to peel that week. So, the benefit of falling behind the tail comes, and you can leave it from time to time to take it. Some mercenaries expressed surprise that she found some spirit plants from time to time, she was scavenged by the Shangyang mercenary team before, and she could still find all kinds of spirit plants and minerals from them, this ability is really powerful, why are her eyes so thief?
Some people also reported this matter to Chen Dao of the Shangyang mercenary team, and Chen Dao didn't say anything, after all, they had searched those places, and the other party could still pick up the leaks, which was really their own ability.
"Send someone to follow." Chen Dao said.
Wang Canghai took the spirit plant carelessly, causing the eyes of the people who followed and watched widen, and they couldn't believe it.
The second layer of the Wild Python, although there are not many mercenaries and explorers to take it, but it is the first time that such a large-scale fanfare, and it is also the first time that such a carpet is scavenged, but this little mercenary team leader can often pick up spiritual plants behind the pile of rocks after others have searched and played, or take them in the trunk of a tree, or pick up the soil layer to take it...... It's really surprising, I really don't know how she found those things, you know, those things may be searched by tens of thousands of people a few times, and they may not be found.
"Nima, again?" When Wang Canghai broke open a stone and took out the spirit plant that grew inside, the mercenary's shock had reached its peak.
Wang Canghai had already discovered the mercenaries who were following her, she didn't plan to break this, so she let him follow, at best, she only knew that she had taken some spiritual plants, and how could she know that she had put a large number of minerals into the black seal.
This barren python forest is really a good place, rich in minerals, and the reason why it has not been mined much is because the monsters in the forest are not vegetarians, and there is no way to achieve large-scale mining, so they can only sigh.
Who would have thought that such a freak as Wang Canghai would come, with such a treasure as the black seal.
"It's okay, it's just some spirit plants." The mercenary wiped his sweat and looked at it for a long time, the strange mercenary captain only found some spirit plants, although some of those spirit plants were very rare and rare, but they were nothing.
After watching it for a while, the mercenary retreated quietly and reported the situation to the captain of the Shangyang mercenary.
"It's just some spirit plants, then it doesn't matter." Chen Dao said with a deep groan.
This expedition mercenary team came from a mysterious way, if he could, he didn't want to offend the other party, if it was just a little bit of spirit plant, then there was no need to be serious.
Everyone continued to move forward, because of the Shangyang Sect's insect repellent powder, they walked through this area very smoothly, and then entered another area, which was the familiar area of the Sancai mercenary team.
Each area is very huge, hundreds of kilometers away, even if you want to loot, you can't loot much, at most it's just a drop in the bucket, but it's a lot, the Shangyang faction in front has already made a lot of money, and each mercenary's space bag is full.
As she went deeper into each area, Wang Canghai's behavior was also known to everyone, and several mercenary captains would even make fun of her, and even had a strange sense of satisfaction.
After all, there are only seven people in the expedition mercenary team on the surface, and when they go to dig up spirit plants, they are often just two children who follow curiously, and the man in black does not leave an inch, and she is the only one digging. And when you think about your team, there are tens of thousands of people acting together, and thinking about it like this, a sense of satisfaction arises spontaneously. Look, it's the same mercenary captain, and the treatment is different.
"How's it going, how many spirit plants have you collected?" Shangyang Captain Chen Dao asked happily.
"Well, it's not much, it's only a few dozen catties." Wang Canghai replied strangely.
"Oh, more than a dozen pounds, work hard!" Chen Dao left happily.
"There are still a lot of spiritual plants here, hey, I've found them for you, I really don't know what to say." Su Huan, the captain of the Sancai mercenary, raised his willow eyebrows and said in surprise.
"Hehe, it's okay, I used to practice with my master." Wang Canghai replied.
"Mmmm, my sister really wants to hire you, hehe." Su Huan said and left.
"Yo, that's good, I've dug a lot, right, do you want me to be generous to you!" Yin Jianfeng, the captain of the bladed mercenary who had been losing the bet before, said with a smile, not too happy.
"Are you here to find a sense of zài?" Wang Canghai was depressed.
"Hehehe!" Silver Sword Wind laughed and left.
"Sick!"
Conversations like this come up every now and then, and these guys come in every now and then as if they're fine.
But that's fine, if they want to laugh, let them laugh, anyway, when they laugh, she has already quietly received a lot of minerals, and if they look closely, they will find that she will not dig the same spirit plant at all.
Every time she passed through an area, she was able to collect tens of thousands of kinds of spirit plants, and the mine also collected hundreds, tens of millions of tons, which were piled up in the Golden Immortal Country.
