From the advent of the mountains and seas

Chapter 61 Taoist
When gathering and dispatching tasks on the beach before.

The number of teams led by General Hu Can is about 70 people.

Accompanied by Nangong Lian and Tie Wushuang, their strength is no less than that of Commander Lu's team.

Now only half of them are left!

There are still many soldiers in the remaining 30 people.

The morale of the entire team was low and gloomy, visible to the naked eye.

Even though they knew they were in danger with the help of the toad box communication, this level of casualties still exceeded Commander Lu's expectations.

An Jing glanced over the gloomy, stumbling soldiers, and paused briefly on Qin Wenzhao, who had a broken arm.

He knew the strength of this Qianhu, and even if he couldn't defeat ordinary monsters, it was not difficult to escape. As a result, less than an hour and a half since the last survey mission, his right arm was missing.

Even though the wound on the severed arm stopped bleeding with only gauze, judging from Qin Wenzhao's pale face, his combat effectiveness had probably dropped to less than [-]%, making it difficult to continue participating in operations.

His gaze finally turned to Nangong Lian and Tie Wushuang, who were not in good condition either.

The former suffered a wound on his left shoulder, and his beautiful black hair was scattered and he had no time to take care of it. He leaned against the tree trunk to rest and took two pills to heal his injuries from time to time. .

"What did you meet?"

Commander Lu went straight to General Hu Shen, fixed his eyes on Nangong Lian and Tie Wushuang, and asked in a cold voice.

Not long ago Commander Lu was still discussing the issue of manpower shortage with Tang Ruosheng, and in a blink of an eye he learned that General Hu's team had lost nearly half of it.

There is no such thing as supplementary troops on this island, large-scale casualties will only make it difficult for the team to move forward.

At this moment, Commander Lu's anger can be imagined.

Considering that the strengths of the two teams are similar, most of them are arranged by her personally, so she knows the basics.

If there are any variables, it is only the existence of aliens.

Therefore, Commander Lu's first reaction was that two strangers were obstructing it, which led to heavy casualties for General Hu Can.

Nangong Lian and Tie Wushuang were immediately aware of the murderous air lock, and subconsciously put up a defensive stance.

Even though he has just experienced a battle, as the commander of the fleet, Commander Lu still has a lot of power, not to mention that the two strangers are also in poor condition and have not yet recovered from their injuries.

The atmosphere in the grass suddenly became tense.

An Jing has no doubt that as long as General Hu utters a bad word about Nangong Lian or Tie Wushuang, Commander Lu will immediately kill them on the spot. She will never allow anyone to destroy the team from within.

Reminiscent of General Hushen's previous attitude towards strangers, An Jing silently adjusted his breath, putting the handle of Nuan Dong's knife on his palm.

If there was a fight, An Jing would definitely be on Commander Lu's side. As for whether Nangong Lian and Tie Wushuang were wronged, he didn't care.

Tang Ruosheng is the key to finding out the truth about the elixir, and it is impossible for An Jing to give up the court's camp.

To put it bluntly, An Jing somewhat doubted whether the motives of the two strangers in front of him were impure.

After all, from the previous actions, he has already noticed that both Nangong Lian and Tie Wushuang are hiding their strength.

"It has nothing to do with them. Although I don't like these strangers, they did put in a lot of effort in the battle just now. Without their assistance, I'm afraid there would be more casualties."

Thought that the battle was inevitable, An Jing never thought that Hu Zhijing would take the initiative to explain to them.

Commander Lu was obviously a little surprised by this. After thinking for a while, he withdrew his momentum, raised his hand to signal the soldiers gathered nearby to disperse, and then asked what happened to Hu Zhijing.

An enemy who can cause such a team to suffer heavy casualties is absolutely extraordinary.

An Jing listened to Hu Zhijing's story of the team's encounters, and was speechless inwardly.

The initial search work went smoothly. Hu Zhijing chose the same method as Commander Lu, that is, the stronger aliens attract the humanoid monsters, and then capture and interrogate them to find out what they repeat.

However, during an operation, the team accidentally broke into the habitat of a large group of human-faced butterflies. At the same time, they also encountered a poisonous insect that looked like a centipede, but could spit out poisonous silk and fly short distances.

"The sudden attack caused our formation to be in chaos, and Nangong Lian and Tie Wushuang were forced to evacuate."

Speaking of this, Hu Zhijing seemed to think of something, his face became particularly ugly, and he said under his throat,

"Unexpectedly, on the way to retreat, we ran into a man, no, it wasn't someone from the landing fleet, but a resident of the island. The guy's torso was no different from that of a human, except for his face, which was covered with clusters of mushrooms. It's disgusting to look at."

"You also met?"

Commander Lu looked at Hu Zhijing in surprise, then raised his finger to the deer's head monster that had just been dissected not far away, and the suspicion in his eyes also eased a bit.

If you encounter this kind of monster, casualties are justifiable.

In fact, if An Ping hadn't exploded just now, among other things, only a few of the 30 or so soldiers would have survived.

At this time, Hu Zhijing, who saw the deer head monster, opened his mouth, and finally just smiled wryly and cupped his hands to plead guilty.

"The final general is dull and incompetent. He failed to complete the task assigned by Mr. Lu. He is willing to suffer any punishment for this!"

They also led the team to encounter this kind of undead who could control monsters. They suffered heavy casualties. On the other hand, Commander Lu only injured a few people.

"It has nothing to do with you. Now is not the time to talk about it. Is there anything special about the monster you met?"

People cannot be resurrected after death, even if they want to question their crimes, it is not at this critical moment. Commander Lu asked immediately.

An Jing on the side also pricked up his ears.

"It claims to be a Taoist, collects 'living pill' materials for immortals, can control monsters in the jungle, zerg and even giants to cooperate with it, and its own strength is also extremely powerful. It can be used to fight close to the body, and there are endless magic tricks when it retreats. .”

Perhaps because of the big loss he had just suffered, Hu Zhijing was particularly impressed by the monster.

Taoist?

Searching for 'living pills' for immortals?
An Jing couldn't help but look at the deer head monster. If he remembered correctly, what the latter said just now should be making alchemy for himself, and the posture he showed was also like a fairy, and the pomp was very exaggerated.

But judging from Hu Zhijing's description, the strength of this deer head monster should be similar to that of Taoists.

Thinking of this, An Jing secretly glanced at the task panel of the Saha system.

The main task [-] has not been completed, which means that the deer head monster is not a fairy, but an existence at the level of a Taoist.

That being the case, why did it deliberately pretend to be a fairy?
Could it be that the deer head monster is not of the same kind as what Hu Zhijing and others met?
