Chapter 363: Difficult Confluence (3)
I finally found someone who could help manage the book review area, but it turned out to strike again! o(╯□╰)o
Ask for tickets
Two days of tent life in a row made everyone feel lazy, and of course, there was a stinking smell. Ever since someone turned on the outrageous add-on of toileting, almost all players have issued their worst curses on it. Since the player needs to eat and drink to recover their health and body value, it may take two or three trips to go to the toilet compared to the aborigines, who only need to go to the toilet once a day.
This can be said to be a very terrifying torture for players who stay in the woods, especially those comatose players, when they wake up, the first thing they want to do is not drink water or eat, but run out with their stomachs in their hands. After drinking mung bean multigrain porridge for a whole day, and then holding it for a whole day, Fei Yun felt that they didn't wake up after the poison disappeared, but woke up with.
But having said that, after all, you can't let them solve the problem directly outside, because the demons' sense of smell is very sensitive, and God knows if they will smell the stench and search for it. So most of the toilets will run away from the hiding place and pull the excrement directly into the water. Although this is unsightly, and at the same time, it is suspected of polluting the environment, but at least there is no need to worry about being discovered by demons. So these players who came to their senses were finally carried and dragged a few miles away to solve the problem, which almost didn't suffocate them.
Cleaning up the tent of clutter, the dagger put the tent away. According to the distance calculation, Mo Yan and the others had already entered the swamp at this moment, and they were only less than twenty miles away from Fei Yun's current place. In order to ensure concealment, everyone drove their own small boards, and although the danger was high, they were extremely fast and could cover at least five kilometers of water per hour if they rowed hard. Coupled with the leadership of Mo Yan, who is familiar with waterways, even the slowest speed can slowly catch up after four hours.
Of course, the premise of catching up is that Fei Yun and their speed is slower than Mo Yan's, but this is a bit unlikely, after all, the surrounding roads have been very familiar to the thieves, where is the swamp, where is the mire, where there are crocodiles, have been recorded on the map. Although they had only figured out the distance of about ten kilometers, at this distance, Fei Yun could move as fast as they could, without worrying about being attacked by someone, and at most beware of the patrol demons in the sky.
Compared with Fei Yun and his group's huge team, Chen Kai, who only had eleven people, was very light in his actions. After nearly three days of treatment, the demonic power on the thief's body was finally dispelled, and the wound began to heal slowly, at least he was able to get off the stretcher and move his hands and feet the next day after receiving the treatment. It's just that compared to the thief's injury, Van Clery's injury is more troublesome, it took a whole day to correct the bones, and when he set off, Van Clery's injury was only half gone, but Van Clery, who couldn't wait, didn't want to lie on the stretcher. After a short rest, they directly asked Chen Kai to drive along the path he had explored, and everything except fur and felt cloth that could be used was left behind.
It's just that Chen Kai estimates that the rest of the rags are only liked by goblins, and in fact, they are about the same. Soon after Chen Kai and the others left, their camp was occupied by goblins and became the camp of another goblin tribe. Of course, it was not something that Chen Kai and the others could pay attention to, because they were already ten kilometers away when the goblins found this camp.
Compared to Fei Yun and the little demons who were cautiously avoiding the patrol, Chen Kai's steps were obviously bigger, after all, the few people who followed Chen Kai except for Fan Cree and Kashgar were wounded, and the others were all strong seventh-order warriors. Naturally, there was no need to worry about ordinary low-level little demons, and since they were far away from the demon's patrol area, they didn't encounter a single demon for a long distance. At most, they were pythons or crocodiles that came out of the grass, but these beasts were all disposed of without exception and became reserve food in Chen Kai's backpack. There were ten big stomach kings around him, and even with the food capacity in Chen Kai's backpack, there was a hint of a food crisis.
"Luckily, such a big python is enough for me to eat for a day!" Chen Kai excitedly skinned and deboned a three-meter-long python and stuffed it into his backpack, as for the internal organs of the python, except for the snake gallbladder, which was swallowed alive by him, all the others were discarded without exception. Watching Chen Kaisheng swallow the snake gall bladder the size of a child's fist, even Savaskilo, who had abnormally thick nerves, felt his scalp tingle. Although the aborigines know that snake gall bladder has a strong medicinal effect, and some snake gall bladders are also mixed into healing potions, few people swallow snake gall bladder raw. So seeing Chen Kai's mighty movements, even Fan Kerry, who was nervous and abnormal, felt a little dizzy.
