Chapter 176: Ironback Bear

The Green Branch is bounded by twenty kilometers, and the danger level of the Howling Forest is divided into seven levels, and within one hundred and twenty kilometers is the central area of the Howling Forest, this area is very vast, and there are basically six or seven level creatures living there, and it is even said that there are eight level creatures, so no one dares to enter, but fortunately, these creatures do not come out very often, for so many years, the Howling Forest is quite safe, plus there is a magic guild in charge, as long as it is not too powerful demons, it can be suppressed.

Deep and gloomy.

Rowan walked into the woods, turned on the Tailuo detection method, and then the whole person integrated into the forest. Whether it's the breathing technique or the natural stealth method, it doesn't consume too much magic elements, so even if you use it all the time, it's not too much of a burden.

Entering the forest, everything in front of me became, woods, woods, woods, and it was almost impossible to see twenty meters in front of me, and I could only rely on spiritual power detection to be my eyes. Fortunately, he is a mage, if it is true, it is estimated that at least one step at this moment.

Rowan walked along the path, shuttling through the endless woods, and from time to time he saw some strange little animals, flashing through the bushes, and he could also see many other animals, jumping back and forth between the bushes, running, and they did not find Rowan.

His steps were very light, and because he couldn't use too strong magic, Rowan made himself an anti-gravity alchemy bracelet and put it on his hand, relying on the power of the equipment to reduce his weight and minimize his impact on the environment.

The first ten kilometers are not enough, because humans often haunt them, there are almost no demons here, even there are not many wild beasts, from ten kilometers onwards, the number of beasts gradually increases, and the path that Rowan passed by has completely lost its trace.

He regretted it a little at this time and didn't ask others. The Demon Court has a patrol line, after all, it is often walked by people, and it is much easier to walk than to step directly on unfamiliar land.

The trees in the woods are very vigorous, it can be said that the exuberance is terrible, if there are dense phobia patients, come here, just look at the dense trees around them, it is estimated that they can faint immediately, except for the tree, it is the tree, in nothing else, after a long time, people will be aesthetically fatigued.

There was no road ahead, so Rowan could only be more careful, took out the locator, and while comparing his position, he bypassed the big trees in front of him and moved forward, while vigilantly observing the surroundings.

After walking twenty kilometers, this is the D-level area, where there are second-level demons for survivors, and occasionally third-level demons. When it came out, the mission manual also marked all kinds of creatures that can appear here, and at the same time, after Rowan came here, he also needed to verify the creatures he saw along the way according to the requirements of the manual, so as to prevent high-level creatures from infesting and destroying the stability here, in case there was any demon riot, which was extremely unfavorable to humans, these must be recorded on the instrument.

This is the main purpose of the patrol mission.

In fact, there is another kind of mission called the patrol mission, which specializes in hunting demons in the area, which is different from Rowan's.

The patrol mission is to clear the area of all the demons, so that they do not expand their population and run outside after they can't eat, and harm the common people. The annual patrol task is to do the work in advance for the patrol task.

Luo Wenhua made a shadow, located his position and confirmed the direction according to the equipment at hand, and quickly moved inside, on the way, he encountered many strange things, and it was easy to dodge.

Since integrating a lot of space runes, Rowan has a very keen sense of the surrounding space, and sometimes, before the spiritual power has time to react, he has already felt it in advance, so as to target the sense, and avoid a lot of dangers, and after more space runes, he is very sensitive to the surrounding environment, some hiding in the shadows or places where the mental power cannot be taken into account, can also rely on the sixth sense to sense, which gives him a lot of convenience, and most importantly, the space runes can also add a lot of convenience in terms of movement, which is very wonderful for Luo Wen。

The movement of people, in fact, is a relative spatial change, after more space runes, the movement is more smooth, convenient, there is not much sense of lag, as if you come to a strange environment, everywhere is fearful, so many space runes into the spiritual power, this feeling is gone, everywhere like fish water.

As he walked, the terrain in front of him suddenly rose, Rowan compared the map, sensed his location, and suddenly understood that it seemed that he had come to Area C.

According to the division of the Green Division, Area C is very large, with the periphery as the boundary, and the entire range of 40 to 60 kilometers belongs to the C-level area, and the Howling Forest on the border of thousands of kilometers can be imagined.

The location of the part that Rowan wants to inspect is naturally designated, and the alchemy equipment in his hand is reminded.

After arriving here, the most obvious thing is that there is a small mountain here, the altitude has climbed about three or four hundred meters, and it is this mountain that he wants to inspect to see if there are any biological changes, and whether it needs to be cleaned up.

Rowan stood at the bottom of the mountain and looked up the mountain.

Due to the increase in altitude, the mountain is the dark wood, all the way up, after the altitude climbs more than 200 meters, the dark wood can not adapt to the environment, and gradually evolves into a mixed forest, all kinds of trees, the largest number is a red tree, this kind of tree is called redwood in this world, its body is a third-level magic material, widely used. It is similar to the redwoods on the earth, the trees are tall and straight, each one is more than 50 meters tall, and it looks very spectacular.

