As Dio and others go deeper, the branches of the forest are getting denser and denser, if you don't want to bother to remove these obstacles, you can only bend down to pass, at this time the role of the roaring beast is reflected, it originally lived in the hinterland of the desert, and can move freely on the soft sand, the complex terrain in the forest is useless for the roaring beast, and the body is tall enough, the skin is thick and thick, the roaring beast walks in front, where it passes, those tangled trees, The vines were all easily broken, and Theo only needed to pay attention to the broken branches, saving a lot of effort.

There is no point in hiding the traces at the moment, even if Dio and these people can deal with the footprints on the ground, they can't let the broken branches grow again, so Dio and the others don't have the idea of going around in circles with the pursuers behind, just straight forward.

"Dio, how big is this damn forest?" Raymond scratched as he walked, "I'd go crazy if I walked here for a month." ”

"Are you normal?" said Gordon, scoffing.

Raymond glared angrily: "Lao Tzu didn't talk to you again!"

"It's really embarrassing for you, you still have the strength to quarrel. Dio was a little speechless: "The current situation is quite good, so let's use all our strength on the road, and it is better to get out before the snow falls." ”

"What's wrong with the snow?" asked Raymond curiously.

"I hope it doesn't snow, you'll know when the time comes. ”

"If you don't say it, you don't say it. Raymond pursed his lips, but the next moment, he gloated: "By the way, Dio, you said that Merlin has been following us?"

"Not necessarily, maybe it's following the pursuers, why are you asking this?"

"Ah, that's pathetic. Raymond pretended to sigh: "We can at least talk to each other and relieve loneliness, and he, who is so old and cold, not only has to travel alone, but also is responsible for monitoring those people, what do you say he is trying to do?"

"Can you have a little conscience?" Dio glared at Raymond: "Morin is here to protect us, with him, as long as the people who catch up are not too strong, our lives are not in danger." ”

"Who did he protect? Mo Fei won't talk about it that time, everyone is fine anyway, but the two-headed snake that time, if it weren't for the catboy's power, would Laura still be able to stand here?" Raymond said dissatisfiedly, in short, he just didn't like Morin, if the conditions permitted, he didn't mind teaching that old guy a lesson, making you pretend to be mysterious, and letting you stand by...... Dio laughed, and it turned out that it was because of this Raymond that he had been haunting him.

"What are you laughing at? Am I not right?"

Although a cold wind blew into his mouth as soon as he opened his mouth, it was very uncomfortable, but Dio still felt the need to enlighten Raymond: "If Laura really had an accident, I wouldn't forgive him, but since the matter has passed, what are you still doing with such a trivial matter?" Actually, I don't think Morin did anything wrong, but your thinking has entered a misunderstanding, he has no responsibility and obligation to protect us, if you can treat him as a stranger, I'm afraid you won't think like this, right?"

"It may be that he thinks of Morin as his seventeenth sister, oh no, it's seventeenth brother-in-law...... No, Maureen is too old...... Raymond, how old is your eldest sister?" Before the words fell, Gordon jumped to the side, and with a bang, cracks appeared in the place where he was standing, and his strength was like a knife, cutting off the stumps all over the ground.

Dio hurriedly stopped Raymond, who was pale: "Gordon, can't you say a few words?"

"Dio, you're not fair, why didn't you stand up for me when you teased me yesterday?" Gordon stood far away, looking at Raymond warily, ready to run away.

"Because I was making fun of you back then. Dio's answer was so succinct that everyone laughed, and Gordon's expression became so wonderful that he couldn't say a word.

Dio and the others were desperate at the beginning, always paying attention to all the suspicious sounds around them, and after a long time, everyone was not so nervous, although they had always slowed down, their mentality had changed a lot, this is not to say that they lowered their vigilance, but they learned how to regulate their emotions, the nerves collapsed too tightly, it will be broken, only by maintaining a peaceful mind, can we make the right choice at the critical moment.

So on the surface, Dio and his party were as relaxed as if they were traveling, not fleeing.

At noon, Theo and the others were trying to find a place to rest for a while and eat something, when they suddenly saw a steaming mist in the distance through the gap in the trees, this situation was obviously a bit abnormal, of course there was fog in the forest, the problem was that it was noon, it was the time when the temperature in the forest was the highest, and there were wisps of sunlight falling down, and no matter how big the fog was, it could not withstand the sun.

