Chapter 217: Forest Fires
I'm afraid that Lin Beichen himself didn't expect that the fact that he simply and directly admitted would actually shroud the hearts of Bordeaux and others with a trace of gloom.
Although the scorpion had already guessed such a result in his heart, he couldn't help but be shocked after hearing Lin Beichen admit it himself.
"Looks like you're not going to let us get out of here alive this time!"
The corner of the scorpion's mouth hooked up a smile, which made Lin Beichen's heart feel a little unhappy.
On weekdays, in addition to comprehending the elemental power around him, Lin Beichen will also read some reconnaissance or some books in the army to improve his combat ability.
According to the method he perceived, Lin Beichen had already undergone countless evolutions in his mind, bringing his abilities and various possibilities into it, and he really couldn't imagine what reason the scorpion could escape now.
If there must be one, there are only two possibilities, the first is that the scorpion has more strength than itself, and after killing itself, it leaves here intact.
But in Lin Beichen's eyes, such a possibility is even less likely than looking for a needle in a haystack, if the scorpion really has such strength, he will not be a mercenary, even if he goes to be a mercenary, he will not let himself be entrenched in such a place.
If the first one may not exist, then only the second type of scorpion is left to inflict a wide range of attacks in the first place, creating a chance for itself to escape.
But when Lin Beichen walked in, he immediately looked around, although they all had so-called thermal weapons in their hands, they did not have the ability to kill and blast in a large area.
"Since you are also from the Dragon Kingdom, then I will tell you my name!"
The scorpion walked towards the box behind him as he spoke, and when he saw the scorpion's movement, Bordeaux's heart that was originally hanging instantly relaxed.
Although Bao Ruiduo and the others didn't know what was in the box, they had heard the scorpion mention that the box was the last way to retreat, and if there was no way to retreat in danger, this box could save their lives.
In the impression of Bordeaux and others, what the scorpion said had never been realized, so the impact of Lin Beichen's sudden appearance disappeared in an instant.
The change in the expressions on the faces of Bordeaux and others was seen by Lin Beichen, and Lin Beichen couldn't figure out what was in this box, which could make Bordeaux and others give up so much, and even the tension in their hearts was relieved.
But in the next second, before Lin Beichen could come back to his senses, a powerful explosion sounded from the tent, and then a fireball shot up into the sky, like a small missile exploding.
What happened in front of them was really unexpected by everyone, and no one expected that it would turn out to be such a result! At the same time, the members of the Dragon Army team, who were desperately running towards the scorpion base, immediately increased their speed after seeing the explosion.
The captain shouted desperately at his teammates.
"It should be that there is a problem on the base side, we must increase our speed, and we must not let that kid encounter danger!"
Hearing the captain's words, these team members were like being beaten with chicken blood, and they instantly swept away their tired state, and the whole person became extremely determined.
Although Lin Beichen showed some of his abilities in front of them, allowing them to put Lin Beichen and those supernatural beings in the same sequence, but in the eyes of everyone in the Dragon Army when he encountered danger, Lin Beichen was a citizen of the Dragon Kingdom and needed their protection.
When they arrived at the base, what appeared in front of them was a three-meter-deep pit, but Lin Beichen and the others in the base had already disappeared.
The captain's face showed an extremely sad expression, with Lin Beichen's powerful ability, in the eyes of the captain, it seemed that as long as the other party was given a certain amount of time, it would not be an exaggeration to grow up and definitely become the mainstay of the Dragon Army, and even become a pillar of the country.
But I was persuaded by the other party to let the other party perform such a dangerous task first! If Lin Beichen really sacrificed here, it would be a great loss for the Dragon Kingdom.
"Lin Beichen!"
The captain suddenly seemed to be crazy, and kept shouting Lin Beichen's name.
The team members next to him also came to their senses at this time and hurriedly grabbed the captain.
"Captain, don't shout anymore, no one wants to see such a situation happen!"
The team members beside them couldn't help but burst into tears, their thoughts were the same as the captain's, and the most important thing was that Lin Beichen had saved the life of one of their comrades-in-arms, which also made them treat Lin Beichen as their own for a long time.
"You will search me immediately, even if it is a corpse, I will bring him back!"
The captain who was held by the team seemed to calm down, and he ordered the team members next to him with a sad look on his face. In fact, even if the captain didn't need to say it, these team members began to look for Lin Beichen's body.
But no matter how hard they tried, they didn't find any results, in fact, they knew better than anyone else that if they were in the explosion circle of such a massive explosion, even a piece of iron would turn to dust, let alone a corpse.
"Let's go back and report the matter here to the leader."
After half an hour of searching, the captain immediately stopped his brothers' movements, and based on past experience, if they stayed any longer, they would face other threats.
As the saying goes, the lost person has died, but the living person still has to continue to live. No matter how unwilling the captain is, he will not gamble with the lives of his brothers.
"I said you just threw me here?"
Just as a few people were about to leave, a familiar voice reached their ears.
Hearing this voice, everyone subconsciously stood in place, their eyes wide as if they had seen a ghost.
Several people turned around and looked in the direction where the sound came from as fast as they could in their lives, only to see Lin Beichen, who was covered in dust, walking out from behind a tree.
Lin Beichen's face was full of tiredness, but there was still a smile on his face, which was enough to prove that Lin Beichen's life was not in danger.
The members of the Dragon Army surrounded Lin Beichen as fast as they could, especially the team member who had been saved by Lin Beichen before, couldn't help crying when they were sure that Lin Beichen was still alive.
This kind of approach is somewhat embarrassing among the soldiers, but this time no one said anything, they know very well in their hearts that this is a heartfelt gratitude to Lin Beichen.
"Alright, let's get out of here!"
