Chapter 2366 Special Mission (two chapters in one)
"Roar……"
Angry beast roars sounded on the grassland, and the black scorpion beast swung its tail and slapped the ground, and small pits were formed in an instant.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, had a proud smile on his face. His feet kept moving at a faster pace and he continued to run forward.
After a while, the pig-headed captain, who had exhausted a lot of energy and had a brown birthmark on his forehead, had to stop. Panting, he came to rest under a big tree.
"Tons, tons, tons."
After drinking several sips of water in a row, most of the thirsty feeling disappeared.
The water bottle that was full at the beginning now had little water left. Next, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead needed to find a water source to replenish some water, otherwise he would not be able to travel on his way.
"call……"
The panting pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead leaned against a big tree, wiping the sweat from his forehead while observing the endless grassland in the distance.
If there are mountains around, it is easy to find clean water sources.
Unfortunately, we are now in a vast grassland, so we have to put a lot of effort into finding water sources.
After the pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, regained his strength, he immediately stood up, then jumped up into the big tree.
You are lucky to encounter a big tree in this vast grassland. Not only can you rest under the shade of the tree, but you can also climb up the tree and look far away.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead came to the top of the tree. He grabbed the branch with his right hand and placed his left hand on his forehead, squinting his eyes and looking around.
The lush grass obscures the situation on the ground, and you need to pay close attention to find some traces of the river.
"There seems to be a small river there."
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, observed it for about ten minutes. After determining the location, he immediately got down from the tree.
After landing, immediately run quickly to the location where there may be a small river.
"call……"
Occasionally, a gust of wind blew, causing the wild grass on the grassland to sway. The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead felt a little cooler as he was on his way.
He entered the tall grass, and the wind was immediately blocked, and he felt a burning sensation in his body.
"Shashasha..."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead walked a long distance in the grass, and suddenly his path was blocked by some plants with thorns in front of him.
It's not impossible to get around it, it will take a lot of time.
"Fortunately, I didn't run away, otherwise I might have plunged into these thorny plants..."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead drew his weapon, and then slashed out several streaks of pale golden sword energy, destroying all the plants blocking his way.
After a few minutes, the situation where the weeds blocking the view finally got better.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead walked out of the grass and suddenly saw a winding river.
This small river is very clear. If you stand on the bank and look into the water, you can also see some small fish.
The sunlight from the sun in the sky falls from the sky, and the river surface sparkles.
Small silvery fish will occasionally jump out of the water, then fall into the water and splash.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead squatted down by the river, and some small fish hiding under the grass on the river bank fled in all directions.
He picked up the kettle and put it into the river. After filling it with water, he took a sip and felt that the river water had a hint of sweetness.
"Tons, tons, tons..."
It's not easy to find a small river, so you need to replenish it with water.
"belch."
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead after drinking a lot of water, burped. Because the river bank was relatively open, the wind blew cooler on his body.
At this time, he really wanted to lie down and have a good sleep, but the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead thought that he needed to hurry up and get to his destination, so he cheered up and continued on his journey.
Time passes and the sun hanging in the sky is about to disappear.
The fire clouds in the evening decorate the sky like a dream, and such a beautiful scenery makes people feel mesmerized.
Unfortunately, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was only thinking about arriving at his destination early, and he paid no attention to the beautiful scenery in the evening.
"twitter……"
There was a noisy sound in the sky. The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead turned his head when he heard the sound and immediately saw many birds flying up from the grass in the distance and gathering together to hover in the sky.
"What are they doing?"
"Is it a big party?"
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead watched the birds in the distance hover in the sky for a while before landing again, and then their chirping sounds never stopped for a moment.
Suddenly, I remembered something that my friend said before. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. Now I saw the behavior of these birds and it immediately confirmed the statement.
"There are dangerous beasts nearby."
"I have to be more careful next time."
Yes, birds behave strangely like that. The main reason is that there are dangerous animals around. They do what they do to remind other similar species to pay attention to their safety.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, got the hint and immediately slowed down his pace.
Not long after, he decided to stop here for the day and continue on his way after daybreak.
Since it was not feasible to find a cave on the grassland, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead took the next best option and found a tree or bush as a temporary camp.
Looking around, I found a bush that was growing vigorously a hundred meters away. In addition to being tall, this bush also had some bright red fruits hanging on it.
"We'll spend the night there tonight." The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead made up his mind and immediately ran forward.
When he came to the bush, he reached out and picked a few fruits the size of fingernails and stuffed them into his mouth.
The sour taste is just average, but I am lucky to be able to eat some wild fruits under such conditions.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead tasted a few wild fruits and did not continue eating. Instead, he hurriedly picked up dry branches around him.
Before the sun completely set, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead organized the temporary camp and lit a bonfire.
"call……"
It was pitch dark all around, with only the firelight from the bonfire illuminating a small area around it, and the occasional wind blowing made the bonfire sway.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead took out some dried meat from his backpack, tied it with branches and roasted it on the bonfire. Not long after, the delicious smell of meat began to spread.
After a simple dinner, the pig-headed captain with a full stomach and a brown birthmark on his forehead grabbed the picked wild fruits and stuffed them into his mouth.
