It seems that there are more secrets of Beintz's blood lake than Hao Ren imagined at first.The strange and enclosed ecology, the mystical power of the twisted woodland, and the myriad of legends that surround it all, most of which Hao Ren believes have their exact origins, make people curious about this mysterious region."
What kind of species do you think this twisted woodland is?
Are you sure it's a plant?
”Hao Ren switched holographic projections, and finally stopped on the scan of the distorted woodland, the huge underground root system made him shudder, just looking at those images, he could feel a shock: he was standing on top of such an ancient and strange lifeform, and he was like a speck of dust compared to this big guy."
It's a plant," the computer continues to strengthen the scan signal to fill in the blurred or blank areas of the image, "hmm......
Although it is relatively rare for organisms to evolve into this pattern, it is not without precedent, you must know that the void is vast, anything can appear, the mother tree of the tree elves can even take root and cover the entire planet, and the one in front of you is just one of the forms of the 'giant plant'.The only thing that makes people wonder is how it came to be here - this machine has worked backwards on the ecological evolution of this planet, and found that even tens of thousands of years ago this place was not suitable for this giant conjoined plant to live, it ......
It shouldn't be on this planet, it's not in line with the laws of evolution. ”Hao Ren is a layman in biology, so he didn't think too much about it, he just looked at the towering tree next to him with emotion, reached out and stroked the rough and mottled dark bark, and imagined that he was coming into contact with a miracle creature that occupies a radius of hundreds of kilometers and has survived for tens of thousands of years.It's a pity that this miracle creature is just a bunch of roots, if only it could speak, Hao Ren really wants to know what happened to the world-destroying event more than 10,000 years ago.However, just when Hao Ren was in a trance, a feeling of palpitations suddenly rose from his heart.He got up and looked around warily, and for a moment he felt as if he was being stared at by something.It was not an ordinary "line of sight", but the feeling of being scanned from top to bottom by something indescribable, and the data terminal next to him immediately floated up when he saw this: "What's going on?"
”"No......
It could be an illusion," Hao Ren shook his head in confusion."
I feel like people around me are watching over here.""
There's no one around, I'll call the police if there's someone," the data terminal slowly floated back into the pot, "Let's go back and meet that little mercenary girl first, otherwise she should really suspect that you have a bad kidney." ”Hao Ren: "?
”When Hao Ren came back with the pot, he happened to see Betsy looking at this side anxiously.Before he could step forward to say hello, the other party yelled urgently: "Why did you go for so long?!"
You don't know it's dangerous?
”Hao Ren didn't expect this mercenary girl to care so much about her traveling companion, and explained awkwardly: "Well, people have three urgency."
Anyway, I didn't see any monsters here. ”"I'm wondering if it's more peaceful here than the last time I was here," Betsy frowned in confusion, "I've been here a few months ago, and I couldn't see the monsters along this road, but I often heard them moving in the depths of the woodland, but today it's somehow so quiet......
Didn't the rector say that the vicinity of the Blood Lake was not peaceful?
”"God knows how.It's always good to have no monsters anyway. ”Nangong May comfortably took a deep breath of the humid air containing rich water vapor, and urged everyone to continue on the road with full power, "Let's go, let's go, this road is very easy to walk, it is estimated that we will be able to see the Blood Lake today!"
”The team continued on the road, and Vivian quietly approached Hao Ren's side: "What did you find?"
”"I'll let you see the blockbuster when I go back," Hao Renshen mysteriously pointed to the pot (data terminal), "This forest is spectacular underneath." ”The next road was silent, and the group moved quickly on the quiet forest path, without encountering a demonic beast.Nor did he encounter the legendary carnivorous hybrid monster between plants and animals, this rumored evil twisted woodland was as safe and harmless as a peaceful ordinary forest, Hao Ren felt that he had walked almost half the way, and the biggest carnivorous beast he saw along the way was the bouncing husky beside him......
But Betsy became more and more uneasy in such a peaceful environment.She knew that the forest wasn't supposed to be so quiet, and that she would be relieved if there were a bunch of flesh monsters popping up here for her to fight, and that the fact that it was too quiet now only meant one thing: the forest had really changed like never before."
Wait," Vivien suddenly shouted nervously as the team moved forward at full speed, "there's something ahead!"
”Instead, Betsy breathed a sigh of relief: the little monster that she said was good had finally come out.The crowd immediately entered the battle mode.Betsy drew her enchanted sword, Vivien spread her batwings and floated into the air, Hao Ren unfolded her shield, Lily rubbed her blades of ice and fire and began to create water vapor, and Nangong May squatted on the ground with her head in her arms - everyone's battle form was different anyway.And almost as they were getting ready, an unusually heavy footstep suddenly came from the south side of the road!
The sound of the footsteps seemed to be mixed with the running of another smaller group of something.Hao Ren immediately walked to the front of the team with his shield on his shoulder, and soon, a large group of black shadows appeared among the trees in the south.The first thing that catches your eye is a group of twisted and weird-looking black creatures, they seem to be the mutated dinosaurs that Betsy mentioned, living in the twisted woodland, these black creatures are about two meters long, but you can't tell what kind of species they are, they are like a long ball of meat with six pairs of wrists and feet, and they look like deformed, mutant squid living on land, these black monster creatures have no facial features, and they don't even have obvious heads, They can only be seen as they run, with two tentacles full of sharp teeth in their upper part, which are like organs swinging wildly.These things have such a twisted and annoying appearance, anyone who sees them for the first time will inevitably have a tremble, and now there are about twenty of these twisted dinosaurs rushing towards Hao Ren and them as if they were rushing to buy them in the supermarket!
Hao Ren, who was ready for Rao, was also frightened by these extremely ugly strange creatures, and Lily next to him exploded: "Ah!
What's that?!
”"That's a flesh beast, a monster that eats everything!"
Becky's blade was blazing with flames, "Don't let them bite you, these guys have a ......
Huh?
”Betsy exclaimed in surprise: not long before the flesh beast came into view, another strange, even larger and unheard of creature came out from behind the trees in the distance!
It was a tree......
Strictly speaking, it is a giant in the shape of a giant tree.Nearly ten meters tall, it resembles a towering tree with limbs, its legs and arms are its legs and arms, and in the upper part of the tree, the bark of the ravines even vaguely outlines a face.The giant forest giant strode after more than twenty flesh beasts, and it was the sound of heavy footsteps that shook the mountains.The flesh beast was just being chased by the giant—and now these guys who couldn't be messed with no matter how they looked at it were running in Hao Ren's direction!
Of course, everyone didn't intend to come head-on when they saw this battle, but as soon as they were about to flash people, they found an extremely bad situation: I don't know if it was the forest giant's intention to drive away or the group of flesh beasts couldn't forget lunch when they were running away, this group of evil stars actually ran straight towards Hao Ren and them!
Hao Ren jumped up on the spot: "After beating the mountain giants, I will follow to protect the ancient tree, is this the nest of the night elves?!"
”Betsy quickly attached a few simple spells to her body to improve her combat effectiveness, and rushed towards the group of flesh beasts with a fiery magic sword: "Anyway, let's fight first!"
”Hao Ren gritted his teeth, the shield on his body was fully opened, and he pounced straight on the flesh beast closest to him: "Sun thief!"
”Although he couldn't hold back the blame every time he taunted, he still insisted on shouting Sun Thief before each charge - this could give him a psychological sense of shielding.On the other side, Itzhax strode towards the "Guardian Ancient Tree", which seemed to be the most difficult to deal with.
