Chapter 329 The Dark Forest
As soon as he walked into the Mirk Forest, Ian immediately felt the difference here.

When he was outside the dense forest, he couldn't perceive the existence of the law anyway.

But as soon as he entered here, he immediately felt a weak reaction of the law.

Even the black ball's imprint of power, which had been silent for a long time, became slightly active.

Ian quietly felt for a moment, his previous guess has been confirmed:

"The Mirkwood is indeed a special area, and the laws here have not been completely concealed!"

At this time, the deep and dark dense forest could not hide his gradually improving mood.

If there is a law response and the existence of the law can be observed, Ian can analyze the law.

By analyzing the laws of this world, you can adapt your own law runes to this world, thereby slowly recovering your strength.

But soon, he gave up trying:
"The response of the law is too weak, the information of the law that can be analyzed is too little, and the speed is too slow!

Restore a little strength first, and then go deep into the dark forest, this plan will not work! "

Thinking of this, Ian decided to go deep into the dark forest as soon as possible.

There is a weak law reaction on the periphery, and the law reaction in the depths must be stronger, which is more conducive to his recovery of strength.

"It's risky to go deep directly, but it's worth taking some risks in order to restore strength as soon as possible!" Ian quickly made up his mind.

He had just taken two steps when he suddenly found that Zhuifeng behind him had stopped.

"Are you scared?" Ian walked up to it and asked softly.

Chasing Feng pouted his hooves and shook his horse's head...

"The dark jungle is not suitable for your activities?" Ian instantly understood what Chasing Wind meant.

Under the dark and oppressive dense forest, there really isn't enough space for Chaser to move about.

When Zhuifeng heard his question, he immediately nodded spiritually.

"Okay!...You are free!" Ian thought for a while, and finally took off the harness for Chasing Wind.

After all, Ian had carried him such a long distance, and Ian didn't want to force it to follow him to die.

A horse suitable for running in the wilderness, giving up the greatest speed advantage and entering the dangerous dense forest, is really no different from courting death.

Zhuifeng rubbed his head against Ian's hand, his eyes full of reluctance.

"If you want to continue to follow me, you can move around and wait for me to come out!" Ian stroked Zhuifeng, conveying his meaning to it.

It's actually not bad to tame an excellent mount, at least before recovering to be able to fly, you don't have to travel by yourself.

"咴~咴~!" Zhuifeng neighed, and gradually walked away.

But Ian knew that Zhuifeng would definitely wait for him to come back.

Glancing at the direction where Chasing Wind disappeared, Ian changed his equipment and walked deep into the dark forest!
Affected by the power of the demon king Sauron, there are many monsters in the dark forest.

Among them, the most dangerous ones are giant spiders. The blood of these monsters is quite good.

Moreover, the strength and number are endless, even the powerful elves can only retreat three feet, giving up most of the dark forest.

Of course, the environment is also a reason. The Dark Forest, which has been influenced by Sauron's power for a long time, is not suitable for elves who are good at bows and arrows to fight, nor is it suitable for elves to survive!

In this case, there is no point in resisting after all!
"The reason why this place is called Mirkwood is not only because the light is blocked; but also because there is obviously another power in Mirkwood, which is suppressing the vision of the creatures inside!" Ian quickly discovered Mirkwood. difference.

Even Ian, after entering the dark forest, his normal vision is also severely limited, and he can only see a distance of tens of meters.

"Only a few tens of meters of vision?...Barely okay!" Ian frowned slightly.

This distance is enough for him, enough for him to detect the enemy in advance, without worrying about being attacked by the enemy.

As for the problem of being easily approached by the enemy, it is not a problem for Ian.

He was prepared to focus on melee combat, and he was not worried about being approached by the enemy at all.

And he doesn't just have conventional vision, after all he is a level six powerhouse, even if his ability cannot be used, his powerful spiritual power is not just for display.

Thinking of this, Ian immediately conducted a simple test.

As a result, as soon as his mental power was released, the range of hundreds of meters completely entered his perception.

However, he did not maintain this state, and his mental power was withdrawn as soon as he let it go:
"The normal field of vision is enough, if you don't need mental power, it's better not to use it!"

After all, he is not good at mental abilities, but Sauron is very good at playing with the soul.

Wearing a dark black fish-scale battle armor and holding a silver long sword, Ian wandered among the dense forests like a stroll in the courtyard.

He didn't hide his tracks, so he was quickly discovered by the monsters in the dark forest.

Like a campfire in the dark, Ian, an outsider, is too eye-catching, and all kinds of monsters flock to him like crazy.

"It's just a matter of practicing hands first!" Ian was not afraid, waving his long sword, and went straight to meet him.

