Chapter 166: The Polluted Forest (2)

On the first day of arriving at the 'Elven Empire', Chen Kai spent the night in an extremely depressed state, the dense forest around them meant that their carriage was completely scrapped, even if a few elven mages were unwilling, they could only get out of the carriage and walk in the forest with their own feet, or lie on the back of the horse still under the bumps.

Of course, in the spirit of saving recycling, Chen Kai and the others recycled all the wooden planks and magic structures that could be used in the carriage, and then asked a few elven mages who had just recovered the magic power of the archmage to make a levitating magic array to support the materials. It's just that a few casters first made a hovering disc that they used on themselves as a seat. Let a few archmages walk in the forest, even the forest elves who are known as the sons of the forest will be unbearable, not to mention that the race of several elven mages is not forest elves but moon elves.

Chen Kai didn't say anything else except helplessness, carrying a heavy package on his back, the backpack was stuffed with things that could be carried, if it weren't for the fact that everyone had gotten a certain increase in strength through Daddy Deacon's devil training, then they would definitely have fallen down now.

When everyone started moving, they were basically carrying a lot of stuff, and the only thing left in place was a few dead horses except for the wagons that had been reduced to fragments. Instead of spending the night around the space gate, they walked several kilometers and chose a relatively safe place to spend their first night in the forest. A few kilometers is not a long way, but a few kilometers in the dense primeval forest is definitely quite a long distance. For by the time they began to set up camp, the time had changed from late evening to midnight when they reached the forest. In fact, when Chen Kai and the others left the fortress, the time of the fortress was already night, but because of the time difference, when they fell into the forest, there was still a burning sunset in the sky.

However, when Chen Kai and the others set up the camp, it was already midnight. With a journey of less than three kilometers, Chen Kai and his team spent nearly three hours to complete. And according to Chen Kai's estimation, he is not walking in a straight line at all, but is spinning around. Yes, under the leadership of a few elven mages with legendary mage experience, Chen Kai and the others actually got lost in the forest, and among these mages, there are also mages who have the power of natural magic. It's unthinkable to say something like this, but it happened.

For elven mages who master natural spells, the forest is their main place, and nature spells will gain at least 20% of their power bonus in the forest environment. If Evelyn's father, Ilian, had summoned the Oak Giant in the forest, he would have been able to torture his half-dead war puppet. But now don't say that Evelyn, a half-nature mage, can't communicate with the forest, not even Elion or even Nero Elu, the legendary spellcaster.

Originally, it was quite easy for a nature mage to communicate with the forest, and a single natural communication was enough for them to get a lot of information from a certain tree. At the same time, it is also possible to communicate with certain tame animals in the forest. But now these spells are useless, and not only that, but they also feel that their natural spells are not only not getting the power bonus they deserve in this area, but are being weakened. They may even encounter unexpected consequences when using certain spells, and a few spellcasters originally thought it was an accident, because it was the first time they encountered the summoned rattan that did not listen to the call and even fought back against the caster.

Evelyn, who had the least strength, was directly tied up by the rattan she had summoned and hung in the air for a full three minutes. This kind of thing could never have been in the hands of a nature mage before. After trying a few spells, the elven mages had to depress that it was a dead forest. It looks as if the forests are still alive, but they have lost their natural breath. If this is not the case, there is no explanation for the inability to use natural communication. In fact, the forest is not only dead, but also full of hostility towards nature, which is why it is possible to release natural spells and attack the caster himself.

Of course, a few elven spellcasters don't know this, or they know but don't dare to think about it, because such a thing is too terrifying. Although not all elves have the characteristics of children of the forest, there is no doubt that the natural environment of the forest has an environmental bonus for most elves, because the most important things of the elves are all in the forest. The ancient tree of life and even the tree of the world all depend on the forest for survival. Without the power generated by the forest, the Natural Ancient Tree, and even the World Tree, which is most important to the elves, would lose the basis for survival. If such a thing appeared in the Elven Empire, Nero Aru no longer dared to think about the answer to this matter, and she could only pray now that her inner thoughts were not true.

A faint smoke drifted slowly over the campfire, and all the qiē in the forest at midnight was so silent. This is not a good thing for everyone. Sometimes a silent forest is even more dangerous than a noisy one. Even the elven mages knew that someone had to keep vigil in such a forest, so several elven mages summed up Neluslde and Chen Kai, who were the first to recover their strength in the future, and they kept vigil together.

