After going over the follow-up plan, Li Rao quickened his pace to keep up with Mu Nujiao.
When Li Rao stepped forward, a blue butterfly flew away from Mu Nujiao's body and landed on his shoulder.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the team paid no attention.
After these two days, everyone has already become accustomed to the existence of the deadly butterfly.
After knowing that it was Li Rao's contracted beast, apart from being a little scared at first, he had no other emotions.
Li Rao, who had just come to Mu Nujiao, heard her whisper in a voice that was audible to both of them: "Have you discovered anything?"
Li Rao didn't answer, just shook his head.
He knew why Mu Nujiao asked this, because in the past two days, he had been walking in front to help explore the way.
It was indeed unusual to slow down just now.
After a group of people walked some distance to the edge of the city, they needed to place the first surveyor.
While it is still early, no one is in a hurry to find a place to stay.
"Okay, let's start the detection here." Song Xia looked at the map, stopped and said to everyone.
"Okay, let's hurry up. After the exploration of this point, we need to find a suitable place to settle down, as for our follow-up actions." Qing Qing from Imperial Capital Academy also spoke on behalf of another group of students.
As the surveyor was placed, circles of invisible sound waves spread in all directions.
Some demons who didn't like this sound wave were gradually attracted.
But there are only two or three kittens.
During the past two days, the group of people had hardly made any moves and were in a very good state.
In particular, Liao Mingxuan, Luo Song, and Shen Mingxiao worked very hard to perform in front of girls.
Li Rao didn't intervene. Anyway, no warrior-level demon appeared.
There won't be any casualties.
"This city is so big, how long do we have to survey it?"
"In my opinion, this city is just like that. We have been here for two days, and we have seen less than thirty slave-level monsters. Why don't we spread out to survey, speed up, and leave as soon as possible."
"No, the area we are surveying is close to the city. It is normal that there are not many monsters."
"Yes, if we are scattered and surrounded by warrior-level monsters, we will be easily destroyed by the group."
There was a sound of fighting, and the few slave-level demons that were attracted were eliminated, and everyone was still able to chat about the next plan.
However, it was ultimately rejected due to safety concerns.
...
Three hours passed quickly. After collecting the detection data, Shen Mingxiao suggested to everyone: "Let's find a place with a wide viewing angle, where we can advance and retreat, and where we can set up camp safely!"
This proposal is supported by everyone.
Mo Fan also said at this time: "I think that place is good."
After speaking, he pointed the direction with his hand.
Everyone followed the direction of Mo Fan's finger and found that it was a building that was still in relatively good condition since the disaster.
"That's the municipal building in Jinlin."
Li Rao's eyes lit up when he saw Mo Fan's move, knowing that Mo Fan's opportunity to leave the team had come.
He remembered that Mo Fan was the team that left at this branch.
There is a very powerful warrior-level plant demon living inside.
His strength is almost the same as that of Xiaobai, and he is stuck at the peak of a warrior.
In a real fight, Xiaobai might not be its opponent.
This is not to look down on Xiaobai, but with the same strength, plant-type monsters can steadily suppress other types of monsters when fighting.
Not to mention, it's the kind of situation where you directly invade someone else's territory.
...
"Ouch~~"
"Boom~~~"
After walking two blocks, Li Rao could clearly hear the sound of fighting coming from the upper left direction.
It's not a simple battle between slave-level monsters, but a battle between two general-level monsters.
"We have to be careful next. The detection point just now was just a small test, and it will become more and more dangerous in the future." Mu Nujiao also heard the noise in the distance and reminded everyone to be careful.
She didn't think that the task of detecting the deserted city would be so simple.
"This is a place that needs to be surveyed, but these plants don't seem to be extending in the direction of sunlight."
All the way to the municipal building, Qingqing found that the plants here were growing abnormally.
Mu Nujiao also frowned at this time. As a botany major, she also saw that this place was unusual and asked Li Rao, "Li Rao, what do you think this is?"
"It's very simple. If this building can be preserved so completely, there must be powerful demons living in it.
In addition, these plants are growing inside, so they may be rare plant monsters. "
Li Rao concluded based on what he saw at the scene.
Li Rao's popularity in the team is still good. Except for those who have been defeated by him head-on, they still have a good impression of him.
"What Li Rao said makes sense. Should we find another place to camp?" Bai Tingting said worriedly.
"If we give up, it will be difficult for us to find such a suitable place to camp again."
Mo Fan disagreed with Bai Tingting's view. He felt that even if there were powerful demons, their strength could only be limited to warriors. With him and Li Rao here, these worries were unnecessary.
