Age of Rise of the Elves

"Yo...lu!"

The noisy crying instantly attracted the attention of all the mosquito-repellent incense clan.

Ji Bai was a little confused.

As soon as he mentioned the mysterious disappearance of members of the mosquito-repellent tribe, the mosquito-repellent tadpole suddenly burst into tears.

Feeling the gazes of dozens of pairs of frog eyes, Ji Bai's scalp suddenly went numb, and he quickly gave Pokjigu a look that said he was coming to save him.

Bokejigu did not disappoint Ji Bai. He sang and comforted him, and finally calmed the tadpole.

After the crying stopped, Ji Bai didn't dare to speak anymore, leaving all the questions to Pokkigu for questioning while he listened on the sidelines.

The mosquito-repellent tadpole told its story with a tearful voice. It turned out that its best friend in the group had mysteriously disappeared not long ago.

"It turns out we met the victim's relatives, no wonder..." Ji Bai apologized, squatting down and touching the tadpole's bald head comfortingly.

The story of mosquito-repellent tadpoles continues:

That night, due to sudden hunger, two mosquito-repellent tadpoles met to go to the aquatic plant area to collect some aquatic plants and come back to eat.

After they arrived at the aquatic plant area, they collected them separately in order to speed up the collection. However, after a long time, the mosquito tadpole never saw its friend come back, so it looked around for a while, but never found any trace of its friend.

At this time, the mosquito-repellent tadpole recalled the mysterious disappearance of the tribe members some time ago, and was so frightened that it hurried home to ask for help, but it was too late, its friends had disappeared without a trace...

Aquatic area!

Ji Bai silently noted this location.

Soon, the spiny shells and stink bugs also came back to report.

The information they heard from other mosquito-repellent tadpoles was also very similar. The missing mosquito-repellent tadpoles all mysteriously disappeared while acting alone at night.

After Ji Bai wrote down the key points, he went to Liu Zhenning and asked, "Uncle Liu, do you know where the mosquito-repellent people usually go to find food at night?"

"Food?! Are you talking about the aquatic plant area? Most of the elves living in the lake eat aquatic plants, and the aquatic plant area is in the middle of the lake, which is also a public place for all elves."

“Middle of the lake!!!”

Hearing this, Ji Bai basically ruled out the possibility of poachers.

The central area of ​​the lake is at least a thousand meters away from the shore. No poacher would risk increasing exposure here to catch a mosquito tadpole.

"Then there is only one possibility..." Ji Bai stood on the bow of the boat and looked at the beautiful lake, shuddering in his heart.

"There must be a ferocious "monster" hidden inside."

"Spiny Shell, please go down! Check out the situation in the aquatic plant area and see if there are any hidden elves besides the normal elves."

"Kala!"

The spiny shell clam responded, and then jumped into the lake with a "plop".

"How was it? Did you gain anything?!" Liu Zhenning asked expectantly.

Ji Bai nodded and said calmly: "I do have some new ideas. Now let's go to the next victim group to see."

Liu Zhenning nodded and set off immediately...

In one afternoon, Ji Bai visited seven or eight victimized elven groups.

According to the information obtained, several new labels have been added to the suspect: "Bullying the weak and fearing the strong?!", "Stealth maniac", "Old and cunning", "Killing sperm without seeing blood"

Among the newly added tags, there is a question mark on "bullying the weak and fearing the strong". The reason is that Ji Bai learned that all the disappearing elves were small and unevolved elementary elves.

This represents two possibilities. One is that the elf itself is not strong and can only hunt these weaker elves.

Another possibility is that the "murderer" was afraid of making a big noise when hunting larger elves, so he deliberately bullied the smaller ones.

Judging from the fact that the other party left no trace at all, Ji Bai felt that the latter possibility was more likely.

This also means it will be harder to find and catch it.

The spiny shell has returned. It has used ultrasonic detection to check the entire aquatic plant area many times, but has not found any hidden elves.

Although Ji Bai was a little disappointed, it was expected. If it were so easy to find him, he might have discovered the opponent long ago when the alliance sent elves to search the bottom of the lake.

Early the next morning, Ji Bai came to Yongning Lake again and began to officially search for the whereabouts of the murderer.

It's a pity that after a whole day, I got nothing.

It was still the same on the third and fourth days.

Every day I come here with joy and return with disillusionment.

Soon, the time stipulated in the task was already over half.Ji Bai only has five days left.

Bad news kept coming. As soon as he arrived here today, Ji Bai saw Liu Zhenning's dark face. When he asked, he found out that another elf had gone missing last night.

It is a lotus leaf boy.

Throughout the morning, Ji Bai sat on the shore of the lake in a daze.

How did the other party hide it? !Ji Bai thought about this question for a long time.

If you don't expect it, you may not be able to find the other party just based on the aimless search in the first two days, let alone five days, or even five months.

Without any thought, Ji Bai angrily picked up a stone and threw it into the water.

At this time, Ji Bai saw several frightened small fish desperately getting into the mud of the lake.

Ji Bai suddenly had a bold guess in his mind.

"Let's go borrow a boat!"

...

Ji Bai came to the territory of the mosquito-repellent incense clan and found a mosquito-repellent tadpole to cooperate with the experiment.

First, let it drill into the mud of a lake as deep as possible, and then let the spiny shell start searching for traces of mosquito-repellent tadpoles.

Surprisingly, when the ultrasonic detection was turned on, the spiny shell clam finally managed to find the hiding place of the mosquito-repellent tadpole with great effort.

"I didn't expect this silt to be able to effectively block the detection of superpowers and ultrasonic waves," Ji Bai said in surprise.

"Hurry up and search the mud at the bottom of the aquatic plant area. The deeper you can dig, the better. If you find anything, bring it to me right away!"

"Kala!"

...

Just a few minutes later, the spiny clam burst out of the water against a cloud of dark mud.

"There is a harvest!"

Ji Bai clenched his fists and said excitedly.

When the spiny shell returned to the boat, it shook all the mud from the shell onto the deck.

Ji Bai put on a pair of gloves, picked up a lump of mud and brought it to his eyes to observe carefully.

Sure enough, I found some special marks on it. It was a transparent liquid that felt very sticky when I touched it with my hands.

"A bit like the mucus on fish"

Ji Bai put his nose up to smell it again, and a strong fishy smell assaulted his nostrils.

"The smell of mucus on ordinary fish can never be so strong!"

“Is there a lot of slime like spiny shellfish in the mud in the aquatic plant area?”

The spiny shell immediately gave an affirmative answer.

Ji Bai thought for a moment, and finally the appearance of an elf flashed in his mind.

“Finally I’ve caught you!!!”
