Chapter 23: Retreat

Since Ye Guangji subdued the wolf king, the eight of them traveled for several hours. The variety of evil beasts encountered became more and more powerful, and during this time, there were also scattered contractors who joined the team, and for many reasons they agreed to join.

However, because the team rhythm is steady and steady, the harvest still needs to be shared equally by everyone, and there is no rich harvest from being a lone ranger at all. All find excuses to leave, or go to a safe place to hunt weak and small beasts, or three or two people gather to act carefully, and run away if they are mobile and can't fight.

The previous exploration team of sixteen people existed in name only, and everyone tacitly went their own way. However, if someone encounters danger, they will still choose to support, after all, everyone is from the Xia country, and the death of someone is also the overall loss of the Xia people, and it will expose the fact that someone is out of the safe zone.

"Rest here for ten minutes and recuperate! Mitsuki asked the hound to be on guard, and everyone discussed. Liu Kuo put away the cheetah he had just hunted and called for everyone to rest in place.

This cheetah will have 5 skills, two of which are earth-based magic, which makes everyone quite embarrassed. Ye Guangji used the Lady of the Ave skill to heal the blood hole on the little black leg that was pierced by the earth thorns. Put away the blue vines guarded by the cheetah, and eat and rest with the crowd.

"It's been 10 hours in the forest, and a few people have already chosen to go back to safety." Liu Kuo paused, glanced at everyone's expressions, and continued: "Ah Wei has also reached level 10 (first order), and everyone's inventory is almost full, I want to go back together and digest the harvest and come back." ”

This is the second time that Liu Kuo has talked about withdrawing from the security zone, and Jiang Chunyu previously prevaricated that Hao Jiawei was about to reach his full level. Going deep into the forest, I found a lot of strange plants, and there was a blue berry that improved everyone's attributes a lot, and also strengthened the idea of continuing to go deeper.

"It makes sense, the beasts we're encountering now can already cause some trouble. I'm going back to the advanced world. Boost your strength and save experience for wasting levels. Ye Guangji naturally chose to support Liu Kuo's decision, and there was always a lingering sense of danger as he went deeper.

Da Bai and Xiao Hei are also the same as the three hunting dogs before, they are anxious and have a slight decrease in the execution of commands, otherwise they will not be stabbed by the cheetah's soil. Harvest is not important in life, and besides, the death inventory will be emptied, in case of any accidents, it will be empty!

"Since the inventory is almost full, how about going back when it's full?" Jiang Chunyu had a hippie smile, and his eyes were completely fascinated by the newly acquired blue grade items. Ignoring the anger on Liu Kuo's face.

What he said was completely an excuse, not to mention the tens of thousands of soul coins left by other Ye Guangji, all of which were used to open storage bars, which was enough to hold a few days' worth of loot!

The crowd is a loose whole, and the captain has decision-making power, but it cannot be said in a word. If one person in the room disagrees with the decision, it needs to be discussed. And the eight of them are too deep, and it is definitely not a matter for one or two people to go back safely.

Last time, only Jiang Chunyu and Zhong Xuegao clearly objected, and the rest remained neutral, but the attitude is still biased towards continuing to explore, and as the in-depth harvest increases, I believe it will not be difficult to find something of the blue grade again.

Zhong Xuegao, as the scout of the team, sat relatively far away, and his eyes scanned the surroundings to play the role of second-level reconnaissance. At this point, he didn't pay any attention to the conversation. Closed...... The slightly squinted eyes suddenly widened, and the pupils of the eyes trembled like grains of rice.

With a flick of his feet, he disappeared in place, and his figure appeared in a field where he had fought before, lying on the ground and taking out the corpse of a small beast, still observing something on the ground. Everyone's conversation was interrupted by Zhong Xuegao's behavior, and they all got up and gathered over.

"Brother, what's wrong, what do you think about going back?" Compared with Jiang Chunyu, who was fascinated by interests, Zhong Xuegao, who maintained a clear and rational mind, was relatively better dissuaded.

"Do you remember, someone in the group said that this forest is a living thing." Zhong Xuegao pointed to a section of tree roots below, and blood continued to drip from the wounds of the beast's corpse, falling on that inconspicuous section of tree roots, and being absorbed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Everyone's eyes flickered and no one spoke, this was a question that they subconsciously ignored. If it is certain that this vast forest is a living creature, no one dares to explore it. After all, like Jiang Chunyu, they were fascinated by the huge gains, and they became a little unscrupulous from being cautious at the beginning.

"Go back now, anyway!" Liu Kuo pursed his lips tightly, and his face was a little pale. If this forest were a living thing, it would definitely not be a good thing for them to go so deep.

"I agree! However, I would recommend changing the route and staggering the route from the time you came. Jiang Chunyu, who was in the eyes of the money, also reacted, but he still couldn't give up the craftsmanship in front of him.

