The little cousin of the group is actually a genius in cultivating immortals

On both sides of the canyon, the cliffs are straight and steep, as if they were chopped by gods with giant axes, reaching into the sky.

"It should be a ground cricket."

Zhao Wenting looked around and speculated.

With the help of the ape elder, the five people came to a new area in the crack abyss.

**

The rock walls of the canyon are as sharp as if chopped by a giant axe, with sharp edges and rough lines. The colors change with the sunlight, from orange in the early morning to red in the evening, and then to deep purple at night, silently interpreting the magnificence of nature.

The group searched around the landing site for a day and found no suspicious signs of life except for some drought-resistant shrubs and common wild animals.

“Is this an antelope?”

Liang Chuxin looked at the animal carcass that Yan Mu carried back and asked in surprise.

"Yes, we have been searching the area for a whole day, so we need to eat something to replenish our energy. Besides, Mo Mo's injuries haven't healed yet, so she needs some nutrition to replenish herself. She can't always eat things like compressed biscuits that have no nutrition."

When Mo Mo heard Yan Mu's words, he smiled at him with his pale and bloodless face.

"Where did you catch it? I'll go hunting some other day." Liang Chuxin felt that what Yan Mu said made sense, and thought that she could also go hunting tomorrow.

"It's just behind that small hill." Yan Mu pointed in the direction they were coming back.

However, the next second, he seemed to see something and froze in place.

Liang Chuxin, Zhao Wenting and the others also followed his gaze and looked over.

I actually saw two strange and huge black shadows moving behind the hill.

Yan Mu immediately threw the antelope carcass on his shoulder aside, and then said to Mo Mo and Liang Chuxin: "You two stay here, I'll go over and see what's going on. If possible, you can try to roast the meat."

"I'll go with you." Zhao Wenting also planned to go.

"I am coming too!"

Another supernatural police officer also planned to follow.

"Okay, stay safe."

Mo Mo and Liang Chuxin nodded in agreement. Mo Mo knew that she was not fit to go out and cause trouble in her current physical condition, and Liang Chuxin also understood that someone needed to stay to take care of and protect her.

"It is very likely a mutated wild animal."

Zhao Wenting saw that the surroundings were dry, and the river seemed to be a rare treasure here. When they searched today, they saw a dry riverbed, which recorded the flow of the river in the past. The more difficult the environment, the more ferocious the beasts that survived would be.

"Everyone, be careful, observe the situation first, and don't take action unless it's absolutely necessary."

Thinking of this, Zhao Wenting reminded again in a low voice.

"Crash-!"

A giant thread-foot ant crashed into a small hill opposite, and a large piece of the seemingly extremely hard rock wall was knocked off and fell to the ground.

Yan Mu looked again and saw a huge dragonfly about three or four meters away.

It was the first time that Yan Mu had seen such a large insect, and the sight of the giant dragonfly being magnified so large actually made him feel a little nauseous.

The foot ant climbed up from where it fell and bit the dragonfly's leg.

"Crack——!"

There was a crisp sound, and Yan Mu was stunned!

"Wow! So fierce! Isn't this a foot ant? I remember this thing eats plants, how come it has become a carnivore here?"

"In this harsh environment, there are not many plants for them to eat." Zhao Wenting looked fixedly at a cactus beside him and said lightly.

Yan Mu turned around and looked around, then nodded in understanding.

"It looks like they're just two giant insects fighting. It's getting dark, and we need to conserve our strength to take turns standing guard at night. It's better not to meddle in other people's business." After saying that, Zhao Wenting prepared to get up and leave.

"Wait, what do you see tied to the dragonfly's tail? Does it look like the 'message bag' used by our Supernatural Bureau?"

Zhao Wenting turned around again and looked carefully.

"Really!" Yan Mu also recognized him. He thought for a moment and then said, "Could it be Pei Ming?"

The message bag is a net bag woven with a figure-eight knot to hold tokens. It is one of the older ways of passing messages in the Bureau of Supernatural Powers.

Unexpectedly, the dragonfly, which looks even bigger than the foot-foot ant, cannot defeat it. At this moment, it is picked up in the mouth of the persistent foot-foot ant and held in the air.

"boom--!"

The giant dragonfly was thrown to the ground by the foot ant, and its wings that were shining in the sunlight were broken. The broken half was pressed underneath the dragonfly's limbs.

"Wow! This guy lives up to the name with the word 'ant' in it! He is as strong as an ox!" Even Yan Mu, who was watching the fight at the side, was impressed by the strength of this foot ant.

"If this goes on, will this giant dragonfly die?" The supernatural police officer next to him looked worried.

Just as he finished speaking, the giant dragonfly flapped its broken wings and left wing and flew up from the ground. The flying sand and rocks around it received a huge whirlwind force and scattered in the air.

Suddenly the air became turbid, and the three people's noses were filled with the strange smell of dust and dirt.

"Ahem - no matter it wins or loses, we must get the token from it before we can find Pei Ming." Yan Mu shouted loudly while coughing.

"Young Master, what do you say? Should we rush up now and kill them by surprise? Or should we wait a little longer?" Yan Mu was seeking Zhao Wenting's opinion.

"'While the snipe and the clam quarrel, the fisherman benefits'. Let's wait and see. Whether the dragonfly is dead or alive, the size of the ant makes it impossible for it to be eaten in one go." Zhao Wenting said slowly, "And as I said before, we have to take turns to keep watch tonight. It is also very important to conserve our energy and spirit."

Yan Mu looked at him without saying anything, feeling somewhat puzzled: Why did he care so much about keeping watch? It was just keeping watch all night, how much energy would it take? It wasn't a physical job.

Zhao Wenting seemed to sense Yan Mu's gaze and continued, "Five of the soldiers who entered the sea of ​​sand with me were attacked and killed at night. In addition, the climate here is dry and hot, and it is estimated that there will be more wild animals coming out to look for food at night than during the day."

After listening to Zhao Wenting's explanation, Yan Mu felt even more deeply:

[As expected of the Second Young Master Zhao, he is thoughtful and considerate. 】

All of a sudden, he felt ashamed of his carelessness just now.

As for the thread-foot ant and the dragonfly, the two were still wrestling with each other, determined to fight to the death.

Originally it was just a dry river channel left over from a long time ago, but it was accidentally widened a lot by them, and the ground was also stained with blood.

"Bang bang bang-!"

This foot-legged ant seemed to have taken some stimulant. It lifted the dragonfly's body high up and threw it to the ground left and right, not giving the dragonfly a chance to breathe.

Finally, there was a dull "bang" and the dragonfly fell to the ground motionless, as if it had died.

The foot-thread ant walked forward and took a deep bite on the animal's abdomen. Seeing that the animal was still motionless, it was sure that it was dead.

"Okay, it's almost time for us to go on stage." Zhao Wenting gave an order, and the three people held the ropes in their hands and went around the two sides of the foot thread ants.

What is about to begin is the battle between them and the foot ants.
