Chapter 232: Search

The soldiers did not slaughter the old and young women and children of the gray natives when they entered the stone city, and the goal of their trip was only the fruit of the tree of life.

"As long as you let my people go, take whatever you want." One of the surviving young grey natives said he was the son of the Great Chief.

Through interrogation, the redeemers learned from him where the Great Chief hid the fruit of the Tree of Life.

However, the fruit of the Tree of Life was indeed found, and it was in the house of the Great Chief. However, all five fruits are faction items, and the redeemer can earn 100 team faction points by turning in one.

In the end, Su Ming, Thunder Bear, Dart Rider, Da Mei, and the other Salted Fish Adventure Group each team divided one equally and handed it over to the accompanying soldiers for him to take away.

"Big guy, let's loot first, farewell!"

After seeing Su Ming's combat effectiveness, the dart man subconsciously changed his words, and Lei Xiong, Da Mei and others also searched all corners of the stone city, the gray natives must have something good to survive in Mencer Star for so long.

After brutally kicking through the intact buildings, the four parties each found some herb ore and animal and plant materials, and they did not encounter any obstacles along the way. The grey natives huddled in a corner, their eyes filled with panic and a deep hatred and rage, fearing that the redeemers would go on a killing spree.

Several soldiers followed the captives, and several regimental commanders tried to break them apart and ask them something that the Federation could not know. But several soldiers made it clear that if the redeemers wanted to sneak around and pick the fruit, they would not only be there to fight, but also to supervise the people.

Careful thinking was exposed, and several regiment commanders were not embarrassed. The faces and discipline of the crowd were lost in the mission.

"So here's the problem......"

"Which excavator technology is stronger?"

Xiao Ke ghost sent a god to answer the words of the OL girl, and when he saw the OL girl's unkind eyes, Xiao Ke stuck out his tongue.

"Where did you get the holy fruit?" Thunder Bear's wife, OL Girl, asked a few captives.

They were reluctant to find the valuable loot and wanted to know the whereabouts of the Fruit Tree of Life. Wouldn't it be nice to even think about carrying this tree home?

"There are gods guarding them, and we only secretly pick some every year before the hot season." A young-looking male gray native knelt on the ground, looking at the group of people in front of him, the corners of his eyes twitched, they were afraid that they were crazy! I also want to hit the attention of the tree of life.

"Gods?" The OL woman frowned.

"I've heard it's taller than the tallest shelter tree!"

The young gray native pointed to a nearby tree, which was the kind of tree that could reach a diameter of up to 5 meters thick and a height of 100 meters.

"Shhh

A crowd gasped, a metaphor that was much clearer than the gods.

"Damn×N!"

"Where is it?" Xiaoke's nurse obviously doesn't want to miss the opportunity and wants a piece of the pie.

"Go in this direction for five days......" the gray indigenous youth stretched out his hand, pointing in a certain direction.

"Do you know what happened to me? If I find out you're lying, your people will die. The OL woman's tone was light, but ruthless.

Da Mei and Lei Xiong immediately rushed to the direction of the Tree of Life with people, what are the gods? If they have the ability, even the gods want to pack and take it away!

The dart riders obviously don't want to compete with a group of people, they are few of them, and they are no match for Thunder and the Big Pretty Adventure Group anyway.

The Blood Moon Adventure Party plans to follow the soldiers back to the base to see if they can receive the next stage or side quest.

"Is this going to be a headquarters?" A soldier sees a few of the adventuring parties intending to make a move on the Tree of Life, and knows that they don't die.

"Don't miss the opportunity, you won't miss it. If that god eats the fruit out of his mouth, you will be responsible? Da Mei patted the fair-faced soldier on the shoulder and said, her white chest deliberately rubbing against him.

"You can go, you can go ......"

After several adventure groups left, Su Ming and the three stayed in Stone City, and he still had some questions he wanted to know.

"How did you manage that ability to smoke all over your body?"

"The magic fruit bears fruit on the same tree as the holy fruit."

"Why do you chiefs grow scales?" Su Ming asked again.

The indigenous youth shuddered, pursed his lips and stopped. He glanced up at the indifferent Su Ming, and extinguished the idea of nonsense.

"It was obtained from the temple." The indigenous youth closed their eyes in resignation.

"Temple?"

"It is a relic created by ancient prophets, and the people of all generations can obtain mystical powers in it. However, in recent decades, only my father has been able to do it, and no one else is qualified. ”

"Ruins?" Tang Tian's eyes lit up, and she was curious, her sub-profession was obtained in the ruins.

