Gong Cha walked over and patted Song Pingzi on the shoulder. He wanted to say something to comfort him, but when he reached his lips, his words turned into a long sigh. Immediately, in front of Song Pingzi, he took out his travel card, rescued all the remaining six members of Team 36 safely, and reported everything to Captain Mengdai.
Not long after, Monty's reply arrived, "Stand where you are."
These four simple words represent many layers of meaning.
Song Pingzi didn't say a word. He was physically weak at this time and really had no energy to think about these things.
But now that the members of Team 36 have left, he doesn't have to worry about recovery speed anymore. He was running the Jishan Heart Sutra with all his strength, and the state was no longer at that of Blue Star. It only took him three hours to recover.
Except for him, everyone in the two teams took turns going outside to keep an eye on the swamp, and no one had any objections. The main items of this mission were completed, and the rest was uncontrollable, so no one felt relaxed.
However, the gold-seeking rat was tugging gently in Song Pingzi's arms, and Song Pingzi felt as if there was something extra in his arms. He reached into his arms and touched it. The tentacles turned out to be like roots, and his heart tightened. He quickly checked with his spiritual sense and found out that it didn't matter, which shocked him.
In his arms were actually three rhizomes of Purple Garden, with a little bit of mud from the swamp.
He quickly put the three Purple Garden rhizomes into the Qiankun Ring, and his mind began to become confused. Now he was in trouble. In the swamp, he asked the gold-seeking rat to see if there was anything unusual, but he didn't expect that the gold-seeking rat had a habit of stealing treasures. Now it would steal not only metals, but also medicinal materials.
But seeing that this Purple Garden has only rhizomes and no purple flowers on it, it doesn't matter. It must be because there is a fourth-level star beast on the ground, so the gold-seeking mouse only cut off the rhizomes.
How long can a purple garden survive without rhizomes? Will it cause the star beasts to become furious again? Moreover, the Gold-seeking Rat sent a message saying that in order to avoid the star beasts discovering it, it still stole it under the noses of three fourth-level star beasts. Some star beasts had more than one in front of them. They definitely didn't find it, otherwise they wouldn't be able to return to the cave quietly.
The gold-seeking rat's idea is correct. If they leave immediately, or if they don't monitor whether these star beasts are rioting, this method is definitely the best. By the time the star beast noticed it, they were already far away. But the current situation is that they can't leave at all, and Monti asks them to "stand firm."
If we want to find a way to get everyone out of the swamp, we must at least retreat to a farther safe distance. However, how can we explain this reason clearly to the two team leaders?
Before he could think of a way, the roar of the star beast came from outside the cave.
Song Pingzi sighed helplessly, but there was still no time. Thinking about it, it's been a few hours, so it would be strange for a flower without a rhizome to not appear abnormal.
Hearing the sound, everyone in the cave became nervous. I just hope that like the last time Zhen Mi stole Zixiangyuan, she just vents her anger and stops after a while.
But the more you are afraid of something, the more it will happen. The star beast's roar became louder and louder, and the sky and the swamp roared in response. You could hear that the roar was full of anger!
"It's not like Team 36 went back to steal the Zixiang Garden, right?" Gong Cha just finished speaking and denied his guess. You must know that the effect of the Invisibility Pill has long been gone after such a long time. At this time, even if Zhen Zhen Mi's 36th team is still on its way back, and is also in a state of exhaustion. It’s impossible to have the courage! Otherwise, they would not be trapped in the swamp waiting for rescue.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Song Pingzi said without explaining the reason: "I think we should stay farther away from the swamp before monitoring, otherwise if the dozens of fourth-level star beasts in the swamp rush out, we will definitely die. "
Gong Cha did not doubt that Song Pingzi had any other purpose in saying this. It was indeed for everyone's safety. Moreover, Song Pingzi had been in the swamp and knew how many real fourth-level star beasts there were. He did not go to discuss with Wei Kongyou, ask everyone to exit the cave, and retreated to the distance.
Wei Kongyou was completely at a loss at this time, and he didn't have any ideas. They had no choice but to take the people from the Xinghe team along with them. The twenty people withdrew about five miles away, and saw that the originally clear sky above the swamp began to roll in with thick clouds.
"What is going on?" someone in the team asked in surprise.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a black mist suddenly rising from the direction of the swamp, directly upward from the swamp, and instantly dispersed over the entire sky.
