Chapter 52: Squad Strife

Liang Hui, Meng Ziyue, Mu Ling'er, and Qin Zhen, who were equipped with messengers, began to step into the stone forest according to the previously agreed formation.

Lu Yuan, as the role of the queen of the palace, slowly followed in the rear.

Although Lu Yuan is the so-called leading teacher, he basically will not interfere in the actions of the members of the Exploration Society, and will only give a helping hand when necessary and critical.

When discussing the formation before, Liang Hui directly said that he would take the lead. The aim is to maximize the effect of the omniscient eye.

As long as Liang Hui is aware of the camouflage of the spirit beast, then he will adjust the team's forward route as soon as possible to ensure the safety of the team.

Although Meng Ziyue, Mu Ling'er and Qin Zhen didn't understand why Liang Hui wanted to come out like this, considering the difference in strength between the four of them, they felt that there was nothing wrong with such an arrangement.

Just imagine, there are strong people in the front and rear, and they are in the middle, isn't it equivalent to being guarded?

The entrance to the stone forest is relatively quiet, there are no spirit animals to hide, and most of the explorers will be separated here.

For example, with Liang Hui and them, most of the explorers who came here on the Nanyue Guild Flying Machine, most of them chose a certain direction and left.

The choice of the south was decided by Liang Hui and them in combination with the distribution of spirit beasts given by Lei Tao, and there were more spirit beasts inhabiting this direction.

Generally, explorers choose to start exploring from areas where spirit beasts are less distributed, but Liang Hui is different.

In themselves, they are here to collect information about spirit beasts, and they are bound to intersect with a large number of spirit beasts.

If you start probing from a place where there are few spirit animals, isn't that tantamount to wasting their time?

The more places where spirit beasts gather in large numbers, the more likely it is to find information about that guardian!

After walking about a few hundred meters along the south, Liang Hui's omniscient eye finally reacted.

"Name: Stone Statue

Attributes: Rock

Grade: Grow

Five dimensions: Health, 100, Energy, 80, Attack, 80, Defense, 110, Speed, 60

Qualification: Rare

Master skills: falling rocks, boulder crashes, throwing, surrounding rocks

Natal Skill: Rock Solid (By manipulating the spiritual power of the rock attribute, you can double your defense and reduce your speed by one-third!) )”

This is a rock-attribute spirit beast disguised as a stone pinnacle, a stone statue! Perhaps because of the result of long-term camouflage, from the outside, he is very similar to the surrounding stone peaks, both of them are thick and stout at the bottom, and the top is like a pinnacle.

Liang Hui immediately stopped, and motioned to Mencius Yue for them to bypass the stone statue's attack range from the side.

Although the level of this stone statue is not high, it can definitely be defeated by gathering the power of Liang Hui, Meng Ziyue, Mu Ling'er and Qin Zhen.

But his defense ability is high, and his natal skill is a move to improve his defense, which is equivalent to fighting a turtle shell, and the efficiency must be very low.

It is impossible for Liang Hui to do such a time-wasting thing!

After all, in Liang Hui's opinion, although there are 10,000 credits awarded for this expedition, it is not worth investing too much time.

If this task is delayed for more than ten days and half a month, it will be too much of a loss.

Gathering information is an extremely tedious task in itself, so avoid unnecessary battles as much as possible!

"Why bypass? Isn't it almost time to go straight down like this to the gathering place of the stone ape spirit beasts that Teacher Lei Tao said? ”

Mencius's ability to remember is not only reflected in reading, but also in memorization.

Lei Tao only mentioned the gathering place of the spirit beast group once, and he basically figured out the location.

On top of that, he also has a strong sense of direction! A stone forest like this, even if the area is twice as large, he can easily enter and exit.

He questioned Liang Hui at this time, in fact, it was also based on the information given by Lei Tao before, and there was nothing wrong with it.

"There happens to be a spirit beast disguised as Shi Feng over there, and if you continue to walk, it will inevitably be attacked, so I chose to avoid it!"

Liang Hui immediately gave his own explanation. But such an explanation apparently did not convince Mencius.

"I don't see any camouflaged spirit beasts out there! Mu Linger and Qin Zhen, do you see it? ”

Not everyone has omniscient eyes, and not everyone can easily see the disguise of a spirit animal! Since the stone statue itself is made of a large number of stones, it is difficult to tell the difference between it and the surrounding stone pinnacles from its appearance!

In addition, he has been disguised for a long time and has almost assimilated the relationship with his surroundings, so it is really difficult for ordinary beast masters to see.

When he looked at Mu Ling'er and Qin Zhen and shook their heads to say that they didn't see the disguise of a spirit beast, Liang Hui knew that there must be trouble next.

Liang Hui is absolutely unwilling to expose the matter of omniscience, so he can't give a reasonable explanation.

