Back to the Wilderness

The setting sun sprinkles the afterglow on the lake in the valley, shining like silk, and the surrounding mountains, trees, flowers and plants are all embroidered into the golden cloth one by one.

Several piles of bonfires were set up on the grass, and two stone pots were erected.One pot is full of thick white fang fish soup, and the other pot is full of bright green kelp and bright yellow bird eggs.Lao Wang, Gao Yiyang and the others were beside another fire where half a fangtooth fish was grilled, happily grilling crabs on skewers with wooden sticks.

Seeing that the crab shell had turned red and black, Lao Wang grabbed a crab leg and put it in his mouth, chewing and boasting: "Not bad!"

"I'll try it too!" The others couldn't help it, "It's really delicious!"

The women gathered in front of another pile of small bonfires they specially set up, roasting crabs not to be outdone. Most of them had only eaten well-cooked crabs in the hotel, and had never seen live ones. They were at a loss for a while. .

"Hey, let me come, you wait to eat." Zhao Lan looked at Xu Huihui's face covered with ashes and smiled helplessly.

"No! I must succeed! I don't believe that I can't handle this gadget!" Xu Huihui was very angry, and threw the crab waving its big pincers hard on the ground.

He Zhongqing carefully poked the crab with a stick, and only after making sure that it would not move again did he dare to pick it up, "Can you roast it? See how delicious they are."

Zhao Lan smiled: "It still needs to be washed..."

"It's really troublesome." Someone complained, but the interest in the words didn't decrease at all.

Xu Caicai sat far away from them with a complicated expression.She looked at Ding Yun who was drying her long hair at the mouth of the gorge after washing her hair, and she became more depressed.

"Why are you sitting here alone?" A man came out of the cave and couldn't help asking when he saw Xu Caicai.

Xu Caicai looked up and saw that it was Carpenter Wang in the team. He was busy tinkering with wood with a bone knife all day long, and he didn't see anyone until the meal time, so he didn't have any sense of presence.Xu Caicai immediately said angrily: "What does it have to do with you!"

Carpenter Wang touched his nose in embarrassment, and left angrily.

After taking a shower, Ji Fuyun's hair was wet and his face was rosy. After washing the sticky sea water and the remaining sea salt after drying, he felt much more refreshed. Ji Fuyun was in a good mood and patrolled his small vegetable patch.

His three packages of vegetables are cabbage, radish and pepper.They are all dishes with a relatively short growth cycle. The growth cycle of ordinary cabbage and radish is only two months, and the growth cycle of pepper is slightly longer, which takes about four months.But these vegetable seeds are not ordinary seeds. They are varieties improved by Professor He. The yield has not only been greatly increased, but the growth cycle has also been shortened. In addition, the soil here is fertile and oxygen is sufficient, and it only takes one month for cabbage and radish to mature. Chili takes two months.

Now these vegetables are growing very gratifyingly, and they are about to pass the seedling stage and enter the flowering and fruit-setting stage. The leaves are plump and lush, green and tender, so tender that they seem to be able to squeeze out water.The stems of peppers are straight and strong.

Although there are very few vegetables, there are only three short rows, and each row has only twenty or thirty plants.But Ji Fuyun used his special function of identifying plants without wasting every day, and found some wild vegetables around the safe area and transplanted them, hoping to cultivate them into home vegetables.During the daytime, He Zhongqing and Zhao Lan would also come over to take care of these vegetables. There was not a single weed in the vegetable field, and the ridges of the fields were distinct.

Ji Fuyun was very satisfied, and carried a bucket to water them. He planned to save the first batch of ripe vegetables for the purpose of expanding the scale of vegetables in the future.

At this time, there was a figure sneaking around around the vegetable field, poking around.

Ji Fuyun laughed, put down the bucket, and shouted to the figure: "Chen Jia, if you want to see it, you can come in and watch it."

"Huh." Chen Jia hummed, feeling awkward being caught by Ji Fuyun on the spot, but he went straight into the vegetable field.Seeing a field of fresh and tender vegetables, I couldn't help being a little surprised, and asked, "Is this the result of the project that Professor He researched?"

Ji Fuyun was slightly stunned, "Fenghe" No. [-] flashed in his mind, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, and he said after a while: "It's sort of."

"Professor He is really amazing." Even though Chen Jia and Ji Fuyun were not on good terms, and his teacher was not on good terms with Professor He, he still couldn't help but marvel. Everyone who studies plant genes will express such admiration from the bottom of their hearts.

While admiring, Chen Jia was a little unhappy, Ji Fuyun had already thrown him further and further away, if this continues, when will he be able to overwhelm Ji Fuyun!

