When the morning sun shone over the land, the team began to move forward again.

Tombs have been erected on the vast grassland, and the only thing they can do at present is that the living people will bury the remains of their comrades who died last night. Half of this team of nearly 20,000 people are members of the Qingyun Society, and in terms of casualties, these people account for the largest number of casualties. Xu Qingyun stood in front of many tombs, his face was solemn, and he bowed deeply for a long time.

The rest of the people watched silently.

"Guys, the facts have made it clear how dangerous the rest of the road will be." Xu Qingyun turned his head and solemnly said to everyone, "I still say the same thing, and if you want to quit now, it's still too late." ”

No one answered his words.

Having come to this point, there is no reason for anyone to give up halfway, let alone abandon their companions, and the more dangerous the situation, the more proof they should move forward.

Xu Qingyun nodded, a touching smile appeared on his face, this was the result he expected at this moment, he also knew that even if he said all his good words, no one would leave, this was his last advice, and he would not say anything like that in the future.

"Thank you, and we'll go on—"

The herds of tombs were quietly left on the grassland, and the army was once again mobilized.

Of the 20,000 troops, there are only about 16,000 people left, and this is only one night, and the danger here is indeed far beyond expectations, and it seems that there are still a lot of troubles to be solved before catching up with the man in red, and a few mosquitoes have already reduced them to this situation, and everyone has to try not to imagine what will happen to them in the future. Zheng Xiaofeng faintly had a feeling, he seemed to understand, with the ability of the man in red, even if he came here alone, it was not a difficult thing, but why did he gather a large number of people to accompany him, the reason is that he needs a group of cannon fodder, and if he encounters danger along the way, it is enough to have someone else on top of it, and the man in red himself can reduce a lot of trouble and speed up a lot of progress.

But their group is different, as long as the person is not dead, they have no reason to abandon any of them, and now there are still almost half of the wounded in the team, with them, the journey is obviously going to be slowed down, in such a level of unknown and dangerous environment, the longer it is delayed, the more unfavorable it is for them.

There are still more than two hundred kilometers away from the destination of the Shadow Abyss, and it is probably not impossible for the team to struggle on this island for another ten days and half a month.

Fortunately, Dong Que had to say that the self-recovery ability of his current mana had been greatly improved, and if nothing else, those wounded should be able to recover before midnight today under his treatment.

Besides, there is also Zhang Shimeng, although she and Liu Bosun are no longer able to compare with Dong Quede's current spell strength, but among the capable people in the world, they are still top-level cultivators.

In general, the current situation is half good and half bad, it is not clear, and the mentality of everyone is still good.

After an hour's quick walk, the team had only advanced three or four thousand meters.

Last night, a heavy rain made the road extremely muddy, and with the tall weeds in front of him, the progress was much slower than yesterday, and Kudo said that he would be able to get out of the grassland tonight, but I hope it is true.

The only thing to be thankful for is that it seems to be very safe during the day, and everyone has been very vigilant since last night's events, but after walking for so long, they have not encountered anything abnormal, and the mood has slowly changed from nervous to boring.

Constantly cutting grass, constantly pulling feet out of the mud puddle, that was all they did.

Dong Que has to heal the wounded as long as his mana recovers a little, and the progress is good, but Zheng Xiaofeng is a little worried in his heart, he does this, and the mana value is always maintained at a very low level, if he really encounters any trouble that cannot be solved except for spells, these people will probably suffer a big loss.

But Zheng Xiaofeng didn't say this idea, after all, people can't help but save.

Some people who were in good shape and had the strength to talk had to make small talk with each other as a pastime.

As he walked, He Xianbi suddenly said to Zhao Wanbi: "To tell you the truth, I was impressed by your performance last night, I really didn't expect your scrap iron to be quite useful." ”

Zhao Wanbi sat on the mecha, crossed Erlang's legs, drank water leisurely, and said with a smile: "What do you think? Never underestimate the power of technology. ”

"I knew you would have brought a few more, it was too prescient." He Xianbi said again.

Zhao Wanbi couldn't help but sigh and said, "You think this thing is so good, aren't you?" I've spent all my time on this, buddy, since Red City. It's useless for you to envy. ”

He Xianbi pursed his lips and said that you have to be scared, with your little ass, sooner or later there will be a time to suffer.

Tang Xiaoyue was always chatting with the injured people of the Qingyun Club, taking care of them if she could, and she really played the role of "sister-in-law" very well.

Shen Qianjue, Yan Feiyu, Feng Moqin, and Xu Qingyun were walking, and they also had to make plans for the next things.

"You said that in case, we are really so unlucky, and by the time we find the Shadow Abyss, there are not many people left in the team, how should we deal with that man in red at that time?" Wind Demon Chin asked the question first.

Yan Feiyu didn't say anything, but said: "Judging from the current situation, the situation you said is indeed very likely to happen." ”

Xu Qingyun is still relatively optimistic in comparison, this is also his attitude towards the world, he said: "We are uncomfortable, their team is not much stronger, those miscellaneous soldiers under him, the average is far worse than the people on our side, we have attrition, they must also have, I estimate that in the end, it will have to be a few of us and the man in red head-on, others, to be honest, can't help." ”

It's just that to be honest, if you can't find any magic strokes, it's really a big unknown to be able to confront the man in red head-on.

