Chapter 52: The Mysterious Jungle
The area of the hunting ground in Dingyang is relatively vast, Qin Long roughly observed, and the map marked five major plates, the mysterious jungle, the misty forest, the secret lake, the silent swamp, and the death desert, the five major plates constitute ninety percent of the outer area of the hunting ground, and the stars and the moon guard the unknown area in the center.
With the current unknown area that Skynet, Oriental Shadow Dance, and X cannot explore, it is obvious that the level of the alien needs to be raised to at least the second stage of the brain domain, and it can also be seen from this that the evolution rate of the alienated creatures is faster than that of the alien beings. This unknown area is definitely a life and death for a person with a current level of ability.
Correspondingly, the other five plates also have different levels of danger, the drawings use colors to indicate their degree of danger, except for a blank space in the unknown zone, the Death Desert is the deepest, almost all marked with black, and the mysterious jungle is the lightest color, but it is also limited to the exploration of supernatural people above the third order, Qin Long thought about it, and decided to go to the mysterious jungle that is most suitable for him at the moment.
The Mysterious Jungle was located at the southern end of the hunting ground, and the area of this area was not small, but with Qin Long's speed of hundreds of kilometers per hour, he had reached the Mysterious Jungle before noon.
The strange thing is that it is still noon, the sun is shining in the sky outside the hunting ground, but Qin Long can't feel a trace of warmth, the sky looks gray here, the air exudes the smell of decay, stepping on thick dead branches and leaves, Qin Long can't even feel the vitality of plants.
It's like a rotten jungle, dead and silent. However, this is obviously the entrance, you can see a lot of clear footprints of the supernatural, and you can see that it is divided into several main forks not far from the entrance, but it only lasts for a short distance, although the vegetation in the jungle is not high, but the canopy coverage is relatively large, of course, there are more dead branches and leaves on the ground, and the main road has disappeared without a trace.
As for the other roads that are not often traveled, they have long been covered with thick dead leaves.
Qin Long thought about it, but decided to find another way, this time his task is more difficult to receive, and there are more side quests, fortunately, there is no time limit, he is a cautious person who is not used to handing over his back to others, and he is also used to walking alone.
Qin Long currently needs to make a long-term preparation, he must choose a place as a temporary residence, it is impossible to be near the water source, after all, there is definitely not much clean water source in the mysterious jungle, and the supernatural will replenish the water there, which is easy to attract attention.
Qin Long needed to find a place that was relatively hidden, but at the same time had a geographical advantage, not too close to the water source, and not too far away. Of course, the most important thing is that it must be safe, with neither the threat of paranormal nor the nighttime harassment of too many alien creatures.
However, Qin Long had been searching for two hours, and he hadn't even found a water source, and although his speed had slowed down a lot, he had also explored for ten kilometers. And to Qin Long's great surprise, he didn't see even a single alien creature.
Even the location of the alienated creature marked on the drawing, Qin Long did not find anything. The Mystic Jungle rarely has the characteristics of a jungle, where the otherwise complete chain of creatures becomes disjointed, and the smell of corruption makes it more like a lost world that is uninhabited.
QIN LONG DIDN'T DOUBT THE AUTHENTICITY OF THE PICTURE GIVEN BY QUEEN, THERE WAS NO NEED FOR QUEEN TO BOTHER ON THIS ISSUE, BUT NO MATTER HOW YOU LOOKED AT IT, IT DIDN'T LOOK LIKE THERE HAD BEEN BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY.
Soon, it was night.
In the city, the night is a paradise for the supernatural.
Well, in the jungle, the night is a paradise for alien creatures.
Qin Long didn't choose to rest, in fact, he hadn't stopped looking for traces of alienated creatures. However, at night, he vaguely sensed the aura of alien creatures' activities, and in his infrared vision, there were no alienated creatures, which made him feel very surprised.
The end of the world is close at hand, this is how Qin Long feels now, the alienated creatures seem to be close at hand, and it also seems to be at the end of the world.
As the night deepened, the aura of the alien creatures grew heavier and heavier. Qin Long subconsciously followed this breath and rushed forward, there was still no thermal imaging in his field of vision, but Qin Long's psychological perception became stronger and stronger.
Such a strange phenomenon would have been imagined and frightened by ordinary people, but Qin Long faintly revealed excitement, he knew that the mystery was getting closer and closer.
Whew!
The vocal cords of the alienated creatures have been genetically modified, this is their characteristic hoarse sound, Qin Long can almost sense that they are close at hand, but his eyes just can't see, and even he made a mistake and lit a bonfire, but he still found nothing.
However, the sound of flowing water instantly attracted Qin Long's attention. Qin Long began to look at the thick dead leaves under his feet, yes, absolutely yes!
The sound comes from underground!
This is a world of underground creatures!
