8 Explorer's Handbook II

What the expedition saw was only the tip of the iceberg of the wasteland, and unless they could circumnavigate the wasteland like those elven towers, they would never grasp the vastness and ethereal nature of nature. www.biquge.info When you can fly over the snowy and silent peaks, through the majestic canyons, and bathe in the rippling streams, you will fall hopelessly in love here, and the beautiful sound of the breeze blowing in your mind will sound in your head.

"Wow. What are these!? Thunder exclaimed, looking at the white flying biota outside the string window.

"They are Tamu Towers, which means Flying Carpet in wolf language." Atfield put his hand on Thundering's shoulder, and he explained to Thunder kindly, like a father would do to his son.

In fact, he has regarded Lei Ming, who has a rough life, as his son, Lei Ming also feels an inexplicable warmth in his body, he doesn't know that it is father's love, this ethereal but straight to the heart of the feeling has been bothering him, but at this moment he has no heart to pay attention to the source of this feeling.

He turned his curious gaze to Atfield, "Can you wolf talk?" ”

"That's right, when I was younger, I was on a mission to recover a satellite that had accidentally crashed." Atfield continued in a sighing tone, "It was also at that time that we met Temu. He turned his gaze to Jin Yi and Yoland, "Now that he is the leader of the Iron Clan, our purpose this time is to visit him. The goddess of peace blesses us and hopes that he will assist us in our scientific expeditions. ”

"That was a long time ago," Yolande sighed, "but I said Captain, despite our lifelong friendship with Temu, I don't think it's likely that this guy will hand over the corpses of his clan to us." ”

"What a corpse, it's really ugly." Jin Yi lightly punched Yolande in the chest, and said, "It's called the body, you know." ”

"I'd like to get a copy of their bodies, too." Kirkman put down the medicine in his hand and said, "After all, I haven't really dissected a werewolf. ”

"Aren't werewolves and monkey people the same?" Kim also said.

"Monkey people?" Kirkman frowned slightly and said, "I think the title of Wise Ape is more appropriate, but if your remarks are heard by those humanities scholars, they will definitely come up with a whole bunch of theories to tell you the difference between humans and monkeys." ”

"But they will still think that animals are animals," Kim continued, "no matter how intelligent the wolf evolves, there is only one creature on this earth that can be called a human, and that is the monkey." Monkeys are always so arrogant, and they always start wars and kill each other. ”

"Speaking of fighting," Yolande continued after punching Jin Yi back: "Last time I asked you to throw a smoke bomb, you kid actually threw a flashbang at me. ”

"Then how can you blame me", Jin Yi said with an embarrassed expression, "At that time, the explosion was so loud, it was good that I could hear you speak." ”

"Hahaha. These two rivals are fighting again. Atfield watched them play with a smile on his face, and then turned his gaze to Thunder, who was looking intently at the scene outside the string window, "What are you looking at, little one?" ”

Thunder turned his head to Atfield, and he pointed to a ravine in the distance and said suspiciously, "What is that pile of white stuff, Tamu Tower?" ”

Atfield's gaze followed the thunderous guidance to the canyon, which was longer than his line of sight, at least two hundred meters high. The cloudy gorge walls are covered with lush vegetation, and in some places there are Tamu pagodas. He fixed his gaze on a loess clearing above the canyon, where there was a pile of white stuff, and behind the clearing was a dense jungle.

He scrutinized the pile of white things, and after making sure that he did feel the metallic texture in the pile, he shouted into the cockpit, "Garcia, at four o'clock, let's go there." ”

"What is it?" Bonita asked, and Jin Yi and Elena walked directly to the string window to watch.

"Oh my God! That's a human flying machine. Elena whispered with her left hand over her mouth.

Jin Yi's eyes stared at the pile of white wreckage in the jungle in the distance through the string window, and he said, "That's right, it's indeed a human flying machine, but it has crashed." ”

The Sky Whale turned around and came to the top of the loess glade at the edge of the canyon, the roar of its engines startling the creatures in the canyon, and a large number of frightened towers fled from the monsters that had broken into their home.

