The three of them looked at the projector carefully and realized that it was just after dinner. Rhett Baird and Dejako gathered everyone together. Except for the people in charge of security and the wounded, almost everyone sat cross-legged on the open ground.
Listen to them.
Dejaco told them that just half an hour ago, they had made contact with the Nalazi camp. If nothing else happened, the rescuers should arrive here soon.
In view of the unfavorable start, Dejaco hopes to seek everyone's opinions on whether to continue the capture mission.
Of course, since De Yaco asked this, his tendency was obvious, and he must have hoped to get out of the way as soon as possible.
Obviously, this encounter caused many people to retreat. Whether they were direct members of the venture capital company or soldiers hired from outside, some were no longer willing to stay in Yanige and all agreed to evacuate.
Their reason is simple. In the heyday of the rescue team, it was difficult to save people. Now that the number of people has been reduced by almost half, it is especially difficult to continue to carry out the mission.
Kenny remained silent after hearing this. It seemed that he agreed with everyone's judgment of the current situation. Just as the camp was buzzing with discussions, Rhett Butler, who seemed to be lowering his head in deep thought, suddenly said:
"OK! I understand everyone's thoughts, but do you really want to return without success? If that's the case, not only will we not get a penny in remuneration, but we will even have to pay for the lost equipment. Just one Goliath
A loss like this would make everyone lose their skin."
Rhett Butler's entry point was nothing more than the word profit, which immediately made some people ponder. After all, who among the poor would come here to work hard? But he was immediately rebutted by those who were dissatisfied:
"Then what do you mean, what should we do? Should we continue to fight hundreds of wargs? So far, the wargs alone are difficult to deal with, let alone the hill giants! The combat power of this thing is said to be able to defeat ten
The alpha wolf will never come back."
"That's right! I heard that hill giants also raise wargs. I heard that there are hundreds of those hill giants and thousands of enslaved wargs. Without mechanical armor like Gloria to provide fire suppression, what else can they do?
Fight?"
"That's right! We don't even know where these giants are now. Just to find them, we probably have to risk a few more lives to get in. I don't agree to stay any longer...!"
The team members had different opinions. Seeing that the atmosphere was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, Kenny repeatedly pressed his palms to comfort him:
"Everyone be quiet and listen to Rhett Butler finish what he has to say."
Rhett Butler politely nodded to Kenny to express his gratitude and continued:
"We recently bought a piece of top-secret information from the Narazi camp. Eighty kilometers north of the camp, there is a lair of the hill giants called Orgrimmar. The person who provided the information conducted a special investigation. The specific information is as follows
of……"
At this time, a holographic map suddenly appeared in the night sky next to it, and the micro projector marked the map with two small red dots.
"Are you all there? More than a hundred kilometers away from us is Orgrimmar, the lair of the hill giants. The information clearly states that this period is the breeding season of the hill giants, and the information we obtained before mentioned it.
So, hill giants take advantage of the alternation between dry and wet seasons to reproduce each year."
"And in order to increase the chances of pregnancy for the plundered females who have been forcibly mated, the males will spread out and go out to collect a unique seasonal herb called Ningshenhua. They will crush it into juice and give it to the victimized females.
In order to increase the secretion of their eggs, I believe this is the best opportunity for us to take advantage of it!"
Everyone's eyes lit up after hearing this, Talon said:
"Wait a minute, weren't they together when they were collecting herbs?"
Rhett Butler said:
"Of course not, all the males will act alone at this time! Otherwise, if two hill giants discover a Ningshen flower at the same time, there will be direct bloodshed. We based on the smell and behavioral habits of the hill giants.
Modeling calculations can basically confirm that each hill giant will be more than two kilometers away from the other males during the special period when they go out to collect herbs, and will only reunite when they return to the camp at night."
At this time, a group of people were already whispering. If this information was true, it would be easy to create a situation where they would face a hill giant alone. At the same time, they could also use the Ningshen Flower to lure the hill giant into a trap.
Put it this way, it seems that not having Gloria is not a big deal.
Rhett Butler pointed to another slightly smaller red dot and continued:
"This is the Red Cloud Platform, which is rich in Ningshen flowers. It has abundant water resources and is 81 kilometers away from Orgrimmar. During this journey, we have many opportunities to find and attack weak links."
"Even when they are not blooming, a small number of old hill giants who have lost their fertility will be stationed in Hongyun Terrace to prevent the ecological environment and mother plant of Ningshen Flower from being destroyed by herbivores. We wait for the opportunity and even take down
Orgrimmar, what do you think?"
At this time, Rhett Bai was still projecting the appearance of the Ningshen Flower beside him.
This thing looks like a large-leaved gardenia, and its appearance is similar to a large blooming chrysanthemum. The flower color of the herb is white and the flowers are huge. They usually grow next to water sources that are ventilated and sunny.
Because it has high requirements for moisture, its living environment is quite harsh. It is able to reproduce in large numbers on Hongyuntai because there is one of the few wetlands on the planet.
However, it seems that Rhett Butler's suggestion did not receive a response from most people. The companions present expressed doubts, but they were also hesitant about money.
