The branches of the strange tree spread faster and faster, growing more than ten feet in the blink of an eye.

Lance had just witnessed the evil abilities of this thing, so how dare he stay here longer. With a slight jump, he jumped over the rocks to the east, far away from the mountain wall. He didn't dare to look back until he had kept enough distance.

At this moment, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded.

Lance narrowed his eyes, and a flash of realization suddenly flashed in his heart: I'm afraid these alarm puppets are not just used to prevent foreign invasions!

Sure enough, just after the alarm sounded, three groups of hot air balloons flew in the sky. Each set of hot air balloons contained four well-trained members of the law enforcement team.

These people are all at the level of mana of a first-level wizard.

Lance was quietly attached to the rocks, the chameleon effect was exerted to the extreme, and he was not afraid of being discovered in the night.

After the alarm sounded, the wizards who had been working in the barracks also withdrew from it in an orderly manner. They ran straight to the edge of the platform and lit the biggest hot air balloon. It's just that these people didn't flee directly, but just stood there, as if waiting for the members of the law enforcement team to deal with it.

"Do these first-level wizards know how to deal with such monsters?"

Lance watched as three first-level wizards jumped out of the hot air balloon, and they walked quickly in the direction of the cave. Lance noticed that all three men had a small pocket in their hands.

They wore gloves as they walked. Soon, the thick branch slowly stretched out. It was only twenty or thirty paces away from them.

Under the light of the lamp, Lance finally saw the monster clearly.

In the dark, it looked like a stiff branch, but now, it's a leech that has expanded countless times over!

And on the surface of this giant leech, there are countless miserable white eyeballs, and each eyeball is surrounded by goose-yellow pus. It squirmed rapidly on the ground, making it disgusting to watch.

"Could it be that there are countless such monsters in the belly of this mountain?"

Lance looked at this qiē with a frown, and he felt uncomfortable at the thought that there were also a large number of caves on the rest of the platform.

"But there is another possibility, and that is that there is only one giant monster in the belly of the mountain. And this so-called [Leech] is probably only a small part of that monster!"

Such thoughts are getting stronger and stronger. Lance remembered the inexplicable beast roar coming from the belly of the mountain earlier, which made him more and more sure of his thoughts.

The leech couldn't stop shaking, and its body began to slowly expand, crawling towards the three wizards of the Flower Scorpion Society with great ferocity.

But at this time. The three wizards stood still. They threw the cloth bag at their feet. Then with gloved hands, he came out with a small handful of yellowish powder from the bag.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

The three of them from three angles. Surrounded the leeches, and then took advantage of the situation, and the pale yellow powder in his hand continued to sway out.

Not much. An encirclement of yellowish powder is formed. The monster that was originally menacing was actually stunned, staying in place and constantly trembling, motionless.

"This powder is probably the nemesis of this monster. ”

Lance suddenly thought in his heart, no wonder these wizards looked confident, thinking that the senior wizards of the Flower Scorpion Society should take the current situation into account when raising or imprisoning this kind of monster, and specially developed this powder to restrain these monsters, so that the people under them can do things safer.

Judging by their skillful techniques, it's clear that this isn't the first time they've done this. They vigilantly kept a certain distance from the monster, and then threw a yellowish powder at it layer by layer. Under the influence of this powder, the leech's body began to stiffen. Those hideous eyes also gradually disappeared.

Ten minutes later, the giant leech's body was smeared with a thick layer of powder, and its body began to come out of the water in large quantities, leaving a puddle of water underneath it. As a result, its body withered and shrunk into the cave, eventually turning into a small piece of unremarkable wood.

The three wizards of the law enforcement team looked at each other, wiped their sweat, and returned to the edge of the platform with their bags.

"That's it!"

They said hello, and the wizards re-entered the barracks and got to work.

And the three people from the law enforcement team got together and chatted a few words:

"I just made a fuss yesterday, why did I come out alive and dead today?"

"Who knows? I don't have much powder here, I can use it once or twice at most, and it looks like I'll have to go to the storeroom to apply for it. This month's consumption is more than 30% more than last month. ”

"So is our group. I really hope that the research of adults can be completed, this monster is too dangerous, although there is this powder, but people die from it every month. Maybe when, it will be our turn. ”

"It should be soon. I've heard that in three days at most, that ceremony should take place. This monster won't be needed then. ”

Beneath the edge of the platform, a figure was quietly clinging to the rocks, listening to the conversation of the members of the law enforcement team.

