Chapter 1763: Offshore Valley
When the team stopped, in front of this team was a green lake. The tracking experts found traces of the lizard entering the water on the shore of the lake, and a woman in the team, with short hair and a flamboyant personality, stroked her forehead and said, "No, do we still have to dive?" ”
"It seems so." The black captain shouted: "Take everything off, take off your combat suit, and put it in a waterproof bag." Adjust your tractors so they don't strike in the water. ”
As he spoke, Ruijin had already unloaded his equipment and taken off his combat uniform, including a multi-functional tactical helmet on top of his head. These things are all stuffed into the waterproof bag, and his cannon itself is waterproof, but he is not afraid of being exposed to water. After doing all this, he adjusted the traction device on his waist, and then the waterproof bag floated up, levitating beside Ruijin within the scope of the traction field.
The two female team members took off their tactical uniforms, revealing their bumpy figures, causing the male team members next to them to whistle. Ruijin rolled his eyes and said, "Gentlemen, we're not here for an outing, let's be quick." ”
After a few minutes, everyone was ready. Ruijin took out an oxygen mask and put it on his mouth, and then a fish jumped into the lake. The rest of the team followed suit, and a moment later, all of them dived into the lake. There are many green duckweed floating on the surface of the lake, and the lake water is crystal clear. Sunlight shines in from the surface of the lake, creating columns of light under the lake. Ruijin gestured to indicate the lake. It's deep, and everyone should be careful. Pointing to the tracking expert again, Debang nodded, swimming to the front.
Diving is very boring, especially as they keep diving towards the bottom of the lake, and when the sun doesn't shine here, the lake is dark. From time to time, some underwater creatures swim by, all of which are species that the team has never seen before, and they have different appearances. Luckily, they weren't aggressive, otherwise they would have affected the people in the lake. Soon we reached the bottom of the lake, which was covered with a layer of soft sand and scattered with boulders, almost like a labyrinth.
Debang led everyone forward, suddenly made a gesture, and pointed to the big stone next to him, signaling everyone to hide. Ruijin immediately grabbed Kira, who was swimming nearby, and hid behind a mossy boulder, and the others also shrank back. A moment later, I saw a rushing stream of water, and it was clear that something was swimming. After a few seconds, everyone's heads went dark. Ruijin looked up and saw a behemoth swimming overhead. It is not clear what it looks like from this angle, but only a neck covered with nail pieces, each of which has a natural pattern. Large and small armor pieces wrapped the big creature tightly, and the figure like a small island quickly passed over their heads and gradually faded away.
The crowd breathed a sigh of relief and moved on. Soon the current in the lake was no longer calm, and a suction pulled them forward, and in front of them was a deep shadow. Ruijin swam up to the tracking expert and made an inquiring gesture. Debang pointed ahead and nodded vigorously, meaning that the lizards were heading in that direction. He pulled Ruijin and swam to a large rock, and the green moss on the stone clearly showed marks of sharp objects. Deep in the front and shallow in the back, it is obvious that the lizard is clawing on the stone to grab and borrow. And only when the lizard leaps forward will it leave these claw marks.
Ruijin nodded, gesturing to the crowd. The team swam to the shadows, and as they got close to the shadows, the suction increased so hard that the water rattled in their ears, and the people were already sucked uncontrollably. Everyone curled up and unleashed their source power to protect themselves from bumping into something as they were carried by the current towards the Dozhi. The process was short and intense, and Ruijin felt that the water suddenly slowed down after passing through the cavernous place. He opened his eyes, and there was a faint light above his head. Looking around, the team members were nearby, so they pointed upwards, and the team swam upwards.
A moment later, the black captain was the first to break through the water, and the bright sun immediately shone on him and he couldn't open his eyes. Once he had gotten used to the light, he found himself in a huge valley, and they were still in a lake. Behind it are towering mountain peaks, clouds drifting in the sky, and sunlight pouring down on the plain in front of the lake. There are many unnamed movements on the plains, some as big as chariots, others as small as hounds. As for the end of the plain, where the clouds were piled up and the fire was faintly visible, I didn't know what it was.
The team went ashore and rested for a while. Ruijin gave everyone ten minutes to rest, they opened the waterproof bag, took out the supplies, and took food and water to eat. Ruijin walked over to the tracking expert, and Debang was using a satellite communicator to contact the Bloodgate Fortress. But it didn't look smooth, and the black man sat down and asked, "How's it going?" ”
"Can't do it? Here there is serious interference, poor signal transmission. Debang shook his head.
