Chapter 67 Exploring the Mysteries of Northern Tibet (10)
"It's not Wei Xun's fault."
When Wei Xun left the team, there was a quarrel in Ding Yi's live broadcast room. Some people said that Wei Xun was not able to bear the responsibility of the captain and was irresponsible. Some people ridiculed that those veteran travelers looked down on Wei Xun as the captain. Now, Wei Xun also looked down on them. Both sides argued with each other, but the travelers in the big brigade who were also watching the live broadcast did not think so.
"It's purely that Wei Xun's strength is no longer at the same level as them-staying together is not good for both sides."
The new observer of the Crimson Brigade shook his head, turned off the barrage, and his eyes fell on Wei Xun again. The upper level of the Crimson Brigade is the second most powerful Feihong Brigade in the Asia region. These top and mature big brigades have clear division of labor, including analysis department, history department, title research and matching department, observation department, etc. Observers are also divided into vlog observers and live observers.
The group will invest in purchasing a large number of vlogs. The former's responsibility is to analyze and count the titles, personalities, and potentials of each tour guide and traveler from the vlogs, and summarize the data.
The latter is further divided into new observers and ordinary observers. Like the new observer of the Crimson Brigade now, he has a memory title. The big screen in front of him is simultaneously showing live broadcasts from ten live broadcast rooms, and he can observe newcomers in ten journeys at the same time.
But now, he has cut off other live broadcast rooms and is concentrating on this journey to northern Tibet. His attention will occasionally be on Xu Yang, Fei Lezhi and others, but most of the time, he is focused on Wei Xun.
Because this Wei Xun is so talented and incredible - as early as the forum post "Newcomer Traveler Tramples on the Tour Guide" became popular, the new observer of the Crimson Brigade noticed him.
But until now, his evaluation of Wei Xun has become higher and higher, but he still can't figure out where his limit is.
"The title of wild heart played a very important role in this journey."
He wrote this sentence, hesitated for a while, crossed out very important, and changed it to relatively important.
Wild heart made Wei Xun more adaptable to the journey and the harsh environment of the plateau. Many people focused on the powerful snow leopard, exclaiming how strong the snow leopard was and how lucky Wei Xun was, but the new observers of the Crimson Brigade felt that whether it was completing the branch scenic spot mission or in the process of Wei Xun and Ding Yi and other members of the brigade, it was the home court of Wei Xun's personal show.
If it were other newcomers, with the help of snow leopards, his plans might all rely on snow leopards, but Wei Xun was not.
To be honest, the observers of the Crimson Brigade saw a feeling of "big boss tourists taking fierce pets on an outing" when watching the live broadcast. Obviously, compared with humans, fierce beasts like snow leopards should be more eye-catching.
But in fact, anyone who watched this live broadcast could not take their eyes off Wei Xun.
"Wei Xun is too strong and is not suitable for companions of lower levels."
The new observer paused and wrote: "Not suitable for leading newcomers."
After writing this sentence, he hesitated again. Wei Xun is indeed very independent. He will not hold back on those who have bad intentions and is decisive and sharp. The brigade and the newcomers are all considered a burden to him, and he also chose to act alone.
But Wei Xun did not ignore the newcomers. When Xu Yang was in danger, he was the first to think of a solution. He saved Xu Yang and indirectly saved many veteran travelers. When there was something strange in the tent, he took the initiative to deal with it. He did not shrink or retreat when encountering things. He even saved Yue Chenghua by the Dangre Yongcuo Lake.
Just looking at Fei Lezhi and others bowing to him and sincerely convinced him, you can know that Wei Xun is not the kind of unique traveler who cannot tolerate others, but the kind who is born with a very charismatic leadership. It seems that he is born to be suitable for the environment of the brigade.
It is not a problem of Wei Xun himself, but it is purely because the travelers who work with him are too weak and unsuitable.
