Apart from the basic troops that stayed behind to guard the base, the troops that went out to scout accounted for more than half of the total players, and the majority of them were Green Titan players.
Currently, the base was short of shapeshifting elves, and there were too few agility units. Each team even seemed to be very nervous about assigning a ranger or wind demon.
However, for scouting, agility units were essential. Therefore, the 4,000 Green Titans were divided into eight directions, with 500 people in each direction. They were also divided into ten teams, and each team was equipped with two developers and one agility unit.
According to rainy girl’s instructions, they moved slowly in a fan-shaped formation. They were not too anxious. Even the wind demons of the flying units maintained a certain distance from the team that they could support at any time.
Crack… ! … It would definitely not be too far from their base. ! Rainy Girl, who was the commander-in-chief in the base, thought so.
If they were too far away, there was no need to alert the enemy by locking down the flying units in their base. It was obviously a temporary reaction of the so-called void forces after Li Goudan discovered the traces the last time.
Since the traces could be found not too far from the base, they would naturally not be too far from it. As for why the other party did not choose to stay away from their base in the first place, rainy girl had two guesses in her heart, the first was that the so-called rift in the void could not choose its location as it pleased.
That was understandable. If it could choose its location as it pleased, according to the Liege’s description of how terrifying such creatures were, the universe would have been overrun long ago.
According to this theory, the sudden appearance of the crack here was most likely an accident.
As for the second one… There was someone on the inside!
When she was studying Arcana, her teacher had told her that advanced arcanists could build a portal and teleport people directly to a coordinate mark hundreds of thousands of light years away!
Her level could not understand the principle, but she had asked about the basic casting conditions, which was to mark the Arcana mark at the teleportation location in advance, and advanced arcanists could even cooperate with each other, each of them marked the arcane imprints of others tens of thousands of light years away from each other.
According to this theory, rainy melon had also wondered if someone in the base had marked the mark of the void, which led to this incident?
In fact, the Lord Seer had also suspected this matter, and the first suspect was the pack of dogs that Li Goudan had reported to him.
Almost on the same day, Seer dissected two of them, but did not find any void energy or void characteristics.
He also indicated that the arcane mage instructor in the base had performed deep hypnosis, but still could not get anything out of these dead dogs.
In the end, he could only conclude that these dead dogs were just ordinary stray dogs, but they just happened to appear at the place where the Void was active that day.
As for why they could speak in human language… … Perhaps it was just as the Overlord had thought..? … It was just an accidental high-level stringed dog, right?
However, rainy girl, Wu Gua, still had some doubts. From time to time, she would glance at the stringed dogs that were locked in cages behind her.
“Look at the mud, You Idiot!”The few dogs immediately spoke in human language.
The corner of rainy girl’s mouth twitched. Looking at these dead dogs that had extremely human expressions, she really wanted to capture a few of them like the Overlord and dissect them!
“Report to the seventh squad from the southeast. We’ve found traces of monsters!”
The sudden voice interrupted rainless melon’s malice towards the dead dogs behind her. She turned to the communicator and said, “Report the location and the surrounding geographical environment!”
“About ten kilometers away from the base, we’re passing through a mountainous area. The monster attacked our Air Force unit and is flying towards the mountainous area!”
“Ignore it!”Raingirl wugua quickly said, “Continue walking towards the main road and do not enter the complex terrain. The energy of the crack will be unstable and it is unlikely that it will appear in the complex terrain. Otherwise, there would have been a landslide.”
“Understood!”
As they hung up, the communicators of dozens of small squads began to emit sounds. They were also the news of the attack.
Rainless Melon’s eyes flashed with a bright light as she thought to herself, ‘as expected…’.
Then, with the strength of a single person, she quickly processed the feedback of the dozens of squads, making the group of dogs behind her feel inexplicably strange.
Boss Dog looked at rainless melon’s back with a gloomy expression. He thought to himself, ‘a high-quality developer is a troublesome thing. Should I find an opportunity to bite her to death?’?
