Early the next morning, all the adventurers met in one of the courtyards of the inn. At this point, the mission time has come and you can officially start the mission, but no one is in a hurry. This is not the second difficulty area of Lu Gaoyin, the phenomenon of competing for tasks no longer exists, and everyone no longer needs to chase after it in a hurry as before.

The meeting, chaired by Ambella, was responsible for announcing the action and benefits plan and details that were laid out yesterday.

Sure enough, the distribution plan caused a lot of controversy after it was introduced.

As Shen Yi gently envisioned, the controversy is not about the whole plan, but about the lack of details in the plan.

For example, it has been suggested that the 3.5 percent gain for commanders is too high and must be restricted.

In this regard, Wen Rou Zou Yi and others immediately pointed out that when the commander commands the battle, his own combat time will inevitably be relatively shortened, and the direct benefits will be damaged, so it must be compensated. So some people retorted, what if the command error leads to defeat?

It has been pointed out that if this happens, the commander can be disqualified and deprived of the benefits due to him. However, whether there is a mistake in the commander's command behavior should be voted on by everyone.

The argument was hilarious, and everyone was trying to fight for their own benefit. But precisely because of the different interests of each person, they only dwell on the details, and in the end they still go around under the big framework that is gently formulated, so that they cannot escape the fate of being used and controlled - just like as a part-time worker, no matter how much you ask for higher wages and benefits, your contribution will ultimately be greater than your benefit.

After arguing for more than an hour, and after many deletions and revisions, the specific plan of the alliance's action was finally settled. When choosing the commander-in-chief, to Shen Yi's surprise, he was elected with a high vote of 37 votes, and the only one who did not vote for him was the guy who was punched by Hong Lang for questioning Luo Sheng's four-percent reward from Duriel.

Perhaps in the eyes of scattered adventurers, Shen Yi is indeed the best choice.

The deputy conductors Ambella and Zong Tang were also successfully elected, and as the captains of the two teams, they did have this qualification.

When all this is settled, it is time for everyone to sign a formal agreement and form an alliance.

Just then, the unexpected happened.

"I refuse to join the Alliance!" a voice rang out in the crowd.

Following the voice, his gentle eyes suddenly contracted: "Old Meng?"

How could it be him?

Shen Yi also looked at Lao Meng in surprise: "What did you say?"

"I said I refused to join the alliance. From now on, I will do my tasks myself. I'm not going to grab the same mission with you, but I hope you don't interfere while I'm fighting. Lao Meng replied calmly.

Shen Yi couldn't believe his ears, and he asked again, "Are you sure of your choice?"

"Yes!" replied Lao Meng categorically.

Shen Yi looked at him deeply, and finally nodded after a while: "Okay! You are free to carry out your tasks, I promise we will not interfere." ”

"Then I'll go first. Lao Meng turned and left.

Everyone was dumbfounded, and some people privately discussed: "Is this guy having something awkward with the Broken Blade Team? Aren't they together?"

Hong Lang even shouted directly: "Did this guy take the wrong medicine? Or is his brain dizzy?"

Gentle and leisurely sigh: "No, his mind is very clear, maybe this is the best choice for him." ”

Shen Yi's heart moved slightly, but he finally didn't ask anything, just announced loudly: "If no one wants to quit again, then sign an agreement!"

―――――――――――――――

Everything was settled, and everyone finally got into action.

When you leave Kurast Harbour, the first thing you enter is the Spider Jungle. From here, all the way forward is the devil's territory. Due to the turbulent times, even the local residents did not know where the so-called spider caves, peeling jungles and other places were, but the city of Kurast could still give an approximate idea, but they only knew that it was in the west, but they did not know the specific location.

Since most of the scattered adventurers did not ride, and the tone of this mission was to seek stability, everyone did not use vehicles and horses anymore, and all used walking. During the march, the team was not arranged in a melee front, but all sixteen melee adventurers were arranged in a circle on the outermost periphery, with eight auxiliary and medium-range adventurers in the middle, and the innermost circle was a ranged combatant, forming a three-nested concentric circle.

