Volume 2 Survival in the Forbidden Land Chapter 3 The Sea of Flowers is Fragrant
A primeval dense forest, with trees covering the sky and the sun, and thorns. The atmosphere of savagery permeates the surroundings, making people feel depressed all the time. Always on high vigilance to observe the movement of the surrounding grass and trees, for fear that a wild beast will suddenly jump out and sneak attack.
There was not even the slightest smooth road, and Ling Chen's slippery silky uniform had been torn by thorns in several places, and silk threads were wrapped everywhere. On weekdays, the personable, extraordinary clothes look cumbersome here. At this time, there was no time to change clothes, Ling Chen simply knotted all the ribbons that could be tied, although it seemed a little nondescript, but after all, it would be much easier to act.
The spiritual power in the body did not react at all, and it was completely cut off. Ling Chen was no different from an ordinary person at this time, but for a person like him whose cultivation level was still very low, he actually didn't rely much on spiritual power. Like those academy tutors, they found that there was no response to the mobilization of spiritual power at the first time they encountered danger, and they had not encountered such a situation for many years, and they didn't know what to do. So he panicked and became food for the beasts. The stronger the strength, the stronger the dependence on spiritual power. If you can break through the royal realm and master the power of the strongest law between heaven and earth, you can truly control your destiny.
He walked forward with his body on his back, his face smeared with the juice of various shredded blades of grass, and some blades of grass pinned to his head and body. Nervous, highly nervous to observe everything around him. After making sure that one place is safe, they rush to the next place as quickly as possible, and then continue to hide.
"Don't think that all caution is superfluous, you only have one life. One small mistake can cost you your life. "These are the life-saving means given to him by the eldest brother and others, Ling Chen has always kept in mind. It's a pity that the medicine jar didn't give him anything more, and it is said that there are some medicinal powders that can completely erase the smell, which is very useful here.
Prostrate on the ground, Ling Chen pressed his ears to the ground, carefully listening to the vibration of the ground everywhere. This method is said to be able to hear movement several miles away, which is much stronger than Ling Chen's mental power can cover a range of one or two meters around his body. But Ling Chen is only a half-ass, and the subtle movements such as the wind and grass must not be audible, but the vibration of the ground is real, and it is enough to be able to distinguish a general direction. Every acquired skill requires a long period of training to be perfected, and the genius who can say it is too vain and generally only exists in novels.
In the middle of spring, everything grows wildly, let alone in this dense primeval forest. Cautious all the way, passing through the area where the incident occurred, Ling Chen could still see the shadows of some strange beasts in the dark. Open your bloody mouth and enjoy the gluttonous feast that falls from the sky. This was a bloody massacre, Ling Chen had grown up so big, and it was the first time he saw the scene of a beast eating people, and his face looked a little ugly for a while. A large breath of blood rushed to the face, and looking at the scene in front of me was simply disgusting.
"Live. ”
"Live. ”
Ling Chen repeated this sentence over and over again in his heart, using it to numb his mind and expel this resistance from his stomach and the fear, nervousness, and uneasiness he was currently expelling. After some adjustment, Ling Chen began to move his body cautiously, slowly retreating, preparing to go around from other directions. Fine beads of sweat covered Ling Chen's forehead, and after running for a long time, some of them had begun to become dehydrated, and his lips were dry and white. Staring at the shadows of several strange beasts in the distance, after making sure that the other party would not find out, Ling Chen turned around decisively and disappeared into the depths of the jungle.
Walk through the dense forest, looking for a way in the absence of roads. Of course, it would be best if you could overcome all obstacles, but now you can't even do it, or you dare not do it. The whereabouts of the beast are unknown, but they are swift and sensitive, and the number is unknown, but it is estimated that there are at least thirty or more. In normal times, a team of seventy or eighty people would be enough to dissolve it with a single hand. But without spiritual power, in the face of the people who rely on it, they are more panicked, they don't unite at the first time, and they miss the fleeting opportunity, so they can only flee in defeat.
"Huh, there's a fragrance?" Ling Chen was on his way through when he suddenly smelled a different fragrance, and he didn't feel a trace of surprise in his heart. In the wilderness, a fragrance inexplicably appeared, Ling Chen was puzzled in his heart, and a vigilance gradually rose.
Pushing aside a dense bush in front of him, the scene in front of him simply made Ling Chen's eyes dumbfounded. As far as the eye can see, there is a sea of flowers, a snow-white. Pieces of tiny white petals, like snowflakes, fluttered and fell. The petals dance with the wind, the posture is graceful, and it makes people feel like a spring breeze.
