Compared with forest landforms, rainforest landforms are gentle and mountains are rare.

The scale of this valley is not large, and with more than 200 people and a large amount of supplies, it is already small.

The small valley is lined with greenery, with a large number of vegetation, bushes, and vines next to each other.

Except for a small clearing in the center, the rest of the place is almost shaded by verdant foliage.

In the mountains of the small valley, there are large and small natural caves, deep or shallow, which are the dwellings of nature's gifts.

There is also a pool of spring water in the valley, a stable source of fresh water of great value. It is also the main reason why the people of Camp 1 chose to move here.

Unfortunately, the mysterious murderer followed.

After moving here, more than a dozen people have mysteriously disappeared in the valley, and they must be more than lucky.

After resting for a night and clearing most of the fatigue in their bodies, Needle Gold, Cangsu and others came to a cave.

This cave is not deep and is one of the crime scenes.

The people who once lived here have mysteriously disappeared.

The cave is clear at a glance, and after someone disappeared here, no one dared to live here.

There are also some rudimentary household items in the cave, which exudes a faint musty smell and an imperceptible smell of blood.

The main attraction is one of the boulders.

Beneath the boulder is a hole.

With a look from the needle, the blue-green algae understood, and took the initiative to move the boulder away.

The master and servant met in the forest, and then experienced a sandstorm, a desert, a volcano, an oasis, and ...... The adventures along the way have produced quite a tacit understanding between them.

When the boulder was removed, the hole underneath was immediately revealed.

The diameter of this cave is about 1.7 meters, and the bottom of the cave is deep and dark, and even if you drop a stone or a torch, you can't get to the bottom of it. Unless someone bends down and gets in.

But this is extremely dangerous.

According to the speculation of the fan, the mysterious real culprit of the serial murder came in and out of this cave.

In fact, this idea is very natural, after all, the sudden appearance of the hole in the ground is too obvious.

It's just that there is no way for everyone to solve this problem, and no one wants to risk it themselves. This cave is too small, and when you encounter a mysterious murderer underground, you will simply kill yourself.

Needle Gold and the others carefully looked at the hole.

Cang Xu stretched out his thin old hand and touched the edge of the hole in the ground. On the walls of the cavern, he felt a burst of oiliness.

Zidi took out a bottle of potion and sprinkled it around the hole.

Soon, the colorless potion reacted, emitting a pungent and strange smell.

"The evidence is conclusive, it should be that kind of underground giant worm. "Zidi is definitely authentic.

Needle Gold nodded, and the rest of the people also looked like this.

During the defensive battle of the camp, everyone discovered this silver-level demonic beast for the first time, it can burrow into the ground, its size is huge, its vitality is vigorous, and it has fought several times with Mane, which once brought a huge threat to the camp.

In the process of chasing the blue dog fox wolf, Mango still stoned him to death.

Of course, its corpse will not be wasted, and after being dragged back by the others, it will be immediately dissected by Cang Xu.

Cang Xu analyzed that this underground giant insect had at least three creatures pieced together, and the main body was a sand silkworm.

Sand silkworms are also known as sea earthworms, and under normal circumstances, they are about the same size as earthworms, and they are generally found on beaches by the sea.

The public's understanding of the underground giant insect immediately deepened. After Mane Ge and Sandao learned about it, some people speculated that it would be this kind of demonic beast that attacked the survivors in the first camp?

The beach terrain is different from other terrains, and the underground giant insects will collapse when they enter and exit the holes. Add to that the fact that it was raining and the beach was always wet at the time of the attack, which made it even more difficult to tell the traces.

If the monster attacks from underground and escapes from underground, then everything makes sense.

The beard also analyzed that the underground giant insect secretes greasy bodily fluids on the surface of its body, so that it can quickly enter and exit the underground passages it has dug.

Zidi collected this bodily fluid and specially prepared the potion. Once the agent touches this bodily fluid again, it reacts and produces a strange smell.

Now, the speculation of Mango and others has been confirmed.

