From the looks of it, this young man was obviously wary of them. He wouldn't say anything unless they forced him.
Unfortunately, their tracks had been exposed, and they lacked an opportunity to launch a sneak attack. If they failed, they would have an extra enemy.
Moreover, Gao Peng looked young, but he already had several familiars.
Even though Gao Peng had asked Da Zi to hide in the dead leaves, he could still see everything clearly.
A total of three familiars.
Even the salted fish jellyfish, which had a combat strength of 0, was considered a threat.
To be able to raise three familiars at such a young age, he either had money or strength.
Either way, he was not to be trifled with.
Moreover, the aura of the familiar in the black robe made Tutu, who was on his shoulder, feel uneasy.
Years of experience told him that unless he had a chance to completely solve the problem, he shouldn't make enemies for himself.
There were usually only two outcomes for people who made too many enemies.
Either they were so strong that none of their enemies dared to make a sound.
Or they died miserably.
Especially in this f * cking world, who knew what new familiar could take his life without him knowing.
He tried his best to comfort himself and suppress the desire in his heart.
The captain called Deng Sen and Yao Huan, and the three of them turned to leave.
To be honest, he was still very curious … What was in that tree?!
After the three of them walked away,
Yao Huan's tense face relaxed a little, and he heaved a sigh of relief. Although he used to fight in the underground, he did it to earn money for his sister's school fees. When his sister was very young, his parents died in a car accident, leaving him and his sister to rely on each other.
Although he fought in the underground, smoked, drank, got tattoos, and went to bars, he knew that he was a good person.
He had never done crimes like robbery, kidnapping, or murder. Just now, he was indeed a little nervous.
Deng Sen's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, even though he was dark to begin with.
After holding it in for a long time, he finally couldn't take it anymore. "Boss, why didn't we make a move just now? Maybe that guy's familiar is just a little more sensitive. If we really fought, he might not be a match for us. "
The captain shook his head. "Not everything can be solved through fighting and killing. Let's wait for him to leave and then go back. Let's see if we can find any clues. He can break the trees … We can also go and fight. There are so many trees in the forest anyway." As he spoke, the captain's face revealed an enigmatic smile.
There was no fundamental conflict between him and Gao Peng. If Gao Peng had other conspicuous treasures in his hands, he might have taken the risk of offending others and cleaned up all traces.
In the end, it was very simple.
Were the benefits big enough?
"Understood." Deng Sen nodded.
After holding it in for a long time, Deng Sen said faintly, "But Boss, I'm really curious about what's inside the tree."
"… I'm curious too. Alright, don't forget our mission today. We've wasted a lot of time just now. Let's hurry up," the captain said.
After they left, Gao Peng's tense nerves finally relaxed.
To be honest, he didn't know what he would do if those people really wanted to attack him.
Would he kill them directly? Gao Peng wasn't sure.
But fortunately, those people didn't continue to cause trouble for him. This was naturally the best outcome.
After that, he asked Dumb to speed up. Gao Peng didn't want to waste too much time and run into other people.
After busying himself for two hours, almost all the Bottle Trees in the area had been destroyed. Only a mess was left. The Wood Hearts were also finally collected. There were two kilograms of them.
Looking at the broken trees on the ground, Gao Peng felt a little helpless. Basically, every tree was broken from the trunk. This was too obvious.
At this time, the sky was getting dark. They had to hurry.
Gao Peng called Da Zi over. They searched around and soon found a black fruit the size of a walnut.
Removing the outer shell, the fragile shell was torn open, and white sticky threads grew out from the cracks of the shell.
Underneath the hard black shell was a lot of red hair.
He loosened the hair and pulled it into strands. Then, he placed a layer of dead leaves at the bottom and waved Da Zi over.
Da Zi crawled over in a daze. Gao Peng pinched its feelers. It was like playing with two wires. When the wires at the top touched each other, they would explode with electric arcs.
Mm. Gao Peng nodded in satisfaction.
Although Da Zi's current strength was still unable to release lightning, being able to do so was a natural process. It wasn't something that could be done in a single leap.
Being able to release electric arcs was enough.
In the center of the electric arc were red hairs. After trying a few times, they were finally ignited. The red hairs were like cotton from before the Cataclysm.
The flames rose, and with the help of the dead leaves below, the fire continued to grow.
How many years had the forest been set on fire?
Gao Peng thought about it.
Before the Cataclysm, there was a sentence, but after the Cataclysm, this sentence seemed to have been removed.
On one hand, the area had expanded many times, and the forest had grown many times over.
On the other hand, the vitality and resistance of these plants were more tenacious than expected. It was impossible for this kind of ordinary fire to start a prairie fire in the forest.
However, the vitality of the broken Bottle Trees had decreased significantly, and they could only be ruthlessly devoured by the raging fire.
The light of the fire shone on Gao Peng's face, and the flickering flames seemed to flicker.
After seeing all the Bottle Trees burn to ashes with his own eyes, Gao Peng turned and left.
At night, the three of them arrived. The air was still filled with the smell of burning. Scattered sparks could be seen on the ground, as well as a thick layer of ash.
The fire had only burned the surrounding area. Any further and it was beyond its power, as if it was limited by an invisible force.
Deng Sen looked at the ashes on the ground and was speechless. What could be left after being burned to this extent? That kid was really cunning.
In contrast to Deng Sen's speechlessness, the captain's expression became serious. He looked at the ashes on the ground and sighed. "Forget it. Let's pretend this never happened. Let's go back."
"Ah, captain, we're just going to let this go?" Deng Sen scratched his head.
