Chapter 221: Searching
The craft came to a standstill in a sparsely wooded area, and the Redeemers slid down the rope to the surface, where the Grey Natives had once been found.
Federation detection drones have only occasionally spotted a troop of grey natives, whose stronghold is not pinpointed.
After everyone landed, the aircraft gradually moved away, and the commander of the operation, Herrot, was a black-faced seven-foot strong man, with a claw mark on his face, extending from his eyebrows to his cheekbones, and he piloted the mecha to lead the rest of the mecha team and began to search in the dense forest.
The soldiers were divided into one team, and the redeemers were divided into one team, and the two did not interfere with each other.
Su Ming and the ten-member adventure group of the dart rider formed a temporary alliance, not all of them got together, in case the Tree of Life fruit was discovered, how would this thing be divided?
Therefore, several large and small adventure groups chose to go it alone, and the three of Su Ming and the Blood Moon united because they needed to make up for their needs.
Now it depends on whose luck is good, the first team to find the gray natives will have the possibility of getting the Tree of Life Fruit, this treasure is too tempting, eating one is equivalent to adding 10 points of physique, 10 points of intelligence health and mana bonus.
The strength of the Grey Natives is considerable, and the Federation calls them Grey Natives because of their technological backwardness, but it does not mean that this group of Aborigines is weak.
The adult combat power of the gray natives is 2nd rank per capita, and this strength level is comparable to those soldiers who are injected with genetic drugs, and they can't survive in this world with just their brains.
This operation roughly delineated a radius of 50 kilometers, and the two teams of about 200 people submerged into the jungle, like the sea falling into a drop of water, without any sense of existence. In such a complex topography, it makes no sense for ordinary people to come more. The Federation only carried about 5,000 genetic fighters this time, and the remaining more than 5,000 were civilian and some non-combatants.
The Warrior's teammates operate a small monitoring aircraft and observe the wind and grass around them. The geography of the west is even more strange, with swamps, quicksand, insect swarms, and all kinds of jungle imaginable dangers can be encountered here.
Su Ming didn't fly into the sky to find it, and the drone didn't find the stronghold of the gray natives, and they might be hiding in the woodland or caves.
The map shows that this area is the western garden, Su Ming entered this lush old forest, the sunlight rushed in through the cracks, and the surrounding area was a messy dark green, and there was no place to see what looked like a garden.
One of the Guard's teammates felt a chill on his neck as he walked, and he reached out to touch it, and an arm-long leech fell from a high place and sucked him on the neck.
In a burst of screams, the female mage used flames to roast the leech down, and even if its body was pulled into thin strips, the dark yellow bloodsucking creature was reluctant to let go.
After the leech was dragged off, the back of the remote neck was almost torn off a piece of meat. In just a few seconds, he lost a lot of weight, and his body fluids were sucked by 20%. The leech creature fell to the ground, slick and greasy on the ground, and the group of women who watched it shivered all over.
Some creatures are not afraid of insect repellents, in addition to the kind of leeches and man-eating ants, this kind of cat-and-dog-sized creatures, the acid sprayed can corrode the gold and stone, and a group of people were chased by the overwhelming ant colony with bloodless faces, but fortunately, Su Ming sensed the breath of the underground in advance and escaped.
This woodland is too weird, the strange characteristics of various creatures are beyond comprehension, and Su Ming stopped again as he walked, and the dart guests followed him very obediently.
"Big brother, what do you feel again?" The young woman mage asked in a low voice.
Su Ming stretched out his hand and pointed to the crown of a tree somewhere, and everyone looked up, but they didn't find anything unusual except for the dense branches and leaves.
"Click!"
Stealthily loaded, Su Ming raised the muzzle of the gun and aimed in a certain direction of the canopy, and with a dull sound, several tree trunks on the ground suddenly moved.
Take a closer look, it is clearly an insect limb with thick human legs, dozens of meters long, and the main one is hidden in the canopy of fifty or sixty meters high, this is a super giant long-legged spider!
