"What's wrong?" Fox noticed the change in Lin Dong's expression.
"Ah, nothing!" Lin Dong did not want to explain further. First of all, the location was not suitable. Secondly, no one would believe him even if he told them about the unthinkable, so he did not want to waste his breath.
Fox and Enoko Kazama looked at each other and fell silent. They did not ask any more questions.
Philip, who was beside them, acted as if nothing had happened.
The rock-skinned toad was gone. The difficulty of crossing the river was now in front of everyone.
The river was so vast.
And they did not know what monsters were waiting for them inside.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the exploration team was a little gloomy. No one wanted to break the silence and speak. It was as if they would have to shoulder the responsibility of the team. Philip saw that everyone had quietened down. He stood up and smiled. He comforted them. "If you don't want to walk a long way, there's a broken bridge about ten kilometers upstream. If the cable we left behind is still there, we should be able to cross the river from there. But I can't guarantee that it's a safe path. Everyone must be mentally prepared! "
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Heavy Knight Andre was happy. Even a broken bridge was better than crossing the river.
They followed the river upstream and climbed over cliffs one after another.
When everyone was exhausted from walking.
Far away.
Vaguely, a huge broken bridge could be seen towering over the river in front of them.
The group cheered. Their bodies were as if they had filled up a gas station. One by one, they moved forward bravely, using their hands and feet to crawl on the cliffs.
"Mr Wood, I have a question," Fox said softly to Lin Dong as they walked. "Do you feel the same way? I think there are too few monsters here! "
"…" Hairy Bear Zhao Daniu, who was not far away, heard this and almost fell to the ground.
My little grandaunt!
How many monsters have we met along the way?
You think it's too few? How many monsters do you have to see before you think it's normal?
Just as he was about to complain, Big Ivan, who was beside him, nodded in agreement. "Yes, I wouldn't have realized it if you hadn't mentioned it. But now that you mention it, I think it's a little strange! There were too few monsters in this Sacred Land. It didn't seem like a cruel Underworld. I remembered the Death Canyon in Latin America. The monsters there were like a tide. If it wasn't for Mr. Wood's guidance, we would have all become food to fill their insatiable stomachs! In this so-called Holy Land, there are monsters too, but they're so weak. I can kill most of them, but they can't compare to the Crocodile Frog or the Winged Serpent. Also, I can't compare to the Spider that's as big as a house. They're creatures on a completely different level! "
Griffon's face was full of disdain. "Death Canyon is also child's play, okay? If you have time, go to the underground of the Dragon's Mouth Mine and walk along the underground river, you will find that if you can walk out alive, it is already the greatest miracle in life!"
"Indeed, the Crocodile Frog is scary, but it's at most on the same level as the Dark River Monitor Lizard. In the underground river of the Dragon's Mouth Mine, the thousands of Monitor Lizards are the weakest monsters. Last time, you and Xing Qianren were saved by Lord Lin Dong. In fact, only three people from our expedition team survived: Mr. Bord, me, and Mr. Ghost from the Dark Palace. Also, I withdrew halfway. Mr. Bord almost died. Luckily, one of his subordinates rescued him. Otherwise, he would have died in there. Only Mr. Ghost, who knows how to use the Flying Wings, could return to the Surface World safely! "Enoko Kazama had entered the underground river many times. She had the most say.
"Ghost was also injured, and very badly. It's just that he had a cloak to hide it, so no one could see it!" Philip quickly explained.
"No wonder …" Hairy Bear Zhao Daniu and Big Ivan looked at Lin Dong with sudden realization.
There were such powerful monsters.
No wonder they could extract the monster's energy essence to make gene potions.
Lin Dong waved his hand. "Gene potions are not extracted from the monster's body. Even if it's an Enhancement Potion, there aren't many ingredients. Also, a catalyst must be added. Otherwise, biological energy alone won't be enough!"
Big Ivan asked tentatively, "Mr Wood, if we can provide you with a large amount of underground biological energy, can you make a batch of Enhancement Potions for us? What I mean is, a large number of productions, or a long term collaboration? "
Lin Dong rejected immediately. "I don't have a lot of time to do these things. You don't know that I have too many things waiting to be researched. This is impossible!"
"That's right. Huaxia doesn't have such a requirement!" Griffon accidentally revealed something. "I saw that the ingredients for the Enhancement Potion were refined by Dean Qu and the others. Then, they gave it to Lord Heavenly God to add magical additives to make it suitable for the human body. If you want to mass produce it, you might as well cooperate with Huaxia and exchange the formula for the Enhancement Potion! "
"Do you think the Huaxia military will give us the formula?" Zhao Daniu almost gave Griffon a slap.
"Of course. You can exchange the aircraft engine and tank engine technologies. While Huaxia's aircraft technology is still in its development stage, your engine technology will definitely be able to be exchanged for a good price!" Fox laughed.
"I don't have that kind of authority. Also, even if you exchange the aircraft engine technology, the Huaxia military will not agree to the exchange! One is an enhancement that can be maintained forever, the other is a time-sensitive technology. I don't think the Huaxia military will be so short-sighted. "Zhao Daniu shook his head. He felt that this exchange would definitely not be agreeable.
"Go back and try. Even if you can't exchange the formula, you can exchange for some Enhancement Potions!" Big Ivan was tempted.
"Why do you want something far away? Mr Wood is right in front of you! " Reynold came over and tried to strike up a conversation. Of course, he was here for the gene potion. If it didn't work, he would still kill Huaxia for the Enhancement Potion.
The Knights Templar was an old force in Europe.
