Chapter 247: Appearance
Just when Chen Chong's team seemed to have made a discovery, there was another direction on the Wine Ape Ridge.
Many of the thirteen female students in the first team hung colors, their expressions were heavy, and they climbed step by step in the forest with cautious movements, walking towards the higher part of the mountain, while Nightingale and Zhao Junlie also followed the end of the team, silently recording everything.
Compared with the smooth sailing of Chen Chong's third team, the luck of the first team was undoubtedly worse, they encountered a radiant species called the Colorful Shadow Spider shortly after they landed on the Wine Ape Ridge, and the traps and venom it laid directly killed a student on the spot, and it was too late to treat him.
The Colorful Shadow Spider was then set on fire by the angry and panicked cadets and smashed into a sieve, but for the first time, their makeshift squad was attritional, and one of their sisters remained here forever.
And the comrades who witnessed the death of their comrades who got along day and night because of their carelessness, the remaining thirteen students seemed to have grown a lot invisibly, gritting their teeth one by one, and their eyes were cautious and solemn.
"It seems that what happened just now finally made them understand something. ”
After the team, Zhao Junlie sighed in a tone:
"Sure enough, it is through blood and death that a soldier can truly grow. ”
There was no expression on the nightingale's beautiful face, just a faint gaze on the team ahead.
Zhao Junlie's eyes flashed, and he comforted:
"Nightingale, are you worried that the students will blame you? Every newcomer has to go through this step, and you have already taught them what you should have taught, and sooner or later they will have to face the cruelty of this world alone. If they can't even complete such a moderately difficult practical training, it can only mean that this path is not suitable for them. ”
"Zhao Junlie, do you think I'm also a fledgling rookie, do you need comfort?"
Nightingale's cold expression fluctuated slightly, she glanced at Zhao Junlie, and said coldly:
"It's a pity to die in training, but it's just a pity. Although they are all women, my students are not as fragile as you think, and I believe that each of them has already realized before they come, so your thoughts are just one more thing!"
Touching a nail that was neither soft nor hard, Zhao Junlie's expression was a little embarrassed, he coughed lightly, and changed the topic:
"By the way, that scheming guy, why didn't you drive him away Nightingale?"
"Bad mind?"
The nightingale tilts its head slightly:
"You mean Chen Chong?"
"Of course!"
Zhao Junlie sneered:
"A student who is in control, he is still very famous, and he has a great future, but he came to the Rose Camp to be an instructor, you say that he doesn't have other plans, who believes it?
The nightingale didn't know what she remembered, her eyes were slightly unnatural, but she said coldly:
"Mess, what do you think my Rose Camp is!"
"Of course, I believe that with your temper, that kid would not dare to harass you. ”
Looking at the nightingale, Zhao Junlie's eyes seemed to be a little hot, but his tone was jealous:
"Speaking of which, Chen Chong is five big and three rough, and he looks like a reckless man, but he has awakened his dominant ability, which is really shit luck. If it weren't for his luck, he would ......"
Clearly knowing Chen Chong's strength, he was impatient with Zhao Junlie's chatter, and Nightingale said unceremoniously:
"Okay, Instructor Zhao, now is not the time to gossip!"
Being blocked by the nightingale like this, Zhao Junlie was suddenly dumbfounded, and a slight annoyance flashed in the depths of his eyes, but in the end he didn't say anything.
As the chief instructor of the Sword Battalion, his position in the refuge area was no less powerful than that of Nightingale, and he thought that he was fully worthy of the other party. However, the other party has never been pretentious about his overtures, which makes him feel very frustrated.
It's a pity that Nightingale is not an ordinary woman, in addition to the other party's attractive face and figure, both qualifications and strength are very strong, and his previous methods of attracting other women are completely unable to impress the other party.
Damn, this woman can't really be a stone girl.
Yu Guang looked at the nightingale's plump and slender buttocks and legs, and such a thought flashed in his mind, Zhao Junlie forcibly suppressed the evil fire in his heart and hurried away.
About ten minutes later, after two thrilling battles again, the members of a group of members who marched all the way climbed hundreds of meters and had approached the high part of the mountain.
"Stop!"
At this time, the captain of the first team, a female student named Han Ya, suddenly raised her arm to signal, as if she had found something, and came to a thick forest tree to check:
"This should be the feces of a wine ape!
Finding traces and clues of the target, the members of the team showed excited expressions and became slightly agitated, but the vigilant formation was not chaotic at all.
At the end of the line, watching the reaction of the cadets, the nightingale nodded and also took a deep breath, as if to distinguish the smell in the air:
"Yes, the residual smell in the air is indeed ......"
Rustle rustle......
At this moment, a gust of mountain wind blew through for no reason, and the shadows of the trees were waving, and all the branches and leaves around them suddenly shook in unison. And along with the mountain breeze, there is also a vague aroma of plants, which instantly penetrates into everyone's nostrils with the mountain breeze, making people want to breathe greedily uncontrollably.
Well?
Wrong!
