Beast Patrol

"Whoosh!"

A slight sound came from the dark and silent frozen ground. A figure cautiously prostrated itself on the ground, moving forward slowly. After a while, it raised its head slightly, and hid behind a rock to carefully observe the surrounding situation.

After making sure that there were no other creatures around, he put a hand on his lower back and made a gesture.

Seeing that gesture, everyone in Xing Yun's team tiptoed to follow.

Early in the morning, everyone followed Xing Yun through a very secret path near the border battlefield, and quickly sneaked into the Dark Demon Immortal Kingdom.

A valley not far from this path is one of the passages for the alien beasts in the Immortal Kingdom to enter the border battlefield, and there are a large number of alien beasts passing through at all times.

The so-called darkness under the lights is nothing more than that.

So everyone walked all the way, not daring to breathe.

Even their respective beasts, in order not to expose the fluctuations of supernatural energy, were taken into the beast-guarding space by them in advance.

This also made them have to be more careful, otherwise, if they didn't react and were attacked by strange beasts before they could summon them, it would be a disaster.

Fortunately, after stumbling along the way, it seemed that they were finally reaching their destination.

"It's over there." Xing Yun lowered his voice to a minimum, and pointed to a cave not far away, "That cave is where your mission is located."

Everyone looked at each other, and their faces became a little more dignified.

A dark and unknown place like a cave will undoubtedly give people more sense of danger.

"It's already far away from the passage, you can summon the beasts, but you should be careful not to make too much noise." Xing Yun said in a low voice, and immediately added, "Start here, the next investigation will be It's up to you."

"En!" Lin Su nodded, looked at the other team members who looked over, and quickly took over the command without refusing, "Let's approach the entrance of the cave first."

It didn't surprise him that the dread golem's lair was in such a cave.

Because the resources of this strange beast were used in the evolution of Qiuqiu, Lin Su also did some research on the fear golem.

This kind of strange beast has no gender distinction, and it cannot reproduce races. It is a race born naturally from certain special terrains.

Under normal circumstances, fear golems will be born from dark and rugged places such as caves and caves. Because they have the particularity of inconvenient movement, they will stay in place wherever they are born, and they will move around in a small range at most. .

The lair of the dread golem is not only a place where a large number of dread golems exist, but also a terrain that can continuously produce dread golems.

As long as there are no dread golems living near the cave entrance, their approach to the cave entrance should not arouse the vigilance of the dread golems living inside the cave.

To be on the safe side, Lin Su asked Guigui to use his shadow avatar to go ahead and help them test it out.

Soon, after confirming their safety, everyone appeared at the entrance of the cave.

Carefully leaning against the raised terrain at the entrance of the cave, Lin Su looked at the others, and asked in a low voice, "Does your pet have any probing skills?"

"My Guguli can probe plants and trees." Zhang Xiaoyu said quickly, and Guguli beside him also waved his fist, indicating that he could help.

"The vegetation probe may not work in this environment." Lin Su sighed and shook his head slightly.

This skill uses the supernatural power of wood to activate the special connection between plants, and transmits the situation in the distance to the wood-type teaching skill of the wood-type beast. It can only be used in places where plants exist.

Inside the cave, it is naturally impossible for plants to exist.

Although Guguli can use the lushness to control the growth of plants in the cave first, and then use the vegetation probe, but the movement is too big, and it can't be hidden from the fear golem, and the opponent will attack immediately.

"I'll let Guigui use his shadow clone to go in and explore the way first."

After pondering for a moment, Lin Su still decided to let Guigui try.

An unknown cave, it is too dangerous for them to enter it directly to investigate the internal situation, and there is no other way to investigate without entering it.

The beasts of everyone in Xing Yun's team are relatively conventional types, and there are no special skills such as perspective. The only ones that can be detected without damage, and there is hope that they will not be noticed by the other party, are probably only the shadow clones of ghosts. up.

"Yeah!" Everyone in the team nodded quickly.

Lin Su touched Guigui's head, and said in a low voice, "Under normal circumstances, the fear golem of the commander rank is about two meters high, and the height of the fear golem of the monarch rank can reach more than five meters, so it is still very easy. differentiated."

"After you control the shadow avatar to go in, you don't need to check all of them, you just need to check the number of Commander Rank and Monarch Rank."

Lin Su didn't think he could complete the investigation smoothly in one go, so the most important thing now is to find out what the opponent's highest combat power is.

By the way, let's test whether the opponent can find Guigui's shadow clone.

"Jie! (⊙⊙)" (Got it!)

Guigui understood Lin Su's meaning, and raised his claws to condense a cloud of shadow from his side, turning into a shape that was exactly the same as itself, and then controlled the shadow clone to perform Shadow Concealment to sneak into the shadow, and quickly walked towards the inside of the cave. go.

Immediately afterwards, it closed its eyes and concentrated on observing the situation inside the cave with the help of its avatar's perception.

In the cave, the avatar slowly seeped down along the shadows, and carefully went deep.

It does have some advantages over the dread golems that inhabit the depths of caverns.

