After speaking to Ximu, Richard turned over his hand and took out a tube of grass-green potion and drank it to repair the damage to his body.
Although the energy furnace gave him unlimited energy, the burden on his body was not small, and it absorbed vitality, which made him not want to fight a war of attrition with super creatures. That would be too stupid.
After all, even if you win the battle, the price paid is too heavy, and you won't come back after squeezing it from Ximu, right
Squeezing is about cost-effectiveness.
After drinking the potion, Richard looked at Ximu, waiting for the other party's reply.
After listening to Richard's words, Ximu didn't know if he had guessed Richard's inner thoughts. He was silent for a few seconds and said: "Okay, I'll help you. Although I can fully display the ability of the 'Wise Man of the Tree', this will be helpful to me." It’s not a small harm, but it’s okay to resolve this matter as soon as possible.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ximu lowered his body, and his feet made of tree roots sank deeply into the ground. The trunk turned gray-white, the crown of the tree shook, and thin translucent lines flew out, flying towards one tree after another in the forest. .
Originally, in the normal state, he could only get information from the few trees he controlled, but now he was forcibly connected to the entire forest. This time, every tree is his eyes, every tree is his body, and every inch of grass is his skin.
The moment Richard felt the tin wood take root in the soil, the whole forest became slightly quiet, and then there was a continuous "rustling" sound all around, as if countless people were whispering. If he was an ordinary person, he would have a nervous breakdown.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
More than ten seconds later, Ximu's closed eyes suddenly opened, and he said with awareness: "In the northeast, near the edge of the forest, there was a lot of movement. During the battle, I saw the figure of a golden beetle. Although there was some interference and the figure was very blurry, I guess it is probably the mother of this group of bugs."
"Are you sure?" Richard looked a little doubtful, "You can find the opponent so quickly? And, a battle happened to expose the opponent? Isn't it too coincidental? It's not a trap, right?"
"This -" Ximu also hesitated. The long battle made him fully realize the wisdom of the strange biological mother worm. The other party really knows how to set a trap. Not only can he do it, but he can also set traps within traps, so Richard's suspicion is well-founded.
After thinking for a while, Ximu replied: "I can't confirm the other party's true situation. I can only provide you with the information I know. It's up to you to decide whether to go or not."
"Okay." Richard narrowed his eyes and made a decision after a few seconds. It was better to go and take a look. Even if there is a trap, he is confident to get out of it, and if it is the real situation, that would be the best.
In addition, he was also a little curious about the sudden battle there. Annie, Nancy and Groe were arranged to rest in a safe area not long ago. They couldn't be the other three. Could it be that someone else broke into the forest and helped him
Thinking of this, Richard stepped forward, and the surface of his body was wrapped in white light and flew away quickly.
…
Time, push forward a little bit.
A new day has arrived, and the morning has just begun.
Outside the forest, a figure approached, and finally stopped at the edge of the forest. It was Bibi.
"Huh...huh..."
Bibi panted slightly, and there were rare sweat marks and tired look on her always white cheeks. It had to be said that the tracking distance this time was beyond her imagination.
but…
"We finally caught up, huh, let's see how you can run this time!" After Bibi took a few breaths, she looked into the depths of the forest with her big eyes open, gritted her teeth, and was about to go deeper.
And just before stepping into the forest, she suddenly thought of something and stopped to look at the white dove that was following her all the way.
The white pigeon was resting on a branch nearby. Bibi looked over, pondered for a second, and then issued an order: "You stay here, don't follow me anymore."
"Cuckoo." The white pigeon called out, a little puzzled. It had worked so hard to follow it all the way, and even guided Bibi in the direction of its breath. Why didn't it take it into the forest
"It's very simple, because I think bringing you in will drag me down." Bibi said unceremoniously, and began to dig up the history, "Before, it was because of you every time, so I always almost succeeded, but in the end I failed. . This time I have chased you all the way here, and I must not fail again, so you stay here."
"Cuckoo! Cuckoo! Cuckoo! Cuckoo!" The white pigeon shouted excitedly, fluttering its wings while shouting, and defended unconvincedly.
Bibi didn't listen at all, and said rudely: "It's your fault, it's your fault. It must be you who brought me bad luck, so I couldn't catch him, so you have to stay here - if you dare to secretly If you follow me, if I find you, I will definitely cook you and eat you."
"Goo!"
The white pigeon was so frightened that it shrank its neck.
"Hmph, that's pretty much it." Bibi looked at it, hummed softly, and strode into the forest. The white pigeon kept watching Bibi's figure disappearing into the depths of the forest from the branch. After hesitating for a long time, it finally did not dare to follow and flew away with its wings flashing.
On the other side, Bibi entered the forest and moved forward quickly. After a while, she suddenly stopped with a frown.
She was keenly aware that the surrounding environment was not normal. There were no living animals, not even earthworms or insects under the ground. The entire forest was lifeless, like a desert.
Is this a trap
Bibi frowned deeply and looked around, her thoughts whirling and she made some guesses.
Was it a trap from the beginning
Yes, very likely.
She had been tracking her target for so long, so she might have made a mistake somewhere, and the target had noticed it. The target must have been very frightened when he discovered her existence, so he tried hard to find a solution, and finally decided to lure her here and ambush her to kill her.
As soon as she thought of this, Bibi heard a "rustling" sound, and more than fifty strange creatures that looked like black panthers appeared, vaguely surrounding her, their bodies low, and making dangerous screams. After that, they didn't give much time to react. They all rushed forward and launched a collective attack.
But just as they were fluttering in the air, their whole bodies stagnated slightly. The next moment, it was as if a net cut through their bodies, and with a "pop", a large amount of blood mist exploded in the field. Most of the weird black panther creatures were cut into pieces. Only a small half of the weird black panther creatures were spared, but they were too scared to step forward.
The blood mist filled the air, and Bibi stood in the center of the field, looking at the tragic scene like a slaughterhouse, and felt certain in her heart: Sure enough, this place is indeed a trap, and the target found her, so she was deliberately lured here to kill her. These strange animals should be one of the ambush set by the target.
It's just a pity that I underestimated her. She can't solve it casually.
Since the target dares to set a trap for her, it means that the target is probably directing all this. Then she must break the entire trap, find out the other party, and let the other party know that she is not easy to mess with. Then take the other person back, complete the task, and finally have fun.
Thinking of this, Bibi looked at the remaining dozen weird black panther creatures with great motivation.
At this time, the strange black panther creature had realized Bibi's amazing strength, and did not rush to die. It retreated decisively and fled deep into the forest.
Bibi shouted: "Stop, don't try to run! Do you hear me, stop!"
While shouting, he chased after him.