If they were forced to follow Wei Xun, they would encounter greater danger, which would be bad for everyone. Just like this time when Wei Xun gave the brooch to Jiang Hongguang and left by himself, it was actually the best choice from a macro perspective.
After Wei Xun left, there were exactly nine people in the team heading to the Xiangxiong ruins, and they were distributed in a three-three-three pattern, and the forces were balanced again. Without Wei Xun, Jiang Hongguang's small team was the strongest, and they were also acquaintances who had worked with the other three-person group, so they were better able to cooperate and convince the crowd.
What's more, the tour guide and the captain of this team had all left, and they could not tolerate any more internal strife. The veteran travelers all understood that it was meaningless to continue the chaos. It can be said that Wei Xun's departure not only liberated himself, but also directly resolved the disputes within the team by cutting the Gordian knot.
Moreover, the new observers saw that Wei Xun, who had left first, would probably deal with the dangers that might be encountered on the mountain road in advance.
In this way, the team was safer on the way to the Xiangxiong ruins.
What Wei Xun wants to do is not to conquer the brigade, nor to convince someone. His goal is always higher. It can be said that he does not like this brigade.
Including Yue Chenghua, who has evil intentions, Ding Yi and others, he does not like them all.
"Wei Xun is a new traveler with extraordinary qualifications and exceptional excellence. We must recruit him as soon as possible, otherwise he will be preempted by other brigades."
Usually, he will consider writing a recommendation letter after the new traveler has passed the second or even the third attraction. But now, even though they haven't even reached the first attraction, the recommendation letter of the new observer of the Crimson Brigade has been sent to the upper level. He has a hunch that if the new observers of other large brigades are not blind, they will definitely send recommendation letters to the upper level.
This Wei Xun is not like a new traveler, but a battle-hardened, mature and powerful traveler! He can be taken on dangerous or even extremely dangerous journeys without much training!
Moreover, the new observer has a hunch that Wei Xun may be a rare, phenomenal new traveler, just like An Xuefeng, Yu Hehui, and Qi Lecheng, the captain of their Feihong Brigade.
"Be careful, Wei Xun."
After sending the invitation letter, the new observer turned his attention to the live broadcast. He tuned up the tour guide frequency and saw Ding Yi spend a lot of money to buy cattle and sheep from Wenbunan Village. He was going to kill animals for sacrifice by the lake. The new observer shook his head. The head and the body were all in Wei Xun's hands. Even if Ding Yi really attracted the dragon fish again, it would be a waste of effort.
What's more, the dragon fish had just been tortured by Wei Xun last night, and it must be full of hatred for humans, especially the strong flashlight that had been shone on it. And that flashlight is now in Yue Chenghua's hand. Ding Yi may suffer a great loss for having performed such a large-scale sacrifice to attract the dragon and fish, and bringing Yue Chenghua with him.
It is obvious that Ding Yi can never suppress Wei Xun, let alone control him and kill him. It is more like saying that Ding Yi's every move is under Wei Xun's control. Everyone can watch the live broadcast. Not only the tourists are paying attention, but I am afraid that those people in the tour guide alliance are also paying attention. They will not let such a talented new tourist leave the journey so smoothly.
"It is recommended to go to the end of the journey to welcome Wei Xun in advance and beware of the tour guide alliance."
The new observers of several large brigades expressed the same meaning in different words. Of course, their large brigades have their own ways of invading the journey. Going to the end of the journey to welcome Wei Xun not only shows their attention, but also can well prevent the tour guide alliance from taking action - as for whether several large brigades will send people to wait at the end of the journey and crash tragically, it is none of their business.
"Kill Wei Xun."
At the same time, people from all major tour guide alliances are also paying attention to this live broadcast.
"Kill him, control him, anyway, we can't let him come out intact."
A woman with a purple cloak and a curvy figure lazily leaned on the sofa. Beside her were beautiful women in various professional clothes, some peeling grapes for her, some feeding her fruit mouth to mouth, some massaging her legs, and some even lying on the carpet, using their bodies as footstools.
