"Bang!"

The heavy sound of sniper guns echoed through the dark forest.

High in the sky, a large colorful bird fell.

Not long after, eight members of the group returned with the carcasses of the birds and came to Yang Congxian.

"The vital signs are gone, the breed is unknown!"

Yang Congxian nodded, waved his hand, and ordered him to send the giant bird to the rear and hand it over to the researcher for processing.

It's been more than an hour since they stepped into the land.

Two brief battles broke out during this period.

Four practitioners were injured, but fortunately they were not serious.

"Team Leader Shi."

"Yes."

"Did the previous ore and plant samples go out?"

Shi Jin glanced at his mobile phone, and the further he went, the signal became worse and worse, and now there was only the last bar left, which was in danger.

"It's been delivered, but there are too many things that need to be sampled, we can only pick some of them, and we don't know if it's important, if only there were experts with us."

Shi Jin couldn't help but say.

During this hour, the group walked very slowly.

The danger here is not very great, only some powerful beasts that can control the aura attack like cultivators are more troublesome, but with Yang Congxian in charge, the problem is not big.

What really slowed them down was gathering supplies.

Unlike the ruins last time, this time the entire mountain forest is full of life, plants, soil, rocks, water, organisms, etc., they all need to collect samples and transport them back to the rear.

for specialized scholars to carry out research.

At the same time, it is also necessary to keep in touch with other departments in the country.

After all, there are more than a dozen "Mangyuan" in the country being explored at the same time.

It is necessary to make a judgment based on the news from all over the world.

In the internal network shared by the provincial trio divisions, the data is refreshed all the time.

In addition to the "Mangyuan", there are many temporary expert teams that are analyzing the recovered materials and guiding the exploration.

However, with the weakening of the network signal, not only the general electronic equipment, but also the military equipment and channels dedicated to Triss are also greatly affected.

The speed at which information is transmitted can barely support the transmission of pictures.

Coupled with factors such as scattered personnel distribution and complex administrative structure, the efficiency of the entire exploration is extremely low.

This is also one of the reasons why Shi Jin has such feelings.

Yang Congxian shook his head, stretched out his hand to dust off his clothes, and said: "Experts are limited, the first division and the second division will divide most of it, and the rest will be apportioned, and there will be only a few left." ”

"But in that case, we won't be able to get much further when it gets dark, and we don't know how long this projection will last."

Shi Jin's tone was a little eager.

According to the experience of "Ruins", this projection may disappear soon, so he is not in a hurry.

Why didn't Yang Congxian know this truth in his heart?

He stopped to look into the distance, and the tall and primitive trees in front of him were like a mysterious palace supported together, and as the sky turned into the evening, it was gilded with golden clothes, and the atmosphere of dust and desolation came to his face.

After another hour or two, it will be night.

When the time comes, in the face of those unique xenomorphic beasts in the forest, even a three-grade master like Yang Congxian must be cautious.

Not to mention those first-grade and second-grade monks behind him?

"Rest assured, the headquarters should also take this issue into account, but it really can't be...... When it gets dark, we push violently.

You now tell you to go down, contact the Ningcheng government, and call some excavation machinery and trucks over, it's really not good, work in the dark, dig him up first! ”

After hesitating, Yang Congxian's tone was a little ruthless.

"Yes!"

Shi Jin nodded awe-inspiring and was about to leave.

Just then, a small lapel came running with a tablet in his hand.

Excited.

"Director! Leader! Look at the picture just sent by the Jingli headquarters! After satellite capture, traces of human habitation were found somewhere in the mountains! ”

Yang Congxian and Shi Jin breathed tightly, glanced at each other, and hurriedly took it.

After looking at the tablet for a while, he raised his head and counted the lower bits.

Yang Congxian took a breath and decisively ordered:

"Everyone! Stop exploring, follow me and act quickly, the goal ...... Direction East! Advance! ”

……

……

"Whew."

Somewhere in a primeval forest.

