While Catherine slowly pulled out the sword from behind the jungle spider, Panis had swung the branches again and began to move forward. Time had reached the afternoon. Since the morning rest, Panis and Elard took the lead alternately, and their positions were exchanged twice. Now it was Panis' turn to walk at the front of the team again. Because it was on the outer edge of the flash forest, the strength of the monsters was relatively low. Apart from the passing golden-level monsters I met, they were just some black iron bronze-level monsters. They could not cause any crisis to the ten-person team, and at most they could only slightly delay the speed of their progress. In fact, they did not encounter many monsters along the way. After all, the monsters just wanted to hunt, not to die.

However, this does not mean that everyone is walking very easily. After entering Moriri for a long time, his nose is filled with the unpleasant smell of wood, and his ears are always accompanied by the monotonous and boring sound of kicking the fallen leaves. What you see in front of you is a tree trunk, and the gray-brown trunk is surrounded by the gray-brown trunk, as if there is nothing else between heaven and earth. In contrast, these are actually not difficult. The countless vines and shrubs that may trip over passers-by and countless hidden dead branches are the obstacles to the progress in the true sense, and the biggest obstacle is also the mud trap hidden under the dead leaves that can be encountered everywhere. This hidden small swamp is absolutely deadly for ordinary people. For advanced professionals, although they can use shields to bounce off the mud and break free from the constraints after falling into the swamp, the time spent and the traces left on their bodies are inevitable.

After a day, although everyone avoided most of the mud with constant reminders from the leader, three people still accidentally stepped into the trap. Among them, the Golden-level Catherine activated the Dou Qi shield and popped it out of the trap because of her physical fitness and reaction speed. She activated the Dou Qi shield at the moment of falling, and was not really affected by the trap. However, Shadow Wolf and Gopher were not so lucky. Their pants were now full of sludge. In the forest environment, the light was weak, dark and damp. The dampness on the pants and the slippery feeling brought by the sludge even through the protective leather jacket she wore, which made others feel uncomfortable, not to mention the stench of the sludge that kept coming from them, for fear of being stained with such a smell.

"Pennis, why do you have to walk twenty-two hours today?" With other victims as examples, Lina followed Pannis with extreme caution, almost walking in Pannis' footprints: "Will this often happen in the future?"

"Occasionally." The branch in Panis's hand accurately poked a red snake that had just emerged from the fallen leaves layer like a harpoon, and replied casually: "There may be at least three to four more times."

"Why?" Lina asked curiously: "It's very energy-consuming."

Penis smiled mysteriously: "You will know why after a while."

"It's mysterious, so annoying." Lina's curiosity is always very strong.

"Stop." Panis suddenly raised the branch as a cane: "There's a problem."

The line of straight lines immediately changed, and the distance between them quickly contracted. The mercenaries besieged the city and protected the guide in the center. The three girls of the adventure group formed an outward-facing triangle back to back. Catherine, who was facing Pannis, asked, "What did you find?"

"The traces of battle." Pannis walked more than ten steps with a serious expression, squatting under a big tree, pointing to the trunk and said, "Look, the burning traces, from the range, are not like natural burning flames, they should be traces left by fire-attribute magic or skills. Well, it's interesting, there are leaves cut in half on the ground. The traces have not been left for long, it seems that we have fellow travelers."

"Can it be the traces left by the monster?" The gopher talking was originally a lone profession near the Mountain Country. Most of the familiar environment was related to caves. After joining the mercenary group, he had only come into contact with the forest recently, so he was not very familiar with the forest. He heard Panis's words and couldn't help but interrupt. But after he finished speaking, he found that the other nine people were looking at him with a look of foolish eyes. He scratched his head and asked stammeringly: "What, did I say something wrong?"

The four people in the adventure group were embarrassed to say something, but Ye Xiao, who was also a mercenary companion, couldn't help but ask in a hoarse and ugly voice: "Have you ever seen a fire-attributed monster on the forest border in the past two months?"

"Huh?" The gopher recalled carefully for a while, shook his head and said, "I have never seen it before. Is there no fire-attributed monster in the forest?"

"Of course not." Shadow Wolf, who was also covered in mud, took the opportunity to stop and grabbed the fallen leaves and wiped his pants, saying, "I played with fire in the forest and even had a hundred lives burned to death."

"Ah, I forgot this question." The gopher didn't mind being teased and punched him in the palm of his hand: "Sure enough, every time I go to a new place, there is still a lot of things to learn."

"Shovel." Penis bent down and stared at the ground, stretched out his hand and shouted.

The oldest and most stable middle-aged female mercenary, the fantasy fox, took out a folded shovel and handed it over, squatted aside, observing everything by himself from Panis's perspective. Obviously, she was learning and absorbing the experience of Panis' exploration. Catherine, who was also wearing chain armor, was also squatting together. Seeing the movements of the two, Panis was stunned and smiled understandingly, but she did not hide her own personal information. She pointed out several traces for the two ladies before digging.

