Any primeval forest that has existed for thousands of years without human interference will inevitably live with a wide variety of animals and plants, many of which will be rare and dangerous. They live together in this forest, following the most authentic law of the jungle, and in order to be able to eat others, or in order not to be eaten, these creatures must evolve some unique and practical housekeeping skills. For example, a body that can tolerate temperature changes, colors that can blend in with the environment, deadly toxicity, keen perception, and so on.

The so-called survival of the fittest, the species that survive for thousands of years, must be some powerful goods.

This is still the case in the real world, and in this fantasy world, it seems that nothing appears in this vast jungle. Not to mention animals, even those colorful plants may be in mortal danger.

The strength of the two-headed snake was not very strong, but its poison was very tricky, and several people did not provoke it, but chose to avoid it, and then continued to march in the direction of the primordial ancient tree.

As we walked on, some sturdier and taller trees appeared, each of which was at least as thick as two people hugging each other, and the height was about seventeen or eighteen meters.

Some animals were alert to the approaching of this group of powerful humans and avoided them in advance, while others were quietly lurking, either hiding or waiting for an opportunity.

Jiang Ling spread his mental power and carefully scouted the surroundings, but in just ten minutes, Jiang Ling found a spider the size of a basin and covered with fluff, a moth that was very similar in color to a tree trunk and was completely unrecognizable to the naked eye, a squirrel that was so fast that even he could hardly see with the naked eye, and several poisonous snakes coiled on branches or hidden among fallen leaves.

Fortunately, these things are not a threat to the group of people who have cultivated to be strong, and they can bypass it, but they are really not long-sighted roadblockers, so they have to "persuade them to retreat".

Jiang Ling was a little strange in his heart, that is, when he watched the battlefield preview, the camera rose very high at the end, giving a large field of vision, but in that field of vision, he didn't notice that there was a different tree anywhere.

At that time, Jiang Ling had been locating the location of the Bailing Valley and the Divine Court and other people in his heart, and he didn't have time to look at other places carefully, and the trees were dense, so there was indeed a possibility of missing it.

It stands to reason that the primordial ancient tree, as a legendary existence, should be taller and denser than other trees and can be recognized at a glance, right?

Jiang Ling asked Shimakawa Qin in a low voice: "In the battlefield preview, have you noticed the location of the Taichu Ancient Tree?" ”

Shimakawa shook his head and said, "I didn't notice." ”

Jiang Ling went to ask Wei Zhong, and Wei Zhong said: "I haven't seen the primordial ancient tree, and I don't know what it looks like, now I'm looking for the location of the primordial ancient tree according to some notes left by the predecessors of Bailing Valley." ”

Jiang Ling looked at Chi Chengyan again, the Grass and Tree Hall Master whose strength could rank in the top ten in Bailing Valley only smiled bitterly and said: "There is very little information about the Taichu Ancient Tree in our Bailing Valley, just a rough idea, after all, there are also many dangers in this Tiancheng Mountain Range, especially near the Taichu Ancient Tree, which is also a dangerous place that is not inferior to the Midnight Forest, there are very few people who have really seen the Taichu Ancient Tree, and only 12/12 can get out of this mountain range alive." If it weren't for the serious injuries of the valley master, we wouldn't have taken this risk with our juniors. ”

When Jiang Ling heard this, he turned to ask, "The Lord of Bailing Valley is seriously injured, and the Divine Court is bound to take this opportunity to wantonly suppress the Divine Beings and Bailing Valley, right?" ”

Wei Zhong nodded, but said calmly: "Of course, but in these few battles, we have also severely damaged the Divine Court, the injury of the Divine Court Master of Yuhua City is by no means lighter than that of the Valley Lord, the Divine Court Master of Xingkang City was also frustrated in a big battle half a month ago, several Divine Courts in the Mingxi Kingdom, the Houshu Kingdom, and the Lanyin Kingdom have suffered serious losses, and the Si Ming has already lost six of them. ”

"So after I found out that you had entered the mountain, I couldn't wait to chase after you." Jiang Ling muttered like this, and Wei Zhong could only smile bitterly and nod at this.

Jiang Ling glanced at the back, wondering if he could reach the Taichu Ancient Tree before the people of the Divine Court caught up.

The main quest he just received, in terms of rewards and mission content, Jiang Ling speculated that this should only be a phased task, and after reaching the Taichu Ancient Tree, there will be follow-up mission updates.

If you can reach the Primal Ancient Tree before the people of the Divine Court catch up and get the juice, it will naturally be the best. First, no matter whether you win or lose, at least you get some of the points first. Second, it is not yet confirmed what kind of virtue the black calamity divine bird is, but it is inevitable that it will be strong, but fortunately, this bird is tolerant of young people, and can let these young disciples of Bailing Valley go to fetch the juice. However, if he had fought with the Divine Court before reaching the Primal Ancient Tree, he didn't know how many disciples of Bailing Valley would have died at that time. Moreover, after the battle, even if they are victorious, the strength of Ji Chengyan and Wei Zhong will be damaged, and if the black bird 'unruly' launches a madness today, it will be difficult for them to deal with it.

Only by rushing to the Primal Ancient Tree before the Divine Court, getting the juice, and then concentrating on escaping, the difficulty is naturally relatively easy.

"Let's speed things up a little bit." Jiang Ling told Wei Zhong what he thought.

Wei Zhong nodded and agreed with Jiang Ling's opinion, but he didn't dare to move forward in a galloping attitude, but his pace was a little tighter.

