135 Chapter 135
Chapter 135
"I'm not sure about that, but now that spiritual energy has revived and so many mutated plants and animals have appeared, and the supernatural powers you and I have possessed have reappeared, it's not impossible for a legendary secret realm to appear again."
Captain Dai was in a hurry, but he did not ignore his words. He thought carefully about the possibilities and could only give this answer.
"Don't waste any time, we're almost at the foot of the mountain. Don't let this short distance stop you from ignoring the danger. There are more than just those mutant plants and animals that have already made their way to the door. There are also some brainless creatures out there who probably don't know where to hide, hoping to stumble upon us and give us a few blows."
The team leader saw that the second captain was about to continue talking, and then glanced at Captain Dai who was no longer prepared to pay attention to him, so he had to interrupt and remind him.
"Okay, I know. We all know this, don't worry."
After hearing the reminder, the second captain shut up and stopped talking, but it was unknown how active his mind was.
They walked all the way down the mountain, following the same path they had taken when they went up the mountain. They had not been up the mountain for long, and the places where they had fought with those mutated animals and plants before had not yet been completely occupied by other mutated animals and plants. Although there were still some who rushed out to attack them while they were walking, their strength was not very strong, but they could still deal with it with so many people.
"This is the fastest way down the mountain we can choose now."
During the break, the team leader watched other people with special abilities looking for edible things in the surrounding area, but they didn't find much after half a day. He was helpless and gave a simple explanation.
"It's fine as long as you can eat these. If you stuff them in your stomach, they'll have to be digested. Just bear with your teeth for a bit. When we get back, I'll apply to the cafeteria and make you a big meal."
Seeing one of the people with special abilities looking at the mutant plant in his hand with a bit of grievance, which was so old that it would break into silk if bitten, the team leader comforted him with some embarrassment.
They had never thought about this when they were going up the mountain, and they would choose to take the same route when they were going down the mountain.
According to their estimation, it would take them quite a long time to explore the mountain. Who would have thought that they were so lucky that they could find such important information in such a short time. What they need now is to bring the information back as soon as possible.
Taking this route that I have tried before is obviously the best choice.
Even before making the choice, they had not thought that they had plucking so thoroughly on their previous journey that when they set out on this road again, even the mutated plants could not grow many edible tender leaves to fill their stomachs.
The ones that are slightly edible are already a bit old and have started to become stringy.
"Just think of it as eating candied sweet potatoes."
The team leader tried to persuade him for a long time, but after saying this, the person with special abilities still didn't seem to react, so he had no choice but to give up and lower his head to eat his portion.
After taking a bite, his expression was similar to that of the person with special abilities just now.
The leaf he had eaten from the same mutant plant had a sweet taste, but the texture was a little worse, so he could shamelessly say that he was eating it like a candied sweet potato.
Unexpectedly, when he took the next bite, the leaves of the mutant plant made him feel bitter and numb all over.
It seems that the person with the ability just now didn't want to talk to him, but was simply unable to move due to the taste attack...
"Report to eat..."
Not wanting to waste the food he had worked so hard to find, the team leader forced himself to swallow the bitter and astringent food before beginning to express his opinions.
After saying that, without even looking at the expressions of others, he stuffed the remaining food into his mouth and ate it whole. Then he began to discuss with Captain Dai and the others how to get back after they got down the mountain.
At this time, the foot of the mountain was all water, and it was impossible for them to take the normal route. They could only travel by boat as they did when they came.
However, what they could not guarantee was that after they went down the mountain, those brainless mutant animals that had previously besieged them would follow them down the mountain.
After all, the foot of the mountain bordering the water is the territory of those mutated animals and plants. Although they had conflicts with those mutated animals and plants when they first went up the mountain and many of them were killed, many of them also ran away.
Although those mutated animals and plants don't have much brains and usually act according to their instincts, they are also particularly vengeful because of their simple brains.
I fought them so hard before, and this time when I came down the mountain, I saw a group of people passing by. They were all injured to varying degrees. It would be strange if I didn't take advantage of the situation and attack them.
Knowing this, the team leader was so anxious to discuss with other team leaders.
They have almost completed their tasks. The most important thing now is to send back the information they have discovered. However, they have no time to argue with those mutated animals and plants that have no brains but rely on instinct to be very difficult to deal with.
After discussion, they finally decided to bypass the original route up the mountain.
Stay away from areas where mutated animals and plants may appear to avoid unnecessary conflicts.
With this preparation, they went down the mountain very smoothly and soon reached the foot of the mountain.
"Let's put the boat down first. Let's follow the same team-up model as before and go find Zhuang Dun to get the boat."
Seeing that they had reached the edge of the mountain and there was water further down, the team leader stopped and began to arrange for others to go into the water.
"We need to hurry. A mutant animal just spotted us and was about to attack us, but was taken care of."
