"Is there something wrong with our previous reasoning?" Lolo asked. It was already the afternoon of the second day. The team had searched the entire area, but they still couldn't find a trace of the Grey-backed Centipede.
There was no point in searching any further, because with the injuries of the Grey-backed Hou, it was impossible for it to escape so far with the last sacred relic. There was another matter that made the girl feel a little strange. Ever since they arrived at this place, Luo Bu did not speak much other than the necessary investigation and analysis at the beginning. He only immersed himself in searching for the injured Grey-backed Hou with the others. He was very serious in his search, but the more he did so, the more Luoluo felt incredulous. Based on her understanding of this fellow, he was a person who did not like repetitive mechanical labor. Previously, when everyone was searching for the sacred relic in the west of the city, he was not very enthusiastic, and was only responsible for moving his mouth.
Furthermore, it was obvious that the search wasn't going well, and he didn't seem to have anything to say until Lolo spoke up. "Why don't we search again? Could it be that I missed something before? "
"Uh, the possibility of that is very small. We've already checked very carefully." Even Gage disagreed with this suggestion.
Rob thought for a moment and said, "Then let's go to the nest of the Petrified Sawtooth Crocodile."
"But didn't you say that the Petrified Sawtooth Crocodiles rarely leave their territory, and they don't have a hobby of collecting things?" Jenny couldn't help but ask.
"Really? Did I say that? " The quasi magus stared blankly for a moment before saying, "Oh, I remember now. There was a group of Erdal flying squirrels ten miles away from here. Those little things are very interested in metal products and can travel freely underground. It's very likely that they stole the holy relic under the floorboards."
"Hey, you're just making wild guesses." Out of everyone, Lolo was the one who believed in Rob the most. Their previous experience had proven that sometimes this guy's seemingly inexplicable decisions were always proven to be correct. However, this time, Lolo couldn't help but have doubts. "Do you have a plan or not? We don't have much time left. Every second we waste could cost someone their life. If this goes on, we won't make it even if we get the last sacred relic."
The little golem nodded in agreement. In fact, it had long wanted to go back. Claire was still in the workshop. Although she was protected by the magic array, she wouldn't be able to hold on for long if she was discovered by that monster. In its original plan, it was only to bring Luo Luo and the others to see where it hid things, and then there was nothing else for it. However, after Luo Bu deduced the existence of the Grey-backed Centipede, everyone began to search the vicinity. In such a race against time, one more person meant one more force, and the little golem was too embarrassed to mention the matter of escaping again.
However, as time went by, the little golem became more and more doubtful of the abilities of these guys. It felt that there was no future in hanging out with these four idiots, and it might even lower its intelligence. It then had the idea of "you go back to your Gaolao Village, and I'll go back to my Quicksand River". It had already packed its little backpack and was waiting for the four guys to go find the Erdal flying squirrels, so it would sneak away halfway.
Rob looked a little embarrassed. "Uh … we should still have time. Don't worry. If we don't find the last sacred artifact, we won't be able to save those people even if we go back."
The little golem scoffed at the meaningless answer, and Luo Luo looked a little disappointed. She was about to say something, but at this moment, a cicada suddenly sounded in everyone's ears.
Everyone was stunned, and their first reaction was to wonder if they were hallucinating.
Cicadas were naturally very common in the outside world, but there were almost no plants in the underground city, and there were no conditions for ordinary creatures to survive. In fact, even the Magical Beasts, which were known for their tenacious vitality, had to be fed regularly by the staff. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to survive in such a harsh environment. However, after about five seconds, the strange cicada chirp sounded again. The little golem seemed to have thought of something, and its expression changed abruptly. It opened the lid on its chest in a flurry and took out a small box.
There was a golden cicada in the small box.
"Hmm? You have a lot of good stuff on you. " Robb said in surprise, "If I'm not wrong, this should be a Guryani Golden Cicada. This magical beast lives in the Beastman Kingdom and is very rare. Humans rarely see it, and its main use is to track its target. Every three months, the Guryani Golden Cicada will lay a transparent egg the size of a grain of rice. It lives for about a month, and it has strong adhesion properties. It can stick to anything without being discovered. Once the Guryani Golden Cicada gets close to its egg, it will chirp."
While the quasi-magus was speaking, the Guryani Cicada chirped a few more times, and the intervals between the chirps became shorter and shorter. In the end, the chirps became as rapid as a storm. At this time, the others also began to feel that something was wrong. No matter who this guy was, he was moving a little too fast.
"Uh … So, who did you put the Guryani Cicada's egg on?"
The horrified look on the little golem's face gave everyone the answer.
The next moment, a black shadow appeared on the other side of the street. The figure ran at an astonishing speed, and the way it moved was very strange. It was three-dimensional. One moment it was running on the ground, the next it was on the roof, and in the blink of an eye, it had already run past the stone wall. Its terrifying speed allowed it to perform all kinds of unimaginable movements in the air.
It was only when they saw this movement method with their own eyes that they completely understood where those strange footprints under the sand dune had come from. At this moment, everyone in the team had goosebumps. The figure had only used a few short moments to run in front of them. It only came to a sudden stop when it was fifty meters away from the team. This movement and stillness did not have any buffer movements, fully demonstrating its powerful muscle control.
When Lolo saw its face, she couldn't help but cry out, "Teacher Harris!!!"
That black shadow was impressively Teacher Harris. Or rather, it was once Teacher Harris. But now, the old magician's eyes made everyone feel very unfamiliar. His face no longer had the kindness and tenacity of the past. Instead, it was replaced with a cunning and cruel look. His two eyes were rolling around in his eye sockets.
The little golem had already started to silently retreat with its small bag, using the figures of the team to block itself, especially Gage. Poor Fatso was the most effective in blocking its line of sight, so the little golem deliberately moved closer to him. However, it had only taken a few steps when it saw 'Harris' turn his head and grin at it, as if he was seeing an old friend again.
