Liu Zheng took the tablet and looked at the screen.

In the screen, it is supposed to be a picture taken from the air with a drone.

I saw a huge gap in the mountain forest below, a sinkhole like a bottomless pit, it was like an abyssal mouth, swallowing everything.

"Check it out here."

Liu Zheng tapped his fingers lightly on the screen.

"Yes."

After Chen Lu answered, she took out the walkie-talkie and asked the convoy to divert and go to the sinkhole in the safety zone.

When he came to the neighborhood, Liu Zheng already had a basic understanding of the situation of the gold digger team that had an accident.

The gold digger team had a complex team of members, a lot of them, and quite good weapons and equipment.

Among the registered teams in the Red Moon Base, their overall strength is quite good, and every time they enter the forbidden land, they have a profit.

Among them, the core members are Lao Gao, Zhao Xing, Wang Guofu, etc.

In addition, there are a dozen or twenty temporary members.

This is the case with gold prospectors' groups, consisting of core members as well as some temporary members.

Many of the temporary members work together once or twice before breaking up, and usually don't stay in a team for long.

Therefore, in the event of danger, these temporary members must be the first to give up, or even use them as substitutes.

Therefore, in many gold digger groups, the mortality rate of temporary members is the highest, and there are not many cases where core members and temporary members die completely this time.

Chirping!

The wheels rubbed against the ground, causing the car to pause and stop.

Liu Zheng opened the car door, got out of the car, and then walked forward with the members of the investigation team.

It didn't take long for them to come to the edge of the sinkhole, where weeds had grown, and the over-exuberant vitality of the forbidden land was evident.

Looking into the sinkhole, it was pitch black below, and I didn't know how deep it was.

But the space inside should not be small, standing on the edge, Liu Zheng can feel the air flow rising from below.

"Flares."

Liu Zheng gestured.

The members of the investigation team fired flares into the pit, and a few points of silver flew into the air, then fell into the pit, and a moment later it shone brightly, illuminating the inside.

As Liu Zheng expected, it was a huge space inside, and it was not naturally generated, because the edges were relatively flat.

At this time, Chen Lu made a 'huh' sound, pointed to the bottom and said, "Boss, there seems to be the wreckage of the vehicle below." ”

Liu Zheng also saw it, nodded and said, "Let's go, go down and have a look." ”

Using speed skating equipment, they quickly reached the bottom, and preliminary estimates showed that the depth of the crater was more than 80 meters.

Coming to the bottom of the giant pit, Liu Zheng turned on the searchlight of his helmet and found that there was a passage underneath, and the passage extended forward, I don't know how long.

He and Chen Lu glanced at each other, and the latter turned around and asked the team members to take out various devices to scan the space and build a model in the computer.

Liu Zheng himself came to the wreckage of the car, which was a truck that had been badly deformed and looked as if it had fallen into a mixer.

Of course, he couldn't think of any blender that could swallow a truck.

In addition, on the surface of the wreckage, there are traces of corrosion and gnawing of the metal.

"Behemoths?"

Chen Lu walked over at this time and asked questions.

Liu Zheng nodded: "It's possible." ”

"Chief, there's a discovery."

There was a member of the investigation team shouting in front.

Liu Zheng took Chen Lu over, only to see a few flares fired by several members of the investigation team in front of him, and by the light, he saw all kinds of car wreckage scattered on the ground, as well as twisted and broken corpses.

The corpses are no longer indistinguishable from their human form, and can only be judged by the parts of them that have survived, such as half a human face and an arm, that the corpses belong to humans.

Of course, clothes are also one of the evidences.

In addition to this, there are deformed weapons, badly damaged equipment, and more.

"It seems that the team of gold diggers who have been wiped out is here."

"Obviously, they were attacked by giant beasts, and no one survived."

"The behemoth that attacked them left, and in this direction..."

Liu Zheng looked at the deep passage, frowned, took out his mobile phone and turned on the compass, compared the position below: "If the direction of the giant beast's departure does not change, it will be going to our Penglai." ”

As he had just said, several investigators from behind him came up and handed Chen Lu a tablet.

After reading it, Chen Lu looked nervous and found Liu Zheng: "Boss, look at this." ”

Liu Zheng took the tablet, and on the screen, the channel model had been established, and judging from the path, it was really going straight to Penglai.

And, through instrument scanning, the investigation team found that there was not only one passage, but just around here, in addition to the current one, there were two.

The other two passages came from the depths of the Forbidden Lands, coming from different directions, and finally extending to the same place.

Penglai City!

"Behemoths rarely act together, and even if they form herds, there's a reason."

"But this invasion, not only did the giant beasts of the forbidden land pour out, but also the lyreworms participated."

"But I don't understand why the lyreworm is attacking our dungeon."

Liu Zheng put down the tablet and said, "As the overlord, the qin insect has a high level of intelligence, and it will not attack the dungeon for no reason. ”

"Either there's something in the dungeon that attracts it, or there's some other behemoth driving it."

The inference of the latter is based on the theory of the sociology of behemoths.

Behemoths have a distinct social structure, similar to some of the social structures of ant colonies, in that they all share the concept of upper and lower classes.

The upper layer drives the lower layer.

So if you can drive the hegemon, it may be a nightmare for the higher classes.

Chen Lu frowned and said, "There is nothing in the dungeon that attracts them..."

She stopped suddenly.

Then he looked at Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng also said in a deep voice: "Artificial giant beast! ”

"If there's something that attracts them, it's the only explanation for it."

"But this explanation is still very far-fetched, a man-made giant beast, will it really attract the attention of the overlord?"

Chen Lu said solemnly: "But if it's not an artificial giant beast, it's not that there is something in the dungeon that attracts them, or that there is a higher-level giant beast driving the piano worm, is there a nightmare level here?" ”

"Is that possible?"

Liu Zheng shook his head: "I don't know." ”

"Normally, the Nightmare class will have its own territory and will not run to the territory of other giant beasts."

"But this was the previous theory, and now that even the heavenly ghosts have appeared, I won't find it strange if anything else happens."

"Let's go, let's go up first."

Soon they returned to the ground, and Liu Zheng planned to investigate in the forbidden land, but it was not early now, so he set up a camp nearby and prepared to investigate again tomorrow.

Night.

Chen Lu was taking a shower in the car, when a green snake as small as an earthworm swam in through the car window.

The thing looked around with its pinhole-sized eyeballs, and finally swam into the clothes that Chen Lu hung on the wall.
