Captain Lin had seen a lot of the world, and under Professor Xiao's explanation, he quickly calmed down.

He raised a few more doubts:

"Professor Xiao, how did you determine this result?"

"After the crystal beast grows, relying on the fungi in the soil alone is no longer enough to maintain its life, so it needs to swallow the rune beast to digest the parasites on the body surface of the rune beast, such as this fierce jackal lizard in front of it."

"Once swallowed by the crystal beast and passed through its digestive system, it will be wrapped in such a layer of crystals, and then excreted from the body, because crystal beasts like to find food in the soil when they are young, so they will instinctively bury the corpse of the expelled runestone beast in the soil!"

"That'...... What is the difference between a crystal beast and a flame crystal beast? Even if the crystal beast grows up, it will still be a crystal beast, right? ”

According to Captain Lin's meaning, if the crystal beast was not aggressive, it seemed that Professor Xiao should not be in such a hurry.

"The crystal beast itself is not too aggressive, but the white spar that falls from its body has a very terrifying destructive power!"

Professor Xiao said very seriously: "The reason why the Flame Crystal Beast is called the Flame Crystal Beast is because when it encounters an open flame, the crystals on its body will be ignited directly, and the Crystal Beast itself is not afraid of flames, which means that it may turn into a large moving fireball, and if you are unlucky, when the miasma appears, it will even ignite the miasma, causing a huge explosion!" ”

After listening to Professor Xiao's explanation, Captain Lin's face finally sank, and he also knew the seriousness of this matter.

"I'll report to the Yellowstone district!"

However, when Captain Lin was about to send a message, he found that the rune's watch had lost its signal!

"How so?" Captain Lin frowned and said, "Our position is not too deep, there shouldn't be no signal!" ”

"Let me go!"

Captain Lin and Professor Xiao raised their heads at the same time, only to see Xiao Rou's face firm, her weak fists clenched.

"I'm not strong, so I may not be able to help you much, but if I just send a message, I can do it."

Professor Xiao shook his head for the first time and said, "No, it's too dangerous for you to leave the team alone." ”

"Then let a senior accompany me and take care of each other." Xiao Rou seems to have strengthened her belief in realizing her own value.

Professor Xiao wanted to refuse, but Captain Lin saw Xiao Rou's thoughts and comforted: "Professor Xiao, children are going to grow up after all, not to mention that you also know that powerful rune beasts generally do not appear on the periphery of the Giant Wood Forest, and I will send a team member to follow Xiao Rou, and there will be no problems." ”

Professor Xiao hesitated for a while, but finally nodded and agreed.

Xiao Rou breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiao Li!" Captain Lin shouted, "I've assigned you a mission to protect Miss Xiao Rou's safety!" ”

Xiao Li, who originally thought that he had lost the opportunity, heard Captain Lin's voice, and suddenly felt like he had been beaten with chicken blood.

glanced at Lao Zhou, smiled and ran to Captain Lin.

After explaining the task, Captain Lin did not forget to advise: "This matter is very important, there is no room for mistakes, after you leave, go back to Huangshi District directly, and we will also go back after sorting out the clues." ”

"Good!" Xiao Li naturally didn't want to stay in the Giant Wood Forest anymore.

Professor Xiao was still not at ease, but Xiao Rou didn't hesitate for long in order to seize the opportunity to express herself, and took Xiao Li on the road.

……

"The smell of blood has gotten heavier in the neighborhood, and we may not be far from the scavengers."

The three of them followed the ditch on the ground that had been dragged out by the scavenging beasts, all the way to the depths of the giant wood forest.

After more than an hour of advancement, the smell around me was no longer rancid, but a thick smell of blood.

The mountain tiger hunched his back and walked in the front, Dong Ze followed closely, and the blood wolf broke behind.

Ten minutes further, Dong Ze suddenly grabbed the corner of the mountain tiger's clothes, and the mountain tiger was shocked, and looked back at Dong Ze in confusion.

Dong Ze still didn't let go, shook his head at the mountain tiger with a solemn look, and motioned for him not to go any further.

The blood wolf also shook his head at the mountain tiger if he felt it.

The three of them hunched over and hid in the low bushes, not moving.

At this time, the mountain tiger heard the sound of rustling in front of him, as if some animal was moving among the trees.

Dong Ze's hearing is even stronger than that of himself, a master of the Talisman Realm?

The blood wolf also heard the movement, and his eyes stared sharply at the source of the sound.

At this moment, two figures suddenly came out of the grass not far away, and the three of them instantly saw clearly - it turned out to be humans!

"Xiao Li, are you sure that this is the way back? How do I feel like we're getting farther and farther apart? ”

"This ...... The rune's watch seems to be out of order, but in my judgment, it shouldn't be wrong to go in this direction......"

"Wait, look! What's that up front?! ”

"Blood? No, it's the remnants of the corpse's decomposition, ...... here"

When the two were talking, Dong Ze finally saw their looks clearly, the boy Dong Ze didn't know each other, but the girl Dong Ze had seen it!

It was Xiao Rou who had helped her in the Wind and Thunder Trial!

"Why is she here?" Higashizawa frowned.

He didn't think too much about it, because the scavenging beast was nearby, Dong Ze was going to go out to recognize Xiao Rou and them first, and then send them to a safe place.

However, just as he was about to stand up, there was a sudden movement on Xiao Rou's head!

The blood wolf hurriedly suppressed Dong Ze, who was about to stand up, and said in a low voice, "Be careful." ”

The sudden movement made Xiao Rou and the others startled.

Xiao Li quickly recovered, and said calmly: "Miss Xiao Rou, don't worry, I am also a veteran who has carried out no less than twenty field missions, and the movement just now is mostly a small rune beast passing by, you don't have to worry too much." ”

As he spoke, a scream suddenly sounded in the woods, and a brown flying squirrel fell from the sky, flew in front of Xiao Rou, and finally landed in the grass on the other side.

Xiao Rou's face turned white with fright.

"You, look, I'm right, it's just a small animal......"

Xiao Li's face was embarrassed, and seeing that Xiao Rou's face was not very good-looking, he hurriedly comforted him.

"Here...... Won't it really be dangerous? Xiao Rou asked tremblingly.

When a woman is afraid, it is when a man establishes a tall image, Xiao Li showed a relaxed smile, patted his chest and said:

"Don't worry, with me here, even if it's a third-level rune stone beast, it's ......"

Xiao Li's voice stopped abruptly.

Just in an instant, a huge head suddenly drilled out from above the canopy above, and before Xiao Rou could react, it bit off half of Xiao Li's body!

Xiao Li, who hadn't had time to put on the rune armor, only had his bloody lower body left at this time, and he still maintained a standing posture.

I'm afraid that his head bitten off by the rune stone beast hasn't realized his death yet, right?

Xiao Rou's eyes widened, looking at the bloody scene in front of her, and a sense of fear instantly broke all the defenses in her heart!

She hunched over, clasped her head with her hands, and let out a hysterical scream!

"Ahh