In fact, he knew long ago that he would definitely attract the madness of the monsters, but he still chose to walk into the dark forest openly.

"The dark dense forest is full of monsters. It is almost impossible to hide and sneak into the depths of the dense forest!" Ian is very clear about his ability.

He is really not good at stealth, after all the battles he has experienced all the time, he doesn't need to hide his traces.

Since sooner or later it will attract monsters to attack, why not adapt to this kind of battle earlier?

This place is just outside the Misty Forest, and those who are attracted here are just ordinary monsters with average strength.As long as they are well prepared, ordinary bounty hunters can easily handle them.

With Ian's strength and physical strength, even if he is besieged, he can easily deal with it.

The process of the battle is not so much the monsters besieging Ian, but Ian slaughtering these monsters.

"Why are they all bugs?" Ian frowned.

It's not just because the dominant monsters in Mirkwood are giant spiders, the monsters Ian encountered were mainly insects.

Even if there were occasional non-insect monsters, they would pass by in a flash and avoid them far away.

It's not that Ian is prejudiced against insect monsters. The main reason is that although insect monsters are not strong, they are quite disgusting when killed.

The feeling of bursting pulp is as disgusting as that of a goblin.

"One is a disgusting person's sense of smell, and the other is a disgusting person's vision..."

Ian suddenly realized a problem,
"Speaking of which, there are monsters in this world, even monsters, why are they so disgusting?"

In view of how disgusting these bugs were, Ian immediately changed his strategy and no longer focused on melee combat.

Stones and branches that can be seen everywhere immediately become his killing weapon.

"What's going on? Didn't you say that there are giant spiders frequenting nearby?" Ian soon discovered another abnormality.

On the way to Mirkwood, Ian had read the information provided by the Kingdom of Gondor in detail.

The place he chose to enter the Mirk Forest happened to be the most frequent area where giant spiders appeared.

But right now he has been fighting for more than ten minutes, and has gone several kilometers into the dense forest, but still no giant spider appears.

"There is a problem!" Ian immediately raised his vigilance and began to observe his surroundings more carefully.

Occasionally, his gaze swept upwards.

Immediately, he found something under the canopy: "There is indeed a problem!"

There are some silk threads entwined between the tree crowns, some transparent silk threads that are so thin that they are almost imperceptible!

These silk threads are very fine, the hiding effect is very good, and there are no monsters attacking from the top of the head, so Ian has not noticed the abnormality of the top of the head.

There is no doubt that these silk threads must be the spider silk of giant spiders!
And the biggest function of these spider silks should be to play a warning effect. Through these spider silks to sense the vibration, the giant spider can immediately find the enemy entering the dense forest.

The existence of these spider silks undoubtedly proves that this place is indeed the territory of giant spiders.

Ian naturally had a question: "Since this is the territory of giant spiders, why haven't they appeared?"

With this question in mind, Ian let go of his mental power...

As a result, he realized in an instant: "It turns out that you have been there all along!"

It's not that the giant spider didn't come, it just kept hiding out of his sight.

And at this time, more giant spiders are gathering, they advance and retreat in an orderly manner, and the formation changes are not chaotic at all!
Maybe they have already arrived, maybe Ian was discovered by them the first time he entered the Mirk Forest.

These insect monsters were probably also driven by them to test Ian's strength.

"I'll just say it! No matter how many things there are in the Mirkwood, it's only the periphery, and it's impossible for them to keep flowing like before!" Ian realized instantly.

At this moment, the giant spiders seemed to know that they had been discovered, and they suddenly became restless.

"Hiss! Hiss!" A hiss suddenly entered Ian's mental power coverage.

Ian felt a slight tingling instantly, and subconsciously withdrew his mental power.

"Spiritual attack!" Ian's expression became serious in an instant.

He really didn't expect that these big spiders would attack with mental power! ?
Although this kind of mental power attack is very weak, it is like scratching an itch for him.

"It's a bit troublesome!" Ian paid more attention to the giant spider.

After all, the existence and non-existence of the special ability of mental power attack are completely two concepts.

As for the power?It must be directly related to the strength of the user.

The giant spiders on the outskirts of the Mirkwood are very weak, but not necessarily in the depths!

After all, the bloodlines of these giant spiders are not weak. In this world, individual strength is directly related to bloodlines.

The sudden mental attack, and then contacting these giant spiders behaved like an army.

Ian suddenly thought of a piece of information in the Kingdom Intelligence:
Giant spiders that go out alone have low intelligence, but when they are near the nest, they will suddenly show high intelligence.A commander who seems to have high intelligence in the spider nest!
There is only one guess in the information, and there is no definite conclusion. Obviously, those who inquired about the news did not dare to enter the giant spider's lair.

