The grizzly bear and the wasp were setting up a tent on a higher ground away from the water's edge near the woods, and Ling Qi saw that the grizzly bear and the others still had blood bars on their heads, but at this time, they should not do anything unfavorable to them, so he opened the hatch.

The little cat woman is no stranger to this kind of wild environment, she suddenly pulled in the gravel next to her, dug out a scorpion bigger than her fist, pinched the tail needle and lifted it upside down, and excitedly shouted: "Brother, there are scorpions!" ”

Ling Qi couldn't help but smile and touched her little head. This little guy is not small!

The Jues team landed next to him at this time, he opened the cabin door just in time to see this scene, and said: "There is still a distance from the water's edge, and the tide is estimated to be unstable, it is normal to have scorpions, you should be careful." ”

Ling Qi saw that she was still carrying a scorpion, worried that she would be stung, so he said, "Xiao Rou, throw it away, this thing will hurt when you bite it!" ”

"Huh? You can eat it! The little catwoman looked at the scorpion in her hand, and her face showed a look of reluctance and thought.

There was a stout elder sister in the knight's team, and she came over and said, "Give it to me, and my sister will help you process it in a while." Such a fat scorpion, let's catch some more, tonight's delicious food has fallen! ”

The little cat woman looked at Ling Qi, and after seeing him nodding, she happily handed the scorpion to the eldest sister. The eldest sister took off the tail needle casually, took out a plastic bag and put it in it, and pulled the little cat girl to continue looking for the scorpion.

Team Lan Bo and Butterfly Flower also came back, their relationship with Ling Qi was quite familiar, they all stopped at the edge of the Tomahawk, He Mingjun hesitated, and also came over, forming a big circle. This made the Grizzlies look very ugly, and the Hornets and several team members looked at each other, and they were also a little gloomy after the vague exchange.

Lan Bo and others began to set up tents, set up energy lamps, some went to the beach to look for fish, others went into the mountains and forests to find some game, or went to small valleys to retrieve a large amount of fresh water. Ling Qi sighed, the natural products of Ming Lanxing are really too abundant, rabbits, hazelnuts, truffles, black fungus, all kinds of game can be seen everywhere!

"Tomahawk brother, you didn't bring a tent?" Another young man from the Jue Si team couldn't help but ask suspiciously when he saw Ling Qi watching the excitement with nothing to do.

"I don't need a tent!" Ling Qi went over to help get food, so many people got together, no matter how you look at it, it was the rhythm of a bonfire party.

The melon-faced woman of the Blue Wave team smiled: "The interior of his speedboat is luxurious and comfortable, and the seats can be transformed into big beds, where do you need to live in a tent like us!" ”

"I'll enjoy it!" Jue Si looked at it carefully, shook his head and smiled.

More than 20 stilt tents occupy a large area of gentle terrain, and the medicine that repels insects and snakes is sprinkled around it, and four fires are also rising, and the thick wood can burn for a long time. Each squad took out their portable energy cookers and began preparing their food. Ling Qi also brought a set and helped cook a large pot of red stewed rabbit meat, the aroma of the meat was wafting, so that many people swallowed their saliva before eating, and they were full of praise.

Next to her, the eldest sister of the Juesi team is also a food expert, frying scorpions in a small pot, with a pot of fresh sauce prepared with fresh scallop meat foam, wild ginger and green onions, wild pepper and mushroom crush, the fragrance is unique, and it directly arouses people's desire to drink. She and Catwoman found dozens of scorpions, even with the addition of grizzly bears, wasps and others, enough for each person to share more than two, but looking at the appearance of the two teams, they were casually barbecuing seafood and animal meat, as if they didn't plan to come over to share dinner together.

Here five squads of eighteen people shared dinner, and the food made their relationship more harmonious, talking and laughing. He Mingjun finally barely eliminated his fear of Ling Qi and was able to interact with everyone naturally. If it weren't for the fact that a few bright red blood bars over there were reminding Ling Qi at all times, he would have thought that this was really a holiday camping.

"You'd better prepare a few days of cooked meat, the environment over there is a bit special, there is no condition to camp like now!" Wasps came to remind.

A group of adventurers suddenly realized, no wonder these guys were just taking care of their own barbecue. Lan Bo had to lead a few people to find more game, and they found a nest of wild boars, the largest one weighed at least more than 300 pounds, and brought it back.

After dinner, and a lot of roasted and cooked animal meat was prepared, several teams rested and exercised. The Wasp signed a credit agreement with the others, agreeing that after arriving at the target island, if the adventurer team finds the quest item according to the information provided by the Wasp, they will be rewarded with 3 million credits. Multiple squads found together are divided equally.

At the same time, there is also a duty of confidentiality and security, and each team is responsible for its own security, and no information about this mission is allowed to be disclosed outside the team. Unless the mission is completed or the Captain Wasp decides to abandon the mission, each team cannot unilaterally quit in the middle of the mission. After signing the agreement, the Hornets paid them a base reward of 50,000 credits per person in advance.

It was very inconvenient to take a bath on the island, Ling Qi just exercised casually twice, and then stopped when his body was hot and returned to the speedboat to rest. The other four squads arranged for people to take turns to keep vigil, but Ling Qi still didn't dare to be completely reassured, so he woke up in the middle of the night and secretly guarded for more than two hours before falling asleep again.