"In that case, let's leave one or two people outside, and the others will go in to explore together." Lu Zhenghe said to everyone.
"That's fine. The people who stay outside must be strong so that they can easily support us." Li Rao also interjected.
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Mo Fan and gave him a wink.
He wished that everyone would be stubborn so that Mo Fan could have a chance to break away from the team.
"I'll stay"
Mo Fan received Li Rao's look and thought he was worried that others were not strong enough, so he took the initiative to speak.
"Okay, Bai Tingting, you can stay too."
Seeing that no one took the initiative to speak for a long time, Li Rao called Bai Tingting's name.
No one said anything about Li Rao's words.
After all, it would definitely not be appropriate to bring the team's wet nurse with him even though he knew there was danger inside.
...
Inside the city hall filled with plants.
Li Rao summoned Xiaobai and said, "Lu Zhenghe, my summoned beast is relatively strong, let it go in front."
"Okay, I'll cut off my Ghostly Pattern Violent Wolf at the back." Lu Zhenghe said without refusing.
After so many years, the elevator must no longer be usable.
In addition to the power outage, the entire elevator shaft is occupied by plants. Even if there is a power supply, it is easy to get stuck.
The safety stairs were relatively narrow, and Xiaobai, who was exploring the way ahead, had to reduce his size again.
Just when Li Rao was about to follow Xiaobai up to the second floor, Liao Mingxuan noticed something was going on and said in confusion: "There seem to be a few travel bags there, and they seem to have been abandoned."
"Isn't this normal? Without these travel bags, how can we prove that someone has come to investigate?" Luo Song said casually behind him.
"It's not that it was abandoned. It's possible that it was killed or it was too late to take it away."
After hearing Li Rao's reminder, Mu Nujiao stepped forward to open the travel bag and found that there was a lot of leftover food inside. She looked at the production date and rejected Luo Song's statement.
After Mu Nujiao said this, everyone saw the contents of the backpack and began to be more vigilant.
As a path explorer, Xiaobai did not stop his exploration because of Liao Mingxuan's words.
When he came to the second floor, his sense of smell was very sensitive and he found that there was something wrong with the growth of plants in some places.
When he opened it, he saw that it was a corpse covered by plants, and it was still very fresh. He immediately used the contract link to inform Li Rao of the situation.
Li Rao received the news and said to everyone: "My summoned beast found a fresh corpse on the second floor."
After Gu Lu told everyone the news, he quickly ran up to the second floor.
"What?"
As soon as Li Rao's news came out, everyone was shocked and quickly connected the magic in their hands.
It is convenient to deal with sudden attacks of monsters at any time.
"Ouch~~~"
"The plants behind us are moving and trying to trap us in this building."
Lu Zhenghe, who was behind, noticed the movement behind him and spoke loudly to remind his teammates.
When Lu Zhenghe opened his mouth to remind everyone, the original entrance to the first floor was completely blocked.
"Ice rope--ice formation!"
At this moment, Mu Ningxue, who was in the penultimate position, discovered the movement of the plants and began to link the intermediate and third-level ice magic.
Several large ice ropes began to entangle the plants blocking the road.
The entangled plants were quickly frozen.
"Fierce fists blast the sky one by one!"
Seeing that the plants were frozen, Song Xia linked up the star map and cleared out the plants blocking the way.
"Let's go out first."
After the plants blocking the road were cleared, Lu Zhenghe ordered his ghost pattern wolf to clear the way in front of him and started running away.
He didn't want his life to be in danger.
Lu Zhenghe left so simply, to a certain extent, he abandoned Li Rao.
Luo Song and Shen Ming smiled and saw that Lu Zhenghe was taking the lead and ran out without taking any notice.
"Li Rao is still on the second floor."
Mu Nujiao has been paying attention to Li Rao's movements and knows that he is still on the second floor, so she informs everyone.
The remaining people originally planned to run with Lu Zhenghe and others, but after hearing Mu Nujiao's words, they remembered that Li Rao had gone to the second floor to explore the way first.
After Mu Nujiao informed everyone, she ran towards the stairs leading to the second floor without waiting for a reply.
"Go up and tell Li Rao, we will guard the exit."
Ming Cong didn't want to take risks and reveal his bottom line because of a stranger.
Mu Ningxue, Song Xia, Zheng Bingxiao and others also planned to follow Mu Nujiao's footsteps, but they were blocked by vines. They had no choice but to save the exit for Li Rao and Mu Nujiao not far from the exit.
The Pseudo Horror clearly knew that he could not stop everyone now and only planned to keep Li Rao and Mu Nujiao here.
Mo Fan, who was planning to respond outside, also noticed the movement and came over to support.