"So there's a giant spider's lair nearby? It should just be a newly built lair!" Ian quickly connected the clues together.

Obviously, the giant spider frequently rushes out of the Mirk Forest because of this newly built lair.

After all, when the nest is newly built, the first thing the giant spider has to do is to eliminate the danger in the territory!

With this information, Ian's bounty mission can actually be declared complete.

After all, the reward offered by the Kingdom of Gondor was only to find out the reason why the giant spider appeared, not to directly solve the root of the problem.

However, he never thought of leaving Mirk Forest at all, and he didn't come to complete the mission, the bounty mission was just a matter of convenience.

"Has the lair of the giant spider developed to the edge of the Mirkwood?" Ian was more concerned about the meaning it represented.

The giant spider's lair has grown to the edge of the Mirkwood, which means that the monsters in the Mirkwood have reached their peak!
It was not difficult for him to draw a conclusion: "It seems that it is not long before Sauron recovers!"

The Mirkwood used to be called the Great Greenwood, but under the influence of Sauron's magic power, it became the Mirkwood full of monsters today.

Therefore, the changes of the monsters in the Mirk Forest directly reflected the state of Sauron.

Thinking of this, Ian couldn't help becoming anxious, and he didn't have much time left!

This strengthened his determination to go deep into the Mirkwood.

He didn't have enough time, and any opportunity to recover his strength should not be missed.

"You must speed up!" Ian once again looked in the direction where the giant spiders gathered.

At this time, they have entered Ian's field of vision, and under the command of the unknown existence, they slowly surrounded him!

Ian calmly drew out his long sword, ready to fight.

Although these giant spiders are much stronger than those monsters just now, they are also things that he can deal with with a single sword.

But he didn't rush forward rashly.

This group of giant spiders is relatively weak, and it is a good opportunity to learn about giant spider groups and nests!
"I don't know which direction the spider's nest is?" Ian looked around among the spiders, trying to determine the direction of the spider's nest.

However, the formation of giant spiders is very neat and even, and he didn't notice it after looking around.

"I knew it wouldn't be that simple!" Ian randomly chose a direction and made a gesture of breaking through.

Seeing Ian's movements, the giant spiders that surrounded them instantly accelerated.

And consciously followed Ian's movements, converging in the direction of his breakout, as if trying to block his breakout direction?

"Sure enough, it's a newborn spider's nest. Although it's smart, it's inexperienced!" Ian smiled.

You can't see it when you slowly line up your troops, but once they are mobilized, the spider swarm's flaws will immediately start to show.

If Ian really wanted to break through, it would be a breeze at this moment.

However, Ian never thought about breaking out of the siege, and just continued to pull the spider swarm.And also controlled his own strength to rush left and right, showing a state of stretching.

After a few rounds of fighting, Ian soon made a new discovery: "These giant spiders move quickly and have a lot of experience in dodging, but they are obviously weak in close combat!"

The giant spider's attack method is also very simple.

Spraying the spider web at a medium distance, the spider web covers a large area, but the strength is obviously far worse.

At close range, it has sharp front feet like spears, and deadly poisonous fangs.

However, it is this simple attack, combined with their agile action and the attack method of group attack, the lethality is definitely not weak.

This fighting style is relatively restrained by elves who are good at archery, but it happens to be completely restrained by Ian.

"Maybe it's the result of the selective evolution of the spider group due to the long-term battle with the elves? ... This possibility is very high!" Ian guessed.

This must be good news. Newborn spiders have this feature, and old spiders should be the same!
After all, during the expansion of the giant spider, except for the elves who could temporarily block its footsteps, it never encountered a decent enemy.

In the process of fighting the elves, the spider group's fighting style gradually favored enemies who were good at long-range attacks and also restrained agility.

"It's not unreasonable for this group of spiders to expel the wood elves and occupy Mirkwood!"

Ian couldn't help but think of the wood elf's situation:
At this time, they have been completely suppressed to the northern part of the Mirkwood, basically losing the power to counterattack.

"Hiss~hiss!" Another hiss sounded, interrupting Ian's thinking.

To Ian, this spiritual attack was like a breeze blowing on his face, without any effect at all.

But he still pretended to be unwell.

Sure enough, the spider group immediately seized the opportunity to speed up their attack.

As soon as the attack speed increased, the spider group immediately revealed more flaws.

Ian suddenly discovered that the spiders in one direction were obviously more conservative in their actions, not as desperate as other giant spiders.

Obviously, they are still vigilant.

At this point in time, it is self-evident what is worthy of their protection!

"Caught you!"

Ian's eyes were fixed, and then he shot with all his strength, and began to slaughter...
