"Brother Jiang Ye, how long do you think it will take to reach the Dongji Mountain? How come the Sa family didn't even see a single mountain hair?"
This is a team of over a hundred people who have been walking in the desert for half a month. Although there is no sense of exhaustion on their faces, the scorching sun above their heads still makes everyone feel upset.
At this time, Lu San reached out and touched his round bald head, feeling a little hot.
"It's almost here. They said it's only more than half a month's journey in total, so it shouldn't be far."
Although Jiang Ye said this, there was still an endless yellow desert in front of him, and he was a little uncertain.
Here, he has already lost his way.
No one dared to use vehicles because everyone knew that in this desert, the noise of vehicles would only make everyone a target for the insects and beasts in the desert.
And as far as Jiang Ye knew, there were at least ten types of insect beasts that could easily destroy their team, not counting those unknown entities that he didn't know about.
Moreover, this journey has not been smooth.
They didn't go far out of Jinchuan City when they encountered a large gathering of fire ants. Although the battle didn't take long, three people with a fighting strength of about sixty still died under the sharp teeth of the fire ants, and two more
A man was injured by the formic acid of fire ants and had to withdraw from the team and go back for treatment.
Then there were constant sneak attacks by crawling earthworms with a combat power of around a hundred, killing two people; harassment by a large group of neck rats that appeared specifically at night, with a combat power of around sixty, killing three people.
Even Lu San almost died in a battle with the necked rat. If Jiang Ye hadn't thrown the sword out in a critical moment and split the necked rat in half in an instant, it would have been difficult for Lu San to stand here today.
It was only then that Lu San realized that Jiang Ye, who had always been in poor physical condition in his eyes, had a combat power of over 100.
If you want to kill the neck rat instantly, the difference in combat power must be more than fifty.
As they moved further into the desert, various insects and beasts appeared one after another, many of which Jiang Ye had never seen before. By the time the team reached this point, no fewer than twenty people had died.
Not long after, a voice suddenly came from the front of the team, "Attention, everyone, the front is the activity range of the Komodo lizard. After passing through it, and walking a short distance, you can reach the Dongji Mountain."
Walking at the front were the four young men who stood behind Zhang Hanting in the Jinchuan Martial Arts Hall. These four people had all been to Dongji Mountain before, and Zhang Hanting sent them to lead the way this time.
The man who just spoke was one of the four, and he was actually directing the direction along the way.
"Komodo lizard?" A few people in the team were surprised, "Komodo lizard is actually in this place?"
And more people, including Jiang Ye and Lu San, have never even heard of the name of the Komodo lizard.
"Can't we go around?" A person standing next to him frowned and asked.
The man who asked the question was known to Jiang Ye, and his name was Zhou Quan. He was the man with the highest combat effectiveness in the team. 162. In the previous battles, he had performed the best. According to the introduction of the people next to him, this man's equipment was all white.
Level legend.
The man shook his head, "No, this is the only way to pass. Dongji Mountain is on the right diagonal of this area. You must pass through it."
After Zhou Quan heard this, his brows furrowed even deeper.
"What's wrong, Brother Zhou? Is this Komodo lizard very powerful?"
A person next to Zhou Quan noticed something strange about him and felt something was wrong. After walking for so long, he had never seen Zhou Quan's expression like this before.
When he encountered insect beasts in the past, Zhou Quan never took them seriously this time.
"Awesome? More than awesome! The minimum combat power of Komodo lizards is above 150. The combat power of the particularly strong and ferocious lizards can reach as much as 200. It alone can sweep away our team of more than a hundred people.
.”
Zhou Quan's voice was not loud, but it was still clearly heard by Jiang Ye and Lu San who were not far away.
"The minimum combat power is above 150..." Lu San said in shock, "If the Sa family encounters someone by mistake, they will be killed instantly before they even take action..."
Jiang Ye was also shocked, "It's at least 150, and maybe 200. If it were me, I might be killed instantly. I just don't know what the agility of this Komodo lizard is? If it's more than 17, I won't even be able to escape."
impossible."
This time, the combat effectiveness of this team of over a hundred people was around ninety. The highest was Zhou Quan, one hundred and sixty-two, while the lowest was only fifty-three.
The reward offered by Jinchuan Martial Arts School for this mission is not low. Everyone is equally divided into 10 million federal coins, which means that each person can get almost 90,000 federal coins.
Those who complete the final mission can exclusively enjoy the heaven-level low-grade martial skill "Fire Slash", which is worth at least more than one million federal coins.
But this reward is not low, and it is only relatively high for some people. This reward is not enough to impress people with higher combat effectiveness.
At least among the people who came this time, not to mention anyone with a combat power of 200 or above, there was no one with a combat power of 180 or more.
After all, how many people who can achieve such high combat effectiveness don't have heaven-level martial arts to protect themselves? Even if they don't, you can buy them for money by hunting insect beasts that you have been familiar with for several months. Why go to the unknown Dongji Mountain?
