Coupled with Gao Hexuan's status as a veteran, wild animals rarely attack him actively, so that Gao Hexuan still hasn't discovered the key to this mission world after such a long time. For basic survival needs, I just bury my head and walk around looking for food and water sources that don't really exist.
Gao Hexuan had actually been lying here for several hours, he was too tired, hungry and thirsty to walk, but he found that he would not really crash, so he just lay down and put himself in standby mode to reduce consumption.
Drowsily falling asleep and then waking up, Gao Hexuan seemed to see fireworks in a trance, and fell asleep for a while, Gao Hexuan suddenly remembered that he also had fireworks to release for help, and with the attitude of giving it a try, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian's attention.
Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian really suspected that if they hadn't rushed over, Gao Hexuan, a practitioner with mission experience, might have consumed himself to death.
This speechless ending was not only thought of by Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian, but also by Gao Hexuan himself, who was immediately ashamed and lowered his head with a flushed face.
But searching through the space, he had nothing to repay the two of them, so he could only secretly make up his mind that he must kill a lot of wild animals in the future to obtain the treasure chest and return it to the two of them.
"What are you going to do next?"
Cheng Huaiqian asked patiently.
Confusion flashed across Gao Hexuan's eyes, he thought for a moment, and asked cautiously, "Can I follow you?"
The reason why he bravely made such a request was that Gao Hexuan had doubts about his ability to survive in this kind of task world that was completely unfavorable to his abilities, and secondly, he wanted to follow Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian so that he could repay the fruits owed to them .
"Since the newcomer who should be protected by him has been picked up, it is not too much to pick him up again."
Cheng Huaiqian didn't know what to think of, and offered to propose. Xia Ruize naturally had no objection.
Gao Hexuan was very grateful and sincerely thanked him.
Then I saw Cheng Huaiqian release the Blood Demon Ox, stretched out his hand and lifted Gao Hexuan who was sitting on the ground to the back of the Blood Demon Ox, and then, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian rode in front, and the Blood Demon Ox followed behind with Gao Hexuan on its back, and they went to Return in the direction of the camp.
"I'm a little curious about the topography of this world now. At first we walked in different directions. Why did we come to the same place after walking for two days? Is this a coincidence, or is there another reason?"
Cheng Huaiqian approached Xia Ruize, smiled and chatted about his latest doubts.
The day before, the six trainees were finally divided into four groups and headed in four different directions. Cheng Huaiqian thought that the distance they walked in the direction chosen by Xia Ruize was not too close. The group of tattooed men and Gao Hexuan, who looked more embarrassed, moved only a little less than them
"I think we may not be walking in a straight line, and I found a detail, the color of the soil is getting darker."
Xia Ruize pointed to the ground. The color of the soil was light yellow the day before, and it gradually turned to light brown today. However, this color change is very subtle and slow, which is when Xia Ruize detected it through the ability of space backtracking. abnormal.
Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize were chatting side by side in front, Gao Hexuan was so happy that no one paid attention to him, and lay on the back of the blood demon bull, bouncing on the verge of falling asleep.
On the way back to the camp, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian met Cui Fu and Xu Ruoran's team.
Cui Fu and Xu Ruoran ran over excitedly when they saw the two on the horses from a distance, shouting as they ran:
"Boss! Boss! Please take care of me!"
Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian continued to go forward to meet them. Gao Hexuan, who was on the back of the blood demon bull, was woken up behind him, and half raised his head to look at a group of people running in the distance.
"So brother Xiao Gao is asking for help? Huh? Brother Xiao Gao, are all your new recruits dead?"
Cui Fu and Xu Ruoran who ran to the front also saw Gao Hexuan, and immediately realized that it was Gao Hexuan who released the fireworks to ask for help.
