Chapter 21: Danger is approaching
The camp didn't move, although it was quite possible that a monster might come at any time. But there was no more suitable place to transfer, so I had to stay where I was for a while. At the same time, explore the surroundings, determine your surroundings, and find out if there are any suitable places to move.
The girls stayed in the camp to take care of lunch, and some of the boys stayed in the camp to keep the camp safe. After the remaining male students divided up a few to find firewood nearby, the others all went into the forest in groups of three and began to explore.
"Why don't you persuade your opinion? I feel that you are much more reliable as a squad leader than that Ma Jing. Zhang Fan walked beside Qin Liang with an unhappy expression.
At the beginning, he felt good about Ma Jing, and he also voted for Ma Jing when he chose the squad leader just now. But seeing Ma Jing's smile on his face, his mouth humbly accepted the praise of other students, and this opinion was put forward by Qin Liang first, he was a dove occupying the magpie's nest, and it was so natural that Zhang Fan had a bad impression of Ma Jing.
"It doesn't matter if you say it or not, although we are all non-combat students, in fact, the combat effectiveness of intermediate rune masters is not low. As long as the charm is used well, the combat effectiveness is no worse than that of a warrior, and my opinions are just a little safer. So as long as you don't get scared by yourself, it's not a big problem to pass the test in front of you. ”
"Is that so?" Zhang Fan scratched his head, he felt that it was actually quite difficult to survive in the wild, and things should not be as easy as Qin Liang said.
"Don't worry, the school won't watch us all play, otherwise both the principal and the chief examiner of this military training will be sent to the military court. The question that should now be considered is how many points we can score without asking for help, not whether our own lives are safe, and that there are people who care more about our lives than ourselves. Zhou Tong next to him said.
Qin Liang couldn't help but glance at Zhou Tong, and Zhang Fan also nodded thoughtfully.
In fact, everyone knows this problem in their hearts, although the cold-faced instructor said that all the soldiers were withdrawn. But presumably in the vicinity, or on the sideline, they will always keep an eye on the movement here. In the event of a danger that students cannot resist, they will come to the rescue even if they do not call for help. It's just that the score of military training is estimated to be pitifully low.
"You seem familiar with the jungle, huh?" Zhou Tong couldn't help but look at Wang Fusheng curiously.
Zhou Tong's age is about 17 years old, and he is not tall at one meter or six. He doesn't look handsome, but he doesn't look ugly either. However, those thief's little eyes, with such a height, always give people a sense of obscenity.
However, Qin Liang would not be confused by Zhou Tong's appearance. In the entire class, Qin Liang couldn't see through this guy the most, even Ma Jing and Ling Jing combined in his opinion, it was estimated that they were not the opponents of this somewhat obscene guy in front of him.
And when the three of them teamed up to explore, Zhou Tong took the initiative to join Qin Liang and Zhang Fan's team. In the eyes of outsiders, Zhou Tong wants to hug Zhang Fan's thigh, because in such a dangerous environment, Zhang Fan, who is tall and tall, can indeed give people a sense of security. But in fact, Zhou Tong came for Qin Liang.
Like Qin Liang, Qin Liang couldn't see through him. He couldn't see through Qin Liang either, he always felt that the dark-skinned classmate in front of him was too calm, so he couldn't help but approach him curiously.
"I was on the sideline for a month before I came to school." Qin Liang smiled and didn't hide anything.
"I said your skin shouldn't be natural, it turns out that it's really tanned. But what are you doing on the sideline for a month, do you prepare in advance for military training and get high scores? ”
"No, I didn't know that non-combat cadets would have to undergo such military training before I came. I went to the sideline to learn more about the materials, after all, there are many kinds of materials I remember from books, but I haven't seen a few in real things, so I ran over to open my eyes. I'm curious about what I see everywhere, and I get sunburned like this when I run around every day. Qin Liang explained.
Zhou Tong, who still wanted to say something, was stunned, Qin Liang couldn't help but glance at Zhou Tong, who was stunned, and also looked in the direction that Zhou Tong was looking at. Zhang Fan, who had been walking beside him, also seemed to have noticed something wrong and stopped.
"It should be a herbivorous demon beast, and its strength is estimated to have not reached the standard of a first-level demon beast." Zhou Tong, who was stunned, said with a smile, and at the same time glanced at Qin Liang deeply.
Although he noticed the movement not far away before Qin Liang, it was because his spiritual power was extremely strong. And before I came, I didn't know how many times of actual combat training I had to have such a keenness. And Qin Liang was only half a beat slower than him to find the movement, such a keen reaction that even ordinary high-level fighters did not have.
