In the southwest direction, Chen Xiaoshu was in charge of being the pioneer of the Dao, and in the past few months since he joined the Shili Town base, with the support of cultivation resources such as red pith brewing and blood crystals provided by Sun Heng, his strength had reached the late stage of the second level.

After returning to the ground, the cultivation resources provided by Sun Heng to the reconnaissance battalion were more abundant, and the strength of the soldiers naturally improved faster, Chen Xiaoshu estimated that in less than a month, he should be able to become a third-level warrior.

Hearing Sun Heng's loud shout, Chen Xiaoshu chopped the surrounding branches and paused slightly, and immediately retreated backwards.

Sun Heng had instructed in advance that if there was danger, he would give a reminder that the pioneers who opened the way must not hesitate and must retreat as soon as possible.

Of course, you must not turn your head and run, that is tantamount to handing over your back to the enemy, which is bound to become more dangerous, so Chen Xiaoshu is backwards and retreats. This may be slower, but you can see where the danger is and make the right response. Although Chen Xiaoshu did not practice much of these combat skills learned in the reconnaissance battalion, he kept them all in mind.

Chen Xiaoshu retreated only seven or eight steps, and a dark shadow jumped up from the dense jungle, rushing over with a fishy smell.

Seeing the speed of this dark shadow, Chen Xiaoshu's heart sank, knowing that he would definitely not be able to run, let alone his opponent.

In the midst of the crisis, he fell directly to the side!

Bang!

The jet-black shadow's head slammed into the ground with a muffled thud that sent the branches and leaves flying in all directions. And its movements also made the people around him see clearly what it was - it was a demonized python covered in black scale armor and blood-red eyes!

Although the demon python is not as easily frightened as normal snakes because of its demonization, and has become bloodthirsty and irritable, its sensitivity has not been affected, and its strength is greater than that of mutant snakes or even evolved snakes.

One of his blows missed, and he immediately opened his bloody mouth according to the taste of the living, turned his head and bit Chen Xiaoshu, who was only two or three steps away!

Chen Xiaoshu is on the ground, surrounded by dense bushes, and there is nowhere to hide in anxiety - if he jumps up to dodge, I'm afraid that as soon as he gets up, he will let this magic python swallow it!

Am I going to die here today?

Seeing that the bloody mouth was getting closer and closer to him, Chen Xiaoshu suddenly felt a great fear in his heart.

However, just when the bloody mouth was only a few centimeters away from Chen Xiaoshu, he was suddenly hit hard and deflected to the other side!

Chen Xiaoshu, who was wide-eyed, could see clearly that the saliva in the demon python was splashed out by this heavy blow, and it fell on the surrounding branches and leaves with a slight sizzling sound, but it had a corrosive effect.

Immediately after, Chen Xiaoshu saw a figure pass over him, chasing after the head of the demon python that was knocked away-who else could it be if it wasn't Sun Heng?

Escaping from death, frightened, Chen Xiaoshu immediately turned over and retreated.

This demon python looks at at least the middle and late stage of the third level, even if Sun Heng has to deal with it, it is not a late stage of the second level that he can participate in, and if he is accidentally swept by the tail of the demon python, I am afraid that he will die.

When Chen Xiaoshu retreated to the other reconnaissance battalion soldiers behind him, and then looked into the jungle in front of him, he found that leaves and broken branches were flying all over the sky, while Sun Heng was already walking back.

What's going on?

Chen Xiaoshu was puzzled.

But I heard my uncle next to him Wang Changchang say: "That demon python should have been solved by Camp Commander Sun, but the nerve reflex in the body continued after the snake died, so it was still tossing there." ”

Sure enough, Sun Heng came over and said, "When this demon python is dead, go to a few people to get the corpse outside the demon domain to deal with it." ”

"Yes!" Someone immediately answered.

The next step is to continue the reclamation.

The soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion who were responsible for clearing the monsters in front not only wore animal skin clothes with considerable protective ability, but also sprayed herbal juice that could repel most snakes and insects on their bodies one by one, so apart from some special snake and insect monsters, there were not many things in the jungle on the periphery of this demon domain that could pose a threat to them.

As for the demon python whose strength had reached the late stage of the third level just now, it could only be regarded as an accident.

The area of one mile wide and five miles long was not large, and on the morning of the third day, the wasteland clearing team finally pushed to the junction between this peninsula-shaped area and the vast demon domain behind, and then stopped continuing to advance according to the plan.

"Go find this mutated poplar, cut it down from the bottom, take care to leave some of the root system, and transplant it to this line. These mutated poplar trees are thick and straight, and the canopy is very high, basically more than 10 meters, and we can form a natural protective wall by transplanting a few more rows here. Luo Yukun followed Sun Heng and pointed to the line where the clearing stopped.

Sun Heng nodded when he heard this and said, "The idea is good, the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion will cooperate with you." ”

In fact, in his previous life, Sun Heng had seen transplanting or directly planting trees in the Demon Domain to form a protective wall, and after it became large, the protective capacity was not inferior to the base wall built by humans. And they generally choose mutated poplars, birches, etc. - this kind of trees have thick and straight trunks, but the canopy is very high, so it is not easy for those monsters to attack humans through the canopy.

Luo Yukun stepped on the grass that had just emerged on the new soil under his feet, and sighed: "The aura in this demon domain is too strong, this land was only turned over yesterday, and weeds have grown up today, if you want to plant here, I'm afraid weeds and the like are the biggest difficulties." ”

Sun Heng said: "It's up to you to find a way to solve it." ”

Luo Yukun said: "In the afternoon, I plan to ask the big guy to turn over the ground again and burn it with fire, and strive to get rid of the roots of various plants in the ground." As for the research of effective weed control methods, we can only rely on manual weeding. ”

Sun Heng didn't make an evaluation, and he didn't want to care what Luo Yukun did, he just needed to look at the results.

After the first Demon Domain test field was cleared, Sun Heng did not go over, but asked Sun Yifeng to lead a team of soldiers from the reconnaissance battalion to accompany Luo Yukun and the others to work during the day. As for the evening, everyone had to come back to the base, and no one dared to stay outside.

Putting down the matter of clearing the wasteland, Sun Heng went to Yiyang City and "borrowed" people from Han Chaoyang.

Although Han Chaoyang was very enthusiastic about Sun Heng on the surface, saying that he was sending his subordinates to cooperate with Sun Heng and wanted to "borrow", but in the end, Sun Heng's harvest was not good. There are no talents in power transformation, but there are a few technical talents like Lin Xiaoyu, and there are also a few talents in planting.

But these people are not something he can take away if he wants to, and he must agree to go with him. Therefore, in the end, Sun Heng brought back only four people to the base of Shili Town.

After that, Sun Heng wondered if he should go to Jiangcheng, the capital of Hubei Province. There is a large population there, even if a lot of people have died in the last few months, but there are also a lot of left, even if some are included in the various survivor bases, there must be some who are outcast, and I believe it will not be too difficult to recruit.
