There seems to be a smell of rotten leaves around. Sha Bai opened his eyes, and it seemed that there was a dense forest around him, this is the so-called test space?

The anesthetizing gas inhaled in that small room still seemed to have some residual effect, and Sha Bai felt that his head was still a little dizzy. He steadied himself, slowly got up, looked around warily, and then crouched down and listened for a moment to see if anyone else was nearby.

If the candidates who enter the test environment are all acting according to the rules set by the Black Moon Society, and the law of the jungle is the law of the jungle and has no scruples, then the most dangerous source is not from the environment itself, but from other candidates who have entered the test site together.

From the beginning to the end, Sha Bai did not see the other people who participated in the test, neither knew how many people there were in total, nor did he know the strength of the others, so he had to be vigilant at all times.

After listening to the sound for a while, and making sure that there should be no people around for about 100 meters, Sha Bai breathed a sigh of relief and began to carefully check the surrounding environment.

This forest should be extremely ancient, the trunks are simple and verdant, almost as thick as a few people hugging each other, many trunks are wrapped with green or purple rattans that are almost the thickness of an arm, and the ground is covered with layers of dead leaves that are several feet thick, the dead leaves on the bottom have completely rotted and turned into dust, and the leaves on the surface still maintain the original appearance of dead leaves.

Above the dense forest, the layers of branches and foliage obscured it, and it was impossible to see the sky overhead, and the air seemed damp and dreary.

Sha Bai glanced at where he was lying just now, and there was a large gray cloth package placed there. He took the package and opened it carefully, first seeing a suit and a metal mask inside, as well as two smaller cloth sacs. There were two cloth bags, one containing several bottles of water and some dry food such as compressed biscuits, and the other containing ten small dusty stones and two pieces of paper.

Sha Bai unfolded two pieces of paper and looked at them, one of which was a small map, which should be the map of the test space. The other one is a picture, which shows a plant that looks like a Ganoderma lucidum, which is probably what the Black Moon Society calls the Moon Ganoderma lucidum.

A few small gray stones, different from the red spirit stone of his original. There was a faint halo on the surface of that red spirit stone, and the surface of these gray spirit stones did not have any luster, only a gray color. This is the spirit stone that Black Moon is talking about?

Now that the environment around him was not fully understood, Sha Bai decided to investigate first, and then find a way to find a safe place to hide, and then carefully study the equipment.

He took out his armor from his cloth bag and put it on his body. The front chest and back of the armor are made up of many metal pieces strung together, which is the shape of a vest, the right size, and the flexibility of movement does not affect the body at all. The metal sheet is thick and should provide good protection for the chest and back. After putting on the armor, Sha Bai picked up the mask and tried it again, this mask seemed to be made of some kind of thin metal, covering the face still slightly affected the side vision, so Sha Bai put the mask into the cloth bag and did not wear it.

Tie the gray cloth wrap around the mouth, then wrap it around the back, tie a knot on the chest, and tie it firmly around the body.

Surrounded by forest leaves, the space more than ten meters away is not very clear, so I can only find a way to go to a high place to see. Sha Bai circled around, chose a big tree that looked thirty or forty meters tall and as thick as five or six people surrounded him, and slowly climbed up.

This big tree has many branches and many places to rest when it climbs up, but the branches are intertwined and will keep blocking the way. Sha Bai carefully picked up the branches in front of him, and carefully observed his surroundings to prevent some snakes and rats from attacking him in the trees.

After about half an hour, Shabai finally climbed to the top of the tree. He stood at the top of the tree and looked around. In front of me to the left, about a dozen miles away, you can faintly see the border of this wood, and the outside of the jungle seems to be a brown hilly area. In that direction is the border of the jungle closest to him, and in other directions, the woods are densely layered, and there is no end in sight.

If you are active in the border area of the jungle, you will obviously be able to enter and exit freely, and it will also be more conducive to understanding the geography of this space. Sha Bai decided to go to the border first. After coming down from the tree, he set his direction and slowly walked towards the jungle border in front of him.

He walked cautiously forward with a light step, bowed low.

There are dense forests all the way, and after walking for almost an hour, the dense forests in front of you are still boundless, and there is no end in sight. Worried that he would get the wrong direction while walking, Sha Bai decided to find another tree to climb up and see.

After selecting a large tree with a diameter of almost ten meters thick, Shabai walked to the foot of the tree and wanted to climb it. At this moment, the left foot that was walking in front suddenly fell under his feet and sank downward! Sha Bai was startled, and instinctively pulled out and jumped back.

There were only thick dead leaves at the foot of the tree, and Sha Bai observed the changing sky, and there was no movement under the dead leaves. He found a long branch, stood far away, and slowly used the branch to pull away the dead leaves at the foot of the tree. The dead leaves were gradually pulled aside, revealing a black hole.

