For intelligent beings, the unknown is always the most terrifying thing. Most of the known things can use wisdom and experience to find countermeasures or find ways to escape, and in the face of the unknown, there is no precautionary measure, and can only passively wait for the emergence of danger.

This is the case within a thirty-kilometer radius around Dragonsmark. Around the Dragon's Scar, perhaps because of the destructive power remaining underground, there are many strange magical beasts that are rarely seen in the outside world, they have no fixed territory, no fixed hunting time, no fixed recipes and hunting objects, the entire range of the Dragon's Scar is like a huge hunting ground, and every creature here is ready to hunt other creatures at any time, and of course, ready to be hunted by other creatures at any time.

"It's already within the reach of the Dragon's Scar. Elad cautiously lay down in the grass and said in a low voice: "Within thirty kilometers from here, I can only lead the way, I can't warn any danger in advance, and I can't provide means of prevention, if you continue to move forward, then pray for yourself, everyone can die, no matter how strong they are." For example, the monster in front of you looks very strong, but it is very likely to be eaten quickly. ”

The unknown monster that Elad was referring to was crawling past everyone's hideout, a behemoth seven meters long and three meters wide, somewhat like a crocodile, with short limbs and belly pressed against the ground crawling forward. Judging from its claws and fangs, it must be a carnivorous beast, covered with hard scale armor on its back, and its thick tail flicked one after another, crawling through the hidden place with a leisurely posture after a full meal, not in the slightest expectation of the approaching danger.

It hadn't expected it to be in secret, nor did anyone watching in secret, and even Erad, who had come to his conclusion, didn't expect his prophecy to come true so quickly. Sure enough, just like he said, the unknown demonic beast that looked very strong died immediately.

Death came without warning, and it crawled forward leisurely on the ground, its abdomen suddenly cracked, and a large amount of internal organs with gushing blood spilled on the ground under the effect of gravity. What's even more terrifying is that it didn't notice all this at all, and still crawled forward as usual, until it felt that something was wrong with its body, and then glanced behind it with a humanized puzzled gaze. It doesn't have a high intelligence at all, and the large mass of internal organs on the ground fell from his body, and he can't understand why the internal organs wrapped in the body fell to the ground inexplicably, so he can only look at the sudden extra internal organs and blood on the ground with strange eyes, until he is overwhelmed by the sudden strong fatigue, and then closes his eyes forever.

At the same time as the demonic beast died, the ground covered with internal organs suddenly began to churn, and a few seconds later, the demonic beast that had been in a strange shape burrowed out of the ground. The underground demonic beasts also look like lizard-like demonic beasts, and their size is not small, counting the length of the tail is four meters, and the body is round, and the body surface is covered with a dark cuticle, as if it is covered with a layer of heavy armor. The head is triangular and has two translucent air sacs around its neck, which store air for long-term underground use.

"Bladed lizards. Pannis whispered, "This is a swordblade lizard." ”

"How is that possible?" Lina silently flipped through the illustrated book in her hand, "Aren't they just living in the damp Lost Forest?"

"Obviously, this is a special case. With a low "tsk" sound, Pannis pointed at the bladed lizards and said, "Look at the blades behind them, one of the rather terrifying weapons." ”

As the name suggests, the cuticle behind the swordblade lizard has undergone a certain degree of mutation, and the cuticle part of the midline behind it has formed a thin bulge. The protrusions are extremely thin, sharp like the blade of a sword, about ten to fifteen centimeters high, translucent, and can be retracted at will. Normally, they use their limbs suitable for digging to bury themselves in the earth, and once a large monster like a crawling or snake passes by, it will eject the translucent blade on its back and slit the belly of its prey from below. Because the blade is too thin and sharp, and the surface secretes narcotic substances, the victim will not be aware until it is completely disemboweled, and can only die inexplicably, becoming a delicious meal in their mouths.

"In the Lost Forest, this sword-bladed lizard is a very nasty creature. Pannis whispered anecdotally: "Occasionally, elves will step on their unfolded blades, and at that time, unless the demigods of the eternal shield are hit, even the legendary tier will be hit." Moreover, their blades are so strong that even the tenacity of the legendary rank will be injured, and the gold or below rank ** will be even worse, and they may be directly cut off half of the soles of their feet. So in the Lost Forest, the elves developed a habit of never lifting their feet when walking, and dragging the ground to walk. ”

"Poof. Lina imagined the graceful elf walking on the ground, couldn't help laughing, covered her mouth and asked, "It's too exaggerated, it's really fake." ”

"Fake, of course. Pannis shrugged unscrupulously, "The elves actually have a way of discovering them, but I can't learn how to learn them." ”

Vivien's body shook, and her hand, which was writing quickly in the notebook, suddenly stopped, and she stabbed the tip of the pen on Pannis's thigh a few times before she crossed out the lines of the record under Pannis's complaining gaze that she couldn't cry out in pain.

