Chapter 1763: Overseas Valley
When the procession stopped, in front of the procession was a green lake. Tracking experts found traces of lizards and snakes entering the water on the shore of the lake. A woman in the team, with short haircut and flamboyant Qila stroked her forehead and said, "No way, do we still have to dive?"
"It seems to be so." The black captain called: "Take everything down, take off the combat uniform, and pack it with a waterproof bag. Adjust your tractors so that they don't let them strike in the water."
While speaking, Rui Jin had already unloaded his equipment and combat uniform, including a multifunctional tactical helmet on his head. These things were all stuffed into the waterproof bag, and his cannon itself had a waterproof design, so it was not afraid of being exposed to the water. After doing all this, he adjusted the traction device around his waist, and then the waterproof bag floated up, hovering beside Ruijin within the range of the traction force field.
Two female players took off their tactical uniforms, revealing their curvy figures, causing the male players next to them to blow their whistles. Rui Jin rolled his eyes and said, "Gentlemen, we're not out for an outing, so move quickly."
After a few minutes, everyone was ready. Rui Jin took out an oxygen mask and put it on his mouth, then he jumped into the lake water. The other team members followed suit, and after a while, all the team members dived into the lake. There are many green duckweeds floating on the surface of the lake, and the lake is clear. The sun shines in from the surface of the lake, drawing beams of light under the lake. Ruijin gestured to indicate the lake water. Very deep, everyone should be careful. Pointing to the tracking expert again, Debang nodded and swam ahead.
Diving is a boring thing, especially as they keep diving towards the bottom of the lake, which is dark when the sun can't reach here. From time to time, some underwater creatures would swim by. They were all species that the team members had never seen, and they looked different. Fortunately, they are not aggressive, otherwise they would affect everyone in the lake. Soon arrived at the bottom of the lake, the bottom of the lake was covered with a layer of soft sand, scattered with many boulders, it was like a maze.
Debang led the crowd forward, made a gesture suddenly, and pointed to the big stone next to him, signaling for everyone to hide. Ruijin immediately grabbed Qila who was swimming next to him and hid behind a boulder covered with green moss, and the others also shrank back one after another. After a while, I saw the water rushing by, and it was obvious that something was swimming. A few seconds later, everyone's head went dark. Rui Jin looked up, only to see a huge monster passing by his head. It couldn't be seen clearly from this angle, only a neck covered with nails, and each nail had natural patterns on it. Large and small pieces of armor wrapped this big guy tightly, and the figure like a small island quickly passed over their heads and gradually moved away.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and moved on. Soon the water flow in the lake was no longer calm, and a suction force pulled them forward, and there was a deep shadow in front of them. Rui Jin swam to the tracking expert and made a questioning gesture. Debon pointed forward and nodded vigorously, which meant that the lizards were heading in that direction. He dragged Rui Jin to swim to a big rock, and the green moss on the rock was clearly scratched by a sharp object. The front is deep and the back is shallow, apparently because the lizard snake is using its claws to grab the stone firmly. Only when the lizard snake leaps forward will it leave these claw marks.
Rui Jin nodded,
Gesture to the crowd. The team swam towards the shadows, and when they got close to the shadows, the suction power suddenly increased, and the water flowed loudly in their ears, and people were already sucked in uncontrollably. Everyone curled up and released their source power to protect themselves, so as not to hit something when they were brought to the unknown by the current. This process was short and intense, Ruijin only felt that after passing through the cave-like place, the water flow suddenly slowed down. He opened his eyes and saw light overhead. Looking around, the team members were nearby, so they pointed upwards, so the team swam upwards.
A moment later, the black captain was the first to break through the water, and the bright sunlight immediately blinded him. After getting used to the light, he realized that he was in a huge valley, and they were still in a lake at this moment. Behind is the towering mountain peak, the clouds are floating in the sky, and the sun is pouring down, falling on the plain in front of the lake. There are many unnamed movements on the plain, some are as big as chariots, and some are as small as hunting dogs. As for the end of the plain, where the clouds piled up and there was a faint fire, I don't know what there is.
The team went ashore and took a short rest. Ruijin gave everyone ten minutes to rest. They opened the waterproof bag, took out supplies, and took food and water to eat. Rui Jin, who put on his combat uniform, walked to the tracking expert, and Debang was using a satellite communicator to contact the Blood Gate Fortress. But it didn't seem to be going well, and the black man sat down and asked, "How is it?"
"No? There is serious interference here, and the signal transmission is poor." Debon shook his head.
"Damn it." Rui Jin raised his head, obviously the clouds above his head were calm, and he didn't seem to be disturbed at all. But he knows that nothing is impossible on the Garden of Eden, even if this planet is jointly developed by the Earth Federation and Idahua. But until now, there are still too many areas they don't know. This mysterious valley is one of them. As for those skies that cannot see interference, there may also be energy particles that are invisible to the naked eye. Things like this are not uncommon in the Garden of Eden.
