Chapter 57 - rebuke
Team Xia is not scary, but Team Cheng is too scary. When they think of Team Cheng’s outburst of temper, all the newcomers tremble in their hearts. They don’t want to feel the taste of putting soil on their faces.
“Forget it, don’t get together here. Brother Li is right. If we have this time, we might as well go to the water pool to stand guard. If we kill a hare, we can explode the treasure chest. Captain borrow a weapon.”
In the stalemate, some of the newcomers put forward suggestions and took the lead in the direction of the water pool.
Someone took the lead, and the other dazed newcomers also dispersed. With Li Mingcheng’s successful case in front, the newcomers cooperated with each other in twos and threes, scattered around the pool, and each waited for the prey to come.
Of course, it is uncertain whether it is the newcomers hunting animals or the predators hunting newcomers.
If they encounter small animals such as hares and squirrels, it is still possible for newcomers to kill them. Using human ingenuity, dig a pit as a trap, drive the prey into the trap, and use the most primitive stones as weapons to kill the prey.
But if you encounter a wild wolf, the situation will be reversed, and a new person will flee in embarrassment.
Fortunately, the main goal of the wild wolves that will appear here is to drink water. Pay attention in advance, and you can still avoid them. If you really can’t avoid it, just run in the direction of the skeleton cavalry, and you can still be protected.
So, stumbling, the newcomers were forced to adapt to the way of life in the endless world. It didn’t take long for many newcomers to have harvested and killed their prey.
But over time, new contradictions appeared among the newcomers, that is, the ownership of the treasure chest.
Few newcomers choose to act alone, and most of them cooperate with familiar newcomers, but the fruit in the treasure chest that burst out is only enough for one person.
When the newcomers faced the scorching sun and worked for a long time, they couldn’t kill a single prey, and they managed to kill a few prey but didn’t explode the treasure chest at all. So, when a treasure chest finally exploded, the meager friendship between them was more than that of the treasure chest. In terms of temptation, it is too fragile to be attacked.
Because there are more and more conflicts over a treasure chest, it eventually evolves into whoever is close to the treasure chest will desperately grab the fruit and eat it in one bite.
But in this way, the cooperation naturally cannot go on. The original group of three or five newcomers gradually fell apart. The experienced newcomers firmly believed that they could solve the prey by themselves. In the end, the thirty newcomers were divided into twenty. a.
The result of the fact that the newcomers are too scattered is that the skeleton cavalry and the ghost bats have a bit of difficulty in protecting all the newcomers. If they are not careful, they may not be able to take care of them.
After a while, an accident happened.
The newcomer, who was busy chasing the hare, did not notice the python next to him with similar colors and colors. Unprepared, he was directly bitten by the neck of the python that suddenly erupted. Without even a cry for help, he suddenly fell to the ground and gradually lost his sight. breathe.
The newcomer who noticed the scene nearby screamed, attracting the attention of others. At this moment, the wild wolves that had been ambushed behind the hillside in the other direction took the opportunity to rush out and pounced on the two people who had already been killed. A newcomer who has his eyes on and his attention diverted.
Even if the skeleton cavalry came to the rescue in time, the two targetted newcomers were unavoidably injured.
In the other direction, the daring newcomers even stared at the wildebeest, but they failed to attack and angered the wildebeest. The wildebeest rushed over and knocked the two newcomers who provoked them into the air.
The newcomers who were hit by the accident one after another gathered in one place again. Some newcomers felt that it was too dangerous to fight alone and were trying to contact new partners. As long as everyone agreed on the distribution method of the treasure chest in advance, there is still hope for cooperation.
The other six newcomers were holding four wounded and were going to find the captain.
Li Mingcheng, who had been standing in front of the tent, gave up a bottle of recovery potion and a roll of bandages he had obtained for the injured, but insisted that he would not let the newcomers get close to the tent.
“Do you still have a conscience? Are you still a person? They are all injured! If you don’t get timely treatment, you will die! Can you take responsibility?”
