Chapter 18 Enemy Tracks
The elk turned his head and stared at Susan with bright big eyes. After a while, he lowered his head and licked the girl's palm.
"It seems that my guess is deviating. Perhaps even if we get closer, Leo and his Jade Claw Group will have no choice but to do anything to us!" Xu Mo looked at each other and spread his hands to everyone behind him.
"In the forest, except for the druids, the trainer with animal husbandry dragon patterns is the most terrifying." The rain man said with emotion, "Elks, squirrels, insects, as long as they can move, they are all assistants of the trainer."
"Mr. Cole, this deer told me that a group of humans passed by here yesterday afternoon, and its family was hunted and it was the only surviving member." After finishing the communication with the elk, Susan stood up and walked towards everyone, looking a little sad.
This is the price that a trainer must pay, and in communicating with animals with their spiritual communication, they have to bear the various emotions of these creatures.
"Are they Leo and the others?" Xu Mo asked in a deep voice.
"No, it's another group of people. The hunting methods they used were different from those of the Emerald Claw Group!" Susan looked back at the deer limping into the bushes and frowned, "The deer has a high IQ. The group of people made it feel scared, and even I could not soothe its soul."
"BOSS, it seems we have encountered other forces!" Serna reminded softly.
"Well, notify Xuepis in the rear and let them be careful!" Xu Mo ordered Yiyun.
"Old Team Leader K, come here!" The sound of dust smoke sounded in the team channel.
For two days, due to the need to guard against Leo's sudden counterattack, Xu Mo divided the team into three shifts to monitor the opponent's actions. Now Chen Yan is responsible for the guarding ahead. After all, Wood and Susan have limited energy, and at some point they need several agile reincarnators in the team to provide them with some assistance, so that the two have time to rest.
After everyone arrived at the place indicated by Chen Yan, they found that the skinny beauty was squatting in front of a corpse. The corpse was lying on the ground in a strange posture, with a huge pool of blood underneath, and the surrounding soil had turned reddish-brown. The upper body of the corpse seemed to have been stepped on by a group of elephants, almost turning into a pancake.
"It's the man from the Emerald Claws!" Chen Yan turned the corpse on the ground, pulled the corpse's shirt open, pointed to his flat chest and said, "The sternum has been shattered, his arms have defensive injuries, and he died of heavy bleeding!"
"This person... is really strange!" The rain man raised his head and looked at everyone with confusion. "I have only seen this kind of injury once before, and it was in a state of sadness. A assassin of Red Rose was hit in the chest by a heavy component with a war hammer..."
Xu Mo and several reincarnators in the team looked at each other, and they knew that the members of this Emerald Claw Group should have died at the hands of the reincarnators. The plot strong man who can cause such injuries with bare hands should leave obvious traces of boxing. Only the power-type reincarnators can cause this way of death with brute force.
"This person's strength is stronger than me!" Ross said with a serious expression, "I mean, it is stronger than my power after becoming crazy, and it should have reached the third level!"
"It seems that our Lord Leo has encountered the attacker!" Xu Mo said with a sneer, "Susan, Wood expands the scope of reconnaissance and find the area of the two groups of people as soon as possible!"
"Crack!" Just as Xu Mo and others were about to move forward rapidly in the forest, a loud thunder came from afar, and a dazzling lightning bolt lit up in the air, falling from the sky like the spear of Thunder God, slamming into the forest in the distance.
Lightning and thunder reflected everyone's faces white. Xu Mo's pupils shrank and he couldn't help but stop.
"Electric magic at level seven or above!" Susan widened her eyes and screamed in surprise, "This is impossible. How could such a magician take the risk of entering Qiyun Forest!"
"Sir, it's about two kilometers away from us. Do you want me to get closer and take a look!" Wood asked softly.
"No, you guys retreat another kilometer, I'll go alone!" Xu Mo closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then quickly made a decision.
"Old Commander K, it's too dangerous for you to go alone. We don't have to get too close. About one kilometer, Wood should be able to observe the battlefield!" Chen Yan advised cautiously, "Didn't we plan this way?"
"The plan cannot keep up with the changes!" Xu Mo smiled bitterly, "You don't understand that the original plan was based on other top teams tentative team battles between each other, but this lightning bolt..."
"Old K, nothing happened to you, right?" Xuepis's voice came from the team channel.
"No, it's Leo's team that encountered other forces!" Xu Mo replied in a deep voice, "Did you see that lightning too?"
"Well, I've seen it all. It should be the star-level skill of the third-level magic transferee!" Serpis hesitated for a while, and then spoke, "Simon just suggested that I let the team retreat for a distance. What do you think?"