"This is a burning trace. Look at the range, it radiates evenly to the periphery with the center here as the center. This is the characteristic of fireball technique. But it is autumn now, and the trees are not too dry yet, so it has not caused a fire. Look here again, look carefully at the color of these leaves, and there is a slight difference from others. This should have been the lower layer of leaves, which was turned to the upper layer. This situation is concentrated in this small range, indicating that someone has buried something here. And there, look at the dead leaves carefully, and then look at the dead leaves under our feet, and see the broken leaves.

, that is footprints, this shape means that someone has been trampled and someone has stood there. In total, I look at four, no, five people. This is judged based on the degree and depth of the dead leaves. The effects caused by people with different weights are slight differences, and this is purely judged by experience." After pointing out all the traces one by one, Panis unfolded the folding shovel and inserted it hard to the position pointed out before. After digging for a few times, he frowned: "Be mentally prepared, I guess it's a bit visual stimulating."

"What?" Lina came over and asked, "Is the body?"

"Yes, it's a corpse." Panis nodded and said, "As for the murderer, it should be a white-backed poisonous fox. I smelled the venom they squirted."

"Vital Fox?" Lina opened the magical beast illustration in her hand, and familiarly turned to the page she was looking for, and looked at the picture on the page. The fox in the picture was gray-yellow, with a narrow linear white hair behind her back, her cheeks swollen, and her cheeks were very thin, looking crystal clear: "There are only three kinds of magical beasts that use liquid spitting as a weapon in the flash forest. We have encountered two of them in the past few days?"

"I haven't met yet." Panis corrected: "I just encountered the corpse that died of venom."

As the shovel was excavated, the rest of the people also smelled a pungent and irritating smell, and the victim gradually exposed from the fallen leaves layer, and the corpse could only be described as miserable. The white-backed poisonous fox is a small and medium-sized monster with a group of people, often twenty to thirty, and the body is only the size of a domestic dog. Unlike the terrifying beasts that could spray acid, the most terrifying attack weapon of the poisonous fox is venom. But in response, their venom reserves are large, and they can be sprayed dozens of times in a row, and they sprayed out.

Large amount, fast jet speed, wide coverage, and dozens of venoms are often sprayed out at the same time, which will make a small range like a deadly poisonous rain. If you cannot escape the coverage of venom in time, you can only open your shield and support it. However, because of the high corrosive toxicity and high jet frequency of venom, even if you support it, the Dou Qi reserves of the Silver-level profession cannot support the exhaustion stored by the other party. Therefore, this kind of small and medium-sized monster with the highest level of silver-level is set very high.

It was obvious that the victim did not have time to open the shield, or the shield could not support the venom that could not support the fox flock, so he was sprayed with venom on his face. The back of the head of the corpse was intact, and thick blonde hair could be seen, but the front of the head was beyond recognition, with no trace of flesh left, only a skull with green and black mucus left, and occasionally fine blood slits were seen between the mucus. Part of the skull was pale, and the other part was corroded by venom, and some flesh and blood remained on the edges of the skull, and the remaining flesh still had bubbles left when corroded. The eyes of the corpse had been corroded, and the mouth was trying its best to grow. You can imagine the painful roar before death. There were not many scars on the body, and only a small amount of venom splashed on the body, corroding several large holes in the clothes and flesh.

Panis pressed the hands and feet of the corpse, then flipped over the remains of the corpse, and said in contemplation: "I have been dead for about six hours. The casting profession should belong to the silver level. Judging from his relics, they should belong to the elemental mage, and the burning trace may be the spell he released. It seems that their team was besieged by the fox group, and he should not have time to open his shield when he was attacked and died of carelessness. The rest of the people seemed to be in a bad situation. Although they buried their teammates, they obviously did not have the same level of sloppyness. So they chose to escape after burying their teammates. As for the fox group, they should have chased them."

"Will the other party have anything to do with the thieves?" Catherine asked with a frown.

"How do I know?" Panis shrugged and pointed to the body and said, "I asked him just now, and he refused to answer me."

"Maybe it will matter." Catherine paced back and forth and said, "Let's catch up and take a look."

Penis snickered, Vivian snickered, and Lina snickered.

Dora rolled her eyes and said angrily: "Senior sister, if you want to go to rescue, just say it, and find such unconvincing reasons. Even if there are mages in the thieves, it is a rare resource. How could a silver-level mage participate in the operation of a small army? Obviously, this is just an adventure group. Besides, watching and helping each other is the first code of professionals in the theory of survival in the wild. No one will blame you for such a decision. Why make excuses?"

Katherine smiled awkwardly and asked Penis: "Where have they escaped? Can they be traced?"

"No." Panis replied straightforwardly: "They are smart enough to escape from the trees, otherwise they would not be able to escape at all. But in this way, I can't track it."

"That's it." Catherine was stunned in disappointment and thought in embarrassment.