After that, everyone explored several other caves one after another, and Cang Xu's tone was solemn, "The underground giant insects grow very quickly, and you can understand it by looking at the caliber of these caves." ”

"This may well be the case. Underground insecticidal larvae, under the sand, attracted by people's activities, began to hunt. ”

"At that time, it was still relatively young, so it could only be hunted, not dragged into a hole in the ground, or swallowed whole. ”

After that, the people began to migrate and abandon the first camp, and the underground giant worms noticed this and tracked the valley underground, using the small valley as a new hunting ground. ”

"Because there's a constant supply of food, it's growing very fast underground here. The size has become huge, the strength has increased greatly, and now the underground giant worm has the ability to drag people into the hole, or can directly eat the whole person!"

"Because of this, people are killed on the beach, but when they go to the small valley they appear to be mysteriously missing. ”

Cangsu's analysis was recognized by everyone present.

Zidi added, "We surveyed a few caves and didn't find any blood near the entrances and exits of the caves. If a person is dragged into it by a giant worm, it will definitely leave all kinds of traces. Therefore, I am more inclined to swallow my life directly into the underground giant worm. ”

"It attacks, all in the night. It seems that people will only do it while they are asleep. With such a tactic, it is becoming easier and easier for it to swallow a person alive. ”

"And what are we going to do with it?" said Mango, worried.

Giant insects are active underground, and their numbers are currently unknown.

It will only come out when it is hunting.

But the difficulty lies in the fact that it can accurately perceive life on the ground through its sense of touch.

Therefore, it has always been able to avoid the real and find the person who is lonely. At the beginning on the beach, Mango and the others kept vigil in person, but they didn't catch it, and they didn't even see its shadow, which is the reason.

The way of deliberately hiding, setting traps, and then crowding around seems to have no effect on the underground giant insects.

"Don't worry, I have a solution. "Needle gold heart said.

He has ultrasonic detection, and he can easily know the activity of the underground giant insects underground.

He also has a strange fragrance, and controlling the giant insect is not a problem.

He can even transform into a spear scorpion and so on, and go directly into a hole in the ground.

However, the needle gold on the bright face is also a look of embarrassment.

"Zidi, I want you to be able to concoct a potion, preferably to create a flavor that the underground giant worm likes, and attract it. ”

"Since the Underground Giant Worm likes to hunt down lone targets, then please Mane Ge and gather everyone together as much as possible to rest. ”

"As for me......"

"Don't bother me, you need to be alone for a while. ”

"I will pray to my Lord!"

Hearing the last words of the needle, everyone's eyes lit up.

Dark clouds hung over the beach, and there was no tomorrow in sight. There were fine pieces of rain floating in the air, and gusts of sea breeze blew, which made Mu Ban shiver for a while.

"Pig Kiss ......" Bai Ya looked at the half-cut hull lying on the beach, and his face was complicated.

He wanted to become a knight, with the ideal of getting ahead, but was refuted and opposed by his hunter father. But this only inspired Bai Ya to rebel, and the young man stole the family's money before he could barely scrape together enough of the lowest ticket and take the Pig Kiss.

He never expected that the pig's kiss, which he had carefully selected, would be shipwrecked.

"I'll go in first, investigate, and make sure it's safe, and then you can go in and dismantle the ship. "If I don't come out, don't go in and save me, the best response is to go back to Lord Needle Gold or Master Mane." ”

Mu Ban and Bai Ya nodded at the same time. They all know that their combat strength is weak, and if they are planted with three knives, they will rush in to save people, and they will only be sent to death.

Mu Ban, Bai Ya, Sandao and others were all sent by Needle Gold to dismantle the Pig Kiss.

The Pig's Kiss has been scavenged, but the wreckage of the ship's own remains of great value.

A lot of planks can continue to be used, and so are masts, especially ship nails, which are very scarce at the moment for people such as needle gold.

The figure of the three knives soon appeared on the upturned foredeck.

He waved to the crowd under the beach and shouted, "Come on, everything is safe here." ”

More than 20 people, including wooden planks and white buds, carried hammers, saws and other tools, and rushed in.

