The First Evolution

"First Evolution ()"

After listening to Jordan's words, Fang Linyan was taken aback and said:

"Go back now? Back to your canyon camp? It's going to be dark soon, it's a bit far."

Jordan shook his head and said:

"Don't be so troublesome, just go to Yanchi."

Hearing what she said, Fang Linyan breathed a sigh of relief:

"Okay, let's take you there."

Jordan knew that human machinery was very powerful in long-distance transportation, so she did not refuse, and when she left, she also explained a few words to the clan, nothing more than to clean the battlefield well and not cause trouble.

When leaving, you can see that the centaurs outside are very active and careful when cleaning the battlefield.

Many things that Fang Linyan and the others thought were completely garbage were picked up by these people as if they were treasures, even half a piece of tattered animal skin was not spared. It is also quite embarrassing, and the living materials should be quite scarce.

At this time, I knew that Jordan was going to pass, and two centaurs also accompanied them, and brought some of the loot that had been sorted out.

Bai Ruide also clearly realized the importance of this group of centaur allies, and obviously did not want to let Fang Linyan and others monopolize such resources, so he said:

"In this way, wrench you go with Jordan, the vulture and the goat stay and do me a favor, and I will send Ali to do the errands for you."

Ali is a black man who looks very lean, a typical muscular stick.

Well, if you want to describe it by reference, the famous NBA fashionista, famous selfless player, famous team player, famous rebounder Wesker Brooks is almost his template.

Ali smiled at Fang Linyan, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"Please take care of me."

Fang Linyan nodded and said:

"Small things."

Next, in order to save people and provide live navigation guidance, Fang Linyan drove the all-terrain vehicle very fast, about an hour or so, and drove to the vicinity of the Yanchi camp of the Magram centaur family.

The exact location of the Salt Pond is located in an underground rift valley, which is very hidden. There are only seven or eight tents of different sizes.

However, there are still a lot of shrubs and grasses growing next to the salt pond. Probably because of genetic problems, the saline-alkali land that makes it difficult for ordinary plants to take root is like fertile soil for them, and the growth is very good and lush.

These plants are all salt-secreting plants, also known as salt-expelling substances, much like people perspire to expel salt from the body.

The plants here include sagebrush, mangroves, petal scales, etc. They grow in the soil with more salt, and the plants absorb a lot of salt, but the salt does not accumulate in the body. Instead, it secretes salt glands through the salt-spitting structure on the surface of the leaves to excrete excess salt from the body to prevent damage caused by excessive salt accumulation.

Centaurs are specially designed to collect the salt secreted on the surface of the leaves of these plants and sell them as high-quality products. At the same time, they strictly protect the salt-spitting plants, only allowing them to breed nearby, while the rest of the plants are all pulled out. .

In addition, there are seven or eight large wooden stakes around, and Fang Linyan didn't know what it was for a while.

In such a feng shui treasure, it is obvious that the Magram centaurs have always kept observation posts, so when Fang Linyan and the others approached, there were already five or six centaurs waiting in line, holding the spear tightly in their hands, and it seemed that they would be ready to disagree. Open to dry.

However, when Jordan and two centaurs with large bags and small bags appeared, these centaurs who were facing the enemy immediately approached excitedly, and when they were counting the spoils, they raised their spears and sent Excited "yo yo yo" voice.

In this high morale situation, Jordan said that he was going to prepare herbal medicines, and he immediately got a positive response from the group, and everyone started to work immediately.

Because the all-terrain vehicle that came on had some minor faults on the road,

Therefore, Fang Linyan carried out maintenance directly after parking.

After he had repaired it properly, it had been almost half an hour, so he wandered around curiously.

It was already dark at this time, and a bonfire had already been lit in the center of the camp. There were two female centaurs lying in a tent around them. They were wrapped in black straw turbans and dressed like Jordan. Herbs are processed.

After taking a few more glances, Fang Linyan found that the processing process is quite simple. Almost all fruit herbs are peeled, dried, placed in special jars, and then fumigated with fire. Some plant herbs are separated from roots and stems. , after mashing, squeeze out the juice inside, and pour it into the bamboo tube next to it for preservation.

And there is also a witch doctor in this tribe. The witch doctor is an old man who is treating a wounded centaur.

Although Fang Linyan didn't have the chance to talk to him, judging from the way the witch doctor treated the wounded and muttered words, it seemed that Jordan was more reliable.

It is worth mentioning that the two centaurs that the witch doctor is treating have just returned from outside. They were out on patrol with an reconnaissance mission, but they encountered a detachment of the evacuated Kyrgyz tribe, and finally managed to escape. return.

In the end, the witch doctor could only save one centaur, and the other centaur died of serious injuries without waiting for the witch doctor's help.

In the face of the death of their companions, the rest of the people did not show much sadness, but two people carried it to the meadow not far away, facing a "big wooden stake" that Fang Linyan had seen before. forward.

The witch doctor walked over to the "big stake" and began to circle around the thing, while humming a sad-sounding song in his mouth.

Only then did Fang Linyan realize that the big wooden stake actually looked like some kind of plant.

