Chapter 137: Anomalies in the Town Boundary Monument (Please subscribe)

The next day, the group came to the Burning Wasteland together.

Speaking of which, after these days, everyone was already familiar with this place. Soon, they entered the legion town through the space gate.

Immediately, everyone split up according to the results of last night's discussion. Some people went to rent cars, and some people went to buy outdoor survival supplies. Half an hour later, a group of five large trucks drove out of Legion Town and headed south. .

The truck is used to carry monster corpses. Anyway, with the monster's physical strength, it is impossible for it to decompose in ten and a half months. After hunting, just throw it into the truck and bring it back together.

It can be said that the camping plan, which is expected to last for ten days, has officially begun.

The action route is actually simple. It is based on the existing map, passing through a jungle, and then passing through several areas where different monsters live, arriving at the southernmost point on the existing map, and then starting to explore the unknown area.

After all, hunting monsters does not actually have much military merit. A first-level monster has no military merit, a second-level monster has one military merit, a third-level monster has two military merits, and so on... As you can imagine, if you want to obtain military merit by hunting monsters, you will be exhausted. Working hard, winning by quantity.

The real source of military success lies in exploring unknown areas.

If a certain amount of space is really opened up in the unknown area, the reward for military merit will be even tens of thousands!

This is the purpose of Li Qianqian and others. With a master like Chen Pingping here, how can they just be satisfied with hunting monsters.

As for military merit, Chen Pingping also had his own needs, so although he saw through their intentions, he did not object.

He wants to obtain military merit and exchange it for high-level ancient weapons.

From this battle with Han Ze, Chen Pingping saw the gap between social warriors and academic warriors.

When he was promoted to the Fourth Realm, he relied on his two great ancient martial arts and thought he could be on par with Han Ze. But after so many days, he had already reached the middle of the Fourth Realm. Before the battle, he thought he would win. .

Who knows, if it weren't for the power of the magic weapon, he would have lost the word properly.

The difference is just above Gu Wu!
However, there is no need to exchange the intermediate and upper-level ancient martial arts for new ones. It is necessary to practice them from scratch. Although "Crazy Blade" and "Shadow" are just ordinary items among the intermediate and upper-level ancient martial arts, they are at least enough. They are mainly for high-level ancient martial arts. Wu.

He can start practicing advanced ancient martial arts at the Seventh Realm, so he has to prepare for promotion to the Seventh Realm. If he just rests on his laurels, when he reaches the Seventh Realm, in terms of combat power alone, he may not have any advantage over those in the same realm.

The convoy continued southbound, and the road was unexpectedly smooth.

Chen Pingping knew that this was intentional by Li Qianqian and the others. They deliberately planned the route based on the existing map and tried to avoid areas where monsters gathered. They traveled all the way south until they reached the edge of the unknown area. Then they came with all the excuses, so they coaxed themselves Start exploring unknown areas.

Hey, this little trick is too tender... Chen Pingping laughed secretly, but he didn't expose it, and closed his eyes to rest.

However, what greatly surprised him was that after the convoy traveled south for more than an hour, he suddenly felt that the boundary monument on his chest had changed and became faintly warm!

This is interesting...

The last time he came to the Burning Wasteland, he conducted a rough search for a period of time. The purpose was to see if there were any strange objects like town boundary monuments in the Burning Wasteland. However, nothing was found. In addition, the main purpose at that time was to explore the ruins. I put it aside for the time being. I didn’t expect that this time I accidentally planted a willow, but it was actually full of green willows? !
Chen Pingping looked strange and waited calmly for 10 minutes. After discovering that the farther south he went, the boundary monument on his chest became warmer, he finally smiled.

It seems that there may be another unexpected harvest this time.

Just as he was looking forward to it, suddenly, the entire convoy came to a stop as the leading vehicle made an emergency brake.

In the end, the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. On the map, there was a small river ahead of what was clearly a smooth road. Well... even though it was a small river, it was more than 20 meters wide, so it shouldn't be passable by trucks.

"It's strange. Why is there a river here?" Li Qianqian got out of the car and frowned while looking at the map that had been downloaded into his phone. "Is there an error in the map? Or did it appear later?"

In any case, the river is blocked here now. It is useless to question. Either keep these trucks or go around them.

"Why don't we take a detour? The truck is still very useful. If we leave it here, our days will be difficult." Peng Hongsheng looked at Chen Pingping and said.

Here, Chen Pingping is naturally the backbone.

Although Chen Pingping really wanted to leave them behind and go to the front alone to see what caused the abnormality on the town boundary monument, but this was obviously unrealistic, so he could only mutter to himself: "The river is more than 20 meters wide, and it may not be possible to bypass it." Short distance...do you have enough fuel?”

"There is definitely enough oil. The issue of battery life was considered in advance. We specially bought five large barrels of oil and put them on the last car." Xia Yang nodded. He was from the Zhan Zhan College and was once a member of Chen Pingping's team.

Chen Pingping nodded, "If you have enough gas, let's take a detour. A truckload of level five monsters is worth a lot of military merit. It's worth taking a little detour."

However, what everyone didn't expect was that the river appeared out of nowhere and had a long history. After driving for a full hour, they didn't go around it. It was still the same small river more than 20 meters wide.

Although in contrast to the bloody rivers everywhere in the outside world, it was very pleasing to see this crystal clear river, but they couldn't get around it, and everyone couldn't help but become agitated.

"Bring some basic tools and give up on the truck..." Chen Pingping finally made the decision.

The earth's crust in the attached plane is not stable. This small river is most likely caused by the movement of the earth's crust. It may directly traverse the entire scorching wasteland. It seems that there is no way around it.