In addition to this, the second most abundant species is also a very tall tree called the Tissot tree. The Tissot tree is known to Rowan to be very strong, and most of it will be used as the main material for the floatboat, which is a very extensive resource. Tissot has very thick branches, and the canopy is very high due to the competition for sunlight, but there are few leaves, and even in winter, the weak sunlight can penetrate the canopy and fall to the ground, creating a scene of mottled shadows.

In fact, it is not these two trees that are most cherished here, but the rarest one, called red ironwood.

According to the explanation of the material, due to the relationship between the surrounding environment, there is a wealth of iron ore in the ground here, so the iron content of most of the trees is very high, the same is true of the redwood, the same is true of the Tissot tree, and the most abundant iron element of the place grows a tree, that is, red ironwood, his tree body is very strong, that is the most important magic material, and the level of red ironwood is as high as level four, very cherished.

However, although the red ironwood is useful, most of the red ironwood is inhabited by iron-backed bears and red iron-backed wolves, which is very difficult to cut down, especially the iron-backed bears, which will directly build their nests under the red ironwood, which increases the difficulty.

The ironback bear is as high as level four, and the red ironback wolf is also at least level three, one lives in a family unit, and the other lives in a group, neither of which is easy to deal with.

The main purpose of his visit is to check the number of iron-backed bears and red iron-backed wolves on this mountain, to see if it exceeds a certain size, if it is exceeded, it must be reported, if not, leave an image.

Seeing his task, Rowan became more cautious, and the whole person turned into a transparent shadow and wandered in the mountains and forests.

This mountain is very large, millions of acres of land, from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, it is also seven or eight kilometers, seven or eight kilometers outside is nothing, you can see the edge at a glance, but this is in the mountain, seven or eight kilometers is very terrifying, who knows what the survivors are, and the number of trees in the mountain is huge, the vision is not good, every step must be very careful.

Rowan looked at his surroundings and got an idea of the environment in which he worked, and the next step was to develop a work plan.

He marked his location, divided the entire mountain into fifty areas according to the scope of his spiritual power, and prepared to start from the periphery, slowly rotating and exploring upward.

By this time, it was already afternoon, and he was going to work all night.

Soon, Rowan found the first litter of ironback bears at the foot of the mountain, which was under a very huge red ironwood, and they dug out a tree hole under the tree, which had a strong breath of life.

This was the first time Rowan had seen such a creature, and he looked at this nest of guys with some novelty.

The ironback bear is one of the bear clans, he is not much different from other bears, from the appearance, his hair is brownish-red, and there is not much difference from other brown bears, grizzly bears, and black bears in terms of body size, but the reason why the ironback bear is famous is because his skin is like a layer of iron skin, indestructible, and it is difficult for ordinary fighting spirit below the fourth level to hurt him, which is the main reason.

Rowan observed, didn't bother them, and left directly.

After a few hours, it was completely dark, and Rowan had a general idea of the distribution of the creatures.

There are all kinds of small animals living at the bottom here, and the largest group is naturally all kinds of rats, hairy rats, clawed rats, etc., and there are some smaller animals, and there are countless insects, but Rowan checked it and found that the number of this thing is somewhat inconsistent with last year's, and the density has become significantly smaller, which is not a good sign, because the fewer animals at the bottom, the more complicated the possible situation, he will develop in the direction of two poles, one is that there are more high-level demons, and the other is that there are fewer high-level demons, no matter which one it is, it represents that there has been a change here。

There are more high-level demons, then it needs to be cleaned up, there is no doubt that there are fewer high-level demons, then it means that there are other higher-level demons invading, which is not a good sign.

Luo Wenhua's figure, in the dark night, wandered around in the woods, and soon found that the high-level demons here were indeed less skilled, and it was easy to see the traces of fighting everywhere on the mountain, some of the red shirt trees were broken by the waist, and the huge tree trunks were either leaning on other trees, or lying directly on the ground, and some were even beaten into several sections, which looked very miserable, and there were many traces of blood on the ground.

After surveying half of the mountain, there should have been more than a dozen litters of ironback bears here, but in the end, Rowan found only four nests, which is almost comparable to the number of endangered species.

However, Rowan didn't find any high-level demons, and he didn't know what was going on, but as an inspector, it was very necessary for him to figure out this matter.

After a night of reconnaissance, at Rowan's speed, the general situation of this area has been basically clarified. In addition to the ironback bears, the number of red ironback wolves is also decreasing, and according to Rowan's observations, these red ironback wolves have a faint tendency to go out, as if they don't want to stay here.

The wolf was originally a nomadic creature, Rowan didn't care about their number, and the mission was only to explore, and he didn't ask for more, the main object of observation was the ironback bear, and now the number of ironback bears is not enough, and the red ironback wolf also has signs of leaving, and many signs indicate that there is a situation here.

Rowan was careful all the way, and was not discovered by any living creatures except for a few insects.
