Elf Dark Insect Master

Chapter 479 Weird painted face

All of a sudden, he seemed to be pulled out of chaos, or woken up from a nightmare in the middle of the night.

Wutong's heart beat wildly, her eyes widened suddenly, and she suddenly woke up.

"Wutong! Are you okay? Why did you hit the tree?"

"I-I'm fine."

Wutong shook his head vigorously, and then he saw clearly that the person holding him in front of him was Renzhi. At some point, he bumped into a tree, and there was a faint mask mark on the tree.

There was an accident here. Shirou in front also came over and looked at the masked boy. His eyes were as sharp as pinpricks, but he didn't see any surprise from the boy. He thought for a moment and muttered: "Be careful, we You should be lost now, and it will be very troublesome if you get injured."

"I know. I'm really sorry for making everyone worry."

Wutong apologized very well, which made everyone who was already more uneasy feel better, and then gradually dispersed.

The team regained its oppressive tranquility, and there was still silence all around. Everyone continued to quietly follow Shirou's lead, trying to find the road signs carved by the rangers previously.

This time Wutong no longer walked at the end, Aze was moved to the back, and he walked with Renzhi.

Wutong had no objection to this arrangement. In fact, his mind was not here at all.

At this moment, he was already very surprised in his heart, not as calm as he appeared at all.

At the last moment when he woke up, he saw something that could be called a spooky scene. It was as if the red bud quietly opened a gap. The gap was only a finger wide. At a glance, he seemed to have seen the bud open. In the gap, there is a pale face!

Wutong didn't know if it was a human face, but he was sure that face had eyes and a nose. But when he tried to remember it, an intuition in his heart told him not to do this!

He chose to trust his instincts and at the same time checked another thing that surprised him.

Mental strength!

In other words, extraordinary power, the power of the soul, no matter what they are called, Wutong believes that they are all of the same nature, a special power born from the soul.

Just the memory that seemed to be trapped in a dream just now, unknowingly, all his mind was taken away, as if his entire consciousness was sucked into the memory, or to be more precise, was sucked in In the memory fragment with the red flower bud, the consciousness was directly disconnected from the outer space, and that's why he suddenly lost his direction and hit the big tree for some reason.

However, according to Renzhi's soft apology, he just wanted to look back and say something to himself, only to find that the masked boy at the end had turned his head unknowingly, as if he was about to leave the team, so he stretched out his hand, and the result was unknown. Why, Wutong suddenly sped up two steps and hit a very nearby tree.

Thinking of this, Wutong sensed that his mental power had reached its bottom without knowing when, and ten percent of it was consumed from the full state at once!

However, there is also an advantage, that is, he can clearly feel that the upper limit of his extraordinary power has been increased by a full amount, and his head is only the hangover pain caused by the normal consumption of mental energy, instead of the stinging pain of rapid growth before.

The upper limit of mental power was increased by about one-tenth, but the effect of the potion was finally exhausted under Wutong's induction.

Wutong guessed that it might be the weird memory just now, which not only consumed most of his mental energy, but also lost a small part of the potion's effectiveness, which was equivalent to a rapid ripening of himself.

But now he didn't dare to think about that scene again. Now that there was no remaining potion, he vaguely felt that Renzhi might not be able to see him when he turned around just now.

Wutong began to analyze this situation in his mind. What is certain is that there must be a supernatural force secretly causing trouble, causing them to lose their environment and direction.

The problem is that this extraordinary power is extremely powerful. Just thinking about it just now almost drained his mental power. At this energy level, there is no doubt that he will only be crushed and unable to compete in this field. .

But Wutong thought that it was difficult to tell Shirou and the others about this kind of thing, because he was not willing to expose the fact that he had super powers.

Besides, even if he said it, it wouldn't help much, because although he has superpowers, if this superpower doesn't help break the situation now, then what's the use of exposing it?

If this situation were on Earth, it would obviously have caused some people to have a psychological breakdown and shout that they were beating the wall.

In this world, both ghost elves and super elves have the ability to do this. It is impossible for a senior ranger with Shirou's level and knowledge to not think of this.

I just don't know why, but every time Wutong thinks about the face in the red bud, she has a vague feeling in her heart that it may not be a simple ghost or elf playing a prank.

Suppressing this thought, he decided to wait and see.

……

Dusk, outpost camp.

"what?!"

"Have you sent anyone to look for it?"

As soon as Yutian Village Riyu and Lu Qiao returned to the camp, they heard that Cang Ying, who was in charge of camp defense, brought them some very bad news.

The work arrangements for the development were decided yesterday. After the internal meeting at the Tamada Village camp yesterday, they continued to discuss their respective responsibilities and cooperation matters with the Miura family in the afternoon.

The people who established the outpost camp here before have discovered the location of the precious mineral points previously discovered on this island, and their task is to open a safe road from the mine point to the seaside, and then establish a safe road near the mine point. Then, a large number of miners will be transported later, and the profit stage after the continuous investment of resources will begin. The mineral points will be continuously mined and initially processed and sent to the seaside, and then transported back to the Kanto area by sea to reap huge profits.

Therefore, the main task in the early stage is to open up a safe road, open a spacious road between the outpost camp and the mine site to ensure that it is not disturbed by wild elves, and then establish the prototype of a formal base at the entrance of the mine site. The following things do not belong to the initial planning. .

In order to open up a safe road, they followed the path explored by previous spies. The main group continued to cut down the woods and clean up the surrounding wild elves' nests and settlements. Then some forest rangers were responsible for continuously exploring the depths on both sides of the planned road route. This part of the work is long-term and the ultimate goal is to map the entire island.

At present, this island is named Huiliu Island. The shape of the island is strange, like a deformed U-shaped letter with a thick bottom. If the entire island does not include the large opening in the north, it can barely be seen as a circle, and there is a circle in the middle. It is a large lake that occupies about one-fifth of the island's area. One-sixth of the edge of the lake forms a spacious river that directly connects to the sea outside the island.

Except for the large lake that occupies one-fifth of the island, nearly three-fifths of the island is covered with forests, with a very high vegetation coverage rate. The remaining less than one-fifth of the island is made up of several buildings. It is composed of small mountains connected by small mountains, and part of the area is added to the beach.

If there were no accidents, the ranger team that Shirou brought out should be back at noon, because they didn't even carry any dry food or anything, and were all traveling in casual clothes, which meant that they didn't have any supplies for battery life.

"Didn't you receive their distress signal?" Riyu asked Cangying.

Cang Ying is currently in charge of the defense of the outpost camp, while Riyu and Lu Qiao spent the whole day leading the workers who protected the road development to cut down trees and repel the wild elves who came to obstruct them.

"No, the signal fireworks we provide are all high-level and can be clearly seen within ten kilometers during the day. The sentries also take turns monitoring around the clock, but no distress signal has been received."

Cangying's voice was calm, and her face was full of calmness and reliability. Riyu and Lu Qiao looked at each other, neither doubting him, but it was precisely this that made things seem troublesome.

However, before they could discuss further, one of Cang Ying's guard had already trotted over.

"I am reporting to you three adults that someone from the Miura family is here, and it is Miura Kukai who is leading the team."
