The little lapel looked at the mechanical watch and replied.
"Has it been more than six hours since I came in last night?" Yuan Xinglu murmured. As a fifth-grade monk, the cold here is nothing to him. He is not wearing winter clothes at all. He is still just a thin uniform.
But there is spiritual energy permeating the air all the time, blocking the cold air.
After solidifying last night, Liusi began to explore the island and successfully arrived at the center of the floating continent overnight.
This speed is not bad at all.
The projection area is very large and has deep dimensions, so the space to be explored is even wider.
If we fumble a little bit and spend a few hours, we will definitely not be able to reach this place. The reason why it is so difficult is simply because of the order given by Yuan Xinglu, or in other words, his goal from the beginning was the center of the floating land.
At the earliest, before the projection was solidified, the country had already carried out many detections and map production through satellites and helicopters.
The situation inside the frozen soil is not very clear and blurry, but the surface is easy to see.
The most conspicuous thing in the entire floating land center area is the snow mountain, and it was also detected that a large number of snow beasts gathered in the snow mountain.
Considering the duration of the projection and the relationship between exploration and harvest, Yuan Xinglu simply gave up the exploration of the edge.
Anyway, he has no scientific exploration mission. For him, the goal is to collect as many resources as possible, such as some spiritual plants on the snowfield, or... the snow beast itself.
"In the original Shacheng Projection, those departments with exploration rights killed so many blood bats and made a lot of money.
For example, Jiusi gained a lot that time, and Shen Shanjing was always arrogant in front of me.
This time the situation has changed, Shen Shanjing's men are gone, but we have it. This is called a windfall. Everyone must try their best to hunt down the strange beasts, kill them, and then move them out as soon as possible.
I have a hunch that these creatures are covered in treasures."
This is what Yuan Xinglu said in the camp before setting off.
After entering, he also practiced this, abandoning terrain exploration, directly attacking the snow mountains and hunting snow beasts!
It's a pity that the environment here is really bad for humans. It's dark at night and the field of vision is insufficient. We can only drag and fight a few simple battles. The department was frustrated and failed. Finally, we waited until dawn and all the supplies and weapons were ready.
, the little lapels are all eager to try it.
"Commander, everyone can't wait any longer, give the order to attack." The little lapel gasped.
"What's the rush?" Yuan Xinglu smiled and said, "We've been waiting all night, and we still have such a long time to go? After spending a whole night in this cold place, everyone's physical strength was exhausted.
I doubled the potion and rationed it, as well as the food. The wind and snow at high altitudes were too heavy for the helicopter to fly smoothly. I ordered them to go down to eat first, and the fire cultivator heated the food.
When you’re full, let’s start the war again. By the way, are the explosives ready?”
"It's already in place, just waiting for the order to be filled in."
"Okay, let's go." Yuan Xinglu waved his hand and said.
Not even half a minute after this man left, he suddenly turned back.
"Is there anything else?" Yuan Xinglu asked curiously.
The little lapel hurriedly said: "Report, the underground exploration team encountered a strange spiritual plant, and I need to show it to you."
As he spoke, he reached out and took out a plastic sealed bag. Inside, there was a white flower.
Immediately, he told the story of his discovery, including the fact that it grew on the corpses of some strange animals.
Yuan Xinglu held the plastic bag and felt the rich spiritual energy contained in it. He couldn't help but be moved: "This concentration... is actually a top-grade spiritual plant? This kind of quality is very rare. The conditions here do not allow it. Wait until it is over.
Let’s find a laboratory for further research and collect them all first. By the way, is this the only one?”
Little Lapel shook his head: "No, not one plant, but a clump!"
…
underground.
In a particularly wide cave, about a dozen Liusi lapels were standing in a circle, staring at a snow pit in front of them.
At this time, the snow pit had been melted by the fire summoned by the fire practitioners, so they could clearly see a group of scattered corpses in the pit.
Under the ice, there was no sign of decay, and they were lifelike. There were twenty or thirty corpses, densely stacked, with at least one white rose growing on each one, and as many as three or four.
