Early the next morning, all the adventurers met in a courtyard of the hotel. At this time, the mission time had arrived and the mission could be officially started, but no one was in a hurry. This was not Lu Gaoyin in the second difficulty area, and the phenomenon of competing for missions was no longer It exists, and everyone no longer has to rush after it as anxiously as before.
The meeting was chaired by Ambela, who was responsible for announcing the action and benefit plans formulated yesterday as well as related details.
Sure enough, the distribution plan caused a lot of controversy after it was released.
As Shen Yirou imagined, the controversy is not about the entire plan, but about the deficiencies in the details of the plan.
For example, some people pointed out that the 3.5% benefit obtained by the commander is too high and must be restricted.
In this regard, Wen Wen, Zou Yi and others immediately pointed out that when a commander directs a battle, his own combat time will inevitably be relatively shortened, and direct benefits will be damaged, so something must be compensated. So some people refuted, what if a command error leads to a defeat?
Someone pointed out that once this happens, the commander can be disqualified and deprived of his due benefits. However, whether the commander's command behavior makes mistakes should be voted on by everyone.
The debate was very lively, and everyone was trying to fight for their own interests. But because everyone's interests were different, they only got entangled in the details. In the end, they still revolved within the big framework formulated by Wen Wen, so they could not get rid of being The fate of using and controlling - just like as a worker, no matter how you ask for higher wages and benefits, your contribution will ultimately be greater than your income.
After more than an hour of debate and many deletions, the specific plan for the alliance's operations was finally settled. When selecting the commander-in-chief, to Shen Yi's expectation, he was elected with 37 votes, the only one who did not vote for him. Yes, he was the guy who was punched by Hong Lang for questioning Luo Sheng's four percent reward from Du Riel.
Perhaps in the eyes of scattered adventurers, Shen Yi is indeed the best choice.
Deputy commanders Amber and Zong Tang were also successfully elected. As captains of the two teams, they are indeed qualified.
After all this is resolved, it is time for everyone to sign a formal agreement and establish an alliance.
Just then, an accident occurred.
"I refuse to join the alliance!" a voice sounded from the crowd.
Following the voice, his gentle eyes suddenly shrank: "Lao Meng?"
How could it be him?
Shen Yi also looked at Lao Meng in surprise: "What did you say?"
"I said I refused to join the alliance. From now on, I will do my own tasks. I will not compete with you for the same task, but I hope you will not interfere when I am fighting." Lao Meng replied calmly. .
Shen Yi couldn't believe his ears. He asked again: "Are you sure about your choice?"
"Yes!" Lao Meng replied decisively.
Shen Yi looked at him deeply, and after a while he finally nodded: "Okay! You can carry out your mission freely, and I promise that we will not interfere."
"Then I'll take the first step." Lao Meng turned and left.
Everyone was stunned, and some people were talking privately: "Did this guy have some trouble with Team Broken Blade? Aren't they originally together?"
Hong Lang even shouted directly: "Did this guy take the wrong medicine? Or is he dizzy?"
Gentle sighed: "No, he is very sane. Maybe this is the best choice for him."
Shen Yi's heart moved slightly, but in the end he didn't ask anything, just announced loudly: "If no one wants to withdraw, then sign the agreement!"
Everything was settled and everyone finally started to take action.
After leaving the Kurast Seaport, the first thing you enter is the Spider Jungle. From here, all the way forward is the territory of the devil. Because it was a turbulent era, even the local residents did not know about the so-called Spider Cave, Skinning Jungle and other places. Where exactly it is, I can only give a rough idea of the city of Kurast. I only know that it is in the west, but I don’t know its specific location.
Since most of the scattered adventurers were not riding, and the tone of this mission was to seek stability, everyone no longer used vehicles and horses, and all used walking. During the march, the team did not follow the melee-first approach. Instead, all sixteen melee adventurers are arranged in a circle on the outermost periphery, eight auxiliary and mid-range adventurers are placed in the middle, and the innermost circle is long-range combatants, forming a three-nested concentric circle.
