Each crystallization point represents a large amount of pyroxene, including the source pyroxene.

This is undoubtedly a great asset.

It's a pity that most of the locations where the crystallization points are located are very hidden, and the number is extremely rare, such as the outer area, which has been searched countless times, and the probability of finding a crystallization point is not much different from winning the jackpot.

The episode brought by the Black Rock Leopard passed quickly, and Du Mu and his party packed up their supplies and embarked on the journey back to the base.

This time, instead of deliberately looking for the Gemological Academy team, they tried to avoid contact with each other.

A moment later, on the way back, Du Mu and the others encountered several black rock leopards, and they were the same as the one in front of the stone house not long ago, without exception, they looked manic and painful.

Sure enough, after killing the Black Rock Leopard, Du Mu found pyroxene in their abdomen.

Now they all sensed that something was wrong.

It can be said that one or two black rock leopards accidentally ate pyroxene, but so many black rock leopards are like this, and it is impossible to explain it by chance, and they began to wonder if there was a large amount of pyroxene hidden nearby.

"But that's not right, the Black Rock Leopard is not a social beast, it has always been a loner, even if there is a pyroxene anywhere, it is impossible for so many Black Rock Leopards to eat it. Chi Xiang Zhenxiu frowned slightly and questioned.

"The only explanation is that there is a Black Rock Leopard, which is far stronger than the others, and it gathers a large number of its kind. Luo Shen muttered, "Even if it is not a group of desolate beasts, as long as a king is born in the same clan, it is not impossible to subdue some of his subordinates. ”

Zhou Qixi shook his head: "But according to the information provided by the base, no one in the ruins has ever seen a black rock leopard above the second star beginner level. ”

"Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean you haven't. ”

Du Mu seemed to think of something, and his expression moved.

"Do you remember? It was also mentioned in the intelligence that there must be an extremely powerful mutant beast guarding near the crystallization point!"

After a few seconds of silence, the three of Luo Shen reacted one after another, and their eyes lit up.

Chi Xiangzhen couldn't wait to say: "You mean, there is a Black Rock Leopard that has mutated and greatly increased its strength by devouring the pyroxene of the crystallization point, and then subdued a large number of ordinary Black Rock Leopards as his subordinates?"

"It's very likely!" Du Mu nodded.

"Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and find that place!" Chi Xiangzhen was already gearing up, "That's a crystallization point!"

Luo Shen and Zhou Qixi also showed a trace of excitement and expectation on their faces.

If they could find the crystallization point, everyone present would be able to get at least dozens of crystals, which was greater than the harvest they had gained in the previous seven days combined.

"Well, let's get moving. Du Mu made a decision, and after thinking for a while, he said, "The four of us are scattered, find out which direction there is the Black Rock Leopard that has devoured the pyroxene, and if you find it, use the communication watch to contact us!"

Zhou Qixi and the three of them nodded heavily, no longer delayed, and immediately dispersed the search according to the agreed plan.

Half an hour later, the communication watch shook, and Zhou Qixi's voice came.

"To the northwest, two black rock leopards were found!"

Du Mu's spirit perked up: "Very good, don't do it first, wait for us to meet!"

With that, he immediately rushed to the northwest.

On the other side, without Du Mu's orders, Luo Shen and Chi Xiangzhen also rushed to Zhou Qixi's position.

Five minutes later, the four of them reunited and found Zhou Qixi hiding behind a broken wall, and more than 20 meters in front of the broken wall, the two beasts with red eyes and salivating black rock leopards were fighting each other.

"These two guys have lost their minds from the excruciating pain. Du Mu looked at it for a while and sighed regretfully.

He had wanted to kill one of them, spare the other, and follow it to the lair.

It's a pity that at the moment, the two Black Rock Leopards have lost their minds, and I am afraid that they will not be able to fulfill their duty of leading the way.

"But I did point out the general direction. Luo Shen said, "Since there are two black rock leopards that have devoured pyroxene here, it means that their nest should not be far from here, and most of them can be found by searching in this direction." ”

"Hmm. Du Mu bowed his head lightly, looked at the fighting Black Rock Leopard again, and his eyes froze.

Since he had lost his role in guiding the way, it was useless to keep two more Black Rock Leopards, he tightened the long sword in his hand, and was about to get up to deal with them, but the battle situation not far away suddenly took a sharp turn.

The body of one of the two black rock leopards in the battle was like an inflated balloon, and suddenly it expanded sharply, like a large crack appeared on the surface of the muscles of the dark stone, and a large amount of dazzling red light came out of the body.

The strange change caused the black rock leopard to let out a terrible howl, and after a few seconds of trembling body, its strength suddenly increased, and it actually flipped the opponent over in one fell swoop, and then opened its mouth full of sharp teeth and bit the throat of the opponent fiercely.

The bitten Black Rock Leopard writhed wildly, but it could not break free, and in the fierce struggle, its physical strength was gradually exhausted, and after a while, it was motionless and completely lost.