Wei Zhong said: "Although we can use our telekinesis to scout the surroundings, there are some strange animals that can avoid telekinesis detection, and the closer you get to the primordial ancient tree, the more dangerous it is, so after all, we still have to be careful and can't move forward at full speed." ”

"Okay." Jiang Ling responded.

Without waiting for Jiang Ling to continue to suffer anything, Wei Zhong's eyes suddenly condensed, looked to the left front, and motioned for the surroundings to stop for the time being.

Jiang Ling also turned his head to look at it while sending his telekinesis out.

Xi Jiu also squinted her eyes, and she saw that under the tree not far away, there was a plant that was only half a meter high, and the plant only had a slender stem, and a fist-sized, bright red fruit was on the top.

The fruit was ruddy in color and crystal clear, like a ruby, and it looked so full and juicy that I wanted to pick it and eat it.

"What kind of fruit is that?" Xi Jiu asked curiously.

Jiang Ling's face changed slightly, and he shook his head and said, "That's not a fruit." ”

"What is not a fruit?" Xi Jiu asked puzzled.

"That's the Crimson Hidden Beast." Wei Zhong hesitated for a moment and said, "That fruit is highly poisonous, but his gall is a very precious medicinal material, and it can also be removed." ”

"Guts? Does this thing have the guts? Xi Jiu pointed to the plant, confused.

[Obtain Side Quest: The Guts of the Crimson Hidden Beast]

[Difficulty: Average]

[Quest content: Kill the Red Hidden Beast and take its gall. 】

【Reward: 50 points】

[Note: The Red Hidden Beast is a rare beast, and in fact, many people who have seen it have also been deceived by its appearance. Its gall is a precious medicinal material, please help Wei Zhong take it down. 】

"Yo, there's still side quests to do." Xi Jiu muttered in surprise, then looked at Jiang Ling and said, "Don't sell Guanzi, the tasks have been issued, whether it is a fruit or a beast, we all have to do it." ”

"Is it easy to deal with?" Jiang Ling asked Wei Zhong.

Wei Zhong frowned slightly and said, "I've only seen relevant records in books, and it is said that the strongest Red Hidden Beast is comparable in strength to the powerhouses of the Heavenly Transformation Upper Realm." ”

"Hey, it's all so strong, and they still retain such obscene hunting methods." Jiang Ling touched his chin and said, "Look at this posture, if we don't go over, won't it move?" ”

"Hey, it's clear that the side quests have been issued, why don't you do it?" Xi Jiu asked puzzled.

Jiang Ling replied: "After all, it's a side quest, you can do it or not, 50 points can only be said to be like that, this guy can't be cleaned up, the problem is that I'm afraid that killing too many creatures in this forest will make the black bird unhappy." I'm afraid that the system didn't dig a hole for us. ”

Hearing this, Shimakawa Qin also nodded, expressing his agreement with Jiang Ling's statement, Xi Jiu glared at him and said angrily: "But why haven't I seen it, where is the beast?" ”

......

"Don't do it? This is a side quest. The person who spoke was a young man, he was dark-skinned, very thin, and even had a skinny feeling. On his left ear hung a milky white scale, the size of a thumb, that looked like a shell.

At this time, he looked at the red fruit in the distance, and asked the man next to him very suspiciously.

"You can do it, but first, I'm afraid of delaying time, and second, I'm afraid that it will provoke the dissatisfaction of the black bird, so it's better to be careful." The man replied.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, and you can do whatever you want." This black guy has an inexplicable sense of rhythm when he speaks, even if the system automatically translates the English he speaks into Chinese.

Here he then asked curiously, "But why is it called the Red Hidden Beast?" It's a fucking fruit. "When he swears, the rhythm is even more pronounced...

The teammate beside him frowned slightly, and said, "It's a master of camouflage, and that fruit is just a means he uses to lure the enemy." ”

"Oh, I can't see its true face, I'm so unwilling." The black master babbled.

Here, the Divine Court Si Ming Tan Jiu Si glanced at it and said, "If you can solve it quickly and silently, it doesn't matter, you won't alarm the Black Evil Bird, and don't delay our action." ”

"In that case—" The player turned his head to look at the fruit ten meters away.

In the ranks of the Divine Court, there was a young man with a long sword at his waist, he glanced indifferently at the green-robed Skywalker, and reminded: "The strength of that Red Hidden Beast is not inferior to the master of the Heavenly Transformation Upper Realm, don't underestimate it..."

Before he could finish speaking, the green-robed man had already raised his hand and suddenly tapped it in the direction of the fruit.

The black player hurriedly looked at it, and he thought that this finger would pick the fruit off, or just burst it.

But the fruit did not change, but the ground beneath the fruit changed.

The soft soil below suddenly tumbled, and something the size of a buffalo burst out of the ground!

It was a lizard-like thing, and the plant that bore fruit was not a plant at all, but a special tentacle on its forehead!

This huge lizard is grayish-brown all over, and easily blends in with the deciduous and withered grass around it, and now it looks hideous and terrifying, with solid scales on its body, sharp fangs, and sticky and cloudy saliva on its teeth.

"It's a god thing!" The black guy was startled.

And the green-robed man just pressed down with his palm, and then his five fingers formed a hook, and Huo Ran clenched it.

There was a crunch click.

The Crimson Hidden Beast stiffened, then collapsed limply.

From being forced out of the ground to falling to the ground in a fit of rage, he didn't even let out a scream.
