Chapter 11: Horror Lizard!
"Brother Jiang Ye, how long do you say it will take to get to the East Pole Mountain? Why didn't the Sprinkle family even see a mountain hair? ”
This is a team of more than 100 people, who have been walking in the desert for half a month, although there is not much fatigue on everyone's faces, but the scorching sun above their heads still makes everyone upset.
Lu San reached out and touched his round bald head at this time, and he felt a little hot.
"Come on, they said it's only more than half a month in total, and it shouldn't be far away."
Although Jiang Ye said this, there was still an endless yellow desert in front of him, and he was also a little suspicious.
Here, too, he has long been lost.
Everyone did not dare to use the means of transportation, because everyone knew very well that in this desert, the noise of the means of transportation would only make everyone the target of the insects and beasts in the desert.
And as far as Jiang Ye knew, there were at least ten kinds of insect beasts that could easily destroy their team, not counting those unknown existences that he didn't know.
Moreover, this journey has not been smooth.
Although the battle did not take long, there were still three people with a combat strength of about 60 who died under the sharp teeth of the fire ants, and two more were injured by the formic acid of the fire ants and had to withdraw from the team to go back for treatment.
Then there is the continuous sneak attack of worms shuttling underground, with a combat strength of about 100, killing two people; Specially appeared at night, the harassment of a large group of rats with a combat strength of about sixty, and three people died.
Even Lu San almost died in a battle of the neck rat, if it weren't for Jiang Ye's crisis to throw the war knife and split the neck rat in half in an instant, it would be difficult for Lu San to stand here today.
It was also since then that Lu San knew that Jiang Ye, who had always been in poor physical condition in his eyes, had a combat strength of more than 100.
If you want to kill the neck rat in seconds, the combat strength must be more than fifty years apart.
As he moved further into the desert, all kinds of insects and beasts emerged one after another, and many Jiang Ye had never seen them. When the team reached this point, no less than 20 people had died.
Not long after, a voice suddenly came from the front of the team, "Everyone, pay attention, the Komodo lizard is in front of it, pass through it, and walk a short distance to the East Pole Mountain." ”
Walking in the front were the four young men standing behind Zhang Hanting in the hall of the Jinchuan Martial Arts Hall. All four of them had been to Dongji Mountain, and this time Zhang Hanting sent them to be the guides.
The man who had just spoken was one of the four, and he was actually directing the direction along the way.
"Komodo lizards?" The few people in the team were shocked, "The Komodo lizard is actually in this place?" ”
And many more people, including Jiang Ye and Lu San, have not even heard the name of the Komodo lizard.
"Can't you get around it?" One of the people standing beside him frowned and asked.
The person who was questioned Jiang Ye knew, named Zhou Quan, was the person with the highest combat effectiveness in the team, 162. In the past battles, he performed the best, and according to the person next to him, all of this person's equipment was a white-level legend.
The man shook his head, "No, this is the only way, East Pole Mountain, it's on the right diagonal side of this area, you have to cross it." ”
After Zhou Quan heard this, his brows furrowed even deeper.
"What's wrong, Brother Zhou? Is this Komodo lizard powerful? ”
A person next to Zhou Quan noticed his strange appearance and felt that something was wrong, after walking for so long, he had never seen Zhou Quan's expression.
In the past, when he encountered insects and beasts, he never paid attention to them this week.
"Awesome? It's amazing! The minimum combat power of the Komodo lizard is above 150, especially strong and ferocious, and the combat power can reach as much as 200, and it alone can sweep our team of more than 100 people. ”
Zhou Quan's voice was not loud, but it still made Jiang Ye and Lu San, who were not far away, hear it clearly.
"The minimum combat effectiveness is above 150." Lu San looked stunned, "If the Sprinkle family is unfortunate enough to meet, they will be killed in seconds before they can do it." ”
Jiang Ye was also in his heart, "At least 150, and maybe 200, if it were me, it might be killed in seconds, but I don't know what the agility of this Komodo lizard is?" If I'm over 17, there's no way I'm going to escape. ”
This time, the combat effectiveness of this team of more than 100 people was tied at about 90, the highest was Zhou Quan, 162, and the lowest was only 53.
The reward for this mission is not low, and everyone shares 10 million federal coins equally, that is, each person can get almost 90,000 federal coins.
There are also those who complete the final task, and they can exclusively enjoy the heaven-level low-grade martial art "Flame Slash", which is worth at least more than one million Federation Coins.
But the pay is not low, and it is only relative to some people. This reward is not enough to touch the hearts of those with higher combat effectiveness.
At least among the people who came this time, not to mention 200 combat power, even those with more than 180 combat strength did not come.
After all, among the people who can achieve such a high combat effectiveness, how many of them don't have heaven-level martial arts protection? Even if you don't, you can sell and buy familiar insects and beasts for the past few months, so why go to the unknown East Pole Mountain to catch an East Pole fox?
