"The bacteria are not a known species, and I am not sure whether there are toxins. It is recommended not to use them as food. I can make a preliminary judgment after the laboratory is established. In addition, the insects here are very large."
Qiu Yaokang said as he stretched out his hand to indicate the bite mark left on the fungus.
"I understand, let's go."
Unable to identify the direction, the team simply moved forward in a straight line.
The team went all the way forward, and after walking for about ten minutes, there were gradually more and more scattered stone pillars around.
There are many raised stone pillars, like a stone forest.
Tang Mingyue, who was walking at the front of the team, suddenly stopped and signaled the team to pause.
Somehow, Tang Mingyue's heart went crazy from the moment she walked into this area.
The deeper you go, the more intense the uneasy feeling becomes.
Everyone looked at Tang Mingyue, wondering if she had discovered anything.
"Do you think the stone pillars here seem a little strange?"
Tang Mingyue kept looking at the darkness around her as she spoke, "I always feel like someone is peeping at us in the darkness..."
Victor stopped in front of a stone pillar that penetrated the ground and the top of the cave to take a closer look.
"The stone pillars here have traces of artificial excavation. Do you think the marks on them look like eyes?"
As he spoke, Victor illuminated the top of the stone pillar with his flashlight.
If you look carefully, you will see a strange picture and text carved on the stone pillar, which looks like a closed eye.
Everyone couldn't help but let out small exclamations.
"Really are."
"Look, it's also on this stone pillar."
"It seems like every stone pillar has..."
After careful inspection, everyone found that there were strange marks on each stone pillar.
"Who's over there!"
Mirhauch raised his brows suddenly, let out a light drink, and threw a flying knife towards the back.
"boom!"
The sharp flying knife hit the stone pillar with a dull sound, and the entire handle of the knife sank into the stone pillar.
"Swift!!"
Looking in the direction where the flying knife hit, a short shadow quickly jumped into the shadow from behind a stone pillar.
"Chi chi chi... chi chi..."
Mirhauch's knife seemed to wake up the nearby creatures in the darkness, and there were tiny rustling sounds all around.
"What is it?"
"I don't know. It was too fast and I didn't see it clearly."
The sounds all around are getting louder and louder. Players should be alert, form a circle, and raise their weapons to guard the surrounding area.
"Be careful, there are many enemies nearby. We may be surrounded."
Wei Tao frowned.
I encountered such a strange environment when I first came here.
One can imagine how difficult this trial is.
"Be careful and try not to attack proactively."
The players maintained their formation and pointed their guns into the darkness.
The small sounds gradually stopped, leaving only the only sound on the right side.
"Shasha... Shasha..."
The sound is getting closer.
"Click click click."
The players raised their firearms and pointed their muzzles in the direction of the sound.
A short monster holding a bone spear walked out of the darkness ahead.
Shining a flashlight on it, everyone could clearly see the shadow they just saw.
It looks like some kind of humanoid life form that walks upright, about half a person tall.
Their skin is covered with dark red spots, their legs are extremely thick, their heads have no necks, their brains are directly connected to their bodies, and most of their faces have split mouths.
Saliva kept dripping from the corners of his mouth, looking quite disgusting.
"Don't take the initiative to attack!"
Wei Tao immediately raised his hand to signal everyone not to act rashly.
Mo Jiawei stood behind the team and covered his left eye with his hand.
[Creature: Cave Dwelling Beast (Leader Level)].
"The eyes of the lifeforms that have lived in dark caves for a long time have deteriorated. They can distinguish through sound and perception. They are a special ethnic group and are used to fighting in groups."
Mo Jiawei quickly recounted the information obtained through the reconnaissance technique, "Special skills include hardened skin, evil stabbing, poison, alienation perception and several unknown skills."
"The threat level is judged to be extremely high."
Mo Jiawei's heart suddenly sank and he said loudly: "Be careful, he is a leader-level life form!"
Everyone suddenly became nervous when they heard this.
The boss level in mid-level games!
And it’s also a creature that fights as a group!
Who would have thought that they would encounter a BOSS monster just after entering the trial? How to fight?
The players stared at the monster holding a bone spear with extreme vigilance.
The cave-dwelling beast walked in front of everyone and stopped, grinning, revealing its sharp fangs, and made an unknown grunting sound.
"Gurguguchichi..."
Wei Tao frowned.
Good news, the monsters seem willing to communicate.
The bad news is, they don't understand what the other person is saying at all.
Everyone looked at each other with confused expressions on their faces.
Considering the difficulty of the trial task, almost all the players Wei Tao brought to participate in the trial were combat-oriented. Without relevant language skills, the players could not understand what the cave-dwelling beast was muttering.
Sandy approached Mo Jiawei and asked in a low voice: "Awei, what is he mumbling about?"
"I don't know, what about you?"
"Hey, how would I know? This kind of monster and I have nothing in common." Sandy stepped back helplessly, "I don't think this guy looks very artistic."
"Forehead……"
Mo Jiawei felt weird and thought to himself, "Why do you think I understand?"
Seeing that the resident beast was getting more and more irritable, Wei Tao could only step forward and cupped his hands towards it, "No offense, we came here by chance. If we accidentally offend, we can leave now."
The monster was silent for a moment, then suddenly let out a sharp cry.
"Kakaka..."
In response to stress, everyone brought up firearms.
"Shashasha..."
In the surrounding darkness, densely packed cave-dwelling beasts holding bone spears emerged, surrounding the players.
"VSOMOBD..."
The cave-dwelling beast made a grunting sound again.
This time, Fang Heng vaguely recognized a few syllables from the voice of the resident beast, but still couldn't understand what he was saying.
After saying that, the leader of the cave-dwelling beast turned around and walked deeper.
The originally gathered resident beasts also made way for a passage.
After walking forward for more than ten steps, I sensed that Wei Tao and his party were still in the same place. The leader of the cave dweller beast turned his head again and made a grunting sound from his mouth, seeming to urge everyone to continue moving forward.
Tang Mingyue pursed her lips and said, "It feels like he wants us to follow him."
"Well, I think that's what it means." Milhauch looked around at the resident beasts around him, "What should I say? Do you want to fight them or give in?"
"It's too dangerous to take action. The situation is unclear at the moment. It's not time to fight to the death. Let's follow up and take a look first and be ready for battle."
