The second time, the battle for position
The second round of the dispute over position
"What is a movie?" Lao Ji looked at Cui Xue with a confused expression.
Cui Xue grinned and pointed with his hand: "The shadow under the electricity is the movie." As he spoke, a huge thunderbolt suddenly slashed down, and in the lightning, Lao Ji's shadow became fangs and claws, fierce and vicious.
Lao Ji looked at his mighty shadow and smiled silently, and said secretly: "The movie is really an exaggerated thing, my Lao Ji was born so peacefully, but this movie is so fantastic." ”
Not far away, the thunder and fire mercilessly hit the big tree where everyone was sheltering from the rain, and the flames suddenly burst into the sky. Lao Ji was stunned, glanced at Cui Xue beside him, and secretly said that Cui Xue was really a god. Along the way, at least four times, Cui Xue unexpectedly made absolutely correct judgments.
The tree was split by the thunder and fire, and the branches were scattered all over the ground, and the people who were alive immediately scattered and fled. In fact, it was not that they wanted to escape, but that the mounts under their crotches were all frightened and scattered.
I don't know how long it took, but the sound of the rain gradually subsided and the wind became quieter.
The scattered crowd regrouped, only to find that there were seven people and seven horses scorched under the tree.
The living people all sighed, if they had listened to Cui Xue's words, these seven companions might not have died.
Tong Yue's face was pale, and his heart was unhappy. He glanced around and saw that there were only seventeen in all. A team of thirty people, even if seven people were burned to death by lightning fire, there should be twenty-three people. In other words, there are still six people who were scattered by the thunder and have not yet returned to the team.
Cui Xue didn't say a word, he could see his hostility towards him from Tong Yue's eyes. Tong Yue is the leader of the rangers, if his opinions are always more correct than him, then wouldn't he be a great merit? Cui Xue is not a pedantic person, he doesn't want to challenge Tong Yue's position head-on, so he just silently influences his friend Lao Ji. As long as Lao Ji's life is saved, it is more important than anything else. Because three months ago, it was Lao Ji who saved himself.
It's a strange world with a thousand strange creatures. Without Lao Ji, Cui Xue doesn't think he can live well. However, Cui Xue didn't think that he needed the entire ranger team, let alone Tong Yue. Therefore, when Cui Xue saw the resentful look in Tong Yue's eyes again, he had already made up his mind and was ready to leave this ranger team.
Lacking sophisticated weapons, no base, no good tactics, and no wise leaders, the rangers are bound to die out quickly in this cruel world. Cui Xue is not afraid of death, but he doesn't want to die like this, he has a stronger ** to survive than anyone else, so he survived. Survived in a whole new world.
"May the gods bless them!" someone prayed.
"Let's hurry up, the forest after the rain is the most dangerous forest. Trolls love the damp air like this. Someone nervously proposed.
Cui Xue secretly thought: "There are still six companions who have not yet returned, if you leave now, won't you leave them behind?" It will take a day to cross this forest, and it is getting late at this moment, so you must spend the night in the forest, and it is difficult to spend the long night in the forest safely without enough manpower. This is what Lao Ji told Cui Xue, and Cui Xue believed in Lao Ji's experience. Originally, Cui Xue was opposed to entering the forest at this moment, but Tong Yue was the leader.
Tong Yue was not an inexperienced reckless man, but he really wanted to rush to Linzi as soon as possible, and then exchange the goblin's teeth for a bounty, so he chose to take a risk. I didn't expect to encounter a thunderstorm, not to mention the loss of manpower, and it was a lot of time. The double blow made Tong Yue extremely annoyed, looking at his lazy and hesitant subordinates, Tong Yue finally became angry: "You bastards, you are not on the road yet, are you going to let the trolls disembowel you and dismantle you?"
The rangers were drunk by Tong Yue, and they all began to follow Tong Yue forward.
