At the beginning, I traveled through the wilderness, and I controlled the beasts to survive.

Lin Tianhe didn't need to remind him. Even if they didn't see blood, the other two saw bullet casings scattered under the grass.

This is definitely a man-made product.

Then, the possibility that it was left behind by Teacher Liu Yueming and his team is infinitely close to 100%.

Unless a new human being has traveled through time.

Han Ning kicked the mantis corpse beside his feet, looked at the endless bloody grassland in front of him, and said, "Teacher Lu, should we hurry in?"

"Be alert and see if there are any road signs ahead. If there are road signs, it means their situation is not very urgent." Lu Xiuning walked among the corpses of several other large mantises and made a decision.

Since all the drones collected in the academy were taken out by the exploration team, the two drones in Han Ning's hands exploded because they attracted the attention of the mushroom people.

Therefore, there are currently no drones that can explore the path. We can only walk carefully into the grass and fly in the mid-air with the silver ripples. The remaining three soul beasts are arranged in three directions, left, right, and behind, protecting the four humans in the center.

"The range of this grassland is too large. The scale on the map is at least 1:10 kilometers. It is difficult to find small-scale details."

Han Ning looked at the map in his hand and looked at the grassland ahead with his outstanding eyesight.

Each blood-red grass is at least three meters high, and the density is not very high. The grass blades are at least thirty or forty centimeters apart.

The grass was filled with mist, and the tall grass blocked the sunlight above. It was like being in a huge maze, making it difficult to discern the direction.

If you are not careful, it is very possible for a monster to suddenly appear from a certain direction.

After 10 meters into the grass, Han Ning's nose twitched slightly again, and a faint smell of blood came.

He lowered his head. On the grass in the northeast, drops of scarlet blood wet the light red soil, forming a dark red blood line that spread deep into the grass.

"Go this way." Han Ning found that as Yinyi broke through to Awakening IV, his senses improved slightly and he could distinguish subtle smells in the air, which was even better than a dog's nose.

"Do you think the reason why the grass here is blood red is because there are too many organisms buried in the soil, causing the grass blades to absorb a lot of blood and turn red." Lin Tianhe carefully observed the surroundings. , his eyes swept across the red grass blades, and he couldn't help but ask questions.

"How can it be."

While walking quickly, Lu Xiuning bent over, picked up a handful of light red soil, rubbed it in his hands, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, frowned and said,

"There is no smell of blood, and the soil is red. Usually it is rich in metal elements, such as iron and aluminum. If we successfully find Yue Ming and the others later, we have to bring some soil back for analysis. If it really contains metal elements, then That’s a lot of money.”

"Relying on technological means to separate the metal inside, whether it is used for production or feeding metallic soul beasts, it is a very good resource."

While Lu Xiuning was speaking, Han Ning, who was taking the lead, suddenly felt an inexplicable mental movement. His intuition told him that there was a creature approaching on the left, and he looked sideways.

"Buzz buzz~"

In the grass a few meters away, the sound of high-frequency vibration of wings suddenly came.

Three black beetles, which were all black in color and covered with light red spots on their surface, about 1-2 meters long, flapped their translucent wings and flew into the air, flying towards their direction.

The emerald glowed in front of Yinyi, who was about to kill him.

But I heard Han Ning's voice: "Don't worry, let's take a look at their attack methods."

As soon as he said this, the other three people also stopped their soul beasts from launching an attack, and instead switched to defense.

Everyone can see that the three beetles are very ordinary in terms of flight speed and size.

"Ling~"

The frost-white flowers on Yinyi's head trembled slightly.

Four arc-shaped frost shields exuding cold air appeared in front of the four people.

Above their heads, three beetles discovered the traces of Han Ning and others. They turned around and pointed their butts at them.

A sharp whistling sound erupted from the ends of their bodies.

Just a few muffled bangs were heard, and three small dents appeared on the heavily armored tree spirit guarding the front.

"Woo~"

The heavily armored tree spirit swung the thick vine whip, and the heavy wind pressure blew by. The bodies of the three black beetles instantly sunk inward and were directly smashed into the grass laterally.

"This should be a type of infantry. The way it attacks people is very similar to the artillery infantry on Blue Star." Lu Xiuning kept walking and said as he walked, "I don't have time to study them now. I'll wait until I find Yue Ming." talk later."

After getting rid of the beetle, the four of them continued to move quickly in the direction of the blood dripping.

Han Ning keenly discovered that as he went deeper into the grassland, the number of surrounding creatures began to increase.

Even with Yin Yi's momentum suppressing them, they still couldn't stop their probing attacks.

"Danger!"

Before walking a few dozen meters, Han Ning's footsteps suddenly stopped and he looked at the squirming grass in front of him.

Ahead, a colorful butterfly with a height of 3 meters blocked their way.

Lin Tianhe, who was following closely behind, saw this scene and exclaimed: "Butterfly? Have we entered the kingdom of insects?!"

The butterfly flew up and made a thin insect chirp towards them, and a light green light began to condense in its mouth.

A three-meter-high butterfly floated in front of them, and its insect eyes looked particularly huge.

"The uncanny valley effect is full..." Lin Tianhe subconsciously took a step back.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yinyi raised his hand very calmly, and an emerald flower thorn burst out at an astonishing speed, instantly penetrating the butterfly's body.

"..."

The light in front of the beautiful butterfly collapsed, and it fell down like a jade pillar pushing down a mountain of gold, without making a sound.

Silver Ripple threw out the vines, broke open the butterfly's body, and groped inside with familiarity.

Then, a spar emitting a faint green light was rolled back.

"Wood attribute crystal?"

Han Ning took the crystal and took a quick look.

"No, it's the same as the crystal left in the insect man's waist bag last time. It's not as dark as the wood crystal, but light green... A crystal unique to insects?"

Seeing more and more insects appearing on the spar and grassland, Han Ning became more and more certain that they were gradually approaching the range of insect man activities.

After walking briskly for another five minutes, there were intermittent blood stains under my feet. The blood flowed all the way. The amount of bleeding should be very large, but fortunately, except for blood and some messy battle marks, there were no other body parts.

Sudden.

"Ling!"

Yin Yi, who was flying in front, paused, suspended in mid-air, pointed at the position ahead and screamed "Ling Ling".

"What's wrong?"

Han Ning didn't know why, so he and his other companions quickly pushed aside the grass blades in front of them and looked forward.

"This is?!"

The four people's expressions all changed.