The maximum diameter of this concentric circle is fifty meters, the diameter of the middle circle is thirty meters, and the arc distance between the adventurers is about ten meters, thus forming a circular formation with a relatively large area and a relatively loose formation.
The reason why we should arrange this formation instead of the traditional arrow formation is mainly because this is the first time for everyone to enter this dangerous land, and they have insufficient understanding of the terrain conditions and the difficulties they will encounter.
And the dangers they will encounter may not only come from the front, but more likely from all directions. The circle formation is the best defense system and can effectively resist such large-scale sudden invasion.
As for the distance of ten meters, it may be too far for ordinary people, but for adventurers who can move more than ten meters by lifting their legs, such a fighting gap is already tight.
As for the positions of the three commanders, they are relatively flexible and are not limited to any area. They can move around freely, although most of the time they stay in the middle of the team.
Not far after walking out, Shen Yi came to Wen Wen. He whispered in Faa: "Tell me about Lao Meng. What's going on with him?"
Hearing Shen Yi ask her, Wen Wen sighed softly and talked about the blueprints for making undead creatures. At the end, she said: "He has this thing. As long as he is given enough time, he can easily build one." An immortal army... There have been reports of missing people in the Kurast seaport since last night."
Shen Yi frowned: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Wen Wen was silent for a while before she said: "I'm a little scared. I'm afraid you will be tempted after knowing this thing and try to get it from Lao Meng. I know who you are. If it's something you want, you'll do everything possible to get it from me." I will also get it. I would rather destroy it than see you turn into a bloody and cruel machine... I can accept that we fight for survival, kill people, and even kill some innocent people, but I cannot accept that we fight for survival. Survival and perversion, madness, turning slaughter and violence into daily homework and fun."
Shen Yi smiled: "You have so little confidence in me?"
"As for confidence, I still have it. But I know that a good woman never tests her man."
Shen Yi nodded and patted Gentle's shoulder: "You did the right thing."
Returning to the center, Shen Yi looked at the gentle back in the distance thoughtfully, then he walked to Frost's side: "Tell me about your experience in the Temple of Death, Frost."
"What do you want to know?"
"all!"
"Okay sir."
"Keep your voice down, Frost, don't let Wenwen hear it, her ears are very sharp..."
Go deeper into the dense jungle. The further you go, the more complex the jungle environment becomes.
The ground is full of mud formed by rotten leaves and grass roots. It is so soft that one foot can often sink half of one's legs into it. There are towering trees everywhere, and their dense canopies block the sky, making the already hazy sky. It gets darker and darker, as if we are walking in the dark night.
In addition to the quagmire and dim vision, the most troublesome thing is the tangled trees, vines and grass vines. They are always intertwined and intertwined, forming a huge network-like existence, which often makes it difficult for people to move.
For adventurers, of course, these are not real problems, but if they walk for a long time and are faced with these problems all the time, it will also make them feel impatient - the adventurers in the bloody city have already I was used to fighting and fighting, but gradually I became unaccustomed to labor and trekking.
"I said, don't we have a more advanced way to walk in this jungle? Everyone can spread out and move freely, so there is no need to do these boring things." An adventurer complained helplessly. The sword in his hand was covered with vines, and it was slashing at the thorn bushes blocking the way. This C-level sword did not drink the blood of the monsters, but was used as a hatchet.
"Boring? You think this is boring?" Shen Yi heard this and came over.
"Of course." The adventurer shrugged: "I don't know what you think, but this is really meaningless. I can run over this tree if I want."
As he spoke, he jumped out and easily grabbed the trunk of a big tree. Then he jumped to another tree, moving as quickly as an ape. Then he jumped back and landed next to Shen Yi: "Did you see that? ?We are all supermen, and there is no need to open a road like ordinary soldiers fighting. For us, any road is smooth."
"So these things have no effect on you..."
