The three of them looked at the projector carefully and realized that it should be around dinner time. Rhett and De Yako had gathered everyone together. Other than those who were on guard duty and those who were injured, almost everyone else was sitting cross-legged on the open ground to listen to their conversation.
De Yako told them that he had already contacted Narazi's camp half an hour ago. If everything went according to plan, the rescue team should be here soon.
Due to the unfavorable start, De Yako wanted to seek everyone's opinion on whether they should continue with the capture mission.
Of course, since De Yako asked this, it was obvious that they wanted to leave as soon as possible.
Obviously, this encounter had made many people want to leave. Whether it was the direct members of the venture capital company or the hired warriors, some of them did not want to stay in Yanig any longer. They all agreed to leave.
Their reasoning was simple. It was already difficult for the rescue team to save people when they were at their peak. Now that they had lost almost half of their members, it would be even more difficult for them to continue with the mission.
Kenny remained silent after hearing that. He seemed to agree with everyone's judgment of the situation. While the camp was in a heated discussion, Rhett, who seemed to be in deep thought with his head lowered, suddenly said.
“OK！ I understand what everyone is thinking, but do you really want to return empty-handed? If that's the case, not only will we not get a single cent, we will also have to pay for the lost equipment. The loss of Gloria alone is enough to make everyone lose a layer of skin. "
Rhett's entry point was nothing more than the word 'profit'. This immediately made some people ponder. After all, which poor person would come here to risk their lives? However, they were immediately refuted by those who were dissatisfied.
"Then what do you think we should do? Are we supposed to continue fighting with hundreds of Wargs? Even the Wargs are hard to deal with, let alone the Hill Giants! It's said that Gloria can take on ten Wargs. I'm afraid we won't be able to return alive. "
"That's right! I heard that the Hill Giants also keep Wargs. I heard that there are hundreds of them and thousands of Wargs enslaved. Without Gloria's mechanical armor to provide suppressive fire, how are we supposed to fight them? "
"That's right! We don't even know where those Hill Giants are now. We'll probably have to sacrifice a few more lives just to find them. I don't agree with staying here any longer …! "
Kenny saw that the atmosphere was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, so he repeatedly pressed his palms together to calm them down.
"Everyone, be quiet. Let Rhett finish."
Rhett nodded politely at Kenny to express his gratitude before he continued.
"We've just bought a piece of top secret information from Narazi's camp. Eighty kilometers north of the camp, there's a Hill Giant's nest called Orgrimmar. The person who provided the information did a special investigation, and the specific information is like this …"
At this time, a holographic map suddenly appeared in the night sky next to them. The miniature projector marked the map with two small red dots.
"Did you see that? The Hill Giant's nest, Orgrimmar, is about a hundred kilometers away from us. The information stated very clearly that this period of time is the breeding season of the Hill Giants. The information we received previously also mentioned that the Hill Giants would use the alternating dry season and wet season to breed their offspring every year. "
"Furthermore, in order to increase the chances of the females being forcefully copulated with, the males will scatter and go out to collect a unique seasonal herb called the peacebloom. This thing is mashed into juice and then fed to the victim females to increase the amount of their eggs secreted. I believe that this will be the best opportunity for us to take advantage of this!"
Everyone's eyes lit up. Talon said:
"Wait a minute, don't they gather together when they're collecting herbs?"
Rhett said:
"Of course not. At this time, all the males will move alone! Otherwise, if two Hill Giants discover the same peacebloom at the same time, there will be bloodshed. Based on the Hill Giants' sense of smell and behavioral habits, we can basically confirm that every Hill Giant will stay at least two kilometers away from the other males during this special period of time when they go out to collect herbs. They will only reunite at night when they return to the camp. "
At this time, the group was already whispering to each other. If this information was true, it would be very easy to create a situation where they had to face a Hill Giant alone. At the same time, they could use the peacebloom to lure the Hill Giant into a trap.
If that was the case, it didn't seem like a big deal even if they didn't have Gloria.
Rhett pointed at another slightly smaller red dot and continued, "That's right.
"This is the Red Cloud Terrace, where the peacebloom is abundant. It's 81 kilometers away from Orgrimmar. We have plenty of opportunities to find and attack their weak points along the way."
"Even when the peacebloom is not in season, a small number of old Hill Giants who have lost their fertility will be stationed at the Red Cloud Terrace to prevent the peacebloom's ecological environment and mother plant from being destroyed by herbivores. We'll wait for an opportunity and even take down Orgrimmar. What do you guys think? "
At this time, Rhett projected the peacebloom's appearance to the side.
The peacebloom's body looked like a large-leaved gardenia. Its appearance was similar to a large blooming chrysanthemum. The flower was pure white and the flowers were huge. Most of them grew next to ventilated and sunny water sources.
Due to its high requirement for water, its living environment was quite harsh. The reason it could reproduce in large numbers on the Red Cloud Terrace was because it had one of the few wetlands on this planet.
However, it seemed that Rhett's suggestion did not garner the majority's support. His companions all expressed their doubts, but for the sake of money, they were hesitant.
