Chapter 199: The Heart of the Black Forest
"It's a big problem now......"
Qi Lin swung the bone blade from the top of his head, cutting a rattan net flying from nowhere in half from the middle, but in the next moment, more branches and vines immediately attacked him.
The attack of the Black Forest can be said to be 360 degrees without dead ends, not only from all directions, but also from the top of the head and under the feet, you must always pay attention to it, and you may not know when a thick tree root with poisonous wood thorns will emerge from the ground, and you may know when a sharp branch will fall from the crown overhead.
Despite having a very fast recovery physique, Qi Lin also felt a little exhausted, this was not only a test of physical fitness, but his attention must also be improved at the highest alert state at all times, otherwise, if he was not careful, he would immediately fall into a situation from which he could not recover.
Twenty minutes in the Black Forest was more exhausting than fighting for a day and a night on the worst battlefield in the Middle East—it was too difficult to fight the entire forest with one man.
"Master, watch the back!"
Qi Lin hurriedly turned around, and in the gap between the trunks of the tree, a particularly long vine swept over, and at the end of the vine, there was an earthy yellow spherical object the size of a watermelon, composed of dirt and secretions.
When the vine swung to the highest point, it suddenly broke open from the middle, and the spherical object at the end flew straight towards Qi Lin under the action of inertia!
At this time, Qi Lin recognized the true face of the spherical object.
"Grass! It's a hive of alienated killer bees! ”
Alienated killer bees,It is one of the more common companion mutant creatures in the Black Forest,This is also one of the few insect mutant creatures that have not become larger after being mutated by radiation,However,Each of the killer bees that are only the size of a thumb has an elite creature rating,Stronger than steel body plus deadly stinger,When more than fifty killer bees gather together,It is completely easy to kill an F-class mutant creature,And a whole nest of killer bees has thousands of them,This number makes people's scalp tingle, Even if it's an E-class guy, you have to take a detour when you see it!
Seeing the beehive smashing over, Qi Lin did not hesitate, quickly tore off the corner of his clothes, soaked it with a bottle of mineral water he carried with him, covered his mouth and nose, and finally, took out an anti-riot smoke bomb with tear gas added, pulled the pull ring, and smashed it hard under his feet-
A large amount of irritating smoke erupted from the small metal can, and Qi Lin only felt a hot sensation on his exposed skin and eyes, and those pervasive gases were still drilling down various gaps towards his eyes, ears, mouth and nose.
"Ahem, ahem—"
While coughing, Qi Lin struggled to swing his bone blade in the smoke, and continued to open up a route forward - although smoke and fire are effective means to drive away the killer bees, but tear gas can't kill the mutated killer bees at all, if you don't leave here quickly, when the smoke clears, as long as you give the bee colony a minute, you can turn Qi Lin from a big living person with flesh and blood into a clean skeleton.
Qi Lin didn't have the special ability of a worm master, and he had no way to deal with such a large number of insects with no obvious weaknesses, and in front of the terrifying swarm, he was left with only the right thing to escape.
In addition to killer bees, there are also many beetles that come out of the soil, although these insects are not as deadly as killer bees, but they also cause a lot of trouble to Qi Lin.
From plants to animals, from the sky to the ground, the heavy killing intent of the Black Forest has completely wrapped Qi Lin, and in the eyes of this Black Forest, the current Qi Lin is just a fresh prey struggling to death.
With another injection of stimulant, Qi Lin's speed and strength in swinging the bone blade increased a few more points, and finally, before the choking smoke cleared, he barely left the area where the bee colony was raging.
"Cooper, if you continue like this, sooner or later you will have to die alive in the woods...... Anyway, is there anything you can do? The kind of dead horse that is a live horse doctor is fine! Qi Lin's legs seemed to be filled with lead, and every step was extremely heavy, but he still needed to keep stomping his feet to shake down and crush those beetles that climbed up, otherwise, his current body would probably have been crawling with the kind of black insects with sharp mouthparts.
"Based on my observations...... I don't know the owner, have you found a problem......? Cooper said.
"When is it, don't sell it, if you have something to say!" Qi Lin roared loudly as he fought fiercely with the trees.
"This Black Forest grows in less than an hour, and it stands to reason that each tree should be an independent new creature, but judging from the high degree of coordination and coordination of various attacks, this Black Forest seems to be a whole-"
"You mean—they—these trees—consciousness sharing?!" Qi Lin struggled to decipher the meaning of Cooper's words.
"No, there is still too little knowledge and intelligence about the Black Forest in the wasteland, and according to my speculation, it is likely that this Black Forest has a common body of consciousness, or rather, I should call it a Black Forest, not a Black Forest."
"Conscious subject? What do you mean? Qi Lin shook the bone blade outward with force in his hand, but the sticky corrosive sap on it was like an appendage, and it couldn't get rid of much at all, compared to when it was just summoned, the thickness and width of the bone blade were now less than half.
"I mean, these trees are actually the same tree, and what you're facing, master, has always been an enemy except for those bugs."
"What the hell is that!" Qi Lin scolded.
"However, that consciousness subject must have a core carrier, that is to say, this Black Forest has a 'heart', as long as the master can find a way to break that 'heart', you can completely kill this Black Forest."
"'Heart'?! Cooper, your analysis is wonderful, but even if there is such a thing, it must be hidden in the depths of the Black Forest, and I chose the wrong direction to break through from the beginning! ”
The bone blade that was originally in the form of a Tang horizontal knife was now almost a short blade of less than two feet left, and Qi Lin had to pull out the other spare serrated dagger as well, holding the two knives to deal with those overwhelming vines and branches.
"No, although I can't tell your direction by the magnetic field, I have recorded the deflection angle of each step you take with the device on your wrist, and according to my calculations, you have made a hundred and eighty-degree bend in the forest, and this direction in front of you is the original core of this Black Forest."
