It is difficult to distinguish between day and night in the underground world, and the sky cannot be seen at all. There are only vegetation that give off a faint light.

Zhao Futu can only judge what time it is based on the time he comes. If he comes during the day, then it should be night now. If he comes at night, then it should be daytime now. The nightmare space will directly

The probability that the Contractor will be released at night is not very high, so it should already be night on the surface world.

As if to verify Zhao Futu's guess, some creatures with obvious nightlife habits began to increase in number.

The girl paladin led the army back to the Pillar of the Evil Eye, while Zhao Futu investigated the nearby area alone. The scope of this underground ruins is very large, and there are too many underground passages extending in all directions. If you lead the army forward, it will easily alert other people.

creature. Therefore, it is not as easy as Zhao Futu to move alone. If he encounters any powerful creature, he can easily retreat with his strength.

Zhao Futu still has more than 3,000 gold coins in his hand, as well as some gems obtained from attacking wild lairs.

The recruitment of troops in the Pillar of the Evil Eye will not resume until a week later. The gold coins in his hand seem to be of little use for the time being.

However, this does not prevent him from continuing to search for loot!

Because even if there is no way to use them, these gold coins can still be exchanged for survival points. Moreover, Zhao Futu feels that these law gold coins are very useful. There will definitely be many places where they will be used in the future. There is a saying that 'money will be used only when it is used'.

, it doesn’t matter if he reserves a little more of this kind of good stuff. Because once the dungeon forces and cemetery forces enter the scene, and the contractors begin to encounter large-scale encounters, then he will never want to attack the wild so easily.

The nest will have to weigh its own strength.

Don't take advantage of others and work hard to make wedding clothes for others.

"This is?"

Zhao Futu walked to a stone pillar, reached out and touched something on the ground, put it under his nose and smelled it, and said to himself: "It seems to be the feces of a lion and scorpion?"

There is a relatively common pattern in the animal kingdom.

That is, they will leave things with their own scent within their own territory, the most common of which are feces and urine. Just like the feces and urine of Tyrannosaurus rex can drive away other weak dinosaurs, the manticores

They will also leave something of their own within their own territory. On the one hand, this is to deter enemies from protecting their nests, and on the other hand, it is also to declare their sovereignty over this territory.

but.

The life habits of Scorpios are somewhat similar to those of Lions.

That is to say, they basically live in groups, with a strong male manticore, and then several female manticores, thus forming a group of manticores. Because the elder has a pair of blood-red wings, the lions

Scorpions also like to build nests on cliffs, but they are definitely much stronger than harpies and the like. As a sixth-level creature in the dungeon, the danger in the scorpion's nest can be said to be second only to the dragon's lair.

This is why Zhao Futu was so careful along the way!

However, since the danger is second only to the dragon's lair, the wealth in the manticore's lair is also very astonishing.

Their habits are somewhat similar to dragons. In addition to collecting shiny things, they also often plunder and guard some treasures with magical energy.

As the creature in the dungeon after the red dragon and the black dragon, the possibility of treasures in the manticore's lair is very high!

.........Perhaps because he entered the territory of the manticore, Zhao Futu found that the traces of creatures around him began to decrease.

As he gradually went deeper, Zhao Futu found that similar lion and scorpion feces were left in many places, and at this time he could also feel the solemn atmosphere around him, that kind of quiet and depressing atmosphere without even the cry of small insects. This is

The unique coercion of powerful creatures in the magical plane is like no other creature daring to approach the dragon's lair.

Sudden!

A "whooshing" sound of wind sounded above Zhao Futu's head, and he jumped into a hidden gap next to him without hesitation.

Then, he saw a scorpion with blood-red hair flying over his head. It circled twice around the position where Zhao Futu was before, and even landed and sniffed the ground with its nose, but then

It flew up again and headed towards the nest. It seemed that it didn't find anything. Maybe it thought Zhao Futu was just a passing creature.

"It looks like the scorpion's nest is nearby! The scorpion just now seems not to be the one I saw at first!" Zhao Futu waited until the scorpion flew away, and then walked out cautiously.

This manticore was smaller in size and was not the one Zhao Futu first saw near the caveman's lair.

