Gao Wu: Starting from Awakening the Bloodline of the Demon King
Chapter 165 Giant Beast
After these two days of getting along, he has figured out Fang Ming's temper. He is a very decent and responsible guy, and even seems a bit dull because of it.
With Fang Ming's cultivation and combat prowess, he probably plays the role of captain in various tasks, so that his serious and responsible attitude has been deeply rooted in his bones.
If he didn't understand Fang Ming, Su An would even suspect that the other party was deliberately placed by his side.
The moment more than 200 soldiers entered the ruins, they immediately showed the fighting qualities of senior extraordinary beings.
Under the command of Zhu Feng and a tenth-level soldier, the team was divided into several parts to perform their own duties, including the lead exploration team, the left and right wing guards, and the scouts who climbed up the branches of the giant tree and were responsible for lookout and warning. Everything you need.
Su An saw that the backpacks of the pioneers and scouts had been replaced so that they could move more quickly with light equipment. The replaced backpacks were borne by people of lower rank who were temporarily organized as baggage troops and support teams.
The team's medical supplies were pooled together to form a medical corps.
The entire team was like a precise and efficient machine, searching and advancing in a battle formation in an orderly manner.
"Captain Zhu is very good at commanding." Su An, who was walking in the center of the team, said with emotion.
Zhu Feng has broken through the realm and is now a ninth-level warrior. Like Fang Ming, he has entered a new world because he has accumulated enough due to stimulation.
Fang Ming was stimulated by the fact that his original team was broken up, while Zhu Feng was ridiculed too much by Jiang Bai.
"Captain Zhu was originally an instructor at the military base." Fang Ming gave the information he knew. He and Zhu Feng have a good temperament and have become very familiar with each other.
"That's it." Su An said clearly.
When Jiang Bai first heard that Zhu Feng was his teacher, Su An thought it was an ordinary school, but after thinking about it, he should understand why the teachers and students in ordinary schools are all soldiers, and they have to be punished by running laps on the playground. Two hours of running?
"Captain, do you feel that our team is a little special? Or a little strange?" Su An asked Fang Ming.
The composition of the soldiers in the team is very simple. Some are from the Zhongshan Kingdom and some are from the Yan Kingdom, but they work together quite well. What is even more rare is that after the temporary commander is elected, he immediately imposes orders and prohibitions.
In the battles of the past few days, there was no one who was unruly, like Xu Rong, who would cheat and act sneaky during the fight, and just run away when the situation was bad.
This is a temporary team of more than 200 people, and it should be a mixed bag. After all, there are many experienced soldiers among them.
After hearing Su An's reasons, Fang Ming shook his head: "I don't think so. The battles have been going smoothly these days, and there are still several generals protecting us, so there is no need for cheating.
"If the battle situation is not good next, this situation is likely to happen. We have to be more careful. Again, you two have to follow me closely."
Su An nodded, feeling that what Fang Ming said was reasonable, so he said no more.
The team advanced in an orderly and silent manner. For half a day, they did not encounter any obstruction. Not to mention the cold guns of the demon monks, they did not even see the shadow of the opponent.
After half a day, the team discovered various things worth noting.
The first is the giant tree. The scouts have found out that the giant tree is really the residence of the ancient monster monks. Many giant trees have been partially hollowed out, and the space inside can often reach dozens of square meters.
Unlike today's human cities, these residences have basically no partitions and have not been divided into rooms. Therefore, they appear empty and can be seen roughly at a glance.
The daily utensils are very simple, or rather natural. The tables, chairs, cups and plates are all made of wood and have not been painted. The teapots and stoves are simple in shape, but the craftsmanship is frighteningly high. The technical content is high, but it does not look like it is made by machinery.
There were very few objects in the residence, not many of note, and none of them of value. The only thing that caught the team's attention was the faintly broken formation in the residence.
Zhu Feng came to the conclusion after simple research that the formations were integrated with the giant trees, and most of them were used to gather the force.
The giant tree as a whole has been transformed into a large formation that can absorb the force of heaven and earth. It can also be integrated into the large formation of the entire ruins and introduce the power of the universe. The small formations in the giant tree can draw the force from the giant tree. They are concentrated into the central area of the residence and provided for monks to practice.
Because we haven't encountered a complete formation, we don't know how powerful the formation is, but it must be very large.
Most of the day later, the team had traveled dozens of kilometers.
Everyone was a level six or above warrior. Although they needed to be on guard, they were still moving very fast. As the exploration area deepened, everyone discovered more and more residences, not only giant trees, but also mountains of all sizes. There are residences, or caves, scattered around.
The same simple furnishings, the same nothing valuable found.
At dusk, the team stopped and prepared to camp, not intending to travel at night. Jiang Bai's reminder still rang in his ears. Although he didn't suffer any accidental harm that day, no one dared to be careless.
"It seems that the demon clan has already searched it, but they should have taken away anything useful." Zhu Feng sighed.
"Should we speed up our journey a little? The ruins are vast and cover hundreds of kilometers. We have only traveled less than fifty kilometers today. It is too slow."