Xie Cheng sat on the rock by the lake, playing with the dagger while watching the lively scene.

Luo Zongqiang walked over, sat down next to him, and asked, "Brother Xie, how are you preparing? The next step will be much more dangerous than that fangtooth fish."

Xie Cheng chuckled and said, "We are preparing anytime and anywhere, otherwise we wouldn't be alive now."

"Hahaha." Luo Zongqiang laughed, "That's good, I should discuss some specific matters with Brother Xie."

Hearing this, Xie Cheng became serious. He knew that Luo Zongqiang had finally decided to search for metal weapons.

Luo Zongqiang also looked serious: "We all know that this world is related to a game. We don't know the specific connection, but these have nothing to do with it. I only know that many settings in the game are very useful in this world."

"Indeed." Xie Cheng nodded.

"I also said before that there is a senior game player in my team who knows a lot more than your rookie player." Luo Zongqiang couldn't help but feel a little proud when he said this.

Xie Cheng calmly glanced at Qin Hao who was cowering in the corner, and did not refute.

Luo Zongqiang continued: "I learned about weapons from him. Of course, the so-called weapons are not real knives or swords, but a kind of ore."

"Ore?" Xie Cheng was surprised, "Could Boss Luo want to come back from mining to make steel?" Having said that, Xie Cheng didn't really think that Luo Zongqiang would have such a whimsical idea, not to mention that ore is difficult to mine However, the high temperature of light energy refining ore cannot be produced by them.Among them, there should be another mystery.

Luo Zongqiang smiled mysteriously, "There are magical animals and plants in the wild world, and there are naturally strange ores. The ore I'm talking about called Liuyan has nothing special about it, only two points..." He deliberately paused here , said slowly, "High hardness, low melting point."

Xie Cheng's eyes flashed, and he asked in a deep voice, "How low is the melting point?"

Luo Zongqiang replied: "1000 degrees Celsius."

Xie Cheng paused for a moment, then asked again: "How hard is it?"

"Of course it's not as hard as Brother Xie's dagger, but it's not much inferior to diamond."

"Okay!" Xie Cheng inserted the dagger back into the sheath, with a smile on his face, "I don't know when Boss Luo is going to find the ore."

"It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day, let's do it tomorrow." Luo Zongqiang said.

Xie Cheng had no objection, he was very interested in this kind of flow rock ore.Generally, the flame temperature of burning firewood can reach 800 degrees Celsius, but here is rich in oxygen, and it is not a problem to reach 1000 degrees Celsius. As long as they can find ore, they can refine metals. For them, the survival rate will be greatly improved.

He, Xie Cheng, is determined to win the Liuyan Mine.

Next, the two analyzed the location of the Liuyan Mine and the dangers they would encounter, but they tacitly did not discuss how to allocate it.

When the ore is found, everything is determined by strength.

Luo Zongqiang thinks so, and so does Xie Cheng.

This time, Xie Cheng and Luo Zongqiang brought most of the force in the team, heading to the west of the safe zone, an area they had never explored.

In the west, there are continuous high mountains. At the beginning, the mountains were lush with trees and lush greenery. Later, the plants gradually became scarce, and large chunks of rocks were exposed, making them look very precipitous and desolate.

"It should be this mountain." Luo Zongqiang stopped, surrounded by jagged rocks and few weeds. The hot noon sun hit the rocks, and it seemed to be able to bake puffs of green smoke.It is not so much a mountain as it is a Gobi with strange terrain.

"It is said that this mountain has undergone long-term historical changes." Luo Zongqiang said the news he learned from senior game players, "It was originally an ocean, and then the earth's crust moved, it rose to flat land, and then after a series of Geological activities have gradually evolved into such mountains, because many chemical reactions have occurred in them, so there are many types of rocks and rich ore, which is not suitable for plant growth."

Xie Cheng glanced at the surrounding environment and asked, "How to find Liuyan?"

Luo Zongqiang said with a smile: "Brother Xie, I didn't mean to be tricky. In fact, that person doesn't know what Liuyan looks like, but he said that Liuyan is an exposed ore with obvious characteristics. As long as we see it, we can know it." It’s Liuyan! By the way, there are many underground caves in Liuyan.”

Xie Cheng nodded, not sure if he believed this statement.

Ji Fuyun glanced at Chen Jia, Chen Jia sensed that someone was staring at him, turned his head to see that it was Ji Fuyun, snorted and turned away very disdainfully.

Ji Fuyun laughed, this reaction either meant that what Luo Zongqiang said was true, or even Chen Jia didn't know whether what Luo Zongqiang said was true or not.