"Do what he said!" Xu Mo replied without thinking, "My original inference was wrong. Since there were third-level magic transferees participating in the battle, this battle is no longer a test..."
"Old Captain K, it seems you have felt it too!" Simon's slightly solemn voice sounded from the call channel, "The top team should have joined forces!"
"Well, they want to kill other competitors who have not yet joined forces before entering the underground world!" Xu Mo said with an ugly face, "Leo may have become our scapegoat!"
...
A clearing in the forest several kilometers away from Xu Mo and others was now full of the bodies of members of the Emerald Claw Group. Leo, who had met Xu Mo, glared with his eyes and sat obliquely under a big tree. He had been dead for a long time.
Leo's shoulders were covered in blood and flesh, and the broken shoulder bones were exposed to the air, and his arms were broken with shoulder-to-shoulder strength. Judging from the broken tendons at the wound, he actually had his arms broken by someone using brute force.
In this open space, two groups of people were clearly sitting. The men on the left were mostly naked, and the women's clothes were extremely vulgar. Most of them were painted with oil-colored war patterns on their exposed bodies and faces, looking like savages from the wild world.
The group of people on the right have exquisite and gorgeous clothes, with a hand-shaped sword, and many people are wrapped in cloaks or hooded cloaks. Judging from the sharp ears exposed by a few people on their hoods, these people are actually purebred elves.
"Will, I didn't expect to meet your team here!" A strong bass sounded from the open space.
The person who made the sound was a big man among the barbarians. The man's face was covered with blue oil paint, and the big horse sat on a huge rock with golden sword. The exposed chest muscles were like marble carved with a knife and axe. The shoulders were wide and thick, and the muscles of the arm were three times the thickness of an ordinary person.
"Storm, we'd better be careful. Judging from the conclusion we have drawn now, this space war is probably the most intense way of competition. Five top teams participate in one mission at the same time!" An elf mage wearing a green hooded cloak and holding an oak staff said lightly.
"Well! I thought it was a competition between the three major teams, but I didn't expect that your guy's mission was the same!" The big man spat angrily, "Will, are we going to war right now, or join forces for the time being? If we want to join forces, the old rules will show us your main mission."
"No problem!" The elf mage glanced at the big man and showed his team's main task.
"Haha, so that's it!" Ba Feng only glanced at it and laughed, "It turns out that you are not for the Dragon Crystal Mineral Vein, but just to destroy the alliance between the dark elves and the ground forces!"
"The surface elves and dark elves are mortal enemies. Our main mission is issued by Vionor's Elf King himself." The elf mage smiled bitterly, "This mission is extremely difficult, I just hope to pass it to the minimum."
"Hmph, it is indeed difficult to achieve this main mission perfectly, but the lower limit of the mission is also very low. You are only required to destroy a top team of surface forces or dark elves." The man took out a piece of jerky from his arms and took a bite. "Not like our main mission, there are so many restrictions, and we have to fight almost all teams."
"What do you know! From Vionor to the dusk woodland, we almost spanned two countries, and our time was basically spent on the road." The elf wizard sighed, put down his hood, revealing a handsome face.
"This space war is really complicated. Before we met you, we originally thought it was only the range of three top teams at most. Unexpectedly, there were three ground forces just fighting for the Dragon Crystal Mineral Veins..."
"Three teams compete for the Dragon Crystal Mineral Veins, a dark elf force, and a surface elves force!" Qiang Wan stuffed the dried meat into his mouth, took a kettle from a subordinate, took a few mouthfuls, and then spoke, "Fortunately, we had some friendship in the space war before, otherwise, even if we could survive this war, the team would suffer a lot."
"Well, this is probably something that cannot be calculated by the five major spaces, and it is also our only advantage now!" The elf mage nodded, "Do you see, should we continue to wait for the rabbit at the entrance, or should we take the lead in entering the underground world?"
"It's not impossible to wait for the rabbit, but our mission conflicts, we must sign a contract that is fair to both parties." His eyes rolled and he showed a cunning smile, "Otherwise, after you kill a ground force, you ran back to Vionor, won't we just work for you in vain?"
"Isn't it good to have one competitor left?" asked the elf mage quietly.
"Hmph, Will, do you treat us as fools? In the underground world, the team of the dark elves must have an advantage over us. If you don't enter the underground world, why do we have to take action at this time and let other teams share some of the pressure? Isn't that better?" the big man said with a sneer.
"Haha, you guy is unwilling to suffer any loss. Well, let's sign a contract now!" said the elf mage readily.
"Ah!" Just as the two people's negotiations were about to end, a short scream suddenly sounded at the edge of the space.
