infinite blood core

Chapter 85 The Mysterious Gang
The chirping birdsong echoed in the early morning forest.

As Zhen Jin and others approached, a group of birds flapped their wings and flew out of the branches in a panic.

Perhaps because it is close to the desert, there is no morning fog here, the sun shines in the green forest, and the air is full of fresh smells.

Needle gold is still leading the way.

Although nothing could be seen from the outside, Zhen Jin's caudal vertebra at the moment, along with his buttocks, was still a little numb and sore.

He was in good health, and the wounds he had suffered in the desert had healed long before he entered the forest.

As an ordinary person, Bai Ya's fractured injuries have only recovered slightly, and so far, he has not been able to draw a bow.

"Yesterday's training volume seems to be a bit large." Zhen Jin pondered in his heart.

He knew that this numbness and pain was caused by training the lizards to flick their tails last night.

After Zhenjin returned to human form, although he lost his tail, the wounds he received while in lizard form would still be left on his body in a similar form.

Just like he was injured when he was in human form, he would not heal his injuries instantly because he changed into other life forms.

"I can't be hurt by hitting trees and rocks with my tail. After all, what I transformed into is a black iron lizard."

"Looks like I have a problem with the way the lizard's tail works."

"I hurt myself while practicing tail flicks."

"If it weren't for my strong recovery ability, I'm afraid my walking posture would be deformed now."

Needle Jin sighed.

After entering the forest, it is not convenient for him to practice late at night.

In the desert before, the expedition team arranged a vigil alone.

Now that the two of them are vigilant at the same time, Zhenjin can't leave the vicinity of the camp for too long.If it is too long, it will make other companions worry, and then look for it, causing more trouble.

Needle gold can transform into a gun scorpion, and can also become a complete fat ball flying fish.But last night, he only had time to train the green lizard form, and the other two forms did not have the time to exercise at all.

"I'm basically familiar with the spear scorpion form."

"As for the Fat Ball Flying Fish..." Needle Jin had secretly changed in the desert and found that this form was not practical.

Fat Ball Flying Fish's strongest attack method is to shoot jet-black, highly poisonous fishbone.

But the premise of this attack method is that Fat Ball Flying Fish blew up.

This is the way to die together.

Sometimes, Fat Ball Feiyu died so suddenly that it was too late to explode.

Needling gold to use this method is undoubtedly a fancy suicide.

In addition, Fat Ball Flying Fish can be invisible.

But after the needle gold mutation, it was found that although the human eye cannot observe this kind of stealth, when the fat ball flying fish floats forward, it will open its mouth and make a quack sound.If Zhen Jin kept his mouth shut and didn't make a quack sound, he wouldn't be able to exchange air with the outside world, and he wouldn't be able to float in the air quickly.

To a large extent, the sound of quack has reduced the use value of stealth.

So after knowing this, Zhen Jin was not very happy to train his fat ball flying fish form.

He thought about it and felt that the most practical one should be the green lizard form.

The green lizard's eyes brought him a huge help.

The green lizard's acid spray can be said to be the strongest long-range attack method currently mastered by needle gold.Acid is much more powerful than wooden darts and has a similar range.Needle gold is particularly good at precision, and the combination of the two is very powerful.

And the green lizard form is only black iron level, which is actually an advantage.

The silver-level spear scorpion form will severely consume the magic energy in the core.In comparison, the Black Iron Green Lizard consumes much less mana.This allows Zhenjin more time to fight and practice this form.

As a conventional means of combat, the Black Iron Green Lizard and the Silver Spear Scorpion are the only cards that can be used when encountering a strong enemy.

This is needle gold's plan.

He didn't think so at first.

After being able to truly control the core, his feelings towards the core are more fearful, defensive, and vigilant than curiosity, exploration, and amazement.

He was not planning to use the magic core in his heart frequently, but after being chased by Fat Ball Flying Fish in the oasis, Zhen Jin's thoughts changed.

"If I don't have green lizard eyes, I can't spot the fat ball flying fish."

"I myself have more bad luck than good luck, and Zidi and Cang Xu will basically not survive!"

"On this island, anything can happen, and danger is likely to come in the next moment."

"I clearly have a core that can absorb blood and have a certain ability to deal with this kind of danger. But because of caution, I didn't prepare in advance. When the crisis comes, I can only wait for death. If this is the result, then I am too Was it too pedantic?"

With these thoughts in mind, Zhen Jin, for himself and for Zidi and others, gritted his teeth and decided to use his core to prepare as much as possible.

Be prepared for a rainy day.

The complete form of the Fat Ball Flying Fish is the result of this kind of thinking—while in the oasis, Zhen Jin carried other people behind his back and secretly killed many Fat Ball Flying Fish, and only then did he collect the complete bloodline. Can become a black iron-level monster flying fish.

"Huh? Wait a moment." Zhen Jin, who was traveling, suddenly caught a glimpse of an abnormality and stopped immediately.

