Chapter 722 Veteran
After the big bird in the sky made a circle, it also fell down until it reached the crowd of people on the opposite side. Someone immediately took out something to feed it and made a low sound.
The man wearing the old clothes of the pioneer team looked at Chen Chuan a few times, then looked at the items he was carrying, and then motioned to the people behind him to stay where they were, while he walked forward alone, and he only had
A long sword that looked like it was polished from bone.
Seeing this, Chen Chuan lightly clamped his legs and drove his horse forward slowly to meet the opponent.
When the man arrived, he took off his mask, revealing half of his face full of wrinkles, and his hair was all gray.
The other half of his body was wrapped in cloth, and flesh-colored scars and wrinkled flesh could be seen on the edges, as if he had suffered a more serious injury, and the exposed eyes were very sharp.
This man looked like he was sixty or seventy years old, but he seemed to feel that he was actually not that old.
After the two people walked within thirty meters, the man said in Dashun: "Look at your weapons and clothes, are you from the Dashun military station? What do you call me?"
Chen Chuan got off his horse, held the horse and stood there, saying, "Yes, my surname is Chen. May I ask your name?"
When the man heard that what he said was smooth, he suddenly showed a nostalgic look, his expression became more relaxed, and he said: "My surname is Yang."
He turned around and spoke a few words in Aboriginal language to the people behind him, and those people immediately lowered their weapons and firearms.
He then looked at the hooves of the dragon-nosed horse next to Chen Chuan and said: "It seems that you have traveled a lot. It is not safe here. There is an insect wave coming soon. It may rain in a while. You should leave early."
Here, why don't you come with us?"
"Insect tide?"
Chen Chuan nodded. Insect tides are a common situation that may be encountered in the blending area. In Chen Bitong's memory experience, he encountered it the most.
It will be overwhelming as soon as it comes, and it will bite the enemy hard. If there is no good way to deal with it, it is best to avoid it.
But forget it, the most important thing is the rain. The rain and snow in the unknown area of the blending ground are slightly corrosive, and will also bring down some organisms that originally only floated in the high altitude. This kind of biological parasitism and
The attack is very strong, so carrying it hard is not an option. It is best to find a place to take shelter from the rain.
If this is the case, it is indeed not suitable to rush and you need to find a place to take shelter first.
Although he didn't know the specific identity of the man named Yang, he could tell from the conversation that he was a smooth man and his behavior was quite friendly, so he didn't mind following along. Anyway, he was capable of any situation.
response.
When the man surnamed Yang saw that he had agreed, he immediately went back to greet those people. These people moved quickly and immediately released the big bird again. Then everyone immediately quickened their pace, and everyone was nervous.
Chen Chuan got on his horse again and followed them. He took a closer look and found that these people were moving in a very orderly manner, with arrangements for reconnaissance and front and rear cover during the march.
The clothes these people wore were also relatively uniform, and they all wore special masks. Together with their neat and uniform steps, it showed that they had undergone relatively strict training, and their backgrounds were probably from a certain military organization.
Among the team were several people in tattered clothes, and several others were being carried on stretchers. These people looked like they were not in the same group as these people, as if they had just been rescued from somewhere.
After walking quickly for more than an hour, a temporary camp appeared in front of them. There were people arranged by this group of people in advance. When they saw them coming back, they immediately moved the roadblocks in front of the camp.
The two parties just had a brief exchange, and then under the command of the man surnamed Yang, they lit all the bonfires that had been piled up around the camp. As the raging fire burned, streams of smoke billowed up, filling the sky.
Covered.
Until this time, everyone seemed to be a little more relaxed.
However, after entering the camp, everyone looked at the sky, as if waiting for something. About ten minutes later, they heard a huge and noisy buzz coming from a distance, which looked like a large group of dark clouds.
And it moved very fast. It reached the sky above the camp in almost a few minutes. At this moment, it could be clearly seen that it was an insect cloud composed of countless black insects like mosquitoes and flies.
Most of them have avoided the billowing smoke above the camp. Those who occasionally enter here will fall down one after another, and then be quickly trampled to death by the people waiting below, and then scooped up and thrown into the fire.
This time the insect wave lasted for more than an hour before gradually becoming sparse.
Mr. Yang's face relaxed a little at this time and he said: "Fortunately, the insect king did not appear."
Chen Chuan looked at the direction in which the insect swarm was coming, thought for a moment, and then said: "It may not be possible, there may be something more powerful than the Insect King."
From Chen Bitong's memory, such a large-scale insect tide looks like it came from an unknown area, where there are many people who can prey on the insect king, and there are still many powerful fighters and armed personnel there.