"Kaichen Knight, you really feel that this snake gall is eaten raw!" Fan Kerry watched Chen Kai swallow the snake gall without changing his face, and suddenly felt that the other party was very brave. He once heard travelers in some parts of the north pull out the poisonous weeds in the field to eat, and when they ate them, they were still stunned and shouted what kind of ginseng, but they heard that the travelers who ate the poisonous radish were all poisoned.
"What's wrong? Can't you eat it? No way! Although Chen Kai said this, he was very happy in his heart, because according to the system's prompts, his vision clarity increased by 0.5 percent. This may be the effect of the eye-catching effect of snake gall bladder, according to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine in reality, snake gall bladder is a good thing, so Chen Kai couldn't help but grit his teeth and swallow it even if he felt disgusting. The benefits of getting the price of nausea naturally made Chen Kai happy, and the clarity of his vision could not be seen to be useful for the time being, but it was always beneficial.
"Didn't you get it! But although pythons are not poisonous, but you are afraid of bugs in it, I heard that some people have eaten raw python meat in the past, and a lot of bugs have grown in their stomachs! It was terrifying, a large number of insects bit through his stomach and came out, and the person was directly eaten up and died! Savaskilo gestured with his hand as he said this, as if a large number of worms had crawled out of his stomach.
"Probably not! Our traveler's physique doesn't seem to have parasites other than poison, of course, if it's acute, it may happen, but if it's chronic, it's not possible, so don't worry, let's continue on the road! There are still nearly 30 kilometers to go, and you must reach the predetermined place before dark tomorrow, otherwise you will miss the rendezvous time! Chen Kai said softly, as for the place of rendezvous, it was determined by Chen Kaitong's own map after comparing it with Zhao Tiezhu and Su Xinghe in the communicator, and according to the image in the shadow on the map, it was a bit similar to the forest shrubs, so the place was determined.
"Then let's hurry up!" Fan Clery nodded, and then slowly took out the healing potion given by Chen Kai and poured a little pain into his mouth to suppress the pain of the wound. A long-distance operation like this was a big burden for a wounded man like Van Clery, and because he was getting closer and closer to the area where the demon was located, Chen Kai couldn't release the healing spell on Van Clery. The fluctuation of divine magic will attract the demons patrolling the sky, which is a lesson that Chen Kai has learned in exchange for blood and tears.
The group cautiously walked through the dense swampy meadows, and when they reached the end of the road that Chen Kai had explored, nearly an hour had passed, and the rest of the road needed to be led by Kashgar, the old thief in the team. After all, thieves are much better at searching for roads than Chen Kaike, especially a veteran like Kashgar who has been mixed in the ranks of adventurers for many years, and he knows at a glance where there are natural traps and where swamp creatures are hidden.
In fact, Fan Clery, who had been in the swamp for nearly a month, knew better than Chen Kai how to walk fast in the swamp, but they had never advanced to the place where there were demons patrolling in the north, so they didn't know how terrible the demons were. But this does not mean that they have no way to avoid the search of the demons, you must know that they fled into the swamp under the hands of the demons in the first place, although they lost a few manpower, but they are very familiar with the tracking of the escaped demons.
At this moment, all of them wore straw hats made of thatch, which is common in swamps, and they were also wearing straw cloaks. Although such things can make people's skin very uncomfortable, they can hide well in the grass when they are worn. In particular, the densely erected blades of grass on the cloak are specially woven into the same shape as the thorns erected by hedgehogs, so that as long as a person lies on the ground, his entire back is like a thatched grass.
These cloaks were all woven by Van Clery when Chen Kai went out to explore the way, so the cloak was a little yellow, but the thatch on it was freshly worn. Chen Kai: They wore such a camouflage and walked carefully through the swamp grass, the underneath of the thatch, that is, the outer layer of the armor, smeared with thick plaster, preventing the spread of heat in the body and the smell of the body. Compared with the human smell, the stinky ** smell of the plaster is thicker, which is enough to cover the strong human smell on Chen Kai's body.
It's just that the plaster is easy to dry, and once it dries, it will fall off and need to be applied again, which is a more troublesome thing. Of course, compared to his own life, this trouble is nothing worse than the demon smelling the smell and rushing down to find Chen Kai and them, and the plaster can be found everywhere in the swamp, just dig a few times in the wet swamp. Relying on this simple disguise, Chen Kai and the others walked through the grass of the swamp very safely, and only those beasts with a particularly keen sense of smell or the snakes lurking in the swamp that they stepped on would find the existence of the group.
