Elf Dark Insect Master

"We can't separate anymore, otherwise I suspect there will be a fork in the road if we walk a little further."

Standing in front of this fork in the road again, Yang Ying had already noticed something was wrong. This place was a naturally formed cave dug by wild elves, but now they didn't see wild elves at all.

At this time, the number of their group was less than ten.

Minister Sun Shadow, Wutong, Sato, Kevin and two bodyguards, there are already six people, and then there is also a B-level Golden City distribution member, an elite trainer from the Cape, and another He is also a B-class transcendent and a member of the Kaina City branch on Ziyun's side.

Now there are only these nine people left, and there is really no way to divide them. At this time, Wutong also feels that there is no need to be too low-key.

Along the way, he actually discovered a lot of things.

Wutong took the initiative and said, "You can look at the soil, twist it, and feel the quality of the soil and water."

As he said this, he did it himself first, pinching a piece of dirt on the ground with his fingers, then pinching a handful on the wall, and finely kneading the dirt into powder with his fingertips.

Some people didn't understand, but Minister Yang Ying did as he was told.

In the process of doing this action, the minister carefully felt the difference in the soil. He didn't understand it at first, but suddenly there was a flash of lightning in his mind, and he suddenly figured it out.

Yang Ying's eyes lit up and he blurted out in surprise: "It's very loose, not strong!"

If Wutong gave the first hint before, then Yang Ying's words now are the second hint.

Some smart people were already vaguely trying to catch something, but Wutong didn't want to waste time and tell too many lies. He directly stated his guess, or judgment, and explained: "After the excavated passage is ventilated, The texture of the soil is completely different from that of newly dug passages, and mountain men who often climb mountains can clearly distinguish these differences."

Wutong did not say whether he was a mountain man, but only talked about his discovery of this detail.

Yang Ying immediately answered and said: "You mean these forked roads were not opened by wild elves, but were forked roads caused by anomalies in this place. We were actually separated intentionally. Is that what you mean? ?”

Without admitting or denying, Wutong just continued: "It's not those pirates, at least as far as the capabilities of those pirates are concerned, they are far from enough to lay out a trap of this level and let us step in unknowingly. Now we are still It’s two choices.”

"There may be great danger ahead, so keep moving forward."

"Risk the severe punishment of mission failure and simply quit."

At this moment, the cave suddenly shook, which was a wave coming from a distant earthquake source.

The faces of several people changed, and they quickly wanted to communicate with others and ask them what the situation was over there.

But all that came over the radio now was silence, no answer.

"Did something happen to them all?"

"Impossible, this thing must be malfunctioning."

"But it's not like everyone's devices will malfunction at the same time. I guess it's more likely that the electronic signals are blocked."

Maybe it's because there are fewer people and people dare to speak. Although there are only nine people here, they are close to the truth of the matter in a few words.

Wutong comforted everyone at this time and said: "No matter what danger there is, since they are going to use this method to separate us, it can be considered a head-on confrontation with a high probability. He may not be the opponent of many of us united. Since that is the case If so, I suggest meeting the others now."

Some of the members of this team looked happy. At this time, they were more or less panicked. Even if they were confronting the mythical beast head-on, the opponent they could see and touch would not make them panic like now. It felt as if there was some monster outside the darkness, spying on them in the dark.

Yang Ying thought for a while and then said: "But this may also fall into a thinking trap. Since we didn't block the signal before, but we did it at this time, could we have laid a trap on our way back? In this case If so, I think it might be a better idea to move forward quickly at this time and see what the source is."

After listening to the two people's opinions, others felt that each had a point.

Wutong actually agreed with the other party's words and said decisively: "Then let's do it this way, let's move forward quickly."

After desperately continuing to explore deeper, just as they expected, there was a fork in the road every few hundred meters.

In order to avoid getting lost, they used the method of measuring the level to ensure that they were going down continuously. As long as this was the case, it meant that they were not getting lost in a loop.

Another way to find your way is to observe the number of crystal fragments on the wall. If they become more and more dense, you are heading in the right direction. On the contrary, if the number of them decreases after walking for a while, it is possible that they are going in the wrong direction.

After about 20 long minutes, they finally encountered a different scenery.

A bunch of humans, a bunch of pirates.

These pirates were running away while fighting the things that were chasing them.

When Wutong and the others saw clearly what was chasing them, their expressions changed dramatically.

The ones chasing this group of pirates are not monsters, but just like the crystal fragments growing out of the cracks in the rocks. The pursuers are also elves, but the crystal fragments are growing out of the cracks in their bodies. It's like being parasitized.

"Save us."

"Don't attack us, these monsters are the scariest."

"Come on, help us all join forces to fight these monsters."

There were four pirates running towards Wutong with faces filled with surprise. At the same time, there were three elves following them to escape. It was their constant release of skills to block the pursuers that allowed them to persist until now.

When they first saw these people and the things chasing them, Wutong and others were very shocked, because they didn't expect that the seemingly harmless crystal fragments could control elves.

No wonder the cat boss can no longer be subdued by the elf ball. It turns out that his "owner" has been secretly changed a long time ago.

"Watch the tops of their heads."

Someone on Wutong side shouted, but everyone saw it.

There is a crystal snail on the head of the elves who are chasing over. They are worn on the heads of these elves like hats, but it is more like the lower body is rooted on the heads of these elves.

"Duck-billed Fire Dragon, use Flame Vortex."

