The faces of the six prisoners were all filled with pride, and they looked as if they had accomplished some great feat.
"What do you mean? It means literally. It's not that difficult to understand, right?"
"The weird tree you blew up to the sky is not that mysterious."
He Jin frowned and said, "Talk about people. Also, what's going on with them?"
"When you kill the strange tree, casualties are inevitable. They sacrificed their lives for the sake of righteousness, and their deaths are worthy and worthwhile!"
"I'm just as careful as you guys, I'm afraid that even if I eat shit, I won't be able to keep it warm."
"Weird Tree has been captured without any help. We will return to the camp immediately and report back to the command team."
He Jin looked slightly surprised, but did not speak. Instead, he glanced meaningfully at these people.
Sangou, Mao Doudou and the others had expressions of disbelief on their faces and made sarcastic remarks one after another.
"What are you dreaming about in the autumn? The weird tree is so easy to take care of, how can it be your turn to take advantage of it?"
"Are you crazy if you want to make meritorious service? False claims of military merit will be punished."
Those people sneered one after another and retorted: "Okay, okay, I know you can't eat the grapes and say the grapes are sour. You people can't stand to see others making meritorious deeds. Are you afraid that we will take the credit?"
"It's a pity that this greatest achievement is destined to belong to us."
"Hahaha, no matter how loud the movement is in front of you, we still have to take action to deal with the weird tree."
Sangou, Mao Doudou and others were furious and stared at these people angrily.
However, He Jin was unusually calm and stopped Sangou and others' impulse.
He said calmly: "You keep claiming that you have taken down the weird tree. Where is the evidence? You say you have taken down such a huge weird tree. You have to see it to believe it, right?"
Those people looked at one of them at the same time. The man smiled proudly, opened his arms, and opened eight steel hands behind his back, like a spider's tentacles, but each one was full of steel texture and exuded a strong steel atmosphere.
.
These tentacles stretched out from back to front, and eight tentacles tightly wrapped an object at the same time. The object turned out to be a plant like ginseng, but it was very large, far exceeding the size of ordinary ginseng, and was larger than a large winter melon.
Much bigger.
And this ginseng-shaped plant, under the restraints of steel, is still struggling, trying to escape from the restraints.
This object exudes a strong wood-attribute aura, and green energy is constantly growing and spreading all over its body, trying to use this green energy to corrode the steel that binds it.
It's just that the steel tentacles seem to be naturally incompatible with the ginseng-shaped plant. Even though the green energy is full of corrosiveness, it still can't shake the steel tentacles at all.
"Open your eyes and take a look, you will learn a lot." There was a proud smile on the corner of the man's mouth, and his face was full of ambition and arrogance.
"This weird tree is a wood-attributed elf with super strength. Unfortunately, it is naturally incompatible with my metallic nature. This is the so-called metal that overcomes wood. Under the restraint of my steel tentacles, even if it is a weird tree, it will still show its appearance.
Come out of your true shape.”
Sangou, Mao Doudou and the others looked at each other and were speechless for a moment.
This thing is really a weird tree? Why does it look like a ginseng?
However, based on the analysis of some information previously revealed by Professor Lu Jinwen, this object seems to be somewhat similar to the state he described.
There are many tentacles, the whole body is full of spiritual power, has absolute wood-type spiritual power, and is full of powerful life breath. These details are all consistent one by one.
Is this really a weird tree?
Sangou and Mao Doudou were extremely dissatisfied, but faced with this situation, they didn't know how to refute.
They have their own pride, but they will not forcefully surrender their respect in the face of facts.
As for the Star City team, everyone else was naturally surprised and confused. They deliberately doubted the authenticity of this weird tree, but they themselves didn't know the weird tree. They couldn't tell whether it was a weird tree or not.
Everyone looked at He Jin. He was the captain of this trip and listened to his decision.
He Jin took a deep breath and said solemnly: "This thing looks extraordinary. According to the strange tree described by Professor Lu, it is quite consistent. The matter is important and I can't make the decision. This matter must be decided by the joint command team.
"
Sangou couldn't help but said: "Lao He, what do you mean?"
"Close the team! Report it to the joint command team immediately and let the joint command team make a decision."
