Chapter 146 Flowing Forest

Liu Cheng picked up a piece of bark on the ground that was cracked and peeled off by the pulse ballistics, and tested it with equipment.

It was found that the elemental composition of the vegetation was very similar to the elements of the vegetation on the blue star where he was born, and it belonged to a vegetation species that was half carbon-based and half metallic.

I think so.

If the content of metal elements in the vegetation is too low, it will not be able to withstand the strong gravity on this planet.

He took a few steps forward and stabbed the body of a killed alien creature with his dagger.

This alien creature looks like a large rat with a canine head. Not counting its tail, its body is more than half a meter long.

"What's this?"

William asked, obviously he didn't know much about alien creatures.

Liu Cheng replied calmly:

"Dog-headed rats are good at biting and scratching. They like to move in groups and defeat stronger creatures with their huge numbers.

However, he is a first-level alien creature and his strength does not pose much of a threat. "

After saying that, Liu Cheng threw the body aside on the ground.

He rubbed the dagger in his hand against the trees beside him, wiped off the blue blood on it, inserted it back into the holster, turned around and said to everyone:

"Advance to the river in the predetermined formation during training. Everyone should be alert and try to reach the river before dark to join the platoon leader and the Marines."

Everyone nodded and immediately started taking action.

Two detectives with special powers, Ghost and Detective, walked at the front of the team, with Liu Cheng accompanying them to protect them.

The two brothers with enhanced rock powers recommended by Fu Yan were guarding on both sides of the team. Alice, John and William were in the middle of the team.

Tian Tiantian and Fu Yan, who had rich combat experience, took the rear.

The vegetation on planet ST55568 is extremely dense, and tall trees can reach 20 to 30 meters.

Even flowers and plants can grow to a height of one or two meters, so the denser the vegetation in the forest, the narrower the field of vision.

The ghost's invisibility power consumes less power energy, so it is used almost all the way during the team's march to detect dangers ahead for the team in advance.

He patrolled back and forth in front of the team, and could vaguely hear the rustling sound caused by the ghost touching the leaves of flowers and plants as it shuttled through the dense jungle.

Where it is inconvenient for the ghost to detect in time, the detective will use his own perception system to detect.

Whenever the biological current in the vegetation flows through the metal synapse, light will flash on the surface of the vegetation.

Colorful colors fill every corner of the forest, so places where starlight cannot shine do not appear too dim.

Everyone remained vigilant and marched through the grass that was as tall as half a person.

Suddenly Liu Cheng pulled out a dagger from under his tactical cloak, turned around and threw it towards the person on the right side of the team who had enhanced rock powers.

"Bang."

With a muffled sound, the dagger grazed the tip of Carter's nose and penetrated deeply into the trunk of a big tree.

Carter, one of the two brothers with enhanced rock powers, was startled by the sudden flying dagger, and looked at the captain Liu Cheng in confusion.

His elder brother Carla was not as good-tempered as his younger brother. He had a somewhat impulsive personality. He immediately looked at Liu Cheng with dissatisfaction and said accusingly:

"Captain Butcher, what are you doing?

Throwing knives at my brother for no reason, do you want to intimidate us two brothers? ! "

Liu Cheng looked at Kara with cold eyes and pointed in the direction of the tree trunk where the flying knife had been inserted.

Everyone in the team looked carefully at the place where the flying knife was inserted and hit, and saw that the blade passed through the body of a metal spider and fixed it tightly on the tree trunk.

The metal spider's whole body is blue, with golden light flowing around it.

It may be more eye-catching in other places, but in this gleaming forest, it blends perfectly with the environment.

Among the new recruits, John, who had a relatively good knowledge of alien creatures, immediately said:

"It's a blue-gold spider, a first-level alien creature. Its attack power is not strong, but it is highly poisonous. Alien creatures below third-level are almost poisoned and die immediately!"

When his younger brother Carter heard this, he saw the remaining spider silk on his shoulders. His muscular body trembled, and he felt the back of his neck was cold and stiff.

He quickly touched himself and felt relieved when he found that there were no traces of being bitten.

At the same time, he also understood the reason why Liu Cheng suddenly threw a flying knife at him.

If Liu Cheng hadn't discovered the blue-gold spider falling on him along the silk thread in time, he might have ended up here.

After all, even if the enhanced powers of rock are the same as the enhanced powers of fine steel, and the strengthened body parts can be protected from toxins, he himself must be determined to use the powers.

Kara, the brother who had questioned Liu Cheng before, couldn't help but look ashamed, and apologized to Liu Cheng:

"I'm sorry Captain Butcher, I didn't know you were saving my brother. I was impulsive just now."

Liu Cheng snorted coldly and ignored Kara's apology.

After all, subordinates colliding with superiors are very serious in the army.

But when Liu Cheng thought that they were still new recruits and needed to grow up and change their mentality, he decided to wait until it was safe to worry about this matter.

He turned around directly and said to the ghost and the detective in front of the team:

"As the two of you who are detectives with special powers in the team, you cannot just pay attention to the situation in front of the team.

The team's front, rear, left, right, and even the situation above and below the ground are also responsible. "

The ghost and the detective lowered their heads in shame.

As reconnaissance-type psychics, the two of them did not notice the blue-gold spider that had already posed a threat to the team members.

They needed the butcher captain, who was an auxiliary psychic, to remind them.

At this moment, both of them wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Seeing this, Fu Yan, who was behind, said:

"Okay, correct your problems as soon as the captain pointed them out, and don't be too self-deprecating."

Several people nodded, and Liu Cheng said:

"Keep going."

In the following journey, the seven recruits were all very alert.

Not only did the ghost and the inspector, who were responsible for reconnaissance, find out various poisonous creatures hidden in the forest in time.

Even the two brothers Karakat, who were responsible for defending both sides, discovered many dangerous situations in time without the reminder of the ghost and the inspector.

Liu Cheng, who was observing the situation of the team members while marching, did not show his expression on the surface, but he was very satisfied with the speed of change of the members in his heart.

It seems that his vision in selecting members is still good, and every recruit has the potential to grow.

Three hours later, the group stopped halfway through their journey.

Although the forest was quiet on the surface, everyone with special powers could hear the sound of gunfire coming from the front along the direction of the wind flowing through the forest.

"It seems that other troops are in battle. Everyone, be alert. Let's go check the situation!"

After Liu Cheng gave the order, everyone looked around and groped towards the direction where the gunfire came from.