The two of them took a step forward the day before, and they didn't see that Gao Hexuan left the newcomer and walked alone. At this time, they were surprised to see that only Gao Hexuan was rescued. Naturally, they thought that the newcomers protected by Gao Hexuan had accidents, so they were pleasantly surprised that they were not the last one. In the miserable group, Gao Hexuan's level of leadership is obviously not as good as theirs.
Gao Hexuan bowed his head in shame and couldn't say anything.
Cheng Huaiqian was amused, and replied for him: "Only one of the people he led died, so it's better for you to worry about yourself."
There are only nine newcomers left behind Cui Fu and Xu Ruoran, of which Xu Ruoran has five, Cui Fu has four, and Cheng Huaiqian seems to be able to imagine the embarrassment of their journey all the way.
Xia Ruize noticed that Cui Fu and Xu Ruoran were extremely embarrassed, so he quickly eased the atmosphere and asked, "What's the matter with you?"
"Ahem, Boss Xia, don't you think it's going to be nine o'clock soon? It will be dark when it gets to nine o'clock. We don't know how to go tonight, so we just want to ask the two big brothers Take it in for one night, we will help each other as a team, and we will separate in the daytime tomorrow without any further disturbance."
When the topic returned to business, Cui Fu immediately became serious.
They also had no choice. After Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian left just now, Cui Fu and Xu Ruoran, who were feeling a lot about their strength, suddenly remembered that it was going to be dark soon. Instead of walking alone all night, they might as well go with the boss's team. , have a look after each other, and the safety can be more guaranteed.
"We found a cave to rest, and we are not going to hurry at night. If you accept it, you can come together."
Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian looked at each other, exchanged opinions quickly, and did not refuse.
"Okay, okay, thank you two big guys."
Although he was a little surprised to hear that the two bosses were not planning to hurry, Cui Fu didn't dare to be picky, and quickly nodded in agreement.
Therefore, when Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian left the camp, they were two horses and two horses, but when they returned, they followed behind.
Because there were people walking behind, the return journey took more than an hour, and the newcomers who stayed at the foot of the mountain were already waiting anxiously, guarding the fire to protect the path up the mountain, looking forward to the return of the two captains.
When Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian gradually approached the foot of the mountain, the expressions of the people on both sides were a little stunned when they met.
The newcomers following Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian did not expect that they would have the opportunity to see other newcomers, but the condition of the other newcomers did not look very good, except for their two eyes, they were all covered in dirt, and they could not see clearly. Can't even tell who is who.
Wearing a green watch, the rookie who was supposed to follow Gao Hexuan looked at Gao Hexuan who was lying on the back of the blood demon bull, and felt a sense of gratitude in his heart. Fortunately, they chose to stay at that time. If the ten of them followed In terms of Gao Hexuan, there might only be four or five people left now.
On the other side, the newcomers following Cui Fu and Xu Ruoran looked at the newcomers opposite, and couldn't believe their eyes.
Although many of the newcomers on the other side had dirty and torn clothes, at least their faces were clean and they could be seen. The most important thing was that they were all full of energy, not like they were hungry or thirsty at all. How can they eat the fruit
He was full of doubts in his heart, but on the outside, the rookie who was behind Cui Fu and Xu Ruoran couldn't help but straighten his back slightly due to exhaustion, not wanting to be completely compared.
For a moment, except for Xia Ruize's voice introducing the two parties, there were no other voices. Except for Gao Hexuan who was silent alone, everyone else was looking at each other and thinking about it.
Just after Xia Ruize's introduction and the atmosphere was completely silent, Cheng Huaiqian suddenly asked:
"I think you can fight for another hour, what do you think?"
"yes!"
As soon as Cheng Huaiqian finished speaking, the twenty-three newcomers answered loudly together. No matter how shocked they were by the arrival of the guests, they did not dare to distract themselves in front of the Great Demon King Cheng.
"Go, clear up the camp."
Cheng Huaiqian reached out and patted Xia Ruize on the shoulder twice, and pointed to the six newcomers who were excluded from the core team with the other hand.
