Beast Control: Starting from raising silkworms and becoming the King of Insects.

Chapter 128
Following the scent of the priests of the Shadow Order, they found the gathering place of the Fire Thieves. Turandot's expressionless face showed a little joy.

She found a hillside that was relatively secluded and higher than the Fire Pirates camp. While observing the conditions of the camp and the swamp, she ordered the three dragon snakes to enter a dormant state.

This is the special ability of reptile pets and other pets with hibernating habits.

In the dormant state, the pet beast's own energy fluctuations and life breath are reduced to a state close to that of an inanimate body, which can hide its whereabouts very well.

In this way, Turandot does not have to take the three dragon snakes back into the beast control space to avoid detection, and can also avoid the energy fluctuation caused by the re-summoning being noticed by the fire group.

As a very useful hidden skill, the dormant ability has no side effects, but it takes a certain amount of time to regain the ability to move.

As for Turandot and Russell themselves, there is no need to worry about being detected.

The energy in the human body is many times less than that of pet beasts. Even a seventh-level beast master will not emit stronger energy fluctuations than a third- or fourth-level pet beast.

Not to mention Russell, who only has level three strength. From the perspective of energy detection, there is no difference between him and a weak bronze and silver level low-level pet beast.

As long as they take care of their odor and don't reveal their whereabouts, the probability of the two of them being discovered by detection equipment and skills is very small.

At Turandot's repeated request, Russell pinched his nose to attract a group of black cloud flies to stop nearby. The smell on them should be enough to cover up the smell of two humans in the snow.

When the three dragon snakes slowly entered a quiet sleep, Turandot took his backpack and started working around.

In addition to taking photos and collecting samples of plants, water drops and soil around her, she also took out a strange black metal box from her bag and carefully buried it in a hidden location.

In order to avoid communication signals being stolen and captured by the fire ball, Turandot and Russell both turned off their communication equipment in advance and were unable to share their locations directly with the alliance headquarters.

Therefore, Russell guessed that it should be some kind of device that facilitates the remote positioning of the Beast Control Alliance.

…………

Looking at Turandot's busy figure, nearly half an hour passed.

"...can we go back?"

Seeing that the sky was getting brighter and brighter, Russell, who was worried that his whereabouts would be exposed, asked again.

"Wait a little longer and see what they're doing."

However, Turandot once again rejected his request, and instead lay down in a patch of grass, using binoculars to observe the members of the Fire Stealing Group who were coming out of the wooden house and surrounding tents one after another.

"..."

Russell had no choice but to lie down in the grass with her.

There are already many fifth-level or even sixth-level wild beasts in this area. He can't move without Turandot and the three dragon snakes.

However, Turandot's insistence on delaying the evacuation is not completely unreasonable.

As a legendary beast master with rich experience in wild survival, even if she hated the Fire Thieves, she would never be so crazy as to find an opportunity to kill them all by herself.

Anyone who thinks about it for a moment can imagine that a camp can be established in an area frequently frequented by fifth- and sixth-level wild beasts. The number of high-level members of the Fire Stealing Group stationed here may not be as simple as two or three.

Fortunately, Turandot's goal was just to see what they would do every day.

After all, even if the Fire Thieves don't take their pet beasts seriously, they still treat the members of the organization quite harshly. They basically still need to rest at night.

If you want to figure out what the Fire Thieves are doing when they gather next to this swamp, you have to at least observe their actions after getting up in the morning.

As the sun gradually rose, more and more members of the Fire Thieves appeared in their sight.Russell made a rough count, and even excluding the low-level members who were carrying materials in the distance and preparing for logistics work, there were about 20 people gathered at the edge of the swamp.

Some of these people commanded their pet beasts to recharge the energy synchronization device, some stood on the shore and poured various solutions and materials into the swamp, and some even walked directly into the swamp and used some strange instruments to stir up the turbidity. of muddy water.

There were several men in black robes standing quietly in front of the swamp, as if waiting for something.

Under the operation of the members of the Fire Stealing Group, the swamp rolled, and a gray-yellow energy vortex soon rose.

call--!
Sa-!
So much energy, so comfortable!
When the gray-yellow energy vortex appeared, both Russell, who was lying in the grass and sleeping, and Ayou and Daodao Mantis, who were resting in his beast-controlling space, all felt the huge insect-type energy contained in it.

However, the energy in the vortex was pulled by something and could not pour out. It only spread slowly outwards, turning into a large white mist, and finally condensed into dew again.

Needless to say, the dew condensed by these mist is the black dew that spreads all over the forest!
Moreover, from such a close position, Russell even felt the existence of insect energy directly from these black dews.

This means that the Beast Control Alliance's detection of Black Dew is not biased, and this energy source does contain a large amount of insect energy.

Just as Russell was surprised, two members of the Fire Thief Group wearing black robes suddenly walked out of the crowd and tried to walk towards the gray-yellow energy vortex.

"That seems to be a space rift..."

Seeing this scene, Turandot adjusted the angle of the telescope, and sure enough, he saw a gap that appeared and disappeared in the center of the vortex.

Behind the gap, there are no dense plants and morning sunlight, only some gray stone walls, which look very cold, like another space.

Realizing that he might have just happened to bump into the scene where the members of the Fire Thieves opened the secret realm, Turandot's eyes widened and he watched their every move without blinking.

However, the two members of the Fire Stealing Group, who were at least mid-level beast masters, failed to enter the energy vortex smoothly.

They were greatly hindered as they approached the whirlpool. The gray-yellow energy was like thick syrup, enveloping the two of them. Their pace became slower and slower until they could no longer move.

After a moment, the energy shook violently and threw them out.

"Is it a trial-type secret realm?"

Seeing this, a word that may be unfamiliar to the general public came to Russell's mind.

The world of beast control is vast and there are many types of secret realms.

Among them, the secret realms that only specific people are allowed to enter are called trial secret realms.

Judging from the ease with which these members of the Fire Stealing Group can open the door to the secret realm, as well as the fact that black dew has been gathering in the forest for hundreds of years, the state of this secret realm is very stable, and the reason for the inability to enter is definitely not due to spatial disorder.

Combined with the phenomenon that the members of the Fire Stealing Group were rejected by the secret realm, but were not injured, but were just thrown away, this secret realm is most likely a trial secret realm.

However, the Fire Stealing Group has obviously not yet figured out what conditions must be met to enter the secret realm.

After exploring so much information, Turandot finally showed a satisfied expression.

When the members of the stolen fire group focused all their attention on the gate of the secret realm, she quietly ordered the three dragon snakes to release their dormant state, and carried the two of them slowly away from the area controlled by the stolen fire group.

And Turandot's contrarian behavior seems to really work.

When they returned, Russell and she also met one or two groups of members of the Fire Thieves, but those people had just experienced a whole night of searching to no avail, and were now hurried back uneasy and exhausted, not paying attention to the target they were looking for. Not far away.

Most of a day later, the two finally returned to the Senluo City area without any danger.