"certainly……"
Before the adventurer finished speaking, Shen Yi suddenly grabbed him with a claw. He was startled and instinctively lowered his head to avoid. Shen Yi had already raised his knees and bumped into the opponent. This time, the man could not dodge anymore and was caught by Shen Yi. Yi was knocked backwards by a knee. He was shocked and angry in his heart and was about to reprimand, but Shen Yi came with another kick and kicked him back repeatedly. His attention was attracted by Shen Yi, but he didn't notice the branches and vines under his feet, and he tripped. Suddenly, he lost his center of gravity. Just as he was trying to stand firm, Shen Yi kicked him into the thorn bushes. Those thorns could not cause him any harm, but they seriously blocked his vision. When he When he tried to stand up, he found that the moon-shooting gun was pressed against his head. He was so frightened that he quickly raised his hands.
Shen Yi said coldly: "It seems to have some influence."
He put away his gun and left. The adventurer was stunned for a moment and didn't know what he was doing. Several adventurers not far away snickered as they watched this scene.
Returning to the middle of the team, Amber looked at him and smiled: "Do you always solve problems in this way?"
"It depends on the right person." Shen Yi replied casually.
"Aren't you afraid that they will resent you?"
"As long as they fear you more than they resent you, it's not a problem."
"A very domineering ruling ideology."
Shen Yi replied: "I'm not ruling, I'm just using... aren't you the same?"
Ambera raised her eyebrows slightly: "Yes, we use each other."
Since they had to cut through thorns and thorns along the way, the team's speed was not very fast, and they only traveled 30 miles in three hours. For the "superhuman" adventurers, this speed was like a tortoise crawling. .However, Shen Yi insisted on clearing a passage for everyone to come and go freely. Then when facing an irresistible monster, they would at least have a passage for everyone to escape quickly.
Seeing that it was getting late, Zongtang suggested that everyone take a rest and eat something before continuing on the road. Shen Yi accepted this suggestion and arranged for a few adventurers to be on duty at a distance, and everyone could finally stop. It was time to work. In fact, none of them were tired, but they were really tired of the endless work, so a group of people sat together in small groups, eating their own delicacies and casually chatting about unnutritious topics. Most of the topics focused on women, so some lustful eyes always glanced at Wen Wen, Amber and a few other female adventurers.
However, the three commanders did not have such free time. As soon as the team stopped, Zongtang and Ambera came over to find Shen Yi. Zongtang said: "There is something wrong with this. After walking for so long, why didn't we see a single monster?" arrive?"
Amber also said: "In Lugaoin or Rogge Camp, as soon as we leave the safe zone, we can see a large number of monsters wandering in the wilderness not far away. Although it is a jungle and the view is limited, we must To say that we haven’t encountered a single monster is really unreasonable.”
Shen Yi looked around, put his hands behind his back and thought for a while before saying, "Did you notice something?"
"What?" they both asked at the same time.
Shen Yida said: "There is no sound of birds chirping."
"No birds chirping?" Both of them were stunned.
"Yes, there are no birds chirping or animals chirping. The whole forest is as dead as it is, eerily quiet." Shen Yi said slowly: "Animals and plants coexist. There is no jungle without any life. No matter the darkness What kind of world is this? It’s unreasonable that a jungle doesn’t even contain ordinary animals.”
Amber: "You mean..."
Shen Yi looked up at the sky: "They were scared away, by those monsters from hell... They are here, nearby."
This answer made both of them feel shuddering at the same time. Zongtang asked: "Then why can't we see them?"
After thinking for a while, Shen Yi replied: "Two answers. One is that these monsters are very few in number and are good at concealment. They may have some intelligence and know that they are not our opponents, so they hid. This answer is relatively simple."
"What about the other answer?"
"That would be a lot more troublesome..." Shen Yi looked at the two of them and replied calmly:
"They may no longer be a group of idle wandering existences like the first and second difficulties, but a group of organized and disciplined existences like an army. Either we can't encounter them, but once we encounter them... Just hit a whole army of monsters!"
As Shen Yi spoke these words, a long and shrill roar suddenly broke through the silent sky.
"Attack!" An adventurer serving as a sentry on the perimeter ran over from outside and shouted loudly: "Attack! Attack in a big way!"