Although these six people were clearly rejected by the two captains, they obediently obeyed the orders and did not dare to do anything, for fear that they would be kicked out of the team and the game would be over.
Xia Ruize has tacitly made Daidai to release pheromones in small amounts and many times.
After ordering his subordinates, Cheng Huaiqian turned to invite Cui Fu and Xu Ruoran:
"You can follow the six of them to camp, and then you can rest."
Cui Fu looked blankly at Cheng Huaiqian and then at the newcomer holding a weapon in the light of the fire, and asked dryly, "Aren't you two resting?"
"Get ready for a midnight snack, don't rest yet."
Cheng Huaiqian replied casually, and then waved his hand to signal that they could leave, while he himself stood at the forefront of the position, looking into the darkness in the distance, as if he was waiting for something.
Cui Fu and Xu Ruoran didn't dare to say anything more, and climbed up the mountain with the newcomer behind them. However, looking at the six newcomers who belonged to Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian but did not have weapons in their hands, Cui Fu couldn't help asking in doubt:
"Little brother, what are you waiting for?"
One of them rolled his eyes and lazily replied: "What are you waiting for? Waiting for the treasure chest."
"Ah? Then why don't you go?"
How could someone not participate in such a good thing as the treasure chest, Xu Ruoran asked in disbelief.
All six of them rolled their eyes now, why didn't they go? Why else, the captain didn't bring it! I don't want to answer this question at all.
Not getting an answer, Cui Fu and Xu Ruoran looked at each other, only seeing the endless confusion in each other's eyes, they couldn't help but slow down, and looked back from time to time while walking, as a result, it didn't take long for them to see an astonishing scene.
A dozen or so cheetahs appeared in the area illuminated by the fire, and charged straight at the newcomers on the ground.
"what!"
Xu Ruoran and the newcomers behind him couldn't help screaming, and the newcomers subconsciously hid behind Cui Fu and Xu Ruoran.
Cui Fu hurriedly asked, "Let's go help!"
Before Cui Fu could take a step, the newcomer next to him grabbed his clothes. Cui Fu looked over and saw that there was no tension on the other side, only impatience:
"You can't just go over and make trouble. If Cheng Dui gets angry, everyone will be scolded."
Those lucky guys on the battlefield are all lined up, and if an outsider who doesn't know the inside story is added casually, it may not only be of no help but also disrupt the formation.
Besides, with two captains in charge, where do they need support
Being so delayed, Cui Fu and Xu Ruoran failed to rush up immediately, and then watched helplessly as a dozen cheetahs were first killed by Xia Ruize's arrows, and then blocked by Cheng Huaiqian's long knife. The cheetah was slipped behind him.
The newcomers behind Cheng Huaiqian formed a group of four, one group confronted a cheetah, and cooperated with each other to besiege the cheetah. And Cheng Huaiqian stopped the rest of the cheetahs by himself, until Xia Ruize drew his bow for the second time to finish them off.
Cui Fu, Xu Ruoran and even Gao Hexuan all stared at this scene with wide eyes. Witnessed by their own eyes, those rookies who were not in their eyes actually cooperated to eliminate the cheetah? !
Although several groups of newcomers were severely reprimanded by Cheng Huaiqian for their cooperation problems, the final result was that three treasure chests burst out, and someone from each group put them away, and two of them took out the fruit and stuffed it into their mouths and ate it. up.
Seeing this scene, the newcomers who followed Cui Fu and Xu Ruoran almost bit their lips with jealousy. They tried their best to please the two experiencers, and tried every means to get a fruit. available? Is it possible to eat as much as you want
No wonder they are in such good condition, they don't look thirsty or hungry, and they are even full of energy, it's all because they have fruits to eat!
Seeing this scene, the guests all forgot to continue walking up, and all stood in place to watch.