Lance hopes to get more information from their conversation, and it would be better to know where Monica and Little Solo are hiding, otherwise it would be too inefficient to search through such a platform by himself.

It's just that the three wizards just chatted for a while, and then they took their own leave, returned to their respective groups' hot air balloons, and prepared to leave.

Lance was disappointed.

He just wanted to bite the bullet and continue the search, but who knew that at this time, a sharp voice sounded:

"Regan hurry up! We'll need to get to the east right now, where the reconnaissance force is empty. If one of them accidentally lets the woman and her son escape, the elders will have to kill us!"

"To the east?" said Lance, who was overjoyed, and immediately followed the voice.

It was a purple hot air balloon with three people leaning on it, and a fourth person was jumping on it.

After the crew was complete, the hot air balloon flew slowly to the east. Lance was sure in his heart and immediately followed.

......

In the middle of the mountain, there is a big tree that covers the sky. The trunk of the tree is blue-gray, with countless eyes looming on it.

Three gray-robed wizards stood on the edge of a cliff, their eyes looking down.

The roots of the tree were deep in the belly of the mountain, and there was darkness below, with a few rays of white light flashing from time to time. At the edge of the cliff, countless runes were nailed to the ground by silver crossposts. If you look down from above, you can clearly see that the tree is blocked by a multi-dà-type rune.

The branches of the big tree were numerous, and they grew upwards and burrowed into one cave after another. If Lance had been here, he would have guessed at a glance that the monster that had just swallowed his black cat was a branch of the tree.

"Stubborn things. A gray-robed wizard said coldly, "This is your last chance, after tomorrow night, we will permanently establish a passage to the Little Evil Spirit Realm." Once the passage is established, your hometown will be occupied by us, and you will lose all value. ”

"Greedy wizard, don't think that I will take the initiative to donate my core bloodline!"

In the darkness below the cliff, there was a roar: "You thieves, have stolen a part of my blood, aren't you satisfied?"

"Of course not. The gray-robed wizard smiled wickedly, "In this world, truth is unchanging, and knowledge is infinite. The lifespan of our human beings is too short, compared to the rest of the intelligent races, it is simply a drop in the ocean. And only we humans have the most powerful creative power in the multiverse. We need more life to study the origin of this world, to learn enough - we need immortality!"

"Old thing, do you think that by fusing yourself into this strange tree, you can evade our means?" the other sneered and said, "Haven't we extracted part of the immortal bloodline and the bloodline of other ancient creatures from your trunk?" The secret of the immortality of the evil spirit clan will be revealed by our Flower Scorpion Society. ”

"Dream!" roared the evil spirit in the darkness, "you will die a miserable death! Even if you avoid the evil spirit realm with the strong monarch and choose the small evil spirit realm with weak power, the strength of my people is still not what you can imagine! I would love to see you build that passage, because you will soon find that you are going to die a terrible death!"

"I'm sorry, you can't see that day anymore. Since you are not willing to contribute the core bloodline, we will kill you tomorrow. ”

The wizard who spoke first said grimly.

......

"This should be it. ”

On the mountain wall, Lance's figure was stuck between two rocks, dodging two waves of dense hot air balloons before finding an opportunity to jump onto the platform.

Compared to other places, this platform does not look particularly well guarded. But Lance was sure that if Monica and her children must be in the annex, it would definitely be here.

"There is only one dark cave, and the alarm puppets outside the cave are three times denser. ”

"Although the architecture of the houses is similar, this is the only place where there are no lights. ”

Lance circled the house far away, and his mind was decided. What made him confirm his thoughts even more was the cross needle in the center of his eyebrows.

In the past, the death gaze would only appear after Lance had actively infused his mental power. And now, it has emerged on its own, apparently inextricably linked to the mysterious little Solo.

Lance stood still, took out a summons note, and wrote lightly on it with his finger:

Do it!

The note flickered and burned out.

Three seconds later, an earth-shattering lion's roar came from high in the sky! (To be continued......