In fact, Chen Kaibi was sleepy than anyone, but he still held on to the vigil after pouring a large cup of coffee in his stomach. Although the forest refused to obey the natural spells of the elven mages, under the powerful influence of magic, several elven mages reluctantly arranged a thorn around the camp to block the miasma that grew in the forest. The hapless thieves were struggling to shove the soaked firewood into the campfire, and several dwarves were staring at the trees around them. Their eyes were like brass bells, but the snot bubbles beneath their nostrils showed the fact that several dwarves were stealing away. While Chen Kai and the others were tormented by Daddy Deacon, the dwarves worked hard to get more precious metals. Of course, in the end, all this metal was turned into a new barrel, and all the muskets in the hands of the dwarves were renewed, even the dwarven king cannon in the hands of Armand was updated and turned into the giant cannon of the dwarven king II.

All right! If Serram heard this name, he would definitely use the hammer in his hand to tell Sù Armand to respect him as a king, but now Seram is still thousands or even tens of thousands of kilometers away. Armand held his new musket, the thick barrel glowing coldly in the firelight. The dwarf did not expand the caliber of the barrel, because he did not have time to modify his own bullets, so the barrel made according to the original caliber was almost indistinguishable in appearance. But both the thickness and length of the barrel have increased a lot.

It's just that he needs a bracket when shooting, otherwise his little arms and legs won't be able to stand still and support the one-meter-long musket. In fact, if a spear were to be added, the musket would be almost longer than Armand's own height. So if he were to shoot with such a musket, the result would be that he would not be able to stabilize the heavy barrel at all. While the dwarves are terrifying, the problem is that the recoil of this musket is even more terrifying. Thankfully, Fei Yun gave the advice so that the black dwarf would not be ridiculed for his new weapon, and with the addition of two support frames, the musket was actually very close to a sniper rifle. Of course, it is definitely a compliment to say that it is a sniper rifle, because the maximum range of this musket is only 500 meters, and after 300 meters, the dwarf cannot accurately predict the landing point.

Although the black dwarf's craftsmanship is good, the strength of the black dwarf is not enough to produce a sniper rifle with ultra-long-range shooting ability by hand. But now, because of the defensive situation, this musket is definitely very powerful. When a bullet is ejected from the muzzle. Powerful kinetic energy will penetrate the defenses of any monster below the eighth order, and if replaced with special bullets, it can even make the Sanctuary hate at gunpoint.

However, the premise of this qiē is that Armand is awake and the enemy is still visible. Rather unfortunate at the moment, Armand slept quite comfortably, so the new weapon in his hand did not taste the blood of the attackers. Virtually none of the dwarves involved in the vigil had weapons in their hands that were able to hit the attackers, as they had not yet discovered the attackers. The attackers have already been killed.

"Jingle Bell!!" Just as Chen Kai was holding his eyelids to keep himself from falling asleep, a rapid bell woke him up instantly. But before he could draw his weapon. A wave of magic is instantaneous. Then the hurried ringing was gone.

"What's that?" When Chen Kai and Fei Yun came to the magic trap that had been triggered, they saw an indistinguishable corpse charred by the flames. There was no doubt that this corpse was definitely not any kind of monster that Chen Kai and the others knew, fortunately they still had a system to rely on, but the problem was that the name given by the system to Fei Yun, the person who set the trap, was confusing to him.

"Boss! The system says it's a monster! Forest Monsters! Fei Yun carefully examined the corpse on the ground with the knife in his hand, but no matter how he looked at it, he didn't feel any connection between the creature in front of him with two huge fangs like a saber-toothed tiger and the forest monster. Whether it's a swamp monster, a forest monster, or a jungle monster, they all have a unified code name among players, goblins. Dwarf, green-skinned monsters. But the corpse in front of him didn't make Fei Yun find any connection to the greenskins in his memory, although the greenskins had very sharp teeth, they definitely didn't have two thick fangs. These fangs are only found by forest trolls, unless they are crossed with swamp monsters. Otherwise, this kind of thing would never have been produced.

"Are you sure?" Chen Kai pointed to the two fangs on the corpse and said, to be honest, when he saw the two fangs, he thought that Fei Yun's trap had killed a young man who was a forest troll. But it occurred to me that if it were a young forest troll, it would not have grown such fangs at all, so I quickly threw this thought out of my mind.

"Pretty sure! Because that's what the system aunt said! Fei Yun spread his hands and said, and then sent a screenshot of the system information to Chen Kai to prove that he was not talking nonsense. Of course, I don't think this guy is like a forest monster, more like a cross between a forest monster and a forest troll, but the question is, do you think this is possible? ”

"Impossible!" Chen Kai compared the size of the forest troll and the forest monster in his mind, and directly rejected this ridiculous idea, one is at most one meter three, and the other is two meters three at the lowest. The two are not at all an order of magnitude, so the probability of producing offspring is very, very low, or simply impossible in the natural state.

