Chapter 352 Under the Shale

(For the hall master "Down with the Wind" plus more first offer!)

Well, what's going on?

Mu Fan picked up the palm of his hand and saw that there was that kind of light reddish-brown mucus on it. He rubbed it with his fingers and found that it was greasy.

what is this?

Mu Fan stood up curiously and looked at the air root. He didn't see anything with this color on it when he sat down.

Seeing that Mu Fan had just sat down and then got up and squatted there, Bai Mao, who was next to him after drinking water, asked, "What's wrong?"

There is nothing abnormal on the surface...

Mu Fan grabbed it with his hand again, and the position of the fingertips still had that cold and slippery feeling.

Under air roots?

Half squatting on the ground, Mu Fan tilted his head and looked up.

A piece of reddish-brown mucus has been covered under the aerial roots.

It looks a bit like enlarged cell tissue.

Mu Fan looked down at the air roots in several other places, and found that there were such traces below.

"Come and take a look." Mu Fan waved to Bai Mao.

Yin Shuai looked down, and said puzzledly: "What is this? The reddish-brown mucus is so disgusting, it looks like a layer of living skin."

Mu Fan, who was still thinking, suddenly heard a black voice: "Wait! You said you found a reddish-brown mucus, does it look a bit like living soft tissue, with some irregular walls on it? grid."

Mu Fan hummed, which made Bai Mao think he was answering him.

In fact, Mu Fan was telling Hei to confirm.

"This is the creep of the Zegg tribe!"

Hei's voice startled Mu Fan. Is this the real territory mark of the Zege clan?

Looking up at the white hair, Mu Fan thought for a while and said, "Why is this kind of mucus only found on the backlit side of the air root, and the part facing up is not seen at all?"

Bai Mao spread his hands, how could he know, this question is really superfluous.

Mu Fan was still asking Hei.

"It means that this used to be the territory of the Zergers, but it is no longer. There must have been a nest of Zergers near here!" Hei's tone was extremely certain.

"Creep will reproduce by itself near the insect nest, but once they leave the energy supply of the insect nest, they will quickly shrink and disappear completely after more than 24 hours! The dark side you mentioned has a large number, indicating that the insect nest migrates or It took less than 18 hours to destroy it!"

Mu Fan inserted his hand into the soil and wiped off all the slime.

"Captain, did you find anything there?"

"No, I encountered a few scattered beetles without even guards, and now I have advanced almost 3 kilometers. What's the matter, Mu Fan?"

"I didn't meet a single Zegger on this road, nothing happened, just asking."

"Oh, be careful, contact me at any time if there is a situation."

At the end of the conversation, Mu Fan looked at Bai Mao who had stood up and said, "Let's be careful, follow me closely."

"Have you discovered the situation?"

Mu Fan nodded, pointed to the location of the air roots and said, "I suspect these are the trajectories of the bugs."

Because Hei just reminded him in the headset that if he followed the positions of these residual creeps, he would definitely find traces of Zeger.

But at the same time, Hei's tone is also very serious, because once there is a nest of insects, even if it is the lowest-level hatchery, the scale of the Zerger group cannot be resisted by an individual or even dozens of people.

The mechanized troops must be dispatched to clean up!

So Hei gave Mu Fan a death order, that is, if he finds any signs of large-scale Zeger activities, he will run away immediately!

Although Mu Fan was lucky about this sentence, he didn't say anything, but hummed.

Bai Mao, who was standing behind, watched Mu Fan's strange behavior, his eyebrows almost knit together.

What does it mean to take a step and touch the air root?

Wouldn't it be to find Zeger's trace based on this?

Bai Mao really guessed right, Mu Fan is indeed using this simple method now.

After flashing across an area with a radius of more than ten meters in succession, Mu Fan looked at his palm and finally settled on a direction.

These residual creeps disappeared from the high slope ahead, but remained along the ridge.

So Bai Mao watched Mu Fan stop and go, and the two began to move forward along an irregular arc.

Tracy, who was on the canopy of the giant tree behind Luo Jianjin, looked at the two green dots on the electronic map that deviated from the direction, and turned on the voice inquiry: "You two little brothers, your route has deviated from the direction."

It was originally at 9 o'clock, but now the two of them are heading towards 8 o'clock.

Mu Fan's voice also came back: "The terrain ahead is uneven, we are advancing along the edge."

"OK, be careful."

After another quarter of an hour, the two people who were walking and walking finally stopped because of Mu Fan's stop.

"Why don't you leave?"

"It's gone." Mu Fan shook off the reddish-brown slime on his hands. In front of him was a relatively large gentle rocky slope with sparse vegetation, and there were no traces of creep nearby.

"Then can we retreat?"

Baimao was going to walk along the gentle slope to the top and take a look before leaving.

"It should be, I can only continue to develop next time."

"Okay, I'll bury the monitor." Baimao pressed a metal ball into the soil, and then walked towards the rocky area.

Mu Fan looked left and right, there were not many trees nearby, but a lot of reddish weeds were overgrown. He also touched the grass leaves just now, and there was nothing abnormal.

At this time, Bai Mao stepped onto the gentle slope of the rock.

Boom, boom, boom...

There was a muffled feedback sound from the exoskeleton armor stepping on the stone surface.

Boom, boom, boom, boom...

At this time, a subtle difference caught Mu Fan's attention.

"and many more!"

Mu Fan suddenly waved his hand to signal Yin Shuai to stop.

"What's wrong?"

"Go back a few more steps."

For some reason, Baimao retreated a few steps. Instead of going straight up, he went up obliquely from the corner of the gentle slope.

Boom, boom!

There were two more echoes of the same sound.

"stop!"

Mu Fan ignored Bai Mao's questioning expression and walked over quickly.

Yin Shuai was stepping on a relatively wide shale. Due to the exoskeleton armor, his steps were relatively large, and he covered a distance of more than three meters in two steps.

When Mu Fan approached, he realized that the piece of shale had been extending down into the red grass.

Tap the toes lightly.

There was a thud, and it was pressed down again, and there was still a thump with an echo.

It's empty under the rock!

Mu Fan was finally convinced of this, and when he met Bai Mao's eyes, it was obvious that Yin Shuai had also discovered the problem.

The two walked down the direction of the shale until they reached the red grass.

At this time, Bai Mao walked in a hurry, but walked in first, and half of his body fell directly. .

"Holy shit, this handsome guy is scared to death, come and have a look."

Bai Mao exclaimed and greeted Mu Fan.

When Mu Fan took a closer look, the shale stretched obliquely and stopped one meter from the ground.

There is a huge gap about four meters wide and one meter high in the ground and shale.

It's just covered by the dense red grass.

Mu Fan leaned his head enough to look inside, and the inner side of the stone wall was covered with dense reddish-brown creep! !

Without speaking, Mu Fan motioned Bai Mao to take a look.

But Yin Shuai only took one look, and Mu Fan could see goose bumps on his neck instantly.

Turning back stiffly, Bai Mao stared at Mu Fan and said, "Can I say I'm scared?"

Mu Fan shook his head: "No, follow me closely."

After speaking, he leaned over and got in.

"Oh."

Bai Mao closed his eyes, and obediently followed into the huge gap.

The two disappeared into the red grass.
