Su Bai, who was about to walk out, stopped.
He touched his chin and stared at the darkened screen without speaking for a long time.
"It's hard to handle..."
Zhu Jianyuan's words reminded Su Bai.
No matter what is happening over there now, it is not a trivial matter.
After the arrival of the elves, the death energy in the entire arrival range has been driven away.
It is impossible for the dead beast to break through so many elves and reach the hinterland around Haicheng.
If you think about it casually, you will know that there is only one answer to this kind of thing.
That is the sub-beast!
High-level sub-beasts can disguise themselves as humans, cover up the death energy well, and then burst out when needed.
This kind of large-scale death energy that can completely cut off communication cannot be released by ordinary sub-beasts.
In other words, the sub-beast that appears now is very likely to be a high-level sub-beast of Ma Lin's level!
If an enemy of this level appears in Haicheng...
Su Bai glanced at the turbulent and tense Elf Center.
Although the Elf Center is invincible, Haicheng is not.
If a sub-beast came to steal his home while he was away from Haicheng... it would be great fun!
"what to do……"
Just when Su Bai was hesitant, the black screen suddenly made a rustling sound.
Rotom suddenly stuck his head out and shouted excitedly.
"Lotolotto!"
Immediately afterwards, the serious faces of Pei Jingguo and Xiao Zhang appeared on the screen!
Communication is restored!
Su Bai quickly walked to the counter, picked up the communicator and asked: "Pei Jingguo, Xiao Zhang, what happened? The communication was cut off just now!"
Pei Jingguo was crouching on the ground at this time. When he heard the sound of the ball, he quickly said: "Is it back to normal?"
"That's it... there was a burst of deathly energy flying over our heads just now."
"And then there's this..."
Pei Jingguo picked up the ball and pointed it at the densely packed ice on the ground.
"As the death energy passed by, a lot of this kind of broken ice suddenly fell from the sky."
He picked up one of the pieces of broken ice and said in a serious tone: "This thing...isn't right..."
"really……"
Su Bai's tone was also not good.
The technology in the Paradise Era is indeed powerful, and there is no such thing as pixels.
Under Rotom's control, a close-up of the broken ice appeared on the screen.
In the hard crushed ice, a drop of purple-black liquid was slowly squirming.
Wisps of deathly energy emerged from this drop of liquid, running rampant among the broken ice like living creatures.
However, the broken ice still firmly imprisoned these dead energy!
"I probably know what happened..."
Su Bai let out a sigh of relief.
These liquids, if he guessed correctly, should be the blood of high-level sub-beasts.
And the strength of this sub-beast is probably even more terrifying than Ma Lin!
After all, Ma Lin couldn't do it to the extent that every drop of blood could exude such quality of death energy.
After fighting once, Su Bai understood the sub-beasts better and better.
Compared with the death beast which expands its body without restraint, the sub-beast compresses the direction of the power of death!
The better the dead air is compressed, the higher the quality.
Quality like this can no longer be explained by simple high-level sub-beasts!
"What do you know? Professor Su, tell me!"
Seeing that Su Bai fell into silence after saying a word, Xiao Zhang became anxious.
After experiencing the elf world once, who would want to return to that hazy environment surrounded by death?
He doesn't want anything to happen!
As a person who regards respecting teachers as his most basic principle, his tone could have made his previous self slap him twice.
This also shows how anxious this guy is!
"It's all just speculation..."
Su Bai looked inside the Elf Center and saw the Haicheng people staring at him eagerly.
Then he looked at Zhu Jianyuan who was shaking his head slowly, sighed and asked: "Pei Jingguo, do you see which direction the death energy went?"
Now, he kind of understands why he keeps these things from the public.
The seed of hope that was finally ignited must be carefully cared for before it can really burn brightly...
Pei Jingguo glared at Xiao Zhang who was still talking, picked up the ball and said: "After the death energy left this area, it suddenly disappeared without any specific direction."
"There is no specific direction..."
Su Bai pressed his frown between his eyebrows.
If he were heading towards Haicheng, he wouldn't have such a headache. He only needed to sit on the fire-breathing dragon and follow the traces of death energy to easily find the guy who caused the commotion.
With Zeraora, Meloetta and other full-level fantasy elves in hand, and with the full lineup, he didn't feel like he would lose.
Having no direction...makes it even more troublesome.
This means the enemy is hiding in the dark!
Ma Lin's death... seems to be a wake-up call for these guys...
Based on the clues he had now, Su Bai probably described what happened in his mind.
Ma Lin's status in Yazhu is very likely to be high. Her death should have attracted the attention of Yazhu's senior officials.
Just as the elves are coming, it is normal for the sub-beasts to come to inquire about the situation.
And this high-level sub-beast somehow reached the top of the mountain, but was beaten back by a powerful elf.
Su Bai is very clear about the strength of high-level sub-beasts.
Even ordinary elves in their final evolved form, to be honest, are not much of an obstacle in front of this sub-beast.
Therefore, the elf that can defeat this sub-beast must not be an ordinary elf.
Judging from the current performance, it is already clear which elf lives on the top of this mountain.
Just when that beautiful figure appeared in Su Bai's mind.
The system that had been unresponsive suddenly made a sound.
[Special mission: appease the frozen bird. 】
[Frozen Bird is extremely angry and losing his mind due to the intrusion of death energy. This elf is the God of Ice among the elves in Kanto area. 】
[The ice god's turmoil is affecting the emotions of other elves, and is unintentionally destroying the elven environment. 】
[Please send a trainer immediately to resolve this matter. 】
[Note: The fledgling will eventually grow into an eagle. The host cannot take action directly. Once it takes action, it will be regarded as a mission failure. 】
[Task success reward: participating trainers will receive a large number of exploration points]
[Punishment for mission failure: The elf area is reduced to half of its original size. 】
"……Oh shit!"
Su Bai's hand froze in mid-air.
He was still thinking just now about whether to spread out his power, leave a few elves to protect Haicheng, and go out to solve the matter himself.
In the blink of an eye, the system's mission came!
And compared with the conditions that have always been very generous, this mission even comes with a mission penalty!
The punishment of reducing the elf area by half... is not a heavy punishment!
It seems that the system attaches great importance to the cultivation of trainers.
This mission doesn't seem to be given to him as a host.
It seems to be for those trainers!
