Chapter 18: An Unexpected Surprise! The first update
>
As Zhao Futu and the chef gradually went deeper, the ground began to become muddy.
Rotting dead branches and leaves and various plants can be seen everywhere, and the corpses of some animals are also scattered everywhere, and the sky is hovering around the scavenging animals such as crows and vultures, whose eyes are blood-red with a hint of demonic aura because they have been feeding on contaminated corpses for a long time. If you encounter a lone human, these crows and vultures polluted by the breath of hell will even attack the living!
"Look! That footprint on the ground! The chef walked forward quickly, then squatted down and gestured with his palm, and said, "It seems that there are huge beasts in this vicinity, and only mutated giant beasts can stay with such large footprints." ”
Zhao Futu also looked at it, and the footprints on the ground were somewhat similar to orangutans, but the area was much larger, almost the size of two or three elephant footprints. The ground has sunken down by nearly ten centimeters, which means that the weight of the creatures passing through here is quite staggering, and its weight is probably more than three tons! Such a large size and weight also means that this monster has a lot of power!
"It's supposed to be a giant beast!"
Zhao Futu nodded and said, "It is estimated that it is just ahead, and the footprints have not been left for a long time!" ”
The two looked at each other.

Thundered!
Thundered!!
Thundered!!!
As the two of them moved forward quickly. The footprints of the huge beasts around them became more and more, and it seemed that they had entered the range of those mutated beasts. There were also many broken trees nearby, all of which were directly swept away by a strong force. The most striking thing is a large tree that is two feet the thickness of a chéngrén's waist, which was also broken in two by a strong force.
"What a terrifying power!" Zhao Futu glanced at it and asked himself if it was not so easy if he wanted to do it.
As they gradually approached the mountains. Then, after following the huge footprints into a valley, the two of them involuntarily gasped. There were nearly twenty huge beasts gathered in the valley, and among them there was a monster with golden hair, which was even more terrifying than other giant beasts, and its height was almost close to the height of a building, and it looked like a giant!
"How can there be so many giant beasts!?"
The chef's face was also surprised, but then a hint of surprise appeared, and he couldn't help but say: "There is actually a golden monster!" Looks like he's still the leader! ”
In the plane of Diablo, in addition to the bosses with names and surnames, there are also those dark gold monsters with a large number of subordinates. Further down are some of the leader-level golden monsters, all of which have one or two genera attached to them, and their strength is much higher than that of ordinary creatures. Further down are the more common jīng monsters and mutant monsters, just like the zombie that Zhao Futu encountered at the beginning, which was a mutant monster with 'ice damage' attached.
The energies of hell have been eroding the world. Therefore, there are a lot of jīng heroes and monsters in Diablo, and often when the contractors encounter them, there is basically no possibility of letting them go.
"No! There are too many monsters! We've got to find a way to get them out! ”
Zhao Futu carefully observed the valley, and then his gaze fell on the deepest part of the valley, and his face couldn't help showing a surprised expression, and he said in a low voice: "Look over there!?" How does that piece of stone look a bit like a humble altar! And you look at the vicinity of that stone. There are actually several large trees, and those trees don't seem to be polluted by the energy of hell and die!? ”
The chef's initial attention was mainly focused on the golden monster, but when he heard Zhao Futu say it, he suddenly came to his senses and frowned: "It really looks a bit like it!" But this altar plane is too rudimentary, isn't it? Besides, it seems that blood sacrifices are indispensable on the altar of demons, right? There were no corpses in sight, no blood left behind, but more like a rudimentary magic circle! ”
"Hmm. There's a wackiness here! Zhao Futu nodded and said.
The chef pulled something out of his private space, then stared intently at the pile of rubble, and after a moment his expression became solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "We seem to have found something amazing!" ”
"What's that?" Zhao Futu was shocked and asked.
