Chirping birds echo in the forest in the early morning.

As the others approached, a flock of birds fluttered their wings and flew out of the branches in a panic.

Perhaps because of its proximity to the desert, there is no morning fog here, the sun shines through the verdant forests, and the air is filled with fresh smells.

Needle gold is still at the forefront.

Although it doesn't look like anything from the outside, the tail vertebrae of the needle gold at the moment, even the buttocks are still a little numb and sore.

He was in good health, having healed from his previous injuries in the desert long before he entered the forest.

As an ordinary person, Bai Ya's fracture injury has only improved slightly, and so far, he has not been able to draw the bow.

"Yesterday's training seemed a bit heavy. Needle Jin pondered in his heart.

He knew that this tingling and soreness was caused by the tail flick of the lizard training last night.

After Needlegold returned to his human form, although he no longer had a tail, the injuries he received when he was in lizard form would still be left on his body in some similar form.

Just like when he was injured in his Terran form, he didn't change into other life forms because of the anomaly, and the injury healed instantly.

"Hitting trees or rocks with my tail doesn't hurt me. After all, I transformed into a black iron lizard. ”

"Looks like I'm having a problem with the way the lizard's tail is used. ”

"When I practiced tail flicking, I hurt myself. ”

"If it weren't for my strong recovery ability, I'm afraid that my walking posture would be deformed now. ”

Needle Gold sighed secretly.

Once in the forest, it was not easy for him to practice late at night.

Previously, in the desert, the expedition team arranged a one-man vigil.

Now that two people were keeping vigil at the same time, Needle Gold couldn't stay away from the vicinity of the camp for too long. If it's too long, it will make other companions worry, and then look for it, causing more trouble.

Needle gold can transform into a spear scorpion, and can also be transformed into a complete fat ball flying fish. But last night, he only had time to train the green lizard form, and the other two forms didn't have the time to train at all.

"I'm basically familiar with the scorpion form. ”

"As for the Fat Ball Flying Fish...... "Needle Gold has been secretly changed in the desert as early as now, and it is found that this form is not practical.

The Fat Ball Flying Fish's strongest attack is to shoot pitch-black poisonous fish bones.

But the premise of this attack is that the fat ball flying fish explodes.

This is the way to end together.

Sometimes, the fat ball flying fish dies too suddenly, and it is too late to blow itself up.

If you want to use this method, it is undoubtedly a fancy suicide.

In addition to this, the Fat Ball Flying Fish is capable of stealth.

However, after the anomaly, it was found that although the human eye could not observe this stealth, the fat ball flying fish would open its mouth and make a croaking sound when it floated forward. If he didn't make a croaking sound, he wouldn't be able to exchange air with the outside world, and he wouldn't be able to quickly float in the air.

To a large extent, the croaking sound reduces the use value of stealth.

So after knowing this, Needle Gold is not very happy to train his fat ball flying fish form.

He thought about it and thought that the most practical thing should be the green lizard form.

The eyes of the green lizard were of great help to him.

And the green lizard's acid spray can be said to be the strongest long-range attack method that Needle Gold has mastered so far. Acid is much more powerful than wooden darts, and the range is not much different. Needle gold is particularly good at precision, and the combination of the two is very powerful.

And the green lizard form is only at the level of black iron, which is actually an advantage.

The silver-level spear scorpion form will violently consume the magic energy in the heart core. In comparison, the Black Iron Green Lizard consumes much less mana. This would give the Needle more time to fight and practice the form.

The black iron and green lizard is used as a conventional means of combat, and the silver spear scorpion is the hole card that will be used when encountering a strong enemy.

This is the planning of the needle.

He didn't think that way.

After being able to truly control the heart core, his feelings about the heart core are not only curious, probing, and amazed, but also more jealous, defensive, and vigilant.

Originally, he wasn't going to use the magic core of his heart frequently, but after being chased by the fat ball flying fish in the oasis, Needlegold's mind changed.

"If I don't have green lizard eyes, I can't spot the Fat Ball Flying Fish. ”

"I'm more than lucky, and Zidi and Cangsu basically won't survive!"

"On this island, anything can happen, and danger is likely to strike in the next moment. ”

"I obviously have a heart core that can absorb blood, and I have some ability to deal with this danger. But because of caution, he was prepared in advance, and when the crisis came, he could only wait for death. If that's the outcome, then wouldn't I be too pedantic?"

With these thoughts, for the sake of himself and Zidi and the others, he gritted his teeth and decided to use the heart core to prepare as much as possible.

Plan ahead to be prepared.

The complete form of the Fat Ball Flying Fish is the result of this kind of thinking - when he was in the oasis, Needle Gold secretly killed many Fat Ball Flying Fish behind his back on his back, and only then did he collect all the complete bloodlines and turn into a black iron level Monster Flying Fish.

"Huh? Wait a minute. As he was moving, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something strange and immediately stopped.

The crowd immediately became nervous.

Since entering the forest this time, Needle Gold has never taken the initiative to stop. Is it aware of the great threat lurking in this area?