———-
“Damn, what was that?”In the southeast team that reported the first position, a group of Green Titans stared blankly at the feathers on the ground, and the strange cry of the monster on the other side of the mountain.
Just now, when they were marching in formation, the only flying unit in the sky, Li Goudan, suddenly let out a shrill scream. Then, everyone saw a purple monster flying in the sky, it had wings that looked exactly like the wind demon’s, but it was doing something extremely terrifying. It grabbed Li Goudan’s neck and fiercely bit down. Blood splattered everywhere, but because it was flying too high.., the group of people did not have long-range skills, so they did not know how to help. They could only stare blankly.
“F * ck… This game… its background is quite big. It can even pass the trial…”
A group of players were stunned. They watched as the monster dragged Li Goudan to a hill a few hundred meters away. A beast-like claw grabbed Li Goudan, who was still twitching and asking them for help, with a provocative look on his face.
To be honest, the monster’s appearance was not bad. Its appearance and body shape were not like those deformed monsters in horror movies, which caused people to feel nauseous for the sake of nausea, resulting in fear and rejection, on the contrary, the monster’s body shape was very perfect. Although it was not in human form, its smooth muscle lines and body shape were evolving in an extremely perfect manner. It had the wings of a wind demon on its back, its body had the muscle lines of a Green Titan. When the two were put together, they were unusually in sync.
However, the players were still stimulated by an inexplicable chill, causing goosebumps to rise all over their bodies. It was not because of its appearance, but the primitive malice that made them feel as if they had encountered a natural enemy, causing them to feel a physical rejection!
“Hey, what a hot-tempered person! !”One of the Green Titans raised the long spear in his hand and threw it at Li Goudan, the strength of the spear was astonishing. The long spear instantly turned into a sharp beam and shot straight at Li Goudan. Under the low gravity, the friction was reduced, but the force of the throw was also greater, and the speed was also more astonishing!
However, the monster was even faster. It dodged the throw very nimbly and let out a strange laugh in the air. It deliberately circled around Li Goudan, who was on the verge of death. The provocation was getting more and more intense.
The group of players immediately became jealous. They wanted to rush up and tear the thing apart, but were stopped by the developer who was commanding the team.
“Stop! !”The developer glanced at the void monster in the distance. According to the image captured just now, the intelligence provided the information.
This was a level 3 void monster called a predator. It could rapidly evolve the outstanding characteristics of other creatures by preying on other creatures. Its growth rate was extremely fast, but because it evolved too fast, the lifespan of this creature was extremely low, the lifespan of a rapidly dividing cell while evolving was usually only a few days. This was very similar to the Mayfly D.
This kind of thing was usually used by the Void to quickly kill and collect living weapons made from indigenous genes. The cost was low, and it could be said that it was one of the species that needed the least void energy among the level 3 void creatures.
However, even so, there was only one such monster that came to attack them. Just as Big Boss Rain had said, the void force had not yet formed a scale, and they were short of manpower!
Thinking of this, he immediately said after receiving the order, “Ignore that monster. She can fly, but you guys can’t catch up. Continue moving toward the main road!”
“But… are we just going to ignore her like this?”The many Green Titan players looked at Li Goudan, who was moaning in pain.
“We can’t save her!”The developer player shook his head coldly. “If you chase after her, she will continue to fly with the hostages. Without long-range units, there is nothing to do but waste time.”
“Uh…”the players felt ashamed. However, what the other party said made sense. How could they, a group of melee units, catch up to a flying monster? If they chased after it, wouldn’t they be kite-flying like dogs?
“Let’s go, let’s go. Let’s hurry up and complete the mission as soon as possible. I don’t want to lose all my points.”
“That’s right… We slipped away!”
“Holy Sh * T… You Bunch of SH * T… Save me…”in the distance, Li Goudan saw that a group of players had actually turned around and slipped away towards the main road. Seeing that they were about to die, he was almost angered to death by this scene.
Bang! !
However, in the end, he was trampled to pieces by the monster. The Predator looked at the large group of players who ignored him as they walked forward, and his expression instantly became extremely gloomy.