Garcia steered the Sky Whale in the air, only to see that its tail thrusters no longer spewed flames, and the nozzles in the bottom of the wings on both sides emitted a rapid air current, which was suspended in the air and brought up a large cloud of mist.

Through the window, the group saw the four slightly decomposed male corpses in the wreckage, and Atfield judged by the clothing of the corpses that they were members of the Archaeological Bureau of the Flare Empire. He was not surprised that the people of the Dazzling Empire came to the Boundless Ice Field, and a large number of scientific expeditions from the two countries would come to the Boundless Ice Sheet every year.

At the moment he only wanted to know what was going on here, and he said to Garcia, "Be careful, let's avoid the potential danger first." ”

"I know what to do." Garcia manipulated the 'Sky Whale' to throw a probe ball at the south, east, west, and northwest, and after the probe ball hit the ground, it emitted a net-like red light, with the 'Sky Whale' as the center, and the area within a radius of 300 meters was completely scanned (except for the underground).

The results of the scan were presented to Garcia in front of her in front of her in a three-dimensional hologram, and she carefully examined the potential danger, and after making sure that there were no large beasts, she said to Atfield, "Captain, no potential threat found, did you land?" ”

Atfield hesitated, thinking that the Iron Tribe was still some way away. Previously, he told Tiemu through the carrier pigeon that they would go to the Tie tribe in the afternoon, and if they were late, it would inevitably make Tiemu worry about whether they had an accident. If the Ironwood Sect went into the Wilderness Mountains to find them, his people would most likely be in danger.

It's not the center of the Endless Ice Field, and it's not so cold that even iron is as fragile as glass. But there is a terrifying name here, and that is the wasteland.

Wasteland - a place where wild beasts live

The entire wasteland is the size of one-fifth of North America, and it is home to a large number of ferocious creatures, such as mutated monitor lizards, golden pythons more than ten meters long, magic spiders that can grow up to three meters long, saber-toothed monkeys with huge fangs, and even hammerhead trees that like to smash nearby animals.

Atfield pondered and said, "Forget it, let's go." He folded his hands over his shoulders and began to pray, "May your souls rest in peace, and the light of the Goddess of Peace will guide you to the land of abundance." ”

Kim Yi, Yoland, Kirkman, Elena, and Bonita did the same thing as Atfield, saying the same thing reverently.

Lei Ming and Garcia put their clenched right fists against their hearts, and they closed their eyes and said sincerely, "Caton is with you." ”

The rest of the people did not have much objection to their actions, after all, the Declaration of the Rights of Citizens of the Peace State clearly stated that citizens have the right to freely choose their beliefs.

After praying, Garcia used the sonic traction beam to retrieve the probe ball, but just as she was about to manipulate the 'Sky Whale' away, an accident happened, seven thick vines like green snakes suddenly burst out of the dense jungle, and they wrapped around the 'Sky Whale' with lightning speed.

These vines are thicker than the mouth of a bowl! There are two wings that are wound around the right, and the remaining five are wound around the fuselage and extend towards the wings on either side.

"Oh my God, what the hell is this!" Elena shouted with wide eyes as she looked at the thick green vines outside the string window.

The fuselage shook violently, and the contents of the cabin kept falling to the ground. Garcia increased her power the moment the vines wrapped around the fuselage, and she tried to use the tail flame of the Sky Whale to burn the vines, but as if they had intelligence, they cleverly dodged the scorching tail flame and continued to spread rapidly throughout the outer walls of the fuselage, at this moment the machines and plants were in a tug-of-war, which happened two days ago, and the loser of that tug-of-war is now lying on the ground.

"Bastard, this is the Necrophile!!" Jin Yi shouted, he used the nylon strap to tie the submachine gun to his back and walked to the hatch, the violently shaking fuselage made him fall, "Damn! He quickly got to his feet. You leave first, and I'll find a way to meet you afterwards. He was ready to open the hatch and jump off the flying machine to shoot through those hateful vines.

