Chapter 830: Dark Forest

"And my control over my body strength is getting stronger and stronger, and I still have to improve faster in battle." As I walked forward, I thought about my spiritual plan.

……

When night fell, the forest became even darker.

"Poof!"

Li Qing slashed a mid-stage realm raging wild bull with a single sword, wiped off the war knife and turned around and left, this was already the fifth mid-stage realm demon beast he had encountered. These demon beasts have no effect on his training, and the materials on their bodies are both of low local value, so they are not collected.

"Just spent the night here."

Coming to a big tree, Li Qing looked around and decided to rest here. This vicinity should be the territory of the strong black ape, and he has not encountered other late-stage demon beasts after walking for a long time. After doing some simple precautionary measures, Li Qing spent the night here. However, it is impossible for him to sleep soundly when he acts alone, and he can only nourish his spirits. Just because he doesn't have a good rest, he doesn't plan to go out for more than two or three days every time.

……

The next day, early in the morning, Li Qing got up and continued to move forward, another anomaly in this forest was that there was not a single bird call, not even the smaller animal Li Qing had never encountered one.

"It's so barren here, how can there be late-stage demon beasts staying here?" After walking a distance, Li Qing thought about the abnormality here. Even if the IQ of the late-stage demon beast is very low, it will instinctively look for natural treasures that can make the body grow, so the more barren the material, it stands to reason that no late-stage demon beast will be willing to stay for a long time.

It's still as simple as looking around, and then look up.

"That's right!" Li Qing reacted immediately.

"I haven't looked at this tree yet, well, go see it." After thinking about it for a while, it was not enough to come here just to find demon beasts to fight, but he was very short of cultivation resources now, so he decided to climb the tree to take a look.

Soon the distance of more than twenty meters was there in the blink of an eye, because there had been silent spiders on the trees before, so this time Li Qing also climbed up very carefully.

Unlike the smooth and simple trunk below, the branches and foliage are very dense and densely intertwined. Li Qing could only use his sword to cut an upward passage, these branches were very tough, and the milky white juice flowed out as soon as he slashed down. It took him more than a minute to cut four or five meters upward.

"Poof~" As a bunch of branches fell, the space above was finally much looser, and Li Qing climbed up a few times.

"This! This ......"

He was shocked by the scene in front of him, only to see him appear in a vast space, surrounded by many thick gray-white tree trunks, which were still so smooth and simple.

Moving his gaze upward, countless branches and leaves grew dozens of meters from the trunks of those trees. Looking at the feet, in addition to the green branches and leaves, there are also a lot of dead leaves, which are soft and elastic when stepping on. The branches and leaves of each tree are intertwined, as if the ground is green.

"It's amazing!" Li Qing couldn't help but sigh, these tough and dense branches and leaves, dividing the deep forest into two floors like a building. The first floor on the ground is about 20 meters high, and this layer is about 50 meters high.

Take a step and walk cautiously, this is not the ground after all, so sometimes you have to sink your whole leg into a loose place.

When he walked under another tree trunk, Li Qing wondered, "Is there still this kind of space up there?" The branches and leaves of the whole tree are layered? ”

Driven by curiosity, he continued to climb up the trunk of the tree, and with his first experience, he quickly cut a passage this time.

Li Qing, who drilled out of the passage of branches and leaves, saw almost the same scene in front of him, but the height of the space on this floor was much higher, seventy or eighty meters high. Li Qing couldn't help but sigh: "That's really the case!" ”

Going up the trunk again, he stopped when he came to the fourth dimension. Because this is already the highest floor, a few dozen meters further up, you can see the sky outside through the sparse foliage.

"I'd like to see what's in here?" With such a peculiar environment, maybe some kind of natural treasure was born, and Li Qing began to wander on the fourth layer.

This time he didn't have long to walk, and when he walked around a tree trunk, many dead leaves appeared in front of him floating in the air.

"This is spider silk?" When I got closer, there were a lot of transparent spider silks in the vicinity, which was supposed to be a spider web, but now these spider silks are scattered around irregularly, and they have been abandoned for a long time.

He had encountered a silent spider before, so Li Qing was not surprised, but he was more careful. As a result, it didn't take long to walk, and some transparent spider silk was touched on his feet, which were also very strong, and the spider silk stuck to some branches and leaves was driven by Li Qing, and a large number of branches and leaves were pulled up, but those spider silks were not broken.

"Huh?"

At this moment, Li Qing sensed that something was attacking from above, this routine was very clear to him, this time because he had been vigilant, so he immediately looked up, and when he saw that it was only a silent spider the size of a head, he was slightly relieved.

When the little spider swooped into range, he slashed it in half with a simple and sharp slash. This silent spider, which was still in its infancy, had never seen a creature like Li Qing, so it pounced ignorantly, and lost his life in an instant.

As I continued to walk, the number of spider silks I encountered in front of me gradually increased, but most of them were discarded cobwebs. Occasionally, one or two live silent spiders are encountered, all of which are only weak juveniles. Those who dared to pounce on him were simply discarded.

After walking for a distance, there was a trace of abnormality on the ground in front of him, and his vigilant hair slowly leaned over. I saw that the branches and leaves in front of me, which were also green, were covered with layers of dense cobwebs centered on a thick tree trunk, and a large area of the neighborhood was dyed white.

And there are also a lot of spider silk connected between the trunk and the branches and leaves, wrapping it into a large cone ball with a diameter of about ten meters, but at this time it is everywhere in tatters.

"This is a spider's nest?" Through the tattered cracks, seeing some of the cracked eggshells hanging on the spider silk inside, Li Qing thought thoughtfully.

After observing from a distance for a while, he found nothing abnormal, so he approached to check. Use your sword to pick at the outer spider silk, which is tougher than it encounters along the way, and it is also very sticky.

If you look closer, the spider eggs inside are slightly larger than your fist, and strangely enough, on each egg, there is a finger-thick black vine attached to the trunk.

Li Qing cut off a section and looked at it, and it turned out that the vines were hollow, like pipes. After searching inside and finding nothing, I began to walk on.

"No wonder there are young silent spiders all around here, and they all seem to have hatched from here."

There is no more foliage on this fourth layer, and the sunlight from the sky shines down abundantly through the sparse branches. Looking up, there are also large and small spider webs distributed on it, it should be that the small spiders are not capable enough, so they can only catch some birds on it for food, which is one of the reasons why there is not a single bird in the forest below.