The third captain had just led his men to guard the other side, alert to attacks from the mutant animals and plants that appeared.
There are really a lot of mutated animals and plants on this mountain. In such a short period of time, several mutated animals and plants have appeared with attacking tendencies.
Fortunately, it was discovered and dealt with in advance.
"You guys are quite efficient. Let's go. The boats have been lowered."
Hearing his words, Captain Dai chuckled and chatted with him for a moment, but didn't continue and asked everyone to leave.
"Okay, let's go."
The third captain was not the type to like to talk too much at this time. He nodded in agreement and took his men directly onto the boat that had been lowered for them in advance.
When their fleet set off, the ship leading the way had already sailed quite a distance.
Obviously, the third team and the team led by Captain Dai, who was walking a little ahead of them, were responsible for the rearguard.
"We were able to return so smoothly this time because of good luck."
Captain Dai looked at the long line of boats rowing in front of him like a fish and dragon, and spoke softly to the third captain who had specially boarded the same boat with him.
"Well, luckily I brought my sweet baby with me."
Speaking of this, the third captain couldn't help but think of the locust seed clip that exploded on Guaibao's body before. There were not many locust seeds, locust flowers or locust leaves on that locust branch collar, but in comparison, the other two things were much more than locust seeds.
But when they encountered danger, it was the locust seeds that exploded. There must be a reason for this.
"The things my godmother gives me are usually very useful."
When mentioning Guaibao, Captain Dai also thought of him and his collar.
"I wonder if you have any detailed information about what happened when Kuangshan first appeared?"
"At that time, many frontline explorers disappeared after reaching that area, and it was impossible to contact them. In the end, it was one of them who saved his life with the gift given by the godmother and finally escaped danger."
As he spoke, Captain Dai couldn't help but feel a little envious. Although Shangyou Village, where his family lived, was now also under the protection of that godmother, the degree of attention he received from that godmother was far less than that of the people in Daxi Village who were originally under her protection.
Just like him, although he had seen the locust tree godmother several times, it was rare for her to give him leaves or something else specifically.
Knowing that the leaf given by the godmother was already capable enough to deal with the crisis, it is worth considering that when the danger occurred there, the first person to appear to protect people was not the leaf, but the locust seed clip, whose ability they had never seen from the beginning.
Although Captain Dai had not thought about it in such detail at the beginning, now that he was temporarily out of danger, these thoughts appeared involuntarily and occupied his mind.
"It seems that the first thing we should do after returning is to find the senior professors at the institute to explain the situation and find out the cause of the danger. Otherwise, we may be lucky to be protected this time, but it may not be the case next time."
What Captain Dai said is also what other people think.
They now thought they were out of danger, but they still had only a vague understanding of the cause of the danger.
Only their intuition told them that it was related to the door that suddenly appeared.
"Why is the journey back so smooth? This isn't normal..."
The two of them were following behind and chatting casually.
Of course, the people in the middle did not forget to pay attention to what was happening in the front.
Although the rain was loud and the vision was blurred, it did not affect their observation as they were already accustomed to such an environment.
"It's really unusual. This journey has been so smooth! Before we came here, we encountered attacks from mutated underwater plants and animals, but this time when we returned, there was no sign of any attack at all!"
Captain Dai's expression gradually became serious as he spoke.
"That shouldn't be the case. Those mutant plants and animals with brains are fine. They might have given up attacking us after thinking for various reasons. But those that attack based on instinct won't be so rational. They haven't shown any intention of attacking us at all."
After listening to Captain Dai's words, the third captain obviously thought of these things and continued speaking along the lines of Captain Dai.
"If we go a little further, will we be out of the range of signal disruption?"
Even if they noticed something wrong now, they didn't dare to stop. They were already on the road. They couldn't just retreat back to the mountain for the sake of safety just because of this discovery, right?
"Almost, but it will take some time."
Hearing Captain Dai's question, the three captains simply calculated their current location and finally gave the answer.
"Pass it one by one, and let the person in front go faster. It doesn't feel right."
Captain Dai nodded after listening, and stopped talking to Captain Three. Instead, he shouted towards the boat that was rowing in front of them, urging them to hurry up.
The people walking in front were the ones who followed orders. Although they didn't understand why they were asked to go faster, they didn't dare to delay. They sped up directly, caught up with the boat in front, and conveyed the intentions of Captain Dai and others.
It was easy after the message reached the ship where Mo Shan was. After Mo Shan conveyed it, almost the next moment Mo Shan knew about it, the speed of their entire fleet increased by a level.
Captain Dai frowned and stared at the direction the entire fleet was moving, fearing that some unforeseen accidents might occur.
Fortunately, they had a smooth journey and were about to reach the signal recovery range that had been calculated in advance, so they were able to contact their superiors in advance.
Unexpectedly, the accident happened so unexpectedly.
