"So that's how it is. What's the name of the kind of fruit you eat? Why does it die?" Hearing Guan Heng's question, the leader of the hard-haired beast immediately said: "Young Master, please follow me, right here."

After saying that, it led everyone to a dead fruit tree more than ten feet away, and then turned to Guan Heng and said, "This is the fruit tree of 'Biye Fragrance Fruit'. When this fruit matures, it has a light pink color, exudes a scent of strange fragrance, and the surface is made of fish scale-like patterns, hence the name."

"Well..." Guan Heng nodded slightly after hearing this, and then the hard-haired beast continued: "In theory, these fruit trees have grown locally for thousands of years and have never died. I don't know what happened this year. Since last month, trees have been withering, which is really evil."

"Is that true? Could it be that I have suffered some disease or been worm-eatened?"

When the demon lord said this, he deliberately winked at the insect mother beside him. The latter snorted and said, "There is no trace of insect teeth gnawing on this tree. I think you are blind and you have such unrealistic assumptions, idiots."

"Uh..." The magic wolves were ridiculed in front of the insect mother, and the demon roar immediately blushed. It was about to refute a few words. The next moment, Guan Heng stretched out his hand and touched the tree body, and then said, "It seems that it was not dead because of natural reasons, right, the sword spirit?"

"That's right." At this moment, a stream of light flew out from the sword box on Guan Heng's back, and instantly turned into a sword spirit in front of everyone. He said to Guan Heng: "Master, the soil at the roots of these fruit trees seems to be a little strange. I suggest you check it now."

"Okay." Guan Heng nodded, suddenly waved his hand to release a large amount of earth spiritual energy, wrapping the roots of the withered fruit tree, and then penetrated into the soil.

As soon as the breath was over, Guan Heng frowned slightly: "It's strange. According to the exploration of the earth spiritual energy, a large part of the soil under these fruit trees has disappeared. No wonder they will wither. This way, it will be only a matter of time before the whole fruit forest witheres!"

"What?!" Hearing this, the hard-haired beast and the crystal butterfly were both shocked because they both like to eat the fruits grown here.

The Jinlan Crystal Butterfly is better, at least it can fly elsewhere or even forage in another world, but the hard-haired beast cannot, so the withering and prosperity of the fruit tree will have a fatal impact on the local beast group.

"Young Master, please help me." The boss of the hard-haired beast knelt at Guan Heng's feet and kowtowed repeatedly. It said: "The life and death of this clan depends on your words. Please help us save the fruit tree..."

"Okay, you get up first." Guan Heng sighed: "Since you've been here, I can't ignore it."

Immediately afterwards, Guan Heng turned his head and asked, "Sword Spirit, tell me, what happened to the soil below the roots of these fruit trees disappear?"

"Two possibilities, one is that the soil layer collapses due to vibration in the earth's crust, but this possibility should be very small." Speaking of this, the sword spirit asked the boss of the hairy beast: "Have there been earthquakes and other disasters nearby recently?"

The other party shook his head and replied, "No, this kind of thing has rarely happened in the past two years."

"Then there is only the second possibility. The soil disappears, which is done by 'some kind of guy' on purpose." Jian Ling analyzed: "Hard-haired beast, think about it carefully. Are there any underground beasts or insects living under this land?"

"It should be, and there should be more than one."

The hard-haired beast said: "Because the roots of the green leaf fragrant scale fruit also emit a faint fragrance, it sometimes attracts the guys living underground. One of them is called the "Scythe-Toothed Gold Falcon", which is a very powerful beast. We usually don't dare to provoke each other easily."

After a little pause, it continued: "As for the other type, called the 'blind velvet rat', they are strange beasts that live underground all year round. They have obese bodies and fierce tempers. Because they cannot come from the ground, their eyes have extremely poor vision, and they can basically rely on smell and hearing."

"Oh, are there only these two insects and beasts?"

"Well, there are two of them nearby."

After hearing the words of the hard-haired beast, Guan Heng said slightly, "The insect mother, the demon horn... and the earth palace toad, follow me to the nearby ground to see. Ice dragon, you and the general should stay outside. Constrain these crystal butterflies and the hard-haired beasts, and don't let them fight again."

Bingjiao replied: "Don't worry, Mr. Guan, this is a trivial matter."

"Hey, is there any shortcuts to the underground around this fruit tree?" Hearing Guan Heng's inquiry, the boss of the hard-haired beast said hurriedly: "Yes, there is a hole on the edge of the fruit forest a hundred feet away that can lead to the deep underground. The little beast is willing to act as a guide and lead everyone to."

He pointed his head slightly: "Okay, lead the way."

...

After a few breaths, everyone came to the nearest of the earth cave. The insect mother landed nearby, looked left and right, and the earth palace toad asked, "Hey, what are you doing?"

"I seemed to smell an unusual smell, some of which looked like evil spirits, and had a faint smell of blood."

"It's true." Guan Hengxiang looked left and right, and then asked: "Have you ever had any fights around here?"

"No." The boss of the hairy beast said this with certainty, and then said, "But, I heard from the little brothers of the same clan mention it. Recently, it seems that a companion disappeared nearby for no reason. I have also come to investigate once, but I found nothing."

"Oh, so, your missing tribe is worrying."

"Yes, if they are dragged into the underground tunnel by ferocious insects and beasts, ninety percent will become each other's delicious meals and will not survive."

When they said this, the boss of the hard-haired beast had already led Guan Heng and the others into the earth tunnel. After turning around, everyone had already arrived at a deep underground soil layer.

"Young Master Guan, behind the earth wall next to it, is the location of the fruit trees of the green leaf and fragrant scale fruit. Their roots must have extended to the vicinity." "Well, I can feel, Sword Spirit, Earth Palace Toad, where are you?"

"Well, the surrounding earth spirit is too thin." said the big toad: "It would be strange if fruit trees can survive in places like this. In my opinion, if the soil layer disappears, someone must have tampered with it."

"My opinion is basically the same as it." Jianling also spoke: "Because there is no nourishment of soil and water, the roots shrink very quickly, which is an important reason why they die."

"Well, then let's confirm it."

"Bang!" Guan Heng suddenly came out his palm and slapped the earth wall next to him. "Swish!" A huge earth hole passage suddenly appeared in front of everyone. Guan Heng said: "Demon, go in and take a look."

"Yes!" The demon shark looked beside him for a while, and when he heard that he finally had the help of himself, he immediately shook himself in.

"Hey, this is?!"
