016 Eerie Gravity Forest
Packed with their backpacks and dry food, Zoren and Tliros got ready, dropped off the pirate ship, and set foot on the territory of Gula Island from the shallow waters of the reef beach.
Not long after the two of them disembarked, the pirate ship behind them restarted its sails and ferry, turned the direction of the ship, and quickly sailed to the shore.
"Zorren, is it really good to let those pirates run away?"
Looking at the pirate ship that was quickly moving away on the sea, Triros asked in surprise.
"Think of it as a reward for them to take me to the mission island, those are the remaining pirate minions, and there is no threat of combat power." Zoren paused and said lightly: "It's their luck."
In fact, he originally planned to use those dozen pirates as cannon fodder to land on the island first to explore the way and investigate the danger, but in view of their strength, he still gave up this idea.
On this gravity-amplified island, without a physique beyond ordinary people, it is simply difficult to move an inch.
From knee-high shallow water, to the island beach, Zoren couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows, and his steps fell heavily to the ground.
"The increase in gravity has increased again, and it has nearly tripled." Tleeros next to him spoke worriedly.
Zorren's gaze swept over the sand, and although there were no props like rafts, he could still see bits and pieces of footprints.
He nodded in confirmation: "It seems that someone has indeed set foot on the island recently, but I don't know if it's a newcomer to the training camp or a member of the pirate group."
Until now, there was still a week to go before the deadline for landing on the island requested by the chief instructor, and although not too much content for the follow-up mission had been given, Zorren still had a set of guesses.
"At the same time as announcing to the newcomers to go to the mission island, the world government sent people to release information about the temptation of treasures and devil fruits in the underground world of the surrounding seas, leading some pirates to Gula Island.
In other words, the island will soon become a gathering place for training camp newcomers and pirates......"
Just as he thought of this, a terrible wail came from the island forest.
Zoren and Tliros looked at each other, and then, without the slightest hesitation, picked up their speed and rushed towards the forest where the screams were sourced.
Rushing into the dense ancient forest, the branches and leaves overhead completely cut off the sunlight, only fragmented gaps formed tiny pillars of light, and the vision suddenly darkened more than a grade, and the sense of shade was like the whole person being immersed in water.
The body has barely adapted to the amplitude of gravity three times, maintaining a high speed, and the running Zoren with a strong wind, after going deep into the island for a distance of nearly 100 meters, the sprinting action suddenly stagnated, and then the figure was placed in an invisible swamp, and his hands and feet became slow and difficult.
Taking a deep breath, Zoren slowed down uncomfortably, and couldn't help but say to himself: "All of a sudden, has it become five times."
Five times the gravity, this is not only equivalent to carrying a load of five times the body weight, but the blood in the body is also pulled by the downward force.
Even with his physique close to the limit, he was suddenly in such an exaggerated gravity environment, the blood circulation in his body was no longer smooth, and the blood flowing to his upper body and brain was strained, and he was a little dizzy from lack of oxygen.
"The further you go to the island, the more gravity increases."
Shrugging his shoulders hard, Zoren was inexplicably stunned when he looked to his side.
But it was Tliros, who had been moving forward behind his right just now, that had completely disappeared at this time.
The surrounding forest was silent, and it was impossible to detect the malice of the creatures, on the contrary, it was not even there with the birds and insects, and it was extremely lifeless and strange compared to a normal forest.
"Is this the so-called Demon Territory?" Zorren muttered to himself, for some reason, his body seemed to have a slightly subtle resonance with it more than the wariness of unknown dangers.
He thought of something for a moment, but before he could catch the tail of the thought, it was completely gone.
"Further on, it should be the place where the screams came from."
Zoren continued to move forward with difficulty.
Spanning a distance of more than ten meters, peeling back the bushes that blocked the road, the scene that appeared in front of me was - more than a dozen middle-aged men dressed as pirates were lying on the ground, and there was no longer too much life on their bodies.
Approaching the corpses, Zorren observed slightly: "There are no traces of a fight, and there are no fatal injuries on the body......"
His gaze fell on the pirate's blue face, and there was still a look of fear on it, as if he had experienced something incredible before he died.
"So that's the case, the body can't withstand the gravity of the island and drags it to death." Thinking about this, Zoren had a new question: "However, if the gravity increase of the island is constantly increasing inward, then with the strength of these pirates, they should have stopped a long time ago, why did they go deep into the five times gravity here."
This question could not be answered by the dead pirates, but Zorren quickly felt it for himself.
A gust of wind blew, and the leaves of the trees fell "slowly", but they were all like stones, constantly falling heavily on the ground.
Zorren raised his head slightly, and could keenly perceive that along with the air and the breeze, it was becoming more and more suffocated and solemn at this time, as if something force majeure was twisting and changing.
The next moment - the gravity that had been maintained five times directly doubled.
Under the terrifying gravity, Zollen's pupils contracted violently, and the bones throughout his body couldn't stop clicking, and he suddenly knelt on one knee on the ground, and his hands also quickly supported the ground to maintain the balance of his body.
"That's eight times the force of gravity!"
His body was as heavy as lead, Zoren gasped, and his calm heart also turbulent: "Damn! Don't play like this! The island's gravity will also increase irregularly! ”
If you throw an ordinary person into an eight-fold gravity environment, the instantaneous force can directly stun the person, and even completely disturb the blood in the body to death.
"Roar!!
The wild roar exploded in his ears, and Zoren raised his head with difficulty, only to see a huge orangutan of more than five meters jumping out of the depths of the bushes, shaking black hair all over his body, exposing his bumpy chest muscles, and pounding his chest with both hands into fists.
Its own heavy weight and an eightfold increase in gravity jumped slightly sluggishly to the ground in front of Zorren, and the earth immediately cracked and fell like a spider's web, and dust flew up.
Facing the chimpanzee's cold and vicious eyes, Zoren struggled to stand up, his body tense in a state of battle.
"Chimpanzees who have adapted to eight times the force of gravity?"
He felt an unprecedented aggressiveness in the chimpanzee.