The sweet and sour juice bursts into your mouth, and it tastes better than barbecue.
Of course, if you want to be the most hungry, barbecue is the most hungry.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead lay down on the haystack, his head resting on his arms, looking at the star-studded night sky, his thoughts involuntarily scattered.
It has been more than half a year since I left my hometown and went on a mission here. I don’t know when the mission will end and I will return to my hometown to reunite with my family.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at the night sky and slowly closed his eyes. Because he spent the night alone on the grassland, he did not dare to fall asleep even if he closed his eyes. Now he just closed his eyes to rest.
…………
"I'll go look over there, please be careful."
"It's okay for me to stay here, just be careful."
Two voices sounded by the river. The investigators in linen clothes chatted for a few words. Then one of them stayed in front of the bonfire, while the other walked towards the dark grass in the distance.
After a while, the leaving investigator returned to the campfire and placed the small basket in his hand on the ground.
This small basket is the size of a basketball and contains many fragrant wild fruits.
"I just tasted it. The fruit is sweet and very delicious."
"Then I have to have a taste."
"How's it going? I didn't say anything nonsense!"
“Really delicious.”
The two investigators were eating wild fruits and chatting.
They had already eaten dinner, which was portable self-heating dry food.
"If the information provided by those pig-headed men who surrendered is false, our escape this time will be in vain," the tall investigator said.
"They have all surrendered to us and are living a good life. There is no need to lie to us," the short investigator said.
"If they hadn't lied to us, by the time we got to that city, the first step of our mission would have been completed."
"The first step of the mission is relatively easy to complete. The main task is to sneak into the city and collect detailed intelligence..."
It turned out that the two investigators were going to the nearest city to collect intelligence. Although they had reached a peace agreement with the pig-headed people, it did not mean that the other party would not change their minds in the future.
Therefore, after the top brass of the base camp held a meeting, they decided to send two people to the nearest city to collect intelligence.
After all, he is an outsider, so his intelligence collection on the spiritual world is still lacking.
For example, the investigators only know that the grassland outside the forest is very large, but they don't know how big it is.
Because the people who provided information about the grassland were surrendered pig-headed warriors. They were all small soldiers. They usually followed the army and didn't have to worry about anything else.
Therefore, regarding the information on the grassland, these soldiers only knew a general idea and did not know anything about the detailed details.
"We have been traveling all day today. You should lie down and rest first."
"You encountered that strange beast earlier and you spent a lot of energy to deal with it. It's better for you to lie down and rest first. I'll rest later in the night."
"Okay, let me rest first."
"Um."
The two simply chatted for a few words, and then took the time to rest and regain their strength.
If you perform this task alone, you won't be able to have a good rest at night.
Now there are two people, one can sleep first, and then after a few hours, the other person can rest.
This method of alternating breaks can be used in many scenarios.
…………
Time passed and the moon in the sky moved a certain distance.
The silvery-white moonlight splashed across the earth, covering everything on the ground with a hazy garment.
The temperature is not low during the day, so many strange animals living in this area choose to stay in the dark during the day.
The night becomes darker, which is when many strange animals come out and move around.
The roars of various beasts echoed on the grassland, making people feel frightened.
The campfire made a crackling sound, and the pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead with his eyes closed to concentrate, heard the roar of a strange beast in the distance. He opened his eyes, then sat up and looked into the distance.
Even though the moonlight is very bright tonight, there are still relatively few things that can be clearly seen by looking into the distance with the naked eye.
"It's not good to spend the night on the grassland without a decent shelter." The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead said to himself when he heard the roar of beasts in the distance.
The noise of the strange beasts in the second half of the night was so loud that it was impossible to close my eyes and relax.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead endured it until the sun rose in the sky.
"Roar……"
After the sun appeared, the strange beasts that lurked during the day and emerged at night roared at each other, and then returned home in unison.
The work and rest times of these strange beasts are really regular. When they return home, the strange beasts will immediately enter a state of rest.
When the moon rises, they will come out of the darkness one after another, and then look for prey.
"Ha~"
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead yawned, rubbed his eyes with his hands, and then he picked up the kettle next to him and took a sip of water.
Breakfast was very simple. After eating, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead put out the bonfire with soil.
When traveling on the grassland, in addition to the threats posed by strange animals, there is also the threat of fire.
If forced to choose one of the two threats, most people would choose alien beasts, because once a fire occurs, it is very difficult to successfully escape on this vast grassland.
Therefore, people traveling on the grassland will take fire prevention measures whenever they light a bonfire.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead saw that the bonfire was completely buried by the soil, and immediately clapped his hands, and then took off some of the weeds stuck to his collar.
"Go in that direction next."
Because of the existence of the sun, it is relatively simple to identify the direction.
Once it's cloudy and you can't see the sun, you need to observe some surrounding plants in advance to avoid getting lost.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, packed up his things and quickly walked forward on the planned route.
When his figure disappeared, more than half an hour passed, and two figures appeared not far from the bonfire.
"It seems like someone has been there."
"Go over and have a look."
The two investigators came to the extinguished bonfire. They turned over the dry soil and saw a lot of charcoal that was still warm.
