Chapter 172: The Polluted Forest (8)

Wearing a dim new magic robe, the magic fluctuations on all the casters were covered to only about one-tenth of what they had been in the past, and even the magic fluctuations on a few elven mages were at least two-thirds covered.

This robe, named the Devouring Robe by the elven mage, was definitely a weapon for the caster to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, but after a burst of excitement, everyone quickly calmed down, because they found that their situation had not changed because of the appearance of these robes, and they still had nothing to do with this forest area overgrown with bloodthirsty demon-sucking trees. Of course, it doesn't mean that there is no way at all, and at present, the slightly effective way is to let Chen Yi purify the roots on those branches little by little.

But this forest of strange trees is almost endless, so even if Chen Yi is so tired that he vomits blood, he may not be able to purify many trees. The most important thing is that these roots grow very fast, and they grow again from the branches in just one afternoon, and what is even more strange is that the newly grown roots cannot be purified with divine power. In other words, those roots can be purified because they have a large amount of evil power attached to them, while the roots that have just grown have not absorbed life, so there is very little evil power attached to them.

This may be another piece of bad news for everyone, and when Chen Kai and the others were preparing dinner, a few warriors who had cut down the tree for a long time got their new cloaks. A black cloak made of tree bark, as the bark of these bloodthirsty demonic trees also has the ability to absorb magic. Although it was not particularly powerful, there was no way to compare it with those roots, but after being compiled into a cloak, it finally filled the situation that Chen Kai and they did not have much magic resistance equipment.

In fact, there are very few equipment that can resist magic damage in the game, and from the extremely rare demonic metal, the cost of a set of equipment that reduces the effect of magic damage by 10% is at least one million gold coins. However, Chen Kai and their cloak can reduce the damage of spells by at least fifteen percent, although the damage reduction rate against fire element spells is only five percent, but the damage resistance to natural spells is as high as twenty percent. Such a highly resistant cape. For Chen Kai, it was simply a gift from the sky. Of course, no matter how good the gift is, it doesn't have as much impact on Chen Kai and them as Nero Ellu's announcement of the detour, and when everyone starts to act in the night, the dim forest has begun to blur their concept of time. Because there is little difference between dark and dawn in this area, Chen Kai and the others have no other way to know how much time they have traveled except to rely on the system clock to determine the time.

However, for Chen Kai and the others, when their system time hand pointed to seven o'clock in the morning, when the sky above their heads ushered in the first rays of sunlight above the canopy, they still did not see the boundary of the Bloodthirsty Demon Sampire Tree Forest. But the surrounding trees were definitely not the previous trees, so Chen Kai and the others did not go around in circles, and the magic tree that exuded a rich black aura made Chen Kai and them itch. After all, the bark of these trees can be used to make zuò cloaks and robes, but the problem is that these barks cannot be fibrosed with spells after being separated from the tree pole for a period of time, and the possibility of making zuò is lost.

So Chen Kai and the others were just greedy, but they didn't want to pull some more bark and store it. Because even if you save it, the bark will become worthless when it loses its magic power, and even when it is burned for firewood, it will be discarded because of the pungent smell.

Chen Kai They don't remember how many kilometers they walked, because the scenery around them was almost the same, if it wasn't for the long distance they had traveled on the system map, maybe they would have thought that they hadn't gone far in the same place.

The only good news for everyone is probably that they have been moving forward and have never taken detours or turned back. It's just that the relief of the dimness makes everyone feel very depressed, and when you look up, you see not the blue sky, but the dark and dull trees, which is extremely uncomfortable.

In order to reduce consumption. Chen Kai: They had to choose to use wood from the forest as torches. The smell of burning branches was very unpleasant, not at all like the smell of other forest trees, but similar to the stench of decomposing corpses. However, in order to save mana and provide lighting, Chen Kai and the others could only use this method to reduce the consumption of those torches.

The forest seemed to the group to be rather dead and silent, and they even suspected that there might not be much living in the forest anymore. For they had not been attacked for a whole night, the only thing that echoed in their ears was the rustle of the leaves blowing in the air above their heads, except for the sound of their feet stepping on the humus-filled forest floor.

Looking at the strange roots not far away, everyone sighed. In fact, if it weren't for the fear that they would burn themselves to death in the forest, Chen Kai and the others really wanted to put a fire and burn this forest down. If they do, of course. It is estimated that players who see Chen Kai's new cloak attributes released on the Internet will jump up and strangle them all. Of course, for now, these players can only envy and hate Chen Kai's cloak, because most players can't enter the Denzel Forest. However, there are also players who make trouble and run to the Denzel Forest in their own country to find these bloodthirsty demon sucking trees, but of course the result is nothing.

