What Xu Mo asked them to find was feces, to be precise, the feces of the empty rider.

The Beast Trainers of the Cross family know everything about creatures that can be used as empty riders, and this is also the basic lesson they have been cultivating since childhood. There aren't many flat clearings at the bottom of Rift Canyon that can be used as campsites.

The two sentient beings of the Skeleton Regiment spent half a day carefully searching the rift canyon several kilometers long, and finally found a hidden camp. The abandoned camp was at the base of a sunken cliff, sheltered by boulders. If it weren't for the fact that the two trainers were very sensitive to empty riding feces, there was a real chance that they would have been missed.

There were more than thirty piles of empty rider feces in the camp, and after careful identification by two members of the Cross family, five or six types of empty riders were found. There are bipedal wyverns, giant bats, horned eagles, etc., which can be described as a mixture of dragons and snakes, and everything.

"So many empty rides? This should belong to the top team of Auvendale, right? Shepis asked in surprise, "Old K, are you worried that they will attack us from the air when we return?" ”

"Air tactics are indeed a miracle move, but it's not impossible to deal with it!" Rose frowned and said, "We can spread out the team and use Curt and them as bait, if the other party also divides the troops into several teams, there will be no threat to us!" ”

"Air cavalry is a valuable weapon of war, and Ovendale will not hand over a squadron-sized air cavalry unit to the reincarnation. Otherwise, the task of guiding the space will be unbalanced. And there are many types of air riders, and it is estimated that the top team has patched together transport-type air riders from various city stations. ”

Simon glanced at Xu Mo, sighed and explained, "The thing that the old head K is worried about is not this!" ”

"Could it be that the top team at Auvendell, like the Cross family, have studied the map of Rift Canyon in order to use the air ride to descend to the bottom of the rift and avoid being attacked while climbing?" Dusty asked tentatively.

"For personnel transportation in the canyon cracks, more than ten empty riders are enough." Xu Mo rubbed his temples with a headache, "But the number of them has reached more than thirty, haven't you thought about other possibilities?" ”

"Could it be ......" Cerna suddenly thought of something, her eyes widened suddenly, and she said hesitantly, "BOSS, do you want to say that they directly flew from Owondale to the Dusk Woodland with these thirty or so empty horses?" ”

"It can't be! No matter how large the thirty empty riders are, they can't carry many people! Yi Yun pushed the gold-rimmed glasses, puffed out her cheeks and retorted, "Since these empty horses are used for commercial transportation, then the pilots must not be a combat profession, and after removing the reincarnation team of twenty people and the supply materials, how many plot warriors can they ride?" ”

"Yes, old K, I'm afraid you're too worried this time!" A trace of uneasiness slowly grew in Shepis in his heart, and he smiled reluctantly.

"The plot force allocated by the five major spaces to each top team should not be too far apart. Sixty knights and the Cross family, though not as good as a combined team, have at least half as much force as us. It's hard to imagine that the top team at Auvendell would give up this part of their combat power! ”

"Shepbys, remember when I told you that space has left some convenience for our weakest team?" Xu Mo suddenly spoke.

"Remember, you said that the space gave us a few more days to prepare, so that we could take the leadership of the escort team at the least cost!" Shepis raised his eyebrows and immediately replied, "Judging from the top teams of the Demon Wasteland and Vionor, although they have also won the leadership of the team, their plot strength is seriously depleted, and they are not as good as Curt!" ”

"Old Master K, are you saying that the top team in Auvendell gave up their plot prowess and turned it into free time to arrive at the Twilight Glades early?" Dusty asked suspiciously.

"It's easy to get tired on a long-distance flight, and that top team should have rested for most of the day after reaching the Crack Canyon, which is why they will leave so much empty rider feces in the camp!" Serna reminded softly.

"But after entering the underground world, in terms of force, it should be the dark elves who have an overwhelming advantage, what can they do if they have a few more days to spare?" Shelpis's heart grew uneasy, and he retorted unwillingly.

"Under normal circumstances, it is really not cost-effective to exchange the force of the plot for these few days of preparation time." Simon said with a solemn face, "However, if the preparation time of these few days can allow them to gain greater plot power or win a decisive advantage...... That's not a must! ”

"Shepbys, inform the two members of your group who are still in the outer world, and tell them not to go near the entrance to our cave into the underworld! If I'm not mistaken, our back road has been cut off! ”

Xu Mo's face turned pale, and everyone's slow and in-depth discussion completely cleared the fog in his heart. Now he was pretty sure that his original guess was not wrong, and that the situation was rapidly slipping in the direction of a big collapse.

