For smart creatures, the unknown is always the most terrifying thing. Most known things can be used to find countermeasures or ways to escape. When facing the unknown, there is no preventive measure and can only passively wait for the danger to appear.

This is the case within a radius of thirty kilometers around Dragon Scar. Around Dragon Scar, perhaps because of the devastating power remaining underground, many strange monsters rarely seen outside are gathered. They have no fixed territory, no fixed hunting time, no fixed recipes and hunting objects. The entire Dragon Scar range is like a huge hunting ground. Every creature here is ready to hunt other creatures at any time, and of course, they are also ready to be hunted by other creatures at any time.

"This place has entered the range of Dragon Scars." Elad carefully lay in the grass and lowered his voice and said, "Within the thirty kilometers from here, I can only lead the way. I cannot warning of any danger in advance, nor provide preventive measures. If you continue to move forward, then just pray for yourself. Everyone may die, no matter how strong it is. For example, the monster in front looks very strong, but it is very likely to be eaten soon."

The unknown monster that Elad refers to was crawling past everyone's hidden place. It was a giant seven meters long and three meters wide. It looked a bit like a crocodile, with short and thick limbs and a tight belly crawling forward. Judging from its sharp claws and fangs, it should be a carnivorous beast, with hard scales and thick tail behind it, and crawling through the hidden place with a leisurely posture after eating, without expecting the danger to approach.

It did not expect it himself, nor did it expect it to be watched in secret. Even Elad, who had reached the conclusion, did not expect that his prediction would be fulfilled so quickly. As he said, the unfamous beast, which seemed very powerful, died immediately.

Without any warning, it was lying on the ground and crawling forward leisurely, and its abdomen suddenly cracked, and a large amount of internal organs accompanied by the gushing blood, sprinkled on the ground under the action of gravity. What's even more terrifying is that it did not notice all this at all, and it was still crawling forward as usual. Until it felt something was wrong with its body, it looked behind it with a humanized puzzled look. It was not very intelligent, and it could not understand it at all. The large ball of internal organs on the ground fell from itself, and it could not understand why the internal organs wrapped in the body fell to the ground inexplicably. So he could only look at the sudden extra internal organs and blood on the ground with a strange look, until it was flooded by the sudden strong sense of fatigue and closed his eyes forever.

While the monster died, the ground soil covered by internal organs suddenly began to flip. After a few seconds, the monster that had been strangely shaped drilled out from the ground. The monster underground looked like a lizard-like monster, and it was not small in size. Its tail was four meters long and its body was round. The body surface was covered with dark cuticles, as if it was covered with heavy armor. The head was triangular and there were two translucent airbags on its neck. The air stored inside could be used for it to lurk underground for a long time.

"Blade Lizard." Panis whispered: "This is a Blade Lizard."

"How is that possible?" Lina silently flipped the illustration in her hand: "Don't they just live in the wet lost forest?"

"Obviously, this is an exception." Panis made a low "tsk tsk" sound, pointing to the blade lizard and said, "Look at the blade behind them, one of the quite terrifying weapons."

As the name suggests, the cuticle layer behind the sword blade lizard has undergone a certain degree of mutation, and the cuticle layer on the middle line behind forms a thin bulge. The raised part is extremely thin, as sharp as the sword blade, about ten to fifteen centimeters high, translucent, and can be stretched and contracted at will. Usually, they will use their limbs that are suitable for digging to bury themselves in the soil and lurk. Once a large crawling or snake-like monster passes through the above, they will pop up the translucent sword blade on their backs and cut the abdomen of prey from below. Because the sword blade is too thin and sharp, and the surface secretes anesthetic substances, the victim cannot detect it until it is completely opened, and can only die inexplicably and become a delicious meal in their mouths.

"In the Lost Forest, this kind of sword-blade lizard is a very annoying creature." Panis whispered anecdotes: "Occasionally, elves will step on their unshelved blades. At that time, unless the demigod who stays in the shield forever will be hit even the Legendary level. Moreover, their sword-blades are too strong to break, even the toughness of the Legendary level will be injured, and the gold or lower level * is even worse, and half of the foot will be cut off directly. Therefore, in the Lost Forest, elves have developed a habit of never raising their feet when walking, and they will drag the ground."

"Puchi." Lina imagined the graceful elf walking on the ground, couldn't help laughing, and asked with her mouth covering her mouth: "It's too exaggerated, it's true."

"Of course it's fake." Panis shrugged unscrupulously: "The elves actually have ways to discover them, but I can't learn them no matter how much I learn them."

