Chapter 23 Retreat

Since Ye Guangji conquered the Wolf King, the eight of them have been traveling for several hours. The various types of evil beasts they encountered have become more and more powerful. During this period, contractors who have been scattered have also joined the team. Due to many reasons, they agreed to join.

However, because the rhythm of the team is steady and steady, the harvest needs to be divided equally by everyone, so there is no rich harvest as a lone ranger. They all find excuses to leave, or go to a safe area to hunt weak and evil beasts, or three, two people gather together and be careful, if they are too mobile to defeat them, they will

run.

The previous exploration team of sixteen people existed in name only, and everyone tacitly understood that they were doing their own thing. However, when someone was in danger, they would still choose to support them. After all, we are all Xia people, and the death of someone would be a loss to the Xia people as a whole, and it would also expose someone who left the safe zone.

fact.

"Rest here for ten minutes to recover consumption! Guangji asked the hounds to be on guard, let's discuss it." Liu Kuo put away the cheetah he had just killed and called for everyone to rest where they were.

The cheetah knew 5 skills, including two earth magics, which made everyone quite embarrassed. Ye Guangji used the Ave Maria skill to heal the bloody hole punctured by the earth thorns on Little Black's leg. He put away the cheetah's guard.

Blue vines, surrounded by people eating and resting.

"It has been 10 hours since we entered this forest, and several people have already chosen to return to the safe area." Liu Kuo paused, glanced at everyone's expressions, and then said: "Awei has also reached level 10 (first level), and everyone's inventory is fast.

Man, I want to go back together and digest the harvest before coming back."

This is the second time Liu Kuo has talked about withdrawing from the safe zone. Previously, Jiang Chunyu excused Hao Jiawei because he was about to reach full level. He went deep into the forest and found many strange plants. There was a blue-quality berry that greatly improved everyone's attributes.

I was determined to continue going deeper.

"It makes sense. The evil beasts we are encountering now can already cause some trouble. I think I have gone through the advanced world. Improving your strength will save you a waste of level experience." Ye Guangji naturally chose to support Liu Kuo's decision.

There is always a lingering sense of danger when going deep.

Dabai and Xiaohei are the same as the three hounds before. Their ability to execute commands is slightly reduced due to anxiety, otherwise they would not be injured by the cheetah's earth thorns. Harvest is not as important as life, and in this death inventory, there will be

Being emptied, if something unexpected happens, it will be all in vain!

"Since the inventory is almost full, how about going back when it's full?" Jiang Chunyu smiled playfully, and the newly purchased blue-grade items completely fascinated his eyes. He didn't pay attention to the sullen expression on Liu Kuo's face.

What he said was completely an excuse, not to mention the tens of thousands of soul coins left by other Ye Guangji, all of which were used to open the storage column, which was enough to hold a few days' worth of loot!

Everyone is a loose body. The captain has decision-making power but cannot make a decision. If there is one person present who disagrees with the decision, it needs to be discussed. Moreover, the eight of them are too deep, and it is definitely not a matter for one or two people to go back safely.

Last time, only Jiang Chunyu and Zhong Xuegao expressed their opposition clearly, and the rest remained neutral. However, their attitude was still in favor of continuing to explore. As we go deeper and gain more and more, I believe it will not be difficult to find blue-grade things again.

As a scout of the team, Zhong Xuegao sat relatively outside and scanned the surroundings to act as a second-level reconnaissance. At this time, he did not pay attention to the conversation at all. He closed his eyes tightly... and his slightly squinted eyes suddenly widened, and his pupils suddenly widened.

It's like a grain of rice that keeps vibrating.

His feet disappeared lightly, and his figure appeared at a place where he had fought before. He lay on the ground and took out the body of a small evil beast. He was still observing something on the ground. Everyone's conversation was interrupted by Zhong Xuegao's behavior, and they all stood up.

Gather over.

"Brother, what's wrong? What do you think about going back?" Compared to Jiang Chunyu, who was fascinated by interests, Zhong Xuegao, who remained clear and rational, was easier to dissuade.

"You still remember, someone in the group said that this forest is a living thing." Master Zhongxue pointed to a section of tree roots below. Blood was dripping from the wounds of the evil beast's corpse, and fell on the inconspicuous tree roots.

It is absorbed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Everyone's eyes flickered and no one spoke. This was a question that they subconsciously ignored. If they were sure that this vast forest was alive, no one would dare to explore it rashly. After all, like Jiang Chunyu, they were fascinated by the huge benefits. From the beginning

Being cautious has become a bit unscrupulous.

"No matter what, go back now!" Liu Kuo pursed his lips tightly, his face turned pale. If this forest is alive, it would definitely not be a good thing for them who are so deep.

"I agree! But I suggest changing the route and staggering the route we came from." Jiang Chunyu, who was obsessed with losing money, also reacted, but still couldn't give up the craftsmanship in front of him.

Seeing everyone's silence, he pointed at the dark green leaves that could be seen everywhere and tried his best to persuade. "Look at the state of these leaves, coupled with the system's risk assessment outside the safe zone, it shows that the suppression of these things during the day is extremely powerful.

