"Don't you think it's strange?" Isabel said suddenly, "What kind of power can make a little praying mantis so huge?"

Sophia's footsteps couldn't help but pause: "You mean ......"

"Star crystals?" Gordon showed a shocked look, before they had only noticed the terrifying nature of the giant mantis, but they didn't think about anything else, and now they were inspired by Isabel and they all reacted at once. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After the cataclysm, many beasts have mutated, but the degree of mutation is not the same, just take the rats as an example, some rats have become as big as a basin, and some rats have surpassed the size of mammoths, because there is a huge difference in the strength of the source power they absorb.

To turn a small praying mantis into a behemoth should definitely not be the power of a star fragment!

Only star crystals can make such a huge change in the praying mantis, however, star crystals are rare treasures that can be encountered but not sought, because star crystals cannot form mining areas, and may be so lonely and mixed in the pile of rubble, extremely difficult to find.

Everyone stopped, looking at each other, should they continue walking, or should they search around for the traces left by the giant praying mantis?

"Why did you stop?" said Dio softly, "Go! whatever is here, we must at least protect ourselves first." ”

Only then did everyone take another step, and after a moment, Gordon hesitated and said, "This is the territory of the Grand Duke of Montenegro, if there is really a star crystal, they should have discovered it a long time ago." ”

"Don't forget our mines. Raymond said, "How many times has the Chriss Plains been turned over by adventurers? Now that it has been abandoned, have we found the best star fragments?"

"You don't have a brain!" Gordon said angrily, "When we see that giant praying mantis, can we think that there may be star crystals nearby, and others will find out, can't we think of it?"

"By the way, Dio, where is the body of that giant mantis?" Hearing Gordon's words, Raymond suddenly thought of something: "Can those warriors of the Grand Duke of Montenegro find out?"

"Even if you find out...... They don't recognize it, either. Dio said slowly, when he left the natural asphalt pool, the giant mantis was covered in asphalt, and most of its body was sunk into the pool, and it was impossible for the warriors of the Grand Duke of Montenegro to recognize what kind of animal it was.

"Gordon, have you ever heard of this kind of praying mantis in the forests of the Duchy of Montenegro before?" asked Isabel as she walked.

Gordon was stunned and replied, "I haven't heard of this before......"

"It's also possible that the giant mantis has just completed its mutation. Isabel thought for a moment and said something that made the others frustrated: "It's still possible that it has exhausted the power of the star crystal. ”

"I feel...... That giant praying mantis shouldn't be here. Raymond said suddenly.

"It's been here anyway, so we can remember the general direction and try our luck when we come back later." Isabel said.

"You still want to come?" asked Raymond in surprise.

"Why don't you come?" asked Isabel, somewhat puzzled.

Raymond shrugged his shoulders and didn't speak, in his imagination, this journey must have become a nightmare for the delicate Isabelle, and now he can grit his teeth and persevere, just because he doesn't want to drag everyone down, and when he returns to Santis City, Isabel will definitely give up those unrealistic dreams and enjoy a peaceful life.

Now it seems that he has taken Isabel in a little disdain...... Everyone chatted and hurried away, and in the blink of an eye, it was dusk, and although the sun was still hanging on the edge of the sky, and it had not yet completely set, the forest had become very dark.

Xue Ni looked up at the same dark sky and said softly, "It's going to snow." ”

"Snow?" Theo looked at Cherney's line of sight, "Can you guarantee it?"

"We samurai are sensitive to this kind of weather change. Sophia smiled on the side: "Xue Ni said that it was going to snow, then it will definitely snow." ”

"Let's hurry up. Dio said, "Xueni, how long will this snow last?"

"I don't know. Xue Ni shook her head.

Dio was just about to speak, when he saw Laura turn around and look intently behind her, under normal circumstances, Laura always had a silly smile on her face, and it was rare to see her so serious.

"Laura, what's wrong?" asked Dio.

"Back...... People ......," Laura said with difficulty.

Dio frowned, his pace gradually slowed down, and he smiled bitterly: "It's a headache...... Chasing so closely, they are really fighters who are not afraid of hardship and tiredness. ”

"Dio, what are you still standing for? Hurry up!" said Isabel. Although Isabel seems to be indifferent on the surface, she has been blaming herself in her heart, and she knows that it is because of herself that she has slowed everyone down.

"We can't leave. Gordon said softly, he had done a lot of dangerous things with Raymond, and had far more experience than Isabel, who rarely went out of Santis, and he had already made a judgment when Laura gave a warning.