The entrance to this tree hole is at the root of the tree, and the hole looks very deep, sinking into the ground for several meters, and the hole is so dark that you can't see it clearly. The entrance to the cave is blocked by layers of tree bars and leaves, and it is almost impossible to see from the outside without looking closely.

Sha Bai lurked patiently outside the cave for more than ten minutes, and there was no movement in the cave. He cautiously walked to the side of the cave and put a branch into the hole to stir it, and there seemed to be only some dry grass and leaves in it, and nothing else.

After stirring with a twig for a few minutes, it seemed that there were no dangerous animals in the cave, and Sha Bai poked his head in to take a look. This tree hole is two or three meters deep into the ground, and the internal space is seven or eight square meters in size, three or four meters high, and the hole is full of branches and dead leaves.

It's a nice hideaway!

Sha Bai decided to take a break here first. He cleared the branches from the hole and spread in a layer of dry dead leaves. After climbing into the hole, he poked out a stick from the hole, pulled the branches and weeds around the hole and piled them up at the mouth of the cave to cover up. Feeling that the entrance of the cave was not easy to see from the outside, Sha Bai gave up.

Shabai, who had entered the tree hole, sighed, unbuckled his backpack, took out the map, and began to examine it carefully.

The map is rudimentary, with only three areas marked, a primeval forest, a patchwork of high mountains, and a meadow, all three of which are next to each other. There are some red dots in each area to indicate where the Ganoderma lucidum may appear. Sha Bai estimated the location, and he should be not far from the junction of mountains and woods.

Not far from entering the mountain from this junction, there is a red dot marking, which should be a place where Ganoderma lucidum appeared.

After reading the map, Sha Bai took out another gray spirit stone and looked at it carefully, then put the spirit stone at his feet and began to sit cross-legged. Since Black Moon said that it was a spirit stone, he decided to try to absorb the spiritual power in it.

"You'd better not use these spirit stones. Gray Shadow's voice suddenly remembered abruptly.

Sha Bai was startled, and a little surprised.

Ever since the red spirit stone in Yang Volcano's own body had disintegrated into powder, the gray shadow had not appeared again. Sha Bai thought that the gray shadow had already left, and went to other places to find spiritual resources for him to stay.

"Senior, where are you?" Sha Bai asked in a low voice as he looked around.

"I'm in the spiritual core of your dantian. Grayshadow replied.

"Dantian's spirit core?"

"That's right, it's the same thing as that air mass in your dantian. I was distracted, and I couldn't be nourished by the aura for a moment. After your fire spirit stone was shattered, I had nowhere to go, but fortunately, after you stepped into the realm of primary spirit disciples, a spirit core had already formed in the dantian, and I entered your spirit core to hide. ”

Sha Bai was stunned for a moment, the gray shadow was actually in his body?

"Don't worry, I'm hiding in your aura core, but it will consume some of your spiritual power, and there is no other harm to you. Gray Shadow seemed to sense Shabai's concern and spoke. "In your current aura core, the pure fire spiritual power from that high-grade fire spirit stone is the mainstay, and later you absorbed some of the miscellaneous spiritual energy gathered by the spirit gathering array, and I can barely stay in your spirit core at present. But if you absorb the aura in this spirit stone, I'm afraid I won't be able to hide in your spirit core anymore. ”

Sha Bai was stunned and asked, "Why is this?"

Gray Shadow said: "These spirit stones do contain aura, but in addition to aura, there is also a trace of ape demon qi hidden in the ape clan. The demonic aura of the ape is extremely harmful to my distraction, and I cannot coexist with this demonic aura in your spiritual core.

In addition, even if you don't consider the problem of my existence, you'd better not use these spirit stones to cultivate, the Terran monks have used these spirit stones to cultivate for a long time, and the energy of the ape demon will gradually make the mind become scattered and violent, and if there is no proper method to suppress it, it will eventually become delirious and become like a walking corpse, only knowing to obey the orders of the ape clan and become a slave of the ape clan. ”

Sha Bai was secretly frightened when he heard this, he also guessed that Heiyue was not so kind to provide spirit stones for these candidates to use in their cultivation, but he never expected that there would be such a big evil intention hidden in it.

Sha Bai thought about it for a while, and then asked, "Senior, if you have been by my side, do you know what I have experienced in the past few days?"

"I'm just distracted, I have a limited range of perception of the outside world, and I don't know everything about the past few days. Grey Shadow replied, "You were in that room in the prison, you were injected with something, and then you fell asleep. Then two men take you out of the prison, ride you into the mountains, and get on a disc-shaped flying machine. The disc took off late at night, flew for a long time, until it reached a snow-capped mountain, and there seemed to be a passage on the mountain that went straight to the underground, and the disc plunged into the passage, flew down for a long time, and then came to this underground space. ”

"There's a huge space here, there's a lot of buildings in it, and there's also landforms like forests and grasslands. You've been in one of those buildings in a room and you've been sent to the forest. ”