The maximum diameter of this concentric circle is fifty meters, the diameter of the middle circle is thirty meters, and the arc distance between the adventurers is about ten meters, thus forming a circle formation with a relatively large area and a relatively loose formation.

The reason why it is arranged in such a formation instead of the traditional arrow formation is mainly because this is the first time everyone has entered this fierce land, and they do not know enough about the terrain and the difficulties they will encounter.

And the danger they will encounter may not only come from the front, but may also come from all directions. The Circle Array is the best defense system that can effectively resist such a large-scale sudden invasion.

As for ten meters of looseness, it may be too far for ordinary people, but for adventurers who can lift their legs and reach more than ten meters vertically, such a battle gap is already a constricted type.

As for the three commanders, they are more active, not limited to any area, and can move around freely, although most of the time they stay in the middle of the line.

Not far after walking out, Shen Yi came to Wen Wen's side, and he whispered in French-Arabic: "Talk to me about Lao Meng." What the hell is going on with him?"

Hearing Shen Yi ask her, she sighed softly and said something about the drawings for the manufacture of undead creatures. In the end, she said, "He has this thing, and if he is given enough time, he can easily build an army of immortals...... News of people going missing has been circulating in the seaport of Kurast since yesterday evening. ”

Shen Yi frowned: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Gentle silence for a while before she said, "I'm a little scared." I'm afraid that after you know this thing, I will be tempted and find a way to ask for it from Lao Meng. I know who you are, and if it's something you want, you'll do everything you can to get it. I'd rather destroy it than see you turn into a bloody and brutal machine...... I can accept that we fight for survival, kill people, and even kill some innocents, but I can't accept that we are perverted and crazy in order to survive, and turn slaughter and brutality into daily homework and fun. ”

Shen Yi smiled: "So little confidence in me?"

"If you want to talk about faith, there is still it. But I know that good women never test their men. ”

Shen Yi nodded, and he patted his gentle shoulder: "You did the right thing." ”

Returning to the center, Shen Yi looked at the gentle back in the distance thoughtfully, and then he walked to Frost's side: "Tell me what happened to you in the Temple of Death, Frost." ”

"Which ones do you want to know?"

"All!"

"Yes sir. ”

"Be quiet, Frost, don't let Gentle hear, her ears are very smart......"

Walk your way down the dense jungle, and the further you go, the more complex the jungle environment becomes.

The ground was littered with rotten leaves and grass roots that formed the mud that was so soft that it could sink half of your leg when you stepped on it. The surrounding area is full of towering trees, and the dense canopy of trees obscures the sky, making the already gloomy sky even darker, as if you are walking in the night.

In addition to the quagmire and dim vision, the most troublesome thing is the intertwined trees, vines and grasses, which are always intertwined to form a huge web-like existence, which often makes it difficult for people to move an inch.

Of course, these are not really problems for adventurers, but they can also make them impatient if they are faced with them all the time after walking for a long time—adventurers in the bloody city have become accustomed to fighting and fighting, but they are gradually becoming accustomed to labor and trekking.

"I said, don't we have a more advanced way to walk in this jungle, and everyone can spread out and move freely, so that there is no need to do such boring things. One of the adventurers grumbled helplessly, his sword wrapped around the vines, slashing at the thorn bushes that stood in his way. This C-rank sword didn't drink the blood of the monsters, but it was used as a firewood knife.

"Boring, you think it's boring?" Shen Yi heard this and walked over.

"Of course. The adventurer shrugged, "I don't know what you think, but it really doesn't make sense. I can run over this tree if I want. ”

As he spoke, he jumped out with a vertical leap, easily grabbed the trunk of a big tree, and then jumped onto another tree, moving as agile as an ape, and then jumped back and landed beside Shen Yi: "See, we are all superhumans, there is no need to open the way like ordinary soldiers fighting." For us, any road is an easy road. ”

"So these things don't have any effect on you......"

"Of course ......"