"Look around." Luo Zongqiang said, leading the search.

Xie Cheng and Luo Zongqiang kept a certain distance and widened the search range. Since underground caves were mentioned, the main target of their search was all kinds of terrains with hidden cave entrances, including the most likely lakes, waterfalls, rivers, etc., but the cave entrances may also appear in On various rock walls, after all, the terrain of the cave is complicated, and it is difficult for them to figure it out.

Because of the steep and weird rocks, which interfered with the line of sight, it was difficult to tell where it might be an underground cave.The crowd searched for more than an hour, but found a few caves, but after entering, they were either beast dens or small caves, and nothing was found at all.

Soon, Xie Cheng and the others found another cave, surrounded by several poplar trees and one or two clumps of weeds, which was extremely desolate.Holding the idea that they would rather find faults than let them go, they naturally wanted to explore.

"Ah!" Several exclamations suddenly came from a distance, but Xie Cheng didn't respond immediately.

After a while, Luo Zongqiang shouted: “Brother Xie, come and do me a favor, there’s a big guy here!”

Only then did Xie Cheng bring Ji Fuyun, Gao Yiyang and other five people there, and let Zhou Qiming and Zhang Shijie stay to investigate the cave.Bypassing a few red willows, a large lake leaning on the cliff appeared. The big guy Luo Zongqiang mentioned was a five-meter-long crocodile!

"Cole crocodile!" Ji Fuyun exclaimed. The head of this gray crocodile is about 50 centimeters wide. It is very terrifying!

Fortunately, Cole Crocodile just lay down in the water, roaring in a low voice, and did not immediately attack everyone.

Xie Cheng glanced at Luo Zongqiang's people, and there was one missing. He smiled and said, "Boss Luo, why bother with such a monster."

Luo Zongqiang looked like "you don't know something", and said: "Just now we discovered that there is a cave under the water, which is most likely a large underground cave. We have to deal with this crocodile!"

Ji Fuyun couldn't help sneering after hearing this.Boss Luo has a good plan. I'm afraid he already has a clue about the location of the cave. He will go to investigate first and lose one person. After knowing the horror of this Cole crocodile, he thought of calling Xie Cheng over. .

Xie Cheng was silent for a moment and then said: "It might be a bit difficult for us people to deal with it. I'll call the others over first."

"Okay." Luo Zongqiang said with a smile.

Xie Cheng smiled, and his face suddenly changed after he took two steps.

Just as Ji Fuyun wanted to ask what happened, he felt his feet shaking and almost couldn't stand still.

Boom boom boom boom!

The sound was like thunder, and the ground shook more and more, like an earthquake!No, it is most likely an earthquake!

"Let's go!" Xie Cheng glanced at the lake, and found that the originally calm water was gradually sinking under the whirlpool.

Ji Fuyun, Gao Yiyang and others were very convinced by Xie Cheng, and ran away as soon as they heard Xie Cheng's words.

Luo Zongqiang's face was very ugly, and he knew that something was wrong, but he was unwilling to give up Liuyan, who was only one step away!

"God!" Someone exclaimed.

The water suddenly rolled, and another giant crocodile appeared. Before everyone could finish their breath, they saw scary gray crocodiles appear one after another on the surface of the small lake!In a blink of an eye, more than 50 cole alligators covered the water surface, staring at everyone coldly.

No matter how greedy Luo Zongqiang was, he had no choice but to run away at this time, but after a group of them moved, Kerr crocodile also moved!

Each crocodile weighs more than half a ton, and more than 50 crocodiles were dispatched together, causing a sensation that can be described as earth-shattering!What's even more frightening is that there is a sudden earthquake here, and the Cole crocodile gave the crumbling mountain the final blow!

The water in the lake swirled rapidly, decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it was unknown where it flowed underground.

The ground shook violently, rocks rolled down, and after a few loud noises, the ground within a radius of 50 meters around the lake quickly sank!

Luo Zongqiang's expression changed drastically, and the scar trembled, but he could only watch helplessly as he sank along with the ground!

Xie Cheng and the others who ran a few steps first were also unable to withstand the collapse of the mountain. The house leak happened to rain overnight, and the underground they were in happened to be a large karst cave!The hollow underground exacerbates the tendency to collapse!

After a few loud bangs, the dust filled the air and went straight up into the sky.

There was a moment of silence, and the world lost its voice.

The embarrassed Zhou Qiming, Zhang Shijie and others ran over from afar, and what they saw was the scene after the sky collapsed.No lakes, no crocodiles, no people.