“That’s right! You elm head, you can’t tell your priorities! If the captain knew that you were wasting lives, he would definitely want you to look good!”
“Old Li, don’t use chicken feathers as an arrow, Team Cheng just told us not to disturb us casually, but now there’s a big incident, someone is injured, you’re still here to stop it! If you ask Team Cheng, you stop blindly! “
…
The newcomers who felt that they were on the side of justice were very angry, and frantically pushed and abused Li Mingcheng who was blocking the way.
Li Mingcheng resolutely refused to let them pass, and scolded:
“The medicine is already given to you, but you should give it to them soon! Don’t blame me for being rude if you rush up!”
“Why do you want to be rude and shoot at us? You are shameless. Did the Xia team give you weapons to shoot at your own people?”
“The surname is Li! If you really have the skills, you can shoot! Go! Let’s see if Team Xia will teach you a lesson or teach us a lesson!”
“Go ahead! If the captain knew we were here to save people, he wouldn’t blame us!”
…
The six newcomers who tried to rush up were not only not frightened by Li Mingcheng’s threat, but even more excited. Li Mingcheng wouldn’t really take out a laser gun to attack people. One of them didn’t stop him, and he was pushed to the ground by several people, bypassing him, and the six newcomers continued to charge up.
The Gorefiend, who had been wagging his tail lazily in front of the tent, stared at the newcomer running towards the tent with his blood-red eyes. He slowly stood up, and the bull’s hooves dug on the ground before suddenly rushing over.
The speed and strength of the Gorefiend Ox are not something that newcomers can resist. With one rush, all six newcomers were knocked over, leaving only a groaning sound.
After dealing with the newcomers who were forcibly approaching the tent, the Gorefiend Ox slowly walked back to the tent, lay down and continued to wag its tail, appearing gentle and harmless.
The six newcomers who fell to the ground and Li Mingcheng, as well as the newcomers who were discussing cooperation to hunt prey in the distance, didn’t come to join in the fun were all stunned. They thought that these strange creatures sent by the two captains were to protect them, who would have thought Even attacking them?
Xia Ruize was awakened by the sound outside, and he heard the noise outside in a daze. He opened his eyes and reacted for two seconds before realizing where he was resting.
Carefully removing the arm that was pressing on his waist, Xia Ruize wanted to get up and climb down around Cheng Huaiqian, but before he could move two steps, Cheng Huaiqian’s arm came up again.
“It’s still early, let’s sleep a little longer.”
Cheng Huaiqian said in a daze, but the movements in his hands did not relax, making Xia Ruize unable to walk.
The system in his mind told Xia Ruize that they had slept for two hours, and it was already past two o’clock in the afternoon, so he could not help but said, “It’s getting late, I woke up.”
Xia Ruize moved Cheng Huaiqian’s arm away again, but he didn’t expect Cheng Huaiqian to wake up too, rubbed his eyes and sat up, stretched comfortably.
This satisfaction and happiness even allowed him to temporarily ignore the irritability caused by the faint noise outside the tent.
Cheng Huaiqian bought a lot of desert camouflage-colored combat uniforms from the Lord God, some of which were suitable for Xia Ruize, and now decided to share them with Xia Ruize. The two of them are wearing the same clothes.
Xia Ruize really didn’t expect his teammates to be more careful in life than himself. The tents and clothes were all life products that he hadn’t paid attention to, but it was really practical in this situation.
Putting on combat uniforms and smart boots, the energetic two finally walked out of the tent after getting full of sleep, but as soon as they went out, they were pushed back by the oncoming heat wave.
Xia Ruize sighed, this kind of harsh living environment is a test of human endurance. If you have been suffering in the wilderness environment, you will gradually get used to it, but there is a refreshing and comfortable air-conditioned tent in the middle, which is really encouraging. I can’t afford to have the courage to return to the cruel environment!
