The tense plot of everyone struggling to move towards the giant peak. At this moment, Leon led the way in front, and Andre and others followed carefully, looking around vigilantly, as if every shadow around them was lurking with unknown dangers.
The mountain road near the giant peak was rugged and full of potholes of all sizes, as if it had been trampled by countless giant beasts and baptized by fierce battles with star pets and monsters. The potholes were not filled with clear rainwater, but thick and black blood, emitting waves of disgusting odor, as if it was a pungent mark left by the god of death. Even Sanchez and others, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, could not help but frown and show disgust because of the stench.
Andre asked Skull to stay by his side. Skull was like a loyal guard, always on guard against possible sudden attacks. Its small body exuded a deterrent power that people dare not underestimate.
"This is..." Leon, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped walking. He stared at a crack in a brown rock with a surface like sand. There was a hand hanging there. The wrist was covered with a black metal wristband, which looked particularly abrupt in this gloomy environment. Seeing this, Sanchez's face changed slightly. He immediately ordered the multi-eared monkey to check the situation. The multi-eared monkey was very agile. It came to the hand with a few light jumps. It stretched out its claws to take the hand out. Everyone saw clearly that it was a broken arm. Sanchez took the arm sent back by the multi-eared monkey, looked at it carefully for a long time, his face became a little ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "It's someone from another team. This is a black cloud gold wristband. Anyone who can afford such a fine wristband must be very powerful..."
Lucas, Felix and others also recognized the wristband. Their faces all changed. They knew that the owner of this hand was most likely a high-level bard, or a relatively wealthy sixth-level bard. However, he fell here at this moment. It can be seen that he must have encountered extremely terrible dangers, and there was not even a chance to escape. Thinking of this, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
Andre saw the broken part of the arm, and his heart moved. He said: "Let me see it."
Sanchez was slightly startled, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he still handed the broken hand to Andre as he said.
"You don't recognize this wristband again." Seeing Andre pretending to observe the arm, Lucas couldn't help but sneer slightly, his words were full of sarcasm, as if he believed Andre was just being mysterious.
Andre picked up the broken hand and first carefully examined the broken part. His pupils shrank slightly, but they returned to normal in an instant. Then he continued to check the degree of hardening of the arm and the wristband that was not much damaged. After rummaging for a while, he returned the arm to Sanchez.
"Did you find anything?" Sanchez asked. He attached great importance to Andre's opinion. After all, Andre had noticed dangers that they had not discovered before, and along the way, he also noticed that Andre seemed to be indifferent to the harsh environment around him. If a senior pioneer had such behavior, it would be normal, but Andre was obviously a newcomer who had never participated in pioneering. Such behavior was really too strange! However, everyone has their own secrets, and Sanchez is not in a position to ask too much, so as not to offend others and make enemies.
"Nothing." Andre looked calm as usual, as if he really didn't find anything.
Lucas next to him sneered, and the laughter was particularly harsh in this slightly depressing atmosphere.
Andre glanced at him and suddenly raised his hand.
Snap!
A crisp slap suddenly sounded in the silent forest, and the sound was like thunder, which made everyone stunned.
The most stunned person was Lucas. He only felt a burning pain on his face, and his eyes widened immediately, his face full of disbelief! He, as a senior bard, has a very respected status. Even in a second-rate team like Sanchez, he is a person who is enough to be the captain. But now, he was slapped in the face by an unknown kid? ! This is simply a great shame!
After being stunned for a second, Lucas suddenly came back to his senses, his eyes suddenly turned blood red, he quickly reached out and drew his knife, roaring: "Bastard, I'm going to kill you!!" The voice was full of anger and murderous intent, as if he wanted to eat Andre alive.
Sanchez, Felix and Leon also reacted instantly, and rushed forward to hold Lucas's hand. Sanchez hurriedly persuaded: "Brother Lucas, Brother Lucas, let's talk it over. Don't use the knife first. This place is extremely dangerous. If we kill each other again, I'm afraid everyone's life will be in danger!" He knew very well that in this dangerous Normandy wilderness, internal conflict would undoubtedly be a way to death.
Lucas was almost furious at this moment. He was slapped in the face. What else could he say? He tried desperately to pull out the knife from his waist, but he didn't expect Sanchez's strength to be so great that he held his hand tightly, so that he couldn't pull out the knife for a while. This shocked him again. He didn't expect that Sanchez, who was also at the seventh level, was even stronger than him!
