Chapter 466
Deep in the forest.

Towering giant trees of the same species abound.

These trees are not redwoods, but they are more than [-] meters high, and the tree diameter is as much as ten meters.

The dense canopy of each giant tree is close together, so that no ray of sunlight can enter.

If one looks down from a high mountain in the distance, the spreading canopy of this forest will give people the illusion of being able to walk on flat ground.

Because of this, the sun is hard to see inside the forest all day long, and there is a chill in the air, and the ground covered with fallen leaves and branches is damp and smelly.

Walking in such a dark and cold environment, in every darkness that can be seen, there seems to be something about to move.

Even the ubiquitous air...

It is also releasing strands of pressure towards everyone.

Whether the way forward is right or wrong is yet to be seen.

But it is obviously not easy to go through this forest now.

Everyone in the team is tense, always alert to the troubles around them.

After all, this is a part of the Dark Continent, even if it is just an inconspicuous corner, there may be an unreasonable and treacherous thing popping up.

In contrast, the behemoth that Nitro had described was easier to deal with.

After all, those existences are visible to the naked eye...

Unlike the black shadow worms I encountered before, although they are so fragile that they can be easily dealt with with a small bullet, they are hard to find and have weird attack capabilities.

Moyou even suspected that those black shadow worms had the ability to kill giants.

An ant kills an elephant.

This kind of thing feels weird just thinking about it.

But in a place like the Dark Continent, it doesn't seem strange at all.

The team walked through the damp and cold forest, and the marching formation was still the same as before. Sisobenso was responsible for the demining task, exploring the way ahead and eliminating potential threats.

However, due to the forest terrain and various threats that may be encountered along the way, the team's progress is not fast.

Compared with the speed at the beginning of crossing the white land and black hills, it is a world away.

"If this continues, I don't know how long it will take to pass through this forest."

Moyou was always paying attention to the real-time vision screen transmitted from Xisuo Bensuo, his brows were frowned, and there was a ray of melancholy floating in it.

White land, black hills, giant grasslands...

When coming from these places, traveling thousands of miles a day is nothing.

But in this forest right now, it would be nice to be able to travel three hundred miles a day.

Not to mention the problem of vision, along the way, I have already encountered many very aggressive creatures.

Most of the creatures were taken care of by them, and a small number of creatures were afraid of Moyou's "all exhausted" aura, and they fled without fighting as soon as they showed up.

This is the root cause of the team's slow pace.

If it weren't for the fact that the creatures encountered could barely be classified as normal, I'm afraid the speed of travel would be even slower.

Moyou thought that if he walked forward from the canopy, he might be able to avoid all kinds of creatures in the forest, thus greatly increasing his speed.

However, this plan was directly aborted.

Xisuo Benso, who was sent by him to the canopy, was torn to pieces by a group of arrow-shaped flying creatures before he could stand still.

Judging from the view of Sisobenso before his collapse, the attackers were about the size of a mobile phone, and their flight status was quite similar to that of a dragonfly, but there were arrow-like sharp angles on their heads, and there were a lot of them.

They usually seem to inhabit dense tree canopies, and they will come out of their nests when they hear the slightest movement.

It was in that situation that Sisso Benso was torn to pieces in an instant.

Logically speaking, the thought energy entwined on the body surface should allow Xisuo Bensuo to persist for a while.

But the fact is that the group of flying creatures destroyed Sisuo Benso in a single encounter.

When they launched an attack, they seemed to be driven by some kind of program. Despite the large number, they could attack every corner of Hiso Benso's body in sequence.

It is also this kind of seamless group attack method that can tear Sisuo Benso into pieces in a second or two.

At first, Moyou thought it was their bad luck that they strayed into the territory of this group of flying creatures, so he changed the place to start the experiment.

As a result, I still encountered this flying creature that looked like a dragonfly.

After that, I changed several positions in a row, but there was no change.

No matter from which position you ascend the canopy, you will be attacked by this group of flying creatures in a short time.

This result made Moyou give up the idea of ​​walking above the canopy, and could only walk through the forest honestly.

After all, compared to the dense flying creatures like ant colonies, other creatures encountered in the forest will be better dealt with.

In this way, Moyou's team gradually explored forward under the premise of ensuring safety.

During this period, it is inevitable to raise the butcher's knife high and kill all the incoming creatures.