"Liang Hui! Your combat power is indeed the strongest among us, but when it comes to knowledge about spirit beasts, you are not as good as us! Although it is a common thing for spirit beasts to disguise themselves as other things and try to hide their body shape, after all, no matter how strong the disguise is, it is fake! ”

"You said there was a disguised spirit beast ahead, but we didn't see it! I think it's better to follow the route that I planned before! Now it's not you acting alone, I want you to think about the whole squad! ”

It was not that Meng Ziyue did not believe in Liang Hui, but believed in his own knowledge and judgment even more. In his opinion, there was no danger ahead, so he didn't want to change the direction of the investigation!

Liang Hui knew very well that if he wanted to convince Meng Ziyue, he could only come up with evidence! And if you want to prove that your judgment is right without revealing your omniscient eyes, you have to use some means!

"Since no one believes my judgment, I can prove it to you! However, I hope that you can unconditionally adhere to my judgment in all future actions! ”

If you're not afraid of god-like opponents, you're afraid of pig-like teammates! Liang Hui didn't care about Mencius Yue's questioning this time, but he hoped that everyone would listen to his judgment in the future, so he chose to say such things at such a time.

Lu Yuan, who was on the side, did not interject, but watched all this coldly.

For an expedition team, the whole team only needs one voice during the unknown expedition.

What Liang Hui is doing now is to twist the whole team into a ball, which is a process that every expedition team must go through.

Lu Yuan was very optimistic about Liang Hui and felt that his performance at this time could be the captain of this team, so he continued to watch the show.

What should an expedition team look like? Meng Ziyue, Mu Ling'er, and Qin Zhen didn't know, but they knew that if they couldn't speak out in the team, they would be controlled by others.

They don't want to be restricted in what they can do, especially in the wild, which would be tantamount to entrusting their lives to someone else's hands.

If this person is much stronger than them and has the strength to protect everyone, then they naturally dare not have an opinion.

But now this person is Liang Hui, even if Liang Hui's combat ability is stronger than them, it is not necessarily enough to protect them.

Therefore, whether it is Mencius Yue, Mu Ling'er, or Qin Zhen, they all want to fight for a little right to speak for themselves.

"We agree with you! As long as you can prove that what you said is true, and that there is indeed a disguised spirit beast ahead, then we will rely on your judgment in the future! ”

The three of them quickly gave a unified opinion, and this was exactly what Liang Hui wanted!

Liang Hui didn't summon a spirit beast, but took out an expulsion sachet from his spirit ring!

That's right, it's that special sachet made from the nasty smell of spirit animals!

This sachet is not only effective for spirit animals with noses, but also for those without noses. Because the smell of the sachet is also a special energy that can disturb the perception of the spirit animal.

I saw that Liang Hui threw the sachet around the stone statue disguised as Shi Feng, and then led the whole team to hide.

Little by little, the smell of the sachet spread, and the stone statue, which had been standing still, began to shake slightly, and it was accompanied by the fall of rubble from time to time.

It's moving! Shi Feng moved! Almost this shocking thought appeared in the minds of Mencius Yue, Mu Ling'er, Qin Zhen and Lu Yuan at the same time!

They didn't expect that Liang Hui's judgment was actually correct, and it could even be said to be accurate.

The place where the sachet was expelled was not too far from the stone statue, just at the edge of the attack range.

So this gives the stone statue the illusion that there is a nasty energy suddenly around it! The stone statue wanted to continue to hold on, but in the end, it didn't hold back, and changed back from Shi Feng's appearance to the original appearance of a spirit beast holding a sharp shield in both arms.

The restored stone statue did not move in the direction of the sachet, but moved in the opposite direction for some distance, and then continued to disguise itself as a pinnacle.

Liang Hui, Meng Ziyue, Mu Ling'er, Qin Zhen and Lu Yuan all saw this whole process.

"This stone statue is also quite sensible, and it actually gave us the route directly! Then we don't have to take a detour and continue to move forward according to the original planned route! ”

When the stone statue finished camouflaging, Liang Hui walked out with a big grin and said to Mencius and the others.

After saying that, he ran directly to the location where the sachet was and took it back into the spirit ring.

Although the expulsion sachet is not a particularly valuable item, the effect is very significant! Liang Hui didn't have many expulsion sachets on his body, and he didn't want to waste them, so he recycled them directly.

After Meng Ziyue followed Liang Hui, he immediately apologized for the questioning just now. Mu Linger and Qin Zhen are the same.

However, Liang Hui didn't care, but said: "In terms of knowledge related to spirit beasts, you do have more knowledge than me, but in the wilderness, I may have a little more experience than you!" ”。

"The reason why I asked you all to obey my judgment in the future is not because I am arbitrary, nor do I want to be a dictator! I'm just trying to avoid some unnecessary battles as much as possible, and buy us more time to explore the entire Stone Forest! ”
