Chapter 115: Increased Stress

At dawn, it was a calm and uneventful night.

Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, it's impossible to stay mentally focused.

Mary was the first to show laziness and fatigue, although her expression was very slight, and she did not complain like an ignorant child, but Colli saw that it was indeed her who was the first to go wrong.

Mary is eager to communicate with the Dragons and gather more information in the shortest possible time, while Flender wants to insist on the steady development of the team and put on a battle that can drag on the time indefinitely.

For Flanders, it is good to develop and build quietly, and the preparations he made before his departure must be meaningful.

But for Mary, the peaceful routine became difficult, and she seemed to gradually forget her preparations, and her own subjective investigative ideas gradually took over, and at one point she came up with a reckless plan to act alone.

In the end, it was Ke Li who took action and forcibly used the gem card sleeve and the topics related to the Tower Path to reverse her mental state and take control into her own hands.

Otherwise, if she was bewitched by something and had to do something stupid alone, Ke Li's plan would go wrong.

"I'll pay it back, this time because of the urgency, so I went to buy supplies......" Mary awkwardly explained the cause and effect, because she didn't know how long Corrie would be back, so the money plan was very haphazard.

Colley is no longer as compromising and easy-going as before, and puts on a skeptical attitude:

"Really? Well, I'll remember that from you."

"You'd better just say the same excuse once, or you'll fool me with the same excuse next time, or if there's no progress at all in intelligence, and I'll suspect that you've been bought by someone else."

Mary was sweating profusely when she was told about it, and now her strange little thoughts were gone, and Colley began to take the initiative in the ecological niche.

"It's simple and crude, but it works." Originally, Flanders and Enzo were still discussing countermeasures, but when they saw that Colley was holding Mary to death, they didn't have to bother to persuade them.

So Colly began to pick and choose, took out various drawings made by Mary, and began to proofread his own research records:

"Mary, it's been more than half a month, and I checked it today, only to find out that there is something wrong with your drawing?"

"What, but I've been careful with maps and the flora and fauna I've discovered." Mary was a little aggrieved and a little frightened, so she quickly sat down at the table and listened to Corier's judgment and fate.

Ke Li shook his head: "No, not at all, I thought at first that you were just drawing a sketch and making a sketch, but after such a long time, there are still so many details missing, I think something is wrong with your thinking."

"Huh?" Mary was stunned.

Colley tapped the board with his index finger and said mercilessly to the drawing, "The map in the fog of history, the most important thing is the route and the terrain, although your compositional brushwork is beautiful, but in terms of practicality, it is poor."

"Do you think it's as difficult to wander around the beach as to patrol the sand and chop vines through the jungle?"

"Do you think that the view in the mountains and hills is a distance from the low-lying areas?"

"If I were to do it instead, I would measure in detail how big the beach area is, and whether the area can be normalized into a hexagonal and octagonal grid diagram, giving us an estimate of the safe sight distance and the approximate time it will take to move from a distance."

"You only have beautiful graphics here, and you don't have detailed notes, and Flanders says that to standardize the expedition, it seems to me that it needs to be formulaic, processed, and as precise and the same as the number of facets of each gem."

"And you, you've been all over the secrets of the Dragonmen lately, and you're mainly trying to paint the various structures and details of the Dragonmen, and you want to explore the magical ancient creatures, and your performance in your job seems worrying."

"Don't wait for someone else to sneak in and then accidentally meet us and find out that we're not as good as theirs."

Colli's serial attack,

With the noble Party A sprayed Mary can't find the north.

Especially after Colley had finished his illustrative drawings, Mary had to start redrawing them.

"I'm sorry, give me a week, and I'll definitely get this done again."

"The amount of pen and paper is a bit of a problem, so I'll probably have to think it through before I start."

That's right, in this hellish place far from modern society, even the amount of paper is limited.

If you keep using it over and over again, you may run out of paper to write on after a while.

However, Colly hoarded too many goods, and seeing that Mary also realized her problem, she did not add a follow-up attack.

While Mary was doing her business alone, Flanders came up and said, "You seem to be in good shape, and the hidden curses and whispers have not affected you."

That's because the extraordinary properties at hand are just restrained, and those gradual erosions and disturbances have no effect on Colley.

"I've grown a lot since I've been promoted, and those illusions of pretending to be ghosts are nothing in front of real demons, so I might as well deal with them myself," Colley said.

"What about you? How long do you plan to make your plans and tasks public, the tight-lipped expedition leader?"

Flanders was a little surprised, and then said, "It's like the cliché story of a hero saving the day, we need to wait for the right moment before we can take the initiative."

"If my guess is correct, it will take a month at most for those who are prepared to rush here to explore, and we have a solid camp and a leading sense of resistance, which will leave a stable and stable appearance for the dragons."

"At first, I really planned to explore it myself and make steady progress. But after the spoilers, I think it's better to rely on them to explore the danger zone than to get hurt and bleed ourselves, you say?"

Ke Li rubbed the dust and sweat on his chin and said, "It's okay, the free shield doesn't have to be used in vain, but it's a pity that their movements are really slow."

Enzo leaned over and whispered, "It's okay, it's all necessary, if I say that if we have a chance to get back to Camp Harbor and escape the trouble right away, will you think it's worth all the hard work?"

Flanders spread his hands: "Enzo, don't reveal those hole cards, we need to be patient and determined, you use up all your hole cards now, and then it will be troublesome to be caught by something."

It turns out that you have made preparations for teleportation or something, huh? However, this area of the Mist of History is so special, unlike the real material plane, which has strong world laws and conceptual constraints, and the teleportation ability is not surprising.

The more he investigated and stationed, the more Ke Li felt that there were many strange commonalities between Inception, the Gem Secret Realm, and the Fog of History, but there was no natural induction and correlation between these three, which made him feel very strange.

Thinking about the farthest arrangement, after a few years in the fog of history, and summing this node and cognitive concepts into the gem realm, then Ke Li can explore this area without limits, and he can teleport and stealth without restraint.

In this regard, it is also like some mysterious law of power slowly eroding the world of record.

However, when the two cities were united, it was quickly done, what is the key to missing here?

Ke Li felt that he was approaching the answer, but the answer did not pay attention to him at all, just like Inception, except for the flickering and light prompts at the beginning, and then it was as unresponsive as if the power was turned off, and he relied on his own brain to make up for exploration.

"Well, if they do get to this place within a month, I'll make you some good meals."

"Still, if there's a nasty troublemaker over there, I'd like you to keep me alive."

"For research."