Leon and Felix were also very scared. They hurried to stop the fight and stood in front of Andre and Lucas, fearing that the two of them would really fight, and the consequences would be disastrous.
"Andre, brother Andre, let's talk it out. How can you hit someone!" Felix looked at Andre with a calm expression and said anxiously. After all, Lucas was a high-level bard, and they couldn't afford to offend him easily.
"Yeah!" Leon next to him was also scared. He never thought that Andre, who looked gentle and like a student, had such a hot temper. He started fighting as soon as he said he would, and he was fighting Lucas, a person they had to flatter and coax on weekdays.
"He asked for it." Andre said calmly. Although the surrounding environment was indeed extremely dangerous, the internal strife of the team was not conducive to survival, and it was very likely that someone would secretly do something bad to him, but Lucas obviously had a deep prejudice against him. If there was a chance to harm him, he would definitely not let it go. In this case, why should he worry too much? Moreover, Andre knew in his heart that even if he took action, the fight would not start. Sanchez and others would definitely stop it. Besides, even if a fight really started, he was not afraid at all. He could take the opportunity to get rid of this person who might threaten him, so as to avoid any trouble in the future.
"Uh." Hearing Andre's words, Felix and Leon were both stunned. It was indeed Lucas who had ridiculed them before, but just because of this, he dared to hit someone. This was too bold, wasn't it? Aren't you afraid of becoming a mortal enemy with Lucas?
"You!!" Lucas was so angry that his blood vessels seemed to burst. He used all his strength to pull out the knife, but Sanchez's hand was like an iron clamp, pressing tightly, and he couldn't pull the knife out at all.
"Brother Lucas, this matter is indeed wrong for brother Andre. I apologize to you on his behalf. Let's finish the task first, okay?" Sanchez persuaded earnestly, hoping that Lucas could calm down for the time being and put the overall situation first.
Lucas glared at Sanchez angrily and gritted his teeth. He knew in his heart that Sanchez would never let him fight Andre here, otherwise, if some terrible monster came, all of them would be buried here. Perhaps, Andre had calculated this point, so he dared to attack him, which meant that his slap was in vain. When he thought of this, Lucas's anger burned even more, but he could do nothing about it.
"Damn it, damn it, even if I cut you into pieces, it would not be enough to calm my anger!!" Lucas roared angrily in his heart, his eyes full of violence, his hand tightly grasped the handle of the knife, and after enduring for a long time, he slowly let go.
He glanced at Andre coldly, then turned around and said coldly: "I'll remember this grudge, and I'll settle it with you when I return to Vienna Neustadt!" Although he said that he would settle it when he returned to the base, he actually said this deliberately, in order to create an illusion for Andre, so that the other party would think that he would not do anything in this operation, so that the other party would relax his vigilance.
Seeing Lucas hold back, Sanchez was relieved and turned to Andre and said: "Brother Andre, don't be impulsive again, otherwise I won't help you anymore." He looked at Andre with a serious face, hoping that he could understand the situation at the moment.
Seeing Sanchez's serious expression, Andre just smiled slightly and said, "Let's go." That relaxed look, as if the fierce conflict that just happened didn't matter to him at all.
Seeing this, Sanchez couldn't help but have a headache, and said helplessly: "Let's go, complete the task as soon as possible, so that we can go back as soon as possible!"
Leon and Felix looked at each other, and they both breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. Then Leon continued to walk in front of the team to open the way. Not long after, they saw some body parts on the ground one after another. From these parts, they could judge that they were from other pioneer teams. There were about three or four casualties. Among them, there was a head crawling with tiny insects. The head had been gnawed beyond recognition. The scene was very scary and made people shudder.
"Be careful." These bodies undoubtedly sounded a heavy alarm for Sanchez and others. Everyone became highly alert, nervous, and always paid attention to the slightest movement around them.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a colorful smoke signal flew out from the dense forest on a slope ahead. The signal was particularly eye-catching in the dim forest.
"It's a distress signal!" Sanchez saw the signal and his face suddenly changed. He immediately shouted, "Go!" Then he took the lead and ran quickly in the direction of the signal. Seeing this, the others hurriedly followed him. However, everyone was a little worried. They didn't know what kind of dangerous situation was waiting for them on the other side of the distress signal, and whether they could escape from the crisis. Everyone quickened their pace and ran towards the distress signal, but was it a trap or a companion who really needed help? The unknown front was full of endless dangers and variables, which made people full of worry and curiosity about the subsequent story.
