Chapter 692

The halo of "genius" has further prompted people to doubt Joan, Angel and Ryan.

In the public's impression, geniuses are generally eccentric, have a way of thinking that is very different from ordinary people, and even behave in the eyes of ordinary people as "crazy" or even "perverted".

Joan, Angor and Ryan, the three of them huddled together in a tent, stayed there for two full hours.

Exactly what heinous atrocities they committed to the poor corpse during this time is still unknown.

However, this does not prevent people from using their imaginations...

Joan didn't care much about those outrageous rumors, and only briefly explained them to friends such as Audrey, Hylar and Holden, so as not to worry them, and he didn't bother to care about what others thought.

Angel and Ryan were also troubled by rumors, but they didn't want to disclose the secret of "blood interpretation" to the public, so they simply didn't explain it. Although the rumors were flying all over the sky, they were groundless anyway, and no one dared to accuse them of being "perverts" in person. ".

Today's encounter was very beautiful.

None of the expedition members who participated in the battle were killed, and only a few were injured, and most of them were minor injuries such as wasp stings, knife pricks in the buttocks, and "stinky cloud technique" to smear their faces and induce vomiting. After receiving magical treatment, all of them recovered on the same day up.

When camping that night, the young people gathered around the bonfire, talking about the battle they had just experienced, and they were very excited.

Everyone believes that this battle marks the official start of an exciting and exciting adventure. In the days to come, they will face more challenges, and their courage and wisdom will also be tested more severely.

However, things backfired, and for the next three days, the expedition encountered no challenges worth mentioning.

The deep Rift Valley is like a colorless desert. Every day's journey is equally boring, and the blood in people's hearts gradually fades away.

Nowadays, many people don't even bother to write "exploration logs". In this piece of land that has been trampled by countless predecessors, it is unlikely that there will be any new discoveries anyway.

The planned expedition schedule is nearly halfway through, and most of the expedition members are already tired of the boring travel, and even have the idea of ​​returning to the teleportation station.

On the morning of the seventh day, when the expedition team was assembled and ready to set off, someone finally couldn't help but speak out.

"Mr. Laval, we have been out for a week. If we turn back the same way now, we will still have time to return to school before the end of the month."

"Turn back the same way?" Arnold stared at the student who made the suggestion, and asked coldly, "Come and tell me, what's the point of going back now?"

"Mr. Laval, don't be angry, I mean..."

The boy tried to defend himself, but was interrupted by a series of sharp questions from Arnold.

"During these seven days, have you discovered valuable new mineral veins, collected special biological specimens, or mapped out even a single inch of a brand new map?"

"Sorry, we don't have..." The boy lowered his head in shame.

"Since there is nothing to gain, then I really don't understand. How dare you think that it's time to turn back? Going back now, wouldn't it be a waste of time!"

Arnold's scolding made the camp fall silent.

In this oppressive atmosphere, some people argued quietly.

"We wiped out the gang of kobolds who harassed the mining area, at least we can earn one or two internship points, after all, it's not a waste of time..."

"Just one or two internship points can satisfy you? Then you are really ambitious, and you are worthy of being the top students of Midgard University!"

Arnold laughed back angrily, with sarcasm in his words.

"Okay, Arnold, control your temper."

Arnold's teammate, youth pastor Lori Grant, patted him on the shoulder to reassure his friend.

"Most of the juniors who participated in the internship mission entered the ancient abyss for the first time in their lives. As newcomers, such a performance is already good. You can't use your own standards to demand others."

Arnold took a deep breath, barely restrained his anger and said to the pastor: "Lowry, the reason why I am angry is not all because of their lack of ambition, but more importantly, I can't understand their vulgar, philistine mentality!"

"Where does this start?" Lowry looked surprised.

"Think about it, my friend, the team participating in this expedition, before departure, all bought at least one 'Teleportation' scroll from Mr. Locke, right?"

"That's true."

"With these teleportation scrolls, all of us can be sent back to the starting point at any time, why rush to go back now?"

"I guess...they are probably reluctant to use that expensive scroll."

Lowry sighed softly, already guessing why Arnold was so angry.

"A teleportation scroll is worth 1,200 Gold Duga, and the four of them can only share 300 Gold Duga. If they even have to worry about this little money, it shows that they have already decided in their hearts that even if they spend an extra week on the expedition, it is impossible There is something new, I can’t earn back the cost of the 300 Gold Duga, so I’d rather give up on the expedition, and now turn back the same way, at least I can save a teleportation scroll, am I right?”

After hearing Arnold's analysis, some people in the camp protested in low voices, and more people bowed their heads in shame, as if they had been exposed.

Arnold sighed, turned his back, and whispered to the pastor:

"Lowry, you know that I never show off my noble origins in front of others, but I have to say that I don't see the slightest noble qualities in the young people born in the so-called 'petty bourgeois' families !"

"Even if they are educated in the highest institutions in the New World, they still can't get rid of the disgusting petty bourgeois smell emanating from their bones!"

"It's a waste of time to hang out with such people. Since those unsatisfactory guys want to go back, then go back as soon as possible, so that I won't worry about them!"

The pastor patted Arnold on the back to calm him down.

"I can understand your feelings, Arnold, but your words are too hurtful, let me explain to everyone."

Lowry turned back to the center of the camp, cleared his throat, and said to everyone in a gentle yet majestic tone:

"Should we continue to explore, or turn around and turn back? Since we can't reach a consensus on this issue, instead of reluctantly getting together and making everyone unhappy, it is better to disband the expedition team and use the group as a unit to decide on our own. Itinerary, what do you all think of my suggestion?"

Mr. Pastor's proposal won applauses.

Since the hearts of the people are not in harmony and everyone has their own plans, "breaking up" halfway has become the inevitable end of this adventure team.
