Let's suffer a little longer, fellow Blue Star folks.

The rest of the entourage are Tianji, Erwuzai, Mirage Tank and Rouzong.

Speaking of rice dumplings, she is actually the second-in-command in this team.

After all, she had stayed in that mine for many days and personally dug hundreds of kilograms of ore. She was considered the person most familiar with this vein in the gathering place.

"Then let's go."

After briefly confirming the situation with Li Shan, Alps and others officially set off.

However, because he was worried about any accidents during the negotiations, Tang Yi also gave Alps a portable communicator.

If you encounter any trouble or are unsure about something, you can communicate with Xia Keyu or Tang Yi at any time.

In fact, the main concern is that they will make some strange decisions.

After all, this game is not MC. If you don’t dig a mine well, you can find the next one.

……

However, compared to Alps and others who went to negotiate with Yunhejun, the players in the gathering place and forum were obviously more concerned about the movements of another group.

At this time, they had already set out for more than two hours.

“The road here is really difficult to walk on.”

Chen Lu chopped the endless bushes in front of him with the long knife in his hand, and looked up at the sky which was completely blocked by the tall treetops.

"So why don't we go the other way?"

He turned to look at Yu Shui who was also clearing the way and asked curiously.

"Didn't I say that before?" Yu Shui was a little helpless.

However, he was used to Chen Lu's bad habits, and the content of the meeting before departure definitely went in one ear and out the other.

At first he thought that this person was pretending to listen to the lecture, but was actually secretly absent.

Later, Yu Shui discovered that it was not the case.

Chen Lu simply doesn't like to use his brain, and when a large amount of information comes flooding in, his brain will immediately go into transparent mode.

All the information would just flow through his head once and then be discharged without a drop left.

"Because we saw the pictures Baileys posted on the forum."

At this time, Oxygen would always appear at the scene, and then answer Chen Lu's questions with a look of contempt and tone.

"Beyond the eastern mountains lies a vast plain. If you want to fight monsters, you can only do so at the foot of the mountain. Going further north, there's no cover at all, and you'll easily be besieged by monsters from all directions."

"In comparison, although the vegetation on the west side is also sparse, there is still some vegetation, and the terrain is a little rougher, so I guess we can find a few safe areas."

Hearing this, Yu Shui also added a sentence at the end.

"And if there's no safe area to rest, coming here to fight monsters would require frequent trips back and forth, which is too inefficient."

Chen Lu nodded, not quite understanding.

"Then why don't we go over the mountains from the east and then make our way to the west?"

Fat Tiger, who had been listening for a long time, also asked curiously.

Ah? There are still experts?

Upon hearing this question, Yu Shuilian paused in his action of clearing the way.

However, since Fat Tiger and Xi Yang were the last to join the team and did not participate in the pre-war meeting, it is understandable that he asked this question.

"It may be because traveling in the valley is safer than traveling in the area occupied by demons." Xiyang, who was following behind a few people, also spoke.

As someone who often goes to the wilderness, I have a keen sense of whether the wild areas are safe and whether it is possible to trek for a long time.

"Correct."

Yu Shui nodded approvingly.

"And there's another reason, which is that the mountain road that Fat Tiger and his friends discovered earlier is just to the west," he added.

"If this area can really support us in killing monsters, we can build a road here, which will save us a lot of travel time."

This is also the reason why he specifically asked Fat Tiger to come.

As for their actions this time, Tang Yi naturally acquiesced to it.

After all, there are no obstacles for the first two of the three conditions in the system task.

The number of players will reach five hundred after the update.

As for the 50,000 units of gas, it is estimated that it can be achieved in a relatively short period of time after the gas stone mine is obtained.

The only thing left is to kill 100 low-level and above demons, but now they have only killed 13.

If we hide in the valley and wait for the demons to wander over, it will take forever!

It just so happens that the internal troubles have been eliminated and the valley has been completely pacified.

Since there are only external threats left, it is natural to encourage players to bravely go out and explore advanced maps.

Especially for advanced players like Chenlu, don't compete with new players for monsters in novice maps like the Valley.

Not only is the experience point small, but the rewards are just a drop in the bucket.

You must go to the other side of the valley to get the best value for money!

"The top of the mountain is just ahead, everyone, come on."

Although it is possible to go around the mountain and pass through the lowlands between the peaks, anyway, since you are here, you can walk for an extra hour or two to climb to the top of the mountain and take in the surrounding scenery.

why not.

However, the higher you go, the less normal paths you can take.

Even near the top of the mountain, it was almost entirely rocky, and the difficulties they encountered when climbing on Blue Star were completely different.

Fortunately, Xi Yang was brought along on this mission.

Although she is only level five now, her combat power is the lowest in the team.

But whether it was analyzing the terrain, climbing over rocks, making simple ropes, or determining direction in the dense forest, it helped the team save a lot of time.

"Now I really admire those who carved out the mountain road."

Fat Tiger struggled to lie on the edge of a rock, then exerted force with his arms and successfully pushed himself onto the rock.

