The chirping of birds echoed in the early morning forest.
As Zhen Jin and others approached, a flock of birds flapped their wings and flew out of the branches in panic.
Perhaps because it is close to the desert, there is no morning fog here, the sun shines in the green forests, and the air is full of fresh smell.
Needle Gold is still opening the way at the forefront.
Although nothing could be seen from the outside, Zhen Jin's tailbone and buttocks were still a little numb and sore at the moment.
He was in good health, and the injuries he sustained in the desert had healed long before he entered the forest.
As an ordinary person, Bai Ya has only recovered slightly from his fracture. So far, he cannot draw the bow.
"Yesterday's training seemed a bit heavy." Zhen Jin thought to himself.
He knew that the numbness and soreness was caused by training the lizard to flick its tail last night.
After Zhenjin returned to his human form, although he lost his tail, the injuries he suffered in his lizard form would still be left on his body in some similar form.
Just like when he was injured in human form, he would not mutate into other life forms, allowing the injury to heal instantly.
"Hitting trees and rocks with my tail will not hurt me. After all, I am transforming into a black iron-level lizard."
"It seems I have a problem with the way the lizard's tail exerts force."
"While practicing tail flicking, I injured myself."
"If it weren't for my strong recovery ability, I'm afraid my walking posture would be deformed."
Zhenjin sighed secretly.
After entering the forest, it was inconvenient for him to practice late at night.
Previously in the desert, the exploration team arranged for one person to keep vigil at night.
Now that the two of them are keeping watch at the same time, Zhenjin cannot leave the vicinity of the camp for too long. If it is too long, other companions will worry and search for him, causing even greater trouble.
Zhenjin can transform into a gun scorpion, and can also transform into a complete fat ball flying fish. But last night, he only had time to train the green lizard form, and there was no time to train the other two forms.
"I'm basically familiar with the Spear Scorpion form."
"As for the Fat Ball Flying Fish..." Zhenjin had secretly transformed in the desert long ago, and found that this form was not practical.
The most powerful attack method of the Fat Ball Flying Fish is to shoot jet-black poisonous fish spines.
But the premise of this attack method is that the fat ball flying fish will self-destruct.
This is the way to die together.
Sometimes, Fat Ball Flying Fish dies too suddenly and doesn't even have time to self-destruct.
If Acupuncture uses this method, it is undoubtedly a fancy suicide.
In addition, the Fat Ball Flying Fish can become invisible.
But after Zhenjin's mutation, he discovered that although this kind of invisibility cannot be observed by the human eye, when the Fat Ball Flying Fish floats forward, it will open its mouth and make a croaking sound. If Zhenjin closes his mouth and does not make a croaking sound, he cannot interact with him.
The outside world exchanges air, so it cannot float quickly in the air.
The croaking sound reduces the value of stealth to a great extent.
So after knowing this, Zhen Jin was not willing to train his fat ball flying fish form.
He thought about it and felt that the most practical one would be the green lizard form.
The green lizard's eyes were a huge help to him.
The green lizard's acid spray can be said to be the strongest long-range attack method currently mastered by Zhenjin. The power of the acid is much greater than that of wooden darts, and the range is almost the same. Zhenjin is particularly good at accuracy.
The combination of the two is very powerful.
The green lizard form is only at the black iron level, which is actually an advantage.
The silver-level gun scorpion form will violently consume the magic energy in the core. In comparison, the black iron green lizard consumes much less magic energy. This allows Zhenjin to have more time to fight and practice this kind of
form.
The Black Iron Green Lizard is a conventional fighting method, and the Silver Spear Scorpion is a trump card that will only be used when encountering a strong enemy.
This is Jin Jin's plan.
He didn't originally think so.
After being able to truly control the core, his feelings towards the core were not only curiosity, exploration, and surprise, but also fear, preparedness, and vigilance.
He was not originally planning to use the inner magic core frequently, but after being chased by Fat Ball Flying Fish in the oasis, Zhen Jin's idea changed.
"If I didn't have green lizard eyes, I wouldn't be able to spot the fat ball flying fish."
"I myself am in bad luck, Zidi, Cangxu and the others will basically not survive!"
"On this island, anything can happen, and danger is likely to come at the next moment."
"I obviously have a heart core that can absorb blood and master certain abilities to deal with this danger. But because I am cautious, I am not prepared in advance. When the crisis comes, I can only wait for death. If this is the result, then I am not
Is that too pedantic?”
With these thoughts in mind, Zhenjin gritted his teeth and decided to use his core to make as many preparations as possible for himself and for Zidi and others.
Only by planning ahead can you be prepared.
The complete form of the Fat Ball Flying Fish is the result of this idea - when in the oasis, Zhen Jin carried others on his back and secretly killed many Fat Ball Flying Fish, and then collected the complete bloodline.
Can transform into a black iron level monster flying fish.
"Huh? Wait a moment." Zhen Jin, who was walking, suddenly caught a glimpse of something strange and immediately stopped.
Everyone immediately became nervous.
Since entering the forest this time, Zhenjin has never taken the initiative to stop. Could it be that he sensed a huge threat lurking nearby?
