Chapter 299: Relics in the Death Jungle
While Wen Ning was exploring the Morning Forest.
A certain area.
Jungle of Death.
"Master, there's something wrong with this river."
The robot alerted Lu Shi who was near the river.
Su Luo also walked forward and looked at the dirty river in front of him with a scrutinizing gaze.
The turbid river water lay before everyone. The water was so muddy that the bottom could not be seen. It spread out from the depths of the jungle with no end in sight.
From time to time, huge pieces of driftwood float down the river from upstream.
Lu Shi looked at Su Luo next to him, seeing his serious expression, and asked, "What's the problem with this river?"
Su Luo was silent for a while before he slowly spoke: "This river is very deep."
As he said that, he threw a stone into the water. There was a dull sound, but no splash was made.
Su Luo used to go on missions in jungles and tropical rainforests frequently, so he was familiar with all kinds of terrain.
After observing for a while, he continued.
“The water is flowing too slowly.”
The terrain here is not flat and the river flows very slowly.
It just means there is something under the water.
There was no panic on Su Luo's calm face.
I shared my speculation with Lu Shi.
Lu Shi looked at the driftwood floating over and pondered for a moment.
"Just walk on the driftwood. There's no end to this river, upstream or downstream. We won't have enough time to take a detour."
Su Luo nodded in agreement. They came out this time for a relic site that was refreshed in the jungle.
The coordinates of this relic were dropped in a fight with a mutant monster race yesterday.
Lu Shi was very efficient. After arranging the leader's affairs, he went out with a team.
Lu Shi watched as another piece of driftwood floated down and signaled the robot to go first.
The robot first calculated the distance and the landing point.
Then, in the sight of everyone, he jumped onto the driftwood and leaped to the other side in a few leaps.
The river is about 5 meters wide, which is no problem for a well-trained robot.
Lu Shi was relieved. The robot was the heaviest in the team. He would be fine, and the team members would be fine too.
"Put all the equipment back first. Fatty Zhao, you're next."
He took back his hot weapons, left a dagger by his side for self-defense, and the team member named by Lu Shi stepped forward.
He found a good opportunity and jumped out.
The driftwood had been soaked in water for a long time and its surface was very smooth. Zhao Pang's footing was fine, but his center of gravity was not there. His other foot missed the mark and he fell into the river with a splash.
In a panic, Fat Zhao swallowed several mouthfuls of foul-smelling river water and shouted in panic.
"Help! I can't swim!"
Su Luo moved very quickly and jumped out before the people around him could react.
He landed steadily on a piece of driftwood and kicked another piece of driftwood in front of Fat Zhao.
Fat Zhao climbed up in a panic, and just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he remembered what Su Luo had just said about there being something in the river.
His face was pale and he didn't dare to rest. With the help of Su Luo, he hugged the driftwood and rolled over, and successfully flipped over on top of it.
"Thanks."
"Hurry up and stand up. We have to jump over there!"
Su Luo didn't waste any words, and Fat Zhao also reacted. He inserted the dagger in his hand into the driftwood and stood up with the help of the force.
The two of them landed on the other side safely, and Lu Shi breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that things in the water should not be so easily triggered.
Immediately afterwards, under Lu Shi's arrangement, the team members formed teams of two and took care of each other to cross the river.
Finally, it was Lu Shi himself.
However, just as Lu Shi jumped onto the floating log in the middle of the river, the log under his feet shook a few times, and Lu Shi barely managed to keep his body steady.
The team members on the shore looked drastically different and looked behind Lu Shi in horror.
"Boss! Quick!"
“Run!”
Lu Shi looked back and saw that the water surface under his feet suddenly bulged with ripples that spread out in all directions, and the water surface was instantly lifted.
The mutant beasts under the water appeared, and they turned out to be more than a dozen mutant crocodiles!
The red eyes were locked on Lu Shi, and Lu Shi staggered and fell directly off the driftwood.