The attack of the cheetah is not the end but the beginning. Afterwards, various wilderness animals are constantly besieging them. Cheng Huaiqian at the forefront of the position is the most solid line of defense. He only leaks suitable prey to the newcomers in the rear. Apart from this, there is no wilderness Animals can break through his defenses.
Xia Ruize, who was standing at a slightly higher position, was like a mobile fortress. Arrows shot out of his hands like streamers, and animals in the wilderness fell one after another.
The rookies in the melee at the front line will retreat to Xia Ruize when they are tired, and keep attacking with strangely shaped hot weapons.
Cui Fu, Xu Ruoran, and the newcomers behind them were all dumbfounded, and stood there watching for half an hour. During this time, they only saw countless wild animals rushing up, and then all of them were killed.
Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize naturally gained a lot, but those newcomers also gained a lot, basically they received one to three treasure chests.
Finally, the exhausted newcomers gradually retreated from the front line. After an hour, all the newcomers were exhausted and collapsed on the ground. Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian also stopped attacking after finishing off the last wave of prey.
"Let's go, go back."
Cheng Huaiqian didn't say anything when he saw Cui Fu and others standing on the side of the mountain. He waved his hand and directed the newcomers to close the team, and they went back to the hare's nest halfway up the mountain.
He himself walked behind Xia Ruize, rubbing Xia Ruize's shoulders while walking, and the two walked back talking and laughing.
The newcomers under him naturally followed behind them, calculating how much fruit they should hand in today as they walked.
As for Cui Fu and Xu Ruoran, they followed cautiously at the end.
A fire was lit in the cave. This cave, which was originally a hare's nest, was protected from wind and cold. It is much more comfortable for people to stay inside than to be exposed to the wind and sand in the wilderness.
But what Cui Fu and Xu Ruoran didn't expect was that they could have more comfortable treatment.
Cheng Huaiqian actually owns a tent! Soft beds in tents! They can also draw water from the tent and lend it to the newcomers to barely wash their faces and hands.
Cui Fu and Xu Ruoran licked their dry lips. To them, water is precious, but to the boss, water is actually used for washing
"This water is not drinkable."
Li Mingcheng noticed the eager eyes of the guest, and quickly explained.
Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize sent their newcomers and guests back to the cave and left again. The two of them were not exhausted enough to rest, so they continued to kill the prey.
They were not there, only Li Mingcheng could enter their tent and pour out basins of clean water for his teammates to simply wash up.
Before, Cheng Huaiqian couldn't bear to see that the newcomers who followed him were dirtier than the next, so he generously gave up some water for the newcomers to wash. The only order was that the newcomers could not drink the domestic water.
Cheng Huaiqian's rookie is of course obedient, no matter how thirsty he is, he dare not drink.
Now that guests came, Li Mingcheng didn't dare to give water to them on his own initiative, but they kept staring at them eagerly, so he had no choice but to explain.
Xu Ruoran really couldn't take it anymore, got up and went out to find Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize, she couldn't stand the pain on her body anymore, she must borrow water to wash up today!
Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize were actually sitting on the edge of a cliff lower than the cave, chatting and shooting their prey with laser guns.
After Cheng Huaiqian heard Xu Ruoran's request, he pondered for a moment and replied:
"Water can be lent to you, but you must promise not to drink it."
All food and drinking water in the space of Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize were blocked, only the water storage function of this tent remained.
Cheng Huaiqian guessed that the reason should be that the tent's instructions clearly stated that the water collected from the air and condensed can only be used for living, not for drinking.
What Cheng Huaiqian is worried about is that if someone drinks the water recklessly, the function of collecting domestic water in the tent will be forcibly blocked. Sleep comfortably, no one can spoil this treat.
Xu Ruoran naturally agreed. After Li Mingcheng came to confirm it in person, he fetched water for Xu Ruoran. Xu Ruoran was finally able to wash his hands and face properly.
However, except for Xu Ruoran, no one else dared to bother Cheng Huaiqian, anyway, it was already so dirty, so just bear it.
