Chapter 218: The Remains

Looking at the hideous skeletons highlighted on the surface of the projection lake, Murong Feng's eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkle slightly. Star Sword Legend is different from traditional online games, and one of the biggest features is the pursuit of extremely realistic world view settings. So the monsters in the game never stay in one place, just waiting for the player to hunt them. Therefore, only a few approximate locations are marked in the mission briefing, and whether you can find the mission boss or not depends entirely on the player's own luck!

And now Murong Feng is worried that the mission boss has run into the heavily infected area, in that case, it will be completely useless. Because the trio of the ghost squad will definitely not venture deep into the heavily infected area with them, but want Murong Feng's team to defeat the boss with their own strength, and they are always on guard against the powerful mutant monsters that have been deeply infected! It's simply an impossible task.

Unless......! Murong Feng touched the satchel, and then shook his head secretly.

"Anyway, let's scout the area first, and if we don't find the monster, we'll move on to the next area." Murong Feng said to the Shadow Blade. Rhein marked a total of five possible areas where bosses could haunt on the map, three of which were close to the heavily infected area, and one was directly in the heavily infected area. Only one target area remains, outside the infected zone. And the next area that Murong Feng was referring to was the area that was not infected nearby. And the ghost team will also come here to part ways with them, which means that if there is no trace of the quest boss in the first and second areas, then it can basically be declared that the mission of this trip has failed!

As soon as the 15-minute break arrived, everyone got up and prepared to move on. Only Yukihime continued to look around there (taking pictures of the rainforest scenery). Murong Feng walked up to her and knocked on her helmet to bring her back to her senses. Murong Feng shook his head and said, "Focus on it." Don't look around. The role of vision in rainforests is limited. Listen with your ears and judge by your intuition. Going, keep up. ”

The group set off again, walking through the winding paths that had been carved out, through the dense forests that covered the sky and the sun, and finally reached the outskirts of the first target area.

"Shadow, put a few more scouts in and reconnoitre." Murong Feng once again gave the order to rest in place, and then ordered the Shadow Blade to send a scout to reconnoiter deeply.

Soon twenty bee scouts. Ten arachnid scouts swarmed out. The small target area was quickly turned over by the swarming scouts. And then the feedback came back and it was nothing!

No mission objectives were found, and no other creatures were found! Even the ubiquitous snakes, insects, rats and ants are gone! There is only dense vegetation in the huge area, and there is not a single living thing else!

Everyone felt an inexplicable chill rise from their back spine!

"It's weird! Not a single living thing! What the hell is this place? ”

"Yes! It's too quiet! ”

"Don't you say I haven't found out yet? It seems like we haven't heard insects in a long time? ”

"I don't think I heard the insects since the last break."

"Something weird must be going on here."

"But the mission briefing didn't say a word about the situation here, what do we do now?"

"Quiet!" Murong Feng spoke up to stop everyone's discussion, and was about to turn around when he found Xue Ji squeezed to his side at some point, holding a colorful mushroom in his hand, showing off, "Sister Moon Shadow, look, this mushroom is so beautiful!" ”

"yes, it's beautiful! And it's poisonous! If it weren't for the combat suit, you would have been poisoned! Okay, stop playing. Throw it away. Murong Feng just glanced at it and didn't look closely. Just let her throw away the poisonous mushrooms.

Yukihime looked at the beautiful mushroom in her hand and reluctantly discarded it. After thinking about it, he took out an empty bottle and filled the mushrooms that had been thrown on the ground, then sealed them, ready to take them back as decorations. Then Yukihime clapped her hands and went back to looking for something new.

At this time, Murong Feng walked up to the three members of the ghost team, and as soon as they entered the rainforest, the three of them did not squeak, and always followed the team silently. Of course, it is not excluded that the three of them only communicated something in their own channel, and did not let Murong Feng and them hear it.

Seeing Murong Feng coming over, Major Sarah took the initiative to take a step forward and asked very formulaically, "Soldier, why did you stop advancing?" ”

Murong Feng saluted and replied, "I'm afraid I've encountered an unknown strange event, and it may be dangerous to continue to move forward." So I suggest taking a detour. "Since there is no trace of the boss in the first target area, there is no need to go deeper. It's important to get to the second target area as soon as possible.

Major Sarah pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, this is your task. It's up to you. Lead the way. ”

Murong Feng saluted again, then turned around and returned to the front, ordering a detour.

Now the team must go north if they want to bypass the target area, as they will break into the heavily infected area if they go south. Only going north is relatively safe. But the problem is that if you go north, you will be blocked by a mountain range. If you want to get there, you can only go over the mountains. This was actually not a difficult choice, and Murong Feng chose to go north without hesitation.

The group stumbled and walked for most of the day, and finally came to a steep cliff, and the temporary road opened up along the way was really difficult to walk, and Murong Feng had to let several assault soldiers take turns to step forward to open the way to ensure that their physical strength would not fall below the cordon. In fact, among all the people, Murong Feng was the most suitable to open the way ahead, after all, with her super keen six senses, any wind and grass in the vicinity could not escape her detection. But she had to coordinate the team in the middle, and she had to protect the two medics and the one who was purely here to make soy sauce. It's really a doppelganger.

