Barbarian Mountain was only a little more than three hundred miles away from Chen Qiang's settlement. In less than half a day, the expedition team had arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Chen Qiang had been walking silently at the back of the team for half a day, carefully pondering over the various indexes and functions of the Corpse Recovery System.
After all, this system was his only life-saving treasure in this place. How could he not study it thoroughly?
After some research, Chen Qiang discovered that only his right hand could activate the system, and the system only worked on corpses!
Apart from that, the system would only react when the recovery value was above one, and the energy value could only be obtained through the Beast Crystal.
As for the Physique, Mental Power, Strength, and Speed values in the system, they could be adjusted at will. This was very practical for him.
Just like this journey, if he hadn't deliberately adjusted his Speed value, it would have been difficult to keep up with the expedition team.
"Everyone, pay attention. After entering the mountain, search for the herbs according to the diagram Physician Li gave you. After you find them, hand them over to Chen Qiang and let him keep them.
In addition, there are dangers everywhere in Barbarian Mountain. Don't be too far away from each other and look after each other.
Physician Li and Chen Qiang have never cultivated before. After entering the mountain, you must ensure their safety. "
As soon as Captain Qi finished speaking, more than ten bloodline warriors scattered in all directions, vaguely protecting Physician Li and Chen Qiang.
However, after careful observation, Chen Qiang discovered that almost all the bloodline warriors were in a position that was most beneficial to Physician Li's safety.
As for himself, it seemed that he could only pray for the best.
This was actually understandable. After all, in the settlement, the infirmary staff had a higher status than the bloodline warriors!
And the corpse recovery team was the department with the least sense of existence.
Physician Li was two years older than Chen Qiang. He was eighteen this year and had a thin appearance.
Chen Qiang walked to his side and asked in a low voice, "Physician Li, I don't think I have the diagram of the herbs you're looking for."
Doctor Li deliberately kept a distance from Chen Qiang and said impatiently, "You're just a kid from the corpse collection team. What kind of drawings would you be looking at? The reason I asked you to come this time is to let you do the hard work. You just need to collect the herbs that you find. You don't need to worry about anything else. "
When Chen Qiang heard this, he shrugged his eyebrows and stopped talking.
In the entire human settlement on Barbarian Mountain, the corpse-collecting team he was in was probably the most disliked.
Not only was his work lowly, but he was also covered in the stench of corpses. No wonder Doctor Li was so far away from him.
However, this was also good. He could use this free time to study his Poisonous Flame Bloodline.
To become a Bloodline Warrior, awakening one's bloodline was the most basic requirement.
However, in a real battle, just having a bloodline wasn't enough. One needed a cultivation method to cultivate Blood Qi in one's body and use it to attack the enemy.
Unfortunately, other than himself, no one knew the rank of his bloodline. Naturally, he couldn't obtain the cultivation method.
However, Chen Qiang wasn't in a hurry.
Since Barbarian Mountain was full of danger, he would eventually see a Bloodline Warrior fight. When that time came, he would be able to observe the usage of Blood Qi from these Bloodline Warriors' battles.
However, they seemed to be in luck this time. They didn't see any danger approaching until dusk.
Perhaps it was because their range of activity was only in the periphery of Barbarian Mountain. After nearly three hours, the expedition team's mission was basically completed. The bag behind Chen Qiang gradually bulged.
"Doctor Li, these herbs should be enough, right?"
Seeing that the mission was successfully completed, Captain Qi was in a good mood. After all, not every expedition team could return to the settlement safely.
However, they did it this time without any danger. Their luck was pretty good.
"Yes, Captain Qi. The herbs we collected this time should be enough for the settlement to use for more than half a month. We can go back now."
Hearing this, the warriors of the expedition team were overjoyed. They immediately surrounded Doctor Li and Chen Qiang and rushed out of Barbarian Mountain.
"Wait a minute."
Doctor Li had only taken two steps when he suddenly stopped. His nose kept twitching.
"Captain Qi, do you smell it?"
The others also stopped and followed Doctor Li's sniff for a while.
"It seems like there's a fragrance … over there!"
Captain Qi pointed to the west and asked, "Doctor Li, do you want to go over and take a look?"
"Yes, we must go!"
Doctor Li's expression was filled with excitement. "If I'm not wrong, it should be the smell of Purple Scented Silk.
Do you know?
Purple Scented Silk is the most important ingredient in refining Spirit Blood Pills.
A Spirit Blood Pill has a high chance of promoting a high-ranking Bloodline Warrior to a Spirit Blood General!
As long as we get the Purple Scented Silk, we can go back and ask my master to refine a Spirit Blood Pill. Then, our commander may become a Beginner Spirit Blood General. This is great news for our Barbarian Mountain settlement! "
"Then what's the point of talking? Let's go! "
Captain Qi took the lead and led the group to the west.
After walking for less than a li, the group finally saw a fruit tree with six or seven Purple Scented Silk growing in the valley ahead.
The intoxicating fragrance was incomparably rich.
"Look!"
Doctor Li pointed at the Purple Scented Silk Fruit Tree excitedly. However, he didn't expect Captain Qi to cover his mouth and lower his body.
"Shh!"
Captain Qi made a gesture with his mouth and released Doctor Li.
"That was close!
Doctor Li, there's a Lightning Rabbit guarding the fruit tree.
If I'm not wrong, that's a mid-tier Soldier Tier exotic beast. It's equivalent to our mid-tier Bloodline Warriors! "
Doctor Li's forehead was covered in cold sweat when he heard this.
