When the team stopped, there was a green lake in front of them. The tracking experts found traces of lizards entering the water on the shore of the lake. One of the women in the team, Kiera, who had short hair and a flamboyant personality, rubbed her forehead and said, "No way, are we going to dive?"
"It seems so." The black captain shouted, "Take everything down, take off your combat uniforms, and pack them in waterproof bags. Adjust your tractors and don't let them go on strike in the water. "
As he spoke, Rachel had already taken off his equipment and combat uniform, including a multi-purpose tactical helmet on his head. All of these things were stuffed into the waterproof bag. His machine gun was waterproof, so he wasn't afraid of being exposed to the water. After doing all this, he adjusted the traction device on his waist, and the waterproof bag floated up and floated beside Rachel within the range of the traction field.
Two female team members took off their tactical uniforms, revealing their curvaceous figures, causing the male team members next to them to whistle. Rachel rolled his eyes and said, "Gentlemen, we're not out on an outing. Be quick."
A few minutes later, everyone was ready. Rachel took out an oxygen mask and put it on his mouth, then jumped into the lake. The other team members followed suit. A moment later, all the team members dived into the lake. There were many green duckweeds floating on the surface of the lake, and the water was clear. Sunlight shone in from the surface of the lake, drawing pillars of light under the lake. Rachel gestured to indicate that the lake was very deep. Everyone was told to be careful. He pointed at the tracking experts. Debang nodded and swam in front.
Diving was a very boring thing, especially when they kept diving to the bottom of the lake. When the sunlight couldn't reach this place, the lake was dark. From time to time, some underwater creatures would swim past. They were all species that the team had never seen before, and they looked different. Fortunately, they weren't aggressive, or they would affect everyone in the lake. Soon, they reached the bottom of the lake. The bottom of the lake was covered with a layer of soft sand and many boulders. It was like a maze.
De Bang led the group forward. Suddenly, he made a hand gesture and pointed at the boulder at the side, indicating for them to hide. Rachel immediately grabbed Kiera, who was swimming next to him, and hid behind a boulder covered in green moss. The others also shrank back. A moment later, the water surged, and it was clear that something was swimming over. A few seconds later, everyone's heads darkened. Rui Jin raised his head and saw a huge creature swimming past him. From this angle, he couldn't see its appearance clearly. He could only see that its neck was covered with scales, and each scale had a natural pattern. Armor plates of various sizes wrapped around this big fellow tightly. It was like a small island, and the figure quickly passed over their heads and gradually disappeared into the distance.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief and continued forward. Soon, the water in the lake was no longer calm, and a suction force pulled them forward. In front of them was a deep shadow. Rachel swam to the tracking expert's side and made a questioning gesture. Debang pointed ahead and nodded hard, indicating that the lizards were heading in that direction. He pulled Rui Jin along and swam to a huge rock. The green moss on the rock was obviously scratched by a sharp object. The front was deep and the back was shallow. It was obvious that the lizard was using its claws to grab hold of the rock. Only when a lizard leaped forward would it leave behind these claw marks.
Rui Jin nodded and gestured to everyone. The team swam towards the shadows. When they approached the shadows, the suction force suddenly increased. The water splashed loudly in their ears, and they were sucked in uncontrollably. Everyone curled up their bodies and released their Origin Energy to protect themselves so that they wouldn't bump into something when they were brought to an unknown place by the water. The process was short and intense. Rui Jin felt that after passing through a cave-like place, the water flow suddenly slowed down. He opened his eyes and saw a faint light above his head. He looked around and saw that his teammates were nearby, so he pointed upwards. Thus, the team swam upwards.
A moment later, the black captain was the first to break through the water. Immediately, the bright sunlight made him unable to open his eyes. After getting used to the light, he realized that he was in a huge valley. At this moment, they were still in a lake. Behind him was a towering mountain peak. Clouds floated in the sky, and sunlight poured down, landing on the plains in front of the lake. There were many nameless movements on the plains. Some were as big as chariots, while others were as small as hounds. As for the end of the plains, there were dark clouds piling up, and there was a faint flame. No one knew what was there.
The team went ashore and rested for a while. Rui Jin gave everyone ten minutes to rest. They opened their waterproof bags, took out their supplies, took out their food and water, and began to eat. Rui Jin, who had put on his combat uniform, walked over to the tracking expert. Debang was using a satellite communicator to contact the Blood Gate Stronghold. But it didn't look like it was going well. The black man sat down and asked, "How is it?"
"No? There is serious interference here, and the signal is not good. "Debang shook his head.