Shepis didn't ask any further, and quickly alerted the two members of the team in the team channel. When he raised his head again, the skeleton leader put away his usual lazy expression, and there was a hint of perseverance on his face.

"Old K, don't we have to cross the river to go to the Longjing vein!" A gleam flashed in Sheppis's eyes.

"Did you figure it out?" Xu Mo asked lightly.

"Everyone has given so much analysis, and Simon has said it so clearly, I can't think of it anymore, isn't it an idiot?" Shepis smiled wryly, "I just can't believe that the top team in Drow would bypass the five major spaces and contact the top team in Orvendale before the war began!" ”

"Although superstring space is strictly restrictive on cross-space connection, there should still be loopholes in the rules. For example, several worlds in advance began to be intermittently connected; Or maybe those two top teams happened to meet once, leaving behind a pact of cooperation about space warfare; Or maybe a member of a top team happens to strayed into the turbulence of time and space, and temporarily enters another top team......"

Xu Mo said with a somewhat complicated expression, "However, Simon is right, these are quite small probability events, we can only blame ourselves for our bad luck!" ”

"Old K, do you think it's really too late for us to turn back now?" Shepis hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "That crack at the entrance to the underground stretches for several kilometers, maybe those two top teams can't block that large area!" If you can evacuate the underworld, you can't fight on the plains! ”

"Master K once said before that the top team among the dark elves should belong to a minority force, but now that the two top teams are united and have a few days of buffer time, I'm afraid they have done a lot of things!" Wood sighed with some concern.

"If it were me, I would have forcibly sabotaged this joint mining between the Drow and the surface forces. Even if the leader of the dungeon is temporarily detained by force, he will not hesitate to do so. Anyway, as long as the main quest is completed, what happens to the dungeon, and the reincarnation bird is about it! Ross agreed.

"The top team of the dark elves does not need to have the leadership of the dungeon, as long as they temporarily let the dungeon lose its will to be unified, the minority forces of the dark elves will take the initiative to eliminate the surface forces." Simon added calmly, his eyes shining with excitement.

"After our fall, it is estimated that the top team of the dark elves will leave the dungeon. At that time, the top team of Owen Dale will become the only surface cooperative force. The two teams take what they need, and they are all happy! ”

"They want to be beautiful!" Yi Yun gritted his silver teeth angrily.

"Our mapmakers are scouts from all nations who have been put back to the surface by Drow. The Dark Elves don't need to control kilometers of underground entrances, they just need to guard the paths and entrances that those sentinels pass through! Xu Mo smiled bitterly, "If you don't follow the map, the underground world won't be able to tell the direction at all." And for those dark elves, this area is their backyard. ”

"The Longjing vein is estimated to be the Longtan Tiger's Den!" Shepis said helplessly.

"Wait...... Two partners from the outside world have sent a message! Yi Yun's face suddenly changed, and she frowned, "The two of them are fine, but those two members of the Cross family did not follow the advice and were assassinated at the entrance to the underground cave!" ”

Everyone was silent for a while, if there were still people who were lucky just now, then now this information undoubtedly completely confirmed everyone's speculation, they have indeed fallen into a desperate situation.

"Huh!" Susan, who was at the front of the team, suddenly let out a soft cry and walked towards Xu Mo and the others, "The two members of our family who stayed outside seem to have encountered some trouble?" ”

"How do you know?" Xu Mo's eyes flashed.

"The members of the Cross family have a kind of sensing bug on their body, this creature is social and if something happens to one of them, the other bugs will have it!" Susan said uneasily.

"Susan, show me the map!" Xu Mo said with a smile.

Susan happily handed over the underground map to Xu Mo, which was hand-drawn by the surviving sentinels, and was very crude and rudimentary. There are only a few crooked routes and a few areas that have been explored. For example: the dragon crystal vein, the underground dark river where the silver light fish is located, and so on.

"Where are these small red dots on the map that surround the Dragon Crystal veins?" Xu Mo asked, pointing to the map.

"The Sentinels of the Northern Army who originally entered the ground were a squadron, but in the process of exploring, many people died. The red-marked names are the lessons that the sentinels paid for with their lives, and all of them are the nests of some underground wild creatures, several of which are social creatures. Susan replied softly.

"Oh? Tell me more about these regions! Xu Mo's eyes flashed with surprise.