Dejako frowned and questioned:
"First, is this information accurate? If it is accurate, then why don't they keep it for themselves at Camp Narazi? You must know that the strength of the giant heavy industry behind them is only stronger than us."
"Second, please note that our mission is not to kill many hill giants at all! It is to save Ryan, okay? Even if this information is accurate, what is the use of killing a hundred hill giants?"
Rhett Baird was hit several times in a row. Even the clay figurine was a bit earthy, so he immediately said angrily:
"The killed Hill Giant is indeed useless, but did I say we were going to kill it? I mean capture it alive! The Hill Giant is also very intelligent. After catching it, we can interrogate Ryan's whereabouts.
"
At this time, Tarun also added:
"There is one very important thing that Lao Bai did not mention, that is, living hill giants are not cheap now... If we catch a few, even if this operation fails, we will not lose money."
Obviously, Tarun's words had the final word.
As the leader of the team, what Kenny said at this time actually surprised Fang Linyan. He thought for a moment and then said:
"Let me do this! Let's do some investigation first to confirm the authenticity of the information, and then everyone will vote. Come on, everyone!"
Kenny's tone was quite firm, so the others stopped talking.
By now, Fang Linyan had already labeled Kenny, a seemingly iron-blooded guy, as "indecisive".
When he came, Kenny had the strongest power under his control at this time, and since he landed on this planet, there were no big problems with the decisions he made, but he had always had some bad luck, so he suffered setbacks everywhere.
In fact, given his status, he can make the final decision, so why hold any discussion meeting? In this case, many people will have mixed opinions, which will lead to an apparent division, which will be even less conducive to the subsequent actions.
On the contrary, if Kenny makes a decision, those fence-sitters and neutralists will definitely follow his wishes. Next, Kenny will slowly communicate with Dejaco in private. This is the best way.
At the same time, Fang Linyan realized that Tarun was not a gas-efficient person. He got up to communicate with him sincerely, but in fact, he first touched his bottom and then videotaped himself with the three of them for a very utilitarian purpose.
That is to win over these three main war factions and stand on the side of supporting the main war at the critical moment.
Therefore, the relationship between people is extremely complex, and in such a small team, everyone's selfishness is everywhere.
Next, the entire team will be divided again. According to Kenny's "democratic" principle, those who are unwilling to perform the mission can stay in the camp to protect the wounded while waiting for rescue from the Narazi camp.
The main combat faction is preparing to set off to conduct reconnaissance near the Hongyun Platform.
Of course, the resources of the entire team will definitely be tilted towards the side that performs the investigation mission. Not only that, Kenny also stated that those who did not participate in the investigation operation will only receive the lowest share of the various profits that may exist in the future.
And Kenny promised that if the situation is unfavorable, anyone who wants to leave can leave at any time, and he will never hold back!
Under such circumstances, some people decided to follow the large army after careful consideration. In the final calculation, they still accounted for three-quarters of the total strength.
At noon the next day, Maher and others also arrived here in time with a group of people and met up with Fang Linyan and others.
This time, Maher brought all the supplies and baggage from the Deyako camp.
Maher resolutely refused the request to go to "Orgrimmar" for reconnaissance, and directly asked to stay here. This guy is not an ordinary timid person, but in the end, because there is an urgent shortage of doctors, he agreed to stay here temporarily.
Just stay in the abandoned mining area camp until the team establishes a fixed camp there and settles down, then come over and stay in the camp.
***
Early the next morning, after the team organized their personnel to set off, Vulture suddenly said in the team channel:
"Interesting, it seems that this ghost place Orgrimmar has something to do with the centaur we met at that time."
After he finished speaking, he shared the information he had just queried. It can be seen that "Ogrimmar" is a place name that was transliterated by humans in the early years. This pronunciation means reproduction in the Centaur language.
place.
So in fact, before the huge Tamu tribe split, this was still a centaur settlement!
There was originally a dense forest, with flowers blooming all over the mountains and plains. It was definitely a dreamlike scenery.
The Red Cloud Terrace is called "Silissos" by the centaurs, which means the source of growth of all things. Obviously, the ability of the Ningshen Flower to strengthen reproduction is also effective for them, but it is a pity that the centaurs of that year would never do it.
It occurred to me that such a holy land was actually occupied by a hill giant.
After the goat died, he said:
"It's strange. Since Orgrimmar and Red Cloud Mesa are extremely important to those centaurs, why don't they think of a way to take them back?"
The vulture was about to speak.
Fang Linyan suddenly raised his hand and said:
"etc!"
It turned out that just when the goat was talking, Fang Linyan suddenly realized that something crucial had been ignored! But that ray of light flashed past in an instant, and he couldn't catch it. It was really annoying.
After the all-terrain vehicle drove about a hundred kilometers this time, it stopped in a valley. The place was very hidden, and it seemed that someone had lived here before coming out.
This location was donated by Narazi Camp. Adventurers have been coming to hunt hill giants for a year or two. There are a total of five hill giant gathering points on the planet, so not all people will choose "
Orgrimmar" as a destination.
