Remember [New] in a second! In the endless forest, a man-made road appeared. An off-road vehicle drove quickly on the road, and soon reached the end of the road.

The road ahead was no longer suitable for the car to continue driving forward, so the people in the car got off immediately and prepared to move forward on foot.

After the car door was opened, two men and two women got out of the car. These people were Ji Xiaoxiao, Wang Chao, Sun Bin, and Cheng Ling.

Originally, they were following a construction team to protect the construction team's personnel to build roads normally.

But not long ago, they, the team protecting the construction team, received an order from their superiors to stop protecting the construction team for the next few days.

As for the reason, I also made it clear. Not long ago, our side launched a surprise attack on the pig-headed army outside the forest, and they were scattered and fled.

This operation has reaped very rich results, effectively combating the harassment of the pig-headed side.

However, in order to prevent them from retaliating wildly against us in the next few days, the relevant leaders held a meeting to discuss, and decided that the construction teams of each road construction should stop for a few days to see the next situation. Take action again.

The investigator team protecting each road construction team took advantage of the fact that the construction team did not have time to continue construction these days, and went to investigate the surrounding areas.

"I didn't expect that our side would launch a surprise attack on the pig-headed army outside the forest and reap great results." Wang Chao said with a smile.

"This surprise attack wiped out at least 500 pig-headed men, and the others fled in all directions. There should not be many people who can be gathered in the end." Sun Bin echoed.

"It's a pity that I couldn't participate in this operation, otherwise, I would have killed a few pig-headed men." Cheng Ling said.

"You medical soldier, you should wait a little longer! Leave the battle to us." Wang Chao glanced at Zhang Chengling, who was full of fighting spirit, and said.

"What's the matter with the medical soldiers? It's not that the medical soldiers can't fight." Cheng Ling retorted.

"Medical soldiers can fight, but compared to fighting, your role in treating the wounded is more effective." Wang Chao said.

"That being said, I will not give up participating in the war." Cheng Ling insisted.

"You..." Wang Chao wanted to say something more, but at this moment, Ji Xiaoxiao said, "Okay, don't say any more, don't start arguing again.

Don't talk about the pig-headed man anymore, let's hurry up and finish the task assigned by the superior today. "

Afterwards, Ji Xiaoxiao and his group left the flat road and stepped onto the rugged mountain road ahead.

The road has been repaired to this section, and it will continue to be repaired in the future. As for the situation of the road ahead, it is necessary to survey in advance, so as to provide convenience for the construction team to repair the road next.

A group of people moved forward all the way, collecting information about this place where no one had been.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was noon, and the sun in the sky hung high above the heads of the group of people.

In front of it is a lake with an area of ​​hundreds of acres. Occasional winds will cause ripples on the surface of the lake.

"The scenery here is not bad!" Cheng Ling said with a smile when he saw the lake view in front of him, his tired expression from walking all the way relieved a lot.

"If the road is built in this direction, it needs to be built around this lake." Sun Bin said.

"It's natural. It's impossible to build a bridge to repair it. After all, this is not Blue Star." Wang Chao said.

Ji Xiaoxiao inspected the surroundings, but did not perceive any creatures with psychic fluctuations hidden in the dark, and then she said to her companions.

"We've been busy all morning, find a place to eat, and then continue to investigate ahead..."

The three of Wang Chao nodded, and after discussing it, they found an open place not far from the lake as a resting place for lunch.

There are stretches of grass growing beside the lake, and the growth is very vigorous. You can lie down directly, so a group of four people sat on the ground, and then took out food from their backpacks.

All they eat are convenient fast foods. Although they can light a fire to cook, but this time they are mainly out for surveys, and they need to hurry up, so they just eat these things directly.

While Ji Xiaoxiao and his group were eating lunch comfortably, a creature at the bottom of the lake slowly opened its eyes, and then looked towards the shore of the lake.

Ji Xiaoxiao and his group were eating and chatting while eating. When they had almost finished their lunch, Ji Xiaoxiao frowned and looked into the lake not far away.

Noticing the change of expression on Ji Xiaoxiao's face, the three of Wang Chao also looked into the lake, and then Wang Chao also frowned.

Due to limited strength, Sun Bin and Cheng Ling didn't notice anything unusual.

