Chapter 247 acting alone
The camp had been established. After the huge trees were cut down, the scattered wood blocks and the burning flames illuminated the surroundings. Several mercenaries dispersed and were alerted. The creatures on this small island were large, beyond the understanding of ordinary people. The country of giants was actually no longer as happy as they did when they discovered this island, and became more and more cautious, because if they were not careful, they would fall into death at any time.
With a light "buzz" sound, a fluorescent light suddenly passed through the air, and then a dull sound of "bang" sounded, and a bunch of juice splashed out around the sound. When the people in the camp ran over to see, a huge black spider as tall as two people were pierced and died on the ground.
He came over silently, and even the alert mercenaries did not notice it. This huge big guy actually borrowed the color of his body and came over quietly in the dark. If he really broke into the camp, it would be a disaster. I don’t know how many people would die.
It was terrifying to think about it. A mercenary couldn't help but step forward and planned to kick the dead spider with his feet, but Jia Huan grabbed it and shook his head and said, "If you don't want to die, don't touch it, especially the splashing juice." As he said that, he pointed to the grass next to him.
The grass had withered. It turned white in color and looked like it was burned by fire. This made the mercenary gasp. If his feet were stained with the juice, it would be useless.
"It has a strong acidity and corrosion effect. Try to cover up the splashed juice with soil. Also... light a bonfire on the periphery. It is not enough to just have a bonfire in the central area." Jia Huan said to the team leader, "Let's start with someone to do it now!"
He was obviously the team leader, but he just felt that Jia Huan's words had to be done, which was the right choice, so he didn't have much to say and directly ordered his men to start lighting the bonfire. Five teams had gathered in this camp and did things very quickly.
After Jia Huan finished giving orders, he did not participate. He just sat aside with Annie and watched. Then when everything was arranged, he and Annie moved into the tent set up by the mercenaries for them.
Nothing scary happened this night. The alert mercenaries were very nervous, and they used night vision devices this time, but fortunately nothing happened. When dawn, all the people breathed a long sigh. The light during the day gave people some confidence.
In the morning, another team of people came over to build the road and finally opened up the road. Armored vehicles began to enter the camp. The size of the camp also began to expand. The huge spider was also dragged away. When towed away, a team leader deliberately explained the precautions to the transporters.
The scale of the camp has expanded again. The entry of armored vehicles has made the mercenaries much stronger. This is a powerful weapon to deal with these giant monsters. Of course, this is just a psychological comfort for them. You should know that those giant monsters are even much larger than these armored vehicles.
After the camp expanded, the people on the freighter began to gather towards the camp one after another. Basically, most of the people came over, and only crew members, some left-behind reserve personnel and scientific researchers engaged in research were left on the freighter. After all, all the research equipment was on the freighter and it was not easy to move.
Emilia also followed her. After she arrived at the camp, she immediately went to look for Jia Huan. The mercenaries showed her the way, and then she walked not far ahead, where there was a very large lake. On the stones next to the lake, there were two people sitting side by side, one of them holding a fishing rod.
Emilia walked directly behind them and stood there without saying a word. However, Jia Huan and Annie seemed to have no idea that she was coming, and sat there fishing motionlessly. Suddenly, they saw the fishing rod sinking, and Jia Huan suddenly pulled the fishing rod. Suddenly, they saw the sound of a "scumbling" sound of water stirring on the water surface.
A huge fish was pulled out of the water, more than one person long. But the fish was very strange. It was pulled out of the water without struggling. Then it followed the fishing rod and threw it to the grass. With a "click", it landed on the ground, and it jumped for a few times before it stopped moving.
This was obviously a live fish, and it was such a big live fish. It was caught by Jia Huan like this, and she didn't struggle. She had never seen such a stupid fish before. She couldn't help but exclaim twice and said, "It seems that you are really good at fishing. I have seen two kinds of creatures transported back to the cargo ship."
"Then why don't you stay on the boat for research?" Jia Huan didn't look back and threw the fish hook into the water. He said slowly, "I just want to improve my life. Those mercenaries have to change their tastes." As he was speaking, four mercenaries came, and they all waved to Jia Huan with a smile.
