interstellar enemy

It is uncertain how long it will take to participate in the field mission. If everything goes well, they can go back on time. If it doesn't go well, it may be delayed for about two days.Although she was still not sure, Qiao Xi thought about it and sent a communication request to Rongchun's communicator.

However, it was not Rong Chun who connected to the communicator, but the second brother Rong Su.

"There's been no movement for a few days, I thought something happened to you." Rong Su's slightly cynical voice came from over there.

"It's strange that I contact my elder brother every day." Qiao Xi said casually.Although the three of them have different personalities and different ways of doing things, they all have a habit of not contacting each other frequently.Qiao Xi didn't think it was necessary, Rong Chun didn't want to disturb his younger brothers, and Rong Su said that Rong Chun and Qiao Xi's dynamics were under his control. He knew it, so there was no need to make a special contact.This is also what Qiao Xi finds Rong Su very annoying. It seems that she can't hide from Rong Su's eyeliner no matter what, but she has no way of knowing how he knows.

"That's right." Rong Su asked casually, "Do you have something to do with Big Brother?"

"I may have to go back a few days later, when will you go back to Solo?" Qiao Xi asked.

"I look at your time, if you are a few days late for me, I will go back a few days later." Regarding taking care of Rong Chun, Rong Su did not dare to be sloppy.It was because he was busy with other things and neglected Rong Chun for a while, that made that scumbag second lieutenant torture Rong Chun for so long without realizing it, and this led to the current result.In fact, he also knew that even if he had found out earlier, he might not be able to confront that scum head-on, after all, even his father couldn't do anything about it.But he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart, and carrying this responsibility would make it easier for him.It's not that he didn't think about solving the other party by himself, but it was too difficult for his identity not to be discovered. It happened that Qiao Xi also had this idea, so he actively helped Qiao Xi, and also vented his anger.

"That's fine, I'll let you know when I get back." Since Rong Su is not in a hurry, it's easy to handle, and Qiao Xi doesn't want to talk to him anymore, "Then I'll hang up first."

"Shouldn't you have a few words with elder brother?" Rong Xu asked.These few days, Rongchun is still worried about Qiao Xi.

"What is he doing?" Rong Su answered the communication, which meant that Rong Chun was not around.

"Taking a bath. I made some herbs for him to soak, which is good for the body." Rong Shu said.Now this kind of medical skills on the ancient earth has almost been lost, and it took him a lot of effort to find this old Chinese medicine doctor.He came here this time mainly to let Rongchun try this prescription, and if it works well, he will continue to use it. If the effect is not great, he is going to take Rongchun directly to have a pulse diagnosis and drink some traditional Chinese medicine.Although the taste is bad, it is good to cure the root cause.

"Well, then I'll contact him when I come back." Qiao Xi didn't plan to waste time, and he and Rong Su had very little in common.However, it is indeed very intentional for Rong Su to find Chinese herbal medicine to bathe Rong Chun. In an empire where Western medicine is extremely developed, Chinese medicine seems to have been forgotten by people, which is indeed a pity.

"Okay, I'll tell him when the eldest brother comes out."

"Yeah." Without further words, Qiao Xi cut off the communication.

"Is everything ready?" He Tian asked after coming back from outside with dinner.

"Almost, many are not allowed to be brought, just bring the necessities." Most of the items for this field mission, such as tents, food, medical kits, etc., are provided by the base.There are very few things they can bring. Except for the things and clothes related to the profession, other things are not allowed, and they will be checked at that time.

He Tian put down his dinner, walked to Qiao Xi's side, and gently touched the wound on his forehead.The scab has receded, leaving behind a patch of pink skin, which is not too noticeable, hidden by bangs.

The new flesh that grows seems to be more sensitive, and He Tian's touch makes him feel numb and uncomfortable.But to be able to get rid of the scab so quickly, the tube of medicine that He Tian gave him later played a big role, no wonder He Tian was so sure that it would be easy to use.

"You must not be more than ten meters away from me in this field mission, lest you accidentally get injured again." He Tian's tone was a little commanding.

Qiao Xi nodded, anyway, he would not say that he hurt his forehead on purpose.

Early in the morning, all the students who participated in the field mission gathered at the gathering place.He Tian received the captain's badge from the teacher, and the teacher distributed the items prepared by the base to them.

"Safety comes first in this field mission. The weather is not good these two days, so you have to be extra careful. The ranking is not the key, the most important thing is to come back safe and sound." The teacher who led the team urged.This time, Saint Nyan's grades were good, and the headmaster was satisfied, and he didn't want the students in the school to take risks.Although the military department for field missions will be responsible for preliminary preparations, safety assessments and protection, but in the wild, there are too many unknowns, and no one can guarantee that this mission will be absolutely safe. What the military department can do is to minimize the danger.

