Quercus found a corpse in the swamp area, and everyone didn't dare to move forward blindly, lying on the sand dunes in the distance and observing for a long time, but there was no movement, and finally the man sent a few illusory soldiers to test it, and seeing that they were not attacked, everyone cautiously entered the swamp area,

The group first came to the swampy wetland where the body was found before the oak forest, this corpse was dressed in a dark robe, almost integrated with the surrounding environment, if it weren't for the sharp eyes of the tree forest and the careful investigation before because of the fear of being attacked, and the corpse was still lying on the periphery of the swamp area, it would have almost been missed,

The man stepped forward directly to investigate the body soaked in the water, and the remaining three people were stationed on the periphery in three directions, and if they encountered any situation, they could notify each other as soon as possible, so as not to fall into passivity at once.

The swampy area is basically low shrubs, the entire surface is covered under stagnant water, only a small part of the land is exposed to the water, the whole is very muddy, and there are many silt pits hidden in the water, if you are not careful, you will fall into it.

At first, Quercus was still trying to clean up the mud that was sticking on the soles and legs of his shoes, but after a few steps, it would be full again, so he simply gave up the cleaning work, and let the mud stick to himself, which greatly affected his actions.

After probing around, he didn't find anything special, and when he returned to the place before, the man had finished examining the body and was beckoning everyone to come over.

"It's a fourth-order intermediate crystallist, he hasn't been dead for long, and the scars on his body are very strange, not like being injured by crystallography or sharp weapons, but more like the marks of being bitten by a beast" The man threw a crystal ring that could prove his identity from the corpse, and Zarin noticed that in addition to the four crystals inlaid on the ring, the crystals were also wrapped with a complex rune outlined by Mithril, which was the mark of a fourth-order intermediate crystallist, but there was no specific crystallization attribute on the ring,

"Is it the shadow beast from before?" Zarin heard the man say that this crystallist was bitten by a beast before his death, and naturally thought of the unique creature in the black box that almost drove his group into a desperate situation before,

"No, it shouldn't be, although there are indeed some traces of being bitten by wild beasts on this corpse, but the specific fatal wound is that someone has broken the cervical vertebrae, and there is no trace of battle around, it is completely crushed by one-sided, I speculate that he was caught by an individual or group with strong combat effectiveness, and was forced to ask what and then tortured and killed, and the scars on his body should have been left when he was tortured" The man looked at the crystal ring that he had thrown around, thought for a moment that it was useless to his group, turned around and put it back to the corpse and let it continue to stay with its master,

"So cruel?" Zha Lin felt uncomfortable when he heard the man's words, although he had seen the scene of killing people and stealing goods with his own eyes before, but he still regarded this matter as a game-like thing in his heart, after all, he heard the black brother say that even if he couldn't get the black box in the end, it wouldn't be good, but he didn't expect that even so, the competition was still so fierce, and he didn't hesitate to start using this method against others,

"It's not mercenary outlaws who come here, or people like us who come for some kind of inevitable purpose, there is no so-called good stubble in this group of people, after all, in the end, only one of these eight teams can get the black box to win and achieve their goals, what kind of means everyone will use is not excessive, don't underestimate the determination of human beings to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals, and the most terrible thing in the world is always the human heart" After the man finished talking to Zhulin, he turned around and left Zhulin to think by himself, and also to explore the surroundings,

Just as the oak forest fell into deep thought, Yingying next to him pulled the corner of the oak forest's clothes to interrupt his thinking, and then pointed to a position behind the oak forest, and the tree forest looked in the direction that Yingying pointed to, and behind a well-hidden bush, he once again found the same metal platform as he had seen in the rainforest area before,

With a new discovery, Quercus hurriedly beckoned everyone to go over, and then took the lead in pulling Yingying to the edge of the metal platform, and there was a shrine in the center of the metal platform that was no different from the one he had seen before, Quercus climbed up the metal platform from the knee-deep muddy water, and found the footprints full of mud on the platform at a glance, it seems that it has been taken first, and looking at the distribution direction of the footprints, his group is not even the second group of people who arrived here, and I don't know whether it is the third group or the fourth group,

After a while, the man and the black-skinned brother also came to the platform, looking at the empty shrine, the man spread his hands like everyone, "This at least proves my previous guess, there will probably be such a shrine in each area, enshrined in that kind of key-like thing, that means there are about six of these things, it is estimated that the team that gathered six keys in the end took them to the pyramid in the center, not to mention that they could directly get the black box, it is estimated that it is also a strong clue."

"Then it's clear now, we have two things to do now, the first is to explore the remaining area to collect the key, and the second is to take the key to the pyramid in the center of the desert area" The black-skinned brother summed up the man's words,

"No, I guess we don't have to explore other areas anymore, the first six entrances should correspond to the six areas in front of us, plus the deliberate guidance of the black box, the team that entered here should have collected all the keys in their own area, what happened in the desert just now and the corpse should be caused by several other teams who have discovered the secret of the key and are competing for the key with each other" The man thought for a moment, and then said to everyone,

"There is still plenty of time, we can't join the battlefield in advance, in short, since we already know what to do, let's leave here first, this area is not very safe, it will be destroyed by the black box at any time, it is not advisable to stay for a long time, let's retreat into the desert first."

Following the man's advice, several people returned to the edge of the desert again, they had not been rested for more than a whole day, plus the previous battle, several people were all exhausted at this time, and after a few people decided to rest here first, by the way, wait to see the development of the situation, according to the man's inference, this desert area will at least not be destroyed by the black box before the last twelve hours come, and the edge of the desert is relatively safe, and there is still plenty of time for everyone to rest in between,

Because the forest has not yet recovered from the extreme excitement, and he can't sleep at this time, he took the initiative to stand on the first shift for everyone first, and then it didn't take long for the sound of nursery rhymes to sound in his ears again, and darkness once again descended into the black box world.