However, the road in the swamp is too difficult to walk, and in order to rush to the set round goal, Chen Kai must pass through a swampy water, of course, this is the water area that Chen Kai saw on his system map, what the real reality is like The terrain can only be known after getting close to that area. Whether it was a small earthen boat that risked being discovered by a demon or a plank that could walk through the swamp would not be known until we reached the waters.
As for how long it would take to reach the water area where there might be zài, Chen Kai calculated the distance a little, and found that as long as he didn't take the crooked road, half a day was basically enough, but the reality was that it was basically difficult to walk in a straight line in the swamp, and the result of walking in a straight line was either falling into the swamp and being swallowed or being used as a snack by some wild beasts. Although there is an old thief leading the way, in fact, the path Chen Kai and them are still crooked, and in terms of travel speed, they are not as good as Mo Yan who is paddling on the water. Mo Yan, who was familiar with the road, even if they went out day and night, rowed nearly thirty kilometers of waterway in one night, and then put away their plank boat to rest. This efficiency made them almost the first to reach the rendezvous point, and that was by luck, of course.
Due to the existence of those terrifying aquatic creatures under the swamp waters, in fact, Mo Yan had to avoid the pursuit of carnivorous creatures under the water in addition to the detection of the demons in the sky. Even if Mo Yan, the leader of the team, was alert enough, he had to wave his arms and paddle for his life in the face of crocodiles and other carnivorous beasts that smelled human smells. Therefore, in order to avoid the monsters underwater, they often have to deviate from the course and sail somewhere else, and then slowly circle back so that the distance becomes longer.
Of course, the most troublesome thing is Fei Yun and them, although they got the method of weaving a camouflage grass cloak from Chen Kai, but after all, this requires better weaving skills, and there are only a few girls in the whole team who can do this. Even if they kept making zuò, they managed to produce less than thirty pieces, and eventually the capes were equipped on the warriors, and the thieves and archers continued to use improvised green cloaks as camouflage. Therefore, whenever the demon patrol team comes, everyone will jump to find a place to hide, and then carefully wait for the demon to fly away from the sky. In this way, Fei Yun's movement speed has become very slow, basically walking less than five kilometers in half a day, and he is not as fast as a long-distance runner.
"***, damn demon, I really want to take a heavy machine gun and burst them all!" Lu Xiaofeng looked at the little demon flying in the sky depressedly, and then muttered in his mouth, this is already the third wave of demon patrols in half an hour. It seems that the closer they get to the Demon Gate, the more the number of patrols increases, although at the moment they are at least eighty kilometers away from the Demon Gate in a straight line, and maybe even ninety kilometers, but there are no fewer demons patrolling at all. Coupled with the lack of camouflage, the thatched cloak made it difficult for everyone to move quickly, and the speed was uncomfortable.
"That's it! God knows if bullets are effective against demons, so the thick leather armor may only be worn by heavy snipers! Of course, the new magnetic guide cannon may be able to kill a single snip, but in this game, it is already a miracle that you can do a heavy sniper! Fei Yun joked in the team channel, everyone knows what the effect of the gunpowder weapon in the game is, and now the most powerful is said to be the cannon made by the demon, which is simply depressing to death. In fact, the player once planned to forge the cannon himself, but as long as everything that touches the cannon word is a controlled product, the result of casting it privately is to go to jail for a few days. At the same time, the cannon is also a very expensive thing, according to the dark dagger, Lin Lei once tried to cast the cannon, but the nearly one million gold coins thrown in it did not even make a small cannon.
More than a dozen high-achieving students who are said to be metallurgical majors ended up groping in the game for nearly three months with books, and spent tons of iron and copper ingots to create the rotten muskets in the game. That power could only shoot two bullets a minute, and even small saplings could not be fired. Speaking of those rotten street muskets, it is said that they were finally bought in the dwarves' underground shops, but they only fired two gold coins, which was not even enough for the cost of the weapons. This shows how high the cost and risk of making firearms in the game are, don't look at those metallurgical high-level students who say it is very beautiful, it really makes them run the blacksmith's house, even Chen Kai is not as good, and it is already very difficult to build a gun barrel, and it is naturally even more difficult to build a gun barrel.