"Something is coming." Ji Xiaoxiao said.

"Before, I was also surprised that there were no wild animals in such a beautiful place. It was too unreasonable. It turned out that the strange beasts were hiding in the lake!" Wang Chao said.

Sun Bin and Cheng Ling, who hadn't sensed the creatures in the lake, heard what their two companions said, and they didn't need to sense anymore. They immediately packed up the unfinished food, stuffed it all into their bags, and took it out. Weapons aside.

When Ji Xiaoxiao and the others were ready to fight, dense ripples rippled on the calm lake, and then a huge splash was set off.

Immediately afterwards, a strange beast that looked like a buffalo emerged from the water.

This strange beast is more than three meters long, and looks exactly like the buffalo on the blue star, but it has fish gills on both sides of its head.

"Roar." The buffalo beast with fish gills roared at Ji Xiaoxiao and the others.

"At the beginning of the third stage, there are such strange beasts in this place?" Sun Bin said.

The reason why he said this is because according to the data collected by the previous investigation team, the strongest beast in this area is only at the peak of the second stage, and now a strange beast at the beginning of the third stage suddenly appears, which does not match the data they collected .

"The spiritual energy fluctuations on his body are not particularly strong in the early stage of the third stage. It should not be long after breaking through to the early stage of the third stage." Wang Chao sensed the spiritual energy emanating from the buffalo beast with fish gills Volatility, said.

Sun Bin nodded, according to what Wang Chao said, it was reasonable.

"This guy has never come ashore, and it's not easy for us to go down into the water to deal with it. We have to find a way to lure him to the shore so that we can kill it." Cheng Ling looked at the buffalo with gills that kept roaring. The alien said.

As for this early-stage third-stage alien living in the lake, from the moment he appeared, Ji Xiaoxiao and the others decided to kill it.

Because in the future, the construction team will build roads in this direction, and the road will bypass this lake at that time.

And there is a strange beast at the beginning of the third stage living in the lake, which will pose a big threat to the construction team.

Even if it didn't harass the construction team during the road construction, if there were vehicles coming and going after the road was repaired, it would be a very big trouble if he jumped out and attacked the passing vehicles.

For the sake of unnecessary troubles in the future, it is doomed that this strange beast at the beginning of the third stage must be eliminated.

"call out"

Ji Xiaoxiao raised her right hand and slapped the buffalo beast with fish gills in the water, and then a whirlwind that was not very lethal shot out of her hand and hit the opponent directly.

"boom."

The roaring buffalo beast with fish gills couldn't dodge in time, and was directly hit by Ji Xiaoxiao's ability.

Because this attack was not very powerful, it was just dizzy from the beating, but this attack also aroused the anger of the strange beast.

As Cheng Ling said just now, the alien beast is not easy to deal with in the lake, and it needs to be lured to the shore. Therefore, after the buffalo alien beast with fish gills attacked by Ji Xiaoxiao was aroused, it immediately turned towards the group on the shore. The four rushed over.

The water splashed, and the buffalo beast with gills that came ashore from the lake immediately attacked Cheng Ling, who was the weakest.

Picking the persimmon softly is the most normal choice for a strange beast.

However, if the buffalo beast with fish gills chose to attack Cheng Ling, it would naturally be impossible to succeed.

Because the other three were not paper tigers, how could they watch Cheng Ling being attacked by a buffalo monster with fish gills.

Sun Bin took the lead and stood in front of Cheng Ling, with a pale golden aura appearing on his body. After using the power, his strength increased many times. the two horns of the beast.

Relying on his own brute force, he insisted on slowing down the pace of the opponent's impact.

However, the buffalo beast with fish gills is a beast at the beginning of the third stage after all. With Sun Bin's strength at the peak of the second stage, hindering its attack momentum is already the limit of what he can do.

Sun Bin also knew about this, so he immediately let go of his hand and retreated quickly.

After Sun Bin pushed away, Wang Chao immediately followed up to fill his position, and attacked the buffalo beast with gills that was about to charge again.

The spiritual weapon long sword with pale golden aura appeared, and slashed towards the buffalo beast with fish gills. Facing the enemy's fierce attack, the buffalo beast with fish gills immediately turned its head and used its sharp horns to strike withstand.