"Eat something and replenish your strength. It seems that the lizard snake's lair is not far away."
"I hope so."
Ten minutes later, the team continued to set off. The lizard snake left a clear enough trail on the plain that the team knew where to go even without Debon tracking. The team stopped from time to time, and Rui Jin's face became more and more serious. Not only is the signal interfered here, but even the planet's magnetic field is also extremely chaotic. Coupled with the landform of the plain, it is difficult to find a reference object, and the survivors can infer the direction based on the shadow of the sun. But as the sky was gradually surrounded by thick clouds, the sun disappeared, and even the sun could not be seen, it was difficult for the team to distinguish between things.
"Head, maybe we have to go back." A white colonel with a beard said, he held a good gun, and was called Sharpshooter Yoda by the team members.
They were almost at the end of the plain, and ahead lay a deep forest. From time to time, a sharp mountain peak is inserted in the forest, and the top of the mountain is hidden in the low-hanging clouds, and flashing lightning flashes explode from time to time in the low-lying thick clouds. The whole forest feels very bad, dark and lifeless. Especially at the edge of the forest, the green grass that originally covered the plain has disappeared there, thus forming a dead zone.
"Maybe, but don't forget our responsibilities." Ruijin said loudly, the wind is breathing here, and it is impossible to convey his voice without raising the volume. "If this task is simple, then what does General Lu Sen want us to do? It is because this task is very difficult. It is difficult, so we can reflect our value. Gentlemen and two ladies, the lair of lizard snakes is there, and success is not far away. Want me to turn back here? No, I can’t do it!”
Yoda shrugged, exchanged glances with the others, then raised his hand and said to Rui Jin: "Okay, you are the leader, you have the final say."
Rui Jin nodded, but he is not a reckless person. His intuition told him that the forest was not safe, so he asked the team members to get ready and rested for ten minutes before entering the forest.
Not long after entering the forest, the light became extremely dim. Looking up, the sky in the forest was blocked by the black canopy, leaving only fragmentary gaps, and every plant and tree here showed some kind of malice. It was as if the forest was alive and watching these uninvited people. The lizard snakes still left enough traces in the forest. It seemed that they passed through the forest, so the team hardly stopped. Following these traces, they also went deep into the forest.
After two hours, Ruijin had to stop the team to rest. After entering the forest, the oxygen is obviously much thinner than outside, and there is still a faint mist floating in the forest, which makes it more difficult to tell the direction inside the forest. Fortunately, there are traces of lizard snakes as road signs, otherwise they would have to get lost here.
While resting, the sharpshooter came over, squatted next to Rui Jin and said softly: "Something is wrong, head. It's too quiet here. Do you remember the plain we passed by when we came here? There are many animals there, but there seems to be one in the forest. There are no animals either. Except for the traces left by the lizard snake, there are no traces of other animals' activities."
"I also found out, don't think about anything now, the ecology of the forest will be left to experts to study in the future. Our task is to find the lizard snake's old den, and then retreat, it's as simple as that."
"All right."
Suddenly there was a scream.
Rui Jin and Sharpshooter raised their heads at the same time, and the voice came from another female member. Pointing to a tree in front of her, she shouted, "There is someone, I see someone up there."
"Illusion, are you?"
"I didn't see anything."
Several team members shook their heads one after another, they didn't see anything at all on the dim tree branch. At the end of the sentence, a black line suddenly shot from above the forest. There was a loud sound of breaking through the air, Yoda roared, and quickly pulled out his gun to shoot. A bullet of Yuanli intercepted precisely on the trajectory of the black line, sparks exploded, and something fell onto the grass. It was a black bone spur, which was doped with metal particles, which made the spine extremely hard, otherwise it wouldn't even be blown up by Yuanli bullets.
There was a rustling sound in the forest, and it sounded like something was crawling through the trees.
Rui Jin picked up the cannon and gestured, and the team immediately gathered together. Everyone back to back, forming a defensive formation.
"We need a little light." Rui Jin said deeply.
Debon immediately adjusted the appearance of the magic pistol, and then shot a luminous bullet into it. This light bomb shines brightly over the forest, and the luminous body can last for about an hour, and one hour is enough to solve a battle.
In the light, there are many strange sounds around the forest, which are abnormal noises formed by hurried syllables. Rui Jin's face was gloomy when he heard it, it was obviously a language they didn't know. At this time, a few leaves fell from the top of the head, Rui Jin suddenly raised his head, and saw a person quickly climbing down from the tree trunk.
In other words, it is a snake man!
