Chapter 50 The Ecology of Talun Region
The dark crystal lens hangs on the treetops, like a silent eye, staring at the dark and quiet woodland. Craftsmen call the investigation in such a specific environment "Fighting at the darkness". Fighting craftsmen are among the investigators who are not good at dealing with work in dark environments. Darkness will reduce the sight range of the clockwork fairies, and make the investigators ignore more details. Fighting craftsmen often focus on their visual dependence and cannot use hearing, smell, or even touch. This is their natural limitation.
But craftsmen also have their own ways, such as adding night vision modules, or increasing the number of reconnaissances within the unit range, and using the quantity to make up for the quality. A very small number of people will choose the former because the additional modules will reduce the performance of the clockwork fairy in general, occupy more computing power, or at least, let the alchemist bring more unnecessary burdens.
Therefore, the twilight alchemist also chose the number strategy. He kept switching between the seven clockwork witches, and the darkness and deep woods were quiet as if they were silent. In fact, he could release more clockwork witches. Thirteen or fourteen were his limits, but there was no need. At his level, this was not a good ability worth showing off. Moreover, it was difficult to distract from paying attention to the movements in the forest after reaching the limit.
He understood that he was just an assistant - using seven clockwork fairies to control this area, so that the other party would not dare to move easily, narrow the scope bit by bit, and let the "hunter" in front of him capture the target. An excellent combat craftsman should understand the limits of his ability and cooperate with his teammates to play his greatest role.
He even divided two clockwork elves to monitor the neighboring areas to prevent unexpected opponents from entering the area. In the forest, this layer of airspace under the canopy is a must-fight for combat craftsmen. If you fly too high, you will easily find that if you fly too low, you will easily entangle the shrubs unless someone can walk through the canopy, but the alchemist of the Twilight Guild thinks that such a person should not exist.
But what he thought did not exist was now like a ghost passing through the pores between the branches and branches and leaves, like three silent gazes, sweeping past the woods. In fact, if necessary, in the wide-field mode, Fang Zhuo was not unable to lower the clockwork fairy to the height of the shrub layer, but it was not necessary - he couldn't think of any other meaning besides showing off his skills.
He still claims to be a pragmatist.
The forest under the night was bright in the view of the silver bee swarm through the light crystal module, which was as bright as noon. The little bit of calculation added was slightly different for the square leopard. He even easily saw the reflection of the clockwork fairy hovering under the treetops. The color was a bit light under the light night vision environment, but the material of its shell could still be distinguished.
Someone is fighting in the forest—
It is naturally impossible for the combat craftsmen to release the clockwork monster for no reason, and the other party's clockwork monster did not notice them, which means that there is still a third party in this woodland that opposes the combat craftsman. Discovering a clockwork monster may not be a big deal, but Fang Yu knew that the actions of the clockwork monsters were regular - they mostly spread around one point at the center, which depends on the search habits of different combat craftsmen.
Even Fang Zhu himself had his own habits, but his wide-field search and his alertness made it difficult for him to not find the other party when his clockwork fairy was discovered. Fang Zhu let his bee swarm spread apart, and in a very comfortable position, about a hundred meters away, he found a second clockwork fairy. Ordinary - Fang Zhu thought, at least this person's method of using the clockwork fairy was a typical academic school, not that the academy was not good, but generally speaking, if he didn't have his own things, it was easy to guess the intention.
He could not make such an evaluation in the past - at that time he could not even tell what kind of school he was, but now he is different from the past. At least in terms of knowledge, he is no longer the same as before. With a second clockwork fairy, it is easy to find the next one, and even expose the other party's entire investigation network.
Fang Zhu did the same.
The three silver bees quietly unfolded counterclockwise, capturing every node on the Internet one by one. It sounds long, but in fact it only takes ten seconds.
Soon, he saw another target - a nightingale lurking in the bushes. He looked like a woman in figure. Because he could not tell his age, his weapon was a long and short sword. Most of the people who used such a weapon were full-time wanderers - which is what people often call night thieves. This is a very common branch of the nightingale, specializing in fiddling with traps, and he could do anything to open the door and pick the locks.
The night thieves do not have as many fancy abilities as the shadow nightingale, but with the keenest perception among the nightingale, she even noticed Fang Zhu's clockwork fairy, raised her head and glanced at the dark canopy.
She asked in a hoarse voice: "I seem to hear something?"
But it was too embarrassing for the alchemist to see something in the layered canopy of a hundred meters away. The alchemist complained and lifted a clockwork fairy into the air and looked around for a week, but found nothing.
"Nothing, it might be a bat or a night owl," he replied. "Don't be distracted, the target may be right ahead."
Fang Zhu let his bee swarm fly a little higher, and the other party's keenness surprised him a little - but when the woman spoke, he recognized that this was the master of the previous voice, and it seemed that the other party was searching for someone, or someone.
