Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Night Song Forest

If you think about it, you can see that individual rewards make sense, after all, standing out in the heat of competition is more valuable than team strength unless you have superior strength.

The Mercenary Association had a plan for a long time, in order to eliminate cheating and prevent the team advantage from being a one, so they chose to temporarily release the task, which caught the participating mercenary groups off guard, and when they woke up, it was too late.

For example, the first-ranked Anson team currently has a merit value of around 370,000, although it is far ahead of other mercenary groups, it is because the members of the team are very strong. They all do team tasks, basically, the team merit value divided by the number of people, that is, the merit value of each member, the situation of other teams is similar, only Chen Fang is an exception, the team merit value is almost all won by him, and almost all of it belongs to him personally.

The Mercenary Association has not yet announced the ranking of personal merit points, but Linnie knows very well that the first place is Chen Fang, and his merit value must far surpass others.

Even if Anson starts cheating from this moment and puts all the merit points obtained by the team under the name of one person, it will be difficult to make a difference in the remaining less than six days, not to mention that from a technical point of view, it is completely unrealistic and will inevitably drag down the efficiency of the team, and it is impossible for the members of the mercenary group to be selfless enough to give away their precious merit points.

Linny was straightforward about the truth, mainly explaining the reason for leaving, and with less than six days left after the race, there was no reason to give up on the final sprint.

It became clear that the team was far from the first place, and it was very difficult to catch up, unless it was a difficult task, which would require a huge risk, but anyone who was not an idiot knew that there was no need.

In this competition, the first three mercenary groups have collective promotion rewards, and the difference is only in merit value and bonus, which does not matter. In other words, as long as the ranking is squeezed into the top three, the difference is not big. What's more, the individual rewards far exceed the team rewards, as long as you spend six days in peace, Chen Fang can get a dazzling special mission reward, and it is not worth the risk.

Weighing the benefits, Thunderbolt Bee took the lead and said: "There are still six days left, we might as well do some simple hunting tasks, hold on to the second, and it doesn't matter if we slide to the third, anyway, there are rewards for promotion." What do you think? ”

"Let's see." Two voices spoke at the same time, one cold, the other silent, but both were the same unquestionable.

Thunderbolt looked at the men and women who spoke in unison in surprise, wisely silent, the mercenary group does not believe in democracy, only orders and obedience, besides, even if he votes democratically, he is still a minority and obeys the majority.

Six days to catch up with the first-ranked Anson, there are not many options, Chen Fang called out the follow-up of the reconnaissance mission, passed it to the goggles of the two companions, and reconnoitred the Yesong Forest, the merit value is nine thousand, which does not look very tempting.

However, there are sixteen mercenary groups missing in the Night Song Forest, with probability analysis, the probability of the existence of wormholes is seventy-six, and the subsequent follow-up tasks are likely to earn more than 100,000 merit points, if you are lucky, the merit value can surpass the Anson team, but this is only theoretical, in the last six days, the Anson team will not be idle, they will also have to sprint.

Night Song Forest, sounds full of poetic name, according to the introduction of the task list, due to the dense forest, the woodland can not seep into a little light, stepping into the forest, it will step into the eternal night, in the dark, from time to time there will be an elegant melody, like the beauty of strings, such as the song and crying of the grievance, if you want to go north on a large scale, it is bound to clean up this area.

At the mention of the Nightsong Forest, a strange look flashed in Linny's eyes, but it was fleeting.

Before leaving, there was a small episode, and the best way to enter the danger zone again was to hide in the inner cabin of the fish-man, but it was impossible, the other side of the driver's seat seemed to be a forbidden area, and the remaining space could not fit two people, even if it could be accommodated, no one wanted to suffer that way.

In terms of physique and technique, Chen Fang should have piloted the mecha, but he refused and took the initiative to ask for a trek on foot. Although the toxins were removed, he still couldn't use the physical strengthening, and could only recover through exercise, and he was anxious and unwilling to miss any opportunities. In the end, the mech was still piloted by Linny, and Thunderbee accompanied him on his walk.

As a result, although the number of team members increased, the efficiency decreased, which was frustrating, and it was frustrating to reach the edge of the Nightsong Forest, less than three days before the end of the competition.

Approaching the forest, a cold breath invaded his body, and the weak Chen Fang couldn't help but shiver a few times in a row, and a trace of uneasiness quietly rose.

"Wait." Chen Fang sends a warning to his teammates through the liaison.

"Discovery?" Linnie tried to use electron focus to spy inside the forest, but unfortunately failed, and the lush vegetation blocked not only the light but also the view.

"Something isn't right." Chen Fang muttered to himself.

"What's wrong?" Linnie used long-range sniping to clean up the nearby Zerg first, but she didn't see anything weird.