Of course, after the feeling was over, it was time to go out. Xia Ruize was about to open the door again, but Cheng Huaiqian suddenly turned over and took out a pair of sunglasses for Xia Ruize to put on, and then he took one for himself, and went out first.
When the two of them appeared at the entrance of the tent, the wailing voices of the newlyweds who were lying on the ground couldn’t help but grow louder.
As Cheng Huaiqian walked down the hill, he shared half of the fruit burst from the animals killed by the little skeletons during the nap to Xia Ruize. The two of them each took a piece of fruit and stuffed it into their mouths as they walked. The various states continued to increase.
Eating a few more red fruits that can fill your stomach will not feel supportive, but it will take longer to not feel hungry, but it will not affect the improvement of agility.
“What’s going on here?”
Cheng Huaiqian glanced at the newcomers all over the floor, and then glanced at the newcomers a little further away, a move in his heart, if he counted correctly, there seemed to be fewer people?
“Team Cheng! You have to decide for us! He’s not a good thing…”
A newcomer was about to complain loudly, but seeing Cheng Huai lazily making a pause gesture, he could only shut up reluctantly.
As soon as Cheng Huaiqian grabbed his hand, an invisible hand grabbed the back collar of Li Mingcheng, who was lying not far away.
“Tell me.”
Li Mingcheng was excited. He could first say that at least he would not let the people on the other side talk nonsense and create a bad impression on the two captains. He quickly explained everything that happened during Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian’s nap in a simple and clear manner.
“Huh? Python? Wild wolf? Wildebeest?” Cheng Huaiqian walked towards the injured four newcomers and mocked: “You guys are really capable, don’t you ignore what I said? Tell me how you measure your own strength. Yes, you dare to provoke anything, why don’t you go to heaven?”
This time, the newcomers dare not speak. Even if the two captains are not there, they have always been protected by the skeleton cavalry and ghost bats. How can they think that they will be too separated from each other and will not be protected enough?
Cheng Huaiqian walked to the injured newcomer, briefly checked the wound, and said directly:
“Five fruits for a bottle of recovery potion, two fruits for a roll of bandages, you can choose for yourself.”
“Ah? But we don’t have one! Team Cheng, save us, we’re dying of pain…”
The newcomer, who was tearing a piece of flesh from his leg by the wild wolf, sweated profusely in pain, and looked at Cheng Huaiqian pleadingly.
“I didn’t force you to give it now, but you will owe it.” Cheng Huaiqian sneered, “Your life is too fragile to stand up to you. If you don’t teach you a lesson, you really treat me as a doctor.”
“What about us? Team Cheng, we were hit by your cow!”
The six newcomers who were hit by the Gorefiend bull on the other side were in a hurry. They were also injured. Team Cheng couldn’t ignore them, right?
Cheng Huaiqian beckoned, the skeleton cavalry quickly rushed over on the skeleton horse, and stopped beside the fallen newcomer, Cheng Huaiqian pointed at the skeleton cavalry, “So, you have to thank my cavalry for protecting you, so that’s right, no If you want more, let each person hand in ten fruits.”
“what?!”
As soon as these words came out, all the newcomers were startled and looked at Cheng Huaiqian in horror. Team Cheng was trying to steal money!
But seeing Cheng Huaiqian’s face sinking, he glanced around, all the newcomers who were looking at him couldn’t help but take two steps back, Cheng Huaiqian said coldly:
“It seems that Team Xia has protected you so well that you can’t recognize the reality for a long time. Why, take us as your bodyguards? Do you have to work hard and protect you?
Why should we keep you safe? Why should I heal you?
If you don’t know it, the veterans usually take newcomers like you who can’t do anything but cause trouble, and require all newcomers to hand over all the proceeds as protection fees.
If it wasn’t for Team Xia taking pity on you and wanting you to live longer, do you think I would agree to distribute your profits? Give you a good look, don’t you remember your surname? “
Cheng Huaiqian actually didn’t bother to exploit the pitiful profits of the newcomers, but he wouldn’t say so directly.