Cheng Lin stopped some heavy steps.

Nearly half an hour had passed since they were separated from Zhao Ye.

Together with Sun Xiao, he continued to move towards the valley.

Maybe it's the luck that gets better after separating from those people.

Along the way, I saw two plants that emitted a mysterious light, but each of them had a fierce beast hovering beside it.

Cheng Lin and Sun Xiao weighed the strength of the next two sides, and could only regret leaving.

By now, it has been nearly two hours into the mountain.

There was no road in the mountains, it was difficult to walk, and his nerves were always tense, even Cheng Lin felt tired.

Sun Xiao was already sweating profusely and began to panth.

Fortunately, the goal is already in sight.

Not far in front of the two of them was the lake beyond the valley.

"Let's go to the front one and rest."

Cheng Lin suppressed his excitement and pretended to be calm.

Sun Xiao wiped his sweat and nodded.

"Be extra careful, I feel like there might be danger around here."

Cheng Lin reminded.

He also remembers that there were often wild animals gathering near the lake.

"yes, I know."

Sun Xiao nodded, and the two carefully groped forward.

But to Cheng Lin's surprise, the surroundings were very peaceful.

"Maybe it's because in the evening the temperature drops, so no wild beasts come to drink?"

Thinking in his heart, Cheng Lin's hand holding the folded property also loosened a little.

Sun Xiao was very surprised:

"There's a lake here? Is there a river passing by here? ”

"yes, but let's not get too close, in case there's a crocodile or something in the lake."

"Okay," Sun Xiao nodded, then thought about it, but suddenly smiled and said, "I'm actually quite curious, you said that there is a river in this valley, so after the whole valley is projected and materialized, will the water in the river still flow?" ”

"If it flows, does it have to flow beyond the scope of the plain?"

Cheng Lin glanced at him and smiled, he didn't expect Sun Xiao to have the leisure to think about these at this time.

"We'll find out when we get out."

"Are you going out...... Well, when did you say this projection would disappear? Sun Xiao said suddenly.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, by the way, did you bring a flashlight, it's evening, and it will be dark soon."

"Brought it."

"Okay, let's go."

As they spoke, they carefully skirted the lake and walked toward the valley.

The valley is still tranquil, with the cliffs on either side towering and full of the feeling of a knife and axe.

Sun Xiao came to the outside of the valley, looked up and squinted, and found that an orange-red sunset was hanging right at the tip of a cliff on one side.

The twilight sun poured down, and there was no crown to cover it.

The sky was bright for a moment.

"Cheng Lin, the cliffs on both sides are so steep, as if they were split by a giant sword."

Sun Xiao bathed in the sunshine and suddenly sighed.

Cheng Lin looked sideways slightly.

He didn't expect that Sun Xiao would feel this way, and when he first came here, he also felt this way.

After a few glances, the two walked on.

The wind in the valley was obviously lighter and more quiet, and walking in it, Cheng Lin and Sun Xiao's tense nerves couldn't help but relax.

"Let's get some rest, I feel safe in this place."

Cheng Lin suppressed the excitement in his heart and said.

"Okay."

The two chose a gentle slope, sat on the ground, threw down their backpacks, and took out a few sips of mineral water.

Cheng Lin pretended to look around, but he was actually determining the location where he was hiding Zhu Guo.

Sun Xiao was completely relaxed.

He was obviously tired, and he only felt that his legs were sore.

When the warm wind blew, he squinted his eyes and said, "Cheng Lin? ”

"Huh? What's up? ”

"The ruins last time they only existed for one night and then disappeared, do you think this will be the case?"

"I don't know."

"Wait until it gets dark, I've heard that after dark the beasts will be active, but we're going to be restricted."

Cheng Lin retracted his gaze, looked at him, and blinked: "What do you want to say?" ”

Sun Xiao chuckled, pursed his lips, suddenly sighed, and said, "We have walked so far and still haven't found anything, maybe this time we really have to come for nothing." ”

"There's still more time."

