From the time travel, I became extraordinary

Sitting quietly beside the campfire, Jiang Yao frowned and remained silent for a long time.

There are too many unknown risks in Death Valley.

The animals they brought with them entered the valley one after another, and the various things they encountered had already clearly proved that this was not a guess, but an indisputable fact.

He used the art of possession to possess the sheep. If the things he found were not of great value to Jiang Yao, he would definitely not be as conflicted as he is now.

Going back to the camp and gathering some more livestock is not a difficult task, but it will definitely take some time.

After all, when he talked about livestock with Zhao Zhengping and others last night, Zhao Zhengping had said that there were only a dozen pigs and sheep left in the camp. If more were needed, they could only be mobilized from surrounding cities.

Although it is still unknown whether there are other monsters in the Death Valley, the lair of those mantis monsters is definitely there.

If we really have to waste several days because of the livestock issue, who can guarantee that those Heavenly Dao Fruits will still be there?
This supreme sacred object, which would be of great help to him in entering the realm of heaven and man, would slip away from his hands if something unexpected happened, even Jiang Yao would be filled with regret.

"The safe path that has been paved out is only about ten to twenty meters away from the location of the Heavenly Dao Fruit."

"If we really want to get a few people in as consumables, it shouldn't take much time to successfully find a safe passage."

"But I just can't bear to let these innocent soldiers go in and die!"

"I am a good person in every way, except that I am too soft-hearted and often become overly chaste."

"As the ancients said, a general's fame is built on the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers. With my honest character, I definitely can't become a general!"

……

As the thought turned over and over in his mind, Jiang Yao let out a long sigh.

Around the bonfire, Fang Weidong, Da Zhuang and others were rolling up their sleeves and eating roasted lamb with relish, and several of them had oil dripping from their mouths.

"This roasted lamb tastes absolutely amazing!"

"Yes, I have never eaten such a crispy and tender barbecue in my life. It can almost be said to be extremely delicious."

"Nonsense, why don't you take a look at who roasted this whole lamb? Can Mr. Jiang's cooking skills be bad?"

"It's delicious, but this roasted lamb requires a lot of water. The bottle of boiled water I brought with me is all gone. If anyone has some, give me some."

"Barbecue has to be spicy to be strong. I'm a Sichuanese and I started sweating after eating two pieces of barbecue. It would be strange if you, a Hakka, dared to stuff roasted lamb into your mouth without sweating!"

……

The ancient tradition of not talking while eating or sleeping has basically disappeared in this era.

The people around the campfire were basically all soldiers. While they were eating meat with big mouthfuls, they naturally did not forget to chat and laugh with the people around them.

When in a foreign world, Jiang Yao often slept in the wilderness and honed his barbecue skills, which could indeed be considered first-class here.

After all, as a warrior, his five senses are far more acute than those of ordinary people. When grilling meat, he can clearly understand the slightest changes in the color and smell of the meat under different temperatures.

Most people were very satisfied with the taste of the roasted whole lamb he made, and I didn't hear a single bad review from them.

Of course, there must be some people who were flattering Jiang Yao, and what they said was a little insincere.

However, this situation is very normal. After all, everyone present comes from all over the world and there are huge differences in taste.

Some people like light taste, some prefer sweet taste. This kind of roasted lamb that is so spicy that people sweat all over after one bite is definitely not something that everyone likes.

Jiang Yao saw everyone's reactions, but he didn't care at all.

"Mr. Jiang, all the livestock we brought have been consumed."

"Should we continue to stay here or go back to the camp directly?" Fang Weidong, the leader of the group, had already stopped eating after eating two pieces of roasted lamb.

Seeing that there was almost nothing left of the roasted whole lamb in front of him and that most of it had been eaten by everyone, he smiled and looked at Jiang Yao next to him, tentatively opened his mouth and asked a question.

Following Jiang Yao all the way to the entrance of Death Valley, they were all safe and sound. They were much luckier than Deputy Captain Huang and others mentioned by Da Zhuang.

After staying here for such a long time, they saw that the sky had gradually darkened and it was not far from dusk. However, they were driving the livestock into the Death Valley, but it seemed that they had not tested anything.

Now, all the pigs and sheep that he brought have been consumed. According to his idea, he definitely hopes to return to the camp as soon as possible.

After all, Jiang Yao had just said that this area was probably much more dangerous than before, and there was also the lesson of Captain Huang and his men.

If he really didn't go back to the camp, he would have to stay here overnight. Fang Weidong was unsure and felt very nervous.

Of course, his thoughts can only represent his own. How to do it depends on Jiang Yao's intention.

