Chapter 17 Strong Stand
The hinterland of the Shadow Song Forest is full of crises.
Ye Tian led his team through the lush dense forest, one ancient tree after another towered into the sky, blocking most of the light, and the clumps of branches stretched out wantonly, completely cutting off their way forward.
With no choice, Ye Tian and the others could only move forward while opening the tree, and the speed of travel was very slow.
If that's all there is to it, the most disturbing thing is that in this dark environment, they may be attacked by mutant monsters at any time, and it is difficult to respond in time.
The pressure was not ordinary, and someone in the team finally couldn't hold it back, broke the silence, and proposed: "Number one, although you are the captain designated by Lord Scar, but considering that you have just come of age and don't have much combat experience, I think you should listen to our opinions more, such as turning on the searchlight, you must know that our current visual distance is only three meters at most, if a mutant demonic beast targets us, we don't know how to die when the time comes!" ”
"Are you sure?" Ye Tian turned his head and glanced at No. 9 lightly, that is, the man who spoke, from the moment he left the training camp, No. 9 had been finding fault with him, and then showing his command ability, which had the meaning of elevating him and replacing him.
As the number one, he has the right to choose the team members first, and the reason why he chose the number nine is because his strength is the strongest one except for the eight captains, but now it seems that he is a little too taken for granted, and he has invisibly found himself in trouble.
"It's not for sure, it's basic common sense! You don't even know this, how can you be a good captain? Nine smiled, with an undisguised look of disdain and ridicule, sometimes strength is not linked to leadership ability, and this is what he wants to express along the way.
For the position of captain, No. 9 is determined to win, you must know that this is a special operation mission, and the great opportunity to be directly promoted to a full-fledged cosmic mercenary is in front of him, if he can replace No. 1, then he can maximize the resources of the entire team, and then achieve his goal.
And after his agitation along the way, except for the little fat man who had a good relationship with No. 1 was unmoved, everyone else hesitated a little and began to fall to his side.
This is also where his greatest reliance lies, although No. 1 is the captain designated by Lord Scar, as long as the hearts of the people are on his side, the actual control of the entire team will fall into his hands sooner or later.
"Also, it's too time-consuming and laborious to move forward while opening the tree, and when we get to the destination, the daylilies are cold, and the best way is to go full speed and catch up with the ...... as soon as possible" Nine looked smug and wanted to say something, but at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
I saw a black ancient tree not far away split into two, and one of the "trunks" came to life all of a sudden, and with a flick of the bow, it shot towards Ye Tian and the others like an arrow from the string.
"Wire Python!"
Everyone's complexion changed greatly, and they exclaimed, their hearts were full of fear, you must know that in the training camp before, they had witnessed an unlucky ghost being bloodily strangled and devoured by a wire python, and there are still psychological shadows, and the wire python in front of them is much thicker than the one they saw at the beginning.
What's even more unfavorable is that due to the suddenness of the incident and such a dark environment, by the time they see clearly and react, it is already too late.
At such a critical moment, No. 9, who was still vibrating before, quietly retreated and hid at the rear, but a figure stepped forward and resolutely stood at the front.
"Huh!"
In the dark environment, a pair of snow-white knives slashed through the night sky, and when Ye Tian and the wire python staggered, they accurately slashed at the seven-inch vital part of the wire python, and chopped off its huge head at once.
Like a pillar of blood gushing out, the headless wire python was unable to move anymore after convulsing and struggling for a while, and was already too dead to die.
"It's so strong! Number one, buddy's life will be delivered to you! The little fat man was slightly stunned, then reacted and gave Ye Tian a thumbs up.
The rest of the team was also full of shock, although the Wire Python was not a high-level mutant demonic beast, but because of its rough skin and thick flesh and huge body, it was very difficult, plus in this dark environment, they had almost no reaction time when they suddenly encountered a surprise attack, and just when they didn't know how to deal with it, Ye Tian killed the terrifying Wire Python with one sword, and the strength he showed was amazing.
Now they finally understood why Scar, who had always been cold-blooded and ruthless, looked at Number One differently, and it seemed that Number One's strength had long since surpassed them, and left them far behind.
And after thinking about it, the rest of the team stayed away from No. 9 and stood beside Ye Tian, maybe some of No. 9's statements were quite reasonable, but everyone was not stupid, at the most critical moment just now, No. 9 cowered and did not have any responsibility, which formed an incomparably sharp contrast with No. 1 who stepped forward.
If they had to choose a captain, they would definitely choose the number one, not the number nine.
What's more, the strong strength shown by No. 1 has also completely conquered them, and it is obviously much safer to follow No. 1 than to follow No. 9.
"The reason why I don't turn on the searchlight is because in such a dark environment, if the light is too bright, it is easy to attract the attention of other mutant monsters, and although the speed of stealth is very slow, on the one hand, it can reduce the danger as much as possible, and at the same time, it can save physical strength to the greatest extent." Ye Tian wiped the blood stains on the battle knife, explained lightly, and then turned around and continued to move forward.
This time, there was no more questioning voice, and the rest of the team quickly followed up, and took the initiative to share the task of opening the way ahead, and they were already convinced, and completely agreed with Ye Tian, the team leader.
No. 9's face turned blue and red for a while, and after thinking about it, he finally followed the team obediently, and didn't dare to say anything more, let alone trouble Ye Tian.
After this episode, Ye Tian's team worked together, and the speed of movement was greatly accelerated, although it was inevitable that they encountered several mutant monster raids during the period, but under Ye Tian's strong attack, they all survived safely and unharmed.
After a whole day of sneaking, Ye Tian's team finally arrived at the mission location sent to them by Scar, and after seeing the scene in front of them, they couldn't help but gasp, and their faces became extremely pale.
