Chapter 722 - 722 Only Explore the Periphery
722 Only Explore the Periphery
When the territory barrier was gone, not only would they lose their protection, all the members would have to rely on their strength and the territory to defend themselves.
Furthermore, when the territory barrier was lost, there would be a random battle.
The battle was completely random. The opponent and the battle method were unknown. They did not know the strength of the opponent.
Therefore, the only thing they could do now was to improve the strength of the Origin Team as much as possible. Only then would they have a chance to resist the wind and waves.
The members understood that their captain, Liu Yan, and the other top experts had been delayed for more than a day. They must have encountered some trouble in the Hallucinatory Forest. Otherwise, they would not have returned so late.
Although their captain didn’t say what kind of trouble they had encountered, the members of Team Origin could imagine it.
Even with their captain’s strength and a few of the top members of Team Origin, they were still held back for so long. They were late by more than a day. They even returned late the next night. It could be seen that their captain and the others had encountered great trouble this time, and their lives were in great danger.
The members of Team Origin understood that even their captain and a few top-tier experts, who were so powerful, were fighting so hard.
The ordinary members couldn’t relax.
Because of this, when the sky had just turned bright, the members began to get busy after some simple preparations.
The squads that headed to the various resource points in the habitat of the Whirlwind Turtle set off.
The rest of the team members who were in charge of cultivation also took the opportunity to start cultivating.
Of course, these were the ordinary members of Team Origin.
The experts would not participate in such an easy task as gathering resources unless they had nothing to do. They had to put their time and energy into more important places.
At this moment, the experts of Team Origin had a mission, which was to explore the rest of the area around Team Origin.
To the east of the Whirlwind Turtle’s habitat was a small ocean with many islands. To the south was a forest, to the west was a desert, and to the north was a world of ice and snow.
In the southern forest, Liu Yan had already led the sharp knife squad to explore. They encountered many Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers and encountered danger, but they managed to escape in the end. It was even an opportunity for them, and Liu Yan and the others had greatly improved their strength.
This forest was also named the Hallucinatory Forest by Liu Yan and others.
After all, this forest was full of Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers.
Although there were still signs of other creatures in the depths, Liu Yan and the others had yet to explore them.
To be more precise, they did not have the strength to continue exploring.
Regarding this Hallucinatory Forest, Liu Yan and the others had a preliminary understanding of it.
On the whole, although this Hallucinatory Forest was filled with all kinds of precious materials and opportunities, it was undoubtedly dangerous.
Just the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers at the periphery almost caused Liu Yan and a few top experts to lose their lives.
Not to mention, there were also many Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers inside the forest. There were even more powerful Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers and other terrifying creatures.
Although this Hallucinatory Forest was filled with opportunities, it was not something ordinary people could explore.
Although the top experts in Team Origin had all increased their combat strength by one star, it was still not enough.
Just the wreaking havoc of the wind elemental energy in the depths of the Hallucinatory Forest was not something that Allen Smith, Hans Wilson, and the others could resist, let alone the other dangers in the Hallucinatory Forest.
Currently, Liu Yan was the only one in the entire team who could explore the Hallucinatory Forest.
With his battle strength and the SSS-grade special equipment, Wings of Wind God, Liu Yan could continue the exploration. He could explore alone.
Apart from the Hallucinatory Forest, there were three other different landforms in the other three directions of the Whirlwind Turtle’s habitat.
These three places naturally needed to be explored first to determine the general level of danger. Then, they could send out the corresponding teams to continue the exploration.
Liu Yan looked at the experts who had gathered in front of him and said indifferently, “Inside the Wind Barrier, it is full of danger and opportunities. As experts, you naturally need to explore it. However, your mission today is not an authentic exploration but only a preliminary one. You don’t need to enter those places. Stay in the outer area and understand the situation. Other than the direction of the Hallucinatory Forest, the other three directions require exploration. Who is willing to lead the exploration team?”
Liu Yan knew although they were conducting a preliminary exploration of the periphery, it was crucial.
Just like the last time they explored the surrounding terrain, if Liu Yan had let Sun Wen and Derek Dole carefully search the environment, they might have been able to discover the strangeness of the Hallucinatory Forest in advance. When Liu Yan and the others explored the Hallucinatory Forest before, they would have been able to reduce the danger by a lot.
This experience let Liu Yan understand that he needed to understand these places well before exploring them. This way, he could minimize the risks.
Upon hearing Liu Yan’s words, Sun Wen immediately stood up and said, “The last time we explored the terrain, I neglected my duty and didn’t discover the strangeness of the Hallucinatory Forest. This time, I want to make up for my mistake by doing good deeds. Let me lead the team.”
Derek Dole also walked out and said, “I want to make up for my mistakes.”
Liu Yan looked at the two of them and nodded slightly.
Liu Yan naturally didn’t blame them for what happened last time. He agreed to let them lead the team because Derek Dole and Sun Wen both had strong perception abilities. At the same time, they had some special abilities. If they were the ones leading the team, they would be able to discover more.
After all, they were only exploring the periphery of those places. Without powerful perception and some special abilities, it was impossible to perceive the general situation inside those places from the periphery.
Liu Yan then turned to the remaining experts. “Three directions. We need three teams. There’s one team left. Who will lead it?”
Xu Han, He Yang, Jin Cheng, and the others looked at each other.
Although they were the captains of their squads, they had vice-captains.
In any case, they were only leading their teams to collect and cultivate in the habitat of the whirlwind turtle, which was relatively safe and simple. Since the vice-captains were competent, these squad captains would naturally be free to participate in this operation.
“My perception ability is average, but Allen Smith’s perception ability is not bad. We can let him do it.” Xu Han said.
In terms of perception, Xu Han had always been average.
However, Xu Han was more familiar with Allen Smith. He knew that Allen Smith’s perception was strong. Although it was not as strong as a monster like Liu Yan, it was strong enough. In Team Origin, Allen Smith’s perception was definitely among the best.