"Don't worry about returning to the camp."

"Later, I might go to Death Valley alone to take a look!"

With his brows furrowed, Jiang Yao hesitated for a long time.

Finally, he sighed, spoke slowly, and responded.

These ordinary people in front of him entered the Death Valley. Even if he could use his ghost to forcibly take over their bodies, he really had no confidence that he could guarantee that they could return safely.

After all, the body of an ordinary person is too fragile.

Although the art of possession can forcibly control the opponent's body, the gestures will definitely be extremely clumsy, and cannot be as smooth and natural as the opponent controlling his own body.

The Death Valley is filled with too many unknown dangers. Even the slightest negligence could cost the life of an ordinary person.

It would be better for Jiang Yao himself to enter the Death Valley than to let them enter.

With his life-saving skill of concealing his true self, even if he accidentally encounters some kind of accident, it should not be a big problem for him to escape unscathed.

"Ah..." After Jiang Yao finished speaking, not only Fang Weidong, but also the others were shocked and exclaimed.

"Mr. Jiang, are you going to enter Death Valley?"

"That place is a forbidden place for all living things. Once you enter, there is no way back!"

"We have tested it so many times just now, and none of the animals driven into the valley have ever come back alive."

"That place is too dangerous. Your decision is too rash."

"Although the leader has repeatedly told us to strictly follow your orders, I believe that neither I nor anyone else present would agree to your entering Death Valley!"

……

With a serious face, Fang Weidong advised kindly.

All along, he had always done whatever Jiang Yao said, but at this moment, he had a determined look on his face and a firm tone, and for the first time he started to disobey orders.

"Fang Tou'er is right, Mr. Jiang, please think twice!"

"Everyone knows what kind of place Death Valley is. If you enter there and something unexpected happens, what will happen?"

"If the leaders knew that we failed to dissuade you, they would be furious. None of us present here can bear this responsibility."

"You have done a great job in clearing out the mantis monsters outside Death Valley. You don't have to risk your life to enter the forbidden area of ​​Death Valley!"

……

Following Fang Weidong, the other people present also began to speak one after another.

Their words of consolation were full of emotion and sincere, and seemed to come truly from the heart.

It’s a pity that Jiang Yao only follows his own inner thoughts when doing things, and it is difficult for other people’s words to have any impact on him.

"I have made up my mind. Your persuasion will not have any effect except making me feel disgusted." Jiang Yao shrugged and smiled coldly.

He took out a cigarette, lit it, took a few deep puffs, and said again: "Once you enter Death Valley, it will take a while to get out."

"Without me here to guard this place, there is no guarantee that you will not be in danger if you stay here."

"You guys have almost finished your food, I'll give you a ride and take you to a safe area outside." "After you go back, please tell Captain Zhao to mobilize more animals to your camp. I will definitely use these things later."

"Remember, I am not discussing with you, I am ordering you."

"If you really want to disobey my orders and stay here, you can, but I definitely won't bother to care whether you live or die. I can only let you fend for yourself."

……

Jiang Yao spoke these words in a very decisive manner, and his words were full of unquestionable meaning.

The safe place that he had already waded out of in the Death Valley was only a dozen or twenty meters away from the location of the Heavenly Dao Fruit. However, he had no idea how much time it would take to find a safe passage in that environment.

He let Fang Weidong and the others leave first. He really had no bad intentions and it was all out of good intentions.

After all, although these people were not his subordinates, they followed him all the way to the entrance of Death Valley at his request.

He couldn't care less about other people, but as for the people he brought with him, he definitely hoped to ensure that they could return to the camp safely to the best of his ability.

"Okay, Mr. Jiang, please take us to the safe area outside!" Jiang Yao's words made Fang Weidong and others look helpless and silent for a long time.

Knowing that they could not defeat Jiang Yao, they had no way to deal with it.

After looking at each other, the group led by Fang Weidong, although somewhat unwilling, finally nodded and did not continue trying to persuade Jiang Yao.

No one would joke about their own life. Before what happened with Deputy Captain Huang, no one had dared to go back to a safe place outside. They did not reject Jiang Yao's kindness, which meant they accepted it.

After quietly packing up their luggage, they set off at Jiang Yao's call, walking quickly along the same route they came.

Before we knew it, the sun set, dusk fell, and night began to cover the earth little by little.

One kilometer away from Death Valley, in a relatively open area.

In a position consisting of an off-road vehicle and several military trucks, more than a dozen fully armed soldiers with live ammunition patrolled around from time to time and guarded the surroundings.

