Volume 4 Chapter 38 The Secret Outer Circle
Any one of the three energy systems is capable of bringing the body into full operation. With the help of sufficient power, the difficulty of Shi Leiyin's control of this body changed from manipulating a heavy set of full-covered metal armor to manipulating a pair of paper armor. Although it saves a lot of effort, it needs to be more precise to give instructions to ensure that the body does not make some strange movements due to the inertia of its own power.
After becoming familiar with the control of the body for a while, and shifting the focus of the devouring analysis to the control center on the body, Shi Leiyin finally completed the basic mastery of the body.
Without too much hesitation and nonsense, Shi Leiyin directly carried the Ma Gu with the monitoring function into the first layer of the Stone Forest Secret Realm.
The speed of the body is very fast, and when running with two feet, it is almost comparable to the speed of Shi Leiyin's eight-legged stance. At the same time, as a mechanical species, this body also has a leg jet system, which can perform an air-craft-like jet glide when needed. The speed can even be twice as fast as when running. With the jet fully open, it can also fly short distances. This design can be said to greatly satisfy Shi Leiyin's dream of driving a Gundam. 'It's just that the appearance may be more like Zagu,' the reason Shi Leiyin thought to himself was that there was an electronic aiming hood in the outer equipment of this body of the institutional species. This may have been used to assist the Akers who used this body to support artillery attacks. Because it is a traditional single-lens slide mode sensor design, it looks more like a 'one-eyed' that turns around.
Due to the fact that it is completely encased in Shi Leiyin's body, the energy system of the body's body not only provides energy for its own actions, but also bears the energy consumption of Shi Leiyin's devouring analysis. Although the energy consumed by the Devouring Fusion Ability, which is his greatest ability, is extremely low, it is still a high consumption for Shi Leiyin to analyze the structure and operation without being able to directly decompose the object. Fortunately, the energy used by the magic crystal energy system can be directly used by Shi Lei Yin in nature, ensuring that Shi Lei Yin can maintain the whole body to wrap around this body, and there is still enough energy for fusion analysis, as well as manipulating the body to perform some actions that violate inertia.
The outer ring of the Stone Forest Secret Realm is the environment that is most suitable for the name of this secret realm. The entire floor is made up of stone pillars tens of meters high. The gaps between the stone pillars are small, the largest is only about three meters, and the smallest is only a few centimeters, making the entire outer layer look like a stony forest, which is also one of the sources of the name of the Stone Forest Secret Realm.
Another source of the name of the Stone Forest Secret Realm is the various vines and mosses attached to these stone pillars. In addition to vines like creepers and morning glories, there are also parasitic plants like dodder seeds, and some carnivorous plants like pitcher plants and flytraps. Of course, there are more plant species that even Shi Leiyin can't recognize, which are very different from the plants on the earth.
The most notable of these unknown species of plants is a reticulate plant that covers the entire top layer of the outer ring. The plant is pale yellow in color and looks like a piece of tattered oiled paper that has been poked. The translucent reticulation makes the stone forest below, which is already dark due to the dense stone pillars, even at noon.
However, contrary to its tattered paper-like appearance, the plants that make up the top of the stone forest are extremely resilient. Shi Leiyin, who had originally tried to enter the core of the secret realm directly from the top of the stone pillar, found that he could not completely break through this thin layer of plant omentum with his own strength. And when you increase your strength, the surrounding plants will quickly cover you, and layer after layer of omentum will be superimposed on the position where you break through. At the same time, this plant not only has extremely high elastic tension, but also has the ability to prevent fire, corrosion and cutting that Shi Leiyin is amazed by. The ignition element in Shi Leiyin's body couldn't even scorch the outer skin of this plant, and the sharp blade composed of the proud Broken Dragon's jaw could only be contaminated and passivated by the sap secreted by this plant after cutting through several layers of omentum, losing its sharpness. The highly corrosive venom from King Poison Slime also hit a wall, and this plant seems to have the same properties as Shrayin, after being corroded by the venom several layers of omentum, it produces an omentum that can adapt to the venom. At the same time, more, more and more dense omentum is converging from all directions, covering several or even dozens of layers when Shi Leiyin destroys a layer of omentum.
If only the main body of Shi Lei Yin entered, no matter how powerful this plant was, it would not be able to stop Shi Lei Yin from burrowing through the hole in its omentum. But now with the drag of the body of the institution, Shi Leiyin, who is unwilling to waste his time fighting with plants, can only choose to return to the ground and follow the path pioneered by the previous explorers of the secret realm.
However, the characteristics of this plant made Shi Leiyin very interested, and forcibly intercepted a part of the omentum structure and stored it in his body. After thoroughly analyzing the structure of the species, Shi Leiyin will devour and fuse the characteristics of this plant into his body. Subconsciously, Shi Leiyin felt that the strength growth that this plant brought to him would not be lower than that of this body.
Falling back to the ground, Shi Leiyin temporarily slowed down the speed of his actions. The existence of the reticulated plant made Shi Leiyin retract his contempt for the first layer of the Stone Forest Secret Realm. Although it can be guessed from the location of this plant that it is at the top of the ecological chain of the entire outer ring, it has to be guarded against the presence of other similar plants in the way forward. After all, the body of the institutional species that is close to four meters in height can no longer be completely said to be acting on the ground, and there is no way to guarantee a relatively safe passage for those human adventurers, and it is equally safe for the current Shi Leiyin. If you fall into a cobweb-like trap, you'll waste even more time.
It is said to be slowing down, but the four-meter-tall body, even if it is just an ordinary speed walk, is still much faster than an ordinary human trot. More or less, Shi Leiyin still bumped into some plants wrapped between the stone pillars and the expected spider webs.
The environment of the Stone Forest Secret Realm is simply a paradise for web-forming creatures like spiders, and Shi Leiyin barely walks ten steps before hitting a spider web. Fortunately, these giant spiders, the size of ordinary human heads, are just ordinary wild animals. Except for the fact that the web is a little sticky, there is nothing special about it, most of the spiders have fled even before Shi Leiyin knocks down the web, and only a few spiders who are unlucky or reluctant to prey on the web are knocked to the ground by Shi Leiyin, not only the prey is gone, but they have also become the prey of other creatures.