In fact, Chen Kai would rather switch positions with those players who jumped on the Internet but didn't know that they were making trouble. Let them come to this forest and run themselves to the forest of Denzel where they are. Although there are no monsters around, the silence is more torturous than the heat of battle. The most terrible thing for a patient is not to die directly, but to lie on the hospital bed or operating table and wait for death. Chen Kai and the others belong to this situation now, but it can't be said that they are waiting for death, but the relief of the quiet surroundings still gives them a lot of mental pressure.

While the bonfire was burning on the ground, Chen Kai kept sharpening the blade of his weapon with a whetstone, although they knew that it was daytime now, but after a night of trekking, everyone's bodies needed a good rest. Several elven mages had already entered their tents to rest, and Chen Kai and the others had also assigned the people on duty to prepare for a rest.

Although Chen Kai was already sleepy to death, he still gritted his teeth and served as the person on duty, using a whetstone to polish the blade of the weapon in his hand to pass the time. In order to prevent the smell of the burning bonfire from smoking everyone, Chen Kai and the others had to use the magic array to wrap the bonfire. Of course, these magic arrays are not zero-hour, but are made into arrays that can be assembled at any time. The person who cares about the campfire only needs to add mana to the magic circle every once in a while. The entire magic circle can run for an hour, creating a faint air flow that blows the smoke from the campfire upwards.

Of course, there are several other bonfires around the camp, because relying on only one bonfire will definitely not provide sufficient lighting, and Chen Kai does not want to be touched by others because of insufficient lighting. The things of those forest monsters are exciting enough, if you come a few times, Chen Kai doesn't know if he can survive in this forest for a few days.

When Chen Kai inserted the repolished giant sword back into the scabbard, he began to check the equipment on his body, especially the magic equipment that could release flickers worn inside the leggings of his lion armor. After making sure that the magic power of the magic crystal attached to it was sufficient, Chen Kai put on all the equipment again. Although the armor smelled of nourishing grease, it was definitely much better than the smell of smoke from a campfire.

While Chen Kai was putting on his armor, the other people on duty were also preparing their own things. Only those who were not on duty were huddled in their tents and fell asleep. For Chen Kai, the snoring in his ears may be the best lullaby, but unfortunately he can't sleep, so he can only drink unpalatable coffee to lift his spirits. To be honest, if he knew that the coffee brewed from these burning firewood would taste so bad, then Chen Kai would never put the coffee on the campfire to boil, not only wasting his coffee powder, but also tossing his tongue and taste buds. However, this coffee is really refreshing, even if you are sleepy, just drink a small cup and you will be disgusted and get rid of all the drowsiness.

After drinking it, Chen Kai's only thought was whether there was anything in the coffee. But when he thought about it, he prepared the pot of coffee from the water to the ground coffee himself, and there was basically nothing else except the heated firewood. So in the end, Chen Kai could only blame the firewood for the reason for this situation. And he then roasted a piece of meat to prove it. The roast was now lost to Fei Yun. Basically, except for being used as biological weapons. I don't think anyone wants to eat that spooky piece of barbecue with an eerie smell. Even creatures that are hungry for meat probably won't want to taste that piece of meat. Therefore, Chen Kai and the others instantly abandoned the idea of using this kind of firewood for dinner, unless they planned to go without eating all day, otherwise they should stay away from these firewood that emitted a strange smell.

Therefore, Chen Kai's food is still used in the fuel stored in the backpack, but unfortunately these fuels are almost used a little less, and they will let Bai Shasha use spells to roast the food later. There is no doubt that these problems will plague the people, and if they can't be solved, then they may not be able to support themselves in this forest for three months. Because no one will store fuel in a backpack for three months. Even if they lit the planks collected from the wagons as firewood, at most they would have been able to sustain them for an extra week.

So the situation before everyone became serious again, but what they needed to do now was to get some rest and then try their best to get around this terrible woodland. Although at the moment, this terrible forest is almost nowhere to be seen. But Chen Kai and the others absolutely didn't believe that the range occupied by the Bloodthirsty Demon Sucking Tree would be so large. Most importantly, he also mentions this plant in Scheer's diary, but in Scheer's diary, it refers to this tree as the Cannibal Tree instead of the Bloodthirsty Demon Sucking Tree that Chen Kai and their system prompted. This is probably because when Scheer and the others encountered this kind of tree, those adventurers were sucked dry by the magic tree, so it was called the cannibal tree.

The adventurers led by Scheer chose to bypass these man-eating trees, so Chen Kai and the others also chose to bypass these bloodthirsty demon-sucking trees. According to Scheer's diary, his expedition took him four days and three nights to see the edge of the Cannibal Tree Forest. It's just that they were attacked by a group of strange creatures there, and the appearance of these strange creatures was not recorded, and he only wrote down words such as terrible and very difficult to deal with. Therefore, Chen Kai didn't dare to relax for a moment when he was on duty, for fear that he would encounter the attack of such a strange creature when he was relaxed.

