Chapter 44: The First Mission
readx;? Night. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoGong Yue slept on the hard stone bed, and although the uneven stone edge hurt his back, he felt much better than sleeping in the open air on the dirt in the forest. After all, there are walls to protect you from the wind and rain, and you don't have to worry about getting up and fighting the monsters at any time.
Seeing that Zhang Xiaobao on the side was sleeping very deeply, Gong Yue knew that Zhang Xiaobao was also like him, and had a sense of security. But Gong Yue didn't fall asleep like Zhang Xiaobao. In this quiet night, Gong Yue couldn't help but think of Chen Tie and Li Jing who were keeping vigil for him, as if their departure was just a dream, so unreal, he only felt that as long as he turned around, he could see the couple snuggling together sitting on the fire. Gong Yue remembered his comfortable home again, although it was not big or luxurious, but there were always people who loved him and those who loved him waiting for him, and Gong Yue spent this long night in the careful memories.
"Get up, it's time to earn a share of work!" Li Zixin's rough voice echoed in the stone room. He was very excited at this time, after all, he could lead the team out to do tasks so soon, and not every squad leader could get such an opportunity.
"It's only a few o'clock. Zhang Xiaobao woke up from the noise, opened the door with hazy eyes, and suddenly saw Jing standing at the door in military uniform, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he was completely awake. He saw Jing carrying a sniper rifle on his back, a pistol inserted in his left and right belts, and wearing a new military uniform, looking very handsome and free.
"Hey, Jing Beauty, good morning. Zhang Xiaobao hurriedly walked up and said hello.
"Are you going out in this?" Jing said coldly, Zhang Xiaobao lowered his head, only to find that he was only wearing an undershirt and big pants, and immediately blushed with shame, and immediately turned his head and went back to his room.
"It's a big shame. Zhang Xiaobao touched his hair, it was already messy, he estimated that his current appearance must be an indescribable frustration, so he hurriedly begged Gong Yue, "Fatty, hurry up and give me a big water balloon, otherwise I won't be able to go out."
Gong Yue saw that his chin was full of saliva, his hair was on top of a chicken nest, and his eyes were piled up, and he really looked like he couldn't see anyone. So he waved his hand, and a big water balloon formed instantly and smashed on Zhang Xiaobao's body.
"Much more comfortable. Zhang Xiaobao waited for the water balloon to disperse, and regardless of the remaining water droplets on his body, he hurriedly put his military uniform on his body, put on a charming smile, and walked out of the door. It's a pity that he smiled at Jing for a long time, and Jing didn't even look at him more.
Gong Yue also freshened up a little, and then walked out of the room. Although he didn't sleep all night, because of the relationship between the foundation just now, the dantian was full of energy, so he didn't feel sleepy at all. He estimated that only when the true yuan in the dantian was exhausted, he could need to sleep due to mental malaise, otherwise he would not need to sleep much in his life.
Zhao Daniu is also an early riser, and before Li Zixin came in, he had been practicing kung fu outside for an hour. When he came back, he saw that Li Zixin had arrived, and the other three were also standing in the hall, so he greeted everyone, and then went back to his room to get a package out.
"Just prepared, I brought some food for us to eat at noon. ”
"Brother Zhao is still thoughtful, let's set off if there is nothing else. Li Zixin, as the squad leader, should also decide everything by him.
So the five of them walked out of the stone house, walked out of the barracks, and walked towards the south gate of Huaxia City. Along the way, they saw houses made of stone on both sides of the road. Many of these houses were occupied by new contestants, but many of them were still empty. The five of them walked for more than 20 minutes before they reached the south gate.
The south gate is also guarded by soldiers. After Li Zixin showed the pass to the soldiers guarding the gate, the soldiers let the five people go.
"Why do you need a pass to get out of the city?" Zhang Xiaobao couldn't help but ask Li Zixin when he saw the process just now.
"There is no way, after all, except for the people of the Gendaya civilization who have three eyes, the people of the other three civilizations are not much different from us humans, in case they have spies who sneak into our Huaxia City, it is not a joke. Li Zixin explained.
"Okay, we're out of town, we can run in peace. Gong Yue said.
"Why do you want to run, don't you waste your physical strength?" Jing hurriedly asked, she was carrying a heavy sniper rifle, and she was most afraid of running.
"Jing beauty, don't worry, Fat Gong has a way. Zhang Xiaobao said to Jing with a smile.
Gong Yue smiled and waved his hand, "Heaven and earth return to the origin, wind!" Suddenly, a gust of green wind swept across the five people, and the bodies of the five people immediately became extremely light.
"Wow!" Not only Li Zixin, but even Zhao Daniu and Jing all sighed in unison, "What a magical spell!"
"Fatty, how did your spell become so strong, I feel lighter than before. Zhang Xiaobao felt the difference in this spell and said in surprise.
"Hehe, if you break through, you will naturally become stronger. Gong Yue replied with a smile.
"Very good, Brother Gong, with your spell, I estimate that I will be able to complete the task and return this afternoon. After Li Zixin finished speaking, he jumped forward lightly, and jumped five or six meters away.
"I've really picked up a treasure!" he sighed inwardly.
So, with a feeling of surprise, everyone quickly ran to the south. They still have an endless green grassland along the way, fortunately there is a road and navigation determined by Li Zixin, otherwise they really feel that they will be lost in this vast grassland. In less than three hours, they were at the end of the grassland, the entrance to the Valley of Scales.