Its trunk is thick and round, and it looks like a large wine vat from a distance. Its diameter has reached an astonishing half a meter, but it is generally not tall, and it looks like more than one meter to two meters in the sky, and the tree body is covered with The density of the thorns can keep pace with that of the cactus.

While the witch doctor was going around in circles, a centaur came out with a pot and watered the root of the "big stake". After the water was poured down, the top of the thing began to slowly stretch out. Lots of tendrils.

In just ten minutes, it changed from a stubby big stake to a pot-like shape like a radar antenna. Of course, the crown part above is composed of countless dense and tough tendrils.

According to Jordan's introduction, the plant is called "Dolan Carr", and there is a beautiful story:

Legend has it that "Dolan Carr" was bestowed by the god Thora to the centaurs, and what Fang Linyan saw at this time was only a seedling.

In the heyday of the tribe, there was a mature Dolancar, which could enjoy the shade under the huge shade, nourishing fruit and branches and leaves with medicinal properties, and the branches of the tree were all kinds of strange, exactly like the roots of trees, as if the roots grew in It's the same as the "upside down tree" on the head.

Immediately afterwards, I saw the dead Magram centaur being sent to the canopy of Dolan Carr's tendrils, and then tightly wrapped by those tentacle-like leaves.

As the deceased was sent into it, all the centaurs beside him also began to sing an elegy, which also sounded like a dirge from an elves. The sadness was long, and there was no lack of solemnity. The hoarseness was full of a kind of primitive taste.

As the singing sounded, Fang Linyan could feel a touch of sadness, and Dolan Carr's bark actually had layers of strange ripples, which looked both fantastic and real.

I heard that it only takes one day and one night for the fallen warrior to be absorbed by this magical plant, without even leaving ashes.

Jordan told Fang Linyan that this was the funeral ceremony of their centaurs. The centaurs respect nature, and funerals are held by witch doctors. The incantations are handed down by shamans, which can help the dead return to the embrace of Mother Earth.

After the dead are turned into nutrients for trees, their souls can be redeemed, and the witch doctor who cast the spell is his own herbal teacher.

Centaurs respect the deceased, believing that the remains cannot be insulted in any way, otherwise their souls will not be able to rest in peace, and they will not even have the chance to be reincarnated after death.

In this way, Dolan Carr is like a centaur's body transformation factory, not only providing them with precious medicinal materials, but also giving them religious beliefs.

And because of the special relationship between centaurs and Dolan Carr, whenever the centaurs see this squat tree, they will have a touch of respect in their hearts, as if they have seen old friends and ancestors who have passed away. Let them treat the tree like family.

Next, Jordan cut a knife on Dolan Carr's bark, and immediately noticed that there was some thick juice flowing out of it. The key point was that the juice could still shine with a faint phosphorescence, which looked a little weird.

Jordan also let out a long breath and said:

"Whether your companions can be rescued or not depends on whether you can get Dolan Carr's sap -- this is the main medicine of the antidote, and it can only be secreted after our sacred tree has been sacrificed. of."

Fang Linyan nodded and said:

"So how soon will I get the antidote?"

Jordan said:

"soon."

And Fang Linyan immediately knew what Jordan meant by "soon", that was really fast, at most one minute later.

The antidote is to soak Dolan Carr's juice and the previously treated pills together. Well, it doesn't look good in appearance and tastes very bad, at least it caused a lot of trouble to Fang Linyan's nose.

There is also unfortunate news that this drug has an expiration date, and the centaur's time unit is "heap", which is the time that a bonfire can burn.

Jordan told Fang Linyan that the timeliness of this thing is two "stacks", and it only takes about four hours, but it is already dark now. If it is delivered by tomorrow morning, the wounded will not be able to last until then, and the antidote is also will expire.

In this case, Fang Linyan and the two must have the only option to rush back to the temporary base overnight.

Fortunately, the salt mines in Jordan are not far from the temporary camp, and it only takes less than an hour to drive the all-terrain vehicle, so Ali is determined to return. After thinking about it, Fang Linyan decided to go back to deliver medicine.

Soon, the two of them drove directly on the road. Fang Linyan drove the car for a day today, and he was a little tired, so he leaned directly behind and rested.

Driving on this long wasteland, the roar of the engine of the all-terrain vehicle was not too loud. At this time, it was also heard far away in the quiet night. Because they were not familiar with each other, Fang Linyan and Ali did not. what an exchange.

Suddenly, Ali said:

"Hey, slow down, look what's on the right?"

Fang Linyan immediately looked to the right and found that there was a little light there. It seemed that there was even a tent, and the tent was actually the style of a temporary camp. There seemed to be two figures in the tent, but they looked from a distance. It's not very clear.

At this time, Ali had already driven the all-terrain vehicle over there, and shouted excitedly at the same time:

"Wow! I thought that Aijie and the others who were out on patrol were dead, but I didn't expect to camp here."

"I see. Most of them encountered the evacuated offal, so they had to run here to avoid the limelight."

Unexpectedly, when he was a few hundred meters away from the camp, there was already a sloping rocky beach in front of him, where the all-terrain vehicle could no longer drive. Ali could only stop the car, then opened the door and walked down, facing Fang Linyan at the same time. road:

"Hey, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and help. There are still wounded among them. We have to pick up someone and hurry up."

