Chapter 120: The Man Who Disappeared
After witnessing the miraculous dawn, the crew of the contender team seemed to have forgotten something.
Sleepy-eyed and somewhat tired, they emerged from their tents and began to execute the first steps of the team's exploration.
First, find a place with a relatively high terrain area as a rallying point, and then the team will split up.
It's like a stick that sticks into the map and then blooms from the sharp corners of a hexagon, which maximizes efficiency, but doesn't take into account safety and terrain, and simply pursues progress.
Next is what Ke Li is looking forward to the most: how will the other people react when the ordinary people in the team become Zerg? Will they scream and get into trouble, expecting someone to stab their souls with the Blade of Hell?
It's a pity that when Ke Li sneaked around after breakfast, he found that the gang was pulling his crotch beyond imagination.
They didn't even realize that there were fewer people in the team, they only said that someone was sick and had a fever last night, and they didn't see them when they got up this morning, and they should have recovered after taking herbs, or they had gone back to the boat to be lazy.
Because the fleet is berthed closer, with the insight of the extraordinary, if you can't even find this anomaly, if you continue to play sooner or later, you will have to play to death sooner or later, it is better to pat your ass and go home early.
That is, they know, but they don't say it, they don't know it.
In the fleet, on the leading ship, the team in charge finally appeared:
"The treasures of the age of gods and dragons, the secret that has made many people crazy, countless people want to get the inheritance of it, but there are very few people who really have tickets."
"If you can see the miracles in the mists of history, you will die a well-deserved death."
"We'll come back later, the alienated will definitely wait for the others to leave before they come out of the ground."
"Watch their movements, if they decide to infiltrate the team and continue to alienate others, we must clean them up, or our progress will be delayed indefinitely."
"I don't know where those guys went, I didn't see where they parked the boat, they can't just carry the boat on their shoulders and keep going, right?"
"There is no clear entrance and exit to the fog of history, as long as it is within range, it can be activated, rather than worrying that they will move too fast and leave early with the treasure, it is better to hurry up and do our own thing."
"Speaking of which, after they came in early, due to the unequal time between inside and outside, could it be that they have been active here for several years? And we've just come here, and all we see are these traces of felling?"
"I don't know, but the token in our hands is the same as theirs, and we have already chased after it with all our might, and they must have received the news before they set off in a hurry, and there is only one boat."
"In terms of numbers, we definitely have an absolute advantage, but it's a pity that we can't place the crew around them, and if we don't have the idea anchor to peep, there is no way to grasp their course of action."
Korley retracted his gaze and quickly shuttled through the Purgatory Walk, returning to the harbor camp to explain the notice.
Everyone defaults to the observation state, and the competitors are let out first.
After that, the head of the competitor said the same.
People infected by anomalous phenomena did not actually leave, but hid underground when it was dark.
After the other teams received the order to explore from the assembly point, the insects who were hiding underground came out.
Well, at least they look like human beings at the moment, but they're dressed in a weird way, like a mummy covered in spider silk and silk.
The first infected patient has become a strange shape like a silkworm cocoon backpack, and is carried on the back of this "silk cocoon man".
The two seem to be one, but it should be a third person who really controls and dominates the body, that is, the Zerg themselves, some kind of special will that originates from the nest.
After these silk cocoons crawled out, their movements were similar to ordinary people, patting the dust and putting on their clothes, covering themselves tightly.
After all the cocoons in the camp had crawled out, they discussed each other for a while, and finally picked a route that avoided both the investigation team's route and some of the dragonmen's appearances.
"It seems that they are not ignorant of the status quo, and they start acting as soon as they wake up."
"Maybe they've gained the knowledge and memories of the crew by occupying and parasitizing, so they're camouflaging?"
"It's just a few trash fish, don't worry about so much, as long as we mark them and anchor them with extraordinary characteristics, whether they are hidden or hidden, they can't escape our observation and lock."
After the leader of the competitors set off, this end of the harbor camp unexpectedly welcomed the scouts of the dragon people.
It's a guy with a yellow belly and black scales, and although it's difficult for a dragonman of this size to sneak around, his scales are really good for camouflage in the jungle after being covered with camouflage paint.
Seeing the dragonmen appear, Flanders took the initiative to appear and walked out of the cave, took the book and slowly translated, "Oh, hello, is there anything to do with visiting our humble camp? Or do you want to trade with us?"
This is a very false statement, because there is nothing on the other party that can be traded except for the coarse cloth skirt and the hemp rope used to tie the weapon.
The Dragonman scout looked Flanders up and down, sniffing around, "It's nothing, excuse me, you didn't bring the bugs."
Then he turned around fluently, his tail flicking a circular arc behind him, and then he suddenly appeared and left.
Flanders looked at the place where the Dragonman scouts had left, and after a moment returned and said:
"They didn't have enough favorability, they didn't take the initiative to invite us to a celebration of the temple ruins, but they didn't express hostility, they just came over to make sure, thought we were not in the same group as the gang, and left."
Colley: "What now? The other party is not as particular as us, as soon as they come up, they will take people's lives to open the way and attack directly, if we have been staying in the harbor camp, they may take the initiative."
Enzo: "No, although the dragons don't think the dwarves are a threat, they will definitely reject the foreigners, don't think that if you invite them to eat a few delicious meals, they will accept you from the bottom of their hearts and treat you as an iron buddy."
"They will only think that it is an offering of the dwarves, and that it is what the dwarves should do when they please others, and as for whether to take care of you or not, it depends on their mood."
"If you want to really increase your prestige, you have to reach out to the strong and leaders of their tribes, do something for them, and then the attitude of their leaders will influence the attitudes of the rest of the tribes, and then we will be accepted."
"Unless their leader wants to see us by name, it's better not to get closer, the traditional culture of the foreign race is difficult for the dwarves to get used to."
"For example, in some villages, foreigners are not allowed to wear clothes, foreigners with hair are not allowed to enter, and then they will dig a pit for your personal property and sell it far away in the wilderness, and then give you a treasure map for you to dig up yourself."
"If you don't say yes, the mischievous ones get angry, and sometimes I suspect they're baboons made up of orangutans and monkeys. In short, don't have any unrealistic expectations of the customs of foreign people."
After hearing this, Colley smiled and said, "Well, I probably know why the camp is so important."
"Because this is the territory we have circled, we have taken this place."
