Future Crystal Crown

Two hours later, the fleet arrived near Sagittarius.

The flagship and frigate are stationed in space, and the scout ship, survey ship and micro-fighter are ready to go.

Qiu, Ramon and Tang Xiuluo were sent directly to the ground.And the drunk horse was also sober, and was standing beside them unhappy.

"Have you been here before?" Lied went to tease Qi Jun again.

"Hmph, this is my family's territory, of course I've been here before." Qi Jun snorted, "Who the hell is drunk in the wine, don't think I can't find out."

Ramon rolled his eyes, turned his face to Qiu, and suddenly raised his voice and said to Qiu: "If you don't like him, just tell him, just let him take a bath, and you have said that drunk horse grass can't be used casually, but you still use it? If he gets drunk and can't wake up, it will affect our work."

"Huh?" Qiu looked at Ramon in disbelief.

"Cupid, is that you?" The centaur had surprisingly good ears and moved very fast, bent down and grabbed Qiu's front with one hand and lifted him into the air. "How dare you think I'm funny? You treat me like this when I treat you like a friend. You can't beat me to death today."

"Let him go." A voice sounded coldly from the side, accompanied by the crisp discharge of the cold light gun.

The men and horses trembled and threw Qiu away.

Qiu looked back, it was Tang Xiuluo.

Animals are afraid of the light waves emitted by cold light guns, and humans and horses are no exception.So Tang Xiuluo and his companions equipped themselves with an extra cold light gun for self-defense.I didn't expect it to come in handy before landing on the spaceship.

"If you dare to touch me, I will sue you for intentionally hurting others." Renma pointed at Tang Xiuluo.

Tang Xiuluo looked at it coldly like a hell Shura.

"Hey, you can't sue him for hurting people. He intended to hurt people. You should sue him for animal cruelty, so that the compensation can be higher." Morgan deliberately added fuel to the fire, making everyone go crazy again.

Everyone quickly persuaded them, and finally stopped the people, and the airship also landed on the ground.

The team assembled in the open field.

Lieutenant Colonel Bentley and Lieutenant Colonel Dell stood at the forefront of the team like two iron towers.Everyone found their place and stood up.

Lieutenant Colonel Del looked at the crowd with sharp eyes like a knife.

"The first rule of battle, never admit defeat. As long as you don't lose your breath, continue to persevere. The less hope you see, the more you must take the initiative to create hope."

His voice echoed all around, and everyone clenched their weapons tightly.

"The second rule of battle is to focus on results. All we want are results, and no one cares whether your process is perfect. Always remember your goals and don't waste any time on things that have nothing to do with the goals."

His gaze swept over everyone, and everyone felt the pores of their bodies burning.

"Remember your belief and honor, let's go!" Del gave an order, and everyone took action.

The reconnaissance plane shuttled in the air, the helicopter navigated, and the second group led by Del went straight into the depths of the jungle.

According to the previously set route map, they will cooperate with the helicopter to arrange ten observation instruments and take ten forest and soil samples in ten places before dark.

Lieutenant Colonel Del was at the front, Qi Jun followed behind him, then Qiu, then Tang Xiuluo and the other three glasses men.Ramon, Morgan, and Lied were behind them, accompanied and backed by a Special Forces detachment.

All orders of action are conveyed in coded or sign language.

The first three jungles are very relaxing. The sun is above the head, shining through the treetops to the ground. There are large gaps between the forests. The helicopter above the head makes people feel at ease.

But by the fourth five, things started to get complicated on the ground.

The terrain is low-lying and very muddy underfoot.Moss has also grown, and it feels wet everywhere.As I walked, there was a shallow river flowing by my feet from time to time.

"I said Qijun, why haven't you seen your aunt? Is there anyone in this forest?" It was the annoying Lied who spoke.

"Don't worry, I'll let you kowtow when I see you later." Qijun shook the mud on his hoof in disgust.

He is an aristocrat among the modern centaurs, and he has always lived in the Sagittarius with good conditions. He has never encountered such a muddy and remote centaur forest.

"Could it be that they hid immediately when they heard that the rent collectors were coming?" This time it was Tang Xiuluo's subordinate, a man with super thick bottle-bottomed glasses. "The landlords should not exploit people too much, otherwise the peasants will easily revolt."

As soon as he finished speaking, his foot slipped with a "snap", and the guy with glasses fell hard on the moss.

"Look, let you talk nonsense, let's fall." Qi Jun touched his girdle with both hands, with a proud face of Huang Shiren.

"Are you okay? Get up quickly." Tang Xiuluo wanted to pull him.He put on a gesture of refusal.

