Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Threat Gathering in the Jungle

On the trails higher and lower, there are still traces of fierce battles. Scattered hounds and lizard carcasses lay around the path, blood and weeds sticking together, forming clots of blood next to the corpses, staining the original green with a little red spot.

The ashes of the grass and wood scorched by the flames, the cone-shaped craters left behind by the melting of the ice picks, and the claw marks, along with the charred black from the explosion of craters and grenades, scattered irregularly on the ground around here.

Although these traces are completely mixed together, if you look closely, it is not difficult to see that the traces left by humans, both in number and density, far exceed those left by summoned beasts. The places where the fireballs and ice picks swept wildly were only due to the large scale of the damage, which gave the appearance of a visual effect that stood in line with the traces of man.

After Ye Yuxuan and the three of them saw the traces left at the scene, their first reaction was to violate the peace - judging from the fact that there were so many traces of battle left at the scene, the battle at that time should have been extremely fierce.

However, what did not match this scene was that the remains of the nearby summoned creatures could be described as pitiful, and how could this number alone make the four well-trained Longinus soldiers run out of ammunition and flee in embarrassment?

Ye Yuxuan leaned down and examined the body of the nearest hound - he was hit in the head by three bullets, but there was no visible external injury other than that, and his technique was clean and neat, and there was no waste.

In stark contrast to the corpse's condition was the crater on the ground nearby. The number of bullets that hit the ground or was fed air was more than a thousand times the number of bullets that hit the body of a minion.

How could those four team members be so bad at marksmanship? With this kind of accuracy, I am afraid that they will not even be able to escape, let alone mention that the number of summoned creatures that attack them is too large to count.

Just when Ye Yuxuan, who was lying on the ground and trying to analyze, and Su Mu, who was pretending to think on the side, were puzzled. Yui Uesugi, the most experienced, suddenly said something that sounded like a head and no end: "They died a miserable death." ”

Ye Yuxuan was stunned for a moment: "What? ”

"They died a miserable death, but they died without complaint." Yui repeated what she had just said, and explained, "Remember that no one except wizards and reformers is immune from psychic interference. ”

"Well, remember, what does that have to do with this?" Ye Yuxuan said confusedly.

Yui rolled her eyes: "Still can't figure it out?" As a psychic intervention that works in conjunction with the spatial barrier, in addition to influencing the perception of the intruder, it is also capable of creating illusions. This itself was part of the enchantment defense system, and they probably were fighting illusionary enemies more often than not. Even if his own quality is excellent, he is planted on a spiritual attack that he is completely unable to resist, and he can be regarded as dying without complaining. ”

Even though he knew that this was a virtual scene created by the program, Ye Yuxuan still decided to mourn for these four unlucky people for three seconds, and the misjudgment of his superiors made these four excellent soldiers die in vain.

However, why would the program generate such a task scenario? Even if it is randomly generated, there should be a moderation mechanism, right, what is the reason for the program to release this kind of task to the learner? Isn't this tantamount to reducing the students' trust in Longinus' management?

Due to the lack of information, Ye Yuxuan could not deduce the intention of the program to issue such a task. Maybe it's really just a coincidence? Ye Yuxuan didn't think about it anymore, the farther this kind of unfounded speculation goes, the more likely it is to completely deviate from the truth.

After some rectification, the three of them lined up again and set out on the only correct path.

As the three of them gradually moved deeper into the interior of the barrier, the surrounding environment gradually changed; The low shrub lawn is gradually replaced by tall trees, and rows of trees line the sides of the road, turning the humble path into a forest path.

Due to the obstruction of trees, the road surface here is not as muddy as outside, but the roadside is no longer suitable for rapid travel due to the obstruction of trees, so Ye Yuxuan simply decided to let the team's trajectory return to the road.

After entering here, the map and log attached to the mission have completely lost their use value - the copy is a 3D model of the three-dimensional map, and without the marked route path, it is just a beautiful ornament with blue light, Ye Yuxuan turned it off after entering this fork in the road.

Soon after the group of three entered the forest path, the first waves of wilderness began to brush around the areaβ€”and the three of them felt the faint sight from the forest on both sides.

Listen carefully, under the cover of the sound of rustling leaves, the rustling sound produced by some creatures passing through is faintly recognizable.

The sights were overtly hostile, but they were slow to attack. Since they didn't take the initiative to attack, Ye Yuxuan and the others didn't have the interest to take the initiative to go up and find trouble, after all, summoned creatures didn't need road guidance to be able to move freely, but as intruders, once they deviated from the route, there was a possibility of accidents.

The three of them confronted each other across the woods, keeping a delicate distance from each other. It seems that neither side intends to break out in advance until the time is right.

Even though it didn't seem like a conflict would break out immediately for a while, Ye Yuxuan didn't have any plans to be too leisurely, and ordered the team to speed up the pace of marching.

As the progress progressed, the surrounding vegetation became denser and the frequency of rustling sounds increased. They could feel that the sources of hostility around them were also increasing, and it seemed that summoned beasts from elsewhere had received the news and rushed to support their own kind, and if this trend continued, the number of enemies gathered would soon reach a very dangerous level.

"Leaves, why don't you take the initiative before they are fully gathered? It's really dangerous to wait any longer. Su Mu voiced his concerns in a spiritual connection.

Yui Uesugi, who has always been calm, is also in this channel, she did not immediately express her opinion, but her hands have already tightly grasped the desert eagle in her hand, waiting for Ye Yuxuan, who is now the captain, to make a decision.

Ye Yuxuan observed the surrounding situation, and after some contemplation, he said in the channel: "This amount is already beyond the scope of the ammunition we carry, even if we attack, there is no way to solve all of them, not to mention that their reinforcements are still coming." ”

Ye Yuxuan exchanged glances with the other two: "Prepare to break through, retreat while fighting, the mission target will definitely not stay in the wilderness, there will always be a way to get rid of these guys!"