"This is the only way..." Everyone was helpless. Although they were unwilling to do so, they had no choice but to give up.

To be honest, one truck costs hundreds of military merits, and five trucks are worth thousands of military merits. They are really reluctant to part with it, but they have no choice but to choose one of the two.

Of course, before giving up, you still have to drive back for another hour, otherwise this road will really take you a long way.

An hour later, everyone picked and picked up their belongings, abandoned the truck, and prepared to cross the river.Fortunately, everyone has a large-capacity backpack, and there are 23 people, so there is no need to throw away anything.

Crossing the river is easy, only about twenty meters. With everyone's physical fitness, they can easily jump to the opposite side with a little run-up. However, Chen Pingping from the Fourth Realm can jump across immediately without even a run-up.

Of course, he was the first to jump in case there was something underwater.

After An Ran jumped to the opposite side, he asked everyone to jump one by one, while he was always on alert, ready to use his sword to save people at any time.

Fortunately, there was no danger. Five minutes later, all 5 people arrived on the other side.

After crossing the river and walking a certain distance, Chen Pingping took Li Qianqian's mobile phone to check the map, and warned: "About ten kilometers ahead is an unknown area, everyone be careful, follow me, don't mess around run."

"Don't worry, we won't dare to run around if you let us run around." Peng Hongsheng said cleverly.

In response to this, Chen Pingping didn't say anything, and struck directly with a sword light.

Beside Peng Hongsheng, a small spotted snake died instantly!
"It scared me to death..." Peng Hongsheng broke into a cold sweat.

It wasn't that he was afraid of snakes, not to mention that everyone was physically strong, and he also brought a lot of holy healing medicine like [Black Liquid], so he was not afraid of them at all. The main thing was that Chen Pingping's sudden blow made him feel the threat of death.

A blow comparable to the Sixth Realm would definitely kill him instantly.

"It's okay to be afraid!" Chen Pingping glanced at him sideways, "This place is a jungle, with all kinds of snakes, insects, rats, ants, and spider poisons. Try not to make any noise, listen attentively to any abnormalities nearby, and report to me as soon as you find the situation. Warning."

"Yes!" Everyone seemed to have suddenly returned to the scene of receiving command in the ruins, and they couldn't help but responded.

"Well... it would be best to make your voice louder to attract all the nearby monsters." Chen Pingping said angrily.

The crowd laughed.

The difficulty in exploring unknown areas is actually the "unknown". You don't know whether you will encounter a first-level monster, a fifth-level monster, or a higher-level monster in the next second. This is also a rare low-level experience. The reason why warriors are willing to explore unknown areas.

If you are not careful, your life may be in danger.

But if you are lucky, exploring unknown areas is actually very simple.

As long as you don't encounter high-level monsters, just turn on the built-in track recorder of your mobile phone and explore the target area. At most, take some photos to record the monsters in this area. After the military certification is completed, it will be based on the area explored. Big or small, rewards military merit.

Everyone's luck is pretty good. By night, they have explored an area of ​​about thirty square kilometers. So far, no new monster species have been discovered. They have only discovered a second-level monster inhabited area and a fourth-level monster inhabited area.

After the sky darkened, Chen Pingping stopped today's exploration, and together with others, found an area where monsters were not inhabited, set up camp, ate and drank when necessary, and prepared to rest.

Of course, even though it is an area not inhabited by monsters, it does not rule out that some monsters come out to hunt and feed at night, and people still need to keep watch.

For a warrior, not sleeping for two days is not a problem at all, so it is easy to arrange 23 people. Just leave two people without sleeping on the first day, and then rotate them every day.

In this regard, Chen Pingping, who had other purposes, naturally volunteered and asked for a vigil on the first day. Then Peng Hongsheng immediately responded and said he was one of them.

So, after everyone finished eating and drinking, they fell asleep peacefully, while Chen Pingping and Peng Hongsheng extinguished the bonfire and began to keep vigil.

The two of them chatted quietly for a while at first, but after some snoring started to sound around them, they stopped talking and kept vigil silently.

Of course, Peng Hongsheng kept vigil meticulously, while Chen Pingping leaned against a big tree and practiced silently.

This is a required course every day and cannot be left behind!

More than two hours later, the practice was completed. Chen Pingping's eyes flashed with light. The day to advance to the fifth realm was not far away!

But this is not the point. The focus now is to detect the anomalies in the town boundary monument.

He waved to Peng Hongsheng, "It seems to be quite safe around here. No monsters have come close so far... You continue to watch here, and I'll go look around."

"Are you alone?" Peng Hongsheng hesitated.

"Why, are you still worried about me?" Chen Pingping said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm just going around the area to help you explore the area you want to explore during the day tomorrow."

"It's so late... Just go explore together tomorrow during the day." Peng Hongsheng advised.

"Is there any difference between everyone exploring together and me exploring alone? I was lucky today and didn't encounter a high-level monster's settlement. Otherwise, if so many of us invaded a high-level monster's settlement at once, how could I be saved? You have to come here!" Chen Pingping shook his head and continued to fool around, "I'm going to explore the road first so that I can feel more at ease tomorrow. Sometimes, too many people can be a bad thing."

Seeing that he still wanted to talk, Chen Pingping immediately waved his hands, "Okay, okay, it's settled like this, don't worry, it's not like you don't know my strength, it's okay."

"It's up to you, don't let up when you're keeping watch alone. Although it's relatively safer here, you still have to be on guard. Forget it, go and wake up Xia Yang, and you two will keep watch together. I'll be back as soon as I go..."