While everyone was in shock, the black clouds in the sky began to roll more violently, and some black things could be faintly seen moving among them.
Song Pingzi's eyes could not see clearly what was in the black mist, but as the black mist began to rise, the roaring star beasts in the entire swamp all became quiet, which was very strange.
"What is this mist?" Song Pingzi asked Gong Sha next to him humbly.
"I don't know, but it can make all the star beasts quiet. I guess it's not a natural situation. Let's take a look first and make sure nothing happens." Gong Cha was very nervous. He also saw that Wei Kongyou might not have much to hope for. You still have to think about the follow-up matters yourself. However, everyone in Team 36 who is still alive is safe. This has completed the basic task.
As for the suppression of the star beast group arranged by the captain, this is neither a task of the mission hall, nor can it really be accomplished. The most they can do is observe and remind them. Therefore, he immediately informed Captain Monti of this sudden vision.
While Gong Sha was waiting for the captain's reply, four hooves stretched out from the black mist. The black mist gathered visibly to the naked eye. To be precise, it should have been sucked into a huge mouth.
This huge mouth was so big that when Song Pingzi and the others looked at the sky five miles away, they could only see the lower jaw. The cave they stayed in had been completely buried by the rolling mud.
And this was just the beginning. Thousands of star beasts actually made mournful sounds at the same time, seeming to be narrating something.
The giant mouth was raised towards the distance, which was the direction of Yicaicheng. A thick tongue in the mouth went straight forward. Even before Song Pingzi could see whether it was a tongue or something else, a thunder came from the direction of Yicaicheng. A crashing sound.
Then, the thing that moved forward quickly retracted like lightning. The giant mouth made a huge "frog" sound.
"It's a frog." Gong Sha's mouth began to tremble.
Song Pingzi was a little shocked when he saw Gong Sha's appearance. What on earth was this that could frighten Gong Sha like this? But the way Gong Sha looked now, let alone giving him an answer, he probably wouldn't even dodge even if he was punched.
But from the direction of Yicai City, a bright female voice sounded, "Liao Frog, what are you going to do?"
"Yunzi, your men are a little unruly and ruined my big event. This time it's a warning!" Above Song Pingzi and the others, a human voice came out of the giant mouth called Liao Frog.
After saying that, the big mouth lowered again, and the more than a thousand star beasts actually took the initiative to fly into the big mouth. The giant mouth seemed to shrink downwards, and all the originally diffuse black mist dissipated. Only then did Song Pingzi roughly see that it was a creature shaped like a "frog". The body squatting in the swamp flicked and disappeared directly in front of their eyes. Flying towards the beyond of Yicai Star.
Suddenly, dense black dots began to rain in the sky, falling into the swamp five miles ahead of them, where there was now a large black pit. Those little black dots are the mud that covered the frog's body before he left.
Song Pingzi and Gong Sha looked at each other. They had always been on the frog's back. The so-called swamp was probably the dirt and dust accumulated on its back over many years.
But the voice of the woman just now came from the direction of Yicaicheng, "Liaowa, are you going to break your promise?"
However, the frog had already left without leaving even a reply.
Whether such a huge creature has always been on Yicai Star or whether it was later hidden under it, Gong Sha and the other twenty people definitely don't know.
"What should we do now?" Wei Kongyou was the first to react and looked at Gong Sha.
"I know what to do and I don't have to stand here with you stupidly." Gong Sha replied angrily. It seems that "suppressing the star beasts" is not just a joke, they are all walking on the edge of death.
The travel card that Gong Sha still held in his hand came with a message from Meng Di, the captain of the third brigade, "If you are still alive, all come back."
He looked at Wei Kongyou, who took out his travel card, but there was no message on it. However, they were all together at this time, so it seemed that Monti knew about it, so he only summoned him to tell him.
"Let's go!" After receiving the reply, Gong Sha said to Song Pingzi beside him, "Go back! The target tasks are gone."
The two teams got on the flying boat and returned to Yicai City.
However, at the gate of the city, they saw five corpses on the ground. They were the people of Zhen Mi's team who had left them and returned, but Zhen Mi's corpse was not seen.
When Gong Sha and the others were verifying their travel badges, they seemingly accidentally asked the city gate guard what was going on with the five corpses on the ground, but the reply they received was very cold, "Mind your own business."