The sword-bladed lizard slowly crawled out, slowly shook off the dirt on its body, slowly crawled to the prey, lowered its head and sniffed, and licked the blood on the ground with satisfaction, then opened its mouth wide, bit on the prey's belly, vigorously tore off a piece of meat, and chewed hard.

"Bladed lizards eat a lot of food. Pannis said, "It's estimated that such a big monster is only enough for it to eat." However, after it is full, it will not starve to death if it does not eat for a month, in fact, it is still very economical in this calculation. How about Catherine, envy, if you also have such a ability, it is estimated that the food expenses can at least ...... Hey, don't do this, you'll be discovered by the Warcraft. ”

"Don't be afraid of death. Catherine quietly put away the knight's sword, and climbed forward a few steps to Pannis's side: "When are we leaving, and when are we going to finish eating?"

"Actually, no, the bladed lizard that appears on the ground is almost dangerous, and it will definitely not take the initiative to attack the enemy on the ground if it is not pressed. Pannis said, "So we can go now." ”

"Then ...... Wait a minute. Catherine suddenly said, "What did it find?"

The sword-bladed lizard, which was struggling to eat, suddenly raised its head vigilantly, looked around vigilantly, looked around for a while, and suddenly turned around a few times in a frenzied manner, as if it wanted to escape but couldn't find its direction. After a few turns, he dug into the ground like crazy, and in a few seconds he re-entered the ground, and the soil layer on the ground quickly returned to its original state, and there was no trace of the excavation again.

Silence returned to the forest, but it didn't last long. Soon, there was a rustling sound from all around. After a while, more than twenty demonic beasts that looked a little like puppies, but were smaller than small dogs, and had a single horn on their heads, poked their heads out of the woods.

The puppy-like monster sniffed in the air and let out a low whimper, and a group of 'puppies' immediately rushed out of the woods, first running to the location where the bladed lizard was originally lurking, but soon found that there was nothing there, and immediately turned the target to its current location.

The 'puppy' was the first to walk to the place where the swordblade lizard was hiding again, and slashed into the ground, whimpering again. The rest of the 'puppies' shook their bodies neatly when they heard the command, and then spread out to surround the location of the swordblade lizard.

"Look at the ground. Pannis suddenly said in surprise: "Look closely, very small target." ”

If you look closely, after the puppies have shaken their bodies, small insects that are almost imperceptible to the naked eye continue to crawl out of their hair, and one by one they crawl out of the puppies and gather straight to the location of the sword-bladed lizards. I don't know how they did it, but it was clear that the insects easily burrowed into the thick dirt and disappeared to the surface.

Soon, a miserable scream sounded from the ground, and the sword-bladed lizard screamed and dug through the soil and rushed to the surface, and without thinking about escaping, it began to wail and roll on the ground, rubbing the ground hard as it rolled, as if trying to relieve the itch in its body. However, the excellent stratum corneum on its body shattered its hopes, and no matter how much it rubbed it, the itch on its body could not be relieved to any extent.

The puppies in a circle let out an excited cry, and one puppy jumped near the lizard's head, spewing a cloud of mist from the top corner of the head, and immediately jumped back to its original position when it saw the mist enveloping the lizard's head, followed by the second one, and spewed the same mist. More than twenty 'puppies' continued to spray mist in a loop, and the shrouded sword-bladed lizard rolled slower and slower, and its strength became weaker and weaker, until in the end, it could only convulse and collapse to the ground, and there was no more movement.

The leader of the 'puppy' whimpered again, celebrating the simple victory, and the rest of the 'puppy' burst out with a force completely disproportionate to their size, and easily combined forces to lift the hundreds of kilograms of sword-bladed lizard, and quickly disappeared into the forest against the lizard.

"This is ......" Vivien's pen tip hesitated for a moment in her notebook: "This is symbiosis." ”

"It's supposed to be symbiosis. Pannis nodded: "The bugs may be sucking the blood of this group of demonic beasts, or maybe they are sharing prey, but they will assist this group of demonic beasts in hunting." It should be used to use the too subtle characteristics of the insect itself, drill into the crevices of the cuticle on the sword-bladed lizard, crawl and gnaw on the skin or muscle surface under the cuticle, so that the prey loses its combat effectiveness due to itching, and then the monster spews paralyzing poisonous gas to paralyze the prey and complete the hunt. ”

"Very interesting symbiotic system. Vivien closed the notebook with satisfaction: "This harvest is really not small. ”

"Funny hell. Lina rubbed her arms together and said in disgust: "Hurry up, hurry up, I don't want to deal with this group of guys anymore, it's dense, and I feel uncomfortable when I think about it." ”

"Let's go. Pannis said to Elard, "It's dangerous, but we'll keep going, so please lead the way." ”