"Where are the ruins?"

"It's useless for you to go, you need the blood of our people to gain strength there."

When Su Ming heard the words of the indigenous youth, he did remember that the big chief had a kind of blood energy. It is true that he has no blood, but the young man in front of him has.

Untied for this young native, Su Ming also kindly gave him a kind look at the animal skin clothes, and then the three of them left.

After all the invaders left, the surrounding natives gathered. Looking at the devastated scene around him, the heir of the Great Chief clenched his fists, leaving tears of humiliation.

Su Ming found a shelter tree, easily dug a tree hole with a knife at a high place and drilled into it. He was so sleepy that he was exhausted mentally and physically after a night of fighting.

When I woke up, the sky outside the tree cave was bright, the unknown birdsong was pleasant, and the air was fresh and humid.

The two girls were sleeping soundly next to each other, and the insect repellent potion was still emitting a strange fragrance. The body has been repaired overnight, and all the injuries have been repaired by the passivity of the burst of life.

"Gollum!"

I don't know whose stomach rang, and Su Ming found that his hungry chest was sticking to his belly.

In the early morning, Lin Hai smoked from the cooking, and Su Ming and the three of them made an open-air BBQ, as a foodie in the Celestial Empire, Su Ming naturally brought all kinds of spices.

Grilled foods are the best parts of some exotic animals, such as thigh meat and tenderloin. After a dozen catties of meat were roasted, the three of them started, the women were all foodies, Tang Tian and Jasmine were full of gluttony, so what kind of lady was there.

"Bunny is so cute, how can you eat it, Hiccup~"

Tang Tian covered her belly, there was a rabbit-like rodent creature that she caught, but the rabbit's paws scratched Tang Tian, and the result was that Tang Tian ate most of them with tears.

The fourth stage of the mission has not appeared for the time being, and Su Ming still has a branch of the flying dragon, so he is not afraid of having nothing to do. As for the tree of life, of course he had to put a foot in it, and no one would have too many of them.

Last night, the Redeemers and the Soldiers returned to the makeshift base first, and the Federation would not let the Redeemers come to this way.

The damaged mechs were recovered, and neither the aircraft nor the engineer left. After the new parts were shipped, they worked overtime all night to repair the mech.

The Federation's aircraft set off almost at the same time as Su Ming, the sky was overcast and the air pressure was relatively low, and Su Ming could feel that it was about to rain.

The Grey Natives say that the location of the Tree of Life will take five days, and the exact coordinates are unknown. So before leaving, Thunder Bear took a prisoner who had been there.

The moisture of the water vapor causes the position of the flying insects to be very low, and from time to time you can see thousands of birds preying on the forest sea, moving white waves, shuttling through the lush and vibrant earth, and the rest of the predators chasing the birds, the natural scenery is mysterious and charming.

The big predators on rainy days huddle in their nests, yawn lazily and continue to sleep.

Referring to the information of the Gray Natives, the location of the Tree of Life should be 150-200 kilometers away from Stone City, and after Su Ming flew for a few hours, he found the Federation's flying machine on a hillside.

The gray natives who had been on a plane for the first time were about to be scared out, and after landing, the sad brother's legs trembled, and he kept muttering about heretical demons and monsters in his heart.

After recovering from their senses, the Grey Natives observe their surroundings. It was clearly not the road they had traveled, so it took some time to find the route.

According to the Grey Natives, the Living Tree grows near a waterhole. They didn't see the so-called gods last time they went, but they picked a certain amount and left according to the ancient rules.

The debris on the ground was wet with a layer of mist, and everyone shuttled between the giant pillars of mist and mist, and the canopy above their heads covered the sky and the sun, as if they had come to the fairy island in the sea.

The dart man respectfully asked Su Ming to walk in front of him, there is this humanoid radar, which is better than any detector.

The hum of the mecha startled countless flying insects and beasts, and some creatures that liked to travel on cloudy days walked out of their hiding places, and the wriggling reptiles "clicked" on the branches and ground, and the smell in the air quickly increased.

It is a pheromone emitted by a mating insect on a cloudy day, which is highly toxic.

Everyone wore masks and cautiously followed behind the gray natives and Su Ming. A certain redeemer accidentally stepped on a spore plant, and the dust emitted stuck to his skin, falling to the ground in one second, convulsing in two seconds, and GG in three seconds.

As soon as the nurse took out her staff, the old man had passed away peacefully.

Even the gray natives who have lived countless generations do not dare to say that they fully understand the forest, and this unknown area is full of beautiful traps of death.