Lin Beichen didn't want to stay too much in such a place, and the soldier who was treated by Lin Beichen before hearing Lin Beichen's words couldn't help but carry Lin Beichen behind him.
Originally, Lin Beichen wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it carefully, this was also the soldier's desire to express his gratitude, so Lin Beichen no longer refused.
On the way back, a few people briefly inquired about what had happened to produce such an explosion. When he said this, Lin Beichen also felt very shocked, he didn't expect that person from the Dragon Kingdom to be so ruthless.
It turned out that the box contained a remote control, and the bomb button of the remote control was a bomb tied to Bordeaux and others.
Lin Beichen didn't know how the bomb was tied up, but judging from the expressions on the faces of Bordeaux and the others, they must not have known about the existence of the bomb, otherwise they wouldn't have behaved so easily when the scorpion walked towards the box.
"I really didn't expect them to do such a thing, planting bombs on their comrades, I'm afraid even ordinary terrorists can't do it."
Shocked by Lin Beichen's fate, they also felt unbelievable in their hearts, if they were members of the Dragon Army, even if they sacrificed their own lives, they would never do such a thing as turning their comrades-in-arms into human bombs.
"But I can feel that the scorpion doesn't regard the person next to him as a comrade-in-arms!"
After Lin Beichen said this, he obviously noticed that the members of the dragon army team around him all trembled, and the expressions on their faces became shocked.
Although he noticed this, Lin Beichen pretended not to see it, because in the conversation with the scorpion before, he realized that this person might have a close relationship with the Dragon Army, and the reaction of the members of the Dragon Army team just confirmed the guess in Lin Beichen's heart.
But adhering to the principle that more is better than less, Lin Beichen did not continue to ask, after all, the existence of the Dragon Army is the highest secret.
"Why is that man called a scorpion?"
The captain tried his best to make his voice sound flat, but the faint tremor in his voice was still captured by Lin Beichen.
"Because there's a scorpion tattooed on the tiger's mouth on his left hand!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole scene instantly became quiet, and Lin Beichen saw that these people present did not speak, and he didn't say anything more.
Then they arrived at the agreed place at the agreed time, where a helicopter was hovering and waiting.
After Lin Beichen and the others got on the helicopter, they flew in the direction of China. When they entered the territory of the Dragon Kingdom, they saw a huge forest.
"To tell you the truth, I originally thought that the scenery in the forest should be relatively good, but after such a thing, now I am a little sick to my stomach when I see the forest!"
The soldier who was treated by Lin Beichen spoke, and when he heard what the other party said, bursts of laughter came from the helicopter, and everyone couldn't help laughing.
Meanwhile, in the forest, several middle-aged men with bows and arrows on their backs were gathering around a fire.
"I really didn't expect to hit the prey for a day today."
"Who's to say it's not, people like us who have guarded the forest for generations can only make a living by hunting!"
It turned out that all the people present were from a village near the forest. They have lived in this village for as long as they can remember, and this village has a strange rule, that is, the men in the village are never allowed to go outside the village, and once they leave, they will be removed from the village and never return.
Someone once asked why there was such a rule, but the village chief could not say clearly, but could only say that it was the previous village chief, that is, the traditional village people left behind by the village chief's father, and the people in the village should protect the forest and not let anyone in. It is said that there seems to be some secret in this forest.
And their food, clothing, shelter and transportation all depend on hunting for a living, this is also the only village in the Dragon Kingdom that allows hunting, because there are many animals in the forest, so their life is reasonable, and there are clear rules, absolutely no hot weapons can be used, only the old methods of bow and arrow traps.
And the state will give them some subsidies on a regular basis, in such an environment, although the people in the village are a little poor, they can be regarded as worry-free.
"If you can't shoot the prey, you can't shoot the prey, after all, we still have state subsidies!"
One of the young men had a faint smile on his face, not in the slightest that he could not hunt his prey. But at the moment when the young man's voice fell, a middle-aged man next to him slapped the young man directly in the face, and the young man was stunned, covering his beaten face and looking at his father in disbelief.
"Dad, why are you beating me!"
Seeing his son say such a thing with a confused expression, before he could get angry as an old father, several other senior old hunters shook their heads with a smile.
"Let me tell you, we are indeed doing well with the help of the state, and we can survive even if we don't hunt, but this is the tradition of our village, and it would be a great shame for anyone to fail to reach the prey!"
After hearing his father say such words, the young man nodded in understanding.
It is true that their village was a family that lived by hunting at the beginning, and whether they could be fed and clothed also depended on whether they could bring their prey back, and after the founding of the Dragon Kingdom, various wildlife protection laws were issued, but only their village was allowed to maintain its own traditions.
The first is that this village has a certain origin, and the second is that the number of people in the village is small, as long as the weapons they hunt are restricted, even if hunting is allowed, it will not have any effect.
The reason why so many animals are on the verge of extinction is because humans use large-scale weapons to trap them, and if they were laid out in the most primitive way, they would not have caused any problems.
"So you kid remembered for me, whether you can hunt successfully is a very important criterion for becoming a man, if you can't hunt any prey, don't say whether your kid is a man or not, don't say it's my son in the future!"
Seeing that his father had become a little excited, the young man nodded hurriedly and comforted with a flattering smile on his face.
At this moment, an old hunter beside him patted the dust from his hands, stood up and beckoned to the others.
"Alright, don't waste any more time here, we have two hours left!"
"Don't forget to put out the fire, boy, this is the first lesson you're going to learn!"
The old hunter nodded hurriedly at the young man his son, for fear that he would be slapped by his father again.
"You wait for me!"
Seeing that the others had already gotten up to leave the youth, he glanced at the little sparks that were left and turned to follow.
"There shouldn't be any problem with this little bit of Mars!"
