Seventeen - Date on a Lonely Island (Big Mistake)

"Actually, you really don't have to come with you, Sister Yukino. It's okay for me to have one of my own. ”

"No, even if it's sneaking in, there's no reason to let you take risks on your own, you don't have to care about me, Yuehua-kun."

It would be nice to be able to scout out while shielding out the breath and reflecting the light. However, the effective distance of the bracelet is too narrow, which is a very embarrassing problem. First of all, the radius is only fifty to seventy centimeters, even if an adult stands next to Ji Yuehua, it may be beyond the effective range.

The burly William Lewis could be ruled out directly, and the others looked suspenseful, and in the end, only Yukino Tachibana could follow.

As a result, because he couldn't think of other feasible options, and there was no way to perfectly hide this in both sight and smell, he only had to ignore the infiltration equipment of the sound, Kong Ciren had to grit his teeth and watch Ji Yuehua and Tachibana Yukino leave, that gloomy gaze made Ji Yuehua's heart still feel a chill until now, it was terrible.

The topography of the island is not too complicated from the outside.

The central mountain range is literally the highest place on the island. With the site as the center, it seems that endless woods stretch all the way to the end of the island in all four directions. Except for the cliffs to the east, the other three directions seem to end with low-lying beaches. Kong Ciren and other members of the army landed on the low-lying southern coast, although there was no barrier to speak of, but it was better to have an endless view of the surrounding area, if anyone wanted to raid them, to cross this area without any obstacles without being discovered by the members of the 13th Division, it was probably completely impossible.

It's just that in terms of terrain, there are no particularly tricky places or anything, and after actually trying to explore, you will find out that it is very wrong.

Ever since Ji Yuehua and the others stepped into the woods, the surrounding scenery has been repeated. There is not a single artificial road. It's not the point to just get into the grass once in a while, and more importantly, there's no clear way forward. Many times halfway through, the road ahead is inexplicably a ramp or rock wall, depending on the situation, and the choice is to continue walking forward or take a detour.

Since it was impossible to lock the location of the "Divine Crystal" out of thin air, the only thing Ji Yuehua could do. It is to take a small detector built under the "Mythical System" and walk around to see how serious the interference has become. If the detector is badly disturbed, then go all the way forward, on the contrary, after repeated confirmation, he resolutely turns back, of course, this detector is also one of the instruments that Bayi Yonglin threw into his warehouse after Ji Yuehua set off for the ship.

All along, the 13th Division of the Military Department has been on duty outside the country with great clarity. This kind of exploration in the primeval forest, which is almost lucky, can be said to be very unaccustomed to Tachibana Yukino.

Although she also tries to concentrate on remembering the road she has traveled and the scenery around her. But after walking forward for a while, about three or four turns, Tachibana Yukino immediately found that the memories in her mind had already been mixed up.

Fortunately, although Ji Yuehua's ability to remember the road is not as good as Yakumo's, it is quite good after all. Under the leadership of Ji Yuehua, it seems that there is no situation of getting lost for the time being. Along the way, the two chatted in low voices. Tachibana Yukino completely gave up the job of keeping the road and took on the role of a guard. Turning his attention to the scenery around the vigilance, the two of them walked as if they were walking, and they were quite happy.

It's a pity that as if God was destined for it, this time didn't last long.

"Yuehuajun, silence!"

The cause was a very light, very light insect flapping sound. It's so light that it's negligible, and if it weren't for the implantation of the "Mystera" stigma, it would probably be impossible for human hearing to hear.

After crossing a small hill, the terrain extends downwards again. In the middle of the ramp, Tachibana Yukino suddenly pressed her finger to Ji Yuehua's lips, and her other hand was placed on the hilt of the knife at her waist.

Seeing Tachibana Yukino make such a move. Even Ji Yuehua's perception ability is not as good as the former, and she also knows that there is likely to be an enemy in front of her.

Sure enough, in less than a minute, a "mutant antbeast" suspected to be the one Ji Yuehua had seen in the watchtower fortress last time came out of the grass at the end of the ramp, followed by three to four ordinary "antbeasts" that looked like little brothers.

Shouldering the task of prospecting for the home team, then, as a matter of course, encountering enemy patrol soldiers.

There is only one ramp, and it is very narrow, which is about the limit of accommodating an adult and a small child at the same time. Tachibana Yukino has just come of age this year, and she is also a girl, with a slender figure, as for Ji Yuehua, in addition to being a minor herself, her body size is still a small type, and she may even be thinner than girls of the same age in terms of appearance, and it is no problem for the two to walk side by side, but, plus an "ant beast" that is larger than an adult, it is another matter entirely.

(Do you want to fight?)

The bracelet does not have the function of blocking the sound, and the enemy is close in front of him, so it is naturally impossible to continue talking.

Although they are of the same military rank, and Tachibana Yukino is also older, the person holding the probe is Ji Yuehua after all. Tachibana Yukino conveyed this question to Ji Yuehua with her eyes, and the latter immediately fell silent.

There are only four "antbeasts", even if one of them is a "mutant", it is not a problem to clean up at the level of the two of them, the problem is after that.

Is it really okay for a scout-like scout to start an encounter with the enemy before discovering the target?

If these four "Calambulae" are killed here, it will be difficult to detect them in the future, and it will not take a day for the "Illamber Beasts" to be exposed to the "Calamity Beasts" in less than a day.

Considering that there is indeed a "Mythical Crystal" here, it is likely that this place is a stronghold of the "Calamity". Even if you try to annihilate all the "calamity" on the island, there is no guarantee that the enemy will not have a continuous stream of reinforcements, and this is not within the control of humans after all.

With nearly half of the current manpower, can it really cope with the intimatery of battles while protecting non-combatants?

For this, neither Ji Yuehua nor Tachibana Yukino has certain confidence.

Time is of the essence. Even if it's only for a few days, the more they can delay the revelation of the fact that "humans have come to this island", the better it will be for them.

(To be continued.) )

PS: P.S.1: Well, in a way, I played a small theater when I was back to a book review, and I thought it was fun. All in all, from the next chapter onwards, the author and I will probably add a small theater of characters like P.S. at the end of the (chapter) from time to time. Specifically, it's like the dialogue (vomiting) when the character talks about memories (this plot) years later, right? In just a few sentences, if there are not many objections after the actual measurement, then the author will continue to implement ~~

P.S.2: Thank you for the monthly pass of "Say Good Night" and "Unqi Qinggu", and thank you for the tips of "Gensoky Hometown" and "Endless End".