But what really surprised him was the outfit on the other party. This was not the first time he had seen the style of the battle robe - "People from the Twilight Guild?" Fang Yu was slightly stunned. He had preconceived suspicion of these people and involuntarily connected with what had happened before.

Fang Yu instantly retracted his mind, turned around, and made a low voice gesture to Big Cat Man and Jita. Then he gestured and said, "Twilight people, I feel that they are not doing anything good. Let's sneak over to see the situation. There is a combat craftsman over there and a night thief."
The big cat man also asked him with gestures: "How to solve the problem with the combat craftsman?"
"The other party may not be on the front line, so it is not realistic to find him out. The combat craftsman's control range can reach a distance of several thousand meters. We can cut into the blind spot of his vision, but getting closer to the past is indeed a problem, I am afraid that it will attract the other party's attention."
Fang Zhuan replied that they were not clockwork fairies after all - they couldn't fly.
But Jita took a light breath and whispered: "I might have a way."
"What did you say, Jita?" Her voice was so low that Fang Yu couldn't hear it clearly at the first time.
"I said I have a way, Brother Ed."
"Then you try it, Jita."
The scholar nodded, opened his magic book, and held it up with a small hand. The invisible wind surrounded the silver book, making it suspend in mid-air.
She pressed one hand on the page, read out a few syllables that seemed obscure to others, and then pointed forward:
"...When we passed through the mountains of Taron, we saw such strange creatures, both rocks, living beings, and even a strange ecology...
——684,1,10, "Ecology in the Taron Region""
In the gentle description of Jita, in the direction guided by her snow-white fingertips, a piece of earth shaking in the forest, a gray-white rock shook off the soil and roots, climbed up from the ground, gradually forming a tall rock puppet. The movement behind obviously attracted the attention of the people in front of them - although the combat craftsmen could not hear the situation on the battlefield, the nightingale had already reacted first.
"What's going on behind?"
She yelled in the communication crystal.
“What direction?”
“In the southeast of me.”
The alchemist immediately split a clockwork fairy and flew in that direction. When he saw this scene, Fang Zhu immediately pulled the scholar Miss and the Big Catman into the bushes and quietly advanced to the north.
The gray-white rock giant reflected in his sight obviously attracted the full attention of the alchemist, not paying attention to the situation in the bushes across the river.
In just a moment, his somewhat unexpected voice came from the crystal: "A rock giant, be careful, Ruin, it is near you. How did you mess with this thing?"
"Don't make a sound," the voice of a ranger who had not made a sound came from the crystal. He stood up from the branches that had been hiding, raised his longbow, and shot an arrow at the gray-white rock giant. But the arrow was so powerful that it hit a big tree not far from the rock giant.
Jita didn't expect that there was a ranger hidden there. Seeing this scene, he subconsciously moved his little hand on the page, but Fang Yu had already held her hand down:
"Don't move, he's testing you."
"The Rock Giants are a very special elemental creature. They do not have the ability to perceive the outside world themselves, but they coexist with a winged lizard. The two can make them feel everything around them through a special connection."
"The eyesight and hearing of the winged lizard are very poor. Relying on sensitive smell actions, if you move just now, you will expose the fact that this rock giant is a human summoning."
Fang Zhu whispered.
Jita blushed a little. It was not that she didn't know about this, but she just didn't react for a while. "Sorry, Brother Ed."
"No need to say sorry," Fang Yu shook his head. "It's perfect to think of summoning rock giants in this place. Fairies, winged lizards and tree people often appear in the same area, and they won't doubt too much."
"But my magic can't last for too long."
“It’s enough.”
The tree man's ranger looked at the rock giant, and He Cai put down the longbow in his hand and said to the two people on the other side of the crystal: "I'll deal with this thing. You continue to focus on the target, don't expose it."
After saying that, he jumped down from the tree, raised his bow again, and shot an arrow at the Rock Giant. The arrow did not deviate from the way, and one arrow hit the Rock Giant's chest. The latter's huge figure shook slightly, and several winged lizards climbed up from behind it and stopped on the shoulders of the giant.
When the Ranger saw the winged lizards, he was completely relieved that some elemental creatures could summon these elemental creatures, but they could not summon the winged lizards that coexisted with them. He put his hand beside his mouth, blew a loud whistle in that direction, and then he flashed backwards.
This thing is thick and thick in skin. He didn't intend to waste his arrows on it. He just needed to pull it away from this area.
...
When the other party attracted the attention of the Rock Giant, Fang Zhu and the Big Cat Man had already wade across the river. He left the scholar in the bushes on the banks of the river and told her not to speak out no matter what.
Jita nodded obediently, and Fang Zhu and Rhet continued to sneak in that direction, one south and one north.
However, after sneaking for a while, he stopped and looked up north. In just a moment, he could no longer see the shadow of the big cat man in that direction. Fang Zhu turned over and hid under a huge dead tree, pressed his hand on the information crystal, and projected three dragon hunters.
But he was not in a hurry to attack.