"Then what should we do? Captain Qi, can you think of a way? That's six or seven Purple Scented Silk Fruits!
They're too important to our Barbarian Mountain settlement.
We have so many people. Can't we defeat that rabbit? "
Captain Qi shook his head with a bitter smile, "Doctor Li, you don't know.
Although the Lightning Rabbit's defense isn't strong, the lightning balls it spits out are undoubtedly fatal to low-tier Bloodline Warriors like us.
If we must obtain those Purple Scented Silk Fruits, there's only one way. That is to find someone to lure the Lightning Rabbit in the opposite direction. Then, we'll make a sudden move and steal those Purple Scented Silk Fruits.
However, that way, the warrior who lured the Lightning Rabbit won't be able to come back. "
"I'll go, Captain!"
"Let me go, Captain!"
For a moment, more than a dozen warriors from the exploration teams rushed to volunteer. This made Chen Qiang look at these young bloodline warriors in a new light.
This wasn't a good thing. Going out meant throwing their lives away!
However, none of these youngsters were willing to retreat, leaving the hope of survival to their companions.
No wonder bloodline warriors were able to receive the highest respect in the human settlement!
"No! None of you can go! "
The one who said this wasn't Captain Qi, but Doctor Li.
"Captain Qi, your exploration team's mission this time is to protect me and collect the urgently needed herbs in the settlement.
We don't have enough manpower to begin with. If something happens along the way, it doesn't matter if we sacrifice ourselves, but the two thousand people in the settlement will face an even more difficult situation.
Moreover, we've lost too many bloodline warriors recently. We can't make any more unnecessary sacrifices.
Even if you want to go, you have to find someone of low value to take the risk. "
With that, Doctor Li cast his gaze at Chen Qiang.
"Me?"
Chen Qiang pointed at his nose with a dumbfounded look on his face.
Did this Doctor Li have a grudge against him?
Wasn't this clearly pushing him to his death?
"No! The duty of us bloodline warriors is to protect the safety of the humans in the settlement. Chen Qiang has no cultivation. He'll die if he goes out. I won't agree! "
Captain Qi flatly refused.
The other team members nodded in agreement.
"Captain Qi, don't forget that you're cooperating with me in this operation!
You don't have the right to decide.
Besides, Chen Qiang is only going out to attract the attention of the Lightning Rabbit. He doesn't have to fight it. As long as he completes the mission, he can find a way to withdraw.
It's decided. There's no need to say anything else! "
Doctor Li's tone was unquestionable. He looked at Chen Qiang again. "Chen Qiang, I know this is unfair to you.
But for the survival of the human race, every one of us has to make necessary sacrifices at any time.
If you really want to blame someone, just hate me. "
Captain Qi and the other bloodline warriors clenched their fists so tightly that cracking sounds could be heard. However, they couldn't refute Doctor Li's opinion.
After all, they had to listen to Doctor Li's arrangements for this operation.
Chen Qiang took in everyone's reaction. It seemed that he had to go this time even if he didn't want to!
Before leaving last night, Old Man Sun had already told him about this possibility. It was also because of this that people like him who came out with an exploration team would definitely die.
Looking at the huge Lightning Rabbit sitting under the Purple Scented Luo Tree in the distant valley, Chen Qiang's legs began to tremble uncontrollably.
It would be nonsense to say that he wasn't afraid of death!
However, he wasn't willing to die just like that.
"Captain Qi, I think Doctor Li's words aren't without reason. I'm the most suitable person here to lure that rabbit.
However, I want to make a small request before I die. Is that okay? "
Captain Qi raised his head and looked at Chen Qiang's frowning face. He couldn't bear it and said, "Chen Qiang, say it. As long as I can do it, everyone in our exploration team will do it for you!"
"I might not be able to come back this time. However, as long as there's a chance, I still want to try.
How about this, Captain Qi? Do you have any extra Beast Crystal on hand? Can you give me a few pieces? Also, it's best if you give me a knife to defend myself. "
"That's not a problem. I still have three pieces of Beast Crystal on me. I'll give them all to you. Also, this short knife has been with me for many years. It's very sharp. I'll give it to you for self-defense. "
As he spoke, Captain Qi took out a foot-long short knife that he always carried with him and pinned it to Chen Qiang's waist.
"I have a piece of Beast Crystal here. Here you go."
"Me too. I also have two pieces of Beast Crystal."
All the bloodline warriors took out their Beast Crystal and handed it over.
Captain Qi then looked at Doctor Li.
"You don't really think that you can survive, do you? I really don't understand. At this time, why do you need so many Beast Crystal? "
Doctor Li muttered in dissatisfaction. He took out two pieces of Beast Crystal from his bag and threw them to Chen Qiang.
"Hehe, I'm a greedy person. Even if I die, I want to hug the Beast Crystal. My heart will feel at ease."
Chen Qiang smiled as he put away the twenty-three pieces of Beast Crystal.
At the same time, the Beast Crystal immediately converted into two hundred and thirty energy values, which appeared on the system panel.
"Chen Qiang, in a moment, move carefully towards the south. When you're a certain distance away, look for my hand signals. When I tell you to move, you move.
At that time, we'll take the opportunity to steal those Purple Scented Luos.
Remember!
Although the Lightning Rabbit's defense isn't strong, its movement speed isn't slow. Most importantly, you have to guard against the lightning it spits out! "
Although he knew that Chen Qiang's death was inevitable, Captain Qi still explained the Lightning Rabbit's characteristics in detail.
Chen Qiang seriously remembered Captain Qi's words. Only then did he carefully move towards the south, which was slightly higher.
