Chapter 353 [The Strange Wilderness]

"With Taiyue City as the center, the area within 350 kilometers is very safe compared to the rest of the wild mountains and wilderness. Of course, we can't let our guard down and we still need to maintain the necessary vigilance."

Jiuri warned the two that he had survived all these years without any problems and his vigilance was absolutely impeccable. He was completely different from those people who relaxed after being vigilant for a few times.

"Divide into two teams, one at the back and one at the front, three kilometers away from us." Then he began to command the prohibited warriors.

Upon hearing this, the ten criminals immediately formed a team and decided who would be in front and who would be in the back in a few words.

"I've been in many pioneer groups, and I've found that people in the middle have the lowest mortality rate. No matter what happens to the two groups in front and behind, it's enough for the three of us to escape. But it's not absolute. Sometimes, people in the middle of the group will get into trouble. Anyway, it all depends on luck."

"."

It would be strange if Mr. He and Shi Si believed Jiu Ri’s lies. They have never seen a man whose luck has remained consistent for 17 years.

"Hey?"

I saw a figure running towards me from the front.

"Stop, or I'll detonate the collar!"

Jiu Ri shouted immediately, not even caring whether the shouting would attract the demons. The figure running in front of him stopped very obediently.

"Stand there and talk to me. Don't make any more movements."

The two people beside him looked at each other.

This team leader is really damn cautious!
"Captain Nine, something happened. Our people were walking and suddenly they were covered with flowers. The rest..." The person who came to report the news was interrupted before he could finish his words.

"Did you take preventive measures at the first opportunity?"

"Yes! After seeing that boy covered with flowers, we immediately made way for him, held our breath, and used our strength and [jutsu] to cover our entire body."

"???"

He Sheng and Shi Si stared with their eyes wide open. What does it mean that strength and [skills] are spread all over the body, and there is also this kind of operating technique.

"Change the route, go to the two o'clock direction, and avoid that area." After saying that, Jiuri left a mark on the ground and led the two people to change direction.

On the way, he explained.

"We pioneers call that thing the Red Spider Flower. Legend has it that the Red Spider Flower is the only flower that blooms in the underworld. If you see a Red Spider Flower, you are dead.

The division of the red spider lily will flow through the air and drill into the body of the organism to absorb nutrients and grow. When entering the body, it will release substances that block perception, and it will not be discovered until the flower blooms.

It only takes five minutes for it to bloom after entering the human body. Many newcomers who enter the wilderness for the first time die at its hands.

They both held their breath at the same time. Why didn’t you tell me earlier?
"Don't worry. The red spider lily is cruel to living things, and even crueler to its own kind. After it blooms successfully, pollen within a radius of 500 kilometers will be attracted by the substances it secretes, and then absorbed as nutrients for itself. Compared to flesh and blood, that pollen is more tempting."

So, why do you ask them if they have taken protective measures?
Seeing the inquiry in the two men's eyes, Jiuri chuckled.

"I just want to know if they are keeping alert. If they are not of much use, I will use them as shields. Once the mission is completed, I will find out what happened in the mine base.

When we return to the city, even if something happens to the four of them, I won’t save them if I can. Is it a waste of food to save a bunch of useless people who have no sense of vigilance in the wilderness? "

"."

Over the past decade or so, how many times have you done similar things?
"Captain Nine, we heard that man just say that the power and [jutsu] are all over the body. What's going on?"

"Master He, that's because they are in prison and have no resources, so they have to find another way out. Warrior, warrior, what is a warrior? Before the fifth level, Qi and blood are the foundation.

Without sufficient Qi and blood, or in other words, essence, energy and spirit, how can one perform [Spells]. [Spells] consume a lot of essence, energy and spirit.

They were a group of people with nothing to do in prison, and they had no resources to practice. Could they not practice the use of strength and [techniques] in detail?

In fact, it can only be said to be so-so. It is useful, but not very useful. It is useful because they do reduce their own consumption of various energies.