When the team came to the bottom of the mountain, everyone heard the long-lost sound of insects again, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief. There's nothing more creepy than walking silently in the eerie silence of the rainforest! Now hearing the insects again means that they have finally escaped the unknown danger and returned to the area full of life.

Murong Feng looked up at the cliff that was not very high, and asked the Shadow Blade to prepare the rope.

Suddenly, a piercing scream broke the silence in the forest! All of them raised their guns almost at the same moment and pointed them in the direction from which the screams came!

I saw Yukihime slumped on the ground not far away. I was shaking all over. Murong Feng hurriedly rushed over and pulled her up. "What happened?" ”

"Die. Dead, dead man! Yukihime's tongue trembled, and she couldn't even speak. Just pointed to a piece of grass, and said in a terrified trembling voice, "It's terrifying!" Then he hugged Murong Feng's arm and refused to let go.

Murong Feng was held by her and couldn't move, so she had to turn around and gesture to everyone, and the three assault soldiers marched towards the grass that Xue Ji was pointing at. One of them cautiously stepped forward to take a look, then looked around vigilantly, and then said, "Sir." A human remains were found. It's probably been more than a week since it was rotting! No other cases were found! ”

Murong Feng patted Xue Ji, who was snuggled in his arms, and asked her to relax a little. was about to step forward to check the situation in person, but was dragged by Xue Ji to death, "Sister, don't go over!" That dead man is so horrible and disgusting! You won't be able to eat for three days! Vomit......! Yukihime said that she retched first.

"It's fine, it's just a game. It's not really a dead person. Don't tell me how long you've been playing the game and haven't seen a dead man! Murong Feng added in his heart: He may have seen more dead people in his previous life than he has seen in this life

"That can be the same! The player just turns into white light and flies away without leaving a corpse! Xue Ji patted her chest, endured the discomfort, and said angrily to Murong Feng, "Your brother is too much. Why did you make this game so realistic? Even dead people do it so disgustingly. Vomit! It's over, vomit, the old lady can't eat it anymore, vomit, meat! ”

Murong Feng rolled his eyes when he heard this. Signaling to the two medics, the two immediately stepped forward to help Yukihime, who was retching, out of the way. Then Murong Feng stepped forward to take a look, and found that there were half a body lying horizontally in the grass, only half of the head and half of the body remained, and the whole body was highly decomposed and covered with dark green mycelium. The cause of death is completely unclear. However, judging by his attire, he is supposed to be a human soldier.

Murong Feng squatted down, picked up a branch and picked up his neckline, but he didn't find the dog tag, so there was no way to identify him. I looked at the rest of the area and the surroundings. Murong Feng stood up and clapped his hands, and said suspiciously, "This should not be the scene of the first crime. The deceased must have been dragged here by wild beasts after his death, and half of his body was gnawed off. ”

"Can you see the cause of death?" At this time, Major Sarah came over and asked.

"Sir." Murong Feng replied with a salute, "The corpse is already highly decomposed, I'm afraid it will take an autopsy to find out the cause of death." ”

Sarah nodded, "That's not our responsibility, report it to the top and let them send someone to deal with it." We move on. ”

"Yes, sir." Murong Feng responded, then turned around and ordered, "Keep going." ”

The Shadow Blade stepped forward and handed over the rope, Murong Feng held the rope in one hand, jumped up directly after a few steps, and jumped to the top of the cliff in a few clicks, leaving Xue Ji, who was still in a state of shock, stunned. Several veterans had already seen it, after all, they had all seen Murong Feng leap over the hundred-zhang wide valley with their own eyes. Such a small cliff is not a problem at all.

"Alright, come on." Murong Feng stood on top and tied the rope and announced.

Several veterans climbed up the rope in turn, but when it was Yukihime's turn, her legs were weak, and she couldn't hold on to the rope. It seems that the fright just now has left a great psychological shadow on the girl. Murong Feng shook his head helplessly, flew down, and then picked her up on his back, followed the rope and climbed up the cliff again. Several veterans shook their heads at it, with such a burden, if it was left in reality, they would have stopped doing it a long time ago. Thanks to the game here, even if you are dragged down and unfortunately hang up, you can be resurrected, and there is a pension to take. That's why they turned a blind eye to the girl's reckless behavior along the way.

Murong Feng brought Xue Ji to act together, in fact, he also had a little selfishness, and if he wanted to train her into a qualified soldier, at least experience was necessary. Otherwise, Murong Feng really didn't feel at ease to accompany her to the crypt to find the alien spaceship. Because Murong Feng had a hunch that exploring the mysterious crypt was very likely to involve a world-class plot. It's certainly not that easy to explore!

Once everyone had climbed the cliff, Shadowblade withdrew the rope. Murong Feng identified the direction with a high view, and then drew a new route on the map, and the special team set off again towards the second target area.

Shortly after the group left, the remains lying in the grass suddenly opened their puffy eyes...... (To be continued......)
