Chapter 365: First Camp
The multi-handed demon forms are not cursed bodies. From the first experience and the pointing out of Night Eyes, it is shown that they are things that were actively created by the Hand of Heaven and Earth, and not cursed bodies that were born out of thin air because of the Wandering God Curse of the Hand of Heaven and Earth.
For Anti and Xiuman, who knew in advance that there were footprints of the Hand of Heaven and Earth on Mount Zenith, this incident was not very surprising. At most, they were puzzled as to why these things appeared here.
Anti noticed through some details that although these multi-armed monsters were numerous, their aggressiveness might not be as good as the one in the Eternal Night Realm.
If it was the one from the Eternal Night Realm, after being attracted by the light, it would probably send out a large army to attack immediately.
Now the reactions of these multi-armed monsters were very ordinary, and some were even reluctant to come closer because of the strong light.
The multi-armed demon form of the Eternal Night Realm has experienced a long time in the Eternal Night, and has been transformed by the Eternal Night Realm, so it has some additional characteristics.
The multi-armed monster here obviously doesn't have such good "treatment".
Even so, with so many strange creatures floating around in groups and moving in weird ways, even the believers couldn't help but feel a little scared.
"What are these?" someone asked.
"It's not in the previous information about Tianding Mountain." The person who was familiar with the information searched his mind, but unfortunately found nothing.
They haven't even entered the restricted area yet, but anomalies are occurring frequently. It doesn't feel like a good sign.
Everyone gathered together and did not make any rash moves.
Xiuman lowered his eyes slightly, as if he had realized something.
These creatures seemed more curious than aggressive, observing...
"Roar——!" Suddenly, a muffled roar came from somewhere.
After hearing the sound, the multi-armed monsters all retreated in an instant.
There were continuous rattling sounds, and in an instant the figures wandering in the darkness disappeared. The surroundings became quiet in an instant, as if no group of monsters had ever appeared.
"It seems like something has called them away?" Tan Haishen, a member of the Blue Star Hongya, guessed.
After everyone observed for a while, Xiuman took the initiative to walk out and check the surroundings. He confirmed that all the multi-armed monsters had disappeared, and then he signaled to everyone that everything was fine.
I breathed a sigh of relief, but I still couldn't completely relax.
"Did those things attack this camp?" someone speculated.
"It's unlikely," someone came back after checking the scene and gestured at the detector in his hand, "There's no scent of the Wandering God's Curse. They're not even cursed bodies."
No clue.
One wave after another arises, and this exploration seems destined to be full of ups and downs.
By the time we finished cleaning up and confirmed everything, it was already dawn.
Because of the interruption by the multi-armed demon, all the arguments that were meaningless in the first place could no longer be started, so they had to give up. For a while, they only exchanged obscure glances with each other.
The team is full of deceived people with sharp senses. If anyone whispers near the camp, it can be easily overheard. If they want to talk alone but have no special means of encrypted communication, they can only stay away from the main group.
But in this case, as the team leader, it is impossible for Shuman to let multiple members leave the team.
Finally, in an even more suspenseful and depressing atmosphere, the team walked together into a restricted area full of unknowns.
Before setting off, Anti looked at the hillside in the distance.
There, the space was slightly distorted, outlining the outline of a dragon with strange features, but it was fleeting.
Antia looked away.
Handilon, the strange dragon species encountered in Lokidu that brought important changes to Anti, has a close relationship with the Hand of Heaven and Earth, but he may have mistaken the "hand" now.
Now, we meet again in this place.
Adding to the multi-armed monster last night, Anti could vaguely guess that this group of multi-armed monsters were probably attracted here just like Handilon, mistaking him for the Hand of Heaven and Earth.
Perhaps this trip to Tianding Mountain can answer some of Anti's own questions.
……
In the vast mountains and wilderness, a group of humans are trekking.
