Chapter 403: Rainforest Training
Leaving the noisy Mohr behind in Candelrak, Fat Orange did not return to Tavaré with Jacques and Lily, but led them south into the rainforest.
Passing through the rainforest area last year, the strength of the three of them was very weak, so they would rather drift along the coast than dare to enter the rainforest.
This time, Fat Orange, who has the strength of the All-Knowing, also has the strength to go on a journey.
The three of them enter the rainforest, on the one hand, Fat Orange wants to hone Jacques, and on the other hand, the rainforest is more suitable for Fat Orange to recover on his own.
In addition to the climatic reasons of high temperature and humidity all year round, another important factor in the formation of rainforests is that the source energy concentration in rainforest areas is higher than that in other regions.
Although most transcendents can't immediately feel the level of source energy concentration in a certain area, once they live in this area for a while, they will find that their strength increases relatively quickly.
There is another more intuitive manifestation of the area with a higher concentration of source energy, that is, the number of alien beasts and spirit plants in the area is relatively large, and the strength of alien beasts is strong, and it has been occupied by alien beasts for a long time, so that it is difficult for humans to survive.
The empire also had such areas with relatively high concentrations of source energy, most notably in the Foggy Mountains in the far north. It is said that most of the alien beasts on the periphery of the Foggy Mountains are of the plasticizer level, and there are extremely large numbers, and the inner circle above the mountainside is not accessible to humans at all.
Compared with the Foggy Mountains, the rainforest is already a relatively safe area, but the number of alien beasts is relatively large, and the types are relatively difficult, but the strength is not strong, most of them are the strength of the Awakened, and there are few alien beasts with the strength of the Plasticizer. In addition, the production of spirit plants is relatively large, even if the rainforest is dangerous, it is still a favorite area for adventurers.
Due to the impact of the war in the past few months, there are far fewer transcendents who go to the rainforest to venturize, the situation is not stable, and even if there is a gain, it is impossible to understand how to get rid of it, and it is more than worth the loss if it is rotten in your own hands.
Fat Orange flew with Jacques and Lily, and it only took half a day to cross three hundred miles into the depths of the rainforest.
During the flight, he also encountered a large group of alien beasts, bumblebees, and if it was an ordinary adventurer team, even if there was a grandmaster in the team, they would all be wiped out under the attack of bumblebees. However, after Fat Tangerine released the unique mental power of the all-knowing, the bumblebee swarm, which felt the pressure of mental power, immediately turned around and ran away.
However, the fat orange who released the coercion of his mental power also immediately adjusted his flight route and accelerated in the other direction.
"The emperor has important things to do, and he doesn't want to waste time on the road. That's how Fat Orange explains.
However, Jacques remembered that when Lily was attacked by the Nightmare and fell into a coma last year, Isis had said that this rainforest area belonged to another Beastmaster, and it was said to be a giant python.
It seems that Fat Tangerine doesn't want to have senseless disputes, so he rashly enters the territory of another beastmaster, which has a strong provocative meaning.
Not long after Fat Tangerine and his group left, a small snake slowly moved along the dense waterways in the rainforest towards the area where Fat Tangerine had released its coercion.
Until the place of the incident, the little snake cautiously wandered around the area to search, and found no trace except for the remnants of an unfamiliar spiritual force.
After carefully inspecting for a long time, and he was not familiar with the beast king who left the qi system, the little snake finally made a judgment that it was a beast king from the north who happened to pass by, and the other party should not stay in his territory. Odd book e-book
So the little snake, which was less than a foot long, slipped into the river, swam in the direction from which it had come, and left this place of right and wrong with joy.
However, what the little snake didn't know was that just fifty miles away from the place of the incident, a fat orange cat with two human shapers descended from the sky and occupied a makeshift camp set up by adventurers, intending to live in his territory for a while.
The so-called camp is just three rain-proof wooden huts, surrounded by a fence that cannot resist anything, close to the creek, easy to get water, and the trees in the camp are manually cleared, giving them a few more hours of sunlight every day.
Plants in the rainforest tend to grow tall, with a dense canopy at the top that shades the sun, and some places close to the ground that do not get direct sunlight all year round. The people who built the camp probably thought that if they didn't see sunlight often, it would affect the physical and mental health of the transcendents, so they simply cut down all the tall trees in the middle of the camp and made a small square.
After Jacques and Lily tidy up, the abandoned camp was put back into use, and Fat Orange's "Rainforest Survival" training, which he claimed could improve his combat effectiveness, began.
Jacques and Lily were in charge of hunting and gathering and feeding the family. In addition, under the leadership of Fat Orange, they meditate together, learn to train source energy skills, and sharpen each other's mental strength.
The central part of the New World had been occupied by the Kingdom of Light for five months, and since the news of the outbreak of war reached the Empire, the situation that had been on the verge of breaking out was suddenly extinguished like a fire that had been broken into a large basin of water.
The fiercest battle between the imperial capital and Londinium was in the newspapers.
The Shinkyo Daily and the Lendinium Observer spend most of their daily pages attacking and insulting each other, or responding to each other's accusations.
The quarrel was so fierce that there were no more military operations except for the blockade of the canal to the imperial capital by the Duchy of Stuart, but it was all because of the suspension of the canal, and the land transportation of the Stuart and Gyeonggi regions entered an unusually busy period.
Although war was declared in Stuart and Castile, there was little mention of the ongoing war at home.
On the border between the two countries, although the two sides claimed to have invested tens of thousands of troops on the border, war seemed to be imminent. In fact, there has been no conflict.
The standoff lasted for five months and is likely to continue.
There had been no war in the empire itself for more than two hundred years, and even the soldiers did not know how the subsequent course of events would develop once a war broke out.
Did the war between the two countries turn into a joint battle between Castile and the royal family against Stuart?
It is even possible that the Duchy of Saxony is also involved, and Stuart is one against three?
If you include the fact that the Stuarts are defending their colonies in the New World against the invasion of the Kingdom of Light, the Duchy of Stuarts seems to have reached a state of total invincibility.
Probably this is the reason why the two countries have not dared to go to war easily.
At sea, where no one cared, a Castile Galen-class battleship and a Stuart dreadnought-class battleship were close together, so close that if you opened the gun hatch, you could reach out and touch each other's hull.