Before the adventurer finished speaking, Shen Yi suddenly grabbed him with a claw. He was startled, instinctively lowered his head to dodge, Shen Yi had already raised his knee and crashed into the other party, this time the person couldn't dodge again, he was knocked backwards by Shen Yi's knee, he was angry in his heart and was about to reprimand, Shen Yi flew in again, kicking him back again and again, his attention was attracted by Shen Yi, he didn't pay attention to the branches under his feet, he was tripped up, and suddenly lost his center of gravity, just as he was trying to stand firm, Shen Yi had kicked him into the thorn bush. Those thorns didn't do him any harm, but they severely blocked his vision. When he tried to stand up, he found that the moon-shooting gun was already on his head, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly raised his hands high.

Shen Yi said coldly: "It seems that it still has an impact." ”

He put away his gun and left, the adventurer was stunned for a moment, and several adventurers not far away snickered at this scene.

Back in the middle of the line, Ambella looked at him and smiled, "You always solve problems this way?"

"It depends on who's right. Shen Yi replied casually.

"Aren't you afraid that they will resent you in their hearts?"

"As long as they fear you more than they resent, that's not a problem. ”

"Very domineering ruling ideology. ”

Shen Yi replied: "I'm not dominating, I'm just using ...... Aren't you too?"

Ambella raised her eyebrows slightly: "That's right, use each other." ”

Due to the fact that they had to cut through all the thorns and thorns along the way, the speed of the march was not very fast, and it only covered thirty miles in three hours. For the adventurers who are "superhumans", this speed is like a turtle crawling. However, Shen Yi insisted on clearing a passage for everyone to come and go freely, so that when facing an irresistible monster, they at least had a passage that was convenient for everyone to escape quickly.

Seeing that the time was not early, Zong Tang suggested that everyone should rest for a while and eat something before continuing on the road. Shen Yi accepted this suggestion, and after arranging for several adventurers to be on duty at a distance, everyone could finally stop what they were doing. In fact, none of them were tired, but they were really tired of the endless labor, so a group of people sat together in groups of three or five, eating their own food, while chatting casually about unnutritious topics, most of the topics focused on women, so some lustful eyes were always swept around on gentle, Ambella and a few other female adventurers.

However, the three commanders didn't have this idle effort, and as soon as the team stopped, Zong Tang and Ambella came over to find Shen Yi. Zong Tang said: "There is something wrong with this, after walking for so long, why haven't you seen a monster?"

Ambella also said, "In the camp of Rugoin or Rogue, as soon as we get out of the safe zone, we will not be far away to see a large number of monsters roaming the wilderness. Although it is said that this is a jungle and the vision is limited, it is indeed a bit unreasonable to say that not a single monster has been encountered. ”

Shen Yi looked around, put his hands behind his back and thought for a while before saying, "Have you noticed something?"

"What?" asked both in unison.

Shen Yi said: "There is no bird call. ”

"No birds?"

"Yes, there are no birds, no beasts, and the whole forest is as if it were dead, and it is surprisingly quiet. Shen Yi said slowly: "Animals and plants coexist, and no jungle will be devoid of life. No matter what kind of world the dark world is, it is impossible to say that a jungle does not even have ordinary animals. ”

Ambella: "You mean ......"

Shen Yi looked up at the sky: "They were scared away, by those monsters from hell...... They're right here, right around here. ”

This answer made both of them shudder at the same time. Zong Tang asked, "Then why can't we see them?"

After thinking about it, Shen Yi replied: "Two answers." One is that these monsters are very few in number, and they are good at stealth, and they may have a bit of intelligence, knowing that they are not our opponents so they are hiding. The answer is relatively simple. ”

"And what about the other answer?"

"Then it's a lot more troublesome......" Shen Yi looked at the two of them and replied in a casual voice:

"They may no longer be a group of idle wandering beings, as in the first and second difficulty, but a group of organized, disciplined, army-like beings. We either can't touch them, but when we do...... It's just a whole monster army!"

As Shen Yi said this, a terrible howl suddenly broke through the silent sky.

"Attack!" an adventurer who was on guard duty on the periphery ran over from outside and shouted: "Attack! Attack in a big way!!