Unknown mountains, with the table is the unknown danger.
Zhou Quan's next words made everyone's hearts sink even more, "Moreover, the most important thing is that this Komodo lizard is a social animal, or it will appear, or it will be seven or eight or even more when it encounters it." ”
"Seven or eight, doesn't that mean that as soon as we touch a Komodo lizard, we'll be dead?" One of the crowd said in fear.
"That's it, how can you go to the East Pole Mountain, your Tsugawa Martial Arts Hall is too unkind, you know that there is such a situation and don't tell us in advance, you just said that there is danger in the East Pole Mountain, and you didn't say that there is also danger in this desert, right? If we had known this situation, we wouldn't have come. ”
One person targeted the Tsugawa Martial Arts. In fact, this man came with a few friends, but two of them had already died on the way here, and he was a little angry.
"Yes, yes, this brother is right." Immediately, many people chimed in.
Jiang Ye on the side didn't speak, just watched this farce coldly. In his heart, this area must be crossed, and he doesn't even dare to take risks, so how can he become a strong man?
Besides, these four leaders of the Tsugawa Martial Arts Hall dare to risk their lives, so why can't they?
"That's bullshit!"
Lu San, who was standing on the side, looked at the group of people shouting with disdain, and whispered to Jiang Ye, "Who doesn't know that this desert is full of dangers, and there is a possibility of death at any time." The Sprinkle family didn't believe that they wouldn't know when they came, and now they only said this when they encountered this matter, why did they go earlier? ”
The four people of the Tsukawa Martial Arts Hall who led the way also saw that everyone was more emotional, but they didn't explain, and the leader said coldly, "Don't shout, if you are dissatisfied, go back and tell my hall master, a few of us are only responsible for leading the way." If anyone wants to go, follow me, and if they don't want to go, stay here and wait for us to come back, or walk back on their own. ”
"Hey, what are you talking about?" One of them shouted discontentedly.
However, no one paid attention to him this time, and the leader had already taken steps and walked slowly forward, and the other three people from the Tsugawa Martial Arts Hall followed.
"Brother Zhou, did you say we should still go? This Komodo lizard is too scary, isn't it? A person next to Zhou Quan asked. The meaning is obvious, he doesn't want to go.
"Go, why don't you go, the "Flame Slash" of the Tsugawa Martial Arts Hall, I am bound to win. Zhou Quan's expression changed for a while, and after hesitating for a moment, he walked forward.
Seeing this, the man next to him also gritted his teeth and quickly followed.
"Let's go, too."
As soon as Jiang Ye heard Lu San say that, he knew that he would definitely go, so he said to Lu San and resolutely took a step.
Subsequently, quite a few people followed. But in the end, more than two dozen people stayed behind and prepared to return the way they came.
In this way, there are less than a hundred people left in this team.
Five days later.
The group was lying on a golden sand dune, lying on their backs or on their backs, their eyes full of exhaustion.
"It's finally out, and this is the first time that the Sprinkle family hasn't closed their eyes for five days in a row." Lu San was lying beside Jiang Ye, his eyes already narrowed.
"It's all the same." Jiang Ye also sighed.
In the past five days, everyone's mind has been highly nervous, and they have always been vigilant, and they dare not relax at all. Everyone knows that the slightest mistake will cause the Komodo lizard to notice.
And there is only one consequence, all of them will be buried here.
However, everyone was lucky that they did not see a single Komodo lizard along the way.
The leader of the Tsukawa Martial Arts Hall had obviously studied the Komodo lizards, and when he saw the droppings on the desert, he knew where the Komodo lizards would be, so he bypassed them and passed through the other side.
The Komodo lizard's vision range is about 100 meters, and it mainly relies on its sense of smell to detect the direction of distant enemies, and the leader of the way at the beginning smeared the crowd with a scent, which is just right to mislead its judgment.
That's the real reason why the four of them dared to come here.
But even so, everyone did not dare to be careless. Under the command of the leader of the way, he ran wildly when it was time to walk, held his breath when he should be still, walked and stopped, day and night, and finally passed this area in five days.
"Let's take a good rest and replenish some energy. This place should be safe, after all, at the border of the area controlled by the Komodo lizard, no insect beast dares to come over. Let's set off in the evening, and by this time tomorrow, we will be able to see Dongji Mountain. ”
The leader of the Tsugawa Martial Arts Pavilion was clearly confident in his experience of surviving in the desert, and was obviously extremely sleepy, and after saying this, he fell headlong on the golden sand dunes.
Jiang Ye's spirit is 17, which is higher than anyone here, including Zhou Quan, who has the highest combat power. Lu San is only 4, less than a quarter of Jiang Ye's.
Jiang Ye was actually not too sleepy, he kept his eyes open and was not ready to sleep. He didn't believe that there was any absolutely safe place in the desert, and the best way to survive was to be vigilant at all times.
And there are five or six people who think the same way.