However, these two scorpions should belong to the same nest, because once they form a group of scorpions, their number will be at least three or five. However, based on the traces and numbers of biological activities around, Zhao Futu estimated that the lions

The total number of scorpions will not exceed ten, because there are no large-scale biological groups nearby, and these scorpions are not domesticated by heroes.

If the manticore group becomes too large, it will inevitably cause the nearby biological nests and monster groups to migrate or become extinct. The consumption of food hunting alone is enough to destroy the nearby ecosystem.

Sometimes, balance is a very delicate thing.

It's like a contractor killed so many tauren before dying that even a small tribe of cavemen dared to hunt lone tauren for food.

This is where the delicate balance begins to break!

"Go in and have a look. If there are not a lot of them, then find a way to kill them! If there are too many, I'm afraid we have to think about it in the long run!" Zhao Futu thought for a while, and then followed the place where the manticore flew away.

Fifteen minutes later.

Zhao Futu saw a lion and scorpion nest.

Different from the harpy's lair, the manticore's lair looked like an eerie cave. There were a large number of creature skeletons scattered outside the cave, and one of them had fallen to the ground. But what surprised him was that

, the manticore's lair is actually not on a cliff, but a large cave dug at a relatively high position. The cave is surrounded by various bones, including cavemen, harpies,

Evil eyes, minotaurs, and many other creatures that Zhao Futu himself did not recognize.

"call!"

"Fortunately, I prepared this thing before!" Zhao Futu took out an infrared thermal detector from his private space and put it on his eyes.

Originally, he wanted to buy a 'life detection' spell scroll, but it was a little more expensive, although the effect was much better than the infrared thermal detector. After bringing the infrared thermal catapult

, Zhao Futu immediately saw the number of creatures in the scorpion nest. There were four scorpions in total, three smaller ones, and the largest one should be male.

There are many things in the lair that emit faint light, perhaps because of the magical energy. Zhao Futu discovered that many things in this plot plane emit strange energy fluctuations, and they are easily captured by infrared heat.

This may be why cavemen were able to find treasures!

Manticores are very similar to dragons in their habits. They pile their collections into a hill and sleep on it.

"Huh? What is that?"

Zhao Futu got a little closer and suddenly found that there was a much clearer thing inside the cave. It was round in appearance. Looking at it, Zhao Futu felt that the thing looked a bit like a shield!

"treasure?"

"Is it some kind of treasure?"

There was a hint of surprise on Zhao Futu's face, and he couldn't help but murmured: "It looks like it's really a treasure!"

……………at this moment.

A strong wind suddenly sounded, and the fifth scorpion appeared in front of Zhao Futu with a dead creature corpse in its mouth.

It threw the body at the door of the lair, then roared a few times inside, and then other manticores quickly came out to greet it. It seemed that Zhao Futu's judgment was wrong, and the lion in front of him

The scorpion is the leader in the lair. Just looking at its size, it is one size larger than the others. Moreover, the hair on its body is more blood red, a very thick scarlet color. Its tough and strong scorpion tail also has erected spikes.

A hangnail!

"Manticore?"

Zhao Futu instantly activated the 'Three Flowers Gathering on Top' and launched the reconnaissance technique towards the coercive poisonous manticore.

"Poisonous Manticore (Level 6 creature):

Height is 155 cm, body length is 360 cm, and weight is 270 kg.

Basic attributes:

Strength 75 points, agility 60 points, intelligence 9 points, stamina 65 points, spirit 9 points, perception 40 points, willpower, 12 points charm, 18 points Skills:

Scorpion Tail Needle [Lock-on Skill]: Insufficient perception and cannot be viewed.

Dive Attack [Lock-on Skill]: Insufficient perception, unable to see.

Beast Intuition [Lock-on Skill]: Insufficient perception, unable to view.

[Unknown ability]:...[Unknown ability]:..."

......... As if sensing Zhao Futu's reconnaissance skills, the poisonous manticore suddenly looked at Zhao Futu's location.

But just when Zhao Futu was about to run away, the poisonous lion scorpion shook its head again, retracted its sight, then picked up the corpse of the creature on the ground and walked into the lair. At this time, Zhao

Only then did Pagoda realize that the creature it had just brought back was actually the legendary Medusa, but the snake's tail on the lower body seemed to have been bitten off. He didn't realize it until he got closer.

"Is there a Medusa nest nearby?" Zhao Futu asked doubtfully.