About an hour later, it was raining heavily. Raindrops crackled on the broad leaves, and swift creatures weaved through the bushes in the smoke and rain, chirping to signal vigilance.

A two-meter-thick python broke the peace, and a certain tan stepped on its body, thinking that it was a fallen dead tree, but the next moment a bloody mouth bit him with a "rattle".

Pythons are used to eating dead things, so after Brother Tan was bitten, he was quickly entangled again.

The crowd was in turmoil, and the terrifying python that was twenty meters long twisted and flipped over, stirring up a lot of mud, and Brother Tan's face turned purple, and he was about to spit out a mouthful of old blood.

"Zheng!"

The sword passed through the rain curtain and cut off the head of the giant python neatly. The body of the giant python churned violently, and the stinking snake blood splashed, quickly staining the ground dozens of meters around.

Before leaving, the federal commander who led the team instructed that he should not shoot at will until the moment of crisis, in case of attracting predators, it would cause the praying mantis to catch cicadas, and the yellow finch in the back, in the back...... Endless hunting.

When the time comes, wake up the so-called "gods", and it will be lively.

The frankness of escaping death has lingering palpitations, and this ghost forest has simply left a shadow on him. Everyone left the area quickly, and the heavy rain would dilute the smell of blood, but there was no guarantee that no predators would be interested in taking a look.

That python knew how to hide its breath, and it was a cold-blooded animal, so Su Ming was stunned and didn't notice it. This python will lie on its stomach somewhere and wait for its prey to pass by, and they can stay still for months.

If they don't move for a long time, their bodies will sink into the mud, and with the camouflaged deadwood complexion, Brother Tan didn't notice anything unusual when he stepped on it.

"I recognize this place, and it's only a half-day walk in this direction." After walking for another hour, the Grey Native saw a marked stake, left by his people.

It's easy to do with clues, but things are always unexpected. The native had barely taken two steps before being dragged into the burrow by a spider on the ground that was a meter wide, and the screams died down to the ground.

This spider is also able to hide breath and energy, it creates a camouflage lid on the ground, and once the prey passes by, it will attack instantly, and it can inject venom and wrap it up in just 1 second, and pack the prey away.

"It's all long snacks, the predators here are good at hiding, don't rely too much on my abilities." Su Ming stood against the energy barrier and invisibly avoided the rain above his head.

The female redeemer shuddered, no matter how many storms and waves they experienced, this furry monster full of legs should be afraid or afraid.

The heavy rain continued, and after walking for several hours, the group encountered more than a dozen crises along the way. The most lethal danger was that a certain hand-to-hand melee pulled a hanging rattan, and the group of rattans with a width of 30 meters underground was like a huge net, pulling dozens of people in one go, and the mecha weighing several tons was dragged up by more than a dozen rattans.

Everyone hurriedly swung their knives and slashed, and a few unlucky ones were dragged to the plant sacs on top of the trees, and the terrible wails gave goosebumps all over their bodies.

From then on, everyone was well-behaved, Tang Tian and Jasmine followed Su Ming closely, looking around with two pairs of apricot eyes, for fear of something strange popping up.

From time to time, long strips of bloodsucking insects and leeches fell from the trees, but fortunately, everyone was holding umbrellas and did not get bloody.

As evening approached, the sky was as overcast as night.

The heavy rain turned into a light rain, and it was still falling sparsely.

Climbing over a hill, everyone saw a pool of water with hazy water. At night, the water is misty and surrounded by towering trees, encompassing the tranquil waterhole.

"This should be the goal." The new commander, Zos, said with a telescope.

It was still raining, and the ambient temperature was low. There are no obvious biological signs in the thermal imaging footage.

"It's possible that the target is in the water, launch a missile, and see if you can force the target out."

Su Ming: "??? ”

Thunder Bear: "??? ”

……

Zuos really deserves his name, shouldn't a normal person launch a probe?

"Sir, if that native hadn't lied, the 100-meter-tall creature would definitely be an ancient species, and our mecha might not work. It's better to send a detector to investigate. ”

A soldier who was familiar with Zos suggested that this was what a normal person should think.

Zos pondered for a moment, and felt reasonable. So the soldiers were asked to launch a flying underwater probe.

A few minutes later, the results came out, and apart from some fish, shrimp and plankton, there were only aquatic weeds under the water.

"Sir, the waterhole is only 20.3 meters deep, and there can be no ancient species."

Hearing the news of the scout, Zos's heart was much more steady.