.Besides, if it is confirmed that this is really a living creature, who among you here would have the courage to go so deep?"

The reasons for the various strange behaviors of the hounds and the fact that the evil beasts will not destroy the trees no matter how they attack have been found. They follow biological instincts and know that they are in a terrifying existence, so naturally they will not be as reckless as the contractors.

Seeing that everyone was in a stalemate, Ye Guangji wanted to leave here quickly, so he thought of a compromise. "Jiang Chunyu said it right, we can stick to the route we came from, it will not only gain but also be safer.

.”

Seeing everyone nodding in agreement, he persuaded with a smile: "There is no way we can develop this place. Even if it is alive, it is still wood. If we push forward little by little to prevent fire on the outside, we can eventually eat it all."

The location of the safe zone is like the coordinates, deeply imprinted in the contractor's mind. No matter where the contractor is, he can easily determine the direction of the safe zone.

Everyone moved 300 meters to the left and ran towards the safe zone at full speed. When they encountered evil beasts they had never seen before, they lost their thoughts on collecting information. They hurriedly killed them, put away their harvest, and marched without stopping.

"Stop!" Zhong Xuegao flashed in front of everyone, forcing everyone to stop their running steps.

"What's wrong?" Liu Kuo gasped, taking advantage of the stop to take a short rest. He believed that there was nothing urgent and the other party would not cause more trouble in the current situation.

"There is a two-person-high hole in the front left. There are traces of spider webs and a large number of spider footprints at the entrance of the hole. Do we want to explore it? This is the first time we have found traces of insects!" Zhong Xuegao hesitated for a moment, but still listed all the findings and suggestions.

He knew that it was more important to escape now, but this discovery was really important.

Insects are an important part of the biosphere, and this discovery shows the correctness of science. If there are powerful evil beasts, there must be good things among them. The previous wolf pack had a blue-quality thunder-attribute ore, but it was destroyed by those four.

A contractor seeking help concealed it. In order to confirm the pattern, Ye Guangji learned from the Wolf King.

Everyone looked at each other in confusion, between immediate interests and unknown dangers, it was really a difficult choice to make.

"How far is it from the safe zone?"

"Continue to drive for an hour, and there is about a third of the distance left."

"There are a lot of small evil beasts around."

"I can barely see the safe zone!"

"The cave environment is small, and the terrain is favorable to us!"



Everyone analyzed the conditions and concluded that the advantages of this outweighed the disadvantages. If nothing could be done, they could evacuate quickly. Combining many factors, everyone decided to go into the underground cave to explore.

According to what he learned about spider habits, Hao Jiawei stepped forward and rolled in the spider web. Soon, spiders the size of millstones were triggered by the spider web and poured out of the hole. The number was increasing and there was a steady trend.

Fortunately, the spider's level is not high, and it can be killed with a simple pistol headshot. The spider has four pairs of scarlet round eyes, and its mouth with corrosive venom makes a sharp scream. Under the attack, it spits out a blue-green color that is highly corrosive.

of blood, the durability of melee weapons is significantly reduced.

Ye Guangji never had trouble with his cane. The increasing experience of his cane skills made him feel the pleasure of upgrading soul coins. At first, he would also collect spider corpses, and later he simply collected them without affecting the trees.

Small-scale burning.

When the number of hunted animals exceeded one hundred, the speed of the spiders' influx slowed down significantly and gradually stopped. In the end, no spiders dared to go out at all.

Bai Ling, Hao Jiawei, Jiang Chunyu, and Zhong Xuegao were not suitable for fighting in the cave, so they chose to stay behind and guard the cave entrance. The remaining four people advanced in a formation of two in front and two in back. Ye Guangji took out the Desert Falcon as a remote guest.

The walls of the cave were densely covered with spider webs, making it difficult to move forward. Dou Ziguang cast a fireball spell, and the flames quickly burned into the cave. Tang Yarou held a strong light device in front of him and advanced on the ground where the flames were extinguished and left with residual warmth.

"Be careful, there are plant roots on the cave wall, try to reduce the amount of blood falling to the ground." The trees in the forest are extremely strong, and the spider blood that can corrode metal can still absorb all of it without being affected by its corrosiveness.

"Well, let's move quickly. Damn it, I always feel cold when looking at these tree roots!" Tang Yarou couldn't help but shudder when she saw the tree roots that were as dense as tentacles under the light.

The four of them went hundreds of meters deep, but not a single spider dared to resist. They were constantly squeezed into the living space, and the hard spider legs made a squeaking sound as they crawled.

"There's a fork ahead!" In front of the four people were two forks on the left and right. As a last resort, the four of them split into two directions. Ye Guangji and Jiang Chunyu entered the left fork.

After walking more than ten meters, it seemed that the spiders were forced into a desperate situation and launched a crazy counterattack against the two of them. Ye Guangji used the Desert Falcon to shoot one by one, while Jiang Chunyu was responsible for lighting and quickly collecting the spider corpses.

The two quickly dealt with the almost crazy spider and kept pushing inward.

"How many more are there? I have collected almost a hundred corpses!"

"It's almost there! I see a big space in the back, I guess it's almost the end!"
Chapter completed!
