After everyone took a short rest, they set out on the road ahead again.

There are still rugged and strange rocks on both sides, and the deeper you go, the more bizarre the rocks become. There are potholes everywhere, and it is not very easy to walk.

This should have been the main mining area at that time, otherwise it would be difficult to form such a rugged and complex area. There are pits everywhere, and there are also steeply erected stone walls. However, without exception, there are some traces of withered yellow vegetation on it.

At that time, this place was probably destroyed beyond recognition by explosives. After thousands of years of evolution, it has been re-entered into the embrace of nature. Grass grows here and small plants take root here. Unfortunately, you can't see that scene now, you can only see the complete scene.

These plants dry up due to loss of water.

It has not completely disappeared. We even pulled it up and found that the roots still have vitality. So it has only been like this for a few days. The rapid rise in temperature has caused these plants to die quickly. It did not happen that long ago.

of.

Others were not in too much of a hurry to move forward. Like Li Feng, they were constantly examining the surrounding environment. Changes in the environment could sometimes extract useful clues, but there was absolutely no need to rush here. In other words, the reason why they came out so early was because

It’s just to prepare for various explorations along the way. If you don’t find anything this time, you can ignore a lot of things when you come back next time and rush forward.

"Everyone, look here"

Xiao Lin's voice came from a height of about five meters. She still likes to search from as high a place as possible. Her flexible posture makes it easy to find clues.

Following the direction from which the sound came, everyone quickly jumped up. This distance was still not a problem for everyone, but it would be more troublesome if it was higher.

Jumping to a high place, I saw Xiao Lin squatting in front of a relatively large rock, so I quickly went over to check.

Afterwards, I found that Xiao Lin was pushing aside a small pile of gravel in front of the stone, and some small red crystals fell out.

This is!

Everyone was shocked. Isn't this the condensed fire element crystal that Mamoru and Xiaolin brought before? Each piece is only the size of a peanut, but the energy inside is terrifyingly rich. According to what Akari said before, it's just such a small piece.

A small thing can hold dozens of large fire attribute energy crystals.

There are a total of more than a dozen small pieces here, and selling them can bring a considerable income. But now everyone is greedy for this little wealth, because they all know that the appearance of such things means that this mission, the enemy's

The fire attribute is likely to be so powerful that it reaches a terrifying level. This does not appear in the rock layer of the ground, but directly on the surface. No matter how you think about it, you can't imagine how terrifying the opponent this time is.

"This thing is exactly the same as the one I picked up before. Xiao Lin, you found it again. We also found it under a large stone before. This time, there is something fishy."

Mamoru held his chin with his hand, frowned and said.

"It's not too weird, I can make some guesses. I'm not sure it's completely correct, but it should be about the same as I imagined."

Akari picked up these things and put them away, and said with a serious face.

The people around him quickly listened, wanting to hear the advice of the team leader.

"These things all appear close to the wall, which means they are not the kind of natural growth or dropped by passing by. It is obviously like sweeping the floor with a broom or being blown by the flow of wind. If it is close to here, it just happens to be stuck.

Here, with these gravels."

After saying that, he pointed to the gravel on the ground, which was crowded together.

"Although there is no evidence to completely confirm the connection, these clues, energy shock, fire attribute, and stones that happen to be in the corners of the rock. Without exception, allow us to imagine in this aspect that the shock wave is not so much an attack on the town.

The people seem to be showing off their power to this mountain."

Akari became more and more certain as she spoke, showing a somewhat confident smile.

Others were still confused and didn't know what Captain Akari was talking about.

Mingli did not continue talking, but cast a questioning look at Li Feng. Mingli wanted to know whether this person from another world, whom she had always been optimistic about, would have excellent understanding.

Sakitomi noticed the two people and immediately looked at Li Feng. Sakitomi didn't understand what Akari was talking about, but she thought that Li Feng definitely knew, so she looked at Li Feng in the same way.

It didn't matter to these two people. The other three people noticed it and immediately looked over. Suddenly feeling everyone's gaze, Li Feng suddenly came to him inexplicably. After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly understood and nodded suddenly.

, spoke.

"The previous energy shock was not to attack the villagers, but to attack the beasts and monsters in the mountains. It can be inferred that the mastermind of this incident was not for the purpose of hunting humans."

Li Feng replied confidently and received an appreciative nod from Akari.

Mingli is consciously cultivating Li Feng's thinking, understanding, and leadership skills. After all, if he doesn't participate in event tasks if something happens, he can be regarded as a second person who can help the team with his intelligence.

"That energy shock is very terrifying. We are still only on the outermost edge of the mountain. Such a shock wave is emitted from the deepest place at such a distance, and then it can also cause such power. How terrifying this monster is. So if this monster

If you want, you can destroy Gulu Town at will. But it didn't do this, so maybe its target is not us humans."

Telling his guess, the more Li Feng thought about it, the more likely it became. Mingli kept nodding aside, agreeing very much with Li Feng's guess.

In fact, Li Feng's guess was more comprehensive than what Mingli thought, so Mingli secretly admired him. Of course, for the sake of the captain's face, he couldn't show any emotion on the surface. So he chose not to say a word, and just kept nodding.

"The target is not human beings. They were released in this mountain, so let's think about it in this direction. Combined with another unknown anomaly we discovered at that time, I think the answer is very close. Although it is not completely certain, there is no absolute

Evidence. But with a bunch of coincidences together, I think it’s at least 95% possible.”

Li Feng said and looked around. Some people already knew what they were talking about, while others were still confused.

"Do you still remember what we discussed before about the monster on this rocky mountain..."

After a pause, Li Feng slowly said this sentence.

"The properties of the monsters on the mountain are abnormal!"

Saki Hitomi seemed to understand something and suddenly shouted out.

