Looking around, I saw a beetle throwing the team member who was hit by a stray bullet that day to the ground, stretching out its long esophagus, and was about to pierce it.
"Ta-ta-ta!" Chen Xing pulled the trigger and hit the beetle. The slurry splashed, but it could not stop the beetle's movement.
Just as the team member was about to be stabbed in the head by the esophagus, a tall figure suddenly rushed from the side, hugged his shoulders, and slammed away the sickle beetle. Taking a closer look, it was the muscular man Aaron.
"Chi!" The sickle beetle raised its sharp forelimbs and made an angry sound. Aaron grew up and spoke, yelling back.
The next moment, one person and one insect collided with each other. Aaron obviously didn't have enough strength and was knocked out. At this time, Ye Yang Bailiu had arrived and hit the sickle beetle's hind limbs with a hammer, directly limping it. Then he kicked it away again.
"Ta-ta-ta!" "Ta-ta-ta!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" Two assault rifles and several pistols fired at the same time, sending the beetles rolling all over the ground and making high-pitched insect sounds. .

After a while, the battle ended, and Chen Xing harvested three finger-sized red crystal nuclei.
[Physique & Energy Crystal (Sickle Beetle), about 4 grams]
[Market price estimate: 4~5 gold coins (World Bank)]
Looking at the three insect corpses on the ground that were riddled with holes, with broken carapace and flowing yellow slurry, Chen Xing waved and was about to leave. Although the carcasses of the sickle beetles are worth some money, carrying them on the truck will emit an unpleasant smell, which will affect the team members' ride.
But Carrot rushed out and shouted, "Take them away, they are all good things. You can use them as fertilizer when you go back."
Hearing what the former said, all the team members in the truck frowned and seemed very unhappy. But Carrot didn't care. He took off a small bag from his waist, poured out three round dark red beads, and stuffed them into the body of the sickle beetle.
"What is this?" Chen Xing asked.
"Grow the seeds of the blood-sucking vines first, and then plant them later. They will definitely be powerful." Carrot said excitedly, sweeping away the previous haze.
Since the wilderness tree herder insisted, Chen Xing had no choice but to support it and signaled the team members to move the body onto the truck.
In the next two days, they were relatively lucky and didn't encounter anything special.
From time to time, one or two sand sparrows flew over the sky, emitting a crisp cry. As far as the eye can see, patches of red soil and clumps of shrubs and weeds dot the dry wasteland as far as the eye can see.
Chen Xing had nothing to do and couldn't sleep, so he flirted with Ye Yang Bailiu.
"Captain Ye, you performed very well in the battle the day before yesterday." Chen Xing said seriously.
"Thank you." Ye Yang Bailiu nodded and expressed his acceptance of the appreciation.
"But..." Chen Xing prolonged his voice.
"Please advise." Ye Yang Bailiu turned his head slightly and said seriously.
"I think your approach is a bit risky." Chen Xing looked like a boss caring about his subordinates, "It wouldn't be good if he got hurt." He originally wanted to say something nice, but he didn't expect that Ye Yang Bai Liu showed no appreciation and simply said, "You mean, I should watch the bugs rush over and bite you?" Her tone and demeanor were very serious, as if she was having an academic discussion.
"Uh..." Chen Xing was choked for a moment, but he quickly thought of a counterattack, leaned over and asked, "Aren't you..." He deliberately lowered his voice, "Do you want me to die? Or... He grinned, "Reluctant to part with it?"
"Well, I can't bear to do it." Ye Yang Bailiu nodded, then changed the subject and said bitterly, "How can you let others get there first before I smash your head?"
"Is there no room for negotiation?" Chen Xing asked pleasantly.
"No." Ye Yang Bai Liu shook his head and replied. The ponytail jumped up and down, looking very resistant.
"I think there should be something more than hatred between us..." Chen Xing said earnestly.
"No, there is only hatred." Ye Yang Bailiu said through gritted teeth.
"Really?" "It's absolutely true." "Classmate Bailiu, you really make me feel sorry for you to say this." "Nine times out of ten, life will be unsatisfactory, so just go to sleep."
"Miss Ye Yang, you seem to be very arrogant." Chen Xing glanced at Ye Yang Bailiu and said.
"Yes, I am just arrogant, what's wrong?" Ye Yang Bailiu raised his chin, revealing his snow-white neck, like a proud peacock.
"So..." Chen Xing showed a mysterious smile and asked, "Do you need me to remind you how you begged for mercy that night?"
"How dare you!" Ye Yang Bailiu raised his eyebrows with murderous intent.
"Don't dare, I'm just proposing to you." "How shameless!" "Why am I so shameless? Did I steal something?"
"You... Just say it again!" Ye Yang Bai Liuxing's eyes widened, his eyebrows stood up, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I... I will fight with you!"
"It's not necessary." Chen Xing said sincerely, "We are born from the same roots, so why be in such a hurry?"
"Who has the same roots as you!" "Keep your voice down, don't let anyone hear you." Chen Xing looked at Xiao Yang and Carrot in front of him and said in a low voice.
Yeyang Bailiu was stunned for a moment, and then the red tide soared, even the roots of her ears were red. When he realized that the two people in front of him didn't notice their conversation, he felt relieved, said "hum", turned away, and stopped talking to Chen Xing.
On the afternoon of the fifth day, a dead poplar tree appeared on the edge of the gravel road. From a distance, there is a skeleton hanging on the tree that has existed from that era/beginning.
There are three wooden signs nailed to the two legs of the skeleton, which read:
Roast Duck Town, 181km eastbound.
Meiren Town, 176km westbound.
Orchid Town, 113km northbound.
Seeing that the destination was approaching, everyone cheered. Along the way, although the danger was not too great, I slept on tenterhooks every night, and the food was not very good, so I seemed a little tired.
After all, they are all novices, otherwise they would not join the edge town's garrison. Instead, they would join the medium and large mercenary groups, or the big town garrison with higher salary, or the red dragon garrison directly under the principality.
