My sampan can be upgraded

Grizzly Bear and Wasp's people set up tents on a higher ground away from the water and close to the woods. Ling Qi saw that Grizzly Bear and others still had blood strips on their heads, but they should not do anything detrimental to them at this time. , then opened the hatch.

Cat Girl was no stranger to this kind of wild environment. She suddenly dug around in the gravel nearby and dug out a scorpion that was bigger than her fist. She held the tail pin and lifted it up. She shouted excitedly: "Brother, there is a scorpion." yeah!"

Ling Qi couldn't help but smile and touched her little head. This little guy is quite courageous!

Jazz landed next to it at this time. He opened the cabin door and saw this scene. He said: "This is still some distance from the water's edge, and the tide will probably not reach it. It's normal to have scorpions, so be careful."

Ling Qi saw that she was still carrying the scorpion and was worried that she would be stung, so she said, "Xiaorou, throw it away. The bite of this thing is very painful!"

"Ah? It's edible!" Cat Girl looked at the scorpion in her hand, with a look of reluctance and thought on her face.

There was a stout elder sister in Jueqi's team. She came over and said, "Give it to me. I will help you process it later. Let's catch some more of such fat scorpions, and we will have the delicious food tonight!"

Cat Girl looked at Ling Qi, and after seeing him nodding, she happily handed the scorpion to the elder sister. The eldest sister casually took off the tail pin, took out a plastic bag to put it in, and then took Kitten Girl to continue looking for the scorpion.

Team Lanbo and Butterfly Flower also came back. They were quite familiar with Ling Qi, and they all stopped next to the Tomahawk. He Mingjun hesitated and came over, forming a large circle. This made the Grizzlies look very unhappy. The Hornets and several players looked at each other and became a little gloomy after the cryptic exchange.

Lan Bo and others began to set up tents and set up energy lamps. Some went to the beach to find fish, while others went into the mountains and forests to find some game, or went to small valleys to retrieve a large amount of fresh water. Ling Qi lamented that Minglan Star’s natural products are so rich. Rabbit, hazel chicken, truffles, black fungus, and all kinds of game can be found everywhere!

"Brother Tomahawk, you didn't bring a tent?" Another young man from the Jazz team couldn't help but asked doubtfully when he saw Ling Qi sitting around watching the fun.

"I don't need a tent!" Ling Qi went over to help get food. With so many people gathering together, it looked like a bonfire party.

The oval-faced woman in the Blue Wave team smiled and said: "The interior of his speedboat is luxurious and comfortable, and the seats can be transformed into a big bed. There is no need to live in a tent like us!"

"I'll actually enjoy it!" Jazz looked at it carefully, shook his head and smiled.

More than twenty tents on stilts occupied a large area of ​​flat terrain. Drugs to repel insects and snakes were sprinkled around them. Four fires were also lit. The thick wood could burn for a long time. Each team took out their portable energy stoves and began preparing food. Ling Qi also brought a set and helped cook a large pot of braised rabbit meat. The meat was so fragrant that many people swallowed hard before eating and praised it.

Next to him, the eldest lady of the Jazz team is also a gourmet expert. She is frying scorpions in a small pot and pairing them with a fresh sauce prepared on site with fresh scallop mince, wild ginger, green onion, wild pepper and chopped mushrooms. The fragrance is unique. , directly evokes people’s desire to drink. She and Kitten Girl found dozens of scorpions. Even if they included grizzly bears, wasps, and others, there was enough for each person to share two. However, judging from the appearance of the two teams, they were casually grilling seafood and animal meat. Plan to come over and have dinner together.

Eighteen people from five teams here shared dinner. The delicious food made their relationship more harmonious, and they talked and laughed. He Mingjun finally managed to eliminate his fear of Ling Qi and was able to interact with everyone naturally. If it weren't for the bright red blood bars reminding Ling Qi at all times, he would have thought this was really a camping trip.

"You'd better prepare roasted meat for a few days. The environment there is a bit special, and there are no conditions for camping like now!" The hornet came over to remind.

The adventurers were suddenly stunned. No wonder these guys were just minding their own barbecue. Lan Bo had no choice but to lead a few people to find more game. They found a nest of wild boars. The largest one weighed at least more than three hundred kilograms, so they hunted and brought them back.

After dinner, a lot of dry-roasted animal meat was prepared, and the teams rested and exercised. According to the agreement, the Wasp signed an adventurer credit agreement with everyone, stipulating that after arriving at the target island, if an adventure team finds the mission items based on the information provided by the Wasp, they will receive a reward of three million credit points. If multiple teams discover it together, the points will be divided equally.

Also agreed upon are confidentiality and safety responsibilities. Each team is responsible for its own safety and is not allowed to disclose any information about this mission to anyone outside the team. Unless the mission is completed or the team leader Weiping decides to abandon the mission, each team cannot unilaterally withdraw midway. After signing the agreement, the Hornets paid each of them a basic remuneration of 50,000 credit points in advance.

It was very inconvenient to take a bath on the small island. Ling Qi just exercised twice casually, stopped when his body got hot, and returned to the speedboat to rest. The other four teams arranged for people to take turns keeping vigil, but Ling Qi still didn't dare to feel completely at ease. She woke up in the middle of the night and secretly kept vigil for more than two hours before going back to sleep.