The fear golem is not a dark type, but a spiritual type.

It occupies an advantageous position in the darkness where you can't see your fingers.

Soon, under the control of Guigui, the speed of the avatar, which was rapidly shuttling through the shadow space and observing the outside world, slowed down.

It has seen the dread golem.

The first thing that entered the observation range was a dread golem that was only the length of an arm. This dread golem was wriggling its ferocious tentacles, leaning against the inner wall of the cave, absorbing supernatural energy in the dim cave as nutrients for its own growth. He didn't notice the clone's approach at all.

It was just a juvenile fear golem.

After hiding in the shadow space and observing for a few seconds, the clone did not stop, but continued to go deeper.

As the ghosts went deeper, the interior of the cave became wider, and the number of fear golems that appeared gradually increased.

At first, only a few juvenile-level golems appeared, and soon, elite-level fear golems with a height of one meter appeared.

The movements of the avatar became more cautious.

The elite dread golem is already at the same level as it, so it's hard to say whether it can be found.

As the clone slowly approached, the movement of the elite fear golem paused slightly.

However, it just felt a little strange, and didn't find the source of the strangeness, so it quickly resumed the wriggling and contraction of the tentacles.

Guigui breathed a sigh of relief, continued to control the clone, quietly bypassed the elite fear golem, and headed inside.

Now it seems that the elite fear golems have been able to detect something is wrong, but that's all, they can't locate the precise location of Guigui.

You only need to be careful and bypass it a little bit, and you can avoid the perception of the elite fear golem.

Carefully detour all the way, and soon, more and more fear golems appeared in the clone's sight.

Infant class, elite class.

The dwelling of the dread golem seemed to become denser.

The avatar stopped in the distance, and outside, Guigui quickly opened his eyes and told Lin Su what he saw just now.

"Very good." Lin Su nodded slightly. After learning that the elite fear golems could not find ghosts, his expression relaxed a little. "The habitat of the fear golems has become denser, which means that we will see the lair soon. The most important thing."

If nothing else, the Commander-level dread golem and the possible monarch-level dread golem live together.

So as long as it enters that core, Guigui can quickly detect the strength distribution of the opponent.

"Approach carefully, and test the distance of the opponent's perception by the way." Lin Su lowered his voice and said, and Guigui nodded quickly to express his understanding, and closed his eyes again.

In the cave, the avatar that had stopped had moved again.

Its speed was reduced to the minimum, and it moved a little bit towards the direction where the dread golems became denser and denser, approaching the core area of ​​the dread golem lair step by step.

Finally, at the end of his line of sight, Guigui saw a figure that was obviously taller than the elite fear golem, with a height of two meters.

Commander level fear golem!

It was about to continue approaching to see how many leaders and monarchs there were in that area, but at this moment, a scarlet golem quietly grew out from the gaps in the countless tentacles behind it. Eye.

Dread Golem Talent Skill, Gaze of Fear!

That scarlet eye became the last picture that Guigui controlled the avatar to see.

Avatar, broken.

"Jie, Jie...(⊙▂⊙)" (I just saw a commanding rank, and the avatar shattered...)

Guigui opened his eyes, and spoke with a bit of frustration on his face.

"It's okay." Lin Su rubbed Guigui's big hat to calm its emotions, "It's just the first time, it's already great. We have already determined the approximate location of the core area of ​​the nest, and it is not without gain."

His expression was somewhat dignified.

Guigui can see the distance of the other party, is it exactly the distance that the other party perceives Guigui?

This is not good news.

Moreover, with this time, the fear golem that attacked just now will definitely become more vigilant in the short term, and the next detection may be even more difficult.

"What should we do next?" Lin Su looked at the others, informed Guigui about the investigation, and then asked.

"Captain, my beast specially learned seismic waves for the assessment task last night, but it just mastered it." Ye Han hesitated, pushed his glasses and said quickly, "If it can be used, my beast can also contribute .”

Soil teaching skill, earthquake wave.

This skill is similar to the wood teaching skill Grass Probe, which is an exploration skill.

It can detect some underground conditions through the subtle vibrations fed back by the earth, like the ultrasonic waves of bats.

But the problem is that the seismic waves just learned can only roughly perceive the depth, shape, etc. of the cave at most. For the small animals living in the cave, they can't even perceive them.

One is not good, not only can't detect the situation, maybe it will attract the attention of creatures in the cave when the seismic wave is released.

So just now when Lin Su asked if he had detection skills, Ye Han didn't speak.

At this moment, the ghostly shadow clone encountered difficulties, so he hesitated for a moment before proposing.

"Seismic wave..." Lin Su frowned slightly.

He is also very clear about this skill.

If the rock split lizard's seismic wave skill proficiency is higher, reaching level II or above, you can still try it.

Now I just learned it, not only can't detect it, but I can also scare the snake.

Huh…

etc!

Lin Su looked at the tall rock lizard beside Ye Han, and then at the ghost beside him, with a strange look on his face.

It's not good to startle the snake, then...

How about a trick?

"I seem to have a solution!" He said quickly, discussing with the rest of the team.