Several bright lights, accompanied by the roar of engines, came from afar, attracting everyone's attention.

"There is no human habitation within a hundred miles of this place. Those vehicles should have come from the camp."

"It has been two or three hours since Da Zhuang and his men dragged the monster's corpse out. If we're not careful, it's almost dark."

"It's already this late, and we haven't returned to the camp yet. They might be worried about something unexpected, so they sent someone to check here."

"Let's go and greet him. We don't know which leader he is!"

……

The soldiers on guard here looked at each other, nodded, and then, led by a lieutenant, headed straight for the oncoming cars.

In just a few minutes, two military off-road vehicles, one in front and one behind, found a place nearby and stopped.

"Where's Deputy Captain Huang? He's not here?"

"Who is in charge here now?" The car door opened, and a man who seemed to be a major by rank got out of the car, surrounded by several soldiers.

This man is called Yang Guoping, and he is also one of the senior leaders of the camp. However, in terms of position, he is slightly lower than Huang Yongqiang.

As he spoke, he glanced around, and then his eyes fell directly on the lieutenant who was coming towards him.

"Reporting to the commander, Deputy Captain Huang has led his men into the area ahead to search for monsters, but they haven't come out yet."

"My name is Li Dashun, and I'm in charge here for the time being!" The lieutenant trotted up to Yang Guoping, stood up straight, saluted, and responded.

"It's already dark, why haven't you come out yet?" Frowning slightly, Yang Guoping looked at the area in the distance.

Unfortunately, dusk had already fallen, and the terrain over there was uneven, with many obstacles blocking his view. After looking for a long time, he couldn't make out anything.

He retracted his gaze and looked at Li Dashun again: "Before nine o'clock in the morning, Deputy Commander Huang brought people out."

"After being out there for so long, what have you gained?"

"What is the situation in that area? Have you heard from those who have come out of it?"

Standing here, Yang Guoping had already seen that the military truck not far away seemed to be loaded with the corpse of a mantis monster.

With a friendly smile on his face and speaking, he walked straight forward surrounded by the crowd.

"Report to the commander, for now, we have only found two monster corpses."

"We asked the brothers who brought the monster's corpse out about the situation inside."

"According to them, it's very safe inside, and they haven't seen any living monsters."

……

Li Dashun accompanied Yang Guoping respectfully and responded as he walked forward.

Having said this, he paused for a moment and was about to add a few more words to report to Yang Guoping that Deputy Captain Huang and others inside had lost contact for two or three hours.

But before he could finish his words, Yang Guoping nodded with a look of relief and said, "Did you find two monster corpses?"

"That's good, that's good."

"The experts who stayed in the camp value this thing very much."

"They haven't seen you guys go back to the camp, so they couldn't let it go. They went to the regiment headquarters and volunteered several times to come here in person."

"Captain Zhao was also harassed by these experts and had no choice but to ask me to bring people over here to check out the situation."

"With these two monster corpses, those experts can finally give them an explanation."

"I'll arrange a few people here to drive the two Mantis corpses back to the camp first, so that the experts don't have to wait impatiently and keep complaining."

"As for Deputy Captain Huang, he should be coming out soon. I will stay here and accompany you to welcome our great hero!"

……

In the time it took to say a few words, Yang Guoping and others had already approached the truck loaded with the monster's corpse.

Although the night was getting dim, at such a close distance he could still see the terrifying and hideous appearance of the Mantis Man in the truck.

He was mentally prepared for this, and he was very calm, still with a sunny face. He nodded with satisfaction.

"Commander, there is movement in the area ahead."

"There were lights, voices, footsteps, and the rubbing sound of something heavy being dragged along the ground."

"It should be Deputy Captain Huang and his men who have returned. I just don't know how many monster corpses they found and brought back here this time!"

……

A soldier on guard, with a happy face, trotted all the way to Yang Guoping and reported respectfully.

When he finished his report, the noise coming from the area ahead had become much clearer from its previous vagueness.

Be it Yang Guoping and others, or Li Dashun and others who stayed behind here, they all raised their heads and looked straight in that direction.

Under the cover of night, the situation more than a hundred meters away was naturally a little blurry for them, who were just ordinary people.

However, although they could not see the appearance of the people coming, they could still confirm without a doubt that a group of people were dragging heavy objects towards this side.

"It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early!"

Yang Guoping laughed and waved at Li Dashun and the others: "Let's go, Lieutenant Li, I will go with you to welcome Deputy Colonel Huang and the others..."

While he was speaking, he had already taken the lead and headed straight in that direction. (End of this chapter)
