When he returned to the same place in nine days, everyone else had already returned, even Liu Gaotang. However, the old man's face was not very good, and although he was not smiling as always, it was obvious that he was not happy. Apparently, the results of the exploration of this area have not been satisfactory.

"Did you find anything?" Although he didn't hold out any hope, Liu Gaotang still asked.

"What can they find?" Ding Siyuan sneered and pursed his lips disapprovingly. The two of them had been wandering around the mountains and forests for so long, and they hadn't found a single dragon immortal, so naturally they didn't think that Jiutian and Han Chenghe would be able to find anything.

Jiutian glanced at him and said to Liu Gaotang: "We have only found one dragon immortal in the growth stage, and as for the dragon immortal in the mature stage, we have not yet found it. ”

This surprised the others. After Liu Gaotang heard the dragon immortal eyes that were only in the growth stage, his eyes once again showed a look of disappointment.

However, Ding Siyuan's face was a little unsightly, he was still sneering firmly for nine days in the last second, and he would not find anything, and the next second he was told that he had gained something. It looks like it's intentional.

In fact, it's true, Nine Days is deliberate.

However, for Ding Siyuan, the good news was that this was just a dragon immortal in the growth stage, and it had no impact on the current situation, but at the same time, he still quickly found the direction to question Jiutian.

"Did you find out? Or did Xiao Han find out?" Ding Siyuan still felt that Jiutian was just a person who came in through the back door, and he didn't have any strength in his own right. Therefore, he was more inclined that this dragon immortal was the result of Han Chenghe's discovery, which would also make him feel less ashamed.

Han Chenghe was now extremely respectful of Jiutian, and was about to speak, when Lu She, who was next to him, quickly grabbed his shoulders and called him aside.

"Don't get involved in other people's fights. Lu Shi said in a low voice: "It's okay to do your own thing, going out, especially this kind of field work, and having a good relationship with a powerful seeker can sometimes even save our lives." ”

Han Chenghe's face was a little weird, according to what Lu Shi said, he felt that he should hold Jiutian's thigh well, although he was not sociable, he also knew that Jiutian didn't actually rely on his experience, but he learned a lot of useful things from Jiutian.

However, Lu Shi misunderstood Han Chenghe's strange expression, and said: "I didn't mean that I want you to please him, after all, we are equal in status, but at least you can't open your mouth at this time to leave a bad impression on others." ”

"But this dragon immortal was indeed discovered by Jiutian, and even he saved my life!" Han Chenghe was a little indignant, "What qualifications does this person surnamed Ding have to say this about Jiutian?"

Lu Shi was taken aback when he heard this, not because of the matter of Long Xianmu, but because Han Chenghe almost died.

"What's going on? Are you hurt, or we'll go to the hospital first?"

Compared to the discordant club members, several members of the Spirit Plant Association are obviously more harmonious and harmonious.

With some shame on his face, Han Chenghe briefly talked about what happened. Lu Shi's heart palpitated, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "According to what you say, it's really lucky that I followed an experienced seeker. In fact, I also encountered some troubles that I couldn't solve, and Ding Siyuan helped solve them. ”

At this moment, according to Han Chenghe's tone, Lu Shi keenly found that Han Chenghe's attitude towards Jiutian was completely respectful. This alarmed him, and for researchers like them, the source of respect was often the professionalism of the other person, not power or money. Of course, it's not that they treat money or power like dung, but that kind of respect is superficial, not sincere.

This made Lu Shi look at Jiutian thoughtfully, maybe this young man didn't come in through the back door.

"Okay, this is not a place for you to quarrel, if you have any grievances, you will hold back any grievances!" Liu Gaoyu looked displeased, and then said directly: "The distribution of dragon immortals in this area is extremely rare, which means that cobalt blue lights will not grow in this area, now we will set off to the second area." It will arrive around 4 a.m., and then you can take a break on the shuttle. ”

After all, he is the team leader, and he is the team leader on behalf of the entrusting party, whether it is Ding Siyuan or Jiutian, it is impossible to have any opinions.

Everyone got on the shuttle once, and when he originally came, he was actually next to Ding Siyuan's position, but now the relationship between the two has deteriorated, and neither side wants to sit next to each other.