Fortunately, during this period of time, there was no such troublesome existence as the black shadow worm.

Occasionally, some creatures that release good will will be encountered.

Their aggressiveness is very weak, and they don't have the kind of blood-smelling hostility.

Perhaps because of this, Moyu's "Affinity +2" attribute can attract the kindness of this group of creatures.

It is a pity that these creatures do not have the potential to communicate.

Otherwise, you can let Pjorn build a communication bridge as before, so as to collect intelligence that can speed up the march and reduce the threat of the march.

finally--

It took the team 20 days to get out of the forest.

The whole process of walking down, can be regarded as safe and sound.

It was Xiaodi who was infected with some unknown virus and had a high fever for a day and a night, almost dying.

Fortunately, there was Sambika, who snatched Xiaodi from the God of Death at the last moment.

According to Sambika's judgment, the source of the virus that infects the droplets is likely to come from the creatures that were attracted by Moyu's affinity.

So after this incident, the team no longer hastily contacted these creatures with good intentions, and would disperse them as soon as possible every time.

Walking out of this forest, which can be called a paradise for creature hunters, the scene in front of them suddenly changed.

The uneven white rock stretches from the foot to the distance, and along the slope, there is a large hollowed-out giant rock block of various shapes. From a distance, it looks like a super-large coral reef appearing on land.

And above the boundary line between the end of the hillside and the coral reef-like rocks, there is a light brown strip with a diameter of more than three meters across the ground.

Its length cannot be seen at a glance, as if it is a dividing line drawn by the Creator himself...

"Looks like tree roots..."

Moyou glanced left and right.

Then, as usual, the shadow clone was thrown high into the sky to overlook the field of vision, and found that the light brown thing shaped like a tree root indeed crossed the land like a boundary line, separating the hillside from the coral reef area.

Everyone looked at the root-like object lying on the hillside.

Even after hearing Moyou say that the object grew beyond sight, they didn't have much reaction.

It has been more than two months since I came to the Dark Continent, and I have seen too many incredible things on the way.

Now it's just a root-like thing with an astonishing length, so there's no need to make a fuss about it.

"How do you say, old rules?"

Kang Jae glanced at Mo You and asked.

Things like pathfinding or trial and error should have been done by the reinforcement department.

But the team has the ability of "soul echo", so naturally it is not Kang Jae's turn to work hard.

Otherwise, even if he has the super self-healing ability of "tiger stripes", no number of lives will be enough in front of that weird thing full of various unknown abilities.

"of course."

Moyou nodded, looked up at the many coral-shaped rocks standing high, with a look of sadness in his eyes.

After trekking for nearly three months, everything I saw on the way did not match the content in the book "Journey to the New World"...

Does this mean that they were transported by ancient pipes to a place that is incompatible with Nitolomi?
Had he known this would happen earlier, perhaps he would not have rushed to the Dark Continent with the help of ancient channels.

But if you don't...

The matter of smuggling alone is also far away.

In the final analysis, it is because there are too few choices.

But it's meaningless to think about these things now. We can only find a way to find an opportunity to obtain information as soon as possible.

I only hope to meet intelligent creatures with the possibility of communication on the unknown road ahead.

In this way, it doesn't matter if there are a few monsters and ghosts.

Moyu suppressed his emotions, and then manipulated Sisuo Bensuo to walk slowly towards the tree root that separated the two boundaries.

Their team has been safe and sound until now, of course because the "Shadow Space" can carry sufficient survival supplies and provide a safe haven in times of crisis.

But it was more due to the countless trial and error opportunities brought by the shadow avatar to the entire team.

It is that it infinitely increases the fault tolerance rate when exploring the road.

Hiso Benso slowly approached, and under the close attention of everyone, he stepped over the tree roots on the ground.

But at this moment, the tree root-like thing that was originally lifeless suddenly boiled like a liquid, and then densely packed sea anemone-like tentacles instantly emerged.

Immediately afterwards, these tentacles were like rapidly closing vertical and horizontal sharp teeth, wrapping Xisuo Bensuo in it.

In the next instant, these tentacles quickly retracted, returning to their original root-like form at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It's just that Hiso Benso, who was wrapped by them, just disappeared out of thin air.

at the same time.

Moyu received the pain from the feedback.