After discovering this secret, Qin Long did not act recklessly, and walked in the direction of the upstream of the water flow through the thick layer of soil. That is to say, Qin Long's facial features are strengthened and psychological perception has this effect, and if you are an ordinary ability, you will definitely not be able to find a mystery.
Qin Long also lost his signal twice in the middle of the way, but his strong perception brought him back on track, and when he took about half a day to reach the source, he found that he had returned to the opposite direction of the starting point where he stood during the day, and behind him, there were those roads with obvious footprints.
No wonder I have been in the wrong place for so long, and those few footprints are simply in the wrong direction.
Qin Long reluctantly found that it was dawning again. It turned out that unconsciously, he had been searching for more than eight hours, and Qin Long felt a heavy sense of exhaustion in his mind at this time, and he had been concentrating for eight hours in a row, even though his internal system had evolved to twenty basic units, he still felt overloaded.
Now that he knew the secret, Qin Long didn't have too many worries, and rested all day in a hidden corner of the jungle until he woke up at night, only to feel full of experience. After simply eating dry food and drinking some drinking water, Qin Long set off. The situation was not dire at the moment, and instead of using a small amount of energy potions, he supplemented his food slightly.
He came to the so-called source, the underground entrance was not found, but this did not make it difficult for Qin Long, the sound of the water source was the most direct clue, and after looking for a while, he found that the flow of the river here had decreased significantly after a corner, and soon he found a hole that was tightly hidden and entered.
As soon as you enter the underground cavern, there is a cave inside, and the roads that extend in all directions run into the distance, some low plants that do not need photosynthesis are scattered all around, the top of the wall is bare rock, and the water flow is basically along a main road. In fact, strictly speaking, this can no longer be regarded as a cave, but an underground world of alienated creatures on the other side.
I don't know what the hierarchy of the underground world of the mysterious jungle is, Qin Long couldn't help but think of the wolf king with preliminary intelligence in the Mingzhou hunting grounds, the intelligent alienated creatures are terrifying, once they have intelligence, their combat power almost doubles.
However, when Qin Long saw that the two monitor lizards of the early second order were actually on the main road of the river, they kept observing the surroundings back and forth, whether they were dutiful or not, this was already a simple sentry, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
Unexpectedly, the more high-level alien creatures there were, the more worried this phenomenon became.
The water was babbling, and the two monitor lizards looked energetic and not tired at all. This is also normal, they are anomalous creatures that come out at night. Even though the underground abilities have no light and no difference between day and night, they still retain the habit of being out and about.
Two standing guards must be addressed. Qin Long had many means to deal with the two second-order primary-level monitor lizards, but if he wanted to deal with them without alarming any alien creatures, for now, only firearms were the most secure.
Qin Long took out the B43 submachine gun and installed a muffler, and the thermal imaging of the monitor lizard became the best target, but Qin Long knew very well that if he wanted these rough-skinned monitor lizards to die in the unknown, it was not a wise choice to hit the heart, because within 0.5 seconds of the heart being hit, other organs could still function.
Poof, the bullet passed through the monitor lizard's vocal cords and drilled out of the monitor lizard's brain, in Qin Long's point of view, it was not difficult to achieve such an effect, and even he had already calculated that the impact force would bring the two monitor lizards into the bushes on the side to avoid unnecessary trouble caused by the abnormal sound of the water flow.
Subsequently, Qin Long packed up the carcasses of the two monitor lizards, and through the sentry, he found that there were several forks in the front of the main road, and after a short calculation, Qin Long chose a relatively narrow road that was also about two meters high and one meter wide.
This narrow corridor can pass through a strong man like the Red Snake, but it is obviously more than enough for the weak Qin Long, some materials such as rocks and soil cannot form thermal images, but Qin Long still uses the thermal imaging of the surrounding plants to analyze a simple picture route, and the infrared vision of the plants is still obtained after Qin Long strengthens his facial features.
Qin Long's purpose in choosing this path was a third-order intermediate alien creature mastiff in the depths of the cave. Fortunately, there are not too many intersections here, otherwise with the intricacies of the underground world, it would be difficult to find the mastiff, not to mention finding the mastiff.
Suddenly, not far from behind, an unusual aura came from behind.
Absolutely Adept, and more than one!
Qin Long frowned, there were even strangers who found here, couldn't their goal be the same as his own?
Hiding in the darkness at the right time, Qin Long adjusted the breath of his whole body to the lowest state.
The voices of several Adepts conversing were heard.
"Ah Huai, can you stop the and be suspicious, okay?" An angry voice seemed a little uncontrollable, "There are so many forks in the road, such a big underground world, how many people with abilities?
"Boss, I suspect that the Alien who killed the two monitor lizards is not far from us, and the blood stains of the two second-order alien creatures have not dried yet, and even the cranial cavity is still hot. If he hides and plots against us, we will face a very complicated dilemma. ”
"Sleepy mom, coward, even if that ability has the same goal as us, but there are four of us, are we still afraid of one of him?
This turned out to be a task team.