Lu Shi was very thoughtful, and with the excuse of wanting to talk more with Ding Siyuan, he let Jiutian sit in his position in the back row, next to Han Chenghe. Now both sides don't have to see each other's hated faces, and they are all happy.

Accompanied by whispered conversations all the way, the shuttle shuttled through the mountains and forests, and gradually the sound faded away, and everyone began to close their eyes and recuperate.

The sky was faintly bright, and the morning sun pierced the sky, but soon clouds drifted over, blocking the newly emerging sunlight.

Jiutian stepped down from the shuttle, stretched his waist, and looked at the weather.

"It looks like today is going to be a day without sunshine. Lu Shi stepped off the shuttle, paced to Jiutian's side and said with a smile: "I didn't have time to thank you for saving Xiao Han yesterday." ”

"You're welcome. Jiutian was also very polite, and he sensed that Lu Shi was releasing kindness to him, "Since I am a partner and an explorer, it is also one of my duties to avoid danger. ”

"It's still you who bothered to take care of him today, Xiao Han is very smart, but he has a little less experience, and he is not very good at communicating with people, so you take care of it more. Lu Shi said.

Just when the two were chatting with each other, the others also walked down one after another to welcome the new day.

But after all, it is impossible to get any sufficient rest time on the shuttle, although the shuttle is quite high-end, but after all, it is only a means of transportation, and everyone's state is generally not too good.

Liu Gaotang still summoned everyone with an expressionless face.

"This is the second of the three areas where cobalt blue lights may exist, as for today's content, it is the same as yesterday, find the dragon immortal and remember the route and location. It's still the same old request, whether it's a harvest or not, to return here before dark. I won't say much more nonsense, and now let's take action. ”

After that, Liu Gaotang still entered the mountains and forests alone as he did yesterday. As for the others, they are still the partners assigned yesterday.

Seeing Ding Siyuan and Lu Shi leave, Jiutian looked at the direction and said to Han Chenghe, "Let's go, let's go too, I hope that this time we are lucky enough to find the cobalt blue light, so that we don't have to spend time running to explore the third area."

There is nothing noticeably different from the first area searched, or that most of the mountains and forests are actually very similar, and besides, they are only a few hours away, and they do not show any drastic changes.

Jiutian has already been familiar with the road, calmly unfolding the perception, and constantly exploring the information refreshed on the system panel.

No.

No......

Or not!

From the faint light of the day to the approaching noon, Jiutian was sure that he had already walked through most of the area in the direction he chose. If no dragon immortals have been found in most of this area, then the possibility that a certain number of dragon immortals exist in the entire area is not very high.

"Looks like we're going to head to the Third Division. Jiutian shook his head and said to Han Chenghe, who was following him.

There was silence for two seconds.

Han Chenghe seemed to suddenly come back to his senses, and let out a somewhat dull voice, "Uh?

Jiutian turned his head to look at Han Chenghe, feeling that the other party's mental state was a little wrong. Such a close conversation requires a reaction time of close to two seconds, which is a bit too long.

"What's wrong with you?" asked Jiutian.

"I don't know, maybe I didn't have a good rest. Han Chenghe yawned, tears were about to burst out, "Climbing the mountain today is particularly tiring." ”

Didn't sleep well? Nine days were noncommittal, everyone slept very lightly yesterday, but he clearly heard Han Chenghe snore.

"If it really doesn't work, then you go back and rest first?" Jiutian said thoughtfully, anyway, Han Chenghe's absence had no effect on his work efficiency, he was alive and well, and he didn't feel tired.

"No, it looks like I'm delicate. Han Chenghe refused without hesitation, "I'm not a little girl who grew up in a greenhouse, I can't stand this bit of suffering." ”

"Then let's move on. Jiutian nodded and didn't say anything. Indeed, if you can't endure this hardship, don't think about any field work.

Time continued to pass, and the two of them continued to move forward, and there was plenty of time today, and there was still a long time before it got dark, enough for the two of them to complete the search of the area they were responsible for.

It's just that as he continued to go deeper, Han Chenghe seemed to be more tired, and his pace began to slow down, so much so that Jiutian had to slow down to take care of the other party. And the yawns were one after another, and Jiutian, who was not tired, had been hearing this voice for nine days, and he felt inexplicably sleepy.

