Chapter 66: Mutation
Fengyun walked into the forest, found a water vine, and rinsed the nailheads that had fallen into a coma, removing the flesh and blood of the blackthorn beasts from their bodies.
A large leaf was plucked, the cleaned nail head worm was placed on it, wrapped, and came out of the forest.
Set aside the leaves wrapped in the nail beetle.
Fengyun went to find some dead grass and rubbed it until it resembled cotton wool before stopping.
Shake it and shake the crumbs off.
Fengyun opened the leaves, placed the kneaded dead grass on top of the nailhead, and kept rubbing it to allow the dead grass to fully contact the nailhead.
After kneading for about five minutes, Fengyun stopped and cleared the nail beetle from the dead grass.
I put the dead grass under my nose and smelled it, and the smell was quite strong.
Fengyun nodded, revealing a slight smile.
Throwing away the nailhead worm, he took the dead grass and ran towards the Bone Forest.
In the process of rubbing just now, he had already used his skill to kill them all.
They look intact on the outside, but on the inside they have long since turned into paste.
When he got close to the Bone Grove, Fengyun didn't go in immediately.
He cut some thin canes with his knife and divided the dry grass into four parts, two large and two small.
Two large ones were tied to the ankles with rattan sticks, and two smaller ones were tied to the wrists.
Approaching the Forest of Bones, Fengyun hesitated, but he walked over anyway.
As he advanced, his eyes fixed on the ground in front of him.
Three zhang, two zhang......
Fengyun approached the Bone Forest step by step, and there was nothing unusual about it.
When I finally stepped into the Forest of Bones, there was still no movement on the ground.
"It worked!"
Fengyun let out a cloudy breath and relaxed.
Although he had tested that the Nailhead would not be able to break through his defenses, if he entered the Bone Forest, the Nailhead would attack him in swarm.
Just the thought of countless nail heads pounced on him made his scalp tingle.
To avoid this, he decided to think of a solution.
He remembered the means of concealment that Professor Tyrant had given him.
One of them is one that can use the juice of plants or the bodily fluids of brute beasts to cover its breath.
He decided to give it a try.
Many bugs are used to smell each other to determine whether they belong to the same race.
If he could fool the peeheads into believing him to be their kind, he wouldn't be attacked when he entered the Bone Grove.
It just so happened that he had a lot of nailheads on hand, and he could extract the scent of the nailheads from them.
He didn't think he would succeed in doing this, and if he didn't, he would have to break through, but the result was very gratifying to him, and he deceived the nailhead.
After entering the Forest of Bones, Fengyun immediately chose a direction and ran over.
In his experience, once the smell is detached from its body, it generally decays.
He wasn't sure how long the smell of pegheads stained with dead grass could have been there.
If he didn't get the materials to make spears and javelins before the smell waned to a critical point, and leave the Bone Grove, he would still be besieged by the Spikes.
This is definitely not what he wants to see.
However, Fengyun is not very worried.
He's different from the others.
While others need to try their luck or try a lot of things to find what they want, he can just lock onto the target.
Dead trees that have not changed and dead trees that have changed in the Bone Forest will have a difference in temperature when exposed to sunlight.
Although the difference is not too big, Fengyun can still distinguish them through the Eye of the Serpent God.
According to the memory in his brain, Fengyun soon approached the first goal.
It was a dead tree that looked almost indistinguishable from other dead trees, its outer bark had long since fallen off, and the surface had shown signs of severe erosion.
Fengyun took out the king beast tooth knife, bent down, touched the ground, and slashed it over.
The dead tree was cut off, but the knife slowed down in the process of severing it.
"It's so sturdy!"
Fengyun nodded secretly.
Although he didn't use much force when cutting down the dead tree, with the sharpness of the King Beast Tooth Knife, it was enough to make it suffer some resistance, which was enough to show that it was not simple.
According to his preliminary estimate, its hardness should exceed that of the Intermediate Brute Beast Bone, and even if it did not reach the level of the High-grade Brute Beast Bone, it was definitely not far behind.
Sticking the king beast tooth knife into his waist, Fengyun reached out with both hands, grabbed the dead tree, put it down, and went to see its roots.
Its exterior is shaded by ordinary wood, so you can't see what it looks like after the changes on the inside, but you can see it at a glance from the roots.
The heart of the wood that catches the view of the wind and clouds is not much like wood, but more like jade, delicate, dense, and even somewhat transparent.
Weighing it in his hand, it weighed a lot heavier than an ordinary tree, and it was not much different from a stone pillar of the same thickness.
The changing core of the tree is only the thickness of an egg, and if you remove the parts that have not changed, it should weigh much heavier than a stone of the same volume.