Shen Qianjue didn't speak, and she also knew in her heart that she might be the last choice against the man in red.

Strong hand duels often bring people great anticipation and excitement, Shen Qianjue did not reveal it on the surface, but in her heart she hoped that this day would come soon, since the fall of Lord Shadow, she has not found an opponent who can fight for it with all her might, people are the same, all kinds of monsters are the same, even people like Yan Feiyu, Wind Demon Qin, Xu Qingyun, at most it is only a restriction, and it still can't defeat her, which is the same as the inevitability of the man in red.

Gradually, everyone noticed a small detail, the deeper they went, the higher the terrain seemed to be, and today, they experienced a lot of uphill climbs, and the road under their feet began to have a slight slope.

The morning was uneventful.

At noon, nature surprised them again.

As the island gets deeper and deeper, more and more strange creatures appear between heaven and earth, yesterday it was just strange birds and insects, today they will encounter some more massive terrestrial animals from time to time, a group of giant beasts that resemble rhinoceros, about the height of elephants, about 20 or so, passing by in groups in front of everyone, saying that it is a ceratosaurus and some people believe it, it does look quite similar, maybe it is really the same origin as the ceratosaurus. There are also some things that look like giraffes, but the difference is that there are two necks attached to the torso under their heads, which are wrapped around in an O-shape, which is really strange. The number of birds in the sky is also becoming more and more dense, and the size is also getting bigger and bigger, and almost everywhere you go, you can see a dense flock of birds overhead, and all kinds of strange calls are like a symphony, which is purely their heaven and earth.

Everyone was almost a little skeptical, if they went any further, they would encounter some ancient creatures such as dinosaurs, and it was not impossible that there was still something that had not yet become extinct in this place.

So far, among all the creatures encountered during the day, they have not been aggressive to humans, and it seems that the island is two completely different worlds during the day and night, and the Poda and mosquitoes do not appear during the day.

The rest of the road was even more lackluster.

It's just that in the afternoon, Kudo Jun gave everyone a not-so-good news.

The drone detected that after walking through the grassland, there is only a short part of the road that is relatively easy to walk, and then they will enter a more complex terrain - the primeval forest.

In the bird's-eye view sent back by the drone, there is a tree canopy endlessly, and there is not even a large open space, and because of this, the drone failed to capture the specific traces of the team of the men in red, and the other party may be in any position in the forest.

Dong Que couldn't help but sigh and said, "Ya, I thought that it would be easier to get through today's road, but who would have thought that there would be more difficult things." What if there is no way out? And then cut down all the trees? ”

When Zheng Xiaofeng heard this, a sour feeling instantly welled up in his heart, and the last time he cut down a tree, Cheng Ruxue left.

Bai Qianyu said: "Let's take one step at a time, anyway, we just walked the road that the red-clothed people had traveled through." ”

The long day is coming to an end, and when dusk comes, the grass in front of us begins to thin, large and small pools of water appear on the ground, and the landscape seems to gradually transition to swamps and shoals.

This suggests that they are already crossing the edge of the steppe.

The crowd stepped on the shallow water and made a noisy sound of "bang, bang, bang".

As he walked, Edison suddenly let out a "tsk", and then couldn't help but look down at his boots, his expression seemed a little weird.

The people around him didn't pay much attention and continued to walk, and Edison tried to continue walking a little further, but soon he had to stop and bend down instead.

Zhang Ziyang passed by him and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Edison looked a little confused and said, "My shoes seem to get into the water." So saying, he put one foot on the ground and took off his right boot.

"Accidentally broke it during the scuffle last night?" Zhang Ziyang asked again.

"No, it's been a good day today, but it suddenly got water from just now, you see, my socks are wet."

Edison shook it, and did pour some water out of his boot.

"Is there a stone in the water, and it is broken?" Zhang Ziyang had to speculate like this, but Edison shook his head and said: "It's not right, you know the quality of our equipment, and it may not be okay to cut with a knife, let alone a stone." ”

As he spoke, he carefully searched for the source of the problem, and after searching for a long time, he finally found an inconspicuous hole in the sole of his shoe.

"It's weird." Edison was puzzled, "What's in the water that's so hard?" ”

Zhang Ziyang subconsciously looked at the hole twice, and didn't find anything wrong at first, but after the third second, his eyelids suddenly twitched inexplicably, and his face changed and said: "Wait-look at this hole-it doesn't seem to be as simple as a scratch-"

Edison didn't know why, but he looked at it again, and then he "hissed", because he suddenly realized that there seemed to be many jagged marks around the hole, and it looked like ...... It's like you've been bitten by something.

The two of them looked at each other suddenly, and suddenly blurted out tacitly: "What kind of living creature is in the water?!" ”

Apparently, this living creature also loves to bite.