De Yako frowned and questioned:
"First, is this information accurate? If it is, why didn't Narazi's camp keep it for their own use? After all, the strength of the Giant Heavy Industry behind them is not weaker than ours. "
"Second, please note that our mission is not to kill as many Hill Giants as possible! It's to save Ryan, okay? Even if this information is accurate, what's the use of killing 100 Hill Giants? "
Rhett was rebutted several times in a row. Even a clay figurine would have a temper. He immediately said in annoyance,
"The Hill Giants that were killed are indeed useless, but did I say to kill them? I mean to capture them alive directly! The Hill Giants are also quite intelligent. After capturing them, we can interrogate Ryan's whereabouts. "
At this time, Talon also added:
"Old Bai didn't mention one very important thing. That is, the Hill Giants alive now are not cheap … If we catch a few, even if this operation fails, we won't lose money."
It was obvious that Talon's words had the final effect on the situation.
As the team leader, what Kenny said at this time actually surprised Fang Linyan. He pondered for a moment and said,
"Let's do it this way! Let's investigate first and confirm the authenticity of the information, then we can vote. Good luck everyone! "
Kenny's tone was quite firm, so the others stopped talking.
Seeing this, Fang Linyan had already labeled Kenny, a seemingly iron-blooded guy, as "indecisive".
In his opinion, Kenny's direct subordinates were the strongest at this time, and since landing on this planet, there was no big problem with the decisions he made. It was just that he had been a little unlucky, so he suffered setbacks everywhere.
In fact, with his status, he could completely make the final decision. Why was there a need to hold a discussion? In this case, there would be too many people talking, and it would form a split on the surface, which would be even more disadvantageous for the next action.
On the contrary, if Kenny made the decision, those who sat on the fence and neutral would definitely follow his instructions. Next, Kenny would slowly communicate with Deacon in private. This was the best way.
At the same time, Fang Linyan realized that Talon was not easy to deal with. He seemed to be communicating with him sincerely, but in fact, he first checked his background, and then showed the 3 of them the video. His purpose was also very utilitarian.
That was to rope in the 3 pro-war factions and stand on the pro-war side at the critical moment.
Therefore, the relationship between people was extremely complicated. In such a small team, everyone's selfishness was everywhere.
Next, the entire team would be divided again. According to Kenny's principle of "democracy", those who were unwilling to perform the mission would stay in the camp to protect the wounded while waiting for the rescue from Narazi's camp.
The pro-war faction was ready to set off to investigate the vicinity of the Red Cloud Platform.
Of course, the resources of the entire team would definitely be tilted towards the side that carried out the reconnaissance mission. Not only that, Kenny also stated that those who did not participate in the reconnaissance mission could only take the lowest share of the various benefits that might exist in the future.
Moreover, Kenny promised that if the situation was unfavorable, those who wanted to leave could leave at any time, and he would not make it difficult for them!
In this case, after some people thought about it again and again, they still decided to follow the main force. In the end, they still accounted for 3/4 of the overall strength.
At noon the next day, Mahir and others also arrived here in time with a group of people and met with Fang Linyan.
This time, Mahir moved all the supplies and heavy items from Deacon's camp.
Mahir, on the other hand, very firmly refused the request to go to "Orgrimmar" to investigate and directly asked to stay here. This guy was not an ordinary coward, but in the end, because of the acute shortage of doctors, Fang Linyan agreed that he could stay in the abandoned mining area camp temporarily. After the team established a fixed camp there and settled down, he could rush back and stay in the camp.
***
Early the next morning, after the team organized the people to set off, Vulture suddenly said in the team channel,
"Interesting, it seems that this damn place, Orgrimmar, has something to do with the centaur we met at the time."
After he finished speaking, he shared the information he had just found. It could be seen that "Orgrimmar" was a place name marked by early humans through transliteration. This pronunciation in the centaur language meant a place of reproduction.
So in fact, before the huge Tam tribe split, this place was still the settlement of centaurs!
That place was originally a lush forest with flowers blooming all over the mountains and plains. It could definitely be called a dream-like scenery.
The Centaurs called the Crimson Cloud Plateau 'Silithus', which meant that it was the origin of all living things. Obviously, the Peacebloom's ability to strengthen reproduction was also effective on them. Unfortunately, the Centaurs would never have thought that such a sacred place would be taken over by the Hill Giants.
After the goat looked at it, he said,
"It's strange, since Orgrimmar and the Red Cloud Platform are extremely important to those centaurs, why don't they find a way to take it back?"
Vulture was about to speak.
Fang Linyan suddenly raised his hand and said,
"Wait!"
It turned out that when the goat was talking, Fang Linyan suddenly realized that something important seemed to have been ignored! But the wisp of aura flashed in an instant, and he couldn't catch it. It was really annoying.
After driving for about 100 kilometers this time, the all-terrain vehicle stopped in a valley. This place was very hidden, and it could be seen that someone had lived here before.
This location was given by the Narazi camp. The adventurers had been hunting the hill giants for a year or two. There were a total of 5 hill giant gathering points on this planet, so not everyone would choose "Orgrimmar" as their destination.