"Boss!"
When Lu Shi fell into the water, a huge roar rang in his ears. The water in front of him was surging, not at all like the calm well on the surface.
Lu Shi reacted quickly and turned around, surfaced and began to swim hard to the other side.
"Boss, swim faster!"
The team members on the shore took out their weapons to block the mutant crocodile behind Lu Shi.
Some team members threw ropes towards Lu Shi, who was about to grab hold of them but was lost by the huge current stirred up by the crocodile.
I could only rely on myself to resist the waves and move closer to the shore little by little.
The blue-gray crocodile is at least two meters long, with hard scales covering its back and barbs sticking out.
At this time, he opened his mouth wide and wanted to bite Lu Shi.
Lu Shi is good at swimming and ranks among the best in swimming in the wealthy training course.
At this time, even though he was wearing heavy equipment, he could still swim very fast.
Under the cover of his teammates, he dodged the crocodile's attacks left and right and escaped successfully.
He soon approached the shore, but the mutant crocodile behind him also approached him.
Su Luo was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and threw the noose in his hand in an instant.
Just as Lu, who was about to lose his strength, was caught, the robots on both sides also jumped into the river and fought with the mutant crocodile behind them.
Lu Shi successfully landed on the shore, and then two robots came up carrying the corpses of two mutant crocodiles.
"Wow! This mutant crocodile must weigh a ton!"
The team members gathered around.
As soon as the words fell, the crocodile's body disappeared, leaving only a ball of light on the ground.
"Golden treasure chest! There is actually a golden treasure chest!"
"Boss! Put it away!"
The team members were very surprised to see the golden treasure chest on the ground, and turned to look at the river behind them with envy.
Damn it, it’s just a mission. When you complete the mission and come back, no crocodile here can escape!
Lu Shi was also very surprised. He could actually find a golden treasure chest just on the outskirts of the jungle!
The wet equipment was replaced, Lu Shi collected the spoils, marked the coordinates of the river, and then the team continued to explore forward.
Three hours later, the team safely approached the ruins mark on the map.
Lu Shi looked at his map and said to the team members around him, "It's just ahead, everyone be careful."
"Xiao Lin, are you okay with your injury?"
Xiaolin is a thin team member who had just been bitten while fighting a mutant centipede.
Lu Shi found the detoxifying ointment in the golden treasure chest and used it to successfully detoxify Xiaolin, but Xiaolin still looked very weak.
Xiaolin propped himself up and nodded.
Lu Shi didn't say anything else. This death jungle was indeed very dangerous.
But the supplies are also abundant, and the lowest amount dropped by monsters is a silver treasure chest.
They have already reached the entrance of the ruins, and in Kobayashi's current state, he can only stay there.
If he goes back alone, he will surely die.
Lu Shi took a look at the environment around the ruins and saw a forest suddenly appearing in the middle of the jungle.
The trees are all over 30 meters high, and it takes at least three people to hug the trunk.
The branches and leaves are very dense, blocking out the sun.
The tree trunks are covered with various mutant creepers, mosses and other moss plants.
And the relic point is right in the middle.
The team didn't discover the existence of the ruins until they got within 10 meters of the ruins' coordinates.
A large mass of gray-black fog appeared in sight. Such a familiar scene was something that players who had experienced the ruins would definitely remember.
"Boss! Found it!"
The team members exclaimed quietly, and it was time to land; they calmly did not nod, nor did they rush in.
Lu Shi first asked the team to rest on the spot, and then asked the robot to check whether there were any signs of other teams' actions around.
After everything was ready, he took out several specially shaped walkie-talkies and distributed them to the team members.
The team members have long been accustomed to this walkie-talkie, which was made by Lu Shi using the blueprints he drew, and is specifically designed to deal with ruins where the chat channel cannot be used.
After confirming that nothing was missed, Lu Shi and his party entered the ruins.