After all, yawning is contagious.

Another yawn came, Jiutian couldn't bear it anymore, and turned his head to prepare for Han Chenghe to go back and rest first.

But when he turned his head, he was startled, the other party's eyes were bloodshot, as if he had pink eye, but his eyes were a little dull, and he felt a little out of focus. The word exhaustion was written all over his face, and it was not surprising that Jiutian would have had to lie down on the ground and fall asleep without regard to it if Han Chenghe was given two minutes of rest.

"You need to rest!" Jiutian immediately said: "We will go back immediately, you immediately get on the shuttle to rest, I feel that you are not far from sudden death now." ”

After two seconds of silence, Han Chenghe seemed to be an unresponsive machine, and he responded with two hellos.

Perhaps it was the word rest that stimulated Han Chenghe, and he closed his eyes as the words fell.

Jiutian was startled, and hurriedly reached out and grabbed Han Chenghe to prevent him from falling.

But what happened next made Jiutian feel a little creepy.

Han Chenghe did not fall, but instead broke free from Jiutian's palm with great strength. Then he closed his eyes and walked slowly in one direction. Although his eyes were closed, the strange thing was that he did not knock down any trees or trip, but as if he could see, he would deliberately avoid the obstacles in front of him.

This made words like "walking dead" and "zombie" involuntarily come to Jiutian's mind.

Could it be that at some point before he knew it, a Resident Evil broke out in this world?

This kind of chaotic thought flashed through Jiutian's mind again. But soon these unorthodox thoughts were driven out of his mind. He hurriedly followed Han Chenghe and clasped his shoulders hard, he couldn't let this thing go on like this, it seemed that this work had to be interrupted, and Han Chenghe needed to be treated.

But with his movements, Han Chenghe's face showed a hideous expression, and he turned around and punched at Jiutian.

Fortunately, this state did not increase Han Chenghe's combat ability, and Jiutian easily subdued the other party and pressed his hands to the ground.

Han Cheng's desperate struggle was like a fish caught by someone. Seeing this, Jiutian slashed at the side of his ear with a hand knife without hesitation.

With a sound, the world calmed down, and Han Chenghe fainted smoothly.

In this case, it was obviously an extravagant hope to continue working, so he carried Han Chenghe on his shoulders and returned the way he came. After all, carrying a person on his back really affects the speed too much, and when he comes back with such a toss, the sun is already in the west, and the sky is darkening.

"What's going on?" The driver of the shuttle was listening to a song on the shuttle with headphones, and when he caught a glimpse of Jiutian carrying a person back, he was immediately frightened and hurriedly ran out of the car.

"Who knows what's going on, all of a sudden he went crazy and tried to attack me. "Nine days didn't have a good airway, and now he wondered if Han Chenghe had some kind of mental illness, such as mania or sleepwalking.

"How can this be?" the driver was incredulous, and then, as if remembering something, he pulled out a bundle of rope from the car, and said, "Then tie him up first." ”

Jiu Tianzheng had this meaning, and immediately took the rope to tie Han Cheng and Wuhua Da, and then threw them into the shuttle. Anyway, it was almost time to return, so Jiutian waited in the car for the others to come back, and guarded Han Chenghe by the way.

Time passed, and the sky finally darkened completely, and the surroundings began to get pitch black. Jiutian looked at the mountains and forests in the darkness with some distraction, it stands to reason that the others should almost come back, but at the moment there was silence around, except for some wind and insect chirps, there was no sound about humans.

"Is there a way to contact Team Leader Liu?" asked the driver.

"By the way, I have a communicator here to contact Team Leader Liu. The driver was reminded and hurriedly found it.

Jiutian glanced at him and couldn't help but be speechless, if he had known that there was a communicator, he would have sent Han Chenghe back to contact. If something like this happens, you can't continue to work.

The communicator is turned on, and the indicator light on it turns green after flashing a few times, indicating that the docking is successful.

"Hey, Team Leader Liu? The driver shouted into the communicator.

However, there was no sound but silence.

"Team Leader?"

"Team Leader?"

"Are you there?"

"Please reply!"

It was still quiet.

Jiutian took a deep breath and his face became serious.

Something went wrong.
