Chapter 13: Return to the Gathering Place
"Brothers and sisters, go home! β
Shi Cheng's eyes were full of bearded 'Captain Dahan' Zhao Tiancai shouted, and walked forward first, he couldn't wait to go back to celebrate, of course, it may also be that he was addicted to alcohol, this time he came out to search for supplies, but he found a few bottles of good wine!
"Wait, I'll take the loot first. β
Su Xinyi pointed to the monster corpse in the distance, and didn't see her move, she appeared in front of the corpse in the blink of an eye, waving a short knife out of thin air, and slashed down with a knife, after a "poof" sound, the monster's head cracked like a melon, she probed her hand, and a bead appeared in the palm of her hand.
In this way, he took off another bead again, and did not stay long, and the next moment it flashed in front of Shi Cheng.
"Brother Shicheng, here you go, this is the brain bead of a first-order mutant zombie, if it is exchanged for supplies, it will be enough for a few of us to eat for a month. Of course, if the eldest brother uses it for cultivation, the energy in it is enough to be used more than a dozen times! Tsk, it is much more beautiful than the ordinary brain beads we usually use, and it is really not a level thing. β
Shi Cheng glanced at Su Xinyi's crisp little hand, his eyes did not have much attachment, nor did he stop at all, he smiled indifferently, shook his head and said: "Sister Xinyi, you are our logistics manager, of course you keep the loot, you said it just now." You can't go back on it in the blink of an eye, so I have to trust what you say. β
After saying this, he saw that everyone seemed to persuade him to accept it, and without waiting for everyone to speak, he made a tired look, and urged again and again: "Let's go back, I have been wandering all the way so far, I haven't slept peacefully for a long time, go, go back to the gathering place to rest and rest before talking about other things!"
Everyone looked at each other, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know how to be good, persuade or not, and finally look at the captain in unison.
"Okay! Listen to Shicheng, let's go back to the gathering place first, this is not a place to stay for a long time, let's go!"
Zhao Tiancai saw that although Shi Cheng's words were easy-going, his expression was very firm, and he knew that it would not be good to persuade again, so he decided to take everyone out of this place first, and then go back to discuss the rest.
In this regard, Shi Cheng also smiled with satisfaction in his heart, and then followed the five-person team and walked forward along the unknown forest path, gradually moving away from this place of arrival, and the clone of the Five Elements Tree that turned into the same appearance as other trees in the forest.
There are some secrets that can't be said, and they can't be said, only in this way can he live longer, after he has experienced the enrollment of the Monk Alliance, he is no longer the simple boy who lives under the wings of Xiaoyaozi after all.
People always have to grow, and a man, even more so, Shi Cheng's heart is gradually moving closer to the appearance of his twenties.
This woodland is not too far from the gathering place where the team is located, after all, the purpose of their team's coming out this time, in addition to searching for the materials needed for daily life, is to track the traces of these two mutants, so that other search teams do not accidentally meet them and get in danger, this is indeed a few of their spontaneous behaviors, not a mandatory task issued by the gathering place, after all, every supernatural person is the wealth of mankind, and it is also the high-end combat power of each gathering place.
Half an hour had passed, and they had arrived at the gate of a steel castle surrounded by mountains on three sides, which was the settlement.
"It's back!"
Seeing the gate of the gathering place, the five people breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and their tense minds were also relaxed, after all, this territory, except for this gathering place with a certain protective ability, there are crises everywhere, and they are always facing the threat of death, and for the team searching for supplies, not every time they go out, they can return safely.
Of course, Shi Cheng didn't feel this way, when he first came here, he hadn't seen the tragedy of "ten people searching for no return".
"Xinyi, call the guards and get ready to go in. β
When he arrived at a position three hundred meters away from the gate of the gathering place, Zhao Tiancai, the "captain of the big man", raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, and then nodded lightly at Su Xinyi.
"Well, I'll just call it. β
Su Xinyi responded softly, then took out an object from her ability space, fumbled for a while, the thing rattled, and after a while, a sound came from inside.
"Yo he, is it a dinosaur Su outside? You actually came back alive, this luck is really good, but it's a pity that you are too ugly, otherwise I will rush to your good luck, I will also come to the door to propose, let you be my eighteenth concubine, vomit, I said, can you cover your face, disgusting me, just now I was thinking that the lights were the same, barely making do with you to sleep, vomit- I've seen you, why are there more people in your team, hurry up and report it, otherwise I won't dare to let you in, who knows if it's a spy from other gathering places!"
