Chapter 63 - A Righteous Spirit
The day after Zhou Xinyi and the others brought back Changbai, the rakugo people issued a notice to all the inheritors that the light curtain was coming.
Of course, this notification is neither in the form of a bat nor a text message.
The heirs have created a secret web page with a large number of posts posted by the heirs in their idleness, and an unobtrusive link in the lower right corner of the page contains rakugo information for the heirs.
It is not difficult to enter the website, as long as you enter the correct URL, any normal model of computer can log in.
But few heirs will reveal the URL to the outside world, after all, rakugo's information is the lifeblood of the entire heir, and no one will risk it even if they come up with a high profit.
This time, the heirs still arrived at the nearest settlement as before, waiting for the light curtain to fall.
Zhou Xinyi and the others went to the tree hole this time, Changbai followed him and walked in leisurely, and the inheritors in the settlement glanced at it with some novelty, and then they all looked away and continued to do their own things.
Zhou Xinyi's reaction to them was not surprising, they themselves were inheritors, they knew each other, they had seen all kinds of strange methods, what was there to be surprised about with a dragon?
Even so, he put on a mask and disguised himself as a trainer.
Jiang Yi and Brandy entered at different times, and they spent their last time checking the backpacks and supplies, and finally saw a spot of light reflected on the top of the tree hole, which was the epitome of the spot in reality.
When the image of the light spot is projected in the settlement, it means that the light spot outside has reached the moment when it is about to bloom.
Sure enough, the light spot bloomed in front of their eyes, becoming an extremely dazzling light, and everyone's eyes were filled with abundant white, and when they regained their vision, Zhou Xinyi was already in a strange land.
As far as the eye can see, there is a dim yellow Gobi, and there is still a trace of green visible in the desert, and in addition to the yellow stone layer and red sand, this Gobi is a stone wall on the verge of collapse.
Zhou Xinyi looked around, and there was not a single building around.
People always feel uneasy when they arrive in an unfamiliar environment, not to mention such a place where birds don't, and the first question he has when he arrives here is not how to obtain benefits, but how to survive.
That's right, this barren terrain even gave Zhou Xinyi the illusion that "he will starve to death".
Zhou Xinyi was observing the terrain, and Changbai beside him was suddenly frightened, and flapped his wings and jumped onto Zhou Xinyi's shoulder.
"What's wrong?"
He looked at the ground where Changbai had been, and a flat worm the size of a palm was wriggling, and a slender barb grew from the tip of the worm, tentatively stabbing at the ground around him, and he easily plunged into the hard rock formation.
Purple pus was pouring out of the hole in the rock formation, and it was clear that it was a highly venomous worm.
Just now, Changbai flew off the ground when he saw this thing, and the instinct of the creature told it that even a nightmare would not feel good if it was pierced by this thing.
Zhou Xinyi took out the pen and ejected the blade of the knife, stabbing at the poisonous insect.
Purple blood erupts from the poisonous insect's body, corroding the surrounding ground.
The venom that this poisonous insect just spat out turned out to be its blood, which is really dangerous......
He pulled out the blade, but fortunately the blade of the pen was made of special fine iron, so it was not damaged.
There is a possibility of one such poisonous insect crawling everywhere on the ground, and it is impossible for the leather boots to defend against their stingers, and it seems that every next step must be taken care of.
"Changbai, you fly to the sky and observe where there are buildings around."
After so many days of getting along, although Changbai can't understand human language, he can do it with simple communication, not to mention that even if he doesn't have Zhou Xinyi's instructions, with the instinct of Nightmare, he also knows what to do next.
Changbai flew up from Zhou Xinyi's shoulder, and there was only the shadow of Changbai and a flying dragon in the entire blue sky, Zhou Xinyi looked at this scene and felt a little strange intuitively.
What's wrong?
Looking at the vast sky, Zhou Xinyi suddenly realized that there was not a single bird here!
"Changbai, come down!"
Changbai heard his call and was about to land, when more than a dozen stout giant insects suddenly stretched out from the surrounding stone formations, with fangs sticking out of the tips, and pounced towards Changbai in a predatory posture!
Changbai let out an angry groan when he saw this, but the giant insects were not affected in the slightest, and it could only roll in the air for a week, while landing towards the ground without stopping.
Zhou Xinyi pulled out Wen Yan and fired a shot at the giant insect closest to Changbai, the powerful Wen Yan shot the giant insect in half, and the sound of the gun slowed the movements of the other giant insects for a second, and Changbai narrowly escaped the catastrophe.
Seeing Changbai return to his side, Zhou Xinyi covered his heart, "Those giant insects are not mammals, your cry will not work on them, but I am about to be called out of a heart attack by you." ”
Changbai whimpered rebelliously.