"Don't worry." He Tian said.Anyway, he will definitely not let Qiao Xi get hurt.

The teacher looked at the other people and said, "This time, we must listen to the president's arrangement, and don't act privately. If you have something to do, sit down and discuss it, and don't start a fight."

"Yes." Several people responded in unison.

The teacher nodded, relieved.

After the teacher finished speaking, He Tian, ​​Thain, and Odo began to carefully check the distributed luggage to make sure it was safe.Qiao Xi's things were checked and kept by He Tian, ​​and he didn't need to do anything.The student of the command department who was selected to participate in the field mission was named Yancey. He was also a very easy-going person and was not difficult to get along with. This time, He Tian put him and Odo into a group. The two had similar abilities, so it should be easier to cooperate.And the one who was most excited was Elmo. Although he seemed to be standing beside Thain honestly, he kept looking around, observing the preparations of students from other schools, and didn't say much.He didn't have a space button, so Thain put his things into his own space button, which was more convenient.

After the personnel check, the military personnel will announce the rules of the competition.The task of this competition is to reach the designated end point and get the spar next to the sixth-level star beast.Students from seven schools draw lots to decide the route and get the corresponding first part of the route guide.Each route guide has only a part of the road, and the next guide map must be found according to the previous one. Only by walking step by step in this way can we find the final destination.The first team to get the spar is the winner.The winner can get the chance to visit the high-level military base.The competition lasts up to five days. If no team gets the spar within five days, the competition will end automatically, and the base will send someone to pick them up. There is no ranking, and they are not eligible to visit the advanced base.

After announcing the rules of the game, the captain of each team goes to draw lots.He Tian drew route D, and after receiving the corresponding guidance, the six people directly boarded the special vehicle prepared for them by the base and headed to the entrance of the route.

The road on the road is not smooth, and the car is a bit bumpy. Because it is a mountain road, it cannot be blamed for the driver's lack of skills, so he can only endure it.

Everyone was very quiet, and the instructor who sat in the car with them looked at a few people seriously, but did not speak.

After arriving at the entrance, the instructor did not let them go down immediately, but got in touch with other people, and they could not be officially let off until all the players were in their positions.

He Tian squeezed Qiao Xi's fingers, looking relaxed.Thain and Elmo got out of the car and looked outside. The outside was a deep forest with a primitive taste. The mountain road was a bit rough and the light was not particularly good.Due to the small windows, the field of view is limited, so only a small area can be seen.

After confirming that everyone was in place, the instructor opened the car door, asked them to get out of the car, and said, "I wish you all the best." After speaking, he closed the door and left.

The six people looked around. There were many trees in the forest. The weather was getting colder, and the leaves were basically withered and yellow and falling off. A thick layer was laid on the ground, almost covering the road.This situation is a bit difficult to walk, it looks flat, but who knows if there will be stones or earth pits below...

He Tian opened the guidance map - until now, they were not allowed to open the map to study the route.Now there were three roads in front of them that looked fairly obvious. Some of the trails were probably covered by leaves, so they had no way of knowing.

"The guide is to take this road." He Tian pointed to the left road.It looks narrow enough for one person to pass through.

"Then go this way." Otto nodded.

Qiao Xi glanced at the weather, it was gloomy early this morning, and it seems to be even cloudier now.

"We'd better look for places like caves to rest along the way. The weather seems to be raining," Qiao Xi said.

"Indeed, even if it doesn't rain, it's not wise to camp outside at this temperature. It's better to find a shelter from the wind." Yancey nodded in agreement.

"Yeah." He Tian nodded.It's okay now, the sudden drop in temperature at night may be very troublesome, if it rains again...

"Is it cold?" Thain asked Elmo.Among these people, the one who worried him the most was Elmo. It didn't matter to others, but he was afraid that his physical strength could not keep up.The reason why he proposed to let Elmo come was because he felt that it was safest for Elmo to stay by his side.He doesn't discriminate against people from any planet, and he respects Elmo the same as the Imperials, but not everyone thinks the same as he thinks.

"It's not cold." Elmo shook his head, still in excitement, it's good that he doesn't feel hot.

"Okay." Seeing that his face looked good, Thain felt relieved, and said to He Tian: "Let's go, we can go back sooner after we finish it."

"En." He Tian didn't delay any longer, and walked forward first.

