V1.Chapter 24

Try to gather more subordinates. It was originally a plan negotiated by Zhen Jin and Zidi.

So at the beginning, Zidi urged Zhen Jin to save Huang Zao.

But Huang Zao hid the existence of silver Warcraft, and at the same time, he also escaped, and repeatedly let accidents appear.

But now it seems that the final result is more gratifying.

Yellow algae and cyanobacteria have become slaves of needle gold.

Originally, it was just to attract them, but they still have freedom. Now that you are a slave, you lose your freedom.

These two brothers are all bronze level. The value of this kind of strength slave is still quite high.

Of course, there is no reliable binding means for the two of them, such as the slave contract.

Needle gold can't expect so much in the current environment.

Huangzao and cyanobacteria took refuge in Zhijin as slaves. With their own influence, others naturally chose to attach to Zhijin.

As a result, Zhen Jin successfully got the actual control of the exploration team.

Huangzao and cyanobacteria are the elite of bronze level. Huangzao is good at using halberds, and cyanobacteria is a good hand at machetes. These two are the strongest.

Among the rest, there were two archers and a crossbow man. There are 13 remaining knife and axe men, gunmen and shield men.

Plus Cang Xu, an old scholar with no iron in his hands, there are a total of 19 people (excluding needle gold and Zidi).

According to Cang Xu, when he first set out, the whole exploration team had nearly 40 people, and the team was very large.

But here, the exploration team has been reduced by half.

These people have poor armor.

Huang Zao and cyanobacteria wore leather armor, while the others were all dressed in linen.

The survival resources were not tight, and the team carried sufficient food and fresh water.

All these information was learned by Zhen Jin from cangxu.

"Since this mountain spring is drinkable, next, please appoint some people to collect more fresh water for us. Half of the oil can be discarded."

Zhen Jin gave the first order.

"Yes, my Lord." Cang Xu took orders and respectfully withdrew from the tent.

This tent was brought by the exploration team. It was built by the brothers Huangzao and cyanobacteria. Zhijin can have a good nap here.

As soon as Cang Xu left the tent, Zidi opened the curtain and came in.

"Your Excellency, our old scholar is not simple." Zidi said.

When Zhen Jin summoned cangxu alone, Zidi made preliminary contact with each member. From others' mouths, Zidi probably restored the whole truth.

"Is it the analysis of cangxu that makes yellow algae and cyanobacteria realize that there is a lot of trouble?" After listening to Zidi's report, Zhen Jin smiled, "it seems that the booty we collected from the Eight Legged spider has also severely shocked these people."

"Don't overestimate or underestimate people." Zhen Jin sighed heartily.

The result of this matter was very good, but the whole process prompted Zhen Jin to constantly reflect on himself.

He overestimated Huang Zao's temperament and did not realize the possibility of concealing information. It is wishful thinking that Huangzao will be used by it under the grace of saving lives.

But it turned out that Huang Zao ran away and gave up two life-saving benefactors, Zhen Jin and Zi di.

Later, under great pressure, the brothers Huang Zao and cyanobacteria took refuge in themselves and sold themselves into slavery.

Is it because they both sincerely repent?

Maybe a little.

But more should be forced by the strong strength of needle gold and ziti, as well as the deep background.

What about the others?

They are happy to be led by Zhijin.

Why?

Needle gold is the strong. In such a dangerous environment, it is one of the best survival strategies for the weak to rely on the strong, isn't it?

The identity of the temple Knight of Zhijin and his deeds of rescuing Huang Zao make people believe that although the leader is young, his morality is worthy of their trust.

Among them, the most eye-catching is the old scholar Cang Xu.

He has served noble families for more than 30 years, when he learned the wisdom of noble survival and game.

He was unarmed and had no combat power, but he was respected by the whole exploration team. Huangzao and cyanobacteria are almost obedient to cangxu's words.

When Cang Xu got the information from Huangzao, he immediately became acutely aware of the identities of Zhen Jin and Zi di.

Led by him, the whole exploration team immediately went back and finally took the initiative to join needle gold.

Huang Zao and cyanobacteria became the gifts for him to visit needle gold. It happened that the two brothers, even if they were sold into slavery, should also be grateful to Cang.

What he said to Zhijin was ostensibly a good word for the two brothers, but it was actually a deal.