“Now, people with kill records in their hands are standing here.”
Under the deterrence of Demon King Cheng, sixteen of the twenty-nine newcomers gradually came out.
“Show the contents of your watch.”
With another order, Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize checked all the personal information and task reminders of the sixteen newcomers, and had a general understanding of the newcomers’ basic data.
“The rest of the people don’t seem to dare to do it. Okay, you are too wasteful to care about you. You’d better keep your mouth shut and keep quiet. You have no right to speak in front of me if you don’t kill them.”
After mocking the remaining newcomers, Cheng Huaiqian asked the sixteen people who were barely classified as “trash”:
“Think about it now, do you want to follow me and Team Xia honestly?
If you want to follow us, you can borrow weapons from us at the cost of handing in half of the profits. Of course, getting weapons does not mean that you have the right to speak, so keep your mouths shut! “
Cheng Huaiqian is too fierce. When he reprimanded with a cold face, it seemed that there was overwhelming pressure, and the pressure was so overwhelming that no one could stand up. None of the newcomers dared to speak or express any dissent. It’s best to narrow down your sense of existence, so that Team Cheng can’t see them.
“Come to us after you figure it out.”
The last sentence left, Cheng Huaiqian pulled Xia Ruize, and the two walked towards the water pool.
The whole process of Cheng Huaiqian’s madness, Xia Ruize stood beside him and said nothing, and the newcomers couldn’t see the expression of Xia Ruize who was covering most of his face with sunglasses.
But Team Xia didn’t stop Team Cheng from going mad, and to a certain extent it seemed to hint at Team Xia’s intentions. This realization made the newcomers very frustrated.
Seeing that Cheng Huaiqian was about to leave, several of the injured were at first unable to bear it, and they all promised to return the corresponding fruits and then borrowed the healing medicine from Cheng Huaiqian. Then everyone watched the backs of the two captains walk away.
“The pool is getting smaller.” After walking around the small pool, Cheng Huaiqian affirmed, “I just don’t know if it’s because the temperature is too high or because the water was drank.”
“Let’s observe again. Anyway, the water pool is still a good weapon for attracting monsters. We are guarding here and animals will bump into them.”
Xia Ruize touched Xiao Hei in his hand when he spoke. Xiao Hei and Da Hei rested in the pet space for a while, and then asked to come out to play. Of course, Xia Ruize would not stop them. One hangs on his hem.
At this moment, Xia Ruize was stunned, because Duan, who finally woke up from a sweet dream in the pet space, found that the other two partners were not there, and immediately realized that they were secretly going out to play, how can this work? It also has to go out and play!
So Xia Ruize let out Duoduo again, Cheng Huaiqian poked the fat Dudu’s wings and laughed ruthlessly: “What’s the use of this thing?”
Dumbly, who was questioned, released a bit of pheromone angrily, hum, just wait and see its performance.
It’s a pity that the pheromone, which usually works immediately, didn’t attract anything this time, and was completely stunned. He felt that Xiang Zongsheng was being questioned.
Xia Ruize smiled and touched the little guy to soothe its hurt heart.
At this time, three newcomers took the initiative to come over and promise Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian cherishly:
“Team Xia and Team Cheng, we want to borrow weapons. After that, we will follow your orders seriously, and half of the treasure chests we harvest will be handed in on time. We are absolutely obedient!”
Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian looked at each other, seeing that their teammates had no objection, Xia Ruize asked directly, “What weapons do you want?”
Of course, the newcomers wanted laser guns. It didn’t take long for the five laser guns stored in Xia Ruize’s space to be borrowed from the equipment warehouse. Only the one rewarded by the system was kept by him.
In order to make room for him, Xia Ruize put most of the weapons and energy boxes he had collected in the room of Endless World, and only brought a few spare parts with him. Unexpectedly, the whole world has been lent out.