Needle Gold slowly walked to the left front, and after a dozen steps, he stopped under a tree.

He reached out and stroked the bark, which was missing a small piece, as if it had been caused by a sharp weapon.

Needlegold looked around and soon noticed more tiny marks.

Then, he stared at him as if he had found something.

He plunged deep into the dense grass and stooped down to pick up a piece of silver-colored armor.

The others walked over, and Cangsu saw the armor piece in Needlegold's hand and said in surprise, "This is part of the armor." The material is of high quality and is of the highest quality steel. ”

Needle Gold nodded slightly, and continued to search the surroundings.

Footprints of various shades, blood stains, broken logs that were dumped everywhere, and bare land when the turf was completely shoveled...... More and more traces were found by him, but the needle gold could not simulate the scene of a battle.

"There must have been a fierce battle here. ”

"The surviving side deliberately cleaned up the battlefield, so I couldn't judge more. ”

Zidi's beautiful eyes blinked: "So, is there anyone around here?"

Bai Ya asked, "What is it that is fighting them?"

Needle Gold frowned, and his tone was not very sure: "It seems to be a giant beast, with a body larger than a hoofed horse, and it is very heavy. The main type of attack seems to be headbutting. ”

"It's supposed to be the crowd that wins. Warcraft doesn't go out of their way to clean up the battlefield. ”

Needle gold made a judgment, more reluctantly.

"Are you sure it's human?" Zidi asked.

Needle Gold shook his head: "I can only judge that they are humanoid, but since they can clean the battlefield and are so good, it means that they must have high intelligence." After the fierce battle, there was still enough strength to clean up the traces, which showed that their group of people was strong. ”

Cang Xu squatted on the ground and touched the footprints with his fingers: "This battle happened a few days ago. What I'm more concerned about is, why are they cleaning up the battlefield and cleaning up the traces?"

This problem of Cangsu is also what Needle Gold is worried about.

Needle Gold and the others were attacked by demonic beasts and rarely cleaned the battlefield. At most, it is necessary to clean up the blood and prevent the smell of blood from attracting other predators.

But this group not only cleaned up the battlefield, but also did it very meticulously.

This doesn't make sense.

Using this kind of intensity to clean up the battlefield is not worth the loss. Because people will consume a lot of time and physical energy, in the process of island survival, every resource and every bit of physical energy needs to be saved.

Even if they leave these traces, the predators of the forest are less intelligent and will not benefit from the traces of the battlefield.

But the gang did just that.

What do they need to guard against?

Who are they? Is it the crew of the Pig's Kiss, or is it ...... What about the people on this island?

Needle Gold looked into the distance, his eyes a little distracted from thinking.

The unexpected happened.

Now, he has two options in front of him.

The first choice was to follow their original plan and rush to the place where Cangsu and the others had entered the forest before. This allows them to validate and populate the map.

The second option is to abandon this plan and follow these traces to approach this mysterious group that suddenly appeared.

There's a lot of risk.

The combat power of the mysterious gang is unknown, but it should not be low. The number is unknown, the ethnicity is unknown, and the intentions are unknown.

The crowd was silent, some continued to observe the traces, and some watched their surroundings.

They are all waiting for the decision of the needle.

Without spending too much time thinking, Needle Gold quickly made a decision: "Abandon the previous plan, and we will follow these traces." Be safe. ”

"Understood. White Bud replied.

"Yes, master. "Spirulina is concise.

Cang Xu and Zi Di both nodded, and no one objected.

As a result, the five-member exploration team changed direction, no longer walking along the dividing line between the forest and the desert, but officially went deep into the forest.

Two hours later, a river appeared in front of them.

Looking at the gurgling river, he couldn't help but sigh.

At this point, the clues are all broken.

He had been following the trails, but the gang was cleaning up the trails along the way.

They were experienced and sophisticated, and after a few days, the needle tried his best to barely make out their previous route.

But when they reached the river, the traces left by the mysterious gang disappeared completely because of the current.

"The river is very slow and the riverbed is low, reaching only the knees of an adult. Here they stepped into the river, but did not go directly to the opposite bank. It is not known at all whether they will follow the river or swim against the current and land at a certain location. ”

However, this also means that the river is not very dangerous. ”

Needle Gold squinted his eyes and transformed into lizard eyes, and found that there was almost no life in the river, at most some small fish and shrimp.

"Keep going. After pondering for a moment, he led his team across the river to the other side.

There was no trace to trace, and the needle gold followed the direction estimated by the baranghou, and the destination was the beach where the Pig's Kiss ran aground.

After about a quarter of an hour, Needle Gold was the first to hear a cacophony of cacophony.

As the distance shortened, a group of five people found a camp in the forest.

The camp is surrounded by a row of wooden stakes, and the area of the camp is not large, but there is actually a wooden house hall built in the center. There are also two arrow towers in the camp, one has been built and the other is just taking shape.

A herd of beasts was wreaking havoc in the camp, and the people in the camp were all cowering into the central hall of the wooden house, and the situation was very bad.