However, according to big data analysis, most adventurers who come here for the second time will choose this place called "Coke Valley".
Just because the color of the rocks here is black, like coke, and because the terrain here is both hidden and very close to Orgrimmar, with a straight-line distance of less than fifty kilometers.
After arriving at Jiaotan Valley, it was not yet 12 noon, so naturally they began to assign tasks. Some people were responsible for building the camp, some were responsible for fetching water, and Fang Linyan and the other two were responsible for investigating the nearby area to see if there was any danger.
After all, the planet Yanig is a very dangerous place. Even if the people who have been stationed here before have eliminated the relevant hidden dangers, it does not rule out that wild beasts will migrate to the vicinity.
While the all-terrain vehicle was traveling, Fang Linyan clearly felt that the life here was much better than the place where the plane crashed before:
There are some earth-yellow shrubs scattered here and there on the Gobi Desert, and some are even more than half buried by the sand.
Although these shrubs also grow tenaciously in the drought and are almost not green, they are still alive at least, and can at least be cut back to the camp to be used as firewood. In addition, scorpions and other insects appear under the rocks.
Suddenly, the vulture waved its hand, and on the sand a dozen meters away, bursts of dust were already rising, but a gray viper more than one meter long was flapping violently, but its head was already a little longer.
Throwing knife.
This kind of viper has a very ferocious appearance, and its outer skin is also extremely rough. There are even two to three centimeters of barbs irregularly distributed on the gray outer skin. Therefore, once it contracts its prey tightly and tightly, these barbs will penetrate deeply.
Penetrate into the opponent's body.
This is also its other major weapon besides its fangs. Not only that, Fang Linyan estimates that it is also a carbon-nitrogen-based organism, so its vitality is particularly tenacious and it can live in a way that human common sense cannot understand.
The vulture observed it and said relaxedly:
"There is a white texture on the abdomen, it should be a black horned viper, and the meat should be edible."
After saying that, he walked forward, took the guy's tail and flicked it hard, and then stabbed him three times in a row with a dagger.
After these three stabs, the guy's nerve center should have been accurately destroyed, so it quickly went limp.
Then the vulture opened its mouth, squeezed out a little venom, and then wiped it on a test paper next to it. Suddenly, you can see that the white test paper turned bright red. The three of them looked at each other, and their expressions suddenly changed.
They all became serious.
This test paper looks very ordinary, but it is a product of space. Its full name is Danger Test Paper. It was obtained by a goat who usually likes to hunt for strange things.
To put it simply, it can intuitively use color to reflect the specific conditions of the dripping liquid.
Fang Linyan and others have tried it. When fresh blood from healthy people is added, the test paper will not change color. However, when the patient's blood is added, the test paper will turn from light to dark gray depending on the degree of the disease.
At this time, the venom can make the test paper turn bright red, indicating that its toxicity is so strong that it even requires an antidote in space to cure it, and this is just an ordinary creature on the vast Gobi Desert. So, this ghost place
The potential dangers can be imagined.
So the three of them subconsciously slowed down their progress, and soon saw a raised slope ahead. The arc was not too steep, and the height of the slope was no more than ten meters.
Well, to use a more intuitive metaphor, it is an A cup on the slope, which shows how compact it is.
However, as the commanding height within two to three kilometers nearby, Fang Linyan and the others had to climb up, because from there, they could basically have a clear view of the area for several kilometers nearby, which can be said to save worry and trouble.
After reaching a high place, the vulture had the highest perception and suddenly pointed to the northwest:
"You guys, is there something moving there?"
Fang Linyan squinted his eyes for a while - to be honest, he was beginning to miss the mechanical Gyrfalcon - and finally shook his head and said:
"Sorry, I didn't see anything."
The goat suddenly said:
"Is it three hundred meters away? I just seemed to have arrived there and an earthy yellow rock moved."
Vulture said:
"Yes, that's right there! I suspect something touched the rock, causing the rock to move."
However, after only about ten seconds, the two of them said at the same time:
"Let me go, that thing is not a rock!"
It turned out that the "rock" had moved again at this time, and it was obvious that it was just a creature with strong protective colors.
At this time, the vulture had already sent the shadow clone directly, and it didn't take long to directly send back the relevant information:
Land-walking rock turtle.
This kind of giant tortoise usually likes to live near the Gobi Desert. After replenishing water in the oasis, it can persist for two months. It is an omnivorous amphibian.
The weight of an adult land turtle can even grow to about 700 kilograms, and it has a lifespan of hundreds of years. Its shell is hard and thick, the shape of the turtle shell looks like a sloping hill, and it has the ability to camouflage by simply changing color.
Precisely because the Land Rock Turtle has a hard shell and the ability to camouflage and change color, this creature has few natural enemies. However, Land Rock Turtles are usually very lazy. In their long lives, even the breeding season only comes once every three years. Most of them
All time is dormant.
So much so that in most cases this creature is mistaken for a rock, or is buried by wind and sand. It only climbs out of the ground when it needs to eat, or dives into the water to hunt for food.