The first reaction of everyone was to look at Laura, Laura in the forest was like a powerful radar, none of the demon beasts within a radius of several hundred meters could escape her perception, it can be said that Dio's group was still very lucky, there were roaring beasts in front of them to open the way, and Laura reminded them to bypass the territory of large demon beasts at any time, and they barely encountered any trouble along the way.

Laura felt it for a while, smiled, and everyone immediately put their hearts down, which means that there is no demon beast in front, and even if there is, the strength will not be very strong, otherwise Laura would not react like this.

It didn't take long for everyone to approach the mist, and in front of them was a large depression, with a clear spring in the middle, and the mist was steaming up from the water, and dozens of leopards of different sizes were lazily lying near the spring, or walking back and forth, and a few small leopards were rolling together and fighting for something.

Everyone glanced at each other, Sophia's faces showed joy, it was obvious that this was a hot spring, after walking through the forest for so many days, they were not afraid of suffering and cold, the only thing they couldn't bear was the problem of cleaning, it can be said that their biggest dream now is to take a comfortable hot bath, and this hot spring in front of them just meets their needs.

Looking at the eyes of Sophia and the others, Dio knew what they were thinking, but it didn't matter, anyway, the strength of the forest leopard was not terrifying, although it was stronger than the Steppenwolf, but it was also very limited, and it must not be delayed for long.

But just when Dio wanted to beckon everyone to do it, his eyes suddenly froze, and his gaze fell on a puddle of blood on the hollow ground, this kind of hot spring is naturally a place for all kinds of beasts to fight, and it is normal for conflicts to occur, but the key thing is that the puddle of blood is actually green, and Dio can't think of any animal whose blood is this weird color.

The location of Dio and the others was still dozens of meters away from the hot spring, and they were in the upper hand, so those forest leopards did not notice the existence of these people, Dio beckoned Laura to come over, and then pointed out the pool of blood to Laura, and asked softly: "Is there any danger?"

Laura took a closer look, a puzzled look on her face, apparently she hadn't seen the animal either.

In fact, there is no need for Dio to be so careful, no matter what kind of animal it is, the blood on the ground is enough to explain its fate, but for some reason, the uneasy feeling in Dio's heart lingers.

At this time, Laura suddenly covered her mouth, almost exclaimed, and looked fixedly in the direction of the hot spring, with an incredible expression.

Everyone followed Laura's gaze, and their reactions were surprisingly unanimous, and they were all stunned, and several small forest leopards were tearing the corpse of an animal on the hollow, and everyone didn't care too much, but after seeing what it was, they all couldn't believe it, it was actually a praying mantis with a length of about one meter, and it had been torn to pieces by those small forest leopards at the moment.

There is no doubt that a praying mantis that can grow to this extent must be a demon beast, but what makes Dio and the others puzzled is how it could not be the opponent of the forest leopard?

A sharp hiss suddenly sounded in the forest, like a thunderbolt, Laura's face suddenly changed greatly, while signaling Dio and the others not to move, while lying on the ground tightly, everyone hurriedly did the same.

The forest leopards near the hot springs all stood up uneasily, roaring desperately in the direction from which the sound came, but their actions looked more like they were cheering themselves up, and no matter how you look at it, they have a smell of stubble.

With a low humming sound and a loud clicking sound when a tree snapped, a giant praying mantis more than two meters tall and four meters long appeared in everyone's sight.

The giant praying mantis flew over the hot springs, saw the corpse on the ground at a glance, and suddenly let out a terrible hiss, leaving a pale green afterimage in the air, and plunged straight into the forest leopard group, blood splashed, an unequal killing began, no forest leopard is the enemy of the giant mantis, the forefoot nearly three meters long seems to be two huge sickles, every swing will bring up a puddle of blood, the cut down forest leopard didn't even have time to scream, and lay in a pool of blood with a different head.

Dio and the others looked at all this in amazement, it's too exaggerated, right? Such a big praying mantis, let alone seeing, has never even heard of it, watching the giant mantis chopping melons and vegetables as neatly dismembering a forest leopard, everyone can't help but feel a chill in their hearts, such a guy is probably much more difficult to deal with than the two-headed python.

Soon, the forest leopards knew one thing, they were definitely not the opponent of this giant mantis, so they chose to flee very wisely, but it was very unfortunate that several forest leopards fled in the direction where Dio and the others were located, and the terrifying giant mantis was chasing after them......