Chen Fang explained: "Don't you feel it, the plants here are very strange, what can you see in the digital mode? ”

"I can only see that there are lifeforms in the Nightsong Forest, the individuals are medium, but the number is very large, and the rest can't see anything, why don't you try it?"

"It's fine." After all, data mode is not an area that Linni is good at, and Chen Fang quickly returned to the inner cabin of the mecha.

"What's the difference?" Time passed, and Linnie stepped out of the driver's seat and stood in the back.

"The growth of trees is affected by the surrounding environment, generally speaking, the biggest influence is the wind, and the trees we usually see are either growing straight or falling in one direction, but you look at the trees in the Night Song Forest." The spectacle sends back a peculiar spectacle, where the trees are completely irregular, and they are turned in any direction, some even bent to an incredible degree, unless there is an irregular external force, which can cause this spectacle.

The beautiful face couldn't help but raise a wisp of pink, if you recklessly break into the Night Song Forest, the consequences will be unimaginable. The human eye is so strange, sometimes she can see small differences, but she is blind to the whole confusion, and she was still carefully observing the tree before Chen let out a sound to stop it.

Chen Fang quickly switched the screen of the display, and after adjusting it to the rainbow mode, he suddenly threw out a flashbang, and the dark night sky was instantly dyed silver.

Among the verdant trees, there are countless filaments that cannot be distinguished by human eyes, and at this moment, there is nothing to hide under the silver light of the flashbang, flashing with a hideous edge.

These filaments are most likely spider silk, and the life forms that appear in the spectacle are probably swarms of spiders, and the mysterious strings of the Nightsong Forest are most likely the sound of the prey struggling when it encounters the spider silk, which is the music of death.

The dense spider silk formed the early warning system of the Nightsong Forest, which was impossible for the six-meter-tall mech to dodge, and these spider silks could easily bend a four-foot-thick giant tree, which was incredibly strong. With its strong power, the mecha can easily break through the confines of steel, but it is helpless to be bound by flexibility. It is conceivable that the fish-man is entangled with dozens of spider silks, just like a fish caught in a net, and only has to wait to be killed.

"Give it up." Chen Fang closes the mech's exterior scope.

"Give up?" Linni was silent for a moment, in the days they got along, she asked to give up more than once, Chen Fang had never heard of it, and repeatedly confirmed through her actions that as long as she didn't give up, miracles could happen.

A never-say-die, brave heart, supporting a fragile physique, that feeling is fascinating and distressing, just as she gradually adapted to this point of view and began to appreciate a man six years younger than herself, Chen Fang actually destroyed the Great Wall by himself, and took the initiative to retreat.

"Do you have a better way?" Chen Fang didn't know what she was thinking.

"No, I'm just not used to it, I thought a brave person like you didn't know what it meant to give up." Linnie had a rare sense of humor.

"It takes more courage to give up than to do it, let's leave as soon as possible, there are three days left, or we can find your friends." Maybe it's because the two are getting acquainted, or maybe it's because they got rid of the troubles of illness, unconsciously, the past Chen Fang quietly recovered, and between the conversations, my style of doing my own thing was undoubtedly revealed.

The subtle changes set off waves in Linny's heart, if he only admired Chen Fang's ability and strength before, now it is more than the same: "It sounds very philosophical, but it is limited to brave people, only brave people, when they give up, they need courage." I suspect that this sentence was told to you by someone very close to you, and that person must have taken great pains to teach you this truth. ”

The casual chatter touched the deep memories, these words were told to Chen Fang by his grandfather, who was the Secretary of State of the Empire, as Linny said, in order to teach him this truth, his grandfather spent a lot of thought, so that brave people learn to give up, it is far more difficult than letting cowardly people learn to be fearless, grandpa did not succeed after all, Chen Fang understood this truth in countless setbacks, but he gave up only one task, he couldn't find what he wanted in the Night Song Forest, giving up means a new opportunity, as for finding the fire ox, everyone knows that there is little hope, just like looking for supplies, it's all a matter of luck, as long as you stay in Hall, you're looking for it, so Linnie never mentioned it from beginning to end.

"You don't seem to want to go?" Chen Fang found that Linni had no intention of leaving.

Linnie hesitated for a moment and said, "If you give up this mission to help me find my teammates, I still want to explore the Nightsong Forest. I don't understand the probabilities you say, but I have a feeling that my teammates are in the forest. I know that the mission of the Night Song Forest is not worth doing, and staying will mean giving up the opportunity to hit the first, but I can't abandon my teammates, this is my personal business, if you don't want to, I will never force it. ”

Chen Fang turned his head, thought for a while and said, "Your intuition is not only available today, is it?" ”

Happy holidays to all