Everyone immediately became nervous.

Since entering the forest this time, Zhen Jin has never taken the initiative to stop.Could it be that you sensed a huge threat lurking around here?

Zhen Jin walked slowly to the left front, and after a dozen steps, he stopped under a tree.

He reached out and stroked the bark, which was missing a small piece, as if it had been caused by a sharp weapon.

Zhu Jin looked around, and soon found more tiny traces.

Then, his eyes paused, as if he had discovered something.

He went deep into the dense grass, bent over and picked up a piece of silver-white armor.

When the others came over, Cang Xu saw the piece of armor in Zhenjin's hand and said in amazement, "This is part of the armor. The material is of high quality, and it's made of high-quality steel."

Zhen Jin nodded slightly and continued to search around.

Various shades of footprints, residual bloodstains, broken wood dumped everywhere, the bare land after the turf was completely shoveled... More and more traces were discovered by him, but Zhujin couldn't simulate the battle scene.

"There must have been a fierce battle here."

"The surviving party deliberately cleaned the battlefield, so I can't have more judgment."

Zi Di's beautiful eyes blinked: "So, there is someone nearby?"

Bai Ya asked, "What is it that is fighting with them?"

Zhen Jin frowned, and his tone was not very sure: "It seems to be a giant beast, bigger than a hoofed horse, and very heavy. The main attack method seems to be headbutting."

"It should be the crowd that won. Warcraft won't deliberately clean the battlefield."

It is relatively reluctant to make a judgment with needle gold.

"Are you sure it's a human?" Zidi asked.

Zhen Jin shook his head: "I can only judge that it is a humanoid form, but since they can clean the battlefield and are so good, it shows that they must have advanced wisdom. After the fierce battle, there is still room to clean up the traces, which shows the strength of their group. Not bad."

Cang Xu squatted on the ground and touched the footprints with his fingers: "This battle happened a few days ago. What I'm more concerned about is, why did they clean up the battlefield and clean up the traces?"

This question 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, it is to clean up bloodstains to prevent the smell of blood from attracting other predators.

But the gang not only cleans the battlefield, they do it very meticulously.

This is not common sense.

Using this kind of strength to clean up the battlefield is not worth the loss.Because people will waste a lot of time and physical energy, in the process of surviving on an island, every resource and every bit of physical energy needs to be saved.

Even if these traces are left, predators in the forest are of inferior intelligence and do not benefit from battlefield traces.

But the gang did just that.

What do they need to guard against?
Who are they?The crew of the Pigsnout, or...the people on this island?

Zhen Jin looked into the distance, his eyes a little lost because of thinking.

The unexpected happened.

Now, there are two options before him.

The first choice was to follow their original plan and rush to the place where Cangsu and the others entered the forest before.This way, they can validate and populate the map.

The second option is to give up this plan and follow these traces to approach this mysterious group that suddenly appeared.

There are many risks here.

The combat power of the mysterious gang is unknown, but it should not be low.The number is unknown, the race is unknown, and the intent is unknown.

Everyone was silent, some continued to observe the traces, and some were vigilant around them.

They are all waiting for Jin Jin's decision.

Without spending too much time thinking, Zhen Jin quickly made a decision: "Abandon the previous plan, we will follow these traces. Pay attention to safety."

"Understood." Bai Ya replied.

"Yes, Master." Lan Zao said concisely.

Cang Xu and Zidi nodded, and no one raised any objections.

As a result, the five-person exploration team changed direction, no longer walking 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.

Zhenjin looked at the gurgling river and couldn't help sighing.

Here, the clues are broken.

He originally followed the trail, but the group was cleaning up the trail along the way.

They are experienced and sophisticated, and after a few days, Zhen Jin tried his best to barely recognize their previous route.

But when they got to the river, the traces left by the mysterious gang disappeared completely because of the current.

"The flow of the river is very slow and the bed is so low that it only reaches the knees of adults. They step into the river here, but they don't go directly to the opposite bank. There's no telling if they're going down the river, or upstream, somewhere. Log in."

"However, this also means that the river is not very dangerous."

Needle Jin squinted his eyes, mutated lizard eyes, and found that there was almost no life in the river, at most some small fish and shrimp.

"Let's move on." Zhen Jin thought for a while, and led the team across the river to the other side.

There were no traces to trace, and Zhenjin walked in the direction Cang Xu estimated, and the destination was the beach where the Pigsnout ran aground.

After about a quarter of an hour, Zhen Jin was the first to hear a loud and harsh sound.

As the distance shortened, a group of five found a camp in the forest.

The camp is surrounded by a row of wooden stakes. The camp is not large, but there is a wooden house hall in the center.There are also two arrow towers in the camp, one has been built and the other has just taken shape.

A herd of beasts is raging in the camp, and the people in the camp have all shrunk into the central wooden house hall, and the situation is very bad.
