Chapter 21: The Great Forest of Thorns
On Thorn Island, there are two towns and more than a dozen small villages. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The town with the Contractor's Supply Center is called Breeze Town. It is a beautiful environment, without too much hustle and bustle, and it is very suitable for living.
In addition to the Contractor Supply Center, there are many parks, botanical gardens, and other facilities in Qingfeng Town, one of which is the insect garden, which is the place where the insect trapping tournament is held every year.
"This is the Worm Garden?"
When it came to the day of the insect trapping conference, Zhou Chen also came to the competition venue early.
"Turn off the navigation system. ”
Zhou Chen turned off the voice control of the map of the virtual imaging of the watch, and then did not rush in, but walked to a large introduction board first and checked the basic information of the insect garden.
This insect garden occupies a large area and contains a variety of terrains, making it rich and diverse. Whether it is an ordinary insect or an insect monster, the common and uncommon can almost be found in it.
"Hello, if you want to attend the insect trapping conference, please enter, there will be a special person in charge to explain the conference to you. ”
The gate guard of the insect garden, when he saw the watch in Zhou Chen's hand, his eyes flashed with envy, and he took a few steps forward and said to Zhou Chen.
"Hmm. ”
Zhou Chen nodded at him and walked into the insect garden.
As soon as you enter, the first thing you see is a huge circular fountain. On the left and right sides of the fountain, two groups of people gathered.
The group on the left, there were not many of them, about fifty people, all of them were contractors.
They are both male and female, and most are very young, between the ages of 12 and 18. The rest, there are people in their 20s and 30s, but only a few. They all wore contractor's watches, and almost all of them had a monster with them.
The group on the right is much larger, obviously ordinary people. They mainly come to see the excitement, or to cheer for a contractor.
Zhou Chen had no intention of participating in the insect hunting conference, because he didn't have a demon pet yet, so he walked among the group of ordinary people and prepared to be a spectator.
"Huh, the silver-haired boy?"
When Zhou Chen looked at the group of contractors who were preparing to participate in the competition again, he found the boy with the blood-sucking bat.
Not surprisingly, the boy was not a native of Thorn Island, and had apparently come to the island to attend the insect trap.
At this time, there was a person in charge of the conference, who was talking to the contestants about the rules of the competition. At the same time, there are also two employees of the Worm Garden, handing out special helmets to the contractors.
Since there will inevitably be various aggressive flying insects in the insect garden, wearing a helmet is to ensure the safety of the participants. In addition, a camera is installed on each helmet that can be used to monitor the progress of the participants. At the start of the game, there will be a large electronic screen on the side of the fountain, which will broadcast the game live.
After about 10 minutes, the insect trap officially began.
One by one, the contractors rushed out against time and marched towards the depths of the insect garden.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the competition will be broadcast live on the electronic screen, please cheer for the participants enthusiastically!"
As the person in charge said this, he pressed a remote control in his hand, and a huge electronic screen set up on the edge of the circular pool was also activated.
On the screen, the scene transitions quickly. Sometimes it's through the camera at all over the worm park, and sometimes it's from the camera on the contestant's helmet.
"Wow! What did we see? Contestant No. 16 was really lucky, he actually encountered a snake scale insect at the beginning of the competition! This is a rare C-level monster! It's definitely not a species that can be encountered casually!"
"Oh wait! I just got a backstage message that contestant number 2 seems to be in trouble, let's switch the perspective and see what he's up to...... Oh my God! Contest 2 seems to have stepped into a small mire, and his legs can't seem to be pulled out, and I guess this quagmire must be very deep!"
The person in charge of the conference, who was black and spoke English, was now acting as a live commentator and began to stir up the atmosphere for the audience.
"Let's take a look at contestant No. 8, she's a female contestant, but she's also clearly a belligerent, and she started her first fight so quickly. Her partner is the Blue Feather Duck, and her opponent is a spiked worm! Everyone may know that the Blue Feather Duck usually eats insect monsters, and the No. 8 contestant has an absolute advantage!"
"Let's go back and look at the No. 2 contestant, he hasn't gotten out of the trap yet, he's stuck deeper in the mire. If he's not ready to give up and ask for help from our staff, I'd suggest he try pinching his ears and pulling himself out of the mire. ”
The person in charge told a little joke, although it was not funny, but it still made many viewers feel emotional, they began to shout cheers, and some people whistled as soon as they were excited.
Zhou Chen was among them, and felt that the scene was too noisy, so he shook his head and got up to leave.
He has seen the insect trapping conference, and that is enough, there is no need to watch the whole thing there.
The insect trap lasts all day, starting at 6 a.m. and ending at 2 p.m., after all, most insects and monsters are infested at night.
Zhou Chen didn't want to really stay in the insect garden until 2 o'clock.
He left the Worm Garden and began to walk towards the Contractor's Supply Center. He was going back to get his backpack, take the field supplies he had bought in Qingfeng Town for the past two days, and prepare to go into the forest to catch the demon beasts.
On Thorn Island, the forest area accounts for eighty percent of the entire island, and it is better on the periphery, if you go deeper, it is definitely dangerous, and from time to time you will encounter some powerful demon beasts.
Therefore, for the safety of the island's residents, there are high-level contractors on Thorn Island all year round, but they don't usually come forward.
When Zhou Chen came out of the supply center again, he was already fully armed.
Despite the heat of the Thorn Isles, he wore long trousers and was dressed tightly. In addition, his backpack is also bulging, and it seems to contain a lot of things, which is quite heavy.
It's just that these are nothing to Zhou Chen. His current physique has surpassed ordinary people by too much, and if you have to compare, it is equivalent to the physical strength of a three-star demon beast.
It is precisely because of this that he has the confidence to enter the mountains alone to seek his first demon pet.
It was a long way from the supply center to outside the town, and Zhou Chen didn't want to waste time, so he prepared to take the bus directly to the nearest stop near the forest.
According to the information on the official website of Thorn Island, this forest is called the Great Forest of Thorns, and the variety of monsters in it is abnormal, making it an excellent place for contractors to capture demon pets. It's just that powerful monsters will appear in the depths of the forest, endangering the life of the contractor, so it is not recommended to go too deep.
Zhou Chen just came to catch the first demon pet, so naturally he would not be overwhelmed and ran into the depths of the forest.
Moreover, he only has a star mark on his hand, and he can only conclude a contract with a one-star demon beast at present. This corresponds to each other, and only after he is promoted to a two-star contractor and has a second star mark can he be qualified to subdue a two-star demon beast.
"There's no way, I can only catch one-star demon beasts, and then rely on me to cultivate them. ”
Zhou Chen was planning in his heart, and his feet did not stop, he walked to the station across the street, and quickly waited for the vehicle.
After dozens of minutes, Zhou Chen got out of the car, and after walking a short distance, he stepped into the thorny forest.