Cui Xue frowned: "Isn't Linzi in the north? Why are we going northeast?" ”
Lao Ji was stunned when he heard this: "Tongyue is the best at discerning the direction, and he won't be wrong." "Lao Ji is right, Tong Yue's ability to distinguish the direction has indeed been outstanding along the way, and every time it is consistent with the direction indicated by the compass on Cui Xue's wrist, and it is precisely because of this that Cui Xue has determined that the magnetic field in this world is consistent with the earth. It is precisely because of this that Cui Xue determined that Tong Yue was wrong this time.
"If you keep walking in this direction, you will definitely not be able to reach Linzi. Cui Xue said in a low voice, not knowing what he was planning in his heart.
Lao Ji has been following Tongyue for five years, and he believes in Tongyue. But I don't know why, at this moment, he is more willing to believe Cui Xue in his heart.
After walking forward for about a mile in the mountains, Cui Xue felt more and more that something was wrong. He had only been in this team of rangers for three months, and he was not intimidated by the authority of Tongyue, and more importantly, he was educated so that he was not superstitious about anything, anyone.
"Lao Ji, this direction is wrong, we can't go any further!" This time, Cui Xue's voice was a little louder than before, and even Jack heard it.
Jack had been following Tongyue for three years, but this was the first time he had come to this forest. Because of the high risk, the Ranger's team is very unstable, and often loses a lot due to encounters, so there is an average of one major blood change every two to three years. Both Jack and Lao Ji joined Tongyue's troops from other ranger units. Like everyone else, they admired Tong Yue's methods and experience, but Cui Xue was an outlier.
Jack's temperament was relatively straightforward, so he couldn't help but shout, "Commander, are you in the wrong direction?"
Tong Yue turned his head to look at Jack in annoyance, and shouted, "Bastard, when did I not even recognize the road?"
Jack shrugged his shoulders on horseback: "Cui Xue said that you are now traveling in the northeast direction, which is quite off. ”
Cui Xue sighed in his heart, greeted Jack's eighteenth generation ancestors, and said in his heart: You Jack, is this really stupid or pretending to be stupid, this is the real two, or is it really two!
Tong Yue was even more annoyed when he heard Cui Xue's name. Ever since Lao Ji rescued this young man privately three months ago, this young man has become an extremely unstable factor in the team. His novel and outlandish remarks, which he did not know where to learn, have had an indescribable and subtle impact on everyone.
"It's Cui Xue again!" Tong Yue muttered, unable to hold back his anger anymore, and roared: "Cui Xue, why do you say that I am in the wrong direction?"
The rangers looked nervous, and everyone knew Tong Yue's strength and temper.
To everyone's expectation, Cui Xue was not afraid, but straightened up on horseback and said, "I have a treasure made by the elves here, and the treasure indicates that that that there is due north!" He couldn't say that it was a compass he had brought from another world, so he pretended to be an elf.
Elves have spells, this is something that the entire continent knows, and as soon as Cui Xue said this, the rangers believed it a little. Especially since Cui Xue joined the rangers, almost every judgment is correct, so everyone does not doubt that Cui Xue may have treasures.
"The place where the canopy is lush is the south, and the opposite direction of the south is naturally the north!" Tong Yue's face was gloomy, although he was angry, it was inconvenient to attack immediately.
When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized that there was still this method that could be used to identify the direction, and it seemed that Tongyue really had a set.
Cui Xue shook his head and thought to himself: This is common knowledge that five-year-old children know, but people in this world know very little about science, so it's no wonder they react like this. So he continued: "The canopy of the trees is sunny, and it is true that it is easier to flourish in the south. But the growth of the canopy is also related to the topography and wind. This grove is surrounded by mountains that shade the sun, so the canopy does not grow due south. If you're so inflexible, you're wrong. This is called dogmatism!"
"What isms, what things?" Lao Ji beside him was choked by Cui Xue's last sentence, and secretly thought: "When is it, the kid is still poor." Don't you know Tong Yue's temper?"
