From the advent of the mountains and seas

Chapter 50
The sudden accident really exceeded the expectations of everyone in the investigation team.

Not to mention that Nangong Lian heard more than one chanting sound.

At first, Qin Qianhu suspected that An Jing was making it up, and wanted to retreat to the beach. When the sound of breathing came from above the canopy, the weird giant face appeared. No matter how absurd, he could only admit the reality.

Did not insist on continuing to act.

Gathering up the dead body, the survey team returned the same way.

By the time An Jing and the others returned to the beach of Penglai Xiandao, the fleet had been docked for some time.

Except for the main ship, which can only be docked at a distance because of its bulk, several guard ships are all docked near the shore.

Thousands of civilians landed on the island, and with the help of the resources carried by the guard ships and hundreds of troops, they quickly built a forward stronghold in a relatively flat area on the shore for the exploration mission of Penglai Xiandao.

The trees near the beach were cut down in large numbers, and the peasants brought them back to be used as building materials. Noisy shouts and scolding from the supervisors could be heard everywhere in the camp. The army led by General Wuwei was responsible for the peripheral security and patrolled non-stop.

A group of brocade guards stood guard outside the central tent, responsible for guarding the upper echelons of the fleet.

An Ning, who walked out of the forest, saw such a bustling scene, and couldn't help but look back at the large forest still shrouded in clouds and fog behind him.

The dividing line between the beach and the jungle is like a isolation belt, blocking the danger inside the island jungle.

At least so far.

The monsters in the jungle have no signs of invading the beach.

Maybe they didn't find it, or maybe they were watching in secret
First time back to camp.

Qin Qianhu took two scholars to quickly return to the tent where Commander Lu was.

The situation on the island is too weird, especially the existence of those giants is even more frightening, and an immediate response must be taken.

Seeing Qin Qianhu leave, the sergeants of the reconnaissance team disbanded and returned to the original team.

There were only three strangers standing at the gate of the camp, not knowing where to go.

Tie Wushuang looked around and found the cooking area in the camp as quickly as possible. He didn't even say hello, and left on his own, without any intention of communicating with An Jing and Nangong Lian.

"Hmph, big fool, no wonder you are valued by the officials and lords. What is the difference between a guy who only knows how to obey orders and a slave?"

Looking at Tie Wushuang's leaving back, Nangong Lian showed disdain, then turned to look at An Jing, squinted his eyes and smiled,
"You still look comfortable, handsome and smart."

"Those human-faced butterflies, what did you find?"

An Jing turned around and walked to the nearby rock, found a flat place to sit down, saw Nangong Lian following, and asked.

"The attack of the butterfly with a human face is extremely deadly. I am a weak woman, how dare I touch it at will?"

"It turns out that this is the cooperation you mentioned. It seems that there is no sincerity."

Before withdrawing from the woodland, An Jing saw Nangong Lian put the poisonous needles of several human-faced butterflies into his satchel.
"You dare to carry the poisonous needle with you, why doesn't it look like you're afraid?"

Nangong Lian was taken aback by being exposed to his small actions in person, and then sat down leaning against An Jing again, bumped his shoulder lightly on his back, and said aggrievedly,
"I just want to keep a backup for myself. This is a little secret between us, don't tell others!"

An Jing raised his feet back and forth to grind the gravel, feeling the hardness of the stone, but did not respond to Nangong Lian, but turned his eyes to the main tent in the camp, the meaning could not be more obvious.

It's not hard to make small reports.

"What a cheapskate, I'll just tell you. The real trouble with the human-faced butterfly is the phosphorous powder on its body. As long as it is inhaled and stung by it, it will immediately trigger a chain reaction."

Nangong Lian complained in a low voice, but helplessly expressed her discovery.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw An Jing's face suddenly enlarged in front of him. The moment his eyes met, Nangong Lian subconsciously leaned back, and then seemed to think of something, and approached with a smile, only to find that An Jing had already retreated to his original position.

"It seems that you know this kind of insect very well."

After the trial was over, An Jing picked up the wine gourd and drank it, and looked at Nangong Lian with meaningful eyes.

Earlier in the jungle, because the bachelor's action of digging clay pots had startled a large group of butterflies, Qin Qianhu and An Jing's first reaction was to swing a knife, but Nangong Lian instantly created a ring of fire to drive the butterflies away.

If this is just a coincidence, then Nangong Lian later pulled out the poisonous needle of the human-faced butterfly and noticed that there was a problem with the phosphorous powder on its body. An Jing never believed that this was also the former who accidentally learned about it.

This woman is more dangerous than imagined!

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Nangong Lian to explain, she got up and walked to the camp.

It's not that he intends to inform, but Qin Qianhu is coming here, obviously looking for them.

Sure enough, as soon as An Jing got up, Qin Qianhu said that Commander Lu and Bachelor Tang wanted to see him.

Probably because he had seen giants up close in the canopy.

"I'm Qin Wenzhao, thank you brother for helping me in the woods earlier."

The two sides met each other, Qin Wenzhao took the initiative to thank him, and then turned sideways to signal An Jing to go with him.

"We have the same goal. Helping you is also helping me. Does Commander Lu have any indications about the situation in the jungle?"

An Jing didn't intend to put on airs, but took this opportunity to ask.

"If there is no accident, the second round of exploration will be carried out soon, and the goal may change."

Qin Wenzhao, who had just finished his report, apparently received new instructions in the tent. Although he could not directly reveal the details, he still gave some hints.
"Scholar Tang is very interested in the words repeated in the monster's mouth."

It is undoubtedly an extremely strange thing that the monsters on Penglai Xiandao actually speak a language similar to theirs.

You must know that this island is nearly a month away from the land by sea, and whether it is the monster in the tentacles of the sea monster or the Buddha on the island, they all show a lot of human-like characteristics, which is obviously against common sense.

Just as An Jing was about to continue asking, he suddenly heard the neighing of a horse from the left, and looked over subconsciously, and happened to see two soldiers carrying bright yellow bags leading the horses out of the camp, and asked in surprise,

"What is this for?"

The complex environment inside Penglai Xiandao is difficult even on foot. Doesn’t riding a horse make exploration more difficult?
"Misunderstood, this horse is not used for exploration, but for communication, you can understand it when you look over there."

Qin Wenzhao waved his hand with a smile, pointing to a rope-tied device similar to a Kongming lantern that had just risen from the coast. The surface was covered with bright red cloth, which was particularly conspicuous.

Seeing this, An Ding immediately remembered that there was more than one fleet landing on the island, and then suddenly realized.

In order to find the elixir faster.

The imperial court arranged for three fleets to land on Penglai Xiandao from three directions, and the communication of information between them was extremely important.

From this point of view, this device that looks like a Kongming lantern should be a prop for positioning.

Soldiers on horseback deliver messages along the beach.

Just don't go into the jungle.

How much security is guaranteed.