"yes. Raymond nodded slowly: "We still have to find a good path to follow, those guys just need to follow the traces we left behind, this can't go on, maybe after a while, they will be able to catch up with us." ”

"Dio, be careful. Sophia said softly.

This time is different from fighting against the giant mantis at noon, suddenly facing a battle, the warriors of each department should take their own duties, Raymond rushed up to block the giant mantis, Gordon attacked, Xueni and Dio fought together on the flank, but Dio carried all the burden alone, which is also the fundamental reason why Raymond and others blame themselves deeply.

Now, the chasing soldiers are approaching, and Dio, as a wind warrior, should stay behind and contain the enemy's actions as much as possible, so everyone's expressions are quite calm, and if they change others, they will not return.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. Dio smiled and said, "It's impossible to keep me, unless they have a Wind Martial Venerable, but ......"

"But if they had a Wind Martial Venerable, they would have chased after them a long time ago. Isabel said.

"That's right. Dio said, "Go quickly, don't waste time, and be sure to hold on until after the snow, hoping that this heavy snow will cover up the traces we have left behind." ”

"And can you still find us?" asked Raymond.

"It may take some effort in the evening, but tomorrow after dawn I will be able to catch up with you. Theo said.

"Let's go. Raymond said sullenly.

Seeing the figures disappear into the darkness one by one, Dio's figure floated up and landed on a branch, and he sat down slowly, his feet swaying back and forth, looking very relaxed.

In fact, Dio is not worried about himself, with the strength he has now, among the middle and low-level powerhouses, the only nemesis is the higher-order Wind Martial Zun, and other Martial Masters can't hurt him, can he escape if he can't beat him.

After about half an hour, a group of samurai with torches were rapidly approaching this direction, and although he didn't mind revealing his position, he was always there swinging his feet leisurely, but his aura had already melted with the cold wind surging in the forest, and it was extremely difficult to detect.

200 meters...... 100 meters...... The warriors were less than a dozen meters away from Dio, and in a few moments, they would pass under Dio's feet.

Dio had to speak: "Guys, aren't you really tired?"

Those people were all elite warriors under the command of the Grand Duke of Montenegro, with strict discipline and tacit cooperation, although they were the same as Dio and others, they hardly rested along the way, but everyone maintained strong energy, and did not complain, at most in a hurry, chatting and laughing softly with their companions.

And the voice made by Dio was too sudden, the group of warriors looked very surprised, and then immediately put up a battle column, two earth-based warriors released a rock guard, and suddenly came to the forefront, the fire-type warriors were in the center, searching for the place where the sound came from, and two wind-type warriors immediately disappeared into the dense forest on both wings and disappeared without a trace.

When they saw that Dio was alone, they were relieved, and then their expressions were somewhat annoyed, because their reaction was too great.

"You two, grab that guy!" shouted the fat man in the center.

As soon as the fat man's words fell, two black shadows pounced out of the dense forest, approaching Dio at a very fast speed, and when they were in mid-air, they released more than a dozen wind blades one after another, shooting towards Dio like lightning.

Dio has experienced Vasily's special training, his eyesight is much stronger than before, the wind blade is still flying in the air, he has already judged the coming of the wind blade, none of the wind blades can hit him, it seems that the other party just wants to cut off his retreat, want to catch alive? Dio wanted to launch a counterattack, but at this moment he changed his mind and still sat there with a smile.

Seeing that Dio was motionless, the two wind warriors were a little stunned, but this did not affect their speed, and in the blink of an eye, they had landed on the trunks of the trees from the left and right, their eyes staring at Dio.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm here to negotiate with you. Dio laughed.

The two wind warriors sneered in their hearts, but they also understood the reason why Dio did not run away and did not resist, one of the warriors stepped forward, grabbed the back of Dio's neck, and shouted, "Get up for me!"

Dio remained unmoved, and was picked up like a chicken by the warrior.

Another wind warrior immediately approached, and the two of them grabbed Dio's left and right hands respectively and twisted them behind their backs, and at this moment, they felt a tingling pain in their palms, as if they had been pricked by thousands of steel needles, and the next moment, they saw a dazzling white scorching brilliance.

The two wind blades surging with thunder light exploded in Dio's palms, and the rapidly expanding arc of electricity condensed into a ball, completely enveloping the voices of Dio and the two wind warriors.

If Dio had approached and released the Wind Blade, the two samurai would always have some chance to dodge, but this kind of human bomb would have made them unable to guard against it.