With a strong finger, Fengyun's five fingers passed directly through the unchanged part, grabbed the center of the tree, and then he made a throwing motion.
The whole tree flew out at once, swept a distance of a hundred feet, and stuck on a large rock outside the bone forest.
Fengyun immediately rushed to the second target, which was about the same as the first dead tree.
He did the same, cutting it off and throwing it out of the Bone Grove.
Over the next quarter of an hour, he had more than twenty mutated dead trees, but there wasn't much of a smile on his face.
The mutated dead trees he acquired were similar to the first, and some were even worse.
It was far from satisfying his appetite.
Looking at the new target not far away, Fengyun's spirit lifted.
This mutant dead tree wasn't quite the same as the one he had acquired before, at least it was much thicker than all of them.
The thickest of the mutant dead trees he had obtained before was only the thickness of his thighs, but this one was obviously much larger, and it was almost up to the waist of a man, and it was also the waist of a strong man.
Without hesitation, Fengyun picked up the king beast tooth knife and cut it over.
Swept by.
Fengyun's face couldn't help but be a little ugly.
When the blade cut through, it didn't encounter any obvious resistance, less than the resistance he had encountered when he cut down the mutated dead trees before.
"Is it just a superficial appearance, but it looks thicker?"
Fengyun was a little disappointed, but he decided to cut it off anyway.
When the blade skimmed over the heart of the tree, the gloom on Fengyun's face finally lifted.
He finally felt resistance, more than any mutated dead tree he had cut down before.
However, he was still a little disappointed, and the result was still a little worse than he expected.
Judging by the resistance, it should have reached the level of a high-level brute bone, but it was not the top of the high-level brute, and he wanted better.
With his current strength, urging all the totemic power, a weapon made of high-grade brute bones may not be able to withstand his destruction.
"You can't be too greedy, it's already much better than the original spear. ”
Fengyun comforted himself as he brought down the mutant dead tree, and found that there were some new changes in its heart, it became more transparent, and the wood grain was clearer.
Looking at the edge of the Bone Forest and measuring the distance, Fengyun took a deep breath, grabbed the mutant tree with both hands, and threw it with all his might.
Fengyun's feet sank directly into the ground, reaching his knees, while the mutant tree swept a distance of nearly three hundred zhang and slammed headlong into the edge of the Bone Forest, smashing a large hole in the ground.
The mutant tree swept across the sky with a muffled roar of thunder, and a trench visible to the naked eye appeared on the ground.
This is still Fengyun, in order to reduce the damage to the ground, deliberately made the flight trajectory distance of the mutant tree relatively high.
Fengyun gently pulled his foot out of the ground, and was relieved to see that the dead grass tied to his ankle did not fall off.
The throw just now was actually what he wanted to test how much his physical fitness had improved after he had eaten the mallet.
He was happy with the results, which were a little better than he expected.
You must know that he only relied on the power of his flesh/body to throw the mutant tree just now, and he did not urge the power of the totem, and it is not his limit, which is already very remarkable.
"Hopefully the last one will bring me some surprises. ”
Fengyun ran towards the last target.
He was about to cut down the mutated dead tree and leave the Bone Grove.
That's not to say that there was only one last mutated dead tree left in the Forest of Bones, there were many.
He wasn't prepared to do anything to them, though.
By comparing the subtle differences in temperature that appear in the sunlight, he can already roughly tell the difference in their mutation with the help of the Snake God's Eye.
The mutated dead trees he had cut down were probably among the best in the Bone Forest.
Of course, he can't guarantee 100% accuracy.
To know the exact results, you need to cut down all the mutant bitter trees and look at them to be sure, but this is obviously not realistic.
Wu had warned him that the Snake God Mountain was the territory of the Flame Snake, and the tribe was strictly only a guest.
Tribes can obtain resources for survival from the Snake God Mountain, but they must not take them indefinitely, or even lead to the extinction of a certain species, or the depletion of a certain resource.
Fengyun was a little skeptical about Wu's warning, because no one had ever really seen the Flame Snake, except for the legendary ancestor of the tribe.
However, he was still reluctant to take any chances, in case the legends about the Flame Snake were true, the consequences of angering the Flame Snake would be absolutely devastating.
The materials used to make spears and javelins in the Forest of Bones were good, but they weren't worth the risk, especially since he had already gotten the best of them.
After a while, Fengyun came to the last mutated dead tree he wanted to cut down.
He didn't cut it down in the first place, but looked at it first.
He didn't do it because it was the last one he was going to cut down, or because it was taller than the mutant dead trees he had cut down before, and it was only medium compared to them.
The real reason why he would do this was that when he saw it through the Eye of the Serpent God, it gave him a different feeling, and he couldn't say what was different.