It's useless, haha. In a wilderness where even a sixth-level warrior can't guarantee his own safety, can I use my strength and [Spell] a few more times? Is it useful?
Besides, if you want to achieve their level, it will take five or ten years, most people don’t even dare to think about it. With so much time, it would be better to learn another horizontal training kung fu. "

The next day went smoothly for the group of twelve people and nothing out of the ordinary happened.

"call--"

In the tent, Jiuri exhaled a large puff of smoke.

"Based on my experience, it would be best if a few more accidents and deaths occurred before we reach the mine."

No, Captain Nine, do you hate banned warriors so much?

"I'm not exaggerating. After more than a decade of pioneering, I have learned a lot. Accidents happen one after another on the road, but they are not the kind of weird things that cause large-scale deaths.

Normally, our mission will be completed smoothly. When we return to the city, there won’t be any very, very, very dangerous things happening.”

After saying that, he took another puff of his cigarette.

After he exhaled the smoke, he continued.

"Once that happens, when the road is calm and extremely smooth, we must be vigilant. Otherwise, the matter of the stronghold is so big that the wilderness can't help but give us a little warmth.

Otherwise, the mine base will be fine. However, when we go back, there is a 99% chance that something terrible will happen that will cost us our lives."

After putting out his cigarette, Jiuri found that the two men were staring at him.

Ninety-nine percent of accidents?

Have you ever experienced one percent of nothing?

"Why are you looking at me? I've been a pioneer for more than a decade and have experienced a lot. I've only encountered a few smooth missions. The probability is very low!"

"In short, you two must not come up here to mess around, and insist on going down into the mine with me."

The two nodded, they were not stupid.

How could the federal government's base in the wild not have a master in charge? According to the rules of the wilderness, even a level 6 warrior couldn't guarantee his own safety, so there might be a level 7 warrior in the base.

For such a ferocious character, if the stronghold says there is no news, then there is no news. Going down the mine is just seeking death.

"Let me first tell you two about the location of the mine. First of all, the mine is located in Taiyue City, 3,500 kilometers away at the twelve o'clock direction.

I don't know what kind of ore they are mining. But the confidentiality level must be very high. I have been pioneering in the wilderness for many years, and I have the right to view basically all the news about the wilderness.

Secondly, there are a total of 781 people in the mine base. Five sixth-level warriors, 25 fifth-level warriors. The rest are all fourth-level, third-level, and second-level prohibited warriors. "

"Is there no seventh-level warrior in charge?" Shi Si asked in doubt. It would be a bit strange if such an important stronghold did not have a person who could make the final decision.

"Something went wrong while practicing, and I became possessed seven days ago. The people at the mine base sent me back to Taiyue City for recuperation. I heard that if things go wrong, all my cultivation might be gone.

For a while, the federal government could not find a suitable seventh-level warrior to take charge, so it had to be temporarily delayed. Who would have thought that just a few days later, something went wrong at the mine base.

The seventh-level warriors all have their own things to do. How can they have the time to sit in a stronghold? In addition, people who can cultivate to the seventh level have no shortage of resources, so the conditions given by the Federation are not attractive enough.

If it weren’t for the original seventh-level warrior, the sixth-level warrior in the mine stronghold was suddenly promoted. In fact, there was no seventh-level warrior in charge of the mine.

Having said that, if there were no dangerous things and hordes of demons in the wild, it would indeed be a good place to practice. I am sure that the mine will be of great benefit to us warriors."

"Swish"

Outside the tent, something like an animal was crawling.

Jiu Ri put his index finger in front of his lips, signaling them both not to make a sound.

"Swish"

"Swish"

Inside the tent, three people held their breath.

After about fifteen minutes, the rustling sound gradually faded away. Even so, Jiuri still did not move and continued to remain silent.

The other two looked at each other, hoping that the other nine forbidden warriors would remember the warning given by Bai Rijiu today. Otherwise, there might be more casualties depending on the situation.

"呲呲."

There was a zipper sound, and it was obvious that there was an idiot in the tent outside. I felt that there was no threat after the sound faded away, so I couldn't help but want to stick my head out to take a look.

As a result, the next second the zipper sound was heard.