Zhen Jin walked slowly to the left, and after a dozen steps, he stopped under a tree.
He reached out and touched the bark of the tree. A small piece of bark was missing, as if it was caused by a sharp weapon.
Zhen Jin looked around and soon found more tiny traces.
Then, his eyes paused, as if he had discovered something.
He went deep into the thick grass, bent down and picked up a piece of white and silver armor.
Others came over. Cang Xu saw the armor piece in Zhen Jin's hand and said in surprise: "This is part of the armor. The material is of high quality, it is fine steel."
Zhen Jin nodded slightly and continued to search around.
Footprints of various shades, residual bloodstains, broken trees that fell everywhere, the exposed land after the turf was completely shoveled... More and more traces were discovered by him, but the needle gold could not simulate the scene of the battle.
"There must have been a fierce battle here."
"The surviving side deliberately cleaned the battlefield, leaving me unable to make any further judgments."
Zidi's beautiful eyes blinked: "So, is there anyone around here?"
Bai Ya asked: "What are they fighting with?"
Zhen Jin frowned, and his tone was not very sure: "It seems to be a giant beast, with a body larger than the explosive hoof horse, and very heavy. The main attack method seems to be headbutting."
"The crowd should have won. Warcraft doesn't go out of its way to clean up the battlefield."
Zhen Jin makes a judgment rather reluctantly.
"Are you sure it's a human?" Zidi asked.
Zhen Jin shook his head: "I can only tell that they are in humanoid form, but since they can clean the battlefield and do so well, it shows that they must have high intelligence. After a fierce battle, they still have the energy to clean up the traces, which shows the strength of this group of people
Not bad.”
Cangxu squatted on the ground and touched the footprints with his fingers: "This battle happened a few days ago. What I am more concerned about is, why did they clean the battlefield and clean up the traces?"
This problem of Cang Xu is exactly what Zhen Jin is worried about.
Zhen Jin and others were attacked by monsters and rarely cleaned the battlefield. At most, they cleaned up blood stains to prevent the smell of blood from attracting other predators.
But this group of people not only cleaned the battlefield, but also did it very meticulously.
This is not common sense.
Using this kind of intensity to clean up the battlefield is not worth the gain. Because people will waste a lot of time and physical energy. In the process of surviving on an isolated island, every resource and every bit of physical energy needs to be saved.
Even if they leave these traces, the predators in the forest are less intelligent and will not benefit from battlefield traces.
But this group of people did exactly that.
What do they need to guard against?
Who are they? Are they the crew of the Pig's Kiss, or... the people on this island?
Zhen Jin looked into the distance, his eyes a little lost because of thinking.
Something unexpected happened.
Now, he had two choices before him.
The first option is to follow their original plan and rush to the place where Cang Xu and others entered the forest. In this way, they can verify and fill in the map.
The second option is to abandon this plan and follow these traces to approach this mysterious group that suddenly appeared.
There are a lot of risks here.
The combat power of the mysterious gang is unknown, but it should be high. Their number is unknown, their race is unknown, and their intentions are unknown.
Everyone was silent, some continued to observe the traces, while others were wary of their surroundings.
They are all waiting for Zhen Jin's decision.
Without spending too much time thinking, Zhen Jin quickly made a decision: "Abandon the previous plan, let's follow these traces. Pay attention to safety."
"I understand." Bai Ya responded.
"Yes, Master." Lan Zao said concisely.
Cang Xu and Zidi both nodded, and no one raised any objection.
The five-person exploration team changed its direction and no longer walked along the dividing line between the forest and the desert, but officially went deep into the forest.
Two hours later, a river appeared in front of everyone.
Zhen Jin looked at the gurgling river and couldn't help but sigh.
At this point, the clues are all gone.
He originally followed the traces, but the group was cleaning up the traces along the way.
They were experienced and capable. Several days passed, and Zhen Jin tried his best to identify their previous route.
But when they arrived at the river, the traces left by the mysterious gang completely disappeared due to the current.
"The flow of the river is very slow, and the river bed is also very low, only reaching the knees of adults. They stepped into the river here, but did not go directly to the other side. It is not known whether they will follow the river or go upstream at a certain location.
Log in."
"However, this also means that the river is not very dangerous."
Zhen Jin squinted his eyes, his eyes changed into lizard eyes, and found that there was almost no life in the river, at most there were some small fish and shrimps.
"Let's move on." Zhen Jin thought for a while, then led the team across the river to the other side.
There was no trace to follow, so Zhenjin walked in the direction Cang Xu estimated, and his destination was the beach where the Pig Kiss ran aground.
About a quarter of an hour later, Zhen Jin was the first to hear the noisy and harsh sound.
As the distance shortened, a group of five people discovered a camp in the forest.
The camp is surrounded by a row of wooden piles in a circle. The camp is not large, but there is a wooden hall built in the center. There are also two arrow towers in the camp, one has been completed, and the other has just taken shape.
A herd of beasts is raging in the camp, and the people in the camp have huddled in the central wooden hall. They are in a very bad situation.
