"Teacher Tian, where are you?"
"Fangfang, where are you?"
The urgent voice echoed in the underground space, and no one received any response except for waves of echoes.
Dr. Tian, who had just come down with them, disappeared as if he had evaporated.
Not only that, but Dr. Tian also disappeared with a female undergraduate student from Jinling Beast Control University and the second-level rock spirit.
"It's not an option to shout like this. Let's get together and don't get separated."
The sudden attrition made the atmosphere in the team extremely tense.
In the team, Liu Long, one of the graduate students who was 1.8 meters tall and wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, hurriedly called everyone over.
Jiang Fan didn't know much about these people, he only knew their names on the ground.
In addition to graduate student Liu Long, there is also a female graduate student with a pockmarked face named He Xianfeng; apart from the two of them, there is also a boy with a shaved head named Qian Yi.
Everyone gathered together and listened quietly to Liu Long's arrangements.
"Hey, it's really troublesome. Teacher Tian and Fangfang are missing now, and our plan may have to change accordingly.
In addition to capturing an underground beast, we also need to find Teacher Tian and Fangfang."
"But this place He's so big, where can we find him? And I felt that this space was very strange when I first came in. Could something bad happen?"
Qian Yi shrank his neck. He was originally 1.8 meters tall. His height shrunk to 1.7 meters.
"Don't worry, Teacher Tian made us fully prepared before we came.
In order to prevent us from getting separated, Teacher Tian prepared a sniffing gopher for me and Xiao He.
The sniffing gopher is born with a sensitive sense of smell . , very suitable for finding people."
Liu Long said, taking out a bunch of gray hair wrapped with tape from the backpack behind him.
"This is Teacher Tian's hair. Let the sniffing gopher sniff it so it can locate the target."
He sniffed the hair on the tip of the sniffing gopher's nose. After a while, the sniffing gopher came out with a "squeaking sound". "The sound clearly indicates something has been gained.
This was not the first time Jiang Fan had seen a beast like the sniffing gopher. When he was at Ye Manor, he knew that Zhang Weimin, the director of the special office, had one.
"Is Teacher Tian's hair so white? I thought he was fine except for a little less hair." He Xianfeng's pockmarked face was full of doubts; she was also one of Dr. Tian's students and looked at Liu Longna The white hair that came out was a bit unbelievable.
"Haha, that's because you don't know that Teacher Tian uses the juice of the ink octopus in his laboratory to wash his hair every day.
The juice of the ink octopus has a dyeing effect that can last for about a day or two. After being air-dried for a long time, the dyed items will become Fading."
"Ah, is there such a thing? Teacher Tian usually doesn't seem to care, but I didn't expect him to be so dissatisfied with old age, haha."
Everyone couldn't help but smile knowingly after hearing such a strange thing. All relaxed a lot.
"According to previous intelligence, the location we are currently in is not the upper level of the underground space. These winding mountain wall planks are just roads leading to the upper space.
Let's go, follow the spirit-sniffing gopher, and say Maybe something will be gained."
Liu Long asked everyone in the team to turn on their bright flashlights, and then slowly followed the steps of the sniffing gopher.
Although the stone wall plank road is narrow along the way, there is no sign of looseness.
"This place looks like it was built deliberately by someone. It's really strange."
"I heard that many rock-type beasts build lairs underground. Do you think these are those rock-type beasts? Did it? "
"But the technology of the beast master is too great, isn't it? These stone wall roads are interconnected and orderly, just like the cliff paths in the scenic area; if it was really made by the beast master, I doubt their chief engineer is It's not something we have studied systematically in our human world."
Everyone was chatting while walking, and as the path continued to wind down, Jiang Fan, who was walking at the back, felt something was not right.
This strangeness happened for no reason, just like a sixth sense; no one else noticed it, but Jiang Fan felt it.
He always felt like people like him were being watched by pairs of black eyes. The further down he went, the stronger this feeling became.
"Hey~"
Everyone was walking quietly when a sudden voice broke the peaceful atmosphere.
Jiang Fan was walking at the back. He Xianfeng in front of him suddenly exclaimed and fell to the ground.
If Jiang Fan hadn't reached out to protect her head in time, she would have hit the protruding stone on the nearby stone wall.
"What happened?"
Liu Long, the team leader, suddenly turned around.
"It seems that I twisted my ankle." He Xianfeng's hissing sound came from his mouth, and he touched his ankle with one hand. It looked like it was probably very painful.
"No, how can you, a second-level beastmaster, twist your foot? If word spreads about this, will you be laughed at?"
Liu Long paled angrily, as did He Xianfeng.
"Who knows? It's okay for you two to walk in front, but I stumbled on a stone for no reason. Who can I ask to explain it?"
He Fengxian shouted that it was bad luck, but at the same time, he did not forget to say thank you to Jiang Fan.
"Who do you blame if you don't have eyes when you walk? Besides, the road is so flat, how can there be any rocks you mentioned?"
"Look, No, it's right there."
He Fengxian pointed to the ground not far away, and sure enough, there happened to be a stone. There was a stone as big as a fist blocking it.
"Hey, it wasn't there just now." Liu Long frowned slightly. He poked the stone with the detection rod in his hand, and then prepared to sweep the stone directly into the bottomless empty space.
But who knew that just when Liu Long made a move, his detection rod was directly clamped by a pliers protruding from under the stone.
Everyone: "?"
"This is a rock crab. The rock crab's shell is similar to a stone. Their hobby is to stay quietly.
And rock crabs live near the water. If you can find this kind of creature, it means there is a water source nearby."
Jiang Fan opened his mouth to explain. He could tell the details of the rock crab at a glance.
Rock crabs can also be considered a type of beast, but because they are too weak and cannot evolve, few people will bother to catch them.
"It turns out to be a rock crab. It scared me. Unfortunately, it's not a new species of beast, so it has no reference value."
After hearing Jiang Fan's words, everyone was relieved.
No one was too surprised that Jiang Fan could recognize the name of this thing at a glance.
After all, who wants to become a beast master, who can't recognize dozens or hundreds of beast masters?
"It's a false alarm, let's move o
n." Liu Long wiped the sweat from his forehead.
But just as he turned his head, a sudden voice made him freeze in place.