However, according to big data analysis, most adventurers who came here for the second time would choose this place called "Coke Valley".
It was because the rocks here were black like coke. The terrain here was hidden, and the distance to Orgrimmar was quite close. The straight-line distance was less than 50 kilometers.
After arriving at the Coke Valley, it was not 12 o 'clock yet, so they naturally began to assign tasks. Some were responsible for building the camp, some were responsible for getting water, and Fang Linyan and the other 2 were responsible for investigating nearby to see if there was any danger.
After all, Planet Yanig was a very dangerous place. Even if the people who had been stationed here before cleared the relevant hidden dangers, it did not rule out that some beasts would migrate here.
During the all-terrain vehicle's journey, Fang Linyan clearly felt that the vitality here was much better than the place where the plane crashed before:
There were some khaki shrubs scattered on the Gobi Desert; some were even half buried by the sand.
Although these shrubs also grew tenaciously in the drought, they were still alive. At least they could be chopped back to the camp as firewood. In addition, there were scorpions and other insects under the rocks.
Suddenly, Vulture waved his hand and looked at the sand more than ten meters away. There was already a cloud of dust rising. It was a gray viper that was more than a meter long and was fiercely struggling. However, there was now a throwing knife in its head.
This kind of viper looked very ferocious, and its skin was particularly rough. There were even 2 to 3 centimeters barbs on its gray skin. So once it forcefully contracted and wrapped its prey tightly, these barbs would pierce deeply into the opponent's body.
This was also its other major weapon in addition to its venomous fangs. Not only that, Fang Linyan estimated that it was also a carbon-nitrogen-based creature, so its vitality was particularly tenacious. It could live in a way that human common sense could not understand.
Vulture observed for a while, then he said with ease,
"There are white lines on the abdomen. It should be black-horn venom. Its meat should be edible."
As he said, he walked forward, grabbed the guy's tail and swung it fiercely, then he stabbed it 3 times with a dagger.
After these 3 stabs, it should have accurately destroyed the guy's nerve center, so it quickly collapsed.
Then, Vulture opened its mouth and squeezed out a bit of venom. Then, he smeared it on a piece of paper next to him. Immediately, the white paper turned bright red. The three of them looked at each other and their expressions became serious.
This test paper looked very ordinary, but it was a product of the space. Its full name was danger level test paper. It was obtained by Goat who liked to find some strange things.
Simply put, it could intuitively reflect the specific situation of the liquid dripped on it with color.
Fang Linyan and the others had tried it before. When the fresh blood of a healthy person was dripped on, the test paper would not change color. When the blood of a patient was dripped on, the test paper would turn light gray to dark gray according to the degree of the disease.
At this time, the venom was able to turn the test paper bright red, indicating that the toxicity was very strong. Even the antidote in the space was needed to deal with it, and this was just an ordinary creature in the vast Gobi Desert. Therefore, the hidden danger of this damn place could be imagined.
So the 3 of them subconsciously slowed down their speed. Soon, they saw a raised slope in front. The arc was not steep, and the height of the slope was at most 10 meters.
En, to use a more intuitive analogy, it was like an A-cup in the slope, which showed its pocket-size.
However, as the commanding height within 2 to 3 kilometers, Fang Linyan and the others had to climb up to take a look. Because from there, they could basically have a panoramic view of the area within a few kilometers. It could be said that it saved them a lot of trouble.
After climbing to a high place, Vulture's perception was the highest. He suddenly pointed to the northwest and said,
"Look, isn't there something moving over there?"
Fang Linyan narrowed his eyes and looked for a while. To be honest, he began to miss the mechanical spear falcon now. In the end, he shook his head and said,
"Sorry, I didn't see anything."
Goat suddenly said,
"Is it 300 meters away from here? I think I saw a yellow rock move."
Vulture said,
"Yes, it's there! I suspect that something touched the rock, so it caused the rock to move. "
However, after only 10 seconds, the 2 said at the same time,
"Damn, that thing is not a rock!"
It turned out that at this time, this "rock" had moved again, and it was obvious that it was just a creature with a strong protective color.
At this time, Vulture had directly sent out the shadow clone. It didn't take long for him to send back the relevant information,
Land rock tortoise.
This kind of giant tortoise usually liked to live near the Gobi desert. After replenishing water in the oasis, it could last for 2 months. It was an omnivorous amphibious creature.
The weight of an adult land rock tortoise could even grow to about 700 kilograms. It had a lifespan of hundreds of years. Its shell was hard and thick. The shape of the tortoise shell looked like a slanted hill, and it had a simple camouflage ability.
It was precisely because the land rock tortoise had a hard shell and camouflage ability that this creature had no natural enemies. But the land rock tortoise was usually very lazy. In their long life, even the breeding period only came once every 3 years. Most of the time, they were in a dormant state.
So this creature would be mistaken as a rock or buried by the sandstorm in most cases. Only when it needed to eat would it climb out of the ground or dive into the water to hunt for food.