"That can only mean that the forest monsters in this forest may have mutated!" Fei Yun slowly lifted the monster's corpse, then used the thief's special scent cleaning potion to remove the smell from the corpse, and then threw it into the bushes a hundred meters away. Of course, he didn't dare to go too far, because in this forest, especially in the middle of the night, it was very dangerous for him to act alone, even as a thief. Walking alone in the silent forest, Fei Yun carried the corpse in one hand. The other hand subconsciously clenched the dagger.

Until the corpse in his hand rolled into the bushes, he still didn't dare to relax, and with a very vigilant posture, he sneaked into the shadows and slowly walked in the direction of the camp, stepping on the ground covered with humus and fallen leaves. This sound made Fei Yun very helpless, and he tried hard to control his strength, and finally his steps became lighter when he approached the camp, almost to the point of silence.

However, it was precisely because of this that Fei Yun discovered a very bad thing, when he took advantage of the dim environment to carefully touch the area less than ten meters around the camp, with the help of the fire emitted from the camp, he saw dozens of things hanging on the big trees around him. These black shadows clinged to the tree poles, almost the same color as the moss lichen and bark on the surface of the trees, and if they hadn't opened their eyes to look at the camp, Fei Yun might not have been able to spot these monsters with powerful shadow hiding abilities.

"Boss! Bad news. You look like you're surrounded! When Fei Yun's voice appeared in the ears of Chen Kai, who was pouring coffee into his mouth, he didn't believe what he was hearing at all. Because there were no enemies in his sight, not even when he spread out his magical horizon, he couldn't see anything except the friendly green light that represented Fei Yun flickering in the distance.

"Impossible! Those guys are hanging from the trees! Boss, wake up the others. Otherwise, they may not wake up! Fei Yun slowly grasped the dagger beside him, although he didn't see the way the monsters moved. But the chill from his skin when he approached the other party made him understand that the combat power of these monsters would definitely not be low.

"Enemy attack!" When Chen Kai's voice roared and tore everyone's sweet dreams apart in the camp. Fei Yun's dagger instantly pierced the two black-clothed bodies with an extremely ferocious attitude, and the moment pale green blood splashed out, he disappeared into the darkness again. But there was no doubt that the attackers who had already been discovered were no longer hiding their tracks, and looking at the dozens or should I say hundreds of monsters in the firelight, Chen Kai swallowed a mouthful of saliva. If Fei Yun hadn't discovered these enemies, perhaps everyone would have been killed in their sleep, as he said, because they almost touched the edge of the camp without being detected.

But even after waking everyone up, Chen Kai still found that the situation did not get better. When the hundreds of monsters jumped from the branches, many of them were still blinded, and they didn't even know where the enemy was coming from. At this time, Chen Kai could only open his mouth wide and release an attack that made me or foe, and the moment the sound of the Titan's roar sounded in everyone's ears, their drowsiness disappeared completely, but at the same time, they were also dizzy by the sound wave.

But compared to the people in the camp. The most unlucky were definitely the monsters that jumped down above Chen Kai's head, because Chen Kai's voice was roaring upwards. At the same time, they were hit by the sound wave in mid-air, and they had no ability to resist at all, and the dense life damage flickered in Chen Kai's field of vision like a brush, and more of them were stunned and then fell to the ground. The green-skinned dwarfs that rained down on the camp were numerous, but they all possessed a trait that was very different from their distant relatives, and that was the possession of large fangs.

When everyone in the camp came to their senses, they were faced with hundreds of monsters that had invaded the camp, and the ones who were told to be forest monsters were definitely much more terrifying than their distant relatives, the swamp monsters. Because they possessed a power that the swamp monster did not have, after Zhao Tiezhu's shield was slammed by a demon, he felt that the other party's strength was not much worse than him. However, he soon found that the so-called power was almost his feeling, in fact, the power of this mutated forest monster was actually not very terrifying, but the terrifying thing was that their instant explosive power was very large. In an instant, they can burst out with twice or even three times the strength and speed, but they are also very crispy, and their physical defense is very poor except for the stiffer skull.

The sharp blade can instantly slice through the skin of these green-skinned monsters, and even though their level is as high as the sixth order, their defense is even worse than that of the fourth order swamp monsters. Chen Kai even doubted that a weapon with a sharpness of about three would be able to cut these monsters' bodies in half, not to mention the Radiant Blade he was holding in his hand. But at the same time, these green-skinned monsters were crispy, and the terrifying explosiveness and speed also gave Chen Kai a headache, these guys moved very fast, and if the swing of the weapon was a little slower, then they might not be able to catch up with their movements. The most important thing is that their claws are very sharp, and if it is a crispy mage, it only takes a few clicks to break the spell shield, and then the robe is shredded and the heart is pulled out.