The first goal of the exploration team is to build a station and a temporary camp at the planned location, and lay a foundation before launching subsequent operations in the mountains. There are many rare and exotic animals in Tianding Mountain, especially in the most unfamiliar Zhongtianding Mountain Range, there are many wild animals that have only been seen in the data, and they will not be affected by the horrors in the restricted area.
Most members of the team began to explore and collect information along the way.
Rafafar also began to investigate the traces of the orcs.
Anti had nothing to do, so he just sat on the edge of the team pretending to be something.
The most conversations within the team came from the five-member group from Blue Star. They were the most familiar with each other, and a lot of work required collaboration. Even though people in the team often quarreled and conflicts between representatives from different administrative regions were clearly visible, in the current strange environment, the atmosphere was actually the best.
When the sun was high in the sky, they arrived at the planned location and began to set up camp.
This is a signal.
The first phase of exploration will be centered on this temporary camp. Everyone will have more freedom and can leave the team with the care of their companions.
"Then the temporary camp has been set up. According to the action plan, everyone can start to move freely in groups of three. Please be sure not to separate from your companions during the process. Although there is no danger at the moment, we have indeed entered the legendary restricted area. If you need it, I have opened the internal mail card of the exploration team in your hands. Please note that this mail card only has a public channel."
After setting up the camp, Xiuman said to everyone.
Unlike the long-distance postcards used by the Sanctuary in most areas of the Dream World, the range of the special postcards is not that far, but the signal has been strengthened and stabilized, and a "local area network" has been established between each other, allowing the team to communicate conveniently during this operation.
The last reminder about public channels is also a warning to some people not to try to use this opportunity to do anything tricky.
Although Anti felt that with the minds of these people, if they really wanted to cause trouble, such a small problem should not be an obstacle.
The temporary camp also requires several people to stay behind and rotate regularly.
Xiuman, Rafafar and representatives from the Zhuyang Empire were the first group of camp guards and stayed behind before the free activity time.
After everyone responded to Xiuman's words, they quickly discussed with each other, formed teams, and left one after another.
Only Anti was left standing there, his thin figure standing straight in the strong wind.
Xiuman looked over and asked, "Why don't you leave?"
"I only know a few of you." Anti said to them calmly.
He suspected that Xiuman was playing tricks on him. He only knew Xiuman and Rafafar in the team, and the Zhuyang Empire representative's attitude was confirmed to be friendly. Apart from that, the last person he knew was Tan Haishen, a Blue Star man who was just an acquaintance.
Then three of the four people stayed behind at the beginning, and Tan Haishen had his own team.
Free movement in groups of more than three?
What the hell.
Do the other two in my body add up to three?
Xiuman laughed out loud: "We don't know each other very well. You see, many of them are temporary members of the group. You are too out of touch with everyone. I originally thought that you would go with that acquaintance from Blue Star."
"Not an acquaintance." An Ti turned his head and saw that Tan Haishen's team had not left yet and was debugging the equipment, but the five-man team from Blue Star was reserved.
"Go ahead. I don't mind four of you staying here to watch the door." Xiuman said sarcastically and turned away.
Anti narrowed his eyes, and when he raised his hand, there was a small iron box in his hand.
This is Xiuman's favorite jelly bean box, filled with candies that he prepared for himself on this trip. When Xiuman was joking, Anti used the Imperial Object to take it out of the bag he placed in the tent next to him.
"Mr. Anti... um, where did you get the candy?" Tan Haishen walked over and talked to Anti, only to see Anti cracking candy beans.
"This is a gift from Mr. Kamman. Do you want it?" Anti handed over the small box.
Tan Haishen smiled but still refused: "No, I just want to ask if you are willing to join our group."
"Hmm? Five of you is already a lot."
"Nothing is too much help." Tan Haishen said cheerfully.
Anti looked at him and did not refuse: "If you don't mind me holding you back."
"Of course I don't mind, you're welcome!"
