It took Lin Xiao a lot of effort to pull Gu Zhiyou's fingers away from his clothes, looking at his wide-eyed death, slightly gloomy, and said in a low voice: "If we can go back alive, we will definitely help you take care of your family......"

But will they be able to go back alive? Lin Xiao stood up silently, his heart empty, without the slightest confidence.

Sun Yaojie stretched out his hand, wiped Gu Zhiyou's face, closed his round eyes, and was silent for a moment before saying, "Three people died." ”

When they set off, their team had a total of forty-three people, and now, Chen Long, the unknown short and thin man and Gu Zhiyou died, and the number of people in the team became forty.

Wu Wenxu on the other side wiped the blood on his face, just now he was hit by the tail of the stone-clawed beast, and a lot of blood marks were cut on his face, although it was hot and painful, but it was not seriously injured.

He walked over to the corpse of the stoneclaw beast that had fallen to the ground, kicked it, and said, "It's all this damn beast, I didn't think it was afraid of us at all." As he spoke, he pulled out the short knife that had been stuck in the stoneclaw.

Among the crowd, a young man with a flat head spoke: "I can't imagine that there is such a beast here, should we continue to walk inside? What if we run into it again? Shall we go back and tell everyone the news?"

Although it sounds good, it is actually his own heart that is timid.

As soon as he said this, several people immediately echoed his opinion.

Sun Yaojie frowned, glanced at him, and then said: "It's useless to go back now, there is no food, no drink, can we last a few days? ”

Lin Xiao nodded and said, "If we work hard, we still have a chance of life, if we flee back because we are afraid of these stone-clawed beasts, we will be dead." ”

Shi Lei is notoriously timid, he has always shrunk in the crowd, and after hearing Lin Xiao's words, he also waved the short knife in his hand and said, "Lin Xiao is right, we have no way to retreat now, we can only fight." ”

Fang Zhirong snorted and said, "Shi Lei, when did you become so brave?"

Shi Lei's face turned red, and his voice became smaller: "It's useless not to be brave, we have no choice." ”

Fang Xinyi snorted, her voice crisp: "It is this sentence, we have no choice, no matter whether we will encounter this stone-clawed beast next, and whether there will be other dangers, we can only go on, if we all run back when we encounter a little danger, then we will all die here." ”

Immediately afterwards, seven or eight more people spoke in agreement, and the flat-headed young man's face was slightly red, and he defended: "I'm not afraid, I just said if I want to go back and tell everyone the news, but since everyone thinks that there is no need for this, then let's continue with the previous plan." ”

Fang Zhirong smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "This sentence is reasonable, brother, you have courage, I don't know what Lu Dao wants to call you?"

The flat-headed young man laughed dryly twice before he said, "My name is Zhu Feng." ”

"Pig crazy, right, my name is Fang Zhirong, this is Lin Xiao, this is Sun Yaojie, this is ......" Fang Zhirong hugged him all of a sudden, and then pointed at Lin Xiao and the others, and reported their names respectively.

Zhu Feng frowned secretly, he didn't know what Fang Zhirong was doing with him so affectionately.

Lin Xiao knew that some people were crazy and had no common sense to do things, so he ignored him, looked at the several corpses on the ground, and said, "Do you remember the bulletin board at the site? It says that if you want to go to the next station, the ticket you need is 'Stoneclaw Beast's Horn'." ”

As soon as he said this, many people looked at the single horn on the corpse of the stone-clawed beast that had fallen to the ground.

Wu Wenxu said happily: "Yes, let's dig this horn down." ”

Sun Yaojie shook his hand and said, "There is not so much time, these corpses are placed here for the time being, let's explore the way first, Lin Xiao, what do you think." ”

Lin Xiao nodded and said, "Although the skin of this stone-clawed beast looks like a rock, its skin and flesh are not hard, and I think its flesh may be edible." ”,

As soon as he said this, everyone suddenly lifted their spirits.

Now many people are feeling a little hungry, and after listening to Lin Xiao's words, everyone was suddenly surprised: "Not bad, yes, you must be able to eat, in this way, the food will be solved." ”

"But eight or nine hundred people, how many stone-clawed beasts do you need?Where is there enough for this stone-clawed beast?" Immediately after, Shi Qian in the team thought of another question and frowned.

Saying this, everyone who had just become excited felt their hearts sink again.

Lin Xiao glanced at Gu Zhiyou's corpse on the ground, sighed secretly, shook his head, and had already begun to walk to the other side, saying, "Put these here first, let's act according to the plan, and discuss it in detail when we come back." ”

Fang Xinyi nodded and followed him to the other side.

Shi Lei and Wu Wenxu followed closely behind, Sun Yaojie thought about it and walked up.