A sharp limb stabbed towards Su Ming, covered with steel needle-like spider legs, like a spear with barbs, Su Ming dodged sideways, the spider spear pierced into the soil for several meters, and brought out a large piece of dirt when it was pulled out.
A few spears stabbed down on the rest, striking a spark on the Tan's shield.
Long Yuan came out of the sheath, and the sword flashed. The limbs were broken one after another, and the sprayed dark green liquid corroded the fallen leaves on the ground.
The crowd panicked for a moment, but fortunately, the dart player calmly commanded, and everyone scattered in all directions, Tan protected the back row, and a few remote users eliminated. The sound gun shoots at the spider itself in the heights.
As the head of the group, the dart man naturally has two brushes, and the scimitar turns into a ring of shadows, as if a crescent moon cuts spider legs full of needles and felt, and the two nurses are on the acceleration buff, and it is not difficult for everyone to dodge.
"Bang!" A minute later, the spider fell to the ground, its juice splashing, and its spider legs were cut off by Su Ming, and finally lost its balance.
Bullet casings smoke flew out of the chamber of the gun, the smell of gunpowder was pungent, and Jasmine used her sniper cannon to blast the spider's head like a watermelon, and all kinds of slimy liquid were disgusting.
The dart picks up the box on the ground, lilac. After opening, there are only some materials, and everyone shares them equally, which is considered a windfall.
Su Ming's breath rhythm is comparable to an exploration technique, with him, everyone doesn't have to worry about walking and scattering.
……
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
The branches on the ground jumped with the tremor, and the insects under the dead branches and leaves crawled out of the ground uneasily because of the tremor, Su Ming and the others hid behind the trees, and the source of the earthquake was a black "mountain" in front of them.
The soles of its feet are human-footed, covered in black curly hair, its legs are slender, and its upper body is submerged in the canopy. Through the gaps in the trees, its fangs and blood-red eyes could be faintly seen. With a terrifying body size of nearly 100 meters, the redeemer at this stage has to remain in awe.
This creature is a nightmare, even the wyvern is only a younger brother in front of it, and after the super giant ape is far away, the dart riders dare to appear.
"My God, Grandpa! Can you really live here? "The one in the Blood Moon is relieved, and the attributes of this creature are all question marks in the detector.
Threats in the jungle are hard to guard against, such as moths lying on tree trunks and disguised as tree bark, the scales of this thing fall on human skin, and they will instantly react with human tissues, and the strange phosphorus powder can ignite human oil, and a hapless melee contact will be severely burned, like a red-skinned monkey.
The man-eating plant was hidden deep in the grass, and even Su Ming couldn't prevent it. One of the mechanical legs of a transhumanoid was dragged into a digestive bag, and when it was pulled out, only a melted half-amputated limb remained, a acid as thick as an alien bodily fluid.
Everyone was wearing isolation suits and moving forward cautiously, most of the plants in the forest were poisoned, especially those thorny plants with spikes and blades, and they would have to drop two or three percent of their health if they were stabbed.
The circle circled by the drone has a diameter of fifty or sixty kilometers, and it is not difficult to find a place to live in such a large environment.
Su Ming's suggestion was to look along the water source, the gray natives would definitely have to drink water, and maybe they could find their traces from near the water source.
After walking for five hours, Su Ming and the others came to a small lake, where a thin layer of smoke floated on the surface of the lake, and some water birds rose and fell with the waves. A group of people were covered in blades of grass, and their faces were covered with scratches from the edges of plants.
"Should we go over there?" The dart player was a little troubled.
"I suggest that the two teams search separately and get together again if they encounter problems that can't be solved." Su Ming proposed.
"Okay, life and death are up to the sky, and wealth is in people. Whoever finds the Tree of Life fruit first is considered lucky. Let's go to the left, you feel free. The Boomer departed with a group of men.
