Being competitive is not just a human trait.

It is also not the characteristic of monsters.

The same is true for strange beasts.

The bloodline of the high and mighty divine beast also contains hostility and jealousy towards other beasts of the same kind in its bones.

As the saying goes, there can't be two tigers in one mountain. Some years ago, someone from the Investigation Bureau discovered this feature and its principle.

The strange beasts will not appear in one place at the same time.

The pride in their bones does not allow them to share territory with others.

Therefore, some investigators from the Investigation Bureau at that time discovered, based on the clues left by their ancestors, that the strange beasts never appeared within a hundred kilometers.

Similarly, the Investigation Bureau later proved through various phenomena that when strange beasts gathered together in the same area, conflicts would arise.

Each beast was extremely proud of its existence, producing endless violent states and overwhelming anger towards the other party. They could show how much they valued their territory.

The Investigation Bureau placed the spirits of several strange beasts together in a turnover bottle that could isolate everything.

What happened was that the strange beasts, having lost any original will, without any subjective consciousness, still chose to confront and fight each other.

Please note that they are completely following their own instincts without any subjective consciousness.

From the moment they were born in heaven and earth, they have had resistance to each other buried deep in their bones.

This will not change with their subjective consciousness.

"Liu Feng is obviously in the same situation now.

The strange beast in Mount Lu must have exerted its own power on him. This power was not a mechanical ability, but an individual power that was still a strange beast and integrated into his body.

So when we apply the mechanism we obtained from the alien beast to him, the alien beast power in his body can be easily detected."

“You know, the mechanism ability is not like that of exotic beasts. Only when it is used and released on other exotic beasts will the situation of "two tigers cannot live in the same mountain" appear.

So when our mechanism ability was applied to Liu Feng, the power of the alien beast in his body, due to its instinctive state, sought the source of the invasion of his power and attempted to eliminate it. "

"To put it simply, Liu Feng's body has become the alien beast's territory, and it believes that the mechanism abilities released on him, that is, us, are other alien beast enemies trying to compete with it for territory!"

Finally, Bai Lu made his own guess:
“I just don’t know whether this strange beast is the Fat Thief. According to ancient legends and local chronicles, the Fat Thief doesn’t seem to have any special abilities.

It simply records the incident of it greedily eating the heather flowers in the Lushan Mountain..."

Now, the whole incident has become clearer and clearer. With the help of Zhang Chaoqiang, Liu Feng's body is much calmer at this moment compared to before.

Zhang Chaoqiang's [Burning Eyes] made him feel his own anger, thus reducing Liu Feng's violence a little. Similarly, under Bai Lu's healing, Liu Feng's previous abnormal state was also recovered by half.

It was difficult to find the best way to tie up the opponent's hands and feet. Liu Feng, who had been acting as a guide, had lost his mind at this time. The look in his eyes when he looked at Zhang Chaoqiang and Huang Fengbai Lu continued to be ferocious and terrifying.

Countless thoughts of wanting to tear it to pieces kept bursting into his mind.

It's a pity that Bai Lu's healing is time-limited, otherwise if he were to use it continuously, he would be able to recover as close to normal as possible.

The only clue was lost, and the few people no longer expected to find the way back to where Liu Feng came from.

Just continue to adjust the strategy.

Now, at least it has been confirmed that Liu Feng and the other people who had come here before all possessed the power exerted by the strange beasts.

That force is the source of the desire to steal.

And drove them here.

"Comrade Zhang Chaoqiang, what do you think about this?"

After a heated argument, it was obvious that everyone in the team had different ideas, but the most important thing depended on the decisions of Huang Feng and Bai Lu.

But who would have thought that the two of them also had conflicts of opinion.

Zhang Chaoqiang was asked by Huang Feng and Bai Lu, and he said casually:
"How long has it been since the story of the ancient thief who stole the fat from the heather flower?"

"About three thousand years ago."

"So when did the heather flower lose its trace of growing on Mount Lu? How long has it been since it completely disappeared from this mountain range?"

"Probably about two or three thousand years ago..."

Zhang Chaoqiang asked again: "Besides that, has the figure of the fat thief never appeared again in history, local chronicles, or any legends?"

"No, I'm sure."

"So when did Mount Lao completely fail to detect any life energy?"

"last month."

After a brief thought, Zhang Chaoqiang made a bold hypothesis and then carefully verified it.

He put forward his own extremely bold hypothesis and analysis: "Uncles, do you think it is possible that the ability to steal fat is exactly stealing?"

Bai Lu and Huang Feng were discussing what to do next. They asked Zhang Chaoqiang for analysis because they wanted to see what Zhang Chaoqiang would do next.

But no one thought that Zhang Chaoqiang was not thinking about how to make Liu Feng return to normal, nor was he proposing how to find out the fat stealer.

It turns out to be the ability to guess at fat stealing?

The so-called packaging pictures are for reference only. In most cases, the mechanical abilities that people obtain from exotic beasts are sometimes different from the original abilities of the exotic beasts.

Whether it is in the big picture or in the small details, this possibility exists.

It also represents a strange beast, whose abilities are often complex and diverse, and there are even methods of realization that have not been discovered by humans and have not been developed by strange beasts.

Regarding the conjecture about fat-stealing ability, Zhang Chaoqiang put forward his own analysis.

"Based on what we have seen so far, the connection with fat stealing seems to be closely related to the word stealing.

First, it’s a legend.”

"The legend is well known. It is about a fiery red bird-beast that appeared in Mount Yao in ancient times. Its name was Qianzhi. At that time, Mount Yao was covered with heather spiritual flowers, which were spiritual plants that could cover up the body odor and life energy fluctuations of humans or monsters."

