The Colonel choked, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.

"This is your own decision, I will report to the above, Wang Tingjun does not bear any responsibility. ”

"No problem. ”

Li Yue put away the seal, turned his head and said, "Yuan Kaige, it's more dangerous inside, you better stay in the camp first." ”

"Okay, be careful, I'm waiting here. Yuan Kaige hurriedly said, he came over this time, he originally planned to reward the mission, and the danger of the C-level paradise, which he could deal with.

After sorting out the equipment, Li Yue was about to lead the team to set off, but the colonel's voice came from behind.

"To give you a heartfelt warning, once you encounter the commander level, you will immediately disperse, and there may be a glimmer of life. ”

"Thank you, brother. ”

Li Yue waved his hand and led the team to the black forest.

The colonel breathed heavily, and slammed the kettle in his hand to the ground, "Cause trouble to Lao Tzu!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked directly, passed through the portal in the center of the camp, and came to the outside world.

I dialed the channel to contact my superiors and told me what had just happened.

"What's that person's name, and who's his immediate superior?"

Colonel: "Report to the chief, his name is Li Yue, he is directly subordinate to his superior, and he seems to be the new head of the Investigation Department." ”

"Li Yue, that Li Yue from the Investigation Department?"

Colonel: "Yes. ”

"Oh, that's fine, let him go. ”

"Chief's ......"

Honk... Honk... Honk......

Listening to the busy sound from the transmitter, the colonel's face froze, and he simply didn't care, since the chief said so, when something happened, there would be people who endorsed it, and it was none of his business.

After briefly confirming the exact arrival time of the reinforcements, the Colonel returned to the Paradise camp.

"Colonel, they have entered the Black Forest, do you want to send someone to follow them?"

After hesitating for a moment, the colonel shook his head and said, "No need. ”

......

"Li Yue, are there many special type of commander-level demons?"

Surrounded by gloomy dead trees, Gu Tianshan couldn't help but feel a little chill in his heart and asked.

"As far as the number of discoveries is concerned, there are no more than ten. Li Yue replied that since entering the Black Forest, his attention has been on the ground, looking for some clues.

"Is it difficult to deal with?"

"There is no good stubble, but the probability of appearing is very small, and the possibility of complete body is the majority. ”

Li Yue said in a low voice, turning around and raising his chin at Xu Xiaohua.

Xu Xiaohua immediately understood, took off his sunglasses, and around his scarlet eyes, a piece of green tendon protruded, and a large field of vision was in full view.

After training, his current ability is good enough to see through two kilometers away.

Soon, Xu Xiaohua retracted his vision, closed his eyes and eased for a while, and said: "At three o'clock, at 1,500 meters, there is a demon lair, and the number of complete bodies is more than five, and from nine o'clock to eleven o'clock, there are many scattered demons, and there are a lot of them, and no trace of the commander level has been found." ”

"Let's go. ”

Li Yue pulled out the ice and snow mound on his waist, "These guys in front, everyone use them to warm up, but remember to cut off the recognizable objects on the demons, and when the time comes, Wang Tingjun will clean them up, which can be used to calculate our personal points." ”

According to Xu Xiaohua's description, there are no less than ten complete body demons in this area.

Everyone was a little excited, and they took out their weapons, divided into two teams, and began to hunt demons.

In the face of a complete body, as long as it is not attacked by a group, there will generally be no major problems.

Li Yue came to a hill and ravine, guarding the surroundings.

What he guarded against was a commander-level demon, and the rest was left to Qi Chuan and the others to deal with.

A rush of fighting and the roar of beasts sounded in the silent forest.

Because of geographical factors, most of the demons here are good at lurking and secretly attacking, and the movements generated by the battle of everyone are extremely harsh in the forest, and they quickly attract the attention of many demons in the distance.

But just paying attention, the other demons just shifted their attention to that side, and didn't plan to come over and participate in the battle.

This strange behavior is very different from the demons of other terrains, and Li Yue has also known about it in the colonel's report record, this time, it is just to experiment.

"No, it's not in the habits of demons. ”

Li Yue thought about it for a while, walked in the forest, and saw that occasionally his companions were in trouble, and he didn't plan to help.

As long as he is not threatened with mortal threats, Li Yue will not help, this is something that has been said early in the morning.