The dart man was shrewd, and there was a branch of the river in his direction, and the gray natives were likely to gather higher near the river.
After the two teams separated, Su Ming chose the direction on the right, the edge of the lake was a rocky beach, and the sufficient water vapor caused the temperature in this area to be relatively cool, Tang Tian was going to wash his face, but he saw crocodile-like creatures crawling along the shore and dispelled his thoughts.
After walking for a while, Tang Tian muttered why Su Ming didn't use his flying ability to find a native, this pampered girl still hadn't changed her delicate temper.
"Don't rely too much on others for everything, it only makes sense if you are capable, do you think it's hard to travel, what if I don't have the ability to fly?"
Su Ming observed the footprints of all living creatures along the lake, and although Tang Tian was not happy, he could only follow with a sullen face.
Obviously, the gray natives did not have the habit of establishing a stronghold at the edge of the lake, and the various giant footprints along the way proved the danger here, and Su Ming avoided many dangerous creatures along the way by relying on the rhythm of his breath, and there was no need to waste time in unnecessary battles.
After walking for an hour, Su Ming encountered traces of human activity, which was a cigarette butt. This should be left behind by the Redeemers of the Grey Native Camp, and each Redeemer can only see their base camp after choosing a faction.
After finding useful clues, Su Ming searched around, and sure enough, there were traces of some vegetation and shrubs being cut down by sharp weapons.
Choosing the Grey Native camp may greatly increase the chance of obtaining the Tree of Life Fruit, each faction has its own advantages and disadvantages, both the Clam Empire and the Federation have a firepower advantage, but the Grey Natives, as natives, must have an innate lead in resources.
The cacophony of insects was comparable to mechanical noise, a cicada-like insect with wings vibrating for several kilometers.
Occasionally, you can also encounter some red fireflies, the creatures here are sometimes more inconspicuous and deadly, Su Ming encountered a fist-sized bee, its tail thorn can actually leave a hole in Long Yuan's knife body, that kind of piercing attack is even more terrifying than red fireflies, and the kind of bee stings in the detector's information are also poisonous, not much lower than the damage of red fireflies.
Along the way, Su Ming encountered this bee nest, as big as a house, and its whole body was made of special gray-brown beeswax, which was as hard as steel, and even the stealth attack could only barely break through.
He wasn't dying, but this bee honey was a permanent amplification item, which Su Ming had learned about at a third-order of the Void Net for an extra 500 Void Coins. That third-order had been lucky enough to get this honey before, and consuming 150 grams could permanently increase 2 points of constitution and enhance toxin resistance.
"I heard that bees are afraid of smoke, you can try it with poison pepper tear gas." Tang Tian suggested.
"I didn't bring it."
"Coincidentally, I brought it!" Tang Tian smiled evilly and took out a few smoke bombs, which were so fierce that they could lose their sense of smell when they took a puff, comparable to poison gas bombs.
After Su Ming got it, he ran over incognito, and as soon as a few poisonous pepper smoke bombs were released, the insect called the stinging bee immediately exploded its nest.
Su Ming waited for a few minutes and then flew over with bated breath, the nest of the stinging bee was huge, and it was not difficult for the entrance and exit to accommodate a person.
The nest is full of neat beehives, the neat hexagonal nests are covered with crystal clear honey, Su Ming broke off a large piece of beehive, he originally wanted to have a pot, but the effect of the poisonous pepper smoke bomb is almost gone.
After leaving the hive, the overwhelming stinging bees returned to the hive one after another, and they found the lost honey and were extremely furious, under the instructions of the queen bee, a swarm
The stinging bee leaves the nest and attacks all living creatures it encounters around it.
Returning to the two teammates, Su Ming took off the gas mask and took out a large piece of beehive, he estimated that he collected a few kilograms, this thing was fragrant, Su Ming cut off a small piece and put it in his mouth, and a taste called happiness was conveyed from the taste buds.