"That's right, when we saw the video on this mountain, we felt something abnormal, that is, there were too many fire-type monsters. Sister Akari has already explained that this is not in line with the general ecological laws of the Azure Star. It is really too abnormal. Just now

We have also seen with our own eyes that the magical beasts here are almost all fire-attributed, and there are no magical beasts with other attributes at all."

After saying that, everyone recalled that among the many monsters that had just been attacked, it seemed that all of them were fire-attribute monsters. There were many attributes mixed among them, but without exception, they all had very obvious signs of the fire attribute.

"According to the information we consulted, it can be said that this place was very normal before the earliest. The monsters here have all attributes, but the fire attribute is the rarest. After all, this kind of mountain forest has water, earth, light, darkness and wind, even advanced attributes

There are often wood and other things, but fire is rarely found. This means that it is very detrimental to the growth of fire-attributed monsters, and fire-attributed monsters will subconsciously avoid them."

"However, since the disaster in the history of Gulu Town, the ecology has quietly changed. We reviewed the data from the town's reconstruction to the time of this anomaly. At that time, fire-attributed monsters already accounted for 30%, belonging to

It’s very abnormal. Having more fire attributes is not good for the mountains and forests. It’s really difficult for such mutually exclusive things to coexist.”

"This is not over yet. When Saki Hitomi took out the video, almost all the fire-attributed monsters had occupied it. As you can see from the screen, there are only some monsters with other attributes occasionally, and most of them are fire-attributed. Now we are here now

, it can be said that they are 100% fire-attribute monsters."

Li Feng compared this abnormal ladder shape, and everyone felt more and more uncomfortable. They already understood more or less what Li Feng was thinking. If this is really the case, then how powerful is the enemy this time?

monster.

"It seems that everyone already knows what I am going to say. Based on what we have analyzed before, combined with what I just said, we can boldly guess that the mastermind behind this time... is probably a monster that can change the properties of surrounding beasts. The energy shock sent out before

It is also a change. These fire elements are condensed and clean. They are the products that overflowed when the impact was made. They were scattered on the ground and then rushed to this place with the impact, blocked by the terrain."

When Li Feng said this, the others no longer dared to speak. Even Akari didn't interrupt. Li Feng had already inferred many more things than Akari had just thought. These things sounded a bit unbelievable, but all the previous questions

Click, and everything is explained at once.

"It can be inferred that this energy shock is just a huge fire attribute shock wave to people. But for these beasts and monsters, it is similar to mental control plus species attribute changes. There were reports of beasts here before, but now there are no more. All monsters

Transformation. Even monsters with other attributes in the past have been converted into fire-attribute monsters. If my deduction is correct, then this is the last thing that is extremely scary to think about. How big a monster can a monster with such abilities be..."

In the end, Li Feng slowly stated his conclusion. He made it clear that everything he said was inference, without any proof. However, it was this inference that explained all the previous contradictions. Although it cannot be guaranteed to be 100%

Correct, but this must be a very possible existence.

After listening to Li Feng's words, others also fell deeply into thinking. Everyone knows this inference, but as an adventurer, you can never be rigid, and it happens to require a lot of guessing and inference. Think as comprehensively as possible from countless possibilities, and finally make a final decision.

Eliminating efforts all the way to grasp the only possible answer.

If you accept death and always think that your guesses are false until you see the truth, then this kind of adventurer has probably died countless times.

Since there is no other direction, everyone thinks about the possibility mentioned by Li Feng. However, no matter how they think, they can get a result, that is, with the current strength of the personnel, there is absolutely no possibility of defeating this kind of monster.

Existence is definitely a disaster-level existence.

Akari directly took out her mobile phone and kept searching and browsing information. Fortunately, there was no abnormality here, and the signal could reach the outside world. However, due to the influence of the monsters inside, the signal became worse the further in. Now the signal of Akari's mobile phone is far inferior.

In the town, it takes a long time to load a web page, which makes people waiting very anxiously.

There is nothing you can do about it, especially when it comes to this kind of mission. If it is really as expected, you can't act rashly. To put it bluntly, even if the whole town is finished, your team still needs to prioritize your own life.

Even if he and others swarmed him, he would only be giving some experience to this terrifying monster.

Time passed by, and Akari next to him finally put away his mobile phone. Everyone's hearts immediately started to rise. Although they didn't know what Akari was doing just now, it must be related to this mission.

"I checked the information and found that there have been many cases in history of changing the surrounding ecological species. But without exception, they were all monsters marked as super crossbows..."

Super crossbow level, this level is very rare, and many people only hear some legends about it occasionally. In this world, the highest level for monsters is the super crossbow level.

Ordinary monsters will not be graded, and at most they will be explained by difficulty. Later, the crossbow class was named, and the danger level of the crossbow class is equivalent to requiring experts from several cities to join forces to solve it. Usually it takes at least two or three.

Ten level five powerhouses, plus a large number of adventurers, and hunters will fight collectively. This level setting was set for the strongest monsters from the beginning, and all monsters that are ridiculously strong are defined as crossbow level.

As the name of the super crossbow class implies, after thousands of years, it was discovered that there have been monsters that are much more powerful and terrifying than the crossbow class. These monsters can bring disaster to small countries. So for such more powerful monsters, another one was added.

Super crossbow class definition.

There are only a handful of super crossbows that have appeared in history, and they all have extensive historical records. It is really something that is too unforgettable. If it appears here like this, is it possible for our team to face it?

Li Feng was on the verge of crying. What was happening was really outrageous. Not to mention his own team, even if he copied his team a thousand times and had 6,000 people go together, there would be no chance of winning.

ah.

At this point, everyone has basically had a cognitive positioning of this event. Without any desire to win, even if it is a one-in-a-billion chance, it will not happen.
Chapter completed!
