"Perhaps you need to go over and help then." Delya thought for a while and said, "According to what the previous team leader said, what he encountered there was a bit unexpected. From the tone, it seemed to be very troublesome and would require more time.
Go and deal with it. I was sent a lot of information to check, and I was also asked to inquire about the prices of some jewelry. In short, there are many questions piled on my hands now. After the recruitment of new recruits in the empire this time, the manpower has been reduced. Recently,
There are also plans to recruit new members, and I don’t think it’s possible until the leader comes back.”
"It's good to get used to it. I remember when I first joined, the team leader couldn't be contacted for a long time. It's much better now. At that time, there was no effective contact information at all." Waters said.
The other side smiled bitterly, "Then I will have to trouble you, Captain Hessler."
Hessler did not expect such an answer, but he had a smile on his face: "I am just bored here. In fact, my thoughts are the same as yours. I just want to go out and have a look."

Just after dinner, Cassia sat by the fire and looked at the crude map she drew, thinking about where to go tomorrow.
As he explored the surrounding terrain in depth, he gradually became familiar with this unfamiliar territory. Compared with what Grote had originally described, the terrain had changed dramatically. The impact of the huge volcanic eruption was completely left behind.
Lava flowed across the surface and solidified, completely changing the basic landform. The accompanying vibrations caused many mountains to crack, and over hundreds of years, it became a new area.
In the past few days, I have been active in the mountains. After a continuous rain, the clouds in the sky were completely dispersed. The crater covered with snow not far away was clearly visible, stained with a very light green. It was already considered a
Although the environment is extremely cold at high altitudes, it still cannot stop these trees with extremely strong vitality.
Next to her, a pile of crystal ores reflected a little orange-red light under the firelight. While exploring the terrain, Cassia also picked up a lot of jewelry ores and came back. The impact of the "bacteria" was even more severe in the depths of the mountains, where the vegetation was so lush.
Some are abnormal and more twisted. Many trees are completely twisted together, and vines climb up the trunks, making them more like a wooden earth bag.
After adding the places he walked today on the map, Cassia put down the pen and looked at the amount of food stored behind him. It could still last for a week.
Exhaling a breath, Cassia stretched his body. Under the reduced firelight, his own body was also emitting a faint green light. I don't know how long it started. By the time Cassia noticed this, he couldn't stop it. That kind of
The strange substance stuck to his clothes and his skin.
In the mountains, this substance has obviously increased a lot. When I went in for the first time to explore, my exposed skin reacted. There was a very slight burning sensation. It took a day or two for my body to fully adapt. Although
She didn't shed her skin again, but Cassia felt that her resistance to this "bacteria" had improved a lot.
Without thinking clearly about what these "germs" could be, they seemed to have the power to infect any substance. And in Cassia's eyes, this substance was very dangerous, but among the dangers, there was something that made him
Very interesting ability.
Accelerating the evolution speed of infected materials. Cassia didn't know if he should explain it this way, but he did see this possibility in the animals he saw after walking in the mountains for a few days. The animals that could still survive,
He more or less discovered something that was different from other ordinary species. From their fur, claws, body shape, or danger, they were all more inclined to be true second-category creatures.
"The influence of the Holy Sword?" Cassia couldn't think of the second possibility, "But Groat said that it was only the second-generation Holy Sword, an early imitation of Avalon. It shouldn't have such an ability?"
"But I don't seem to know much about the Holy Sword itself." After finally saying something self-deprecating, Cassia stood up and looked at the green mountains in front of her, sighing, "We have to hurry up."
Early the next morning, Cassia swam across the lake and entered the mountains again. Following the mark, he came to the end of yesterday's progress. Several twisted trees blocked the front. He peeled off the entangled vines and got a handful of forged steel.
The sword is stuck in the trunk of the tree.
"It's completely healed." The voice was filled with wonder. Cassia pulled out the forged steel sword and stepped forward to stroke the pieces of light-colored bark on the trunk. That was the place where he had shot with a firecracker yesterday, and it was indeed there.
Several craters were blasted out of the tree trunk. But it only took one night for the craters to be refilled and even new bark to grow.
"My direction is roughly correct. The place where Groat placed the holy sword should be further ahead."
While Cassia used a forged steel sword to open a path, she observed the new landforms around her. The plants became more twisted, and the tree trunks began to transform into vines. Rocks and condensed lava were no longer visible on the ground for a long time, and they were all various ferns that like shade.
Plants and moss make it feel soft when you step on it.
Not long after, a crisp sound under her feet made Cassia stop.
It was a bone covered by moss, which had been stained by water vapor for a long time and was somewhat blackened. A mining pickaxe was found on the side, which had become a lump of rust and was almost mixed with the soil below. It was the group of people who were looking for minerals.
, during several days of exploration, Cassia often encountered such situations suddenly. Many corpses were left along the way, and those in the abandoned town were just part of this group of people.
The front also became brighter at this time. There was only a huge prosperous tree growing there, with a thick trunk and exposed moss-covered roots. There were many human bones wrapped in the fine roots. It was considered a cemetery.
Now, all the corpses discarded at the beginning have become the nourishment of this tree.
Zi Gu shook his head. There were many thorny bones around the tree roots, as well as some cloth that had not completely decayed. It seemed that this was not only a cemetery, but also a temporary resting place for the group of people. Maybe there would be something left behind.
, with this thought, Cassia walked over, but his weight became a drag. Not a few steps away, he suddenly felt his feet loosen, and the ground around him started a chain reaction, sinking one after another.
The light suddenly disappeared in front of his eyes, converging upward into a small irregular spot of light above his head. Without any leverage, Cassia's hands were shaking around her body, and she couldn't grab anything to stabilize her body. She could only try her best.
Controlling the balance of his body, after two or three seconds, a huge force came from the soles of his feet and quickly penetrated his whole body. His bones continued to ring, and the dizziness and pain made Cassia unable to think for a while, and his mind became blank.
In the darkness, when his body gradually recovered, Cassia propped himself up and sat up, leaning on the hard object behind him. He took out a strong flashlight and saw a rushing underground river not far in front of him.
, and then looked around, a huge skull was lying silently on the side, its two empty eye sockets were shadowed by the light, and it was looking here quietly. (To be continued)