The Pig Kiss has two decks, with a bow and stern floor. Now only half of the hull is left, and there is no aft building or anything.

There is the captain's cabin in the bow building. There is also the crew quarters in the front half, and the cargo is usually placed on the lowest floor.

According to the boatwright's instructions, the mast was dismantled first.

The foremast is rarely well preserved, while the middle one is half broken, and the remaining half is still valuable.

After that, it is dismantled from the top down, from the outside in.

For a moment, the wreckage of the Pig Kiss was filled with the sound of people shouting, the sound of sawing wood, and the sound of smashing things with hammers.

They came here in the morning, rested at noon, ate the dry food and water they brought with them, and continued their work in the afternoon.

There were no beasts coming, and there were no windfalls.

The survivors had searched the wreckage over and over again, and everything they could use and eat had been looted, and it was very clean.

Until the evening, when Bai Ya led people to the captain's room on the front first floor, he made a small discovery.

In the corner, Bud found a vial of ink, a quill that would be destroyed in the future, and a stack of paper in a drawer.

The white buds just showed their joy.

Call!

A strong wind blew, and the entire hull shook violently.

"Get out of here, the Pig Kiss is about to collapse!" Bai Ya heard Mu Ban's roar.

The wreckage of the ship was already unstable, and after a whole day of dismantling, only the skeleton remained, and it was only natural that it would collapse.

Bai Ya and the others immediately turned around and sprinted.

But as soon as he walked to the door of the captain's room, Bai Ya gritted his teeth, suddenly turned around, and ran inside!

The people around him didn't hold him, hesitated, and ran away first.

After a dozen breaths, the ship collapsed, kicking up a cloud of smoke and dust.

"Where's the white bud?"

"He suddenly turned around and ran in!"

"He's still in there!"

After discovering this, everyone hurried into the smoke and dust.

Soon, they saw the white buds.

Bai Ya was lying on the beach, gray-headed, and behind him, only half a meter, a large pile of broken hulls piled up.

Seeing this scene, Sandao, Muban and others were all afraid of Bai Ya.

But the young man, who was not injured, got up on his own, but smiled fearlessly and ignorantly.

As the night deepened, everyone carried torches and dragged a large pile of dismantled supplies back to the small valley.

The atmosphere in the small valley was warm, and after Sandao and Muban investigated, they learned that Needle Jin and others had found the mysterious real culprit and killed it. It's a huge bug, hideous and terrifying!

Everyone was overjoyed, and after a tiring day, the exhaustion in their bodies seemed to be swept away by the news.

That night, Needle Gold and others held another celebratory dinner.

At the edge of the cave, Bai Ya sat on the damp ground with his back against the cave wall.

He carefully spread the paper on his thigh, then dipped his quill in a little ink and began to write by the light of the campfire outside.

My dear Miss Nishihagi

I forgive you for not writing to you for a long time.

The shipwreck happened so suddenly, and the hardship, danger and excitement of the subsequent experience were beyond my previous life.

......

Bai Ya wrote a lot, and there were many words that he couldn't write, so he was empty for the time being.

At the end of the letter, he wrote—

When we returned, we saw the corpses of giant insects in the ground on a high platform in the clearing of the small valley.

This underground insect killer is still very young, and does not have the physique of the underground giant insect that attacked the camp before.

People cheered, fussing and cursing around the corpse of the giant underground worm, venting their emotions.

I can imagine the shock in their hearts, as well as the joy, and the adoration of Lord Needle Gold!

Needle-sama did it.

This was not at all surprising to me.

It's just a small thing for him. How to say it in the words of the Imperial East?

My life was saved by Lord Needlegold, who is a true knight. I take it for granted that the gods favor him. If you don't favor such a person, who else can you favor?

I'm sure everything will get better and better.

As long as we build a new ship, we can leave the island.

I can go to the Wild Continent and fight and reap the glory.

Because, I'm following Lord Needle Gold!