"Clang..."

The sound of metal colliding came from the place where the spiritual weapon long sword touched the horn. Wang Chao looked at the horn of the buffalo with fish gills in surprise.

It was a little rare that the long sword, a spiritual weapon infused with spiritual energy, slashed on the horn without causing even a trace of wound.

"The two horns of this strange beast should be good spiritual materials..."

After Sun Bin fought a move with the buffalo beast with fish gills, he took a few steps back, turned his head and said to his companion.

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall figure quickly passed by him.

"Our task today is to survey this area, collect relevant information, and prepare for the next road construction by the construction team. We need to make a quick decision..." Ji Xiaoxiao rushed towards the buffalo beast with fish gills, and said to Wang Chao Said.

Wang Chao also knew that he was on a mission and it was not good to waste time with the buffalo beast with fish gills, so he followed immediately.

Ji Xiaoxiao, who was already stronger than the buffalo beast with fish gills, and Wang Chao, under the onslaught of two third-tier practitioners, the fierce buffalo beast with fish gills was immediately defeated, and then was defeated by Ji Xiaoxiao. The sword cut off the head.

"boom."

The buffalo beast with fish gills separated from its body and head crashed to the ground, blood gushed out, and soon formed a pool of blood, and dyed the surrounding grass red.

And due to the terrain, the blood from the buffalo beast with gills also fell into the lake, and soon, a small piece of water on the shore of the lake was also stained red like the grass on the shore.

Ji Xiaoxiao and his party on the shore planned to cut off the two horns of the buffalo with gills, dig a hole to bury them, and take them back when they came back.

I did not choose to carry it with me because it is not convenient to carry these two horns on my body.

Their main task is to survey this area, and it will take a lot of time to carry things that are inconvenient to move.

A pit was dug on the shore of the lake, two blood-stained horns were placed in the pit and buried with soil.

After doing this, Sun Bin patted the dirt on his hands, and then went to the shore of the lake to wash his hands.

Suddenly, there was a dense sound on the lake in the distance.

"Gulu, Gulu..."

Sun Bin, who washed his hands, stood up, shook off the water stains on his hands, and looked at the place where the sound came from in the distance.

At this time, Ji Xiaoxiao and the three also noticed the movement in the lake and came to Sun Bin's side.

"A lot of psychic energy fluctuations." This time, even Cheng Ling could sense the psychic energy fluctuations in the lake, so the strength of these creatures in the lake would not be too strong.

"That's a lot!" Sun Bin said.

"There are about thirty of them." Ji Xiaoxiao sensed the number of creatures in the lake and said.

"The strength is not strong, it is easy to solve." Wang Chao said.

While the four of Ji Xiaoxiao were talking, one after another buffalo beasts with fish gills, the strongest and only in the early stage of the second stage, surfaced from the water.

The buffalo beast with fish gills, which Ji Xiaoxiao and the others killed earlier, was the boss of these beasts that came out.

The blood of the buffalo beast with fish gills, which was at the beginning of the third stage, flowed into the lake. The **** smell made these beasts unable to sit still, and then all of them came out of the water.

"Roar…"

Angry roars came from the mouths of these strange beasts one after another~lightnovelpub.net~ Facing these strange beasts that were generally not strong, Ji Xiaoxiao and the others were very calm.

Just when they thought that these strange beasts were going to rush over to avenge their boss, they turned around and ran away when they saw these strange beasts.

"Wow, wow..."

These strange beasts that lived in the water swam very fast, and they swam to the opposite bank in one fell swoop, then climbed up the bank, fled to the distance for a while, and disappeared into the forest.

"These strange beasts are self-aware!" Wang Chao said.

Sun Bin and Cheng Ling nodded, and they were not surprised that these strange beasts escaped.

After all, the bosses who had the strength at the beginning of the third stage were all killed, and their own strength was not strong. If they rushed forward to seek revenge from the enemy, they would undoubtedly die in vain, so the best choice was naturally to turn around and run away.

"Okay, the matter is settled, let's leave here and continue to investigate ahead!" Ji Xiaoxiao said.

Afterwards, a group of four people who had gone through this episode left the shore of the lake and continued their mission.