Fang Linyan didn't say much after listening to Ali's words, and also got out of the car. After the two walked about fifty or sixty meters, Fang Linyan suddenly frowned and said:

"Something's wrong, the people in the tent didn't even move!"

After hearing this, Ali suddenly froze in his heart, but he was still a little unwilling, but at this time, there were a lot of "Sisisoso" sounds around, and there were even a lot of mixed hums.

There was venomous hatred in that voice, as if the two of them would be smashed to pieces.

Immediately afterwards, behind those stones, there appeared a pair of things that looked like light green ghosts, and they were the eyes of the scavenger wolf! !

Obviously, the intelligence of the Kyrgyz centaurs who fought against Fang Linyan and the others during the day was surprisingly high!

The Aijie patrol that Ali said was obviously wiped out, and the Kyrgyz centaurs did not retreat completely after they left. They set up a simple and vicious trap directly using the patrol's corpses and the baggage they carried.

Ali is actually not stupid, but his concept still believes that humans are superior and underestimate the wisdom of these indigenous creatures, so he has to pay a fatal price.

Fang Lin Yan turned around and rushed to the car without saying a word. He was also careless and followed Ali habitually. As the saying goes, tigers all take a nap, but this time the mistake was not fatal, but Fang Linyan didn't bother to pay attention to Ali at this time.

However, Fang Linyan hadn't approached the ATV yet, and the wolves who were rushing in front were also fast, rushing directly to the front, and even a few wolves were standing on the roof of the ATV.

Not only that, the large group of wolves also began to roar one after another, and then began to shrink the encircling net, speeding up and swarming.

As soon as Ali gritted his teeth, knowing that life and death were at stake, he directly changed into a unique magazine, and then quickly picked up the equipped K-14 automatic electromagnetic rifle and fired, continuously strafing the wolves.

The 8MM special "thorn spike" bullet was violently vented in the tongues of flame that spewed out of the muzzle, and shot the wolves that came in with a precise attack. Immediately, Ali brought down several Wargs who were charging ahead.

Fang Linyan also cooperated with Ali to shoot at this time. The two fought and retreated at this time. The gunshots continued to sound under the night sky, and the screams continued. In just a dozen seconds, the vicious vanguard of the wolf pack was severely damaged:

About seven or eight Wargs were killed or injured by the frantic shooting of the two, and the ones killed were basically the special depleted uranium bombs used by Ali, while the rest were still hovering around them, dodging constantly. Detour, waiting for an opportunity to launch a surprise attack.

The harsh sound of gunfire and wolf howls were intertwined, and the Warg and Kyrgyz centaurs were also attracted from afar. Fang Linyan followed behind Ali, advancing step by step towards the all-terrain vehicle. Before the group arrived, they rushed back into the car.

And Ali was really lucky. If it wasn't for Fang Linyan's breakage, he used his powerful strength to block the door of the car, and any member of the rescue team would not be able to do this.

But at this time, the front of the all-terrain vehicle was surrounded by many black-painted wolves, and the pair of terrifying green pupils kept shining, completely blocking the water around the vehicle, and some even started to eat the body and tires.

Not only that, but at this time, an elderly centaur with a staff appeared out of the darkness, murmuring something in his mouth, and when Fang Linyan found it, this guy's staff was already facing here. One finger!

You can see it immediately, a bunch of blue and white lightning is aimed directly at this side and flew over!

Lightning Bolt!

The lightning bolt hit the front of the car accurately, and the lights inside the ATV flashed for a while, and then went out weakly.

Fang Linyan lost a reconnaissance in the past, but found that his reconnaissance was incomparable to that of a vulture, so he could only detect this guy's name:

Kyrgyz calls the Thunder Master!

I didn't see this guy during the day, so the most reasonable explanation is that the Kyrgyz tribe came to reinforce.

Ali frantically pressed the key to try to ignite, but the all-terrain vehicle fell off the chain and couldn't start at all.

At this moment, a bright searchlight was shot in the distance, and it was an all-terrain vehicle to assist. The driver directly stepped on the accelerator to the end, making the vehicle like a beast to aim at the wolves from the periphery. shock.

After the all-terrain vehicle accelerated, with the violent agitation from the engine, it ran into the wolves. Several wolves were hit and flew into the air, and even the tracks of the all-terrain vehicle were covered with smears. Turning bright red, the vehicle rampaged through the frightened wolves, and the people in the car could only endure the violent bumps.

Seeing someone coming to help, Fang Linyan and Ali shot frantically without any effort, and the all-terrain vehicle also made a side-slip drift, and a few wargs who wanted to try to attack did not have time to dodge. The side of the terrain vehicle was knocked out.

At the same time, several firing ports of the all-terrain vehicle opened at the same time, and a large number of fire tongues spit out, causing blood to splatter all over the pack of wolves.

At this time, the Kyrgyz Thunder Caller shot again, but in the dark night, the blue and white lightning in its hands was too conspicuous when it chanted, and someone immediately shot a grenade over, making it honest , let out a cry of pain.