It was as if there were countless red-hot iron rods piercing his body. Even though he had great pain tolerance, he couldn't help frowning at this moment, silently enduring the indescribable pain.

It can be said that the shadow clone did play a vital role on the road of exploration, but the price was that Moyou had to suffer from various pains.

Fortunately, Moyou had started to hone his pain tolerance a long time ago, otherwise he might be pierced by all kinds of pain and suffer mental breakdown.

"Good guy!"

Kang Jae's expression changed when he saw the tree-root-like thing turn into many tentacles and devour Hiso Benso.

But even if he has a simple mind, he can't help but wonder why this root-like thing is laid on the ground so openly.

Since it is trap-like predation, it should be hidden even more.

Instead, Xiao Di and Men Qi focused on Mo You.

They noticed the pained look on Moyou's frowning.

In their memory, it seemed that this was the first time they saw such an obvious reaction from Moyou.

"Moyu..."

Pijorn took two steps closer and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"

The rest of the team also looked at Moyou.

Facing the caring eyes of everyone looking over, Moyou didn't hide it, nodded and said: "It hurts a lot. In terms of grade, it's at least 'A-' level."

"so smart?"

Bisji frowned.

What she had just seen was Hiso Benso being swallowed up in an instant.

I thought that such a simple way of death would not bring any pain, but I didn't expect the fact to be the opposite.

Moyou nodded again, and then visualized a brand new Sisuo Benso.

"As long as you test the attack height of this thing, you should be able to pass."

As he said that, Moyu manipulated Sisobenso to jump into the air at a height of ten meters, trying to cross the tree roots on the ground in this way.

However, just as Hiso Benso flew over the sky, the root-like thing boiled like a liquid again, and then densely packed sea anemone-like tentacles emerged, and the attack speed became several times faster...

Everyone's eyes changed, and they could barely see those tentacles like a whale jumping out of the sea level, opening their bloody mouths to swallow Sisuo Benso into it.

Only a breath of time.

The root-like thing that swallowed Hisomoto returned to its original shape again.

Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help being silent, and looked at Moyou one after another.

I only saw Moyou frowning tightly, silently enduring the feedback pain.

After the pain dissipated, Moyu manifested Hiso Benso again.

This time, the vertical jump height was 30 meters, and it allowed Shisuo Benso to play the fastest speed.

It's a pity that it was swallowed by countless sea anemone-like tentacles in an instant.

"It doesn't seem to work. This thing seems to be able to adjust the height and speed of the attack according to the situation."

After several experiments, Moyou realized this.

After seeing the experiment process, Bisiji and others naturally held the same view as Moyou.

"Then you can't pass?"

Kang Jae stared at the root-shaped thing in front of him.

Who would have thought that this seemingly ordinary thing would have such an abnormal predatory ability.

"We still have Rat Baby."

As he spoke, Moyou raised his finger and tapped the bead necklace.

The bead glowed with a white light, and then turned into a mouse.

"Jeep!"

Shubao looked up at Moyou, then patted his chest with his short hand, saying that there was nothing wrong with it.

Moyou smiled, but he was not too happy too early.

Because judging from the test results, it is still unclear whether this tree-rooted thing will only attack people who are crossing the boundary, or even attack people who cross the boundary.

If even people who cross the line are also attacked, then the mouse treasure's ability is meaningless.

Anyway, give it a try.

Anyway, you can use Hiso Benso to test it first.

Thinking of this, Moyou gave up his worries.

"Jeep!"

Shubao inspired bursts of thoughts, and soon created a straight passage.

Everyone then jumped into the passage.

After a while.

A dark circle with green edges emerged on the surface of a coral-shaped rock tens of meters away from the tree root.

Then Hiso Benso came out of the dark circle, facing the root-like thing lying on the ground.

This time, the root-like thing didn't respond.

Seeing this result, Moyou breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, everyone came out of the "one-way" passage one after another, and successfully crossed the boundary line erected by the tree roots.

now--

then move on.

a few days later.

Dong Fulishi followed the trail and came here.

"It's really amazing to solve the block of the 'defending plant' so quickly."

After confirming that Moyou and his party had passed through the root-shaped thing called the boundary-defending plant, Dong Fulishi's interest suddenly became more intense.

He hadn't seen a human for a long, long time.

Moreover, they are a group of human beings who are capable enough to solve various obstacles in the Dark Continent.