By the time she reached the second area, she had collected about 60,000 kinds of spirit plants, and the minerals had reached hundreds of millions of tons.
Walking and stopping, occasionally encountering some third-level and fourth-level group demon beasts, they were cleaned up without much effort, and it took about ten days for them to enter the third layer from the second layer of the Wild Python Forest.
There is a clear division of strength between the demon beasts, and this wild python forest, from the second layer to the third layer, is also very different in geography.
First of all, the aura here is more abundant, compared to the place occupied by the five great families, there are not many places, and some places are even more abundant, so the aura of epiphytes is extremely rich, and those trees have also grown for tens of thousands of years or even hundreds of thousands of years, although they will not become spiritual plants, but the tree quality is tight, I am afraid that even the earth immortals cannot be cut off, and the branches are like steel. The soil is always black and shiny.
Powerful pressures came from the depths of the forest.
The mercenaries were vigilant, this forest has now shown their fangs, the fifth or sixth level demon beasts are not afraid of them, this forest has millions of group demon beasts at any time, and it can completely suppress them in terms of numbers.
"Straighten out, rest!" Chen Taoran ordered.
More than 200,000 mercenaries stopped advancing at the same time and temporarily rectified, and the captains of the major mercenaries were also invited into the tent temporarily set up by Chen Taoran to discuss.
Looking at the luxurious, tent made of feathers and flowers and silk, served by many stunning beautiful maids, Wang Canghai really sighed, this Chen family, sure enough, is the shelf, they are all in the depths of the forest, and they don't forget to enjoy it.
"Guys, we have to go through the third layer and reach the core area of the Python Forest, what is your best plan?" Chen Taoran smiled and said with a kind face.
The mercenary captains, you look at me, I look at you, and they all turned their eyes to Mo Zhen.
Mo Zhenmo's family is the first in Gesang City, and the Mo family is also the one who broke into the Python Forest the deepest before, and he has the most say in how to pass through the third layer of the Python Forest.
Chen Taoran's eyes flashed, and the expression on his face was impeccable: "Brother Mo has a high opinion?" ”
Mo Zhen's expression was grim, he arched his hand, and said: "Chen Gongzi, the third layer of this wild python is extremely dangerous, there are countless demon beasts living in groups, and my Mo family ancestor has also suffered a lot of losses here, but he has found a safer road." ”
Chen Taoran thought for a moment and motioned to continue.
"In the Wild Python Forest, the demon beasts have a strong sense of territory, so there must be a buffer zone between the two populations, and there are several small races occupying these buffer zones, if we are a few people, we can bypass these small races, but if more than 200,000 people go over, it is inevitable to encounter those demon beasts!" Mo Zhen said calmly, and took out a map, indicating which places are where the big races are and which are the small ones.
"So, what is the strength level of those small clan demon beasts, and how many are there?" Chen Taoran asked directly.
"Those groups are all fifth-level demon beasts, equivalent to the strength of the fifth layer of the earth immortals, ranging from about a thousand to ten thousand, the most notable of which is this group of fifth-level demon beasts flying cranes, they have keen eyesight and strong combat effectiveness in the air, the most difficult thing is that they will make a call to notify other demon beasts when they find the enemy, so they must fight quickly! If there are powerful masters in the Childe team, you can kill them first! Mo Zhen said that he didn't like this kind of report-style reply, but in order to be able to complete this mission safely, he still told this Chen Gongzi everything he knew.
Chen Taoran was silent, tapping the table with his fingers, and the atmosphere was silent for no reason.
After about ten seconds, Chen Taoran smiled elegantly: "Of course, if necessary, the elite of my Chen family's mercenary team will take action." ”
The mercenary captains breathed a sigh of relief, and when they reacted, they all shook their heads secretly, they couldn't imagine that this Chen Gongzi would put so much pressure on him!
"So what route should you take?" Chen Taoran asked again.
"Crossing the Purple Mountain from Moon Lake, you can take the shortest route to reach the core area of the Python Forest." Mo Zhen replied.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Taoran deployed the mercenary team and made a plan.
When everyone thought that it was almost time to leave, Chen Taoran spoke again.
"Then I wonder what the captain has to do?" Chen Taoran turned his head and looked at Wang Canghai.
Wang Canghai originally wanted to come over to report and try to reduce his sense of savings, but he didn't expect this Chen Gongzi to notice her!
It's really-
"I'm only a mercenary team of a few people, so I can't do anything at all, I can only hug your thighs." Wang Canghai said with a smile.
"Oh?" Chen Taoran's face suddenly sank, "Raise your head and look into my eyes!" ”
There was no doubt in that voice that there was coercion!
