The situation is generally clearer.

First of all, the "elite team" from Vulture Castle did lose several teams of men in the first wave of searching the depths of the jungle, and in order to figure out the danger they might face next, the turtledoves and bugs followed the trail along the way to a swampy area in the middle of the dense forest.

Then, through investigation, the turtledove found that the mud of the swamp was full of various remains, and some of the human remains belonging to the vulture castle were impressively placed in front of him, and at this time, in the deeper part of the swamp, there was an experimental subject of a subspecies of the "A1" type test subject, and he pounced out of the water to attack the turtle dove, so the turtle dove rightly thought that the people in the vulture castle were killed by this test subject, and transported them back to their nest.

However, after some careful observation, whether it was a turtle dove or a small worm, they both began to feel that this kind of experimental subject did not have the ability to successfully sneak attack the "elite team", you must know that the people in the "elite team" were fully armed, and everyone had long and short guns in their hands, so it was basically impossible to complete this level of sneak attack with only these subspecies of "A1" type experimental subjects.

So the real "murderer" must have been something else, and the test subjects living in this swamp just happened to "pick up" a few corpses, just as they usually do.

In fact, the turtledove should have thought a long time ago that the place where he and the worm found the pistol was not the first incident point, and the body was indeed dragged back to the swamp by this kind of experimental subject, which was no problem, but it was not them who committed the murder, and if you want to investigate all this, you must find the place where the sneak attack took place.

In this case, the turtledove and the worm had no choice but to turn back the way they came, looking for clues that could point them to the right path.

……

Turtledove was a little puzzled in his heart, he didn't know why the worm was so obsessed with figuring out what kind of people had attacked the vulture castle, but the worm said to him:

"Isn't it similar to theirs when you think about it? They are all in this dense forest where they know nothing, the only difference is that they don't know that they will die in a sneak attack soon, and we have their experience, so if you don't want to die like those people, you better figure out what killed them, otherwise the next corpse buried in the swamp is likely to be you. ”

After the worm said this, the turtledove immediately understood,—— they were not busy working for those dead people, but busy working for whether they could survive, the so-called "enemy is dark and I am clear", the threat that exists in the unknown state is often the most deadly, with the example of those people in the vulture castle in front, find a way to investigate the cause of their death, so that you can have a chance to avoid the same fate.

"It seems that you are not incorrigibly stupid," the worm seemed to tease Turtledove when he found an opportunity, "I still think you can only punch people with your fists." ”

The turtledove knew that the insect was not happy to make fun of herself, she was just too nervous, so she would inadvertently use some jokes to relax and relax, maybe the insect herself did not realize that she still had this habit, but the turtledove had already noticed the meaning of her behavior.

So the turtledove didn't argue with the worm, he learned the worm's appearance and "sighed", and amused the worm again.

……

"That doesn't seem like the way we're here."

The little worm and the turtledove wanted to go back the same way, and followed the trail of drag to look ahead, to see if they could find the first incident point, but the little worm suddenly stopped while walking, and she looked around and found that the situation was a little wrong.

"Why not," the turtledove didn't sense anything wrong, "Look at this tree, I remember there was no such one with teeth and claws before, hey?" Why is there a tree like this over there, it's strange, how can the trees here look the same......"

It is easy to get lost in the woods, because the trees used as reference objects are often difficult to distinguish, and turtledoves and insects do not have tools such as compasses on them, and the people of Vulture Castle say that electronic devices are always very disturbed and often malfunction in the barrens, so even if you have a compass at hand, you probably can't point in the right direction.

In addition, the forest here is so dense that you can't see the sun overhead, so it's not easy to look at the sun to tell the direction.

The point is that the scale of this forest is far beyond everyone's imagination, and no one knows what the direction can be done if you know the direction without knowing your own positioning, whether you can walk out of the woods by going east, or you can get out of the woods by going west.

The more this happened, the more he felt that he might really have carried the worm on his back to the desert instead of burrowing into the woods, and if he could choose again, the turtledove would not have chosen again.

It's a pity that it's too late to say anything at this time, there is no such thing as regret medicine in the world.

……

"Do you think there's something staring at us?"

After observing the surroundings, the insect suddenly whispered to the turtledove.

"Huh?"

The turtledove's observation is far less acute than that of the worm, and he does not have the "woman's intuition" unique to the worm, so the turtledove is relatively sluggish when some of the worms perceive something.

"Be careful," the worm told the turtledove again, "I suspect that something is likely to appear from those who attacked Vulture Castle, and perhaps the 'ringing honey eagle' was calling it with a voice." ”

If it hadn't been for the little worm mentioning the dead bird again, the turtledove would have almost forgotten that there was such a thing.

"Get out of the way!"

Inexplicably, the insect suddenly knocked the turtle dove aside with his body, although the turtle dove didn't know why the turtle did this, but he still dragged the little worm and protected the insect with his arm, and the two people immediately rolled out on the ground several meters away like two rolling gourds.

After getting up, the little worm's eyes widened, and he was still holding the pistol with no bullets in his hand, while the turtledove on the other side was looking down at his right arm,—— and there was a scratch more than ten centimeters long that was eye-catching, but fortunately, the wound was not too deep.

Sure enough, the bug's feeling was right, and there was indeed something weird nearby.

"What the hell is this?"

Ikaruga clenched his fists, he was not afraid to face any level of threat, even when facing a powerful mechanical modification test subject in the underground research institute, Idove never flinched, and finally won the battle with unparalleled courage.

But for this invisible threat, the turtledove is a little unsure of what to do.