While Fei Yun and Lu Xiaofeng were teasing, the demons patrolling in the sky slowly flew away, and the group informed Mo Yan and them of the general direction of the demon's flight, and then slowly walked on the road to the rendezvous point again. Everyone held their breath as they walked, and at the same time grasped the ropes tied to their bodies with their hands, ready to pull up their companions who could not bear to step into the swampy mud puddle. However, for Fei Yun, the traps in the swamp are not the most dangerous, the most headache for them is the monsters in the swamp, and if they accidentally encounter monsters and encounter demon patrols, it will be a sad mess.
When they had traveled two kilometers again, they encountered a tragic event, I wonder if they were lucky, and when the group finally walked out of a meadow covered with thatch, and prepared to enter the bare swamp quagmire of guò into the opposite meadow, they saw two swamp water rhinos. Yes, two huge swamp rhinos that are in heat and are also doing the most important things in their lives.
No matter what kind of wild animal it is, especially large ones, it is absolutely not in a good mood when it is disturbed about the most important thing in life, and as a result, the group has just stepped out of the thatched grass and is chased into it again, and at the same time is frantically pursued by the angry public water rhino. The water rhino's sheer size allows it to ignore most of the swamp's mire, and even if it is confined by the mire, the magical rhinoceros with water energy can get out of it in its own way.
With every step of the angry water rhino, a dark blue frost would form under its feet, directly freezing those soft dirt and mud puddles, so it was basically unlikely that it would fall into the mire, but Fei Yun and the others were more tragic, because they didn't have the terrifying ability of the other party, so they could only run crazy along the path they came. The most tragic thing is that when they escape, they seem to see a small dark shadow in the distant sky, which may be the prelude to the arrival of the patrolling little demon again.
"Alright! I don't think we went out today and didn't look at the yellow calendar! How can such an unlucky thing happen! Fei Yun looked at the water rhino rushing behind him and felt unusually aggrieved, didn't he just break through the matter of reproduction! When Fei Yun was a child, he didn't know how many dogs he had seen reproducing, and he hadn't seen those pet dogs chase him so fiercely.
"It's not just that I haven't looked at the yellow calendar, it's like a broom star! Don't you see that black dot in the north? Damn the demon patrols are out again! Su Xinghe said bitterly while running with his giant sword, and now he also felt that his group of people was a little unlucky. If you're not unlucky, how can two monsters collide together, and it's still one after the other.
"Old Su! I think it's better not to run! Running may not be able to run away, it is better to gather and do it, it is best to kill the water rhino, and if you can't kill it, you can delay it and think about countermeasures. And I want to be chased by the water rhino either by it or by the demon after being found and killed, rather than hanging up, it is better to go back and try, to ensure that we can still survive if we kill the water rhino! Zhao Tiezhu said to Su Xinghe with his shield on his shoulder, and after finishing speaking, he didn't care whether the other party agreed or not, he directly took the shield and rushed towards the water rhinoceros.
", let's go! Kill back, brothers, we have less than five minutes, take out your family funds and kill this rhinoceros for me, and then dig up its magic crystal and go back to the staff! Su Xinghe raised his giant sword and directly cut the rope around his waist, and then rushed back, and the other players took a look and found that there were more and more people running back, so they gritted their teeth and killed back. Eighty or so people came back one by one, everyone has been together for a while, and they know each other well, and they are basically friends, so after hearing Su Xinghe's greeting, they analyzed the pros and cons and found that it was impossible to avoid the pursuit of the water rhino, so they bit and killed back.
"Boom!" With the first dull impact sound, Zhao Tiezhu's shield first collided with the straight horns of the water rhinoceros, and the huge impact force directly smashed a depression in his shield, and at the same time, his whole person was also knocked down and flew out. However, the speed of the water rhino was reduced, and then the other shield guards and earth knights continued to slam their shields into its body, although it basically had no effect, but the water rhino stopped directly.
"*** This guy has frost power attached to him!" Zhao Tiezhu got up from the ground and touched his precious shield, which not only had a deep depression but also a large area of blue frost. Of course, the same goes for several other shieldguards, the Earth Knights, whose armor is covered in blue frost.
"Kill!!" After Zhao Tiezhu and a few of his defenders stopped the rhinoceros, Su Xinghe and a few of their warriors began to attack, and the huge body of the water rhino was not only a deterrent but also a burden, at least it was attacked by a larger area. Su Xinghe can attack its body without any scruples, and one attack is more than 20 people together, and the rhinoceros is surrounded up and down.