Then he turned around and worked with Chen Lu to pull the three people up one by one.

"call--"

Yu Shui breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the last section of the road ahead. Just as he was about to step forward and give it a try, he suddenly heard a few shouts in his ears.

"Who are you!"

"Don't move!"

Chapter 150 Are there still rebels?

Yu Shui immediately turned around and saw several soldiers wearing Yunhe Army armor walking out from the side, all with loaded guns in their hands, with the black muzzles pointing at the five of them.

"Misunderstand!"

“It’s all a misunderstanding!!”

He quickly waved his hands, then immediately stepped forward to explain:

"We are from that gathering place in the valley. We are now cooperating with your Yunhe Army. We are responsible for clearing out the demons in the entire valley."

"I came here this time just to see if there are any traces of demons nearby. I have no other intentions!"

After hearing this, the leader Yun Hejun softened his attitude a little.

Although they were not soldiers under Chu Tianming, they had heard that a gathering place had recently appeared in the valley, and they had also fought off many monsters together with the Yunhe Army.

However, they still did not put down the guns in their hands, and it was obvious that they were still wary of Yu Shui and others.

"Look at what he's wearing."

Xiyang took this opportunity to stealthily take a step forward, then reached out and tugged at the armor Chenlu was wearing, and then said to the Yunhe soldiers:

"This armor was issued by your Yunhe Army. It can't be fake, right?"

Upon hearing this, several Yunhe soldiers carefully looked at the equipment of Chenlu and others. Except for Xiyang who was not wearing armor, the others were indeed wearing standard Yunhe army armor and firearms.

It’s just that these people were not wearing military uniforms, so they didn’t recognize them at first.

Seeing that the soldiers' faces had become much more relaxed, Yu Shui also very boldly walked forward alone, gently patted the leader's shoulder, and said with a smile:

"It's not that the flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple."

After saying this, he took out some food from his backpack and said to the Yunhe Army:

"Would you like some? We brought some from the gathering area, it's quite delicious."

"no need."

The leader Yun Hejun immediately shook his head.

Although he did not understand the meaning of "the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple", he was sure that these five people were not spies from the north, nor were they refugees who had mistakenly entered this place, so his mission was accomplished.

"After we return to the barracks, I will verify your identities again. I also suggest that you don't go too far north. It's different from the valley. It's full of inferior demons, and there are quite a few low-level demons."

“And there are risks that you don’t know about.”

"Also, if you want to go to the top of the mountain, there's a gentle slope about 300 meters ahead. You can go up from there."

"Remember to be safe."

After saying that, the Yunhe Army did not stay any longer, but turned around and left quickly.

Following the path they pointed, the players quickly found the gentle slope, and then walked up along it for nearly half an hour.

Finally, after going around a mountain wall, the view in front of us suddenly became clear.

The warm sunlight finally emerged from the bushes and rock walls, shining on the five people.

"I rely on."

In front of them was an endless mountain range, and the ridge stretched into the distance like a long dragon.

On the left is where they came from, a lush and vibrant valley. You can vaguely see a long river flowing through it. If you look closely, you can even see the newly built watchtower at the gathering place.

But now it seems that the watchtower is only as thick as a needle.

To their right was another scene, just like the one shown in Baileys’ photo, desolate and like another world.

However, the demons wandering around are still very pleasing to the eye.

Especially Chenlu, who has rested for a few days, is now itching to do it!

"Every time I stand on the top of a mountain and look at the scenery, I am shocked by the world in front of me." Oxygen quickly took a few screenshots, then sent them to the group while saying with a smile.

"If Baileys knew this, she would probably die of jealousy."

It's not just because of the scenery on both sides, but also because of the excellent weather today. It is a once-in-a-lifetime photo opportunity.

"With the map, she will find it herself." Yu Shui said with a smile.

"Let's go. The next step is to go down the mountain. We'd better get out of the mountains in the afternoon and find the first safe zone before dusk."

The five of them were not the type who particularly liked taking photos, so they did not stay on the top of the hill for too long.

And the hillside ahead happened not to be steep, and there were some trees growing here and there. In the absence of a mountain road, this terrain was the best choice for going down the mountain.

Time gradually came to the afternoon. Before Yu Shui and the other four walked out of the mountains, Alps, Rouzong and others also arrived at the ancestral tomb of Fangjia Village.

“Has this place changed so much?”

In just a few days, only the main hall in the middle remained of the original houses in Fangjia Village, and all the houses on both sides had been demolished.

The entrance to the mine was also surrounded by a circle of yellow railings. There was a small gap to the north, and several people were standing in the gap in the railing and going in and out.

They also wore yellow safety helmets, which made them look quite professional.

On the east side of the mine, there are two houses rising from the ground. They are not made of wood, but look a bit like concrete houses.

"The Yunhe Army is quite efficient." Alps said to himself as he looked at the scene in front of him.

When they continued to move forward, they were stopped by Yun Hejun who was on guard on the side.