Vivian's body shook, and his hand, who was writing quickly on the notebook, suddenly stopped. He used the tip of his pen to thigh a few times before crossing out the lines of the records just now under the sad eyes of Panis who endured the pain and did not dare to scream.

The sword-blade lizard slowly crawled out, slowly shook off the soil on its body, slowly climbed to the prey, lowered its head and sniffed it, licked the blood on the ground with satisfaction, then opened its mouth wide, bit the prey's belly, vigorously tearing off a piece of meat, and chewing it hard.

"The sword-blade lizard has a very large appetite." Panis said: "That big monster is probably only enough for it to eat in one meal. However, after it is full, it will not starve to death if it doesn't eat for a month. In fact, it is still very food-saving. How about it, Catherine, be envious. If you have such skills, you probably can at least be in terms of food expenses... Hello, don't do this, you will be discovered by the monsters."

"Don't be determined to die if you are afraid of being discovered." Catherine quietly put away the knight's sword, climbed forward a few steps and leaned over to Panis: "When will we leave? Do you have to wait for it to finish eating?"

"Actually, no need, the sword-blade lizard that appears on the ground is almost in danger. If you don't force it, it will never take the initiative to attack the enemy on the ground." Panis said: "So we can leave now."

"Then... wait." Catherine suddenly said, "What did it find?"

The sword-blade lizard, who was struggling to eat, suddenly raised his head vigilantly, patrolled around with vigilance, and looked for a while, and suddenly turned around maniacly, as if he wanted to escape but couldn't find the direction. After a few turns, he dug the ground like crazy, and in a few seconds it re-entered the ground, and the soil layer on the ground quickly returned to its original state, and no traces of being dug were seen.

The forest returned to silence, but the silence did not last long. Soon, a rustling sound came from all around. After a while, more than twenty of them looked a little like puppies, but they were smaller than small dogs. The monster with a single horn on its head poked out from the woods.

The puppy-like monster in the lead sniffed in the air and let out a low whimper. A group of "puppies" immediately rushed out of the woods. They first ran to the position where the sword-blade lizard was originally lurking, but soon found that there was nothing there and immediately turned their target to its current position.

The lead "puppy" first walked to the place where the sword-blade lizard was hiding again, and dug it down the ground, and then whimpered again. When the other "puppy" heard the order, they shook their bodies neatly, and then spread out to surround the sword-blade lizard's location.

"Look at the ground." Panis said suddenly in surprise: "Look carefully, a very small goal."

After looking carefully, after the "puppies" trembled their bodies, they kept crawling out of their hair that was so small that the naked eye could hardly detect. After crawling out of the "puppies", they gathered directly to the location of the sword-blade lizard. I don't know how they did it, but it was obvious that the little insects easily drilled into the thick soil and disappeared from the surface.

Soon, a miserable scream sounded underground. The sword-blade lizard screamed and dug up the soil and rushed to the surface. He didn't bother to escape. He began to wail and roll around the ground while rolling, rubbing hard on the ground, as if he wanted to relieve the itch in his body. However, the excellent cuticle on its body shattered its hopes. No matter how it rubbed, the itch on its body could not be relieved to any extent.

The "puppies" in a circle made excited screams. A puppies jumped near the head of the lizard and sprayed a cloud of mist from the top of the head. When they saw the mist covering the lizard's head, they immediately jumped back to their original position. The second one also jumped over and sprayed the same mist. More than twenty "puppies" kept spraying the mist, and the covered sword-blade lizard rolled slowly and weaker, and its power became weaker. In the end, they could only twitch and collapse on the ground, without any movement.

The leader of the "puppy" sobbed again to celebrate the simple victory. The other "puppy" burst out with force that was completely disproportionate to their size. They easily worked together to lift the hundreds of kilograms of sword-blade lizard, and quickly disappeared into the forest with the lizard.

"This is..." Vivian hesitated on the notebook for a while: "This is symbiosis."

"It should be a symbiosis." Panis nodded: "The insects may be sucking the blood of these monsters, or sharing prey, but they will assist the group of monsters to hunt. It should be to take advantage of the bugs' own subtle characteristics to drill into the gaps in the cuticle layer of the sword-blade lizard, crawl and gnaw on the skin or muscle surface under the cuticle layer, causing the prey to lose its combat effectiveness due to itching, and then the monsters spray paralyzed the prey to complete the hunting."

"A very interesting symbiosis system." Vivian closed the notebook with satisfaction: "The harvest this time is really great."

"It's so funny." Lina rubbed her arms with her hands and said disgustedly: "Go quickly and go quickly. I don't want to deal with these guys anymore. It's so dense that I feel uncomfortable when I think about it."