Seeing the silence of the crowd, he pointed to the dark green leaves that could be seen everywhere and tried his best to persuade them. "If you look at the state of the leaves, and the system's assessment of the danger outside the safe zone, it shows that these things are extremely oppressive during the day. Besides, if it's sure that this is really a living thing, who of you here would have the courage to go so deep? ”

The strange things of the hounds, and how the beasts attack and do not destroy the trees, have all found a reason. They live by biological instincts, and they know that in the midst of a terrifying existence, they will naturally not be as presumptuous as the contractors.

Ye Guangji saw that everyone was a little deadlocked, and he also wanted to get out of here quickly, so he thought of a compromise solution. "Jiang Chunyu is right, we can follow the route when we came, we can not only gain but also be safer."

Seeing that everyone nodded in agreement, he smiled and persuaded: "It's not that we can't develop here, even if it's alive, it's wood, and if you advance it a little bit on the periphery, you can eat it all in the end." ”

The location of the safe zone is imprinted in the mind of the contractor like the coordinates, and the direction of the safe zone can be easily determined no matter where the contractor is.

The crowd shifted a distance of 300 meters to the left and ran at full speed in the direction of the safety zone. When I met a beast I had never seen, I lost the mind to collect information. Kill in a hurry and reap the harvest, and march without stopping.

"Stop!" Zhong Xuegao flashed in front of everyone, forcing everyone to stop their galloping footsteps.

"What's wrong?" Liu Kuo gasped and took advantage of the time he stopped to take a break. He believed that there was no emergency, and the other party would not cause more trouble in the current situation.

"There's a two-person hole in front of you. There are traces of spider webs at the entrance of the cave, and a large number of spider footprints. Do we want to investigate, this is the first time we have found traces of insects! Zhong Xuegao hesitated for a moment, but still gave all the findings and suggestions, he knew that it was more important to escape now, but this discovery was really important.

Insects are an important part of the biosphere, and this discovery is the correctness of the second positive science. There must be good things in the powerful beasts, and the previous wolves had a blue quality thunder attribute ore, but it was concealed by the four helpers. In order to confirm the law, Ye Guangji learned from the wolf king.

Everyone looked at each other and was quite entangled, the immediate interests and unknown dangers, this was really a difficult choice to choose.

"How far is it from the safe zone?"

"If you continue to travel for an hour, you still have about a third of the way left."

"There are a lot of small beasts around."

"I can barely see the safe zone!"

"The cave environment is small, and the terrain is favorable to us!"

……

Everyone analyzed the conditions in a gossipy, the advantages of this matter outweighed the disadvantages, and they could evacuate quickly if they couldn't do anything, and everyone decided to go into the hole to explore in combination with many factors.

According to the habits of spiders, Hao Jiawei stepped forward and rolled in the spider web. Soon, spiders the size of a millstone will emerge from the hole triggered by the spider web, and the number will continue to increase.

Fortunately, the spider level is not high, and a simple pistol headshot can be killed, and the spider has four pairs of scarlet round eyes, and the mouth with corrosive venom emits a sharp strange scream. Bleeding green blood with a strong corrosive effect is spilled under attack, and the durability of melee weapons is significantly reduced.

Ye Guangji's cane didn't have to worry about it, and the increasing experience of stick skills made him feel the coolness of soul coin upgrades. Spider carcasses were collected at first, and later they were burned on a small scale without affecting the trees.

When the number of hunts exceeds 100, the speed of spiders surging out decreases significantly, and there is a tendency to gradually stop. In the end, no spider dared to go out at all.

Bai Ling, Hao Jiawei, Jiang Chunyu, and Zhong Xuegao were not suitable for fighting in the cave, so they chose to stay behind to guard the entrance of the cave. The remaining four people advanced in the formation of the front two and the back two, and Ye Guangji took out the Desert Falcon to make a cameo appearance.

The walls of the cave are densely covered with cobwebs, which can be quite troublesome to travel. Dou Ziguang went down with a fireball technique, and the flames quickly burned towards the cave. Tang Yarou held the bright light equipment in front of her, and advanced on the ground with the residual temperature when the flames were extinguished.

"Be careful, there are plant roots on the cave walls, and it will minimize blood falling to the ground." The trees of the forest are extremely strong, and the spider's blood, which can corrode metal, can still absorb it all, and it is not affected by its corrosive nature.

"Well, let's move faster, damn it, I always feel cold when I look at these roots!" Tang Yarou couldn't help but shudder when she saw the dense tentacle-like roots under the light.

The four of them went hundreds of meters inward, and none of the spiders dared to resist, constantly being squeezed into the living space, and the hard spider legs crawled between them, making a sound of giggling and crying.

"There's a fork ahead!" In front of the four of them were two forks in the left and right intersections, and the four soldiers had to move forward in two ways, and Ye Guangji and Jiang Chunyu entered the fork on the left.

After walking more than ten meters away, it seemed that the spiders were forced into a desperate situation and frantically counterattacked the two. Ye Guangji relied on the Desert Falcon to shoot one by one, and Jiang Chunyu was responsible for lighting and quickly collecting the spider corpse.

The two quickly deal with the almost crazy spider and keep pushing inward.

"How many more! I've collected almost a hundred corpses! ”

"It's coming! I saw a big space in the back, and I guess it's almost the end! ”