They were very qualified.
Their strength was not bad.
However, they had a fatal flaw.
That was that they had too few people. Not to mention the Eye of God and the Plantagenet Dynasty, even the Teutonic Knights, which had the support of the country behind them, were ten times fewer in number. Reynold knew that it was impossible to develop and grow with just a few elites. If the Knights Templar wanted to rise, they needed a group of official members who were stronger than ordinary mercenaries at the grassroots level.
Gene potions could nurture even more elite backbones, as well as even more light and heavy knights.
The Enhancement Potion could cultivate more grassroots.
"Captain Reynold, we have an unwritten agreement in private. That is, under the condition that it doesn't affect Mr Wood's research, we will talk about cooperation! Human technology is constantly advancing. If we keep staring at the gene potion and Enhancement Potion, then we will be killing the goose that lays the golden eggs! Mr Wood needs more time to research, improve, and develop his potions. We need to leave more wealth for future generations, and not turn it into a monopoly! If Mr Wood is willing, he can stop all of this at any time, but he didn't do so, nor did he hand over all the potions to the Chinese military. The reason is that he doesn't want this to become a business that can be stopped, but a means for human progress! " Philip reminded Reynold tactfully not to try to challenge this unspoken bottom line. Of course, his warning also included Thomas from the Eye of God and Blood Mary from the Plantagenet Dynasty.
"Is that so? Of course I won't do that! " Reynold wasn't a fool. He wouldn't turn hostile and start a war with the Dark Temple on the spot. Although he was unhappy, his rationality made him stay clear-headed. He smiled and said, "I will also join this agreement. If Mr Wood needs the Knights Templar's service, we will live for 24 hours!"
"The potion is close to a fixed amount. I don't care how you distribute it." Lin Dong wasn't interested in talking about any deal with Reynold. Why? Just because they were called the Knights Templar, did they have to give him face?
Lin Dong would consider it if they could cooperate.
For someone like Reynold who was as dangerous as Thomas, Lin Dong felt that it was better to avoid trouble.
At the same time, Europe didn't need to be so harmonious. Such a Europe wouldn't be conducive for Lin Dong to spread his influence and absorb the Power of Faith in Europe. The various forces in Europe had to fight each other until they bled. This way, Lin Dong's gene potions and strengthening potions would remain attractive.
Reynold looked at Philip, then at Big Ivan and Fox.
He maintained a smile on his face.
After bowing to Lin Dong, he slowly walked away.
He was a smart man, and he knew that it was impossible for him to snatch a bite from a few forces. Just the Dark Temple alone was enough! If he wanted to get the gene potions and strengthening potions, he had to find helpers, such as Bloody Mary of the Plantagenet Dynasty and Red Archbishop Nero of the Eden Army!
As for Chief Inquisitor Thomas of the Eye of God, Reynold didn't think it was a good idea to cooperate with a lion with a huge appetite.
They arrived at the broken bridge.
The huge stone bridge broke in the middle, and about a hundred meters of the bridge deck collapsed into the river. Only a few of the bridge piers were still protruding from the water.
The ropes that Philip had left behind from his previous explorations had disappeared without a trace.
"Unlucky! We need a few brave warriors who aren't afraid of sacrificing themselves to bring the rope to the other end of the broken bridge! "The mad scientist Parsons looked around, but no one volunteered.
"Can't we use a crossbow to shoot the rope to the other side?" Father Jacques suggested.
"The other side is a rock, and the distance is too far. It's hard for the crossbow arrow to hit it. At the same time, if the crossbow arrow needs a rope, it might not be able to reach the other side. If there's a strong man, maybe we can throw the anchor rope to the other side. As long as it gets stuck in one of the cracks, we might be able to climb over it! "The mad scientist Parsons felt that Philip had used this method in the past.
"I'll do it!" Monster Ness was the first to volunteer.
"Speaking of strength, I'm also confident!" Heavy Knight Andre and Gerrard also stood up.
Just as they were in a mess, Griffon suddenly screamed and pointed at the broken bridge opposite them. "There's someone, there seems to be someone over there. Damn, it's really someone! Philip, is it someone who came after you and took a shortcut to help us? "
Philip's expression was very ugly. He shook his head and said, "No, we don't have a shortcut. This is the only safe path that we've explored!"
When he said this, the mercenaries in the exploration team suddenly felt a chill down their spines.
Fawkes quickly asked, "Are they people left behind from your previous expeditions?"
Philip shook his head again. "We won't abandon any of our companions, unless we're really dead. Otherwise, we won't abandon any of our companions and leave the Holy Land alone! Our last exploration was a year ago. At that time, none of our companions went missing. Everyone's whereabouts were recorded. Moreover, I don't think any human could live in a place like this for a year! "
While everyone was puzzled, Lin Dong was deep in thought.
When he saw this strange person, he kind of understood why the rock toad and the short-tailed monster had mutated into that appearance. The mystery of the Blood Core was almost solved …
"Sir Lin Dong, do we need to take down that strange person?" Enoko Kazama suddenly volunteered.
"There's no rush. I don't think there's a strange person in here. There should be many interesting things waiting for us inside!" Lin Dong smiled. He was starting to feel that this underground trip was finally a little interesting. If all the mysteries were solved, the rewards should be satisfactory. The only change was that he didn't know what the difficulty of the challenge would be.
Perhaps it would be very difficult, or perhaps it was just like what was in front of him!
According to Lin Dong's mentality, of course, he hoped that the difficulty of the challenge would be higher. This was because the stronger the boss, the greater the rewards after victory!
