(); The formation of the Southland squad consisted of only the most basic ten people.

The Holy Banner and Yang Daiyi were still in mid-air on the water. They are not strict combatants, and they will not follow until they have cleared the road.

The ten members of the Southland team shrank into an extremely small defensive formation, struggling to resist the large number of crystal crabs around them.

They cooperate tacitly, and when they shrink to this extent, they will hardly show a flaw, so although they are nervous, there is no danger for the time being.

However, now they are mainly defensive, and their attack power against the surrounding beasts is limited, and they do not cause any damage.

A situation like this is certainly not going to last. The surrounding crystal crabs are almost endless, but their energy is limited. Once depleted, only those who were besieged to death.

Tuoba Khan looked around while defending, and frowned, "What's going on, how can there be so many crystal beetle?"

Yin Meiying's brows also furrowed tightly: "Yes, and it's much stronger than expected! Usually even if the crystal crab lives in a group, the level is between the second and third orders." A group of crystal beetle crabs will not exceed forty, and within a kilometer of their colony, there will be no second group. This situation is not normal!"

Yin Meiying knows all kinds of strange beasts in this area, and she said that it is not normal, but it is extremely abnormal.

Tuoba Khan nodded and said, "Yes, and they alone have been monitoring this place for some time, and if that's the case, there's no way he won't tell me." But obviously, the actual situation does not match the information now!"

Chang Ming was in the middle of the team, and he also squinted his eyes, staring at these crystal crabs.

His method of seeing strange beasts was completely different from that of ordinary people, and beyond his gaze, the soul structure of the crystal crab clearly appeared in front of him.

As long as they adjust their soul structure, these crystal crabs will immediately turn against their own kind. But Chang Ming didn't make a move, just watched coldly from the side.

Yin Meiying said that this kind of alien beast was usually a second- to third-order. The third- to fifth-order crystal crabs in front of them were far beyond their cognition, but they reminded Chang Ming of something.

The three alien beasts I saw in the deep pool yesterday had ninth- to tenth-order energy nucleus, but they did not have the humanoid posture of normal alien beasts. Then he turned his head and thought. Another suspicion came to mind.

Generally speaking, such high-level alien beasts live alone, and rarely mix with other alien beasts of the same level. How can there be three heads there?

Although it was different, Chang Ming always felt that the situation in front of him had some subtle similarities with the three-headed beast.

He stared closely at the soul structure of the crystal crab, and after a while, he found the clue, and exclaimed, "That's not right!"

Due to the shrinkage attack, the Southland team's underwater communicators are all connected. The constant chirping is audible to all. Tuoba Khan was nervously paying attention to all the movements around him, and when he heard Chang Ming's shout, he asked, "What's wrong?"

Chang Ming said: "These strange beasts are not that advanced!"

Tuoba Khan also shouted: "Impossible. With a beast of this level, how could I misjudge......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yin Meiying: "Xiao Chang should be right!"

"What?"

Yin Meiying explained, "I just felt that something was wrong. The higher the level, the darker the color. And these are noticeably lighter!"

Second-order crystal crab. It is a pale yellow color, almost close to the color of beeswax. The third-order crystal turtle is a little darker, about the same color as the egg yolk. The higher they go, the darker their color becomes, and the fifth-order crystal beetle crab is not non-existent, and their color should be close to brown.

In front of me, the sun shines through the sea. Everyone can clearly see that most of these crabs are yellow, which is exactly the color that the third-order crystal beetle crab should have.

Yin Meiying said, "I thought I was wrong, but in this way, their color is indeed wrong. ”

Tuoba Khan said, "But this fluctuation ......"

Alien beasts also have psychic powers, and their psychic fluctuations are quite special. Mechanics usually judge their rank based on this. The reason why they would think that these crabs were of the third to fifth order was not because of their appearance, but because of the special fluctuations they emitted.

Chang Ming said: "Could it be a disguise?"

Tuoba Khan thought for a moment and said categorically: "It's possible!"

In an instant, everyone was excited. That's why they're extra vigilant. Not only because of their numbers, but mainly because the level of these beasts is too high. If it's just an ordinary crystal crab......

Tuoba Khan immediately issued an order: "Three Temptation Attack!"

The Southland team immediately changed its attack method, no longer shrinking its defense, but increasing its attack power while defending.

At this temptation, everyone immediately found that the strength of these crabs was indeed not as strong as they imagined. Agile enough, intelligence is not high enough, and can only be carried out with reluctant basic cooperation.

That's easy. Tuoba Khan gave the order again, and the Southland squad launched a counterattack!

Sharp arrows caused waves under the water and pierced the belly of the crystal crab. Spears pierced them hard, then drew them mercilessly.

The second- to third-order alien beasts were like nothing in front of the experienced Southland team.

Chang Ming noticed that even with such a one-sided killing, they were not too excited, but kept maintaining a normal formation. This undoubtedly makes them more efficient, sharper in attack, and safer in defense.

