At the beginning, he was transformed into an infant, and his parents were yellow-haired gangsters?

Located on the northwest side of the entire mountain range, Zhang Chaoqiang, Huang Feng and his party were waiting at a fixed point.

They had just been searching along the route that Zhang Chaoqiang had followed for some time, and now they stopped at a fixed point, waiting.

During the waiting time, Huang Feng glanced at the vast white sky and muttered, "Several hours have passed. I wonder what the situation is like over there on Bailu."

At the same time, he still had plenty of spiritual power, and he kept himself aloft by relying on the spiritual power he emitted.

The body floated so steadily to a height of nearly fifty meters.

All one could see were a few black dots moving from far to near in the huge Laoshan Mountain Range, which almost completely merged into the white skyline.

These black spots, without any surprise, should be Bai Lu and another team of investigators.

In the sky, the person responsible for guiding the direction was the short fat man Bai Lu, and those running on the ground were, without a surprise, the investigators.

And not only that, the original team of eight investigators now had five more.

These five extra figures basically showed the same situation as the number of "affected people" who disappeared on Mount Lushan before.

The reason for this is that Bai Lu's operation this time was very smooth and he successfully captured them.

Soon, Bai Lu in mid-air also accurately saw Huang Feng at a low altitude of 50 meters. In an instant, he put away the compass in his hand, lowered his head and told the investigators to hurry up and catch up.

Not long after, at two o'clock in the afternoon, the two groups of people reunited again after being separated for several hours.

It was noon, and the so-called local ingredients were used. Sometimes wild game tasted good and had a wild forest feeling. Several investigators were responsible for capturing the surrounding wild animals, and then began to grill and cook them.

The aroma from the curling smoke made Liu Feng, who was still in a state of madness, follow the most primitive instinct of a living thing, which was appetite.

Not only him, but also the warriors who entered Mount Laoshan and stayed here had not eaten anything special for several days. When they smelled these aromas, they couldn't help but drool.

As a warrior, the spiritual power in their bodies can replenish their body's normal functions at all times. Therefore, it is no longer necessary to supplement some nutrients through food.

However, humans and monsters have survived for so many years, and eating is certainly not just for filling their stomachs, but also for maintaining the normal functioning of their lives.

Instead, it developed into a kind of enjoyment, a ritual, and from eating to being full, to not necessarily needing food to maintain normal body functions, it became an interest in their appetite.

Delicious food has become the first requirement. Eating is no longer a necessity but a hobby.

Therefore, the aroma filled the air, and the people were not hungry, but wanted to satisfy their cravings.

But unfortunately, there was no food for them.

The incredibly skinny pheasants and birds and beasts in those mountains, the skinny wild boars, and the bison living near the water sources all became their food sources.

During the cooking process, Huang Feng and Bai Lu, together with several investigators from separate teams, conducted a detailed interrogation of the five warriors that Bai Lu had found.

The time of entry, purpose, etc.

Use answers they know to verify that they are telling the truth.

Then use various interrogation techniques to conduct further questioning of several people.

Almost exactly the same as Liu Feng.

They were also a little confused. When they came in, they really didn't have any so-called destination. They just inexplicably came up with the idea of ​​"traveling and enjoying the scenery" in their minds.

Over the past few days, they have walked almost all over Mount Laoshan, sleeping on the ground while admiring the desolate landscape of Mount Laoshan.

There was no specific place I stayed in or any destination that I had decided I had to go to this time.

For the time being, this kind of rhetoric is exactly the same as what Liu Feng just said, and basically has no purpose at all.

"So you've been together for so long, have you ever met each other?"

Huang Feng and Bai Lu's powerful aura suppressed them directly, making the five people, whose average strength was probably only level three or four, so suppressed that they dared not even breathe.

In this environment, of course they dared not say anything and could only tell the truth about their situation.

The answer is, no.

In the vast Lushan Mountain Range, they have not encountered each other since they came in.

Moreover, according to records, the time they entered Mount Lu varied, with the earliest one entering seven days ago.

The latest one entered five days ago.

In other words, among these five people, the earliest one stayed for at least five days.

Moreover, according to normal thinking, if the purpose was simply to offer tribute and be controlled by the fat thief's power, then they could directly find the fastest and most convenient way to directly enter the destination of the fat thief in Lushan.

Giving the other party the monster crystal core they need is the most convenient and most satisfactory method. It is also the fastest and most efficient.

They didn't have to stay so long...

And if they really have the same destination, even for a fourth-level warrior, he can basically explore the entire Mount Lu several times in these five days.

Therefore, Huang Feng and Bai Lu believed that they should not have lied.

They really seemed to have no destination, at least no common destination, because under the current circumstances, five days was more than enough for them to find a common place.

But why, they haven't met once so far...

There is really no other answer besides this explanation.

All of a sudden, the investigators were almost caught in a dilemma again, and for the time being, they were at a loss as to what to do.

Now, I have really become a headless fly...

They didn't have a specific destination, so maybe there was only one last way...

"That means turning the entire Mount Lao upside down, digging the entire mountain range three feet deep, and finding the cunning beast?"

"Don't worry." Bai Lu patted Huang Feng's shoulder, even though even if he raised his arm, he could only barely reach Huang Feng's head.

He continued, “Because so far, we have only gone through a few half days or a few hours.

It's still early, so we need to be patient. After all, the natural topography of Mount Laoshan is preserved as much as possible to find the strange beast."

