Chapter 269 The Discovery of the Second Expedition
The second expedition carefully climbed over the mountain and reached the river at dusk.

The river in front of me is not too wide, but the water and grass along the river are lush, and a large number of water birds are swimming on the water, which makes the place look full of vitality.

The crowd dispersed to find some dry firewood and lit a fire. As night fell, the grassland became extremely quiet.

The thirteen expedition members sat around the fire, talking to each other with unnutritious nasty words, and bursts of obscene laughter from time to time.

The captain of the second expedition was named Zhou Tianshi. After he chose Zhou as his surname, the impact of the meteorite gave him an unforgettable memory, and he felt that the name Tianshi was very commemorative.

After everyone laughed and laughed for a while, Zhou Tianshi's sharp eyes swept over the faces of every member of the expedition team, and asked, "Everyone has been out for more than 60 days. What happened in the past, maybe everyone will die outside this time, are you afraid!"

"Captain, it would be a lie to say that we are not afraid. Since we have all chosen to do this job, as His Majesty said before, the expedition team all live with their heads tied in their belts. If we don't work hard, how can we survive?" Live a good life." A member of the expedition team said emotionally.

"Li Daya is right. If we don't do expedition work, we will probably have to live on military pay just like those soldiers. How can we live comfortably? In the past six months, we have had money on us, and we eat and drink spicy food. Yes, I don’t know how many people have died from envy, even if they died outside this time, I don’t think it’s a loss in this life.” One person laughed.

"I said you kid, I'm not afraid of you dying. Your wife took your son with others? Carrying you alive and doing that with another man?" Zhou Tianshi looked at this man wretchedly.

The man said disapprovingly: "There is nothing to worry about. If I die, my cub will naturally be taken care of by the tribe. As for the woman, whoever she wants to find after I die, if I don't die, lend her courage She didn't dare to do that, haven't you heard that, some time ago, in Tongshan City, a soldier's wife did that, was arrested by the criminal department, stripped naked and tied to a pillar, in front of everyone, He was beaten to death with a whip, and it is said that the skin on his back was smashed."

Speaking of this, everyone immediately became interested, and some people who had never heard of this matter hurriedly asked about the details.

When they heard that the woman was whipped to death, and the adulterous man had his things cut off, and then his head was cut off, everyone's lower body couldn't help but tense.

They all secretly said: "This death is not terrible, but it is too miserable to cut that thing off. This other man's wife should not touch it if he can. It's not worth paying such a price just to have a good time. .”

"So there are such things, no wonder you kid is not worried about your beautiful wife!" Zhou Tianshi chuckled.

Everyone chatted for a while, leaving two watchmen behind, and the others dispersed separately.

In the early morning, the members of the expedition team caught some birds for dinner. After they were full, they replenished the water source in the small river, and the expedition team continued on their way.

Crossing this river, the expedition headed eastward. Apart from encountering a few ferocious beasts along the way, most of the time they did not encounter any particularly terrifying beasts.

A month later, the expedition team walked out of the grassland, and in front of them was a deserted desert.

They had never seen such a terrain before, and they were stunned for a while, not knowing what to do.

"Captain, are we still going forward?" Li Daya asked.

The stone statue of Zhou Tian looked around, sniffed vigorously and said, "Smell carefully."

The others were taken aback when they heard the words, very puzzled.

Li Daya sniffed vigorously, and then his face beamed with joy, "There seems to be a source of water in front."

"Yes, it seems that our good luck has not been used up. Although this area is strange, as long as there is water, we can survive and move on. I want to see what's inside!"

Zhou Tianshi waved his hand, and the expedition team walked into the desert with high morale.

The hot sun baked the sand, and even wearing straw sandals, everyone felt that their feet were extremely hot as if they were on fire.

The desert is extremely desolate, only a few thorns grow tenaciously in this harsh environment.

In order to save the precious water source, the expedition team had to endure the smoky throat and explore forward with difficulty.

After half a day, everyone finally passed through this terrifying desert, but what awaited them was not the sweet river water, but large expanses of exposed rocks.

"Wow...wow..."

After hearing the sound of water hitting the rock, everyone was extremely excited and rushed towards the rock.

When they came to the edge of this rock, the members of the expedition team were full of disbelief in their eyes.

Below the high cliff is a huge lake that can't be seen at a glance, and the raging water keeps beating against the reefs on the shore.

"Team...Captain! Is this the sea His Majesty mentioned?" Li Daya said excitedly.

Before setting off, the primary goal of the Wang Lang team's expedition was to find the sea. If the lake in front of them was really the sea, then they would make a fortune this time.

Zhou Tianshi stared blankly at the lake, and was about to nod his head when a terrifying monster flew over from the sky in the distance, scaring his face pale and shouting in horror:

"Everyone, get down!"

The long-term military training had already formed a conditioned reflex for them. As soon as Zhou Tianshi finished speaking, a dozen people immediately lay down on the rock.

"Whoosh!"

A huge pterosaur roared past the backs of everyone.

The backs of those who escaped were already wet with cold sweat. If Zhou Tianshi hadn't reminded them just now, one of them would have been taken away by that monster.

The pterosaur, which missed a hit, flew into the sky and hovered in the air.

"What kind of monster is this!" Li Daya said with a pale face.

Seeing the monster rushing past again, Zhou Tianshi hurriedly shouted: "Everyone, hide behind the stone."

Hearing the words, everyone didn't dare to delay at all, they dispersed, and hid behind the rock tremblingly, not even daring to show their heads.

The pterosaurs attacked several times, but they had no choice but to take these cunning prey. With a hiss, they waved their huge wings and disappeared into the sky.

Seeing that the danger was lifted, everyone felt relieved and walked out from behind the rock they were hiding from.

"It's really dangerous here! How can there be such a terrifying monster in this world!" Li Daya looked at the direction where the pterosaur was leaving, his eyes were full of disbelief.

"It's not safe here, let's go downstairs!" Zhou Tianshi said with some fear.