A group of forty people left, and many of them looked in the direction of the station, hoping to see the smoke.

Because according to the agreement, whichever team finds it can return to the station, and then raise the smoke and notify the other teams, so as long as they see the smoke, they can return.

Unfortunately, where the station was located, there was not the slightest smoke coming out.

This road, because the road has been discovered, so everyone walked very fast, and after a while, they arrived at the place where Lin Xiao had marked before, and then groped their way to the place where the bushes and the row of trees were.

After arriving at the bush and this row of trees, everyone began to choose relatively long branches to cut down, and Sun Yaojie even commanded everyone to collect the green vines attached to them from a few big trees on the side.

Collected a lot of green vines, and then wrapped them together to make a strong rope, and then rolled them up, this is prepared just in case, in case someone falls into the living quagmire, with this green vine, it will be much more convenient.

"Wen Xu, this Qingteng has worked hard for you. After Sun Yaojie and a few people got it done, he pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said to Wu Wenxu on the side.

Wu Wenxu has great strength, and Sun Yaojie handed over the task of Qingteng to him.

Wu Wenxu was stunned for a moment, such a bundle of green vines was not light, and he was a little reluctant to carry this bundle of green vines with him, so he couldn't help muttering: "Sun Yaojie, why don't you bring it yourself?"

I was a little dissatisfied with Sun Yaojie's casual use of myself, how could I say that everyone was equal, how could Sun Yaojie act as if he was the leader of the team?

Sun Yaojie was stunned, obviously he didn't expect Wu Wenxu to disobey him.

Lin Xiao was cutting down a bizhi branch about the thickness of a wrist on the other side, and was cutting it with a short knife at the moment, when he heard Wu Wenxu's words, he was afraid that they would have a dispute, so he hurriedly walked over, picked up the green vine on the ground, and said, "Let's take turns, I'll carry it first." ”

When Lin Xiao said this, Wu Wenxu was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly grabbed it, and said with a dry smile: "I'm joking casually, I have more strength than you, and my body is stronger than yours, so let's carry it." ”

Just here, another person came over, snatched the bundle of green vines from Lin Xiao's hand, and said: "Don't fight, my hands and feet are not as fast as yours, and I may not be as good as you when dealing with that stone or beast, but carrying things, you young men will have to stand aside, leave this to me." ”

Lin Xiao and the others looked over in a daze, but saw a middle-aged man about forty years old beside him.

The middle-aged man had a dark face, although he was not old, but he was wrinkled, wearing a very old-fashioned flat hat, thick palms, full of calluses, rough skin, looking at his clothes, like a migrant worker doing coolies.

At this moment, he carried this bundle of green vines, and a sincere smile appeared on his face.

Sun Yaojie hurriedly said: "Then this will trouble you, uncle, by the way, my name is Sun Yaojie, I don't know what to call you uncle?"

Sun Yaojie is still quite good at winning over people, and he is very polite to everyone, but occasionally he is a little self-centered and likes to instruct people.

The man in the flat hat smiled and reported his name, the name was the same as others, with a strong earthy flavor, called Pan Sixi.

"Uncle Pan, if you can't carry it, remember to call me. Lin Xiao looked at Pan Sixi, he felt that although the middle-aged man in front of him looked old-fashioned, he was very honest and reliable.

"I'm used to carrying such heavy sandbags, and this little thing can't bother me, hahaha. Pan Sixi laughed.

Sun Yaojie nodded, not only this bundle of green vines at this moment, but other people also used branches to cut out a lot of slender wooden sticks, and when they saw that it was enough, they shouted: "It's almost, it's enough." ”

Although Sun Yaojie is not the leader of the team, because he likes to talk and express his opinions, and he often talks about it, everyone is used to listening to his command.

Some people are born to like to command others, while others are not naturally inclined to use their brains and like to listen to others.

Fang Xinyi glanced at Sun Yaojie and snorted secretly, she found that this Sun Yaojie may not really have any great skills, wearing glasses, he looks like he is gentle, he is not very good at skills, he is smart, and he may not be the most powerful among everyone, but he didn't expect to be mixed up until now, and he unconsciously seemed to have become the leader of their team, at least he screamed, and many people stopped.

Sun Yaojie saw that everyone stopped to look at him, and there was a sense of accomplishment in his heart, and his face was busy showing a solemn expression, and said: "So many wooden sticks should be about the same, let's pick out a few more leaders and use this wooden stick to explore the way, but every pathfinder must have at least two people around them to protect them from the sudden attack of the stone-clawed beast." ”

Originally, he proposed to pick the people who wanted to explore the way, and many people secretly shook their heads, feeling that it was too dangerous to take this head, but then they heard that there were two people around them to protect them, and they were relatively relieved.