Cang Xu took the initiative to take refuge in Zhen Jin, so that the latter successfully accepted these subordinates and had two bronze slaves. And needle gold also gives full return. In the new team, Cang Xu became the third person after Zhen Jin and Zi di.

The first order given by Zhen Jin was to make him the leader and lead a group of people to collect fresh water.

This is the young man's response to Cang Xu's active refuge.

He kept alert to cangxu and appreciated it at the same time.

He knows that he needs such talents around him. Although Cang Xu is just a scholar, ordinary farmers can put him down. But he has knowledge and wisdom that ordinary people can't reach, and knowledge and wisdom are also an invisible force.

"My memory is incomplete and I can't use fighting spirit. It needs to be kept confidential for the time being." Needle gold takes care of Zidi again.

Zidi nodded repeatedly, her face slightly solemn: "I understand, sir."

Needle King Kong just took control of this exploration team, but there are still hidden dangers.

If these subordinates find that Zhen Jin can't use fighting spirit, will it cause some bad ideas?

Unable to use fighting spirit, the gap between different levels is not so large by virtue of physical quality alone.

Just as the family motto of the hundred needle family said: people should not be overestimated or underestimated.

For this sentence, needle gold is now deeply experienced!

Although he became the leader of the exploration team, his control over the whole team is still weak.

It is impossible to enforce orders and prohibitions to this extent.

"Arrange it, call the members of the exploration team in turn, and I'll talk to them alone in the tent." Zhen Jin finally told Zi di.

Therefore, when Cang Xu led several people to collect fresh water and returned to the tent to report, he was stopped by yellow algae and cyanobacteria guarding outside.

"Lord Zhen Jin is talking to Bai Ya."

Cang Xu was slightly stunned. He knew that Bai Ya, a young man with a bright smile, was the son of hunter and was not prominent in the exploration team.

"Did Bai Ya make any mistake?" Cang Xu asked.

"No, the whole exploration team has to go into the tent alone and be questioned by Lord Zhen Jin." Cyanobacteria replied.

Cang Xu couldn't help but be very interested: "what did adults ask them?"

Huang Zao shrugged: "it's nothing more than some personal origin, family status, personal expertise, and information about maritime disasters and islands."

At this time, the curtain of the door was lifted, and Bai Ya, a member of the exploration team, came out, looking excited.

"Ah, it's Mr. scholar." Bai Ya said hello first.

"Look at your appearance, is it that you are treated differently by Lord Zhen Jin?" Cang Xu nodded with a smile.

Bai Ya grinned and said, "of course not. In fact, Lord Zhijin promised everyone that as long as he performed well next, he might be able to follow him and join Baisha city in the future! The worst thing is to become a guard of Baisha city."

"Isn't this what you want? Your boy should behave well." Cang Xu patted Bai Ya on the shoulder.

Bai Ya nodded repeatedly, energetic and said, "I will work hard!"

After receiving the information from cyanobacteria, Cang Xu entered the tent again and saw needle gold.

"Sir, according to your order, we abandoned half of the kerosene and used the original oil bag to reserve fresh water." Cang Xu reported respectfully.

"Well done, go down and have a rest first. After lunch, there will be a meeting to discuss the next trip, and you are ready."

"Yes, my Lord." Cang must bow out of the tent.

He stood by the tent and looked for a while.

The members who had followed him to reserve fresh water were also summoned by Zhen Jinyi.

Everyone didn't stay in the tent for a long time, but when they came out, their faces changed significantly from those before entering. Even the eyes of people who usually don't smile seemed to be smeared with oil.

Cang Xu took a deep look at the tent, smiled, and whispered to himself, "that's fine."

Not all the strong have the ability to lead.

In Cang Xu's view: needle gold is very young. It is rare for such young people to have at least silver level accomplishments. I'm afraid most of the time is spent on self-cultivation. This involves energy, and learning and mastering in other aspects are naturally weak.

But now it seems that Zhijin is at least qualified in serving as a leader.

This boy is not the leader of Baisha City, so he can promise out of thin air to outline a bright future for these members of the exploration team to follow him.

People's hearts are gradually being closed by needle gold, the morale of the team is also improving, and needle gold's control over the whole exploration team is rapidly deepening.