After learning that Li Rao was still inside, he used intermediate fire magic with spiritual fire to blast towards the roots of the pseudo-terrible demon, regardless of the consumption of magic energy.
He didn't even care whether the pseudo-horrible demon would be angry or not.
...
Second floor.
"Ooo~~"
Xiaobai and Li Rao were also attacked by the roots of the pseudo-horror demon.
Li Rao, who didn't like to suffer losses, immediately activated his light magic-slaying tool with a thought, and a Mo Dao appeared in his hand.
"drink!"
Mo Dao appeared, injected with magic energy, shouted loudly, and cut off all the plants blocking Xiao Bai's front with a huge light slash.
"Bang~"
Li Rao's magic-slaying tool is of a very high level, and in the hands of a mid-level mage, it can be activated to its fullest potential.
The blade pushed forward all the way until it hit the corridor joint and cut a deep mark into the wall before finally stopping.
Mu Nujiao, who had just run up to the second floor, happened to see the scene where the magic-slaying tool was triggered.
He originally planned to let Li Rao escape from the building immediately, but it was stuck in his throat.
After launching this attack, Li Rao turned around. He had also heard footsteps coming from the stairs just now, and was curious about who was going upstairs at this time.
When he found out it was Mu Nujiao, he was a little surprised and said, "You didn't leave with them?"
In his opinion, there were so many mid-level mages on the first floor alone that they would not be able to escape even the attacks of the pseudo-terror demons.
"I came here to ask you to leave together."
Mu Nujiao saw that she would not be attacked by the roots of the pseudo-terrible demon in a short time, but she still did not dare to be careless and said hurriedly.
"It's okay, it's just a warrior-level pseudo-terrible demon. I plan to kill it."
Li Rao held the Mo Dao in his hand and said excitedly.
After saying that, he waved the demon-slaying tool in his hand.
Li Rao's words made Mu Nujiao feel dumbfounded.
Others are eager to leave this horrible place as soon as possible.
Li Rao, on the other hand, didn't want to leave, but wanted to solve the horror.
"The Pseudo-Terror is afraid of light magic. Take this shield and leave the building quickly."
Li Rao was not going to let Mu Nujiao take risks with him, so he gave her a light-attribute shield magic tool.
Mu Nujiao subconsciously took what Li Rao handed over. When she came to her senses, she realized that it was an umbrella-shaped shield magic tool.
Seeing Li Rao handing him something, he took Xiaobai to the stairs on the third floor.
He gritted his teeth and followed.
...
Third floor, fourth floor, fifth floor...
After fighting all the way up to the ninth floor, Li Rao could clearly see the true form of the pseudo-terrible demon. It was a tree stump-like thing, with a large black mouth open and smacking. Countless vines kept wrapping the stump.
The pseudo-terrible demon has been waiting here for a long time. Xiaobai can deal with the few roots on the way without using the magic slaying tool.
After seeing the pseudo-terrible demon's true form clearly, Li Rao immediately waved the Mo Dao in his hand, and a blazing light slash hit its head hard.
"Stab it~~"
Countless vines fell to the ground densely and were chopped off by Li Rao's magic weapon.
"Shuashuashua~~~"
Seeing that a large number of the pseudo-terrible demon's vines were cut off, Xiaobai ran quickly, planning to attack closely.
Seeing Xiao Bai running towards it, the Pseudo-Terror Demon mobilized the remaining tendrils to wrap around Xiao Bai, regardless of the pain on his body.
The moment Xiao Bai's body was restrained, more vines wrapped around it.
Seeing that Xiaobai was restrained, Li Rao did not rush to rescue him, but continued to wave the weapon in his hand to attack the pseudo-horrible demon.
"Creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak, creak"
Xiaobai did not disappoint Li Rao. When his body was restrained, he used his ice magic skills to freeze the vines wrapped around it, making it lose its toughness.
The entire ball made of rattan whiskers was frozen into an ice ball.
"Bounce~~~~~~~~~"
With a loud bang, Xiaobai successfully escaped.
The freed Xiaobai grew larger in an instant and returned to his original height that matched his strength.
With a length of fifteen meters, it cracked the wall on this floor, forcing Li Rao to activate another shield and protect Mu Nujiao in his arms.
The pseudo-horrible demon, who had been seriously injured by Li Rao's demon-slaying tool, had a piece of his head bitten off by Xiaobai.
"Bah~~~"
Spitting out the sawdust in his mouth, Xiaobai opened his mouth again and attacked the pseudo-horrible demon's head.
After two or three times, the pseudo-horror died with an unwilling scream.