Someone suggested, "At least we have to catch up with the demon clan first, otherwise we will get nothing, and they will get to the treasures in the ruins first."
After a day of exploration, the team has discovered a pattern. The deeper they go into the ruins, the more traces there are of the activities of the ancient demon monks.
The "library", "weapons depot", "research institute" and other buildings are said to be in the high mountain area in the center.
"No, we didn't encounter any abnormalities today. It's probably because we didn't go deep enough. We only stayed in the 'suburbs' and didn't enter the 'main city'.
"Once you go deep into the 'main city', there will be more traces of demon activities, and various abnormalities will follow. You must be careful."
Fang Ming remembered Jiang Bai's advice: No abnormality found does not mean there is no abnormality.
In the end, the team decided to continue exploring at today's speed tomorrow, and decide whether to speed up the process depending on the situation. In short, safety comes first. If there is a treasure, you must have a life to get it, and you must be able to get it back.
Late at night, Su An was meditating when he suddenly heard Fang Ming's voice: "There's something going on!"
Opening his eyes, Su An found that Zheng Nanzhi, who was sitting cross-legged opposite him, had already stood up, and Fang Ming was jumping down from the branch:
"The people on guard duty at the perimeter noticed someone approaching and immediately prepared for battle!"
Under the leadership of Fang Ming, Su An and Zheng Nanzhi climbed up the high branches of the giant tree and found a position with a relatively wide view. Before they could carefully observe the outside position, the buzz of Force firearms suddenly sounded!
Level [-] sniper rifle!
Su An, who held the fourth-level "Eagle Strike" in his hand, immediately recognized the level of the Force firearm.
The location of the gunshot was not too far away from the giant tree where he was, which meant that it was fired by one of his own, and the other party should be a level [-] or [-] expert who was on duty at night.
The sound of the gunshot was like a signal. As soon as the gunshot fell, the quiet night was suddenly thrown into the frying pan, and suddenly it became a bustle!
Su An first felt the vibration of the giant tree, like a slight earthquake, one after another, like thousands of troops running.
At the same time, strange and ferocious roars sounded like thunder, one after another, one wave higher than the other, as if stabbing the den of a wild beast.
Su An felt the cruelty and anger in the roar, but couldn't tell what animal it was, or he had never heard of such an animal.
Then there was loud gunfire in the outer area of the camp, flares were raised one after another, and the flames of the Force grenade explosion appeared in groups.
Even though they were hundreds of meters away, Su An was able to capture the attacker immediately because of his high enough position.
He couldn't help but gasp.
It was indeed not an animal he was familiar with. No other animal had such a huge size and could run and jump between the branches of giant trees, leaping tens of meters at a time.
The black shadows were like wolves and tigers, but they were more than ten times the size of tigers and wolves. Under the lush hair of various colors, Su An could see the bulging muscles from a distance!
"What is this? There are so many damn things!" Fang Ming, who was calm and dull, couldn't help but curse at this moment.
Giant beasts were attacking from all directions. Some were running and jumping like apes, some were on all fours like cheetahs, and some were flying in the air with wings on their backs. They were so densely packed that it was hard to see the exact number.
But you can be sure that there are definitely more soldiers than the team!
Fang Ming and Zheng Nanzhi shot one after another, and Su An was not idle either.
After setting up the Eagle Strike, he immediately tried to lock on to the target. After searching for a long time, he found that he had no confidence that he would hit the target with one hit. The opponent was too fast. Even though he was huge, he walked as fast as flying. Moreover, he was covered by the branches and leaves of giant trees, so it was extremely troublesome to lock on.
Su An only feels this way when facing soldiers of level eight and above!
In the blink of an eye, the giant beast at the front had already rushed to the outer guard position. Su An could see clearly through the scope, a black shadow like a goshawk swooped down, ignoring the atomic bullets hitting its wings. Knocked down a level six soldier at the cost of blood!
The soldier's body was pierced by sharp claws, and when he flew backwards from the branch, the goshawk's sharp claws brought out his bloody intestines!
Su An's eyes flashed, and the eagle strike suddenly roared!
The fourth-level atomic bullet flew out, taking advantage of the opportunity for the goshawk to pounce on the sixth-level soldier, and accurately hit its chest, and a bloody light shot out!
The goshawk froze and flapped its wings vigorously. When its feathers were flying, it opened its mouth and let out an unbearable scream. After a few struggles, it fell to the ground unable to do anything.
"Where did these giant beasts come from, and why would they attack us in a premeditated manner?" This question came to Su An's mind as he pulled the bolt of the gun.
The giant beasts were of different species, so they were organized to move together. Moreover, the two sides did not meet each other during the day, and the team did not notice them. However, they chose to attack in the dead of night, which was obviously premeditated.
With Fang Ming's cultivation and combat prowess, he probably plays the role of captain in various tasks, so that his serious and responsible attitude has been deeply rooted in his bones.
If he didn't understand Fang Ming, Su An would even suspect that the other party was deliberately placed by his side.