"Swish"

The crawling sound that had just disappeared without a trace suddenly rang out.

"what--"

The screams only lasted for a moment, and then there was no sound at all.

"Swish"

"rustle."

"sand"

The crawling sound disappeared again, and Jiuri finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Clap!"

The flame leaped up and lit a cigarette.

"call--"

After taking a big sip, the other person's mood immediately eased a lot.

"It's been more than ten years, and I still can't face the strange things in the wilderness calmly." Jiuri said self-deprecatingly. In fact, it's human nature. Who can face the strange things that can kill people at any time without changing their expression?

"I don't know what that thing is. In the past, the federal government wanted to capture a video using technology. Then, a team took on the task.

When they came back, none of the twenty or so banned warriors used as bait survived. I heard that. All the recorded videos did not show a single hair.

The entire pioneer group testified that they did hear a rustling sound similar to crawling, and could even sense something crawling in the camp.

But the camera couldn't see it, and there was no trace of crawling on the ground. The illegal warrior used as bait disappeared without a trace in an instant after the tent was opened.

And just when they disappear, the video will suddenly turn into a snowflake. Some researchers said that some signal, magnetic field or something was greatly disturbed, causing the camera to be unable to record. "

"Gudong-"

Shi Si swallowed his saliva and said in a weak tone.

"Can I ask, what is the highest strength of the warriors who disappeared because of the rustling sound?"

"Sixth level!"

Jiu Ri replied.

"The federal government was unwilling to give up, and later made several attempts. From the beginning, they increased the target to the sixth-level warriors. After that, they stopped the experiment of capturing the video and sealed it."

Level six!

It's really scary that it's gone just like that.

"It can't be a ghost, right?"

When Shi Si was a child, he loved watching horror movies. He could not help but watch them while peeing.

No other reason, excitement.

"Haha, I can only say that everything is possible. I won't be surprised by anything that happens in the wilderness. Even if I run into a so-called god, I think it's normal."

Jiuri really believed so. In this strange wilderness, all impossibilities are possible.

"Do you know the Master Craftsman among the Three Gods of the Federation? It is said that the master has an extremely poor talent. It is said that he became a first-level warrior because of God's mercy.

So, this guy risked his life to join the pioneer group. It was just a one-time group trip, and he was the only one who came back alive. After multiple investigations by the federal government, he was released.

Later, a master craftsman was born. Tell me, what on earth could allow a person who has only been a first-class warrior all his life to become a famous master craftsman in the Federation?
The federal government didn't ask, the prominent families didn't ask, and they even helped to conceal it. If there weren't some shocking secrets, I would never lead a tour group in the wilderness again."

Shi Si's eyes widened. Could it be that the master craftsman had such a past?
He tilted his head and found He Sheng looking at him with a puzzled look.

He blurted out the answer without even thinking.

"My uncle had never left the city before he became the Pillar of Heaven."

After saying that, he put on the same expression as the man named He and asked.

"Brother Sheng, can I ask you if you ever left the city when you were a kid?"

Did you get hit on the head by the master craftsman’s hammer?

I'm just a little kid, what can I take out of the city?

As for Shi Si, he regretted it after he finished speaking, as the question was indeed a bit stupid.

"Go to sleep. Let's take turns keeping watch."

"Don't you want to go out and take a look?"

Upon hearing this, Jiuri laughed.

"There's a sand dollar to warn them, don't worry. Besides, according to several experiments by the federal government, that thing is very principled. One night, only one person is needed.

Even if someone is really curious and has to come out to see it, they won’t die. Unless they are unlucky enough to encounter some other strange things that happen at night.”

besides?

Gan!
"Tell me about it, Captain Nine."

"Master Shi, there is a saying in the wilderness: Ignorance is sometimes a good thing. The pioneers found that the more people know about some things, the greater the probability of them happening.

At the same time, this is also the reason why when the pioneering group is carrying out some missions that seem to have a high mortality rate, they like to look for those forbidden warriors who have never set foot in the wilderness, and the newcomers who are fighting for a future. "

Five words suddenly popped up in He Sheng's mind.

Newbie protection period?