Qiao Xi followed behind He Tian, ​​and Thain broke his back.Everyone was very silent along the way, not because they didn't want to talk, but because they wanted to conserve energy, the road was a bit difficult, and they were not allowed to lose their minds.

After walking for about two hours, Elmo, who was walking in front of Thain, suddenly said, "Wait a minute."

Everyone stopped, and Thain asked, "What's the matter?"

Elmo pointed to a tree at the bottom of the slope, and said, "Let's pick up some branches from that tree to make a fire. That tree is called a cloud charcoal tree, and it is very powerful to make a fire. It has no choking smoke and is not easy to extinguish. , there is no need to add firewood at any time."

Hearing this, Yancey said: "Then pick up some more, if it rains, the branches will definitely be damp, and the firewood I picked up may not be able to burn."

"Okay." Odo immediately slid down the slope to check, and then threw it directly into the space button.

Thain smiled and praised Elmo, "It's really smart." He had heard of this kind of tree, but he had never seen it before. Firstly, it is rare, and secondly, no one needs to make a fire to cook now, so few people will Pay attention to this aspect of things.

Elmo also read in the book that someone once wanted to fill the ammunition with the extract of the charcoal tree to achieve continuous flammability, but the effect was not good. In addition, there are very few trees of this kind, and they cannot be planted. So it has not been realized in ammunition.Along the way, Elmo only found this one plant. Although the value of taking it back for experimentation is higher than using it as firewood, eating and keeping warm is the most important thing now, so he immediately made a sound, thinking Bring some for a fire.

Thain went down to help. The cloud charcoal tree was very brittle and short, and the branches would fall off when they were broken by hand. There were many broken branches on the ground before.It should have been broken by some large animal passing by.

It was getting late, He Tian decided to finish his lunch here before leaving.The downhill is relatively sheltered from the wind and suitable for rest.It's not too far from the hiding place of the next blueprint, so it's good to take a rest.

After lunch, the firewood was collected enough, and the six of them set off again.Following the instructions on the map, they came to a rock.

"It should be around here." He Tian said, "Separate and look for it."

"Okay." Several people responded and began to search around.The paper printed with the guide map is very conspicuous, and it is fireproof and waterproof, and it has its own fluorescence at night.The place was found, but they had to find out where the paper was.

Qiao Xi walked around to the side of the rock, and suddenly found a not-so-small hole on the side of the rock. The hole was shallow, but it was enough to shelter from the wind and rain. In this hole, there was actually a baby star beast, and the baby star beast was pressing on the side of the rock. guide map.

"He Tian, ​​this way." Qiao Xi called out.

He Tian heard that he was walking quickly, and also saw the guide map under the cub.

The cub seemed to be woken up by Qiao Xi, opened its garnet red eyes, and immediately closed its ears when it saw Qiao Xi and He Tian, ​​with a look of vigilance.But obviously the cub was too small, not only did it not have all the teeth, but also its limbs had no strength, and it couldn't stand up at all, so it was still weak like a child in terms of momentum.

The other four also rushed over. Seeing the cub, Elmo exclaimed in surprise, "It's a tiger-toothed beast."

The tiger-toothed beast looks between a tiger and a lion. Its body is snow-white, with a pattern of black spots on its forehead. An adult tiger-toothed beast has a ring of thick white hair on its neck. Very imposing.Juvenile tiger-tooth beasts are not aggressive, but they are very aggressive when they become adults, and it is impossible to fight it with bare hands.However, as long as it does not invade the territory of the tiger-toothed beast, the tiger-toothed beast will not take the initiative to attack humans.

"If there are cubs here, there will definitely be adult ones. They probably went out to hunt." Yancey judged.

"I'll take a look around, it's best not to confront the long-term tiger-toothed beast head-on." After speaking, Odo walked away first.

"How do I get it?" Sean asked.

They could indeed pick up the cubs directly and take away the guide map, but the cubs would smell of humans, and the adult beasts would directly kill the cubs when they came back.For a picture, it is not necessary to kill a cub.They do deal with war, but that doesn't mean they kill innocent people in cold blood.

"How did the people at the base put the picture in? Are they trying to embarrass us?" Elmo felt that this might be one of the tests, to see if they would harm the cubs.

"It should be a robot." Qiao Xi guessed.The robot will not let the cubs get other smells.

The five fell silent, all thinking about how to take it out without letting the cubs smell.The cub seemed to be sure that these people would not hurt it. Looking around, it was probably hungry, and began to scream loudly, adding completely incongruous background music to the five people's thinking.