"Hell." Ruijin raised his head, obviously the clouds above his head were light and breezy, and he didn't look like there was interference at all. However, he knew that nothing was impossible in the Garden of Eden, even if the planet was jointly developed by the Earth Federation and Idahua. But until now, there were too many areas they didn't know. This mysterious valley is one of them, and as for those skies that cannot be disturbed, there may also be energy particles that are not visible to the naked eye, and things like this are not uncommon in the Garden of Eden.
"Eat something, replenish your strength, it seems that the lizard's den is not far away."
"I hope so."
Ten minutes later, the team continued to set off. The lizards on the plains left clear enough traces that the team knew where to go without even having to be tracked by Debang. The team stopped from time to time, and Ruijin's face became heavier and heavier. Not only is the signal jammed here, but even the planet's magnetic field is extremely chaotic. In addition, the plains are a landform, and it is difficult to find a reference, and the surviving ones can infer the direction from the shadow of the sun. But as the sky gradually became surrounded by thick clouds, and the daylight was hidden, and even the sun could not be seen, the team could hardly argue.
"Head, maybe we'll have to go back." A bearded white colonel, he has a good gun and is called Yoda the sharpshooter by the team.
They had reached the end of the plain, and in front of them was a deep forest. From time to time there was a sharp mountain in the forest, the top of which was hidden in the low-hanging clouds, and from time to time the low-pressed thick clouds exploded with flickering thunder. The whole forest feels very bad, and there is no life in the black. Especially at the edge of the forest, where the green grass that used to cover the plains has disappeared, creating a dead zone.
"Perhaps, but let's not forget our responsibility." Ruijin said loudly, the wind was breathing here, and he couldn't convey his voice at all without raising the volume, "If this task is simple, then what does General Russen want us to do." It is because this task is difficult that we can show our value. Gentlemen, and two ladies, the lizard's nest is there, and success is not far away. Want me to turn back here? No, I can't! ”
Yoda shrugged, exchanged glances with the others, then raised his hand to Ruijin and said, "Okay, you're the head, you have the final say." ”
Ruijin nodded, but he wasn't a reckless person. His instincts told him that it was not safe in the forest, so he told his team to prepare and rest for ten minutes before starting to enter the forest.
Not long after entering the forest, the light became extremely dim. Looking up, the sky of the forest was blocked by the black canopy of trees, and only fragments of space remained, and every grass and tree here exuded some kind of malice. It was as if the forest was alive, and it was watching these uninvited people. The lizards still left enough traces in the forest, and it seemed that they had passed through the forest, so the team barely paused, and they followed the traces as they went deeper into the forest.
After two hours, Ruijin had to stop the team to rest. Oxygen is obviously much thinner than outside the forest, and there is a faint mist wafting through the forest, which makes the direction of the forest even more difficult to argue. Luckily, there were signs of lizards, otherwise they would have to get lost here.
While resting, the sharpshooter walked over, crouched down next to Ruijin, and whispered, "Something is wrong, head." It's so quiet here, remember the plains we passed when we came? There are a lot of animals there, but there doesn't seem to be a single animal in the forest. Apart from the traces left by the lizard, there are no traces of other animals. ”
"I also found out that I don't have to think about anything now, and the ecology of the forest will be left to the experts to study later. Our mission is to find the lizard's nest and retreat, it's as simple as that. ”
"Okay."
Suddenly there was a scream.
Ruijin and the sharpshooter looked up at the same time, and the voice came from another female member. She pointed to a tree in front of her and shouted, "Someone, I see someone up there." ”
"Delusion, you?"
"I didn't see anything."
Several members of the team shook their heads, they didn't see anything on the dim branches. At the end of the sentence, a black line suddenly shot out from the sky above the forest. There was a loud sound in the air, and Yoda roared, quickly pulling the gun and shooting. A source force bullet accurately intercepted the trajectory of the black line, exploding a spark, and something fell to the grass. It was a black bone spur mixed with metal particles, which made this spur extremely hard, otherwise it would not have blown it up without even the source force bullet.
There was a rustling sound in the forest, and it sounded like something was crawling over the trees.
Ruijin picked up the machine cannon and made a gesture, and the team immediately gathered together. Everyone is back to back, forming a defensive formation.
"We need a little light." Ruijin said deeply.
Debon immediately adjusted the appearance of the magic pistol, and then shot a glowing bullet into it. This light bomb shines brightly over the forest, and the luminous body can last for an hour or so, an hour, enough to settle a battle.
In the light, there were many strange sounds around the forest, the strange sounds of hurried syllables. Ruijin's face was gloomy when he heard it, it was clearly some kind of language they didn't know. At this time, a few leaves fell from the top of his head, and Ruijin suddenly looked up and saw a person quickly climbing down from the trunk.
Or rather, snake people!