But although these women are beautiful in their own ways, if you look closely, you can find that their eyes are gray and without light.
"Waste Ding Yi, useless thing, let the Butcher Alliance recruit him if they want."
The woman was fed a few grapes, and then she was even more amused after seeing the live broadcast room:
"That's it, Ding Yi is just that, it really makes me laugh, but it's funnier than the Spring Festival Gala skit!"
* *
At the bank of Yongcuo Lake, Ding Yi could hardly contain his excitement and looked forward to it. Skinned and beheaded cattle and sheep were already piled up by the lake. Sheng Zhengqing and others were force-fed fish meat by him in the morning. At this moment, as Yue Chenghua said, they could not control themselves. After kowtowed and covered with mud by the lake, they crawled to the lakeside to drink lake water to wash their intestines. Now they were exhausted and limp by the lakeside.
Yue Chenghua, on the other hand, seemed to have been "sacrificed" yesterday. Even though he ate fish meat today, he did not lose control of his body again. He was temporarily allowed by Ding Yi to stand by his side.
After all, these four people were still useful and were Ding Yi's candidates for controlling the brigade. It would be a pity if they all died here.
The human and animal sacrifices were ready. Looking at the sky, it was still terribly gloomy. Everything was ready, only the east wind was missing. And under Ding Yi's eager anticipation, a black line really split the waves, emerged from the center of the lake, and reached the shore.
When most of its body floated out of the lake, Ding Yi found that the black line exposed on the water was just its dorsal fin. What swam in the lake was actually a black and white fish. There were four pale, fleshy shark claws under its belly that were also paddling like lizards. But what puzzled Ding Yi was that the front half of the fish was full of horrible scars of rolled skin and flesh, and it seemed that the scars were still fresh.
Could it be that there were also terrifying creatures at the bottom of the lake that could fight with the giant fish? Then was it the "Dragon God" mentioned by the Eagle Flute descendants?
Ding Yi was suspicious and uneasy, but he was temporarily relieved when the giant fish half crawled to the shore and began to eat cattle, sheep and livestock in big mouthfuls. He almost forced a price increase to buy a lot of cattle and sheep grazed in Wenbunan Village. There were dozens of strong sheep, which were piled up like small mountains. But the appetite of this giant fish was like a bottomless pit, swallowing up all the meat mountains.
This made Ding Yi wonder if the dragon god was satisfied with the sacrifice and offered gifts on his own initiative, as the descendants of the Eagle Flute said, was it actually because he ate too much of the sacrifice and vomited? After all, the descendants of the Eagle Flute said that 'the greatest Xiangxiong King will return from the belly of the dragon god in the underworld', which means that the corpse of the Xiangxiong King should be in the belly of the dragon fish. But a fish doesn't have any IQ, how could it take the initiative to give people things.
Many religious legends are exaggerated and mythologized. Ding Yi sneered at this and just hoped to make this stupid fish vomit as soon as possible. Ding Yi was indifferent to the fact that it swallowed up the desperate Sheng Zhengqing and others. If the dragon fish was not satisfied with the food in the end, he would not hesitate to throw Yue Chenghua down.
Yue Chenghua naturally knew about this. He hated Wei Xun very much, but now that Wei Xun was no longer around, he hated Ding Yi even more. Yue Chenghua tightly grasped the high-intensity flashlight, and was not so resistant to Wei Xun's orders, but instead felt a twisted pleasure in his heart. Once Ding Yi really did something to him, he would definitely make him look good!
Fortunately, after the dragon fish swallowed the last pile of beef and mutton, it really opened its huge mouth and began to spit out black water like retching. Ding Yi was very excited. He took a few steps forward despite the strong fishy smell, excited and expectant.
But his expectations were dashed! Because the dragon fish only vomited a few mouthfuls of black water, and didn't even see the shadow of the corpse, and actually retreated to the lake and prepared to leave!