The night was getting dark, and several fires were burning in the cave to keep everyone warm, and those who hadn't fallen asleep chatted quietly around the fire, mainly because Cui Fu and Xu Ruoran were curious about the way Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize led the newcomers.
Just like they never expected that Gao Hexuan would directly give up the points of the rookie representatives, they also didn't expect Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian to train their rookies to join the battle.
But now, two different leadership styles collided, and compared with their way of protecting newcomers throughout the whole process, it was clear at a glance which was better.
Under the leadership of Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian, the newcomers have also become a powerful auxiliary force. Not only did they not burden the two testers, but they also helped them a lot. At the same time, the newcomers themselves also benefited.
However, under Cui Fu and Xu Ruoran's way of leading the team, not only were they under enormous pressure, but all their attention was devoted to protecting the rookies, and they didn't even care about killing more prey to get more treasure boxes. At the same time, the rookies didn't get too much Much gain.
The more they got to know each other, the more silent Cui Fu and Xu Ruoran became. On the contrary, the newcomers on both sides enthusiastically exchanged their experience of living under the hands of different experienced people.
Seeing Cui Fu and Xu Ruoran's rookies cowering and miserable, the newcomers who followed Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian felt lucky. They were lucky to follow the right person, so in just two days, they and the former Other newcomers at the same starting point opened up a huge gap.
After chatting until exhausted, everyone found a comfortable position and barely fell asleep. There was even the sound of snoring in the cave.
It was not until late at night that Cheng Huaiqian and Xia Ruize returned to the camp. Cheng Huaiqian still set up his tent at the entrance of the cave to block the cold wind, and kept a distance from other resting places.
After taking a comfortable hot bath and lying on the bed, Xia Ruize began to calculate today's harvest.
They fought for a whole day today, and there were more than 20 newcomers who had been trained to help them fight for a whole day. Although the strength of the wild animals was not as easy as the day before, the benefits of the fruit were still higher than that of the previous day. Rich the day before.
The newcomers got attribute points ranging from 0.8 to 1.5 respectively, and handed over nearly 20 attribute points to the two captains.
In addition, Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian have gained even more.
93 yellow fruits that can increase the power attribute popped out, Xia Ruize kept 43 and distributed 50 to Cheng Huaiqian.
154 red fruits that can increase the agility attribute burst out, Xia Ruize kept 74 and distributed 80 to Cheng Huaiqian.
Eighty-nine blue fruits that can increase the attribute of mental power exploded, Xia Ruize kept 70, and distributed 19 to Cheng Huaiqian.
There were 122 ginkgo fruits that could increase physical attributes, and the two divided 61 of them.
In just one day, the total physical attributes of the two of them increased by about 30 points. Such a huge gain made Xia Ruize and Cheng Huaiqian who were sitting on the bed sharing fruits laugh very happily.
Cheng Huaiqian looked at Xia Ruize and smiled tenderly. Only half of his happiness was due to the improvement of attributes, and the other half was due to the happiness of his teammates.
Feeling his teammates' eyes, Xia Ruize restrained his smile inexplicably, and the small and airtight tent suddenly fell into silence.
Cheng Huaiqian squeezed his fingers, coughed lightly, and started a topic that he had never talked about before:
"Have you ever thought about what kind of person you would like?"
Xia Ruize looked at his teammate in surprise, but saw his teammate's eyes firmly fixed on him, his eyes were full of anticipation, Xia Ruize's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a bit, hesitated for a moment, and finally answered with a smile:
"I really didn't think about it..."
"how could be?"
Cheng Huaiqian asked eagerly, his body leaned forward, his handsome face turned in front of Xia Ruize, and he looked at him suspiciously and eagerly.
Although the teammate's hidden meaning is that Cheng Huaiqian is satisfied that he has no lover now, but the literal meaning of this answer makes Cheng Huaiqian a little uneasy. It's not a student who is still in school, so he will always consider some important life-long events.