"But I can't see things clearly at night."

Perhaps it was the tranquility of the valley that relieved his nerves, and on Sun Xiao's face, there was suddenly an emotion called disappointment spreading.

Emotions were like water, soaking through his every pore.

Cheng Lin's originally excited mood suddenly became less excited.

The two were silent for a moment.

Cheng Lin suddenly asked with some curiosity, "Do you really want to awaken so much?" Why? Is it really that appealing to you to being a practitioner? ”

Sun Xiao really wanted to practice very much.

The whole class knew about it.

It was Sun Xiao who forwarded all kinds of information about cultivation in the group.

It was Sun Xiao who went around asking about the gossip of cultivation.

Now it is Sun Xiao who is the first to organize the team to enter the mountain.

Cheng Lin sometimes felt that in the matter of cultivation, Sun Xiao seemed to be much more persistent than him.

"What about you? So why are you? Sun Xiao asked rhetorically.

Cheng Lin hesitated, looked at the sunset, and the scene of the big fireball coming in front of him appeared again.

"Safe, I'm actually a very insecure person, and that word doesn't seem to be accurate, anyway...... It's that you have lived for more than ten years, and suddenly one day you find that the whole world has become less secure, and there may be many bad variables in the second half of your life, so you ...... I just want to hold something in my hand. ”

Cheng Lin said such a long sentence rarely, paused, and nodded, "That's probably it." ”

Sun Xiao smiled, revealing his white teeth.

"I didn't understand much, my words, and the reason is very simple, because my sister wants me to become a cultivator."

"You still have a sister?" Cheng Lin was amazed.

"Can't you?"

"It's not...... It's just a bit of a surprise. ”

Cheng Lin smacked his lips.

Isn't there such a thing as a sister that the protagonist should have?

He has the ability to deduce civilization, and he doesn't have a sister yet, but Sun Xiao has a ......

It's so angry.

Cheng Lin blinked, "Tell me specifically?" ”

Sun Xiao scratched his head and said with a smile: "Actually, there is nothing to say, you know, I like to watch federal blockbusters, in fact, not only I like it, but my sister also likes it, sometimes when I am tired of studying, I watch it with her."

Looking at it, I talked about heroes, saving the world, superpowers, and so on.

I asked her, do you want to become Superman?

She said she didn't want to, she said she wanted me to be Superman.

It's just that there's a superhuman brother who is very handsome, and no one else has it, and if someone dares to bully her, she will report my name and so on. “

Cheng Lin listened curiously: "And then? ”

And then ...... It's the revival of the aura.,My sister has a classmate's brother who has awakened.,It's said that when she entered the relevant department.,She's very lost.,Talking to me all day long.,And then ...... I felt that it was necessary to be a cultivator, and it would help me maintain my brother's majesty. ”

Cheng Lin was stunned: "And then?" ”

"No more, and then I'll sit here with you."

"It's as simple as that?"

"How complicated is it?" Sun Xiao looked at him with a serious expression.

“……”

The two looked at each other for a while, and Cheng Lin finally retreated.

and once again recognized the fact that he was the second in the heart of the squad leader.

The reason for this......

It's sloppy enough.

Patting his buttocks and glancing at the obviously drooping sun, Cheng Lin stood up.

"Let's go? I haven't rested enough. Sun Xiao wailed.

Cheng Lin waved his hand without looking back, and said, "I'm not leaving, I'm just going to find a place to go conveniently, I've been holding it for a long time, don't look at it!" ”

Sun Xiao scolded with a smile: "I see what you're doing, I'm not a pervert." ”

Cheng Lin walked fast, and disappeared around a corner in a short time.

Then walked another few hundred meters.

Come to a crack in the mountain.

Cheng Lin's hand reached into the gap.

After a pause, he grabbed out a small tree.

On the branches, there are two red fruits, one large and one small, heavy.
