Chapter 35: Deep in the Jungle
Zhuo is the captain who distrusts Shi the most, and he firmly believes that he is the best person to lead the team.
In terms of force, prestige, and ability, he felt that he was the best in the team today.
Such self-awareness made him make trouble with the leader of the sixth generation for a while after Shi's appointment, but unfortunately there was no result.
Although there was no result, the leaders of the six generations did not support Shi much, let alone reprimanded Zhuo, which made Zhuo see a little hope.
So he took the opportunity to explore the jungle and launched a challenge to the burning stone.
"Whoever can explore the meteorite first has the right to become the leader of the team, and if not, will automatically quit. ”
Scorching pointed to the bulging mountain bag deep in the jungle, where the green meteorite had fallen.
Shi glanced back, his brows furrowed, he didn't think it would be good for him to make such a military order.
His gaze swept over the other captains, most of whom had defiant expressions.
"Okay, if you want to participate, you can participate, if I lose, I will resign from my position, and I will nominate the last person to win. ”
Shi Shen said in a deep voice.
His words made the eyes of many captains who were interested in competing for the position of team leader light up, and they looked at each other, and finally three of them decided to compete with Shibi.
"This mission, the most important thing is to explore the area around the green meteorite, and the competition is still in the second ......"
As soon as these words fell, Shi saw the roll of the eyes of the three captains, including Zhuo.
"In any case, safety is the most important thing, and secondly, try to explore as deep as possible, and if anyone is lucky enough to walk next to the green meteorite, observe the situation there, and come back alive to tell everyone. ”
"Understood, let's go. ”
Zhuo said impatiently, and the other two echoed.
Shi's face changed, but in the end he didn't say anything, just repeated the rule that each person was allowed to bring a small group of people, and he could retreat at any time when the situation was not good.
"It's your first time exploring, but we're already in the third time, so as long as you remember the rules, we'll know that for a long time. ”
There was a slight hint of sarcasm in the burning tone.
Shi nodded, not angry at his words, just reminding everyone to check their equipment and bring their jerky again.
These words were inevitably complained about, but he didn't care, just finished them all and gave the order to set off.
The small team that followed him was the team he joined at the beginning, and the original captain Ran was also in the team.
"Leader Shi, since they don't listen, you don't need to repeat it all, you will be ridiculed for no reason. ”
Captain Ran spoke, he felt that Leader Shi was too stubborn, so he kindly reminded him.
"I am the leader of the team and the person in charge of this exploration mission, and it is up to me to say it or not, and it is up to them to hear it or not. ”
Leader Shi's voice couldn't tell whether he was angry or not, and his tone was as plain as ever, at most a little serious.
Captain Ran glanced at his face, still depressed and a little depressed.
This face has been like this since the first day Captain Ran saw Shi, as if Shi had grown like this, and rarely saw any other expressions on this face.
Pressing the guess in his mind, Captain Ran got up and began to examine his weapon.
If in the past, the inspection was influenced by the stone leader, but now it is a mandatory requirement.
Because the positions of the two have been reversed, although Ran is still the captain, Shi is no longer a team member, but the leader of the team.
"We are familiar with the north side, and we go from the north side. ”
Leader Shi stretched out his hand and pointed to the jungle to the north, and spoke.
These words made Captain Ran stunned for a moment, now is the time to compare speed, don't go directly to the west, but go up to the north and go around?
He couldn't understand what Chief Shi was thinking, didn't he want to win?
Shi glanced at Ran, but he could understand his thoughts.
"Don't worry, they have already returned twice in vain, and the road directly to the west may not work. ”
Listening to Leader Shi whispering this sentence in his ear, Ran seemed to have been immobilized.
He always thought that Shi Shi couldn't do anything with a few captains, but on the other hand, he actually deliberately provoked several captains and made them can't wait to enter the jungle and go west.
You must know that in the jungle, rash action is very dangerous, and too frizzy action is even more deadly.
"They won't be in danger. ”
Ran couldn't help but worry about them.
"We've explored twice, and if there's any danger, at most it's abrupt, we're the real danger. ”
Leader Shi looked at the jungle in the west and spoke.
Only then did Ran react, there was time to worry about others, it was better to worry about themselves, and go deep into the jungle, they hadn't done it.
After everyone checked the equipment, they all looked at Leader Shi, waiting for him to give an order, but they saw Shi looking at Ran.
"You are familiar with this side, order you to go down, you take the road, just treat me as an ordinary team member. ”
Ran nodded, he also felt that he was more familiar with the jungle in the north, and he could lead the team to move forward faster.
"The end of Line 3 goes deep into the jungle to the north, so we take Line 3 and go straight to the end. ”
The group received the order and began to enter the jungle, running through the jungle, following the third route that had been explored earlier.
The routes that are explored and marked are relatively safe routes, and it cannot be said that there are no accidents, but accidents rarely happen, and if there is a strong beast on the way forward, the team that has explored will change the route.
Line 3 had just been explored by another team not long ago, and luckily there had been no beasts occupying the territory on the route in the past few days, which made their path very smooth.
"That's the end here, and further on, it's a place that hasn't been explored. ”
Standing in front of the last sign, Captain Ran turned back to Leader Shi and said.
The stone leader nodded, he kept running with a bow and arrow in his left hand and a stone knife in his right hand, and he was a little wheezing at this time and did not calm down.
"Take a rest and eat dried fish before you set off. ”
Exploring where the green meteorite is located is not something that can be done in a day.
If you run all the way to the green meteorite, full speed forward, the time of day will definitely come, but in the jungle today, no tribesman dares to do this.
Maybe the totem of the Ice Bear Tribe has such brute strength, but others can't and don't dare.
Today's jungle is full of dangers, and the danger comes not only from fierce beasts, but also from the leaves and flowers around them.
After everyone ate dried fish and rested for a while, not long after starting again, one of the team members was bitten by a man-eating flower.
"There's only one flower, dig the roots, dig the roots quickly. ”
The stone leader roared, took the lead and rushed towards the root system of the cannibal flower, and frantically threw away the frozen soil next to the root system of the cannibal flower with the stone knife in his hand.
Some of the other warriors swarmed up, some of them dug with him, and the rest guarded a few of the digging warriors from being devoured by the man-eating flowers.