Because he was just suspicious of the other party, but it is not ruled out that the other party also had the same purpose as them.
At the other end of the forest, the moment the twilight Ranger blew his whistle, Alice could no longer calm down. Although the Rock Giant had a coincidence, she could only believe that this was a coincidence. There were only two of the other three left. If she could not seize this opportunity, she really couldn't think of any better opportunity she would find.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! She took out a black crystal and threw it out in one direction. The crystal turned into a smog in the air, forming a human-shaped shape.
At the same time, Alice suddenly rushed out of her hiding place and ran out in the opposite direction. But as soon as she moved, a figure in the darkness rushed towards her.
Alice turned around in shock and was thrown to the ground by the shadow, "Catch you, little cat!" The nightingale from the Twilight Guild screamed, but before she could finish her voice, she saw the girl in her hand turning into a cloud of smoke.
The other party realized that he was deceived. He turned around and saw Alice jumping up from the bushes, getting farther and farther away from her.
But Alice didn't take a few steps and suddenly felt empty under her feet. She reacted quickly, reached out and grabbed the aerial roots of a giant tree nearby and then flew into the air.
It was just at this time that a net came across the air, just to tell her to entangle her firmly.
She felt a huge force coming from her feet, pulling her upside down, hanging her head down in the air. In the upside down view, Alice saw the dirt-faced nightingale walking towards her.
"Little cat, do you think you are the only one who can plot against people?"
She said with a sneer.
Alice was about to speak, but the other party had already slapped him: "Shut up, I hate the shadow dance system the most."
Alice groaned with a muffled groan, but knew that she was not immune and was still very awake. She reached out and pulled the short sword at her waist hard, preparing to commit suicide.
But the Nightingale was much higher than hers, her eyes were fast, and she slapped the dagger in her hand and then grabbed her by force and pulled her up:
"Don't try these little tricks."
"You can't torture me." Alice said calmly, narrowing her eyes.
"This is not considered torture," the other party replied with a sneer: "The battle between us is not over yet."
"Is that true?"
Alice asked back.
The woman was slightly stunned, and suddenly her face changed drastically, but Alice gently pressed her magic furnace with her other hand, and the dagger that was knocked out flew back like a flash of lightning.
It was unbiased and hit the woman's back shoulder.
"There is poisonous on the dagger." Alice kindly reminded the other party.
The woman groaned, kicked her away with one foot, pulled out the long dagger with her backhand, and stabbed Alice in the chest with a sword.
But Alice didn't struggle. She understood that this was the best result, so she just closed her eyes and waited for death. But the death in her imagination had not come, but she heard the woman's scream.
She opened her eyes unexpectedly, and found that the woman retreated repeatedly, and her right hand, which was originally holding the dagger, had broken her arms. The other party pressed the broken mouth with one hand, and tears were almost flowing through pain.
A tall figure, holding a holy sword in his hand, had a long mane majestic and tall figure, blocking her. The owner of the figure even spoke to her gracefully:
"Miss Alice, long time no see."
"Because of the fragrant kiss between you and your sister--"
"Our captain has been obsessed with it."
Alice opened her mouth and couldn't help but think of the fact that she and her sister deceived the fool. She couldn't help but feel a little hot. But it wasn't because of shyness that she was probably caught and felt guilty.
...
The moment the big cat man saw Alice, Fang Zhu had already received the news. In fact, he had already seen the situation there through the clockwork fairy.
He didn't expect that they would meet Miss Nightingale's twin sister in this place - I heard that the other party had been incorporated by the military, but how could it appear here?
However, considering these things at the moment is obviously not the top priority. The moment the Big Cat Man takes action, the other side's ranger also reacts.
At that moment, Jita's magic finally couldn't hold on. The rock giant summoned from the book "Ecology of the Taron Region" suddenly collapsed and turned into several rolling gray giant rocks-
Those winged lizards also turned into spots of light and dissipated in the darkness.
In the stunned gaze of the Ranger, he heard a panicked voice coming from his communication crystal: "...my clockwork fairy... Be careful, there are enemies..."
But the notification was too late.
In the eyes of the ranger, behind the falling rocks, several slender shadows appeared. They were raising their guns and aiming in this direction.
The Ranger's reaction was quick, and he turned over and rolled into the bushes behind him. In the flashing fire, the bullet hit the position where he was standing.
Through this round of shooting, he roughly judged the direction of the enemy and rolled and hid under a towering ancient tree nearby. However, as soon as he stopped, a soft beep came from his ear.
A golden, but the size of a palm flew in from outside, hitting the ground not far away from him, rolling and stopping in front of him.
Clockwork Goblin?
The Ranger was slightly stunned. He hadn't seen anyone who could control the clockwork fairy to the ground. He subconsciously reached out to the thing, intending to pick it up and throw it out.
But he soon regrets his actions-
There was a loud bang.
Fang Zhu looked from afar as a ball of golden fireworks rose in the dark forest in that direction.