The Valley of the Scales is a canyon sandwiched between two towering mountains that cannot be seen from the top. The faint mist coming from the valley made it look very deep, and as far as the eye could see, there were bare rocks, and there were few plants to be seen except for the few weeds growing on the rocks.
"Squad leader, are you sure that white-scaled grass grows in this Scales Valley? Why do I feel that the fog in this valley is very large, it is quite similar to the Dragon Valley in the game I played?" Zhang Xiaobao looked at the bottomless valley, and couldn't help but feel a hairy feeling in his heart.
"That's right, the mission introduction I got above is definitely here. Li Zixin looked at the positioning of the watch and the task record in his notebook, and after repeatedly confirming that it was correct, he took the lead and walked into the valley.
"Hmph, coward, are you so scared of a little fog? Are you still not a man?" Jing glanced at Zhang Xiaobao with a look of disdain, and followed Li Zixin into the valley.
"Who said I'm not a man!" Zhang Xiaobao hurriedly replied, then took a big step forward and caught up with Jing. Then he turned around and gave Gong Yue a look.
"This kid. I'm still scared. Gong Yue waved his hand, and a golden light sprinkled on Li Zixin, Zhang Xiaobao and Jing.
When Jing Yi saw the golden light, he hurriedly turned around and smiled at Gong Yue, and said, "Thank you, fat man, remember to add this spell to me all the time!"
"Damn, dead fat!" Zhang Xiaobao couldn't help but scold when he saw Jing being so kind to Gong Yue.
"Uncle Zhao, let's go too. Gong Yue waved his hand again, and a golden light sprinkled on himself and Zhao Daniu's bodies. To be honest, Gong Yue, like Zhang Xiaobao at first, had a hairy sense of fear in his heart, for fear that some monster would emerge from the valley. It's just that these many people are with him, which gives him a lot of courage.
"Okay" Although Zhao Daniu didn't know what this golden light was for, he was still very relieved after hearing Jing's words. It's just that he followed behind Gong Yue, and as he walked, he took out two black half-cut gloves from his pocket and put them on his hands.
Gong Yue looked at Zhao Daniu's movements, not too understanding his intentions, Zhao Daniu smiled at Gong Yue, and said, "Be prepared." ”
Everyone walked all the way to the valley, and after walking for more than half an hour, they didn't encounter any monsters, but the fog was getting bigger and bigger, and they didn't know where the fog came from.
Suddenly, Jing, who has night vision skills, suddenly noticed something in front of her and hurriedly ran over.
"Don't leave the group, Jing Beauty. Zhang Xiaobao ran forward without thinking about it. Jing ran a few steps before stopping, half-crouching on the ground. Zhang Xiaobao ran to her, only to see that there was a white thing growing on the ground like the scales of a large fish under her feet.
"This is the white-scaled grass. Li Zixin also ran over. He leaned down and pulled up the white fish scales in front of him. "This thing is quite heavy, exactly like the mission description. ”
"What's the use of this white-scaled grass?" Zhang Xiaobao is a curious baby, and he wants to ask if he encounters anything he doesn't know.
"It is said that those who inherit the alchemist can use this white scale grass to make a bone-strengthening medicine, and eating it can increase the hardness of our bones and enhance the endurance attributes. Li Zixin explained.
"It seems that this is a good thing, it's still early, and when we have picked enough a kilogram, we will pick a little more for our own use." "It was Zhao Daniu who spoke, and as the oldest person in the team, he always considered things more comprehensively than others. So his suggestion was immediately approved by everyone.
So they divided up and gathered the white-scaled grass. It's just that the fog in the valley is too big and the vision is not good, only Li Zixin and Jing, who have night vision, are easier to find. 、
Despite this, everyone picked for more than an hour, and still picked three or four kilograms of white-scaled grass.
"I see that the land is almost finished, and there is nothing wrong with the ride, so let's go back quickly." Gong Yue proposed, he saw that the further he went to the bottom, the more fog there became, and he was really afraid that something would come out of the valley.
"I'd like to look inside. Jing said, "I guess these white-scaled grasses will definitely be able to exchange a lot of points in the future, so it is better to take this opportunity to collect more." ”
"I'm in favor of Jing Beauty!" Zhang Xiaobao expressed his opinion without hesitation.
"I think what Brother Gong said is right, safety first. "Zhao Daniu is more stable and knows the truth of accepting it when he sees it.
"Squad leader, what do you think?" Jing saw a disagreement, so he asked Li Zixin, after all, Li Zixin is the squad leader, and his words have the ultimate absolute power.
"Actually, I feel like we can go a little bit further in. Li Zixin said, "We have Brother Gong's acceleration technique, if something really happens, we are not afraid that we will not be able to escape." ”
"Now that the squad leader has spoken, let's move on. Zhang Xiaobao hurriedly said.
Gong Yue and Zhao Daniu considered that Li Zixin's words were also very reasonable, so they no longer proposed to go out. It's just that Gong Yue gave everyone another vajra technique, just in case.
So they walked and mined for more than a kilometer into the valley, and did not stop until the road ahead was out of sight when the fog was so foggy.
"Okay, let's stop here today, anyway, we have picked more than ten catties, and it is definitely enough for the short term. Li Zixin said, "Now let's go back." ”
"Alright, let's go home. Zhang Xiaobao, who volunteered to be a coolie, regretted agreeing to Jing's suggestion to go inside since he filled the bag in his hand with more than a dozen catties of scales, and now he just wants to go back quickly.
Suddenly, Gong Yue's divine sense suddenly felt that more than a dozen things were rushing towards him from the deeper part of the valley.
"Trouble, something's coming!"
