The Dark King
chapter-901

After following the skid mark for seven to eight minutes, the mark suddenly disappeared.

Horaney seemed to have expected this, and he said to Monica, “My hunting team didn’t find any news when they tracked it here. Can you tell where it went?”

Without waiting for him to ask, Monica had already used her ability to observe the small clues at the end of the skid mark. A moment later, she frowned and said in a low voice, “This thing seems to have been taken away by something else.”

“Taken away?”Holani and Barker’s expressions changed slightly. In the next moment, their eyes flashed as they stared at Monica.

Barker said in a deep voice, “Really?”

Monica knew their guess and did not care. She pointed forward, “There is some mucus left behind by something else here. It has dried up. You Can’t smell it. This mucus has no smell. It should be a monster that is very good at hiding. You can pry open the soil below and touch it to know.”

Holani winked at the ruler beside him. The ruler understood and immediately went forward to pry open the place Monica was pointing at. He dug a small hole and found that his fingers were sticky. He turned around and returned to Holani’s side, he nodded and said, “Sir, there’s something strange about the soil. It’s very wet.”

Holani glared at him. “Nonsense. Miss Monica already said that there’s monster mucus there. How can it not be wet?”

Master was startled but quickly reacted. He bowed to Monica: “Miss Monica, I didn’t mean to offend you. Please forgive me.”

“Nothing.”Monica’s expression was indifferent: “The polar ice worm has fallen into the hands of this monster. It will be more difficult for us to find it. Do you have any countermeasures?”

Dudian and Barker looked at each other and pondered.

Dudian had noticed the mucus in the soil. Although he was an attack type but his vision was also excellent. He thought that Holani and Barker would be able to see it too. He didn’t expect that only Monica would notice it, he glanced at the three and asked: “If the polar ice worm is found by the monster, will it eat it?”

The three turned to look at Dudian. There was a trace of surprise in their eyes.

Dudian was puzzled by the three and immediately realized that he was asking a common sense question. However, he had exposed the mistake. He didn’t hide it and frowned: “What’s the matter?”

Holaney saw that Dudian didn’t seem to know. He couldn’t help but smile, “Did Mr. Dean just become the Abyss?”? The polar ice worm was the ancestor of the parasitic soul worm. The parasitic soul worm could live in the body of the monster so naturally the polar ice worm could also live in the body of the monster. Moreover, it was easier than the parasitic soul worm to invade the body of the monster. Even if the monster had parasitic soul worms in its body, it would have to abdicate in the face of the polar ice worm. Otherwise it would be eaten.”

Dudian’s eyebrows twitched. No wonder the three of them were so surprised. In their eyes, this was basic common sense. As for Hoolani’s probing words, he was too lazy to care about it. After all, he had just become the Abyss not long ago, now that he denied it, the truth was confirmed.

“If the polar ice worm is parasitic in this monster’s body, will it be useful for us to catch it?”Dudian asked again. He didn’t care if this question would make him look ignorant. As long as he could get the answer he wanted.., after all, if they really wanted to fight, they had to rely on their hands.

“Of course it will be useful.”Horaney smiled but didn’t explain why it was useful for Dudian.

“Why?”Dudian continued to ask.

Holani was a bit speechless. But since Dudian asked, he didn’t want to be vague, dudian said: “The ordinary parasitic soul worm will passively control the ability of the monster. But the polar ice worm is different. It can control the ability of the monster. At the critical moment, it can remove this ability and return to its own purity.”

Dudian understood. He thought for a moment but didn’t ask any more questions.

Monica and Barker looked at Dudian. Their expressions were calm and didn’t reveal any thoughts.

“Monica, can you tell the size and type of the monster?”Holaney turned to ask Monica.

“It’s not more than ten meters tall. It’s a reptile. It’s a cold-blooded creature. It’s as good at hiding as other cold-blooded monsters. I don’t know anything else.”Monica calmly replied.

“Then can you track its whereabouts?”Holani asked again.

Monica rolled her eyes at him and said, “If I could find it, I would have said it long ago.”

“That’s true. If that’s the case, even you can’t find its tracks. This is going to be a bit tricky. Do we have to do a blanket search?”Holani felt a headache. If it was in another area.., they could still spread out and search in a concentrated manner, but this was a swamp magic pit. Monsters above level-300 were very common, especially in the central area. There were even monsters that they could not defend against, such as the monster in the swamp.

“We can assume that the polar ice worm has already controlled this monster. The polar ice worm likes low-temperature areas. If I remember correctly, there is an ice lake in the swamp magic pit. It is very likely to go there,”Barker said.

Horani glanced at him, he said, “But that is the inner area of the swamp magic pit. It is close to the center of the magic pit. Moreover, there is an polar ice dragon living in the Ice Lake. The evaluation of the Divine Kingdom’s Monster Institute is that its hunting level is 372. Even if the few of us work together, we might not be able to defeat it. Moreover, it is in the Ice Lake. That is its home ground.”

Barker shook his head, “That’s true, but don’t forget how many people we have here. If we encounter that thing, we only need to pin it down for a moment so that others can fill up the ice lake or evaporate it. It’s like a bird with broken wings. It may not be our opponent on land. Don’t you have the ability to register these people? See how many of them have the ability to use fire or move rock and soil.”

Horaney thought for a moment and asked Monica and Dudian: “What do you think?”

Monica nodded: “Although the risk is a bit big, but it is feasible. We can take the opportunity to kill this ice dragon and then come here in the future. It will save us a big hidden danger so that it won’t mutate again after staying here for a long time.”

“I don’t care. I will listen to you.”Dudian also expressed his position.

“Alright, then we will go to the ice lake according to the plan of the Wall Master.”Holani made a decision and immediately ordered. At the same time he called back the ten teams that were exploring the surroundings, however at the moment three out of the ten teams had sent out danger signals. Most of them were in trouble. Holani was too lazy to mobilize other people to help them. He directly abandoned them. This time he had gathered so many people.., it was meant to be used as scouts and cannon fodder.

If they went to help the cannon fodder, it would be more dangerous if they were delayed here for too long.

After all, danger could happen outside the wall at any time, and this magic pit was a dangerous area. If they stayed for one more minute, they might encounter even more terrifying monsters. After all, there were four to five hundred of them gathered here, the heat source emitted was enough to alarm many monsters. Although most of them had used items to conceal their auras, it was hard to say if they could hide it from the perception of the abyssal-level monsters.

Hoolani’s worries came true very quickly. In less than three minutes after the main group changed their direction to go to the Ice Lake, the vanguard team exploded with an angry roar. It was deafening even though they were more than ten miles away, dudian and others felt that the ground was shaking because of the sound wave. The surrounding trees and weeds were slightly tilted. Even the small puddles on the roadside rippled.

Dudian’s eyes flashed with golden light. He looked at the ruins in front of him. He saw a giant monster that looked like a rock. It was almost twenty meters tall and looked like a human, it was a giant that was piled up with rocks.

“A quartz monster!”Monica whispered.

Hoolani and Barker’s faces changed as they looked at each other. Hoolani immediately made a decision: “Kill it as soon as possible!”

“What level is this?”Dudian frowned.

“Three hundred and twenty-six.”Barker whispered a number. His breathing was heavy.