"No, come back!" Atfield stopped Jin Yi, "Don't underestimate the Sky Whale too much. He leaned against the wall to make himself stand a little more steady, and said, "Garcia, let these natives taste our strength." ”

"Leave it to me, you stand firm." Garcia turned on the attack mode as she dropped the four probe balls again, and a lid was opened above each wing of the Sky Whale, and under each cover were sixteen miniature homing missiles. "It might be a bit bumpy," she said playfully, and then looked at the hologram of the Skywhale exterior with a serious face. "I can't find their source, so I can only attack vines a little farther away."

She locked onto the closest part of each vine to the jungle, and as seven roaring explosions rang out, a scorching wave of flames rose into the sky.

The broken vines lost the tug-of-war, and the 'Sky Whale' prepared to leave the jungle with a bunch of vines wrapped around it, and just as everyone was cheering, seven broken vines suddenly came back to life and wrapped around the right wing of the 'Sky Whale', at this time the long-standing 'Sky Whale' had already set off towards the far sky.

At the moment when the thruster erupted flames, the high-speed 'Sky Whale' was changed by the vines and smashed into the junction of the clearing and the jungle, although it did not become as miserable as the other aircraft, but the situation was not much better.

Its tail was completely detached and rolled into the jungle, the wing on the right had been broken in half, the wall on the right was dented, and the string window made of tempered glass was also densely cracked.

The air was filled with choking smoke, and seven vines broke away from their wings and slowly extended towards the large hole in the tail of the Sky Whale.

Thankfully, everyone did not die in the crash, some of them lay in the cabin with golden eyes, some fainted directly, and some were pressed down by scientific research equipment.

Lei Ming stood up with the pain, the ringing in his ears made him feel unusually uncomfortable, he saw Jin Yi waving his hand at him and shouting, but he couldn't hear what Jin Yi was shouting.

After swallowing his saliva, his tinnitus subsided a lot, and the first thing he heard when he regained his hearing was: "Thunder! Come on!! ”

Before he could react, a vine wrapped around his left ankle dragged him out of the Sky Whale and into the smoking jungle.

Jin Yi quickly got up and raised his submachine gun and fired at the other six vines that had entered the cabin, and the three vines in front of them were smashed into mud, and although they were not completely destroyed, they were no longer long enough to reach the people in the cabin.

But after only a dozen seconds, Jin Yi looked at the ground with a panicked face, his submachine gun had no bullets!! And the two pistols he attached to the outside of his thigh had only sixteen bullets combined, and he had to find a magazine to replace.

After running out of bullets from his pistol, he quickly crouched down and searched for the magazine. But the vine wouldn't give him a chance, and a vine reached out in front of him first, wrapping him tightly around his waist.

The vine tried to drag him out of the cabin, but he pulled out the bayonet pinned to his hip and cut the vine's sweet dream, and after cutting the vine wrapped around his waist, he brandished the bayonet and prepared to repeat the old trick, but one vine rudely took his bayonet, and he was rewound around his body by another vine.

While being dragged out of the cabin, he looked at the bayonet with a beautiful arc in the air with a crying face, and just when he thought he was dead, Yuland, who was crushed under the scientific research equipment, came to his senses, and he quickly threw his submachine gun at him after seeing Jin Yi's situation.

Jin Yi, who got the submachine gun, shouted frantically, "Die!" ”

He shot the vine wrapped around him, but by this time he had been dragged out of the cabin. The vines decided to divide the work, five of them caught Jin Yi's eye, and the other one sneaked into Jin Yi's leg like a ghost, dragging him to the ground the moment it wrapped around Jin Yi's leg, and Yoland watched as Jin Yi was dragged into the jungle.

"No!!" Yolande cried out in pain, but he could only watch powerlessly at what was happening in front of him.

In a short moment, two people were dragged away by the vines, and except for Yoland, the rest of them had not recovered from their vertigo.

Yolande thought it would be him, but the vines scurried back into the jungle. He couldn't tell what was going on from the smoke outside the cabin, but he could tell by the intermittent sound of bullets that Kim wasn't dead, desperately trying to break free of the scientific equipment that was pressing on him.