In the morning, a group of people had breakfast and were about to set off. The sea breeze suddenly became stronger. Jazz looked solemn and predicted that there might be a storm. Sure enough, after they waited on the island for a while, the waves on the sea became stronger and stronger, the sky became dark again, and the strong wind brought heavy rain. Everyone had to wait boredly on the speedboat until the storm passed at noon.

"It's nearly a five-hour flight from here to the target island, so let's go directly!" They briefly settled for lunch, and Wasp led the team to move on. When the surroundings are the same color for a long time, people get tired easily. They drove like this for hours on end, with no reference points over the vast sea, and it felt as if they weren't moving at all.

At this time, no one knew that Wasp was secretly communicating with someone outside the Blue Star through messages. The communicator he used was not an ordinary thing, but an enhanced one provided by aliens. Although it was not quantum communication, it could transmit information across a certain interstellar distance with the help of satellites and relays.

The person on the other side asked him: "Have you found anything? We are about to leave here, and we don't have much time."

"So soon? Didn't you say it will take another week to arrive? I will arrive at the target island soon, and I still need time to find and clear up my troubles. You have to try to delay it for some time!" Anxiety flashed in the eyes of the hornet.

What they were looking for was a fruit called the Blue Blood Gourd. It was the size of an adult's fist, matured over a century, with an appearance as green as jade and a mouthful of rare spiritual fluid inside, which was one of the main ingredients for preparing the genetic evolution fluid. This plant is very spiritual and can climb and move on its own.

The hornet quickly sent a message: "The main group also found it inside more than ten years ago. It was not old enough at that time, so it was kept untouched. Over the past ten years, it has no idea where it climbed and needs to find it again. "

"There's no way to delay it. You only have two days left at most. If it doesn't work, retreat and the operation is cancelled!"

…

A different scene finally appeared in front of them. Two huge sea beasts as big as hills were fighting fiercely on the sea, waving their dozens of meters long necks to attack and bite each other, and their huge bodies stirred up huge waves.

The ten speedboats went far away and continued on their way. Only in the evening did they finally see a huge island appearing in front of them, with a size of more than thirty kilometers in diameter.

There must be many unknown dangers on such a large island. If nothing else, the pterosaur bird alone is enough to make people cautious. Ling Qi told Kitty Girl not to run around casually, and asked Jazz for precautions through the shipboard communication system.

From the time they saw the island to when it was approaching, they flew for more than twenty minutes. Finally, ten speedboats approached and hovered over a gentle beach.

Only then did Wasp announce the information on the medicinal materials she was looking for.

"This gourd fruit is the mission item we are looking for. It does not grow on the surface, but in an extinct volcano cave in the center of the island. The cave is huge, extending in all directions, and goes straight into the depths of the sea. Most places can be driven flexibly by speedboat. "

Ling Qi looked at the mission item information announced in the communicator group. The small gourd in the image was very beautiful, with long vines hanging on it, crystal clear, and a mouthful of liquid inside was vaguely visible.

The wasp's voice continued: "It is collected very carefully, and the roots and vines must not be damaged at all, so you must notify me immediately when you find it, and I will handle it myself."

Finally, the hornet told them that if they could not find the green blood gourd within two days, they would withdraw and leave, and the mission would be cancelled.

Radar will fail deep in the cave and can only record its own movement trajectory. Even personal communicators will lose their function. After all, they still use communication tools that rely on satellite signals, not quantum communication equipment. So the wasp will stay on the ground, and the team that finds the target needs to go back the same way and go to the cave entrance to notify him to enter.

The entrance of the cave is located in a huge sinkhole about two kilometers in diameter, more than ten kilometers away from the sea. Ling Qi probed down at the edge of the pit. The bottom was about three hundred meters deep, which was still within the floating height range of the speedboat.

This is a habitat for pterosaur birds. They use their sharp claws and big pecks to carve out nests on the walls of large pits. At this time, pterosaur birds frequently come in and out, and some fly over to check the speedboat, but no attack is found. The target leaves again.

Jazz looked solemn and said in the group: "If you want to enter the crater, you will definitely be besieged by the pterosaurs. The situation is a bit serious. After everyone enters, rush into the magma channel as soon as possible to avoid being surrounded."

Others were also a little nervous. They didn't expect that the mission would eventually go underground, but it was impossible to back down at this time.

The Hornet's group of three people left one speedboat to guard here, and the other nine speedboats went in to look for the gourd. Following the directions provided by Wasp, they quickly descended to the bottom of the pit and saw the real crater hidden on one side, with a diameter of more than thirty meters and extending diagonally downward.

The terrain of the crater is slightly higher than the bottom of the crater, so there is a pool of water at the bottom of the crater, but the crater is dry. The surrounding shrubs and grasses grow very densely, proving that even if the volcano is not dead, it has not erupted for a long time.

As the nine speedboats arrived, they seemed to have stung a hornet's nest. Countless pterosaur birds flew from the cave walls and bottom of the pit, like dense bombers, blocking out the sky and attacking the speedboats.