"Don't move, don't move, be careful with my glasses." The glasses brother who was lying on the ground didn't care about other things, he reached out and fumbled all over the ground with his limbs on the ground.It wasn't until he touched his glasses and put them on tremblingly that he breathed a sigh of relief.I stood up and saw that there was a lot of mud on my body, hands and face.

The scientist wiped his face with his sleeve.He put his hand under his nose and smelled it.

"What's the smell? It's fishy, ​​you smell it?" The man with glasses put his hands under the noses of others for everyone to smell.

Everyone could smell that smell.Some say it's like a peptide mixture, some say it's like seaweed rot.Qiu also sniffed it, feeling like a flesh-eating fungus.

"Huh? No, why is it so hot? The soil here is corrosive!" the glasses brother yelled.

"Rinse the water quickly." A special soldier came to help him clean his naked skin.

Qiu hurriedly inserted the detector in his hand to the place where the man fell.The instrument immediately showed that the acidity here was very high, and there were a large number of digestive bacteria in the water.

"This kind of acidity shouldn't allow plants to survive, right?" Tang Xiuluo stretched out his head to take a look, and was also surprised. "The information we got before is not like this."

"Maybe it's this acidity that stimulates the plants, and the forest expands rapidly?" Qiu tried to speculate.

"Could it be a plant?" Another man with eyes said, patting the tree trunk.

"Hey, let me tell you to be busy. This is neither a plant nor an animal, but a freak, a monster with four hooves in mythology." Morgan said seriously.

The people walking five meters away moved their ears and turned around. "Who are you talking about?"

Although the IQ of a centaur is worse than that of a human, it does not mean that its ears are deaf.

"Shh! Shut up!" Lieutenant Colonel Del, who was walking in the front, gestured to everyone.

Everyone quickly shut up.

Following the direction of Del's finger, everyone looked carefully.

In the woods not far away, it seems that someone is hiding behind a tree.

Qijun sniffed against the wind, and then walked over with a "clack-clack-clack" of his hooves.Before he got close, two shadows of horses suddenly ran out from behind the tree over there, and jumped to the side as if startled.

"What are you running, let me stand up for you, young master." Qi Jun flew over, hissing and yelling while catching up with one, and punched him, the thin and small horse immediately fell to the ground.

The other one saw his companion being beaten and ran away in shock, seeing Qi Jun approaching him, he peed in fright on the spot.

Qijun swore at him and rushed over and punched him in the face. Similarly, this one was overturned to the ground like a log.

The crowd rushed over and surrounded the two horses.

Under the dark muzzle, the two men trembled.

"Hmph, you've been following us for a long time, and you still think I didn't find out?" Del put away his gun proudly.

Only then did everyone see clearly that compared with Qijun, these two men were like the gap between a beggar and an emperor.

They were emaciated, skinless and hairless, and covered with a lot of moss and mud for camouflage.

The two horses are not very old, they should be equivalent to human girls in their twenties, and they are both females. One of them is pregnant and her stomach is already quite big.

Looking at them, everyone felt that something was wrong.

They were much more embarrassed than imagined, especially those big eyes that always showed a look of panic. Even though they were surrounded by humans, they kept looking around, as if they were frightened by something.

"You come to ask, why are they here, where are the others, and what is unusual about the forest recently?" Del said to Qijun.

The Qijun hissed a few times in their language.The two mares dodged and did not answer at first, then they were forced again and again, then lowered their heads and answered mournfully, talking intermittently for a long time.

As they neighed, Qijun's complexion became worse and worse.

"What did they say?" Qiu asked Qijun.

"They said that there were monsters in the forest. They were driven out. The herd of horses disbanded and everyone fled in all directions. No one dared to go to the middle of the forest anymore. Now they have a home and cannot return." Qi Jun.

"What kind of monster?" Yau asked.

Qijun communicated with the horses again, and finally shook his head at Qiu. "I haven't seen them, but I heard they are very scary. The stallions in the herd went into the forest and never came back. Those who escaped by chance said they were all killed. They are both widows now."

"Many humans and horses have gone missing on this planet recently, do they know why?" Yau asked.

Qi Jun asked them, and the two female horses shook their heads.

After talking for a while, Qi Jun told everyone. "They didn't violate humans. About three days ago, they saw five local men walking into the woods with five domestic horses. Those men and horses haven't come out yet."

Everyone's hearts sank. The latest missing persons report was five people and five horses, three days ago.

"And did they see who was leading them?" Yau asked one of the pregnant mares.The horse didn't speak, but the other horse next to it jumped half a step away as if it was frightened.

"Is it a monkey?" Tang Xiuluo asked.

The two horses looked at Tang Xiuluo in horror, as if their souls were trembling, and finally they nodded in horror.