The first time he smelled this inexplicable fragrance of plants, the nightingale faintly felt that his body seemed to be a little numb, and the flow of blood seemed to be sluggish, and a sense of uneasiness suddenly rose in his heart, and immediately shouted:
"There's something wrong with the smell! Everybody hold their breath!"
As soon as they heard the nightingale's reminder, the students in front reacted, and took out the filter masks they carried from their backpacks and put them on.
And at the moment when all the students in a team were confused:
Whoa...... Whoa......
Between the mountains and forests, all the trees and plants around the nightingale and others shook wildly as if they had come to life, like a group of demons dancing wildly!
"Who!"
Nightingale and Zhao Junyeol were both battle-hardened warriors, and as if they sensed something, they suddenly turned around and looked in the direction they came.
Tread, step, step.
Then, in the midst of this strange movement, in the direction in which they came, all the plants and trees automatically parted in unison, forming a passage! And on this passage, the figure of a young man appeared, and was slowly walking towards them, as if all the plants and trees were welcoming this man!
The young man's eyebrows were clear and his skin was pale, giving people a sense of harmlessness to humans and animals, but the faint green in his eyes looked extremely eerie against the background of the strange scenes around him.
And after seeing the young man's face clearly at the same time, Nightingale and Zhao Junlie seemed to recognize the identity of the visitor, and immediately changed color as if they had seen a ghost:
"Duanmu Qingxuan!?It's actually you?"
"How could it be you!!"
The young man known as Duanmu Qingxuan glanced at the nightingale, Zhao Junlie, and a group of unknown students, licked his thin lips with his tongue, and said with a smile:
"It's good that you still recognize me at a glance. ”
"Is everything okay in the refuge area? Is the old man still so jealous and hateful?"
"Don't rush, take your time. At the beginning, the people up and down the refuge area didn't kill me, but this time I met an old acquaintance in a foreign country, and I want to treat you well with the highest standards......"
Looking at the nervous smile of the young man opposite, the faces of Nightingale and Zhao Junlie suddenly faded with blood, white as paper, and there was a trace of fear in their eyes.
......
No one knew that the team led by the nightingale had encountered a sniper by a mysterious figure somewhere in the mountains, and at this moment, the three teams accompanying Chen Chong had followed all the way and had found a wine ape's lair.
They are now on a steep cliff, looking through the telescope, you can see that there seems to be a naturally formed cave less than 100 meters on the opposite side of the cliff stream, and from time to time there are gray-haired apes with a height of one person coming out of the cave, playing and playing in the open space in front of the cave.
These gray-haired apes have green fangs and a protruding horn in the middle of their foreheads, which look like the mythical Yakshas. At the edge of the clearing, several strong gray apes with a height of nearly two meters can be seen carrying sharp wooden spears on their backs, patrolling back and forth in the forest, as if they were guards.
At this moment, a group of students fell to the ground, leaning on the edge of the cliff and looking at each other cautiously, and He Li, as the captain, had a solemn face, silently calculating something.
The same figure was hidden behind the rocks and observing the distance, Chen Chong was greatly surprised, and said in a low voice:
"This is the wine ape, and they make weapons?"
Yu Hang laughed and said, "Of course, primates have an innate advantage, and their intelligence is also high among all radiant species. I estimate that if they are given hundreds or thousands of years, they may not be able to evolve into humanoid intelligent beings. ”
Chen Chong was amazed, and immediately thought of a very famous movie in his previous life. The apes in it were somewhat similar to the wine apes he had seen now, and they were all able to make and use tools like humans.
No matter how divergent Chen Chong's thinking was, after more than ten minutes, the captain He Li crawled back, and lowered his voice to the other academies who were waiting with bated breath:
"We're lucky, judging by the number of adult wine apes guarding and the cubs roaming the clearing, this should be a small group that hasn't been around for a long time, and they should have about thirty members, and we can eat them. ”
"Fruit puree has to go deep into the nest to get it. So I decided to ......"
Soon, the fourteen cadets whispered and finished discussing all the tactics. He Limao came to Chen Chong's side and reported:
"Instructor, we decided to go around, survey the terrain first, and then divide the troops into two ways and break through from the front. ”
Chen Chong was noncommittal: "You just have to act, and we will follow." ”
Yu Li nodded. Immediately, she turned around and made a gesture to the other academies, and the group of people nervously and silently got up, ready to go around the back of the cliff.
But at this moment, a gust of mountain wind suddenly hit, accompanied by a little pollen-like dust and some sweet fragrance of grass and trees, directly enveloping everyone who was about to walk down the cliff.
Well?
In an instant, Chen Chong's eyes opened and he said coldly: "Hold your breath!"
This was the first time that Chen Chong had given an order to intervene during the operation, and the students present were suddenly startled, and then immediately took out the filter mask of the backpack and buckled it between their mouths and noses.
Chen Chong, on the other hand, instantly locked on the rocky area twenty or thirty meters below the steep slope, and said with a cruel smile:
"Hide the garbage with your head and tail exposed, get out of it for Lao Tzu!"