Is this not the real dragon god, is it here to eat for free? !
"Where are you going!"
Ding Yi was so angry that he was fuming, his face was twisted, and the ghost face behind him left blood and tears. Countless poisonous water snakes swam into the lake, but the strange fish was not afraid of resentment attacks or snake bites. When Ding Yi, who controlled the ghost face, looked at the strange black and white demon Buddha statue on the strange fish, his eyes felt stinging.
That is definitely a good thing!
Ding Yi was unwilling to give up. He grabbed Yue Chenghua and rushed to the lake. Maybe the strange fish left because the sacrifice was not enough. He must leave it!
Otherwise, today's fight would be nothing but a joke. He's embarrassed himself!
"Director Ding, let me help you!"
Yue Chenghua, who was caught by Ding Yi, seemed to be unaware of his vicious thoughts. He rushed to the lake and turned on the strong flashlight. The bright white light shone directly on the strange fish.
"It only dares to appear in the dark. It is definitely afraid of light!"
"Idiot!"
Ding Yi slapped Yue Chenghua away in anger. Yes, he could also think that the strange fish was afraid of light. Wouldn't it run away quickly if there was strong light shining on it? Ding Yi was still not satisfied, so he kicked Yue Chenghua into the lake. The strong flashlight was waterproof and was still very bright underwater. Ding Yi quickly picked up the flashlight and was about to turn it off, but at this moment, a cold water vapor with a strong fishy smell suddenly hit him.
The dragon fish that had retreated turned around and came back! At this moment, it opened its mouth wide, right in front of Ding Yi. The dragon fish was extremely large. Its body was slightly flat after exposure to water, more like a lizard, but when it opened its mouth, it was a huge mouth of the abyss. Yue Chenghua, who fell into the water, was swallowed by it directly, like a piece of noodle.
A large amount of black water gushed out of the dragon fish's huge mouth, and at the same time, the air flow surged in its abdominal cavity, and it actually produced a crying sound like a baby crying.
"Woo wow-woo wow-"
This sound was shrill and sharp, and Ding Yi got goose bumps all over his back, but he was very excited. Could it be that Yue Chenghua was really afraid of light, and was frightened by the light and lost his mind, unable to distinguish the lake bottom and the shore, so he turned back?
Ding Yi used the same trick again, holding the flashlight and shining it into the dragon fish's huge mouth again, only to hear the crying sound becoming more and more shrill, and the dirty black water gushing out of the giant fish's mouth became more and more. In addition to the strong fishy smell, there was also an extremely unpleasant, dizzying rotten smell.
Ding Yi was also choked by the smoke, but he held on and didn't leave, because at the end of the strong light, at the throat of the dragon fish, he could see a dark, round object, which was floating outward due to the fierce flushing of the black water.
Could that be the skeleton of the Xiangxiong King? No, it seemed to be just a head?
Ding Yi tried his best to see if there was a body behind the round object. He walked a few steps closer, and the lake water had already covered his thighs. He also saw clearly that the dark, round object was a black skull. It was just that it was faintly shining with emerald light, as if it was inlaid with jade, and the emerald color was so rich that it illuminated the black water in the fish's mouth.
Ding Yi was very close to the dragon fish at this time, and he could almost touch its lips with his hand. As long as the skull floated closer, he could reach out and take it out.
"A-choo!"
At this moment, Ding Yi suddenly sneezed, and his face was numb and itchy. He was too focused just now and didn't care. Now he suddenly felt that the numbness and itchiness were unbearable. He couldn't help but raise his hand to touch it, but found that his face had swollen without knowing when, and the skin and flesh seemed to be full of thick liquid, itching terribly.
Ding Yi felt something was wrong and subconsciously began to step back, but he couldn't control the strength of his hand and rubbed it a little harder.
"Ah——!!!"
Ding Yi actually peeled off his face skin!