Mao Doudou reminded: "Lao He, if this is not a weird tree, if we close the team now, wouldn't it give the weird tree an opportunity to take advantage of it? Make it easier?"
He Jin said: "This object looks similar in form and spirit, and is probably the body of the strange tree. Even if it is uncertain, we should let the joint command team make a judgment immediately. There is no point in our staying here. Instead, it may escape."
The awakened person with the steel tentacles smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this. My steel tentacles are a killer for it. It can't even think of escaping from my grasp."
As he spoke, his eight steel tentacles retracted and folded on his back. The ginseng-shaped spiritual object was directly tied to his back by the eight tentacles, which were like eight big locks.
Eight chains locked it tightly, leaving no possibility of escape.
"Close the team!"
He Jin made a prompt decision and issued the order.
Sangou and Mao Doudou obviously still have many questions.
Especially Sangou: "Lao He, how about you return to the command team first, and I, Brother Dou, and Lao Yu will search again. What if there are other situations?"
He Jin shook his head and refused: "No need, we are a unit, attacking and retreating together. No one is allowed to act without permission and leave the team."
Sangou couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, and was about to retort, but Warlock Yu Yuan pulled his sleeve, signaling him not to act out of emotion.
At the same time, he reminded in an imperceptible voice: "Sangou, don't forget that Mr. Jiang has a backup plan. Even if they don't catch the weird tree, it can't escape." Sangou was still a little angry, but
After all, he said nothing more.
The six people were smiling with arrogance on their faces.
One of them even said bluntly: "Lao He, the ugly talk is ahead. When we get to the command team, we will state the situation truthfully. Your Star City team did not participate in the battle to capture the strange tree. Don't blame us for not taking part in the battle.
Your merit will be counted. If you have merit for breaking the threshold, we will report it truthfully. As for the greater merit, please respect yourself and don't take it for granted."
A trace of displeasure flashed across He Jin's face: "Don't worry, no one will take the credit for your work. But these people died, we can't let their bodies be exposed in the wilderness, right?"
"Haha, you are the captain of this trip, you have the final say on how to dispose of the corpses."
They don't care about people who die.
Carrying the four wreckage, He Jin and others quickly left the Kanmen site and returned to the joint command group camp.
The joint command team had sentries along the way. He Jin led the team back and naturally reached the command team camp as quickly as possible.
Soon, someone from the command team came to greet him.
On the Star City team's side, several logistics teams did not participate in the frontline operations. For example, Axia, Ding Lei, and Zhong Leyi. At this moment, they were concerned about the situation of the Star City team, so they naturally came to welcome the team.
When approaching the camp, He Jin called Dong Lan and whispered a few words in her ear.
Dong Lan understood immediately, and when he approached the camp, he quickly ran towards Ding Lei and the other girls.
As for He Jin, he was also surrounded by a welcoming team from the joint command team, and one by one he came forward to inquire about the battle situation.
No one noticed that Dong Lan, Ding Lei and other girls came to the corner and exchanged a few words in a low voice. Dong Lan returned to the team, and the girls from the logistics team quietly left the command team camp.
When the news spread that the strange tree had been captured, the entire camp instantly fell into jubilation.
A group of senior leaders from the command team quickly met with He Jin and others.
He Jin's tone was calm, and he described the situation of entering Kanmen very objectively, without adding any exaggeration or sugarcoating.
Including how to destroy Kanmen and hunt down the remaining agents, as well as how the ten new team members disobeyed instructions, broke away from the overall formation of the team, and attacked rashly, etc., all were reported without any disguise.
Of course, He Jin did not hide the fact that those people claimed to have captured the strange tree alive.
"My lords, they broke away from the team and did not obey the command. They should be punished. However, their contribution to capturing the strange tree is beyond heaven. If I punish them, no one in the world will accept it. So I ask the command team to make a decision. As for the capture,
The people in my Star City team did not participate in the contribution of the Weird Tree, so naturally they are not qualified to take the credit."
Without needing to be reminded by those guys, He Jin took the initiative to express his position, putting aside the credit for capturing the strange tree, and took the initiative to clarify that this credit had nothing to do with his Star City team.
This actually made those people feel a little surprised.