It was only then that the victorious Black Rock Leopard let go of its mouth and stood in place gasping violently, while the crimson light on its body gradually faded, but did not dissipate.

Through the cracks on the surface of the body, a faint red light can be faintly seen.

At a glance, the body surface of the Black Rock Leopard seems to have countless red lines, and its appearance has changed greatly.

The four of Du Mu watched the whole process from beginning to end, and it was not until the two black rock leopards decided that they came back from the shock and gasped together.

"That's what it is...... Mutation?" Chi Xiangzhen stared at the Black Rock Leopard twenty meters away with wide eyes, and his face could not hide his surprise.

Zhou Qixi said in a low voice: "Is it this kind of black rock leopard that gathers a large number of the same clan?"

Feeling the breath on the Black Rock Leopard, Du Mu frowned suspiciously, and said after a while: "It shouldn't be, although that Black Rock Leopard has mutated, but in terms of breath, its strength has reached the two-star intermediate level at most, which is not enough to deter a large number of Black Rock Leopards, I think, there should be a deeper degree of mutation of the Black Rock Leopard." ”

"Moreover, if there are still a lot of these mutant Black Rock Leopards in the group of Black Rock Leopards that have been subdued, then the strength of their leader will only have to be reestimated, even if it reaches the three-star level, it is not impossible. ”

Hearing this, Chi Xiangzhen and Zhou Qixi immediately looked at each other.

The three-star level mutant Black Rock Leopard leader, plus an unknown number of mutant Black Rock Leopards and ordinary Black Rock Leopards, this trip to explore may not be as easy as they originally imagined.

"If that's the case, doesn't that mean that there are indeed crystallization points in their nests?" Luo Shen stared intently at the Black Rock Leopard not far away, "Otherwise, it won't be able to support the mutation and evolution of this group of Black Rock Leopards." ”

"That's right. Du Mu said.

This is the only good news, the stronger this group of black rock leopards, the greater the probability that there will be crystallization points in their nests.

After figuring out the joints, the worry and shock brought to Chi Xiangzhen and Zhou Qixi by the mutation of the Black Rock Leopard were also diluted a lot by joy.

"In any case, we have to find the nest of the Black Rock Leopard and determine their strength before we can decide on a plan of action, and it's useless to worry about so much now. ”

"Hmm, that mutant Black Rock Panther is leaving, let's follow!"

After the Black Rock Panther mutated, it seemed to regain its senses, and instead of its previous manic behavior, it rested in place for a while, and then moved its limbs and left.

Du Mu and the four hurriedly followed.

Along the way, it seemed that due to the great drop in strength after the injury, the mutant black rock leopard never noticed the four Du Mu who had been hanging far behind.

After running for seven or eight minutes, it finally reached the ruins of a half-collapsed house, jumped straight into it, and disappeared after a few tosses.

Seeing this, Du Mu and the four of them immediately quickened their pace, and soon came to the ruins of the house, searched everywhere, and then found a dark and faint hole under the two walls that were inclined to each other's horns.

The four of them glanced at each other, and their faces showed joy at the same time.

Du Mu took a step forward decisively: "I'll go in first, and you will follow me." ”

The other three all knew that Du Mu had a very strong defensive physical skill, and even if there was danger, he would have enough strength to resist it, and he was the most suitable to open the way ahead, so they did not hesitate and nodded one after another.

So, led by Du Mu, the four of them jumped from the ruins and entered the cave one after another.

......

Less than two minutes after the four of them entered the cave, four figures suddenly flashed behind a dilapidated building dozens of meters away.

They were dressed in the uniforms of the second year of the gemological college, and as soon as they appeared, they immediately looked around, and when they saw that there was no half of the figure in sight, they immediately frowned deeply.

"Damn, lost again!" said one of them.

"It's too far away. "Another humane.

"There's no way, there's a terrifying guy in the opposing team, and if you get too close, you'll be discovered immediately, and many squads were discovered when they were tracking, but they were designed to sneak attack instead!"

The young man in the lead sighed and turned his head to look at his companion on the side, "Did you leave a mark along the way?"

"Don't worry, Captain, you've already left a mark, and the hunters will catch up soon!"

"That's good. ”

The young man in the lead breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "In order to catch this Star Luo team, we have seven teams joined forces, and it took two days of searching to finally catch their tails, but we can't let them go!"

A few minutes later, another team of four arrived.

One of the young men with dark skin but a capable breath didn't say a word, squatted down and looked on the sand around him, and after a while, he led people to the dark and secluded cave entrance, pointed to the cave entrance and said coldly:

"Their traces are gone here, they must have entered inside!"

"I didn't expect there to be a hole in the ground here. ”

The leading young man looked surprised, and immediately turned his head and ordered, "Notify the other teams to come over!"

"Yes!" someone immediately left.

"After robbing us of so many pyroxenes, it's time to 'repay' you guys!"