He always seeks stability, and he can't tolerate any differences, and he knows the details of the seven mercenary teams, but he can't figure out the details of this small mercenary team! This feeling made him very unpleasant, and this operation, must not go on a business trip! So, if there is something wrong with this woman, he doesn't mind dealing with it secretly!
Wang Canghai's eyes turned like electricity, he raised his head, a little arrogant, a little hesitant, and his voice was cold: "What does Chen Gongzi want to do?" ”
Chen Taoran looked at those eyes carefully, and suddenly smiled: "Hehe, don't mind, don't mind, it's just a joke." ”
"It's not funny!" Wang Canghai shook his hands and left angrily.
The seven mercenary captains looked at each other and had to resign.
"Chen Gongzi." When he was about to reach the door, Su Huan turned his head and seemed to hesitate, "Please don't blame my sister." She is sincere, Wang Canghai's personality has an appetite for her, and she is also a woman, so she has to fight for it more or less.
"You're a blunt person, don't worry, I've always loved people like you." Chen Taoran smiled softly and looked at Su Huan softly.
Su Huan's face suddenly turned red, his heart was pounding, and he left in a panic.
"Yo, I can't see it, Tao Ran will also pity the jade!" Hua Yu said unhappily, "With that kind of appearance, you also deserve Xiao Xiang?!" ”
Chen Taoran's face had already cooled down, and he didn't pay attention to the flower language.
Hua Yu quickly knew that she had made a mistake and changed the topic: "That Wang Canghai, do you want to get rid of it?" ”
"When she looked at me just now, if she was afraid, then I must find a way to kill her, now, I just need to take precautions, if necessary, then let her die under the claws of the demon beast."
"Huh? Why? I look at her appearance, and she dares to play hard in front of you! Huayu's eyes were murderous.
"If she is too scared, it is pretending, she can enter the seven mercenary teams with seven people, how can she not be arrogant? If she pretends to me, it means that she is afraid of me, how can a seven-person mercenary team be afraid of me? So, if she pretends to be scared, then she has to get rid of it! Chen Taoran said.
"Then the way she looked just now, she was also pretending!" Flower language again.
"It's the same outfit, but the meaning is different. Although she is also pretending, she is actually not afraid of me, and she has to pretend to be afraid if she is not afraid, which means that she does not want to be my enemy. So this time she came to the Anaconda, she came for something else. ”
"Will that have an impact on our plans?" Huayu hurriedly asked.
"With her?" Chen Taoran just gave Huayu such an answer.
"Yes, Tao Ran, I was too careful." Huayu immediately understood what he meant.
Wang Canghai left the tent, his face cold.
The team started again, led by Mo Zhen.
Entering the third layer of the forest, everyone did not dare to be sloppy, and their steps were much lighter.
The captains of the mercenaries have already conveyed to the mercenaries that entering the third layer will have to go through several inevitable battles, so the atmosphere is very condensed.
Many mercenaries on the third layer of this mercenary have never been there, and all kinds of rumors about it are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so they are more careful between the routes.
Wang Canghai's divine sense was released inch by inch, melting into this forest, the pores of her whole body were wide open, and she wantonly absorbed the wood aura here, and it would be a fool not to absorb such a rich wood aura.
Ahead, Mo Zhen and the old mercenaries who came out to protect him from several families were exploring the road, bending from time to time to avoid something. The mercenaries are not like the first and second layers of the jokes, they don't say a word, showing their Su zhì as mercenaries. Just like that, in the cold and silent atmosphere, I walked for another day. On this day, many mercenaries who had never been to the third layer felt a little thrilled, and from time to time they heard the roar of the demon beast and the coercion of the demon beast, this kind of taste was not very pleasant!
"Okay, everyone, pay attention, there is Moon Lake ahead, it is the first site we want to arrive, there are a large number of flying cranes and fanged apes here, we have to pass through here, we must be ready for battle!" Mo Zhentong guò mercenary medal said coldly.
When the mercenaries heard this, they were all tense.
Mo Zhen had already posted the general situation of Moon Lake in the Mercenary Medal, and everyone was able to probe and arrange the formation.
More than 200,000 mercenaries touched the moon lake.
The Moon Lake in the Wild Python Forest is a small murderous place here, and there are often all kinds of demon beasts coming to drink water, and it is controlled by the two major demon beast races of fanged apes and flying cranes all year round.
However, there are also many treasures in this lake in the forest, and it is a place that people love and fear.
Soon, hundreds of inquiring mercenaries touched the edge and saw a sparkling green lake, as well as the demon beasts guarding the edge of the lake.