Soon, Guigui made a move.

It condensed into a shadow clone again, and used the shadow concealment as before to carefully move towards the depths of the cave.

With the previous experience, this time the ghost is familiar with the way, and it is easier to control.

Soon, Guigui's avatar came to the position where the avatar dissipated last time, and stopped.

One step further, it will enter the detection range of the Commander-level fear golem, attracting a thunderous blow from the opponent.

Therefore, we can only stop here temporarily and prepare for the next step.

As the avatar stopped, the ghost guarding the entrance of the cave quickly opened its eyes.

"Jie! (⊙⊙)" (Here we go!)

"Okay." Lin Su nodded, and warned in a low voice, "Don't act rashly, wait until all the fear golems are alarmed, and then approach as quickly as possible."

"Jie!" (Understood!)

He Guigui nodded to express his understanding, and Lin Su then turned his gaze to Ye Han.

Ye Han nodded heavily, and directed his rock lizard through telepathy.

The Rock Lizard lightly pressed one of its strong front paws on the ground, and circles of earth-yellow energy ripples surged slowly towards the depths of the ground.

Soon, everyone felt that the ground under their feet began to shake slightly, like an earthquake.

What everyone felt was only the aftermath of the earthquake wave.

The real seismic wave detection center is located at the core of the cave provided by Guigui.

Guigui closed his eyes again, focusing all his attention on the clone.

At this moment, inside the cave, countless sleeping or resting fear golems suddenly became restless.

Inside the cave, everything began to shake violently, and the shaking seemed to never stop, continuing one after another.

Throughout the cave, the special scream of the fear golem resounded.

They are spiritual beasts, but because of their racial characteristics, they live in caves.

So what they are most afraid of is that a powerful earth-type beast will destroy the entire cave with a blow from the air.

And at this moment, the seismic waves of unknown origin really startled them.

Feeling the short-term chaos of the fear golem group, Guigui's avatar moved instantly.

At this moment, it used its fastest speed to quickly approach the commanding-level fear golem before it came back to its senses!

When the fear golem sensed something was wrong and repeated the same trick and a scarlet eye bloomed between its tentacles, Guigui had already come very close to it.

And this position is enough for it to see the situation at the core of the entire cave.

In the next moment, the avatar dissipated again under the gaze of fear.

Outside the cave, Guigui quickly opened his eyes and told Lin Su what he had found.

"Huh..." Lin Su breathed out lightly, looked at the people who were looking over nervously, with a somewhat strange expression, "One piece of good news, one piece of bad news."

He didn't make a fool of himself, and immediately said, "The good news is that there are no monarch-level fear golems in this lair."

Everyone's expressions immediately relaxed.

What they are most afraid of is that there are monarchs in this lair.

After all, compared to the existence of the commanding rank, the monarch rank fear golem is much more dangerous.

"The bad news is..." Lin Su paused, "There are eight commander-level fear golems in this lair."

This is much more than the five commanding ranks they expected before.

Of course, the combination of the two news is generally more beneficial to Xing Yun's team.

"Guigui's two shadow clone inspections have already clarified most of the internal terrain." Lin Su frowned slightly, "However, we haven't detected the number of elite and young students, so we can't count as completing the task."

"The area where Guigui's avatar goes is only a part of the area. To detect other infants and elites, you need to cross the core area where eight commanders exist, and go to the other side of the core area..." Lin Su spread his hands, no Go on.

"The seismic wave just now has completely alarmed all the fear golems. If other races have come out of the cave to hunt us down at this time." Ye Han pushed his glasses and added, "So next, the clone of the ghost will enter , will be more difficult."

Lin Su nodded.

From this point of view, the task seems difficult to complete.

After pinching his chin and thinking for a moment, Lin Su's eyes suddenly turned to Xing Yun who was silent at the side.

He coughed lightly, and said with some embarrassment, "Instructor, can you deal with the eight commander-level fear golems?"

"You really think highly of me." Xing Yun rolled his eyes angrily, then nodded slightly, "There should be no problem, but I basically went all out to deal with the eight, and I have no spare energy to protect you."

He has the Black Cloud Cudgel of the Sovereign Tier in his hand, and it is not difficult to use the Sovereign Tier to crush the Commander Tier. It is not difficult to hit eight with one hit, but it is difficult to find spare energy to protect the team members.

Lin Su nodded in understanding, his eyes flickering slightly.

It is too difficult to detect the number of this nest of fear golems without anyone noticing.

After all, the beasts of Xing Yun's team don't have any suitable skills for this occasion.

But... If you want to destroy the opponent, then you need more skills.

In the small-scale dread golem lair, there are at least hundreds of elite dread golems, far more than the pet beasts of everyone in the team.

But there are large-scale skills such as Snow Burst and Frost Silence Storm, and there are earth-type beasts such as the Rock Lizard that can easily cause trouble for the Dread Golem in the cave.

It's not impossible.

A bold idea flashed in his mind, he looked at the team members beside him, and smiled.

"How about... let's stop investigating and just wipe them out."

Xing Yun: "???"

Everyone in the team: "???"