At the same time, Zhou Xinyi also found that although those giant insects were not afraid of the nightmare's groan, they were afraid of the sudden gunshots.
It turned out that those giant insects specialized in preying on high-altitude creatures, so there would be no half of a bird passing by.
"Did you see anything when you flew into the sky?"
Changbai's head arched in one direction.
Zhou Xinyi couldn't understand the language, so he couldn't figure out what Changbai saw over there, and it wasn't until he walked for a while that he realized that it was a human brigade.
Saying that it is a brigade, in fact, no normal person will come to this kind of dangerous terrain full of lone insects, Zhou Xinyi saw that they were holding guns, their eyes were vigilant, and they realized that this should be an exploration detachment.
The two teams saw each other from a distance, and the explorer with binoculars in hand was surprised, "That's ...... A human? He's got a nightmare on his side! Nightmare! ”
"What?" The man who seemed to be the captain exclaimed, "How can a human be with a nightmare? Are you sure you see clearly? ”
The screams of the nightmare can arrest the hearts of humans, and the creature itself is even more diurnal and nocturnal, brutal and ferocious, humans and nightmares walking together, is that dead?
"It's true, Captain," said the team member with the binoculars, "the man is wearing a mask, about 1.9 meters tall, and the nightmare is standing on his shoulder!" ”
"Hell," the captain scolded, "change your route now, and don't meet the nightmare in front of you!" ”
There are dozens of people in this team, divided into five echelons, the captain and this team member are in the first echelon, most of the people in the first echelon are well-informed and knowledgeable veterans, they are responsible for controlling the speed and direction of the entire team, avoiding possible dangers.
As long as they change their route, the people in the next four echelons will also follow together, and they will never cause any trouble.
After I changed the route of the team, I walked for a while, and the team member who was in charge of observing the movement around me suddenly said, "Captain, they have also turned!" ”
"Where are they going...... Right against our third echelon! ”
The captain's heart tightened.
Their exploration period is extremely long, so although they are an exploration team, they are also a survival team in the wild. The situation inside the city is not much better than outside the city, so many women and teenagers have volunteered to join the exploration team or go with them.
Therefore, the second echelon of exploration is the team members who are armed with weapons and are good at fighting, while the third echelon includes the family members of those team members, their partners, and many people who know how to make maps and are proficient in the field, but are not good at dealing with danger.
A Nightmare broke into the third echelon...... It's worse than hitting it head-on.
"Captain, what should I do?"
"Is that guy determined to run into our team?"
"Captain, I'm afraid so."
The captain's heart sank, and he said solemnly, "Inform the second echelon to be vigilant, and we will meet it head-on." ”
At the same time, Zhou Xinyi also noticed the determination of those people.
It wasn't that he had to disturb the explorers, but they were indeed the first humans Zhou Xinyi encountered in this light curtain.
If you don't seize this opportunity, I'm afraid you'll be lost in this wasteland.
Zhou Xinyi was finally less than a hundred meters away from the exploration team, and the other party raised his gun and shouted vigilantly, "Who are you?" Why close to our team! ”
Zhou Xinyi did not disarm himself, but also raised the muzzle of Wen Yan's gun, in this dangerous situation, not sure of the other party's origin, showing his strength is the most important thing.
"Please don't be afraid, I'm just a traveler, and I have no ill will towards the exploration team!"
"It's just that I'm lost in this area, can you give me a ride?"
The giant insect that lives here preys on flying creatures, and although it has an airmare, it cannot take advantage of its flight in this terrain.
Coupled with the difficulty of orienting, it is not uncommon to get lost in this area.
But the team wouldn't easily believe his words, "If you kill this Nightmare, we might think about it!" ”
Zhou Xinyi shouted firmly, "Impossible, it is my important companion, and it has been by our side since birth, it has no malice towards humans, and its cry will not hurt you!" ”
In fact, Changbai has only broken the shell for a few days, Zhou Xinyi thought.
He patted Changbai's head, "In order to show your kindness to the uncle in front, Changbai, scream!" ”
Changbai called out very cooperatively.
But the explorers covered their ears in horror when they saw Changbai open his mouth, for fear that they would be killed on the spot.
Zhou Xinyi smiled, "Look, it's okay!" ”
"Get out! Get lost! ”
The captain scolded angrily, "Don't make such jokes! Take your nightmare with you, and don't come near us again! ”
Zhou Xinyi sighed in his heart, this group of exploration teams is really cautious, since this is the case, he can only use a killer weapon.
He took off the dark black mask on his face with crimson stripes.
The moment the mask was taken off, the captain of the exploration team could feel the change in Zhou Xinyi's aura from afar.
This...... It's just a righteous spirit!