"Oh, this fish meets Mr. Jia, it can only be considered unlucky!" A mercenary smiled at Jia Huan with a little flattering smile, "We will leave Mr. Jia the best and tenderest fish."
Jia Huan just smiled and waved his hand. The mercenaries had already lifted the fish and walked towards the camp. They continued fishing, but in just a few minutes, another fish was hooked. When Jia Huan mentioned it, a fish was caught again, and it seemed like the fish last time, without any resistance. Only after it landed on the ground, it jumped around twice.
This fish was larger than the one just now, almost three people in length. This big fish was caught easily and casually by Jia Huan. Such a big and heavy fish was thrown up by a fishing rod. Emilia felt a little numb, which was incredible.
There is something that makes Emilia even more numb, that is, Jia Huan is not fishing at this time. And she clearly saw the hook on the fishing rod, which was straight. She couldn't help but be stunned. Yes, is there anything more incredible than this?
"Hey, Mr. Jia!" Seeing that Jia Huan was leaving and had no intention of paying attention to him, I couldn't help but say, "Can you wait a moment! I think... I want to explain some things to you!"
Jia Huan stopped, looked at Emilia, and then smiled slightly: "Okay, where do you want to say it?"
"Can we go there? It's just two of us!" Emilia said in anticipation to Jia Huan, pointing to a green tree on the other side of the lake. "It's a good place, and no one comes to disturb us, so it's just two of us!" She emphasized the "two people" again.
This made Annie a little dissatisfied. She snorted softly and looked at Jia Huan. Jia Huan touched her head and said, "Wait for me here and let the mercenaries take the fish away. I will be back soon, go to the camp to wait for me!" As she said that, she waved her head to Emilia and asked her to be in front.
Emilia was also polite, so she walked in front and walked towards the shaded place. Jia Huan then followed. Annie, who was beside her, stomped her feet, snorted, and walked towards the camp unwillingly. Soon, several more people came over and carried the big fish away.
Now these people are no longer so shocked by such a huge thing. Because all the creatures here look like a word - big. Even mosquitoes are the size of fists. The covered words can be killed directly with a gun. And I am also afraid that the mosquito repellent potions brought by these mercenaries are nothing scary.
Under the shade of the tree, Jia Huan sat on the ground, signaling Emilia to sit down too. But Emilia still insisted on standing. She looked at Jia Huan, then took a breath and said, "I have studied the mythological systems of various countries. I also have some understanding of the mythological systems of China. So... I have been paying attention to you these days!"
When Jia Huan heard this, he nodded and said, "You are pretty good. When everyone is staring at Annie, it is rare that you can lock your eyes on me. Tell me, what are you going to do?"
"I don't want to do anything because I don't have the ability and no reason or condition to let you do anything." Emilia laughed, "You must belong to a branch in the Chinese mythology system, and I also know that this branch must belong to Taoism. If it is Buddhism, you will not come here with you. They emphasize personal cultivation. Taoism emphasizes personal cultivation."
Although it is just a difference between one word. In Chinese, it is just a difference between one word, but its meaning is very different. Because cultivating the mind is to deal with the world, and being outside the world, the four elements are empty. While cultivating the mind is to enter the world, devote yourself to the world, and sharpen your mind and nature. It seems that this woman is really not simple, even the two major Chinese teachings can point out their differences to the point.
"I have to say that your vision is unique!" Jia Huan did not mean to hide it from her, and actually agreed, "You are just trying to explain this? If so, then our conversation should end here."
Emilia pursed her lips, as if she had made a decision, and said to Jia Huan: "I am just a scientist who is here to conduct research. No, in fact, the subjects I am studying are all myths and legends from various countries, and I came here to confirm that legends are actually facts."
"Don't say you came here just for the paper!" Jia Huan couldn't help laughing.
Emilia actually nodded: "This is just a part, and more importantly, I want to find some clues...that is, is there a god who abandons his wife in the kingdom of Warner Gods?" When she said this, her face looked very calm, but her eyes kept looking into the distance.