Qi Chuan and others all know that if you want to break through yourself, you must learn to fight by yourself, instead of relying on others for protection all the time.

Moreover, this time, the team also brought close to ten drops of Tianlian dew, which was enough.

The battle of Qi Chuan and the others was intermittent, and the ground was already covered with demon corpses, most of them were in the mature stage, and occasionally there were one or two complete bodies, but the juvenile stage was extremely rare, and it was even difficult to see.

That's a little weird.

Li Yue grabbed a handful of black wet dirt and sniffed it with his nose, his face was a little strange.

At this time, the fighting of the others also gradually stopped.

"Hoo ......"

This battle is indeed not easy, Qi Chuan and Duanmu Yuan have limited vision, it is difficult to give full play to the advantages of long-range attacks, Liu Chongshan and Gu Tianshan, the two melee experts, are obviously not very good at using the jungle terrain, only Xu Xiaohua is more clever, and there are no injured in the team at present, so he and Li Yue are gone.

Everyone sat directly on the ground and rested for a while.

"Li Yue, I've been seeing you digging there just now, what are you doing?" Qi Chuan asked.

"Strange ......"

Li Yue's soil pit had been dug half a meter deep at this time, and he continued to dig downward, sniffing the soil as he dug.

Li Yue paused, frowning slightly.

This is clearly the breath of a special kind of demon "troll lice", but there is no trace of turning in this soil.

According to the manual, the mud that the troll lice burrowed through was fluffy, and it could not have been a compacted mud like this.

However, where the troll lice are drilled, there will be some body fluids similar to the smell of stinky tofu, and Li Yue has also smelled the sample at the beginning, which is completely consistent with this smell.

You shouldn't be wrong.

Li Yue chose to continue digging.

Soon, his earthen hole was already a meter deep.

The taste is getting stronger and stronger.

"Li Yue?" someone shouted outside.

"You guys first guard yourselves, I found some clues, wait for me. ”

Li Yue dug with a sigh, and the soil flew.

Soon, two meters ...... Three-meter ......

Li Yue's face was ugly, he could feel that the more he went down, the wetter and wetter the soil became, and even if he stepped on it, he would sink into it a lot, and there were some black sticky muddy water overflowing up, like a stinky ditch.

Without professional tools, the excavation speed has slowed down, and the use of empty door fists in this place should not have much effect.

Li Yue dug for a while, and the black muddy water was already up to his knees, and he couldn't continue.

Just as he was about to jump up, Li Yue suddenly stepped on a hard object under his feet, and suddenly came to his senses, reached down and grabbed it, the rough thin rod, and it was a fixed object.

This little resistance couldn't stop Li Yue, and with a little force, the object made a popping sound, and was torn off by Li Yue.

Li Yue squinted his eyes, the light below was not good, so he simply jumped directly onto the ground and looked carefully.

"What did you find?"

Qi Chuan and the others all came over and saw the black thing in Li Yue's hand, "Tree roots, you found this?"

"Damn, you stink!" Duanmu Yuan covered his nose and took two steps back.

"What's so strange about this root?"

Li Yue carefully looked at the roots of the tree, the vitality of this root had been cut off, otherwise it would not be easily torn off by himself, he asked, "Do any of you know how this black wood forest dried up?"

"Hasn't it always been like this?" Gu Tianshan said as he looked at the bare tree trunks around him.

Qi Chuan also spoke: "Black wood has never grown branches and leaves, it has always been. ”

But the trees died. ”

Li Yue casually walked to a tree trunk and threw a punch, and the trunk broke in response.

Li Yue pointed to the fractured surface, "It's all dead." ”

Everyone looked suspicious, they were not very familiar with the plant species of the other world, Kuroki.

Li Yue rushed out with an arrow step, his body was vigorous and light, and he quickly climbed a black wood, climbed to the top, and looked at the entire black wood forest.

As far as the eye could see, it was dark and misty, and as far as the eye could see, Wang Tingjun's camp seemed to be a small dot wrapped in black.

The real area of the park is naturally not so vast, but this scene does bring a lot of visual shock.

"Did these dark trees dry up this time, or did they have dried up before?"

Li Yue thought about this question, and as soon as he let go, the whole person fell back to the ground.

"Do you still need to rest?"