Sangou, Mao Doudou and the others curled their lips and stared, looking very unconvinced.
General Zeng said with a smile: "If we really capture the Weird Tree, we won't need to mention some minor mistakes. Since ancient times, foreign kings will not accept their orders. It is understandable for excellent combatants to make their own battle choices based on the situation.
In wars, success or failure can often be measured by the results."
General Zeng's words could be regarded as a final word for the ten team members who advanced rashly and disobeyed orders.
As long as the results are satisfactory, even if the process is flawed, the results can be used to deduce that the process is correct.
"So, where is the weird tree?"
The awakened person with steel tentacles quickly came out of the queue, obviously intending to show off his strength. He was doing a fancy trick, and the steel tentacles kept popping up.
The last eight tentacles clamped and lifted the strange tree again, displaying it in front of everyone.
"My lords, please see, this is the strange tree. At that time, ten of us noticed the traces of the strange tree. We quickly pursued it and blocked all its retreats. It stubbornly resisted, and several of our comrades risked their lives.
I clamped it down and used all my strength to consume its spiritual power, and finally gave me the chance to attack it, and I was lucky enough to capture it."
"This weird tree has lost its source of spiritual power, and its own strength is limited. In addition, my metal talent is in conflict with its properties. I was lucky enough to succeed. However, several comrades died tragically. They must be included in this credit book.
A sum of money. Even their contribution is greater than that of a few of us."
This person had a sensational tone and sounded very sincere. He won a round of applause from the audience.
Even General Zeng and Deputy General Manager Li could not help but applaud him.
Mr. Song looked at the ginseng-like creature with some confusion, and said to Lu Jinwen: "Professor Lu, you have been studying the strange tree for so many years, and your understanding of the Earth Center Clan is second to none. No one dares to say first.
Do you think this is what this weird tree looks like?"
Lu Jinwen actually didn't need to greet Mr. Song, he already walked forward and started to observe carefully.
After a while, he finally said: "Looking at its physical characteristics, including the scars on its roots, it does perfectly match the characteristics of the strange tree. However, the fact that the strange tree was captured so easily is indeed too dramatic, and it makes
I'm more or less unsure."
Mr. Song chuckled and asked, "You guys, please tell us about the specific battle situation at that time."
Judging from the physical characteristics, this ginseng-shaped creature is consistent with the characteristics of the strange tree, but it is so easy to obtain, it is not surprising that Mr. Song is still a little doubtful.
The command team and others also nodded, indicating to the person to describe the situation in detail. Do not miss any specific details.
The man had obviously prepared his words: "The situation at that time was like this. Star City has been asking us to maintain our formation and advance patiently. But we saw that the battle was going well and the opponent was completely defeated, so we felt that it was more appropriate to fight quickly.
, chasing them fiercely, so we gradually distanced ourselves from them. Two of our teammates who are particularly good at tracking happened to notice the movement of the strange tree. As soon as we joined forces, we chased them."
Mr. Song couldn't help but ask: "In that case, why don't you notify He Jin and others and ask them to speed up the advancement?"
The man said: "The Star City team advocates a steady and steady approach. They don't understand our abilities and don't seem to trust us very much. We are thinking that instead of spending a lot of time convincing them, and maybe even failing to convince them, we might as well chase and kill them first with ten of us.
Go over there. When they arrive later, they will naturally join the battle group. All of this is actually just because they don’t want to waste the opportunity to fight. It’s not about ignoring discipline, nor does it mean to be wary of the Star City team..."
This man is obviously a good talker. This statement is quite convincing.
"Tell me how you encountered the strange tree and the specific details of the fight."
"At that time, we were following the weird tree. In fact, the weird tree was also plotting against us. It was lying in ambush in the dark, trying to take a cold shot at us. We have to thank the little sister Dong Lan of the Star City team for this. If it hadn't been for its holy light,
Bless you, it is really possible that we were tricked by the strange tree's imprint planting at the first try."
"The weird tree launched a mark attack on us, but was blocked by the Holy Light Defense. It attacked three times in a row without success. Ten of us took this opportunity to surround it. I used the Midas to turn it into gold.
The surrounding ground is all metalized, cutting off its escape route... As a result, it can only fall into hand-to-hand combat with us."