"So we can have more food at noon?" Zhang Fan's eyes couldn't help but light up, the dangerous environment was naturally worrying. But some people are afraid of danger and can't even control their bodies, while some people can't help but be excited in the face of danger. Although Zhang Fan was not excited at this time, he was not quite bold.
"I'm not good at marksmanship." Qin Liang shook his head.
Herbivorous monsters are generally not slow, otherwise they will not be able to escape the prey of carnivores. If there were no Zhang Fan and two people hunting Qin Liang by his side, they would be able to kill this herbivorous demon beast. But with Zhou Tong by his side at the moment, Qin Liang didn't want to expose too much.
"Use the charm, the movement is small. So as not to alarm other demon beasts, I have a spiritual piercing spell here, you wait for me. Compared with Qin Liang's cautiousness, Zhou Tong was extraordinarily generous, or he wanted to gain Qin Liang's trust in this way, so as to better satisfy his curiosity.
A few minutes later, Zhou Tong walked out of the bushes not far away, dragging a sika deer in his hand. Compared to the previous sika deer, which did not have mutations, the current sika deer are smaller, which allows them to have faster speed, and the horns on their foreheads are no longer blunt, but sharp like sickles.
At this time, the sika deer foamed at the mouth, its eyes bulged out, and its pupils had dilated, as if it had suddenly encountered something that frightened it and was scared to death, obviously the soul was attacked.
"Danger should come sooner than we think." Zhou Tong threw the sika deer at his feet and frowned.
"Let's go back and report it, it's better to plan ahead." Qin Liang nodded.
Herbivorous monsters migrate with plants, while carnivorous monsters migrate with herbivorous monsters. The senses of demon beasts are all keen, since there are herbivorous demon beasts nearby. It proves that they don't think it's dangerous here, and since the herbivorous demon beasts have appeared, it is estimated that the appearance time of more powerful carnivorous demon beasts is not far away.
"I'll carry it." Zhang Fan didn't understand the dumb riddles of Zhou Tong and Qin Liang, and even if he did, he didn't care, because he was no longer attracted by the sika deer in front of him at this time, obviously this was also a foodie.
"Get the horns off now, or you'll hurt yourself." Qin Liang pulled out the electromagnetic knife and dropped the two horns of the sika deer with his hand, and was cut off.
The electromagnetic knife in his hand danced, and the shell of the horn that was as sharp as a sickle was quickly shaved off, just like the shell of a sugar cane was slashed off, and in less than ten seconds, the sharp horn that was originally extremely hideous turned into two fresh deer antler velvets that were red in color and bloodshot.
Deer antler velvet is a precious medicinal material, and the antler velvet on the head of the monster sika deer has a higher medicinal value.
"This trick is handsome, and it's just like that, right?" Zhang Fan couldn't help but praise beside him.
"I stayed on the sideline for more than a month, and I also did some odd work of sorting and processing materials, so my hands and feet were naturally sharper." Qin Liang smiled and threw the antler velvet to Zhou Tong.
This pair of deer antler velvet is worth hundreds of yuan, and the deer was killed by Zhou Tong, and the antler velvet naturally belongs to him.
However, this transaction is not profitable, because a spiritual piercing spell is not cheap either. Under normal circumstances, the price of a psychic attack spell is more than double that of a normal attack charm.
"There are some simple tools in the camp, and when you go back, you will be able to grind the essence and divide it a little." Zhou Tong didn't shirk it, took it and put it in the package behind him.
Deer antler velvet is not only a valuable herb that can be used to prepare potions, but also one of the materials needed for some spell potions. Each of the two has a meter of deer antler velvet, and if you grind the essence, you can get about a small bottle of essence powder.
"Thank you in advance." Zhang Fan picked up the sika deer and cracked his mouth and laughed.
Although there is rune paper in the backpack, there is no potion for drawing charms. Obviously, the potion has to be prepared by itself, so everyone searched around, and while checking whether there was any danger nearby, it was actually to see if they could find some materials to prepare the potion.
The three of them picked a few herbs along the way, and the harvest was okay, but most of the potion materials needed to draw the spell were on the demon beasts, and the herbs were only auxiliary. Three people can get a pair of deer antler velvets without danger, which is naturally a happy thing.
"Let's go back and talk about it." Qin Liang glanced around, his gaze seemingly unintentionally passing over a big tree.
The tree doesn't look any different from any other tree, but if you look closely, you can see that this tree has a small piece of bark on a forked branch, which is different from the rest of the bark. The branch stretches out in mid-air, and if you install a camera in a different part of the bark, you can observe a large area around it.
And if Qin Liang was not mistaken, that small piece of texture that was different from other bark constituted a reconnaissance rune. Such runes are used for reconnaissance and are more stealthy than cameras. Obviously, those instructors said that it was open here, but every move of the students here was under their noses.