This voice is very unfriendly, full of jokes about the pain of others, this tone is even more frivolous, not taking them in the slightest, not caring about their mood at all, this person is very arrogant and domineering!
As soon as this person's words came out, several people in the team instantly turned red, in the past, when they encountered such a situation, everyone endured it, and today in front of the new teammates, well, except for Leng Yun, his eyes were just a little red, Shi Cheng's expression was still so calm and calm, but the slightly narrowed pupils emitted a sinister aura, which made the surrounding people feel a little chill in their hearts.
"Xinyi, I'll comeβ"
Shi Cheng's voice is still indifferent, but this is a habit developed by following Master Xiaoyaozi for more than ten years, and Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without changing his complexion!
Therefore, although he was angry at this time, he still did not change his true colors, although he and everyone were only new acquaintances, but who was he? The technique of numerology cause and effect is not in vain, others observe others and pay more attention to the beauty and ugliness of appearance, although he also looks at the appearance of people on the surface, but the karma in his heart is karma, what is the general character of everyone in the team, how can he not know?
"Brother Shichengβ"
Su Xinyi saw that Shi Cheng was about to make a move, and hurriedly grabbed him, she had just been abused in person, she was the one who was bullied, but at this moment, she was the first to calm down, although she was moved in her heart, she still opened her mouth to persuade as soon as possible:" Brother Shi Cheng, don't do it, I look ugly, it's nothing to be said a few words, although his words are ugly, but this is also a fact, the rules in the gathering place are strict, it is strictly forbidden for survivors to fight and kill, and those who violate the prohibition are all driven out of the gathering place, the strength of our team is too low, and being kicked out is a dead end, and I can't because I have affected everyone. β
Hearing Su Xinyi say this, Shi Cheng calmed down, the information of Zhi Brain is clearly written, the danger of Qiyuan Star is also very great, he can be in charge of a gathering place, he is definitely a strong party, and what he cultivates, he is still clear in his heart, relying on the formation may be able to fight with the cultivators in the early stage of foundation building, but in the end, who lives and who dies? He has never tried it, and he has no bottom in his heart.
However, brute force is definitely not good, and his major is not face-to-face combat, this grudge, he has a chance to fight back.
At this time, not only Shi Cheng, but everyone else also calmed down, considering the various consequences, they had to hide their anger deep in their hearts, but they also secretly gritted their teeth in their hearts and said: "This account will be written down for the time being, and you must talk about it well in the future!"
"Xinyi, give me the transmitter, I'll report for Brother Shicheng. β
'Captain Dahan' Zhao Tiancai barely showed a grinning grin, he wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know how to speak!
And he only felt extremely unhappy at this moment, and he couldn't wait to kill with a knife, but as the captain, he wanted to lead everyone to live, restrain himself rationally, and didn't dare to let this emotion go on, he took a deep breath and took the transmitter in Su Xinyi's hand.
Vigorously pressed the call button, and said to the other side in a calm voice without the slightest emotion: "I am Zhao Tiancai, the leader of the search team, and we have a new team member, whose name is Shi Cheng, and his age-"
When he said this, he remembered that he was only in a hurry along the way, and he didn't dare to chat much for safety, which was also a habit formed for a long time.
Turning his head and gesturing to Shi Cheng, he motioned for Shi Cheng to report his age.
"24 years old!"
Zhao Tiancai got the information and continued: "Age 24 years old, ability awakening, gold system!"
Seeing what Shi Cheng wanted to say, he waved his hand, signaled Shi Cheng to wait for him to finish reporting, pressed the button to end the call, and threw the communicator to Su Xinyi, and then patted Shi Cheng on the shoulder, which means that if there is something I don't understand, let's say it.
Shi Cheng saw that everyone didn't seem to have any interest in talking, so he shook his head and said, "Let's go, go back first, and then talk about it when we get to a safe place." β
There was no word all the way, except for the sound of footsteps on the way, there was no other sound, and the short distance of three hundred meters actually made several people feel that it was a long time!
But no one noticed that when passing by the gate, Shi Cheng quietly swept one of the guards, and then seemed to have a plan in mind, silently pinching his fingers as he walked, and when he walked nearby, he cast a spell to make a spell, and a wave that was invisible to others flew towards the guard, silently burrowing into his body.
This guard was the one who insulted Su Xinyi.
"Ahh
He sneezed for no reason, and an inexplicable sense of crisis rose in his heart, but he didn't know where the crisis came from.