There are such flowers, fresh and elegant, pleasing to the eye. This is the only kind of flower that occupies the entire territory and competes to bloom. When the eyes are full, there are only green leaves and white flowers. Such a beautiful and dreamy scene makes it impossible for people to think that it is in this primeval forest. One moment it is full of thorns and hell Shura, and the next moment flowers are blooming and the world is wonderland. Is that what the so-called extreme of things must be opposed?
Ling Chen's eyes changed from initial shock and confusion to obsession and greed. He moved forward step by step, reaching out his hand, as if trying to touch the petals that fell like snowflakes. A refreshing fragrance reaches the heart, making people feel fresh and pleasant. All the troubles and discomforts are thrown out of the clouds. The wings of the nose are expanded to the maximum, and they greedily inhale the alluring floral scent. The fingers were about to touch the white petals, which were pitiful, but I couldn't help but want to play with them.
"Ding. ”
It was as if a drop of cold rain had fallen on Ling Chen's heart, making Ling Chen feel like falling into an ice cellar, instantly sober, and cold sweat broke out. The vest was full of sweat, and the sweat on his forehead also fell in large drops. The placket was completely wet, as if it had just been fished out of the water.
Ling Chen's lips were snow-white and bloodless. After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, my mouth was completely dry, and when I swallowed it, my throat was too dry, and it seemed painful to cut it. Taking a few big breaths of air, Ling Chen took out the water bag from the storage ring and poured a few mouthfuls of water to keep his mind sober and sober. After shaking his head vigorously a few more times, Ling Chen was able to continue to look at the scene in front of him.
The white flowers in full bloom are still dreamlike and pleasing to the eye. But the thick vines beneath the flowers had never been seen before. The sharp thorns on the vines look simple and quaint, but they send chills down the spine. The sharp thorns have a purple-black color, and they are highly toxic when you think about them with your feet. Such a bright color, but people were forgotten for the first time, and they noticed the petals flying like snow. It appears that the white petals contain something that paralyzes people's consciousness, causing people to hallucinate, and thus die from the poisonous stinger.
Tearing a piece of silk off the placket of his shirt, soaking it in water, Ling Chen stuffed it into both nostrils. Although he didn't know why he suddenly came to his senses in this situation, in order to prevent another stroke, plugging his nostrils was the best option. Hallucinogenic smells are transmitted from the nose to the brain, and then paralyzed the spirit. had already been carelessly tricked just now, Ling Chen didn't believe that he could be so lucky every time.
There is only one plant here, which is very monotonous. Without the paralysis of hallucination, the real environment seems eerie. Vines and flowers shade the sky, with only a few rays of sunlight occasionally. Compared to the darkness in the Night Forest, this place is so much better. During the more than a month he stayed there, after coming out, Ling Chen felt as if his eyes had deteriorated, and it took many days to gradually adapt to the warm sun. Now the environment here makes him feel familiar again, but the people behind him are no longer around, and now he can only survive on his own.
Ling Chen roughly estimated the time, and half an hour had passed. Ning Yuanru was still waiting for him on the other side, and he had to speed up the time to find Wang Qingyun and the others. Otherwise, he will face the embarrassing situation of ignoring the head and tail at that time, which Ling Chen does not want to see.
Moving on, Ling Chen quickened his pace. There was no deviation all the way, and Ling Chen was sure that Wang Qingyun and the other three were here. There are many dangers here, and if he plans for the worst, Ling Chen will have to see the corpse. Until Ling Chen really saw a corpse.
Looking at the costumes, you can determine that they are students from other colleges, and the whole person has been pierced by thorns and nailed to the bushes. There was a pool of black blood flowing from beneath the corpse, and it was still converging. The flesh and blood are already beginning to melt, and at a glance you know that you are dead, and there is no good intention to collect the corpse here. Ling Chen frowned tightly, and watched from a distance, without the desire to investigate and other thoughts. It seems that this thorn is not only toxic, but also highly corrosive. Fortunately, his nostrils were blocked, and if he smelled some strange rancid smell, Ling Chen's stomach would definitely not be able to adapt to it.
After already knowing where the danger came from, Ling Chen's heart was roughly settled. The most dangerous thing is not the danger, but the fact that you don't know the crisis in the shadows, and you can return to the world the next moment. At least here, there are no alien beasts attacking.
Suppressing the discomfort in his heart, Ling Chen continued to walk forward, and after seeing this corpse, he became even more convinced that Wang Qingyun and the others were in front of him.
