Chapter 300 Mysterious Wreckage
"Maybe it's just a coincidence," said Dick nonchalantly.
"Is it really irrelevant?" Ah Zhi shook his head, "I'm afraid that's not the case."
"Do you still remember the group of weird footprints that Xiao Miao found yesterday afternoon? She guessed that they were probably the footprints left by Little Jack, and these footprints happened to appear near the hoofprints of Prince Razor. If this is not a coincidence, then we It's probably no coincidence that it's heading towards Brother Jack's lair."
"Mr. Azhi, are you suspecting that Brother Jack and Prince Razor are on the same team?"
Thomas immediately denied his guess.
"Impossible! The Razor Prince is a crazy beast with no reason at all. It is impossible for normal people to live in peace with this monster, let alone form an alliance!"
"Brothers Jack are not 'normal people', they are mysterious and evil goblins, perverted killers, just as crazy as Prince Razor, and God knows if there will be an agreement between a crazy killer and a crazy beast Some kind of consensus!"
A Zhi's rebuttal made Thomas speechless, forced a smile, and said with a feigned ease: "It doesn't matter even if Brother Jack forms an alliance with Prince Razor, just to catch them all by the way!"
"To put it lightly..."
Ah Zhi rolled his eyes disapprovingly.
In his opinion, with the strength of himself and his companions, it would be very difficult to deal with Prince Razor alone. If Brother Jack is added, it is really hard to say who will win.
At this time, a sharp whistle suddenly came from the forest ahead, Qiao An immediately recognized that it was the signal from Xiao Miao, and quickly reminded his companions: "Sister Miao seems to have found something, go and have a look!"
A group of people quickened their pace and quickly came to the place where the whistle sounded. They were surprised to find that the trees in front seemed to have been damaged by a hurricane.
In the depths of the dense forest, there will be no tornado for no reason. There is only one reasonable explanation for this messy scene.
"There was a fierce battle here. Judging from the traces of the trees being destroyed, both sides were very large in size and possessed terrifying power. They could destroy thick trees with a single wave of their hands."
Xiao Miao told his companions his guesses from investigating the traces at the scene.
Joan leaned over to check the traces on the ground, and soon found the hoofprints of Prince Razor. Besides that, there were no other footprints in the glade clear enough to be recognized, which puzzled him a lot.
"Sister Meow, one of the parties in the conflict here must be Prince Razor, but I can't see who its opponent is."
"That's because you haven't observed carefully enough. Besides, Prince Razor's opponent is not human at all, and doesn't even need to walk on two feet. If you want to find its footprints, you are bound to be disappointed."
Xiao Miao smiled mysteriously, picked up a branch and drew on the ground.
"Here, here, and here—do you see anything unusual?"
Qiao An observed carefully under Xiaomiao's guidance, and found that the places she circled were more or less piles of fresh and moist sand, and the fallen leaves were far rarer than other places.
This is indeed a bit abnormal, but what can some vague signs prove?
Joan couldn't think of an answer.
"These soils are actually a different kind of footprint."
"Let's take the groundhog as an example. This small animal is good at digging holes. In order to avoid natural enemies, it seldom moves on the surface. Occasionally, it needs to leave the underground world, so it will dig a tunnel leading to the ground. Breathe."
Xiao Miao explained to him in a low voice.
"Sister Meow, I often see groundhogs in the countryside, and there are indeed mounds of sand near the groundhog's burrow, but here there are only mounds, but no holes..."
"This shows that the creatures that left these sands can move freely in the formation without digging caves, and when it emerges from the ground, it is a critical moment to attack Prince Razor. These sands are the traces left by the two sides fighting." Xiao Miao answered thoughtfully.
"Sister Meow, what you said is too bizarre. I can't think of any creature that can travel freely up and down the ground without leaving tunnels and caves, unless the other party is good at sneaking underground." Thomas scratched his head and smiled wryly.
"Good at sneaking underground..."
An unintentional remark from Thomas prompted Joan to be inspired, recalling the scene he saw not long ago, and fell into deep thought.
"I'm not guessing without evidence, come with me, and you will understand after seeing this."
Xiao Miao turned and walked to the corner opposite the open space, and stopped in front of a large pile of sand.
Joan and Thomas followed, and Vasa, Downs, Azhi, Sister Custis and Brother Tyndale also gathered to watch the towering mound curiously.
"Joan, have you noticed that the sand looks like a broken statue, this is the head, and this is the arm... It's a pity that it has been destroyed and can't see its true colors."
Rebecca circled the mound twice, but she had doubts afterward.
"It's so strange, who built a huge clay sculpture deep in this dense forest? If it is said that this is an idol set up by the indigenous people on the island to hold some kind of primitive sacrificial ceremony, why was it destroyed by Prince Razor?"
"Rebecca, this is probably not a religious ritual object, but the remains of a 'large earth elemental'."
Joan solemnly stated the conclusion reached after a long period of thinking.
"Someone once summoned a large earth element here to fight Prince Razor, and the two sides fought fiercely."
"It's a pity that the large earth elemental is not the opponent of Prince Razor after all. It was finally destroyed here, and the spirit returned to the earth elemental plane, leaving only this wreck made of sand and sand."
"Large earth element... It requires at least level 5 'monster summoning' to be successfully summoned, but among all the spellcasters participating in the hunting competition, no one is high enough to cast a level 5 spell." Rebecca frowned question.
"You don't necessarily need to cast spells yourself. Low-level spellcasters can also summon large earth elements with the help of scrolls or magic tools."
Thomas took the conversation, with a strange expression on his face.
"I happen to know a person who has a magic pendant that can summon a large earth element."
"It must be Edward Gates! I saw him use the emerald magic pendant to summon a large earth element!" Roger also remembered at this moment.
Qiao An took a deep breath, turned around and asked Xiao Miao: "Sister Miao, did you find any human blood at the scene?"
"No blood was found, and the dogs and I couldn't smell any blood..." Xiao Miao wrinkled his nose and said with a smile, "It does smell like urine. Someone urinated here not long ago."
"There's no need to say such a tasteless joke!" Joan shook his head dumbfoundingly, "We'd better track down Prince Razor, maybe we can stop him from killing Edward in time."
Xiao Miao put away her smile, whistled, called the hounds to lead the way, and continued to advance into the depths of the jungle, followed by Joan and his party.
Everyone walked for an unknown distance in the dense forest, and Xiao Miao suddenly stopped again, looking around vigilantly.