Newcomers who came to express their loyalty later could only borrow cold weapons such as crossbows and broadswords.
In the end, a total of twelve newcomers took the initiative to express their willingness to follow the two captains wholeheartedly, that is, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian had a lot of weapons in stock, otherwise they might not be able to supply so many people.
This is a two-way selection process. Newcomers are choosing, and Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian are also deciding whether to stay or not based on their impressions of these newcomers.
After lending out the weapons, Cheng Huaiqian no longer had a completely stocking attitude towards these newcomers. While attacking, he would give some pointers from time to time. If his attitude could not be so bad, the newcomers would definitely thank him even more.
The other dozen or so newcomers were active nearby, trying to cooperate with each other to hunt animals, desperately trying to prove that they could live well without Cheng Huaiqian.
At this moment, Da Hei and Xiao Hei suddenly rushed into the arms of Xia Ruize, who was sitting at a high place, aiming to kill the prey at will. The information they sent back surprised Xia Ruize, and there were actually a large group of wild animals approaching the water pool. .
Hearing this unusual information, Xia Ruize couldn’t help but look at Dian on his shoulders, only to see Dian carefully wrap his wings around himself, trying to shrink himself smaller.
“Hey, does it actually work?”
Cheng Huaiqian was very happy, holding his wings, he lifted Dawn up and shook it. If Xiang insects can still attract other animals to approach in this world, wouldn’t they have a better monster sucking artifact?
The two gathered all the newcomers to the small hill, and witnessed a large number of animals gathering around together.
Five elephants headed, three cheetahs, eight wild wolves, a herd of bison, a herd of porcupines, a herd of wildebeest, a herd of vultures, a herd of eagles, a herd of elk, a herd of hares…
All kinds of wild animals appeared in the sight of the new people at the same time, and gathered towards the location of the small water pool.
Many newcomers hid behind the two captains subconsciously, and there were more animals gathered this time than those gathered around the small water pool before they came here.
The newcomers are guarding the water pool at noon. Although there are small animals trying to slip to the water pool from time to time, they are only a small number of sporadic appearances. It is rare for a large number of animals to suddenly appear like this, not to mention that there are still body shapes inside. Scary elephant.
“Release a little more next time, understand?”
Cheng Huaiqian, who was standing on Xia Ruize’s left, leaned over, hugged Xia Ruize’s right shoulder, lowered his head and instructed Duan on Xia Ruize’s left shoulder, but his breath all got into Xia Ruize’s ear, causing him to shrug and hide.
Realizing that he was still a sturdy Xiang insect, the little wings immediately waved happily, and even wanted to fly to Xia Ruize’s head, but Cheng Huaiqian grabbed him and pressed Xia Ruize’s shoulder.
Cheng Huaiqian personally arranged targets for several newcomers with long-range weapons, and then Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian took the lead, kicking off the attack.
Xia Ruize uses a sunburst bow, which can shoot five arrows at most with one bow. The attack efficiency is comparable to that of a laser gun. After a few rounds of drawing the bow, all small animals and animals flying in the sky are eliminated.
Next, arrows with enormous power were shot out one by one, and large animals such as wild wolves, cheetahs, bison, porcupines, wildebeests, etc. could not resist and fell to the ground one after another.
Cheng Huaiqian aimed at the largest elephant from the very beginning, and the black **** popped out of his fingertips ambush one by one into the huge body of the elephant. Until Xia Ruize had time to shoot an arrow, he would cooperate to detonate the magic energy. Cooperate with Xia Ruize to kill the prey with one arrow.
This batch of attracted wild animals was not enough for Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian to rush to the pressure, but they were finally able to let them go and fight.
The newcomers who hid behind the two and only shared part of their prey were frightened by the two captains who were full of fire. They clearly realized that where the wilderness is scary and animals are scary, the captain is really scary!
After all the attracted animals were resolved, the matter was not over. Cheng Huaiqian took out the newcomers who participated in the attack and trained them one by one.
