Chapter 31: The Behemoth in the Way
readx;? Nothing was said all night. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć When it was dawn, Chen Tie woke up Zhang Xiaobao and Gong Yue, and on the other side, Lin Yuanzhi also called his five senior brothers and sisters out of bed. After a little freshening up, they packed their belongings and continued south.
The further south you go, the more teams you will encounter. Many teams have gathered together on national borders. The Iron Fist Gate team soon merged with several Huaxia teams. Everyone chatted with each other about their experiences in the forest, so that the rush was not so boring.
Gong Yue found that the people around him were mainly black-haired, yellow-skinned Asians, and there were also many Asians who had some Europeans and Africans mixed in the team, and there were very few teams composed of Europeans and Americans or Africans. Not only Gong Yue discovered this problem, but even several of Lin Yuanzhi's junior brothers and sisters also found out, so they asked about Lin Yuanzhi.
"This is normal," Lin Yuanzhi smiled and said, "Because the easternmost part of this forest is the teleportation point of our Asian region, and only through the teleportation point can we reach our Asian region's station this week." ā
"Then why don't you just pass it over there instead of letting us go through this forest?" asked a disciple of the Iron Fist Sect.
"That's because you have to pass through this forest to make your abilities, otherwise if you go directly to the station, you will only die. Lin Yuanzhi said with a smile, "So this forest is also known as the novice forest, if you can't even pass through this forest, you don't have to participate in the later competitions." ā
Only then did everyone realize that this forest was just a preliminaries before the competition. "Faint to death, this forest is so dangerous, then I don't know what horror is going on, it seems that it is really difficult for me to return home. When Gong Yue thought of this, his mood seemed to be broken, and he instantly lost the strength of his whole body. He felt that he could not see hope or a purpose to continue his struggle.
Zhang Xiaobao saw Gong Yue hanging his head and the lost brilliance in his eyes, and knew that he must have been frightened by Lin Yuanzhi's words. So he hurriedly walked to Gong Yue's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said encouragingly, "Fatty, don't worry about the future, you see that we are all together, haven't we all broken through to the dangers we encountered before?"
Gong Yue looked up at Zhang Xiaobao and barely squeezed out a smile, "Xiaobao, thank you for enlightening me." I'm just a little homesick. ā
"Hehe, you should be a person who comes out to fool around, you see there are so many girls here, you hook up a few now, and if you go back to the earth without evidence, you are not afraid of your wife's investigation. Zhang Xiaobao said with a smile, when it comes to girls, he is very energetic.
"Hey, don't think I'm the same as you think. When Gong Yue said this, his originally depressed mood was diluted a lot.
"Senior Brother Lin, why are you only telling these things now? Chen Tie didn't know anything about these things before, he didn't expect Lin Yuanzhi to hide them all along, so he asked reproachfully.
"Senior Brother Chen, don't blame me, it was the military that made us squad leaders keep it secret, saying that it was to prevent a few people from deserting and affecting morale, and it was also afraid that some strong people from China would go to other countries. Lin Yuanzhi pretended to be innocent and answered Chen Tie's question.
Chen Tie sighed, thinking that you Lin Yuanzhi didn't trust us so much, it was really unpleasant. But Chen Tie also said what he thought in his heart, so as not to cause more trouble.
The group followed the large group forward for a long time, and near noon, they finally reached a position five kilometers away from the final teleportation point. Suddenly, he was blocked by a large group of men and horses in front.
"Is there something going on in front of you? why don't you go forward?" Chen Tie couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that nearly thousands of people were camping in front of him, stopping to rest. He hurriedly ran to the front of the squad closest to them and asked the few people who were sitting on the ground eating, "Excuse me, are you from Huaxia?"
"We are Southeastern Islanders. A bearded middle-aged man stood up from the ground and walked up to Chen Tie, "I can speak Huaxia, may I ask you something?"
Chen Tie hurriedly asked, "May I ask why you didn't leave, did something happen before?"
The bearded man sighed and said, "Well, I don't know what happened, there was a super huge bear-headed monster blocking the portal, not letting anyone get close. A few squads had already died there, so we were all here waiting for the beast to leave on its own. ā
"Bear-headed giant beast, could it be the one chasing us in the forest?" Chen Tie immediately hurriedly picked up the terrifying monster, and the four of them almost lost their lives.
"There are so many of you, don't you think of any way?" Chen Tie couldn't help but ask.
"What can you do, you haven't seen that monster, it's not something that humans can compete with at all, and it is estimated that you will need to use a nuclear bomb to kill it. The bearded man also looked helpless, "So everyone can only sit here and wait." It's just that we're all worried that after the portal energy is exhausted, this monster is still unwilling to leave, so everyone can only find energy crystals to open the portal. ā
Chen Tie learned the general situation, so he returned to his team and told the people of the Iron Fist Gate about the matter. "I didn't expect it to be the bear-headed beast. As soon as Li Jing heard that it was the monster, her eyes immediately turned red, "Damn, we must kill it and avenge Senior Brother Xu Qing." ā
"Let's sit here and wait and see if the military can do anything. Lin Yuanzhi didn't care at all about that monster killing Xu Qing, what he cared about was that he hadn't met anyone from the military until now.
Chen Tie comforted Li Jing for a while, and then led the three of them to find a clean place and sit down. After a while, many more teams came, and when they learned what happened to the portal, they were helpless to find a place to wait. The follow-up team accumulated more and more, and after an afternoon, more than 20,000 people gathered.
"If you don't think about it, the portal will close at twenty-four in the morning. Someone couldn't sit still and shouted loudly.
"It's a big deal to fight with that monster, so many people have been inherited in the forest, can't you beat this monster together" There are also people who want to arouse everyone's fighting spirit. But most of them are still watching, after all, they only have one life, and they can let others do the things of death, and they can enjoy their achievements later.
At ten o'clock in the evening, the people at the front saw that the monster had no intention of leaving, and finally could not sit still, so they summoned the captains of all the teams to the front for a meeting. This includes not only the contingent from the north to the south, but also the contingent of forty or fifty thousand people from the south to the north. So this time, a total of about 800 squad leaders on both sides were gathered. Lin Yuanzhi, as the captain of the Iron Fist Gate, was also invited to the meeting.
"What, the people from the army have already entered the portal? Didn't Colonel Xu Qian say that he would wait for us for five days?" When hundreds of team leaders from various sects and factions learned from those in the know that the elite of the army had all entered the portal regardless of the others, the venue suddenly exploded. Countless words were mixed together, and it was even more chaotic and noisy than Huaxia Chengguan entering the vegetable market. Some people cursed, some shouted to return to Earth, and some even took out their weapons and slammed the ground to vent their dissatisfaction. Many people have come up with the idea of moving to other regions. It's just that they also know in their hearts that they have to go to the portals in other regions now, and it's too late in time.
Lin Yuanzhi had a headache at this time, he thought that he had a good relationship with the military, and he wanted to be taken care of by the military in the later games, but he didn't expect the military to leave them all here.
"Everyone be quiet!" A two-meter-tall man roared, and the voice suddenly resounded throughout the venue, and all the hundreds of people present were shaken by his voice, as if their hearts were suspended for a few seconds. The venue was silent for a moment, except for the sizzling of torches around it.
The big man roared, "If we want to deal with that giant beast, we must unite and come up with a countermeasure, and it will be useless to make a noise like you!" After saying that, he slammed the huge mace in his hand to the ground, and the earth shook a little.