One by one, the traps and supplies flowed out of Chang Ming's hands, and Chang Ming once again controlled the rhythm of the battle.

At this time, the crystal crabs could no longer cause any damage to them, and their attacks were extremely smooth, not even a trace of oily skin could be injured.

A large number of crystal crab carcasses were scattered all over the sea, and the attack of the Southland team changed form again. Now they are divided into two groups, one is responsible for killing and the other is responsible for cleaning up the battlefield.

No matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat, and the third- and fourth-order energy core crystals are only absolute low-level products in the temple, but the cumulative number is still worth a lot of money.

A member of the team pulled up a crystal crab, pierced its abdomen with a sharp blade, skillfully found the location of the nuclear crystal, and pulled it out.

He was immediately stunned, and his movements suddenly stopped, and he didn't immediately move on to the next step.

Tuoba Khan's command was divided by Chang Ming, but he still maintained his attention to every detail of the battlefield. He noticed it for the first time and shouted, "What's the matter?

The team member turned his head and shouted, "Captain......"

He handed the nuclear crystal in his hand to Tuoba Khan, who was stunned. I froze.

He picked up the nucleus, looked at it again and again, and wondered, "What's going on?"

The crystal beetle crab that had just been cleaned up was obviously a second-order, but the nuclear crystal that was picked out. It turned out to be a fourth-order!

The fourth-order nuclear crystal could only belong to the third-order alien beast, which was not in line with what they saw in front of them!

This situation was so strange that Tuoba Khan hurriedly said, "That one, try again!"

He was referring to the corpse of a third-order alien beast, and the team member nodded, and immediately floated out. He expertly cut out the nucleus, his eyes widening again.

Sixth-Order Nuclear Crystal! The Sixth-Order Nuclear Crystal, which could only come out of the body of a fifth-order alien beast, was actually taken out from the body of this third-order alien beast!

This is not the case. All energy nuclei have different levels of advancement.

Some have risen to one order, some have risen to two orders, and the nuclear crystals they have taken out. All of them are of the fourth to sixth order. That's a lot of money!

Looking at these nuclear crystals, everyone finally understood why their judgment of the level of the alien beast just now was wrong. Because the spiritual fluctuations of the alien beasts come from their energy nucleus!

What's going on?

Why is there such an abnormal upgrade?

A thought crossed almost everyone's minds at the same time – was this naturally generated, or was it artificial?

The energy nucleus is the energy source that drives the mechanism. It is the core of the core of the trick. Without the Energy Nucleus, the mechanism cannot be used at all.

The more advanced the mechanism, the more energy it needs. Even some low-level traps require higher-order energy crystals when they need high power output.

But energy nuclei are very expensive, even for mechanics.

The prohibition of purity prescribes, except for the energy nucleus. No other energy sources are allowed to power the mechanism. Therefore, many people dream of being able to make higher-order energy nuclei to advance technology. But it has never been realized, so the mechanics can only choose a more efficient form of use, better energy saving, and so on.

There are two sources of energy nucleus, one is the energy vein. One is the crystallization in the body of the alien beast. The latter is purer than the former and contains more energy.

And now, there is a situation in front of them that all the mechanics dream of. The low-level alien beast also contains the medium-level nuclear crystal! If this is man-made, it is simply a earth-shaking change!

Rank 2 to 3 Alien Beasts are not a problem for the Southland team at all. No matter how large the number was, they had emptied the battlefield in an orderly manner.

At first, they only sent one person to clean up the carcass of the crystal beetlefish, but later, there were more and more people. When the battle was over, everyone began to collect nuclear crystals on the battlefield.

The end result is very encouraging. They had obtained a total of 1,170 Energy Nucleus, of which the Sixth-Order Nucleus accounted for as much as one-fifth!

In other words, all the nuclear crystals in the crystal crab's body have been upgraded, and there is no exception. It's just that some of them have risen relatively little, only one order, and some are a little higher, and they have risen two orders at a time.

Chang Ming pinched an energy nucleus crystal and looked at it carefully.

In fact, he also got three of these anomalous nuclear crystals last night, but there were too many things, and he didn't have time to check them, so he only felt the surging energy in the nuclear crystals.

What he was holding in his hand now was a fourth-order nuclear crystal, which came from the body of a second-order alien beast, which was just one level higher than it should be.

His spiritual power was bundled into countless filaments, which instantly pierced into the nuclear crystal. He looked at it carefully for a while, raised his hand, and felt another fourth-order nuclear crystal in his arms, comparing the two.

He frowned, and suddenly said, "No, there is something wrong with these nuclear crystals!"

ps：

Recently, the rent is due and I need to find a house to move......

Looking for a house, packing things, moving, it's tiring to think about it!

The basic update should be fine, but Monday's update will be put aside for the time being, and I'll talk about it when I'm back to normal!

Thank you for the daily support of the madman and the unicorn of the Furong country, and thank you for the reward~~~