Swarms of insects are difficult to deal with, but that is for individuals and small groups. If there are a large number of fighters with certain equipment and special items, they can still be dealt with.
Mr. Yang seemed to have thought of something, and his face became a little more gloomy. At this time, it started to rain again, and there was a strange smell coming out. In the rain falling on the ground, something could be seen rolling down.
on the ground, and then either burrowed into the ground or crawled over the people nearby.
At this time, some people started to light some plant leaves to drive away these things, and then hid in the tents in the camp one by one.
Mr. Yang also asked Chen Chuan to hide in the tent. After sitting down, he took a bottle of water and handed it to Chen Chuan.
Chen Chuan took it directly and took a sip. In Chen Bitong's experience, this is an indigenous custom. If the host hands you water, if you drink the water, you express your trust in the host and you are their guest.
When Mr. Yang saw him drinking so happily, there was a hint of recognition in his eyes, and then he looked at Chen Chuan with a hint of hope.
"Mr. Chen, you are from the Dashun military. I wonder if you have received a telegram signal on an old frequency these days?"
Chen Chuan looked at him and said, "I don't know this. The intelligence department didn't tell me this before I came out."
Mr. Yang didn't seem to have much hope. He was silent for a moment and then said: "That's right, no one may pay attention to such an old signal."
Chen Chuan asked: "Senior, were you in the Pioneer team before?"
Mr. Yang admitted: "Yes, it's been a long time, maybe twenty-five years," he paused and added.
"I'm not a deserter."
He said in a deep voice: "Twenty-five years ago, several team members and I went deep into this area and discovered a relic during the development process. But unfortunately, an elite team sent by the old imperial family
The team also found this place. After the two sides fought, we completely wiped out this elite team, but the team suffered a lot of damage. Only me and another teammate were left with fighting ability.
But at this time, we encountered another attack from a giant python. I asked another team member to cover the retreat of other teammates, while I stayed behind to break up. In the end, due to too much physical exertion, I couldn't escape for a moment and was bitten by the giant snake.
Swallowed it.
But I didn't give in. After entering the python's body, I still tried my best to destroy it.
I originally thought about dying with this giant python, but I didn't expect that the python rolled over and rushed into an indigenous village and died there. Later, I was cut out of the python's belly by the local indigenous people.
They used herbs to treat my injuries, and by that time my whole body was almost melted to pieces, and it took more than a year to recover."
He sighed slightly, "I guess even if several of my teammates managed to go back, they would think that I had died, and I lacked the equipment and the cooperation of my teammates, so there was no way I could go back.
Later, I sent several telegrams, but there was no response, and there was no one at home. In addition, these natives saved me, so I just stayed here, and I have been living here ever since."
At this time, he took a bamboo tube with a strong medicinal smell, opened it, took a sip, and then sprayed it at the entrance of the tent.
There was a scoffing sound, and many small insects that crawled into the tent suddenly curled up, and then wisps of light smoke came out from their bodies.
He wiped his mouth and said: "About three months ago, I saw a cloud light that was almost connected to the sky in the jungle. I knew that there must be something left behind, and the level was not low.
Every time the relics of the third level appear, it will definitely trigger a fight between the old imperial family, Dashun and the company. The nearby gathering place is too close to there, so I have been persuading them to move away from here, but they
And refused to listen.”
Chen Chuan knew very well that the appearance of leftover objects was usually accompanied by colorful light clouds in the early stages, and this abnormality could be observed from very far away. The grade of leftover objects could usually be judged through these lights.
All parties discovered the appearance of the relics almost at the same time, and it was precisely for this reason.
He said: "Dashun's camp is not here. The attacks encountered at the gathering place should have come from a consortium of companies."
Mr. Yang looked solemn and said: "I saw their badges, and I also saw the team of the Linax Federation. Now the gathering areas near the mountain valley have been almost wiped out by them. When we come here this time,
Try to bring back those who escaped.
But this is not easy. I found that there was a fighter from the alliance who had been chasing us, and seemed to want to follow us to find the rest of our camp. I couldn't let him succeed, so I fought with this man twice, but
I found that he is very powerful..."
As he spoke, he opened his blouse. There was a hideous wound on his chest that was full of scars and wrinkles. You could almost see the clothes behind it.
He said in a deep voice: "In the past, this person was enough to be a member of the pioneer team, no, he was the captain."
As he said that, he looked at Chen Chuan with his only remaining eye, "Mr. Chen, you can come here alone. I believe you are very strong. As a Dashun veteran, I want to ask you to help stop it with me."
This person, I promise, will give you adequate rewards afterwards."