Because this scene was really strange, they did not pick it rashly, but took one from the edge and asked people to return to the ground and handed it over to the chief executive for judgment. They waited here, waiting for orders.
"Sister, tell me, are these flowers poisonous?"
At the edge of the snow pit, Li Yu, wearing a pink and white down coat, whispered softly.
Next to me, my sister Li Jin said helplessly: "Ask me, who should I ask? How about you try eating it?"
"Then forget it..." Li Yu shrank his neck, obviously he didn't have the courage. Not all the spiritual plants of heaven and earth are good, and some of them are highly poisonous.
One of the more well-known incidents is that when the spiritual energy was first opened, a strong national practitioner picked spiritual plants and secretly ate them, and was poisoned and died instantly.
The paralyzing potion in the hands of the Black Organization is extracted from a poisonous spiritual plant.
"Sister, tell me, how did these strange beasts die? I can feel that they were definitely very powerful when they were alive.
For example, there are these guys, they have been dead for so long, and I still feel scared just looking at them. I guess, when these guys were alive, many of them were probably fifth grade, sixth grade... or even seventh or eighth grade.
Powerful life.”
Li Yu couldn't stand idle any longer. Seeing the silence around him, he muttered again.
This time, Li Jin did not shake his head. After thinking about it, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Do you still remember the video that was played on the floating land before?"
"Is it the part about the man in black?"
"Yes, I guess these may have been killed by the mysterious man back then. Perhaps only someone as powerful as that can kill them so easily." Li Jin sighed with emotion.
"Speaking of that mysterious man... are you actually Senior Cheng? Anyway, I think he must be, but many people are questioning it."
"This... I also believe it must be Senior Cheng, but I still need some evidence. I haven't seen Senior Cheng's message this time. I believe that as long as we find the message, we will be able to prove it."
"But where is the message? I didn't see it at all along the way. Do you think Senior Cheng was too lazy to write it this time..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? How can you guess the thoughts of seniors? Maybe it is hidden somewhere we didn't pay attention to, or even if it is really not written, it must have profound meaning..." Li Jin looked serious.
Analyzing.
Suddenly, her tone stopped.
"Why didn't you say anything?" Li Yu wondered.
"Don't make any noise, listen, there seems to be a voice approaching!" The attentive Li Jin stopped her and said in a solemn tone.
At this moment, the other lapels beside them also noticed something unusual and looked around one after another.
Sounds came from the passages in all directions, front and back, left and right, even above the head and under the feet. Everyone could only hear sounds like tides, tsunamis, and thunder. Listen carefully, and there are also sounds mixed in.
's roar.
A man with a lapel suddenly changed his expression: "It's a strange beast! There are many of them!"
A sturdy little lapel from the physical system next to him looked calm: "What are you afraid of? There are so many of us, and we can kill as many as we come, and we will all contribute."
"Are you sure?" one person said in a weak tone.
This sound doesn't sound like dozens of them, I'm afraid there are more.
The leading captain looked grave and suddenly said: "Everyone, retreat immediately!"
"But these flowers..."
"Don't worry about the waste! Lives are important!" the captain shouted sternly, but then, they faced a new difficult problem, "Which way to retreat?"
The snow beasts seemed to follow some order and surrounded them from all directions. For a moment, they didn't know which way was better to evacuate. After all, no matter which way, there were enemies.
After just a moment's hesitation, the group of attackers had already arrived, and a large number of snow beasts were seen rushing out from the passages in different directions almost at the same time, and all of them were second-grade or above!
The expressions of the little lapels of the Sixth Division changed one after another. The next moment, the attack came, and the leader shouted: "Line up to meet the enemy!"
…
at the same time.
About five hundred meters away from here, under the ice, in a small cave, Cheng Lin, who was sitting cross-legged and meditating, suddenly opened his eyes:
"Xiaocao, follow me!"
Cao Wei, who was nibbling biscuits next to her, was startled: "Did you find flowers again?"
"It's not just flowers, there are people." Cheng Lin stood up suddenly, with a serious and heavy expression, "Something happened above, follow me up, pick flowers, and save people!"
