Chapter 473
Yuan Xiao was worried, so he tested several attributes of his powers, including his own spiritual pills, and the frog was able to absorb them all.
But after it was absorbed, the body grew bigger and bigger, and it looked like it would explode if touched.
Yuan Xiao was thinking of fighting. He rushed over and fought with the frog. The frog was big but not flexible. It didn't take long before he was stabbed by the long sword thrown by Yuan Xiao from a distance.
When the sword hit, the energy absorbed in the body spurted out, causing a large-scale explosion.
Yuan Xiao continued to move forward for a while, and no other resident beasts appeared, so he returned with the three of them.
The noise caused by these few people was also seen by other team members from a distance. When Yuan Xiao came back, everyone looked at each other in shock.
"Two kinds of resident beasts, whose names I don't know," Yuan Xiao asked everyone to sit down, "a kind of locust with very sharp teeth. This one is afraid of living. There are many in number, but it is not difficult to deal with.
There is also a frog that can swallow all energy balls, and will explode when you kill it, which is very troublesome.
Fortunately, this kind of frog seems to be territorial, and there is only one across a swampy grassland.
If that’s the case, it won’t be difficult to deal with it.”
Zhou Jingze stared at Yuan Xiao: "When new species of resident beasts appear, you have the right to name them."
"Let others do these things," Yuan Xiao was not interested in this. "The key to the problem is how we get through this swamp.
In addition, we must also consider returning. We don’t know what the situation is in the city we want to explore ahead, and the way back must be kept clear.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked very serious.
It's an unknown territory, and we don't know what will happen, but Yuan Xiao is right, if there is no way out, it will be very dangerous.
The rumored son-in-law actually considered the matter so thoughtfully.
"Our team alone is definitely not enough," Yuan Xiao proposed a new idea, "I want to cooperate with other teams."
"There is no such order from the headquarters." Fang Yashu was stunned for a moment.
"The headquarters also has no information about the swamp grassland," Yuan Xiao stretched his muscles, "I will explain the situation. In the meantime, you should not take action."
Looking at Yuan Xiao's leaving figure, Fang Yashu couldn't help but shake her head: "I really don't know if this person is a genius or an idiot."
The archaeological team is divided into five teams, and there is a competitive relationship with each other.
Yuan Xiao was appointed as the vanguard. To put it bluntly, he was going to fight alone.
Now he plans to ask for the resources of other archaeological teams. It’s surprising that others are so kind.
Sure enough, Yuan Xiao from the headquarters was in trouble.
The commanders of the other archaeological teams did not agree to support Yuan Xiao.
"The resources and personnel of each team have been fully considered and are very balanced," Dongfang Weiran sneered in his heart, "Even if we are alone, we can still ensure the normal operation of the team.
Sir Alex Ferguson's request now is tantamount to tipping the balance, so if there is a problem in the future, who will bear the responsibility."
This is the most basic principle of archeology. I didn't expect that Yuan Xiao didn't even understand this.
Yuan Xiao was not angry: "Our current allocation is based on the original hypothetical thinking about the archaeological goals.
What we need to face now is the real situation.
Let’s not talk about the problem of the ruined city. In the swampy grassland in front of us, relying on an archaeological team alone would be a big problem.
In addition, we also need to consider the issue of retreat.
Wouldn't it be more dangerous to enter a ruined city rashly without adequate preparation?"
Dongfang Wei Rang shook his head: "Sir, are you questioning the decision-making of the headquarters?"
The Archaeological Command is composed of elites with many years of archaeological experience, and their decisions are very representative.
"We are not discussing the issue of superiors and subordinates now," Yuan Xiao was very objective, "As you have seen in the video just now, the two types of resident beasts require our adaptability to be more flexible.
If everyone does not cooperate, then all I can say is to ensure that our troops pass through this grassland as much as possible."
"What a bold statement," Dongfang Wei Rang was ecstatic in his heart, "Sir, he is disobeying the command of the headquarters. Do you know that if the archaeological team disobeys the order, they will be punished with death."
"Orders refer to execution within the scope of capabilities," Yuan Xiao smiled, "As a vanguard, normally we should be responsible for ensuring that the following teams pass through intact.
However, if the basic conditions cannot be met, priority should be given to securing the main part. This does not violate the laws of archaeology.
If we follow what you said, then we are here now, should we hold the strikers responsible for their losses not long ago?"
Dongfang Wei Rang was speechless.
The commander of the forward team stared at him deeply.
"Commander," he thought for a while and proposed another plan, "it is impossible for other teams to merge.
My striker team has suffered heavy losses and is having difficulty operating independently. In this case, I propose that the striker team merge with Sir Alex Ferguson's fifth team.
As for the command power, I can hand it over."
This was a good idea, and the people at the headquarters remained silent.
Yuan Xiao agreed: "What I said is only a temporary merger and will not affect the normal operation of the forward team.
For now, make sure you get through the swampy grasslands, and we’ll deal with the rest of the issues when we get to the ruins city.”
There was actually quite a bit of dissatisfaction in his heart.
The people from the headquarters are far away in the capital of the principality, telling what to do here.
However, this is the world of power, and he must play by the rules of the game.
Fortunately, the people at the headquarters did not embarrass Yuan Xiao, and they agreed to the plan to merge the forward team and the fifth team.
"My name is Zhang Zhihua," the commander of the forward team smiled and stretched out his hand, "the team also needs to ask you to take care of it."
Passing through Cabot Canyon not long ago, the vanguard suffered heavy losses.
Of course, they also killed a lot of resident beasts.
The vanguard team was originally the strongest team in the archaeological team, but now even if it is damaged, it still has some foundation.
Yuan Xiao and Zhang Zhihua, with the members of the forward team, came to the location where the fifth team was stationed.
"Originally there were eighty high-level warriors in the team, and twenty-three died." Zhang Zhihua took the information, "Seventeen were injured, and only forty are available now."
Yuan Xiao nodded, and he gathered all the high-level warriors and superpowers.
"Come on, let's start with the combat instructions," Yuan Xiao reminded everyone, "First of all, high-level martial artists above the mid-level martial arts level, or people with powers of comparable strength, raise their hands."
Some people raised their hands.
Yuan Xiao also selected some people with long-distance attack capabilities.
The rest are a group of people with powers who can control fire.
Zhou Jingze interjected: "My martial spirit is also of the fire element, I can help."
This time Yuan Xiao did not refuse: "Of course, I need you to play forward this time.
But you have to be careful, I don’t know if frogs can swallow martial spirits."
"It's not a big problem," Zhou Jingze was confident. "The martial spirit and I are one. If it wants to devour it, it won't give me a chance to fight back."