Some people who reacted quickly thought of the scene of flames burning these crystals, and immediately released a duck-billed fire dragon, trying to burn these elves and the crystal snails on their heads.

"Wait a minute, we're using ice-attributed elves, don't attack with fire-attributed skills!"

But Yang Ying reacted quickly and immediately stopped the man, and at the same time he released a Miss Lip.

Sister Mizui is a humanoid elf with superpowers and ice attributes. She looks like a short, fat human woman with heavy makeup. However, whether she has sausage lips, a chubby figure, or a real human being, her facial features are quite different. She can still People can recognize at a glance that it is not a human, but an elf.

After Sister Mizui appeared, the temperature of the surrounding caves suddenly dropped as she raised her hands. The ice wall blocked the passage between the chasing elves and pirates as soon as she breathed.

"Evacuate to a safe place first."

Haitong looked at these pirates, thinking that they were still useful, and did not chase them away. Instead, he immediately asked everyone to find a safe place to learn about the situation ahead from the four pirates before making the next step.

Since Yang Ying's attitude towards Wutong is quite unusual, these people are not stupid and can see it, so Wutong spoke up at this time. Others heard that there was nothing wrong with this opinion, so they all said nothing and agreed by default. .

Some people released ice-attribute elves or elves that could release weapon skills, and asked them to work with Sister Mizui to reinforce the ice wall in the passage, and at the same time quickly retreat to the way they came.

In the first few seconds, you can still see the figures of the elves on the opposite side, constantly hitting the ice.

But as the ice wall continued to thicken, their shadows were gradually no longer visible, only the sound of constant collisions.

"Oops, they should be using their skills."

"So fast? They were still very clumsy at first, because we discovered these anomalies this year in advance. I think they were not completely under control at that time, but I didn't expect that they can use skills now."

"The four of you, hurry up and tell us what happened. Don't dwell on the key points."

There is no other way for these four pirates. If those elves can even use their skills, without these people protecting them, they may not be able to get out alive.

And although the pirates are not very bright, they know one thing very well, that is, other pirates who have betrayed must be eradicated during the struggle.

Therefore, these four pirates are even more worried. Even if they can barely escape, they may be killed by the deep-sea hunter group who betrayed them.

"Say it now! Speak it right away! You are very eloquent, come on."

"Okay... At the beginning, the leaders of our pirate groups decided not to ambush you, but to quickly go deep into the depths of the cave, find the treasure first and leave. We don't want to conflict with you. In order to hurry up, we will find out again Those crystal snails only attacked our elves, but they did not attack us humans, and they seemed to have no offensive power. They just melted into our elves' bodies, just like water. We also found out at the beginning that we had not evolved. The elves suddenly evolved, thinking that this was the mysterious power of evolution, so we hurriedly accelerated towards the depths, and then when we finally saw the source, our elves who had been integrated into the body by the crystal snail, Crystal fragments grew from the gaps in the body, and crystal snails appeared above the head. At this time, they betrayed us and attacked us together."

This man who was pushed out by the other three pirates was indeed very eloquent. He spoke very quickly and clearly. He probably described the situation quickly and accurately.

Yang Ying grasped the key point and continued to ask, "What's the source? Have you taken away the treasure?"

The pirate who was pushed out to explain quickly shook his head and quickly replied: "No, at least I didn't see it when I went in. I only saw a big cave, and the walls and ceiling of the entire cave were all made of crystal fragments, but the ground The crystal is smooth, like a glass plate."

He seemed to have thought of something, and quickly added: "By the way, those crystal snails came out of that cave. We saw a strange thing that we don't know if it was an elf. It looked like a big lump of crystal. It grows in the center of that cave, and the crystal snail comes out of its body."

After listening to these two paragraphs, everyone here in Wutong could imagine the scene and consciously understood what the so-called evolutionary energy was.

But at this moment, one of the pirates shouted: "Yes, yes, there is one more thing you forgot to mention. Before our elves betrayed us, one of the female pirates who came with us was The ones who escaped the fastest took some of our companions with them, and I think their two leaders might know something."

This supplementary value information is of little value for the time being. Yangying and Wutong looked at each other and quickly used their brain power.

The same goes for several other members, and they realized that this place used to be filled with ferocious beasts with fangs and hunters who laid traps. If they thought those crystal snails were really not dangerous, they would now face being killed by their own elves. The situation of attack is reversed.

Kevin said a little anxiously: "We have to make a decision quickly, they are catching up again."

Yang Ying listened carefully with his ears, and indeed heard the sound of rapid footsteps, approaching. He immediately ordered his men and his sister Mi Lun, and quickly said: "You first continue to make the ice wall, test your proficiency and observe the road conditions. When we were there, we passed through many forks in the road. If we got lost, we would just be trapped here and die. We made the ice wall and exited first."

Yang Ying did not mention rescuing others, because in this situation where the situation was determined to be dangerous, his priority was his own safety rather than sacrificing his life to save others.

But the people from the other two forces did not agree.

The elite trainer from Haijiu immediately said: "I disagree. Although those controlled elves may not be afraid of death, they are not strong. What's more, as long as we join the people on the other side, with our fighting power , they will definitely not be as embarrassed as these pirates."

And the B-level transcendent from the Kaina City branch was also worried that if he had not left with the minister's daughter, and if he had been tricked by the minister Ziyun afterwards, his life would have been very difficult, so he agreed at this time. Overcoming the objections of another person, he said: "What's more, we still have two powerful gym owners from Green Ridge City here, so we don't have to be too afraid of those crystal snails and controlled elves."