The orange bonfire burned slowly in the dim forest, and by the time Chen Kai had finished his last sip of weird coffee, he had finally made it to the time for the shift change. Dragging his tired body, Chen Kai explained a few words to Su Xinghe, who replaced him, and then touched the tent, and in less than a minute, Chen Kai fell into a deep sleep, and a snoring sound sounded in the tent.

"Boss! Chief! When Chen Kai's eyes opened in a daze. Zhao Tiezhu's voice kept ringing in his ears, and he finally came to his senses after a moment of confusion. When he got up from the ground, he looked up and saw the magic lamp lit in the tent. At this time, Chen Kai especially missed his luxurious magic tent, but unfortunately that tent had been disposed of by them and replaced with this tent, which was not very luxurious, but had a larger internal space. A huge tent with an area of only a dozen square meters on the outside, but the space inside can accommodate 50 people.

The only problem is that although the tent can accommodate nearly 30 people, the place where everyone can stay is less than three or four square meters, so they can only have a place to sleep. Compared to Chen Kai's tent that could put a big bed in the past, this magic tent is really poor in other aspects except for the large number of people. Of course, Chen Kai and the others were actually helpless in choosing this tent, after all, they now have not only players but also dwarves. Dwarves should not be allowed to sleep in the open air or in their own tents while camping. However, in order to prevent the tent from being accidentally blown up by the dwarves when they were disposing gunpowder, all dwarves were forbidden to put gunpowder in the tent.

Of course, the dwarves also know that it is very dangerous to prepare gunpowder, so most of the time they use the small tents they buy to prepare gunpowder, and the most important thing is that they have enough gunpowder in their hands. Therefore, at present, they will not carry out the dangerous configuration of gunpowder, so Chen Kai does not have to worry about being woken up by the sound of explosions while he is sleeping.

"What time is it?" Chen Kai patted his face in confusion. The muscles in his body were a little sore after a long sleep, and it was only slightly better after moving his joints. As for why he asked Zhao Tiezhu about the time. Because he sensed that he was hungry. If he had only slept for an hour or two, this would not have happened, and now that he is hungry, it means that he has slept for at least four or five hours.

"Three o'clock in the afternoon! Boss, you slept for five hours! "Actually, five hours is not a long time, and Chen Kai can even sleep for another five hours if possible, because he has not had a good rest for quite a long time. From the time he left the fortress to now, Chen Kai's rest time had only added up to eight hours, and they had been in this forest for more than two days.

"Five hours? So long? Chen Kai wiped his face with the water in the water bag. Then rinse my feet with the water to wipe my face. In the case of scarce water sources, this is the only way to save water, in fact, several elven mages can use spells to create water. The problem is that the success rate of spells to summon water elementals in this forest is very low, and the water that consumes a lot of mana to create is not enough to make a meal.

"That's why I'm calling you! Hurry up. If you don't get out of bed, you'll be shaken out of the tent! "Zhao Tiezhu is not talking nonsense, because the camp is about to be demolished, so the tent will naturally be put away. When the tent is closed, the people inside will be shaken out directly, and no living creatures will be stored in the tent except for the stored items.

"Got it!" When Chen Kai walked out of the tent, as Zhao Tiezhu said, Fei Yuan and the others had already begun to dismantle the tent, if he came out later, then he would really be shaken out of the tent. Don't look at him as the captain, but everyone else will make such jokes with him to see him out of trouble.

After leaving the tent, Chen Kai saw that everyone was busy dismantling the camp, the magic arrays around the campfire were being dismantled, and the unpleasant smell of smoke began to spread in the camp because there was no breeze to guide them. However, these bonfires were soon covered with earth, and the deeply buried fires were soon gone, and this qiē only consumed the magic power of the ecliptic less than a hundred points.

After eating a somewhat cold and hard dough, Chen Kai touched his stomach and sighed helplessly. Now he misses Daddy Deacon's men's set meal a little, although the raw earth dragon meat is very unpalatable, but at least it is fresh enough and the most important thing is that it is meat.

"I really want to eat meat!" Sighing helplessly, Chen Kai slowly put the giant sword on his shoulder and embarked on the road, they needed to start their journey between the sun going down, after all, they had been in one place for too long, and it was definitely not a good thing to stay in this forest for too long.

For Chen Kai, he doesn't like being in the forest at all, because his height is very difficult in this kind of terrain. Although most of the trees in this forest are tall, it does not mean that there are no low plants. The storage of these plants obstructed Chen Kai's passage, forcing him to wield his weapon to clean it up. But Chen Kaiyou didn't want to use the shrinking technique to make himself smaller, and even if he became smaller, it wouldn't be much more convenient, and at the same time, the decrease in combat effectiveness after shrinking would make it very troublesome when there was danger.