"Damn it." Rui Jin raised his head. The clouds above his head were calm and there didn't seem to be any interference at all. However, he knew that nothing was impossible in the Garden of Eden, even if the planet was jointly developed by the Earth Federation and Adahua Planet. But until now, there were still too many unknown areas for them. This mysterious valley was one of them. As for the invisible interference in the sky, there might also be energy particles that could not be seen with the naked eye. Things like this were not uncommon in the Garden of Eden.
"Eat something and replenish your strength. Looks like the lizard snake's nest isn't far away."
"I hope so."
Ten minutes later, the team continued to set off. The lizard snake left clear enough traces on the plains that the team knew where to go without Debang tracking it. The team stopped from time to time, and Rui Jin's expression became heavier and heavier. Not only was the signal interfered with here, even the planet's magnetic field was abnormally chaotic. In addition to the terrain of the plains, it was difficult to find a reference object. Fortunately, they could deduce the direction based on the shadow of the sun. However, as the sky was gradually surrounded by thick clouds, the sunlight disappeared, and even the sun could not be seen, making it difficult for the team to distinguish between things.
"Boss, maybe we have to go back." A bearded white colonel said. He had a good gun and was called Sharpshooter Yoda by his team members.
They were almost at the end of the plains, and in front of them was a deep forest. From time to time, a sharp mountain peak would pierce through the forest. The top of the mountain was hidden in the low-hanging clouds, and the low-hanging clouds would occasionally explode with lightning. The entire forest gave off a very bad feeling. It was dark and devoid of any vitality. Especially at the edge of the forest, the green grass that had originally covered the plains had disappeared, forming a dead zone.
"Perhaps, but don't forget the responsibility we have." Rui Jin shouted. The wind was breathing here, and it was impossible to convey his voice without raising his voice. "If this mission is simple, then what does General Russen want us to do? It's precisely because this mission is difficult that we can reflect our value. Gentlemen, and two ladies, the nest of the lizard snake is there, and it's not far from success. Do you want me to turn back here? No, I can't do it! "
Yoda shrugged and exchanged glances with the others. Then he raised his hand and said to Rui Jin, "Alright, you're the leader. You have the final say."
Rui Jin nodded, but he was not a reckless person. His intuition told him that the forest was not safe, so he had his team members prepare and rest for ten minutes before entering the forest.
Not long after entering the forest, the light became incomparably dim. Raising his head, the sky in the forest was blocked by the black canopy, leaving only fragmented gaps. Every blade of grass and tree here exuded some kind of malice. It was as if the forest was alive and watching these uninvited people. The lizard snakes still left enough traces in the forest. It seemed that they had passed through the forest, so the team did not stop much. Following these traces, they also went deeper into the forest.
Two hours later, Rui Jin had to stop the team to rest. After entering the forest, the oxygen was clearly much thinner than outside, and there was a faint mist floating in the forest, making it even more difficult to determine the direction in the forest. Fortunately, there were traces of the lizard snakes as road signs, otherwise they would have gotten lost here.
While resting, the sharpshooter walked over and squatted beside Rui Jin, saying softly, "Something's not right, leader. It's too quiet here. Do you remember the plains we passed through? There were many animals there, but there doesn't seem to be any in the forest. Apart from the traces left by the lizard snakes, there are no other traces of animal activity. "
"I also noticed it. Don't think about anything now, leave the ecology of the forest to the experts in the future. Our mission is to find the nest of the lizard snakes and retreat. It's that simple. "
"Alright."
Suddenly, there was a scream.
Rui Jin and the sharpshooter looked up at the same time. The voice came from another female member. She pointed at a tree in front and shouted, "There's someone there, I see someone up there."
"Are you hallucinating?"
"How come I don't see anything?"
The team members all shook their heads. They couldn't see anything on the dark branches at all. At the end of his sentence, a black line suddenly shot over the forest. The sound of air breaking rang out. Yoda roared and quickly pulled out his gun and fired. A Origin Energy bullet accurately intercepted the trajectory of the black line, causing a spark to explode. Something fell onto the grass. It was a black bone spur mixed with metal particles, making the thorn extremely hard. Otherwise, even the Origin Energy bullet would not have blown it up.
There was a rustling sound in the forest, sounding like something was crawling through the tree.
Rui Jin picked up the machine gun and gestured for the team to gather together. Everyone stood back to back, forming a defensive formation.
"We need some light." Rui Jin said in a deep voice.
Debang immediately adjusted the shape of the magic energy pistol and fired a glowing bullet. The light bullet shone brightly above the forest. The light could last for about an hour. An hour was enough to end a battle.
In the light, many strange sounds rang out around the forest. They were strange sounds formed by hurried syllables. Rui Jin's expression darkened when he heard this. It was clearly a language they did not know. At this moment, a few leaves fell from above his head. Rui Jin suddenly raised his head and saw a person quickly climbing down from the tree trunk.