Huang Feng seemed to realize at this time that he was a little anxious. He glanced at Zhang Chaoqiang. After all, he brought this young man with him this time, so it was reasonable for him to want to hurry up and get it done without taking up too much of his time.

In addition, they had to show the strongest state of their investigation bureau in front of Zhang Chaoqiang to maintain their strength in front of him.

So it is indeed important to seize the time, but thinking back to their previous experiences in capturing exotic beasts.

Basically, it takes a relatively long time to complete, ranging from a few months to several years or even more than ten years. There are even cases where after spending several years, nothing is gained in the end.

It seems that the fastest time was the hook-cutting incident.

It took less than a month from discovery to capture.

And in such a short period of time, it was not entirely due to their investigators, but because Zhang Chaoqiang forced the other party out.

They were able to complete the capture and learn the truth about how they had been affected.

Thinking about it this way, it was really frustrating. Not only did they not show their strength in front of Zhang Chaoqiang, who was still a child, but they also needed help from him.

At the same time, because of Zhang Chaoqiang, the best record in the history of their investigators' investigation and capture of exotic beasts was broken.

So how can such a person not be taken seriously?
Soon, lunch was cooked. The smell of the wild beast was quite strong, so some equally pungent spices needed to be added to cover up the smell.

The group of people ate with relish, but Liu Feng and the other five warriors could only watch them enjoy the meal.

It's their fault for not being able to provide any valuable information or clues to the investigators. They can only look but not eat, which is already the lightest punishment.

Up to now, Zhang Chaoqiang had been holding the first-level monster crystal core, and only let it go when he was about to grab the freshly roasted beef with his hands.

It was this action that made him notice the changes in the past few hours.

“It’s dim.”

Zhang Chaoqiang clearly noticed that the crystal core, which had been flashing with a fairly clear light, had now almost completely dimmed and was no longer bright.

What does this mean?
This means that the investigator named Lao Song was not wrong in what he had noticed.

Indeed, it means that the spiritual power in the monster's crystal core is being consumed continuously.

The first-order crystal core, which reacted more violently and faster than the second-order crystal core he had at that time...

In just four hours, the situation changed from abundant spiritual energy storage to a dull and dim situation due to the dissipation of spiritual energy.

"I'm afraid there are problems in every place in this mountain!"

Zhang Chaoqiang looked around and blurted out this sentence.

He had just spent several hours searching for the route, and his position was always changing from beginning to end.

However, the spiritual power of the crystal core was gradually dissipating, rather than dissipating all at once, which was the same as what happened to Old Song before.

This mountain is a bit dirty, it seems to be full of dirt...

After learning about this situation, Zhang Chaoqiang told Huang Feng, Bai Lu and others.

"Look!"

Zhang Chaoqiang handed the first-level crystal core in his hand, which had become dim and without any light, to them for inspection. At the same time, he asked the investigator named Lao Song to check the crystal core that he had put away before.

“I heard before that the crystal core worn by Uncle Song, which was exposed to the air, seemed to be gradually becoming dim, which means that the spiritual power in it was leaking rapidly.

So I kept an eye on it and am constantly trying to verify this situation.

So you see, after about four or five hours, the brightness of this first-order crystal core has changed, which means that it has almost lost all its spiritual power from its abundant state. "

"So, all these phenomena were basically discovered after entering Mount Laoshan..."

After Zhang Chaoqiang said this, the investigators immediately began the verification, took the crystal core out of their hands, and then waited to see if it had a different state.

Afterwards, Bai Lu, who had been flying, seemed to have thought of something after hearing Zhang Chaoqiang's verification.

His eyes rolled towards the sky, and he kept thinking about what had just happened.

He thought for some time, and then told Zhang Chao and others about his feelings and his previous experience.

"Huang Feng, you should also know that although flying consumes a lot of spiritual power, the spiritual power strength of a seventh-level warrior is about 100,000P, and a monster crystal core of the same level can probably replenish the spiritual power of a seventh-level warrior about two to three times.

But the crystal core of mine was only replenished less than twice just now. I was wondering why the crystal core consumption rate suddenly became so fast.

And according to what Zhang Chaoqiang said, this is indeed the case..."

Zhang Chaoqiang was still in deep thought.

He seemed to have already had his own guesses in his mind, and now Bai Lu took the initiative to tell him about the clues and abnormal situations he had just encountered.

Then you are one step closer to verifying your hypothesis.

Now, he only needs one last step to basically get the information and situation of the strange beast, the fat thief.

He strode forward and asked while everyone was talking to each other:
"Did Uncle Bai Lu find the crystal cores or items they stole from them?"

Bai Lu slapped his head and said, "I was in such a hurry to find them just now that I didn't have time to check them carefully."

"Uncles, please go and search for the stolen crystal cores on them."

Zhang Chaoqiang was very polite, and the investigators thought he seemed a little too unfamiliar because this was exactly what they were supposed to do.

With a whoosh, just as the investigators were about to search their space rings, Zhang Chao forcibly stopped them.

“Those stolen items should not be in their space rings, they should be on their bodies!

Pockets, trouser pockets and other places that can directly contact the air!"

"Comrade Zhang Chaoqiang, how did you know?"

Sure enough, based on Zhang Chaoqiang's speculation, the investigators found the crystal cores that were stolen from them!

"How do you know that they didn't put the stolen items and resources in the space ring?"

The next second, Zhang Chaoqiang pointed his finger, and everyone focused their attention on those things... (End of this chapter)
