Chapter 886: Getting Stronger
"Roger!" A voice came from the communicator. Immediately, the point of light representing the 7th Brigade and the 4th Squadron slowly moved to the center. The role of the Blood River was more to prevent the appearance of the Condensing True Realm Demon Beasts, so he couldn't let the troops get too far away from him. Generally, the speed of the Condensation Realm could reach nearly a kilometer per second, and his speed was several times faster. Even in the forest, as long as the team stays within a 50-kilometer radius centered on him, he can reach it in a short time.
As the entire battle line was slowly pressing forward, the number of Wood Source Beasts encountered by each squadron began to increase, and the overall speed of course began to slow down. As night approached, Li Qing's squadron was approaching the position of the commander of the Central Guard. At this time, almost everyone in the group was injured, and everyone was supporting them to move forward. Squadron Leader Mu Feng also lost his smile, the previous demon beast attack caused too many injuries to the team, and if he continued to fight, the casualty rate would be greatly increased. I had to rush to the commander of the guard.
Their team experienced two more battles after the Crab Demon Beast, the first time fortunately, only a few people were injured, and they harvested 16 Mu Yuan Crystals. However, the second time it was attacked by a golden worm ambushed in the sandy ground, this insect monster is not large, only the thickness of the arm, two or three meters long, and the whole body is yellow. However, it can stick a small sharp spike out of its mouth to attack its prey, and its strength is mostly medium in the late stage.
Under the attack of this spike, the two-star combat uniform was as if it was not worn, and it could not play the slightest role in resisting. Moreover, this spike is also highly toxic, as long as it is stabbed, a large amount of cell-destroying toxin is injected. This led to a large number of injuries, and one explorer assigned to Li Qing was unlucky enough to be stabbed in the head and died on the spot! This is also the first time that the team has died, which has lowered the morale of the original passion.
"Are your injuries alright?" Suo Di asked Li Qing.
"It doesn't make much of a difference." Li Qing moved his right foot and said. The previous battle also stabbed him in the right foot, but he was injected with an intermediate antidote in time, and after using the vitality disc to heal the wound, there was no major problem.
"This golden worm is terrible!" A sergeant guard couldn't help but be afraid.
"That's right! It's obviously not a wood source beast, but it can also dodge the life detector! ”
……
The characteristics of many species on this second source star are different from what humans have known in the past, and if you blindly believe in scientific and technological means, you will often suffer a big loss. The team walked a short time before they ran into another squadron.
"I'll go! What happened to Mu Feng? So bad? The squadron leader of that team asked in a slightly surprised way.
"Encountering a ...... of a golden nematode"
……
After a brief exchange, the two teams converged together towards the center. There was also an order before the Blood River that everyone was to converge before dark and return to the camp. I also encountered several squadrons along the way, but not all of them were safe and sound, because they encountered monster species that they had never seen before, and there were many losses.
In a rocky wilderness with a wide view, sparsely wooded and a rushing river not far ahead. At this time, the converging teams all stopped here and waited for the others, while Blood River stood in the center of the crowd, and the squadron leaders went to report to him on the situation.
Listening to the sound of the endless river, Li Qing sat on a rock casually to rest. "This bloody forest is indeed dangerous, if it is not for the squadron operation, it is difficult for a single squad to survive." Li Qing thought in his heart. In the guard, the security is much higher than that of the explorer, and when encountering the demon beasts of the Condensation Realm, there is also the guard leader who can rush to the rescue.
After waiting for about half an hour, when the last squadron also arrived to report on the battle. Xuehe stood up and said loudly with a displeased face: "At such a short distance, you actually killed 13 people!" It's useless! Get back! With that, the River of Blood took the lead and walked back.
Since they had been cleaned up along the way, and it was the Blood River that led the team, it only took an hour for everyone to arrive at the camp.
"Whew~ I have to have a good rest tonight!"
"Haha, our team has gained a lot today!"
……
As soon as they returned to the camp, everyone was relaxed physically and mentally, although 13 people died today, it was common for people to die on the front line in the guard, and every sergeant guard was mentally prepared. Except for the fact that the deceased will be sad for a long time, everyone else is very open.
"If nothing else, today's guard merit and contribution points will be issued soon, and if there is anything to redeem at that time, hurry up." Suo Di reminded the two of them.
"Distributed today?"
Li Qing was happy in his heart, didn't that mean that he could exchange for energy potions today? Immediately, Li Qing returned to the wooden shed and entered the guard net, and waited while flipping through the flowing water.
Really! Only half an hour after coming back, Li Qing received a reminder that the guard merit and contribution points he had obtained had arrived! Then quickly open it and take a look:
"Name: Li Qing
Rank of Guard: Sergeant Guard
Guard: None
Guard Skill: 26
Contribution points: 1430
……
"Haha!" Li Qing laughed. Finally, he has a guard skill, and he can get 26 guard skills in a day, which is very rare according to his previous understanding. And more than 1,000 contribution points may not seem like much, but the focus is on safety. If you continue like this, you will be able to upgrade the guard rank to 'Star Warrior' in more than a month, and there will be more than 50,000 contribution points at that time! But only if there are so many Wood Source Beasts to kill them!
If you have money, of course, you have to spend it, and immediately come to the exchange list. The Intermediate Energy Potion requires the Star Warrior Guard rank, so it can only be exchanged for the Beginner one.
"Are you sure you want to redeem - Primary Energy Potion x2"
"Sure!"
……
Hunting the Wood Source Beast is going back to the camp every day, so you don't have to bring too much energy potion with you, just use one today and keep one for backup. Exiting the guard net, Li Qing ran directly to the warehouse. There were quite a few people who came to the warehouse to pick up things today, and after queuing for more than ten minutes, Li Qing received two primary energy potions, which were two palm-long, two-finger-thick transparent material test tubes, which were filled with milky white liquid, like milk.
The color of this energy agent varies depending on the raw materials used. Like the last time I saw those mecha masters in Poison Mountain, they were taking green energy potions.
Back at the wooden shed, Suo Di and Fang Yi were closing their eyes and refining energy. Li Qing also found a place to sit down lightly and put away an energy potion. Then unscrew the lid of the one in your hand.
"Gollum~"
Carefully swallow all the energy potions. As soon as the energy liquid enters the mouth, it feels a slightly sweet taste. Then a comfortable and warm energy slowly filled up, and Li Qing hurriedly closed his eyes and ran the exercises to refine the energy. As the energy operates, the seeds, which have been dormant for a while, begin to devour the energy. However, after taking the energy potion today, Li Qing is not worried about not having enough energy.
As the practice gradually strengthens the body, the speed of the exercises gradually increases. After about an hour, Li Qing finished refining the energy in his body.