In the morning, a group of people had eaten breakfast and were about to set off, when the sea breeze suddenly became stronger, and Jues looked solemn and predicted a possible storm. Sure enough, they waited on the island for a while, the sea was getting stronger and stronger, the sky was dark again, and the wind and rain were pounding down. The crowd had to stay bored on the speedboat and wait until noon the storm passed.

"It's nearly a five-hour flight from here to the target island, so let's go straight away!" They coped with lunch briefly, and the Hornets continued their march. When there is a color around you for a long time, people can easily get tired. They drove for hours on end, there was no reference over the vast sea, and they felt as if they were not moving at all.

At this time, everyone did not know that the wasp was secretly communicating with someone outside the bright blue star. Although it is not quantum communication, it can use satellites and relays to achieve information transmission across a certain interstellar distance.

Ask him from the other side, "Did you find anything?" We're about to leave here, and time is running out. ”

"So fast? Didn't you say it would be a week before you came? I'm almost on the island of my target, and I'm going to have time to find and pack up my hands, so you'll have to try to delay sometime! Anxiety flashed in the Wasp's eyes.

What they were looking for was a fruit called the Blue Blood Gourd, the size of an adult's fist, ripe for a hundred years, green as jade on the outside, and a mouthful of rare spiritual liquid inside, which was one of the main ingredients in the preparation of the genetic evolution liquid. This plant is very spiritual and will climb and move on its own.

Wasp quickly sent a message: "The main force was also found in it more than ten years ago, and it was not old at that time, so it was kept untouched. More than ten years have passed, and it doesn't know where to climb and needs to find it again. ”

"There's no way to delay, you only have two days left at most, if it doesn't work, you will withdraw, and the operation will be canceled!"

……

A different scene finally appeared in front of them, two huge sea beasts like small mountains were fighting against bullies on the sea surface, waving their necks dozens of meters long to attack and bite each other, and their huge bodies stirred up monstrous wind and waves.

Ten speedboats continued to travel far away, and in the evening they finally saw a huge island in front of them, with a radius of more than 30 kilometers.

There must be many unknown dangers on such a large island, and if nothing else, the pterosaur bird alone is enough to make people careful. Ling Qi told the little cat girl not to run around casually, and asked Jue Si for precautions through the ship's communication system.

From seeing the island to approaching, they flew for more than twenty minutes. Eventually, ten speedboats approached and hovered over a gentle beach.

It was only then that the wasp announced the information on the medicinal herbs it was looking for.

"This gourd fruit is the quest item we're looking for, it doesn't grow on the surface, it's in an extinct volcanic cavern in the center of the island. The cave is huge, and the interior extends in all directions, reaching deep into the seabed, and most places can be navigated flexibly by speedboat. ”

Ling Qi looked at the information of the mission items announced in the communicator group, the small gourd on the image was very beautiful, hanging with long vines, crystal clear, and a mouthful of liquid was faintly visible inside.

The wasp's voice continued: "It is very particular about its collection, and together with the root vines, it cannot be damaged in the slightest, so you must notify me immediately when you find it, and I will deal with it myself." ”

Eventually, the wasp told them that if they couldn't find the Blood Gourd within two days, they would withdraw and leave, and the mission would be canceled.

In the depths of the cave, the radar will fail, and they can only record their own movements, and even personal communicators will be useless, after all, they still use communication tools that rely on satellite signals instead of quantum communication devices. Therefore, the wasp will remain on the ground, and the team that finds the target needs to return the way it came, and go to the hole to inform him to enter.

The entrance to the cave is located in a huge sinkhole with a diameter of about two kilometers, more than ten kilometers from the sea. Ling Qi probed down from the edge of the big pit, and the bottom was about more than 300 meters deep, still within the range of the speedboat's floating height.

This is a habitat for pterosaur birds, they use sharp claws and large pecks to dig out their nests in the walls of large pits, at this time there are frequent pterodactyl birds in and out, some will fly over to investigate the speedboat, do not find the target and leave.

Jue Si looked solemn and said in the group: "If you want to enter the crater, you will definitely be besieged by the pterodactyl bird, and the situation is a bit serious. Once inside, rush into the lava passage as soon as possible to avoid being fenced. ”

The others were also a little drumming, but they didn't expect the mission to go underground at the end, but it was impossible to retreat at this time.

The wasp group of three left one speedboat to guard here, and the other nine speedboats went in to find the gourd. Following the orientation provided by the wasp, they quickly descended to the bottom of the crater and saw that the real crater was hidden on one side, with a caliber of more than thirty meters, extending diagonally downward.

The crater is slightly higher than the bottom of the crater, so there is a pool of water at the bottom of the crater, but the crater is dry. The surrounding shrubs and grasses are very dense, proving that the volcano has not erupted for a long time, if not dead.

As the nine speedboats arrived, they seemed to have stabbed a hornet's nest, and countless pterosaur birds flew up from the cave walls and the bottom of the pit, like dense bombers, covering the sky and the sun to besiege the speedboats.
