Hopefully outside the city, somewhere unknown.

Fran was standing on the trunk of a tree and looking into the distance.

It has to be said that Fran, who returned outside the city wall, was like an individual who had been offline for a long time and reconnected to the host computer, showing an inexplicable excitement as a whole.

Of course, the powerful biological field of the outside world that covers every corner is also eroding Fran's mind every moment. If Lin Qingliu had not cast a spell in advance and blessed her with blood, Fran would probably have returned to her original form and turned into a mindless beast again.

Along the way, Fran was like a fish in water. Whether she was thirsty or hungry, she could get the supplements she wanted from the plants around her.

These plants did not react excessively to this, partly because the markings on Fran's body were very special and could be identified through the biofield.

On the other hand, when foraging for food, Fran always looks for plants with big trees and deep roots. Since the other party has a large family and a large business, naturally they are not short of Fran.

So the number one jungler in Hope City explored and recorded along the way, and came to a place that no human team had ever been to.

Compared to the location here, the items in front obviously made Fran more excited.

In front of her was a large flat open space surrounded by trees, and on the flat ground were one after another——

Life support cabin.

Hundreds? Thousands? Even tens of thousands? Fran was dazzled for a moment.

These life support capsules are half buried in the soil, with the front side with observation windows facing upwards.

Every observation window had been destroyed, and white threads were sticking out from the round windows.

These threads gradually gathered together and became thicker, entwining and weaving each other, and finally sank into the ground, with no one knowing where they led to.

While Fran was excited, she also instinctively felt a hint of fear.

She felt that this discovery was very important, even more important than the rocket and life support capsule that had mysteriously disappeared before.

She instinctively wanted to get closer, or even go deeper to find out what was going on, but the instincts forced upon her by the outside world were resisting this decision.

Fran can move freely outside the City of Hope, provided that she does not take the initiative to provoke or trigger anything that goes against the will of the mycelium.

Now, Fran clearly understood that if she forced her way into the open space, countless white hyphae would break out of the ground and entangle her.

In such a situation, even if Fran could summon Lin Qingliu here on the spot, she would probably have been torn into pieces by then.

After thinking carefully for a moment, Fran finally decided not to offend the will of the mycelium.

After all, I am just a pathfinder, and I only have one life and cannot give it up easily.

Just as she was descending rapidly with her claws gripping the bark, a tall figure that had not existed before appeared in front of Fran.

A chill ran down Maomao's spine.

Fran raised her head and saw a creature several dozen meters long covered with dark green scales in front of her.

Fran had seen the prototype of this creature in Enci's dream. It seemed that this thing was called... crocodile.

"snort!"

The huge crocodile beast snorted suddenly, and the gust of air it created even blew Fran away.

With just this casual attack, Fran already understood the difference in strength between the two sides.

This crocodile monster is a genuine fourth level.

There is no way such a huge body could have grown directly from the cocoon on the tree trunk. God knows how many strange beasts it must have eaten to grow to this size...

Faced with such an enemy, Fran finally chose to follow her heart's wishes.

Seeing the monster in front of it quickly bow its head and admit defeat, the crocodile monster seemed to feel a little better.

It growled at Fran, and with the instinct of the beast, Fran understood what the crocodile meant:

"Deserter, have you been caught by me? Follow me obediently. If you run again, I will kill you."

The huge crocodile didn't care whether Fran could understand the huge information contained in its roar. It turned its head and continued to crawl forward.

The crocodile's physical functions were terrifyingly strong. Its four strong legs lifted its body high up and it flew directly over Fran's head.

Watching the white scales with patterns quickly passing over her head, Fran felt a sense of joy at having survived a disaster.

It seems that she will have to wait a little longer to contact her master. After all, she doesn't know whether the tiny biofield fluctuations generated when she contacts Lin Qingliu can be sensed by the huge fourth-level beast in front.

Just when Fran was about to follow the crocodile obediently, the low growl of birds came into her ears again.

With the experience from last time, this time Fran easily deciphered the information contained in the roar:

"How dare you stand in front of me? Get behind me."

Fran raised her head and saw several huge birds folding their wings and following the giant crocodile beast obediently.

Some of these third-level bird-like beasts have bald heads, some have white hair, and some have protruding heads and white hair (two heads).

Fran has roughly understood her current situation. Just like the time when she was just born, Fran should have happened to be mixed in with a group of gestating beasts.

The good news is that by following this long group of strange beasts, we can find the way back to the City of Hope.

The bad news is that Fran has some psychological trauma towards city defense artillery and anti-aircraft machine guns.

Seeing that the giant bird's claws were about to fall, Fran quickly gave in again and ran to the back of the team.

Fran already had some guesses about the formation of this group of strange beasts.

Since the fourth-level alien beast, as the leader, is in the front, followed by some third-level bird-shaped alien beasts, then there must be a large group of insects and a large number of normal animals behind them, which are the cannon fodder from the green cocoon.

Fran thought about it and continued to walk back, and sure enough, she saw some second-level insect-like monsters that looked very delicious.

After being blessed, Fran, who has gained independent thinking, has a way of thinking and aesthetics that are obviously closer to humans. Seeing these insects that have been magnified several times in proportion, Fran subconsciously feels a little disgusted.

Continuing to move forward, Maomao finally found his own team.

They were a group of cannon fodder. Their common configuration was an x-shaped monster (x is a common mammal) with n heads, (n, 4n) legs (you can fill in the blanks in this part by yourself).

There was a cloudy red light in the eyes of these monsters. Fran seemed to be thinking of her past, and the feeling of being muddled and drifting came over her.

The three wolves in the front roared at Fran, and this time, Fran finally did not choose to give in again -

This cat is at the second level. If I can’t beat other monsters, I can’t beat you?