After the chef took the thing back to his private space, he then said slowly to Zhao Futu: "I don't know if those stones are magic circles or not, but those trees are very strange!" ”
"Huh?"
Zhao Futu stared intently, and immediately realized that something was wrong, because the deep locations of these huge beasts seemed to be around several trees, and they looked as if they were guarding them. Not only that, but the ordinary giant beasts around seemed to want to get closer to those trees, but they were a little afraid of the giant beast leader with golden hair, and every time they moved, the leader of the largest giant beast let out a low roar, or hammered the ground with a fist the size of a basin to intimidate them!
"If I'm not mistaken, those trees are oaks!" The chef's expression was solemn, and he said slowly: "In this Diablo plane, the oak tree belongs to one of the sacred trees of the druids, and it belongs to the tree that contains a special energy!" ”
Oak?
Isn't that the sacred tree of the druids?
How did the mutated beasts guard these oak trees here? Do they have anything to do with the druids?
That's right!
These giant beasts seem to have come out of here in the first place, right?
Could it be?
Zhao Futu suddenly seemed to think of something, he couldn't help but glance at the chef next to him, and both of them couldn't help but show a trace of excitement on their faces!
Problematic!
And it's a big problem!
They seem to have stumbled upon something very important!
Zhao Futu believed that all this in front of him was definitely not just a coincidence, and it was very likely that the two of them had inadvertently touched a secret event in the Diablo plane, and such an event often meant a hidden mission with a high reward. In the Nightmare Space, as long as such a hidden quest is discovered, then if nothing else, in the final clearance evaluation, it will be improved a little more, and it is even possible to get additional rewards for just one point!
"Look!"
"A couple of giant beasts are out!"
The chef stretched out his hand and pointed to the other side, and sure enough, there were four or five huge beasts walking outside, and Zhao Futu and he were lurking on the hillside, so they didn't have to worry about being discovered by those huge beasts. I saw that the huge beasts that had left alone split into two after leaving the valley, two of them leaving in the direction of the southeast, while the other two were heading in the direction of the northwest.
"What are they going to do?" The chef watched the giant beasts depart, frowning slightly.
After saying that, he couldn't help but look at the valley, and there was a hint of leaping expression on his face, but then he gave up. Although there were four or five huge beasts left, there were still nearly a dozen monsters gathered in the valley, and if there was a more powerful gold-level boss monster, there was not much certainty with the strength of the two of them!
"Could it be that you went out to forage for food?"
Zhao Futu looked at the figure of the huge beast leaving, and said in his heart: "Maybe we can do this!" ”
Then he told the chef what he thought.
After all, Diablo's plane is already an embodied space, not just a so-called game, and life here, whether it is a human or a demon, also needs food. The wandering Fallen Demons need to feed on corpses and living people, and naturally these giant beasts also need plenty of food. However, it seemed that they wanted to protect the valley, so naturally it was impossible for them all to leave, and the huge beasts that had left were most likely out to hunt for food.
Zhao Futu and the figure of the cook descended from the other side of the hillside, and then followed towards a slightly smaller team of giant beasts.
They need to see what those giant beasts are doing!
………………
"These guys aren't slow!"
Although the huge bodies seem very bulky and sluggish, the speed of these huge beasts can be said to be not slow at all. Neither Zhao Futu nor the cook dared to follow them rashly to alarm them, so they could only fall far behind these huge beasts to see where they were going. Along the way, the giant beasts showed no signs of stopping, but slowed their progress as they entered an unpolluted forest.
And it looks like they've become a lot more cautious!
"These guys seem to have some basic intelligence?" Zhao Futu looked at them cautiously and said softly.
The chef nodded, and then said, "Look! ”
"They seem to be digging something to eat? Does it look a bit like a tree root or a vine? These guys are omnivorous! Looking at the way they look, they really look a bit like a deformed version of King Kong! Do you think these giant beasts are monkeys or orangutans mutated? ”
As soon as the chef's words fell, something changed over there!