"No, it's all from the Holy Spirit, and it's not that weak. Duanmu Yuan said, the wounds on everyone's bodies have been treated, and there is no major problem.

"Okay, let's move on. ”

Li Yue said a word and led everyone to move on.

The speed at which the team was moving forward was not fast, and during this period, Xu Xiaohua also used his ability to probe again, and it seemed that the deeper he went, the more rare the demons became.

"What's going on? So far, it doesn't seem like there's even a single demon that has taken the initiative to attack. ”

Qi Chuan's face became solemn, this black forest gives people a very serious sense of depression, and except for the powerful demons of individuals, it is almost difficult to find life here, and there is a dead silence.

"Everyone cheers up, in this case, there are extremely powerful demons, so those low-level demons don't dare to move around casually, and they will come out to hunt at night. Li Yue said.

"Problem, there's nothing for demons to eat in this place, can't they eat each other all the time?" Gu Tianshan said the point.

This question also exists in everyone's minds, but they can't think of an answer for a while.

"Maybe it's because of this that the number of demons in this paradise is so scarce. Xu Xiaohua said.

Li Yue walked in front of the team, holding the Ice and Snow Tomb tightly in his hand, ready to face the commander-level demon at any time.

This time, after about two hours of travel, we have reached the heart of the paradise.

Except for a few powerful Perfection Demons hidden in the shadows, all the Mature Demons, including the slightly weaker Perfection Demons, have all disappeared.

It's already close.

"Just take a break here, try not to make any noise, and control your breath. ”

Li Yue said, he took out the medicinal mud prepared in advance from his backpack, distributed it to everyone, and smeared it all over his body.

The atmosphere was a little dull, although Qi Chuan and the others were not weak now, they had not yet fought head-on with the commander-level demons, and they all began to get nervous for a while.

Rest in place, replenish food and water, adjust your condition, and set off again.

All of them are arranged in an oval shape, alert to their surroundings, moving slowly.

The rustling sound of stepping on the soft earth and gravel under his feet is very clear in the silent air.

Soon, another hour passed.

Li Yue shouted softly: "Xu Xiaohua." ”

The team paused, and Xu Xiaohua, who was at the end of the line, once again used his ability to carefully sweep the two kilometers in front of him from a ninety-degree perspective, "I can't see any demons anymore, there is nothing." ”

The crowd was silent.

Xu Xiaohua's perspective ability can penetrate even the ground, and some demons drilled in the ground can't escape his eyes, unless they are very well disguised.

Li Yue hesitated for a while and said: "Next, there may be a lot of risk, if someone wants to quit, now let's just say it, let's go back the same way, and then I'll come over alone." ”

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads, indicating their attitude.

Li Yue said again: "This is not the time to be reckless and want to save face, if it is an ordinary commander level, the problem is not too big, but if it is a special type of demon that is also a commander level, then we will fall into a very dangerous situation." ”

"As you all know, my natural abilities are reflected in attack and vitality, and in other aspects, at best, they are better than yours, and some are even worse. ”

"So, if I am alone and can't take care of the whole team, I will easily die, and there is even the possibility of destruction. ”

Li Yue informed everyone of what might happen and let them make their own decisions.

After half a ring, no one offered to return.

"Li Yue, this time we came out, we didn't just want to mix up some experience, although we are all students of Shengyao Linggao, we are at the forefront of the entire royal court, we have resources and talents, but along the way, we are still missing something. Duanmu Yuan wrapped his braid around his neck and fixed it, his eyes firm.

"There is less of a test between life and death. Liu Chongshan added and slowly stood up.

"Me too. Gu Tianshan raised his hand.

Xu Xiaohua didn't speak, but walked silently to Li Yue's side.

"They are right, now that the world is in turmoil, there will not be many peaceful days, and before that, you have to make yourself have enough capital to survive. ”

Qi Chuan said with a smile, "Li Yue, we have been chasing your footsteps all the time, when we live in peace, you don't know how many times we have traveled between life and death, this time, no matter what you say, you have to take us with you." ”

Li Yue glanced around, also smiled, and exhaled: "You can just think about it yourself, this is not a joke." ”

The attitude was already very clear, Li Yue waved his knife and pointed forward, "Okay, then let's go to the meeting with that guy inside." ”