Catching an East Arctic fox for someone?
Unknown mountain territory brings with it unknown dangers.
Zhou Quan's next words made everyone's hearts sink even more, "Moreover, the most important thing is that this Komodo lizard is a social animal. Either it will appear, or there will be seven or eight, or even more, when you encounter it."
"Seven or eight, doesn't this mean that as soon as we encounter a Komodo lizard, we will be dead?" one of the people said in fear.
"That's right, how can we go to Dongji Mountain? You, Jinchuan Martial Arts School, are too unkind. You all knew about this situation and didn't tell us in advance. You just said that there is danger in Dongji Mountain, and you didn't say that there is danger here.
There are dangers in the desert, right? If we had known about this situation, we wouldn't have come."
One person targeted the Jinchuan Martial Arts School. In fact, this person came here with a few friends, but two of them had died on the way here, and he felt a little unhappy.
"Yes, yes, this brother is right." Many people immediately agreed.
Jiang Ye, on the other hand, did not speak, but just watched the farce with cold eyes. In his heart, this area must be passed through, and he did not even dare to take risks. How could he become a strong man?
Besides, these four leaders of the Jinchuan Martial Arts School dared to put themselves in danger, so why should I not do it?
"That's really bullshit!"
Lu San, who was standing by, looked at the shouting group of people with disdain and whispered to Jiang Ye, "Who doesn't know that this desert is full of dangers and there is a possibility of death at any time. The Sa family doesn't believe that they didn't know it when they came. Now,
You’re just saying this when this happened, why did you go there so early?”
The four people from the Jinchuan Martial Arts School who were leading the way also saw that everyone was agitated, but they did not explain it. The leader said coldly, "Everyone, please stop yelling. If you have any dissatisfaction, go back and tell the owner of my gym.
The few of us are only responsible for leading the way. If anyone is still willing to leave, just follow me. If you don't want to leave, just stay here and wait for us to come back, or walk back by yourself."
"Hey, what are you talking about?" one of them shouted dissatisfied.
But this time, no one paid attention to him. The leader had already taken steps and walked slowly forward, followed by the other three people from Jinchuan Martial Arts School.
"Brother Zhou, do you think we should go? This Komodo lizard is too scary..." asked a person next to Zhou Quan. It was obvious that he didn't want to go.
"Go, why don't you go? I am bound to win the "Fire Slash" at Jinchuan Martial Arts School." Zhou Quan's expression suddenly changed, he hesitated for a moment, and then walked forward.
The man next to him gritted his teeth and followed quickly.
"Let's go too."
As soon as Jiang Ye heard what Lu San said, he knew that he would definitely go. He said something to Lu San and took a step forward resolutely.
Later, many more people followed. But in the end, more than 20 people stayed and prepared to return the same way.
In this way, there were less than a hundred people left in the team.
Five days later.
A group of people were lying on a golden sand dune, either supine or lying down, their eyes full of exhaustion.
"We finally came out. This is the first time that the Sa family has not slept for five consecutive days." Lu San lay next to Jiang Ye, his eyes already narrowed.
"They're all the same." Jiang Ye also sighed.
During these five days, everyone was highly nervous and kept vigilant at all times, not daring to relax at all. Everyone knew that the slightest carelessness would cause the Komodo lizard to notice.
And there is only one consequence, they will all die here.
But everyone was lucky and didn't see a single Komodo lizard along the way.
The leader of the Jinchuan Martial Arts School has obviously done some research on Komodo lizards. When he sees the feces on the desert, he knows where the Komodo lizards will be, so he can avoid them and pass on the other side.
The Komodo lizard's vision range is about one hundred meters, and it mainly relies on its sense of smell to detect the direction of distant enemies. At the beginning, the leader smeared a scent on everyone's bodies, just enough to mislead the lizard's judgment.
This is also the real reason why the four of them dare to come here.
But even so, no one dared to be careless at all. Under the command of the person leading the way, when they should walk quickly, they would run wildly, and when they should stand still, they would hold their breath and stop and go.
At night, it finally took five days to pass through this area.
"Everyone, take a good rest and replenish some energy. This place should be safe. After all, at the border of the area controlled by Komodo lizards, no insect beast dares to come. Let's set off at night. By this time tomorrow, we will be able to see Dongji Mountain.
"
The leader of Jinchuan Martial Arts School was obviously very confident in his desert survival experience, and he was obviously extremely sleepy. After saying this, he fell down on the golden sand dunes.
Jiang Ye's spirit is 17, which is higher than anyone here, including Zhou Quan, who has the highest combat power. Lu San only has 4, which is less than a quarter of Jiang Ye's.
Jiang Ye was not actually very sleepy. He kept his eyes open and was not ready to fall asleep. He did not believe that there was any absolutely safe place in the desert. The best way to survive was to be vigilant at all times.
And there are five or six people who think the same as him. This chapter has been completed!