"The heather spiritual flower was discovered by the people living on Mount Lu at that time, and they continued to plant it. They claimed this spiritual plant as their own and it became their secret weapon for catching prey in their territory."

"Then, in this state, Qianzhi came here and swept away all the heather spiritual flowers in Mount Lu.

In the eyes of the aborigines, this fiery red beast does not seem to be upright at all, and its behavior is not as beautiful as its appearance. "

The indigenous people in Mount Lu at that time defined this behavior as theft.

Many years passed, and although the sound of fat stealing had disappeared, the spiritual heather flowers on Mount Laoshan were also at a loss, and never appeared on Mount Laoshan again.

Until recently, at the same time as the smell of the sacred heather flower filled the Lushan Mountain, people who entered the Lushan Mountain inexplicably had the desire to steal.

This is the second clue.

Therefore, the ability to steal fat is obviously closely related to stealing.

Its previous capabilities were closely related to it.

Then, in front of a group of investigators who were listening quietly to Zhang Chaoqiang's analysis, he continued his analysis.

"If you have the ability, you have the feedback. According to our hypothesis, the ability to steal fat has conditions that are closely related to stealing...

Then this condition must be beneficial to it. Combined with the legend, I think it is very likely that the traces of the heather flower completely disappeared on Mount Lu until the past month...

The fat is most likely being digested.”

"Digest?" If the previous analysis was well-organized and logically coherent, then everything that followed was basically Zhang Chaoqiang's imagination.

Huang Feng and Bai Lu were also very curious about what Zhang Chaoqiang thought of the specific abilities of the fat stealer.

“The so-called digestion is most likely to be able to gain the power of the stolen food or anything after stealing it by relying on one’s own abilities and characteristics!

It's like the scent of the heather flower is covering the area. Since there is no trace of the heather flower along the way, I think the possibility that the heather flower is planted inside the mountain, as you investigators guessed before, is very low."

"So I guess that there is no heather flower in Mount Lu. The source of the shielding detection effect is the thief fat that stole the ability of the heather flower!"

With a clang, a new possibility seemed to emerge in the minds of the investigators, the possibility analyzed by Zhang Chaoqiang.

Although the idea is bold, we have to admit that this is entirely possible, and logically, it makes perfect sense why the scent of heather flowers, which is enough to shield the detection device, would appear out of nowhere.

Is it fat stealing that’s at work?

if it is like this……

Bai Lu and Huang Feng also fell into deep thought.

If this is the conclusion, then the abnormal conditions of those who entered Mount Laoshan next can be completely explained.

In Mount Lu, there are only some ordinary wild animals and weeds. It can be said that there is nothing here except the decent scenery.

Even the spiritual energy has become so thin in Mount Lu.

And if the fat thief is really as useless as Zhang Chaoqiang guessed, it would take thousands of years for him to digest and successfully steal the properties of the heather flower.

Then it would probably need a lot of resources to replenish itself, just like a warrior who had just finished training.

Therefore, the humans who entered Mount Lu became his tools to communicate with the outside world. The desire to steal imposed on them made them puppets to steal resources from the outside world.

Bai Lu walked back and forth, and he analyzed: "Most of these stolen resources are crystal cores, which are exactly the key to replenishing spiritual power.

And if Zhang Chaoqiang's guess is true...

I'm afraid this thing can also digest the characteristics and powers of other monsters from the monster's crystal core?"

"Isn't this the same principle as when we absorb the crystal cores of monsters and then derive martial arts?" One of the investigators discovered the possible similarities between the fat thieves and them.

"Based on what Zhang Chaoqiang has guessed, this is indeed the case."

At that time, some investigators also discovered a more obvious problem, that is, if the fat thief has completely possessed the property of the heather flower to shield energy fluctuations.

So why doesn't it just go away and find its own resources?
Even if the mythical beasts from ancient times that have survived to this day are not very powerful, at worst they should not be unable to move... after all, they still have the strength to exert power on others.

Zhang Chaoqiang had also thought about this.

"It is very likely that this power seems to have some shackles, for example, why it takes two or three thousand years for the fat thief to reach this state of complete digestion.

And why don't the fat-stealing beasts leave here? It is obvious that changing location will be more advantageous for these cunning beasts, and avoiding humans is what most of them will do.

So it is possible that it cannot leave here for the time being! Anyway, no matter what, it can be guaranteed that the thief must be in this mountain..."

While the analysis is in progress, the investigators have already started packing up their equipment. They also did not forget to praise Jiaqiang's parents for being so lucky to have such a son.

Although Zhang Chaoqiang had a rough outline and thoughts about the entire state of fat stealing and the underlying appearance.

But at present, Liu Feng is in a confused state where he has lost himself, and he can only search bit by bit based on his smell.

To continue searching based on Liu Feng's scent, they would have to use [Diffusion] on Liu Feng to explore in Mount Lue, which was shrouded in the power of the heather flower.

First of all, the efficiency will be greatly reduced. Secondly, the mechanism abilities used on Liu Feng will make the violent state in his body more obvious and intense.

In this case, Liu Feng's body recovery speed will be slower than usual.

However, the current situation is not enough for them to think so much, because this is the only way to explore.

The last time Liu Feng entered Mount Lao, he had clearly come into contact with the alien beast, the Fat Stealer. He needed to follow its path in order to survive in Mount Lao, which was filled with the power of the heather spiritual flowers...

Find clues of the strange beast.

As they continued to explore the mountain, the investigators lamented that the power of the heather flower was simply too incredible.

Under the current technological situation, there seems to be no way to crack it. Without the support of detection equipment, they are like being in a fog in Mount Lu.

"This is not a solution..."

Suddenly Zhang Chaoqiang had a special idea. (End of this chapter)
