Chapter 23: The Swamp

Huang Chao took a railway car and drove out of the desert into the jungle, spending two days on the road. He had nothing to do on the railroad car, and he couldn't drive back to the city to run elsewhere, because the railroad car was a moving vehicle. He had no choice but to practice the Basic Meditation Method every day.

The dark forest is full of malicious eyes. Werewolves, tree men, and wizards hid in the deep woods, monitoring Huang Chao's railroad cars all the way.

Fortunately, the railway car's armor is strong and fast, so that the opponent has no interest in attacking. Huang Chao successfully reached the imperial camp deep in the jungle.

After many battles at this time, Huang Chao has reached level 36, with 20 strength, 30 agility, 130 + 29 intelligence, 35 + 23 physique, 3400 health, and 200 magic, which is much stronger than before.

Space-time energy"31. 00%", the source force is "62/1000", Huang Chao estimates that there is still no time to return to reality.

The situation in the camp is very bad. The tent is all in tatters on the outside, with signs of elemental damage on it. The camp was littered with wounded people sitting on the side of the road, and not far away, it seemed that someone was transporting bodies.

Sure enough, as in the game, the alchemist attacked the camp.

In the center of the camp, Huang Chao met Wei'er, who had come here to support.

Although he knew that the plot was like this, he still felt a kind of surprise: "Wei'er, I haven't seen you for a long time." You okay? ”

Wei'er smiled politely, unable to hide the heavy look on her face: "Hello Huang Chao, I heard about your achievements in Zelafes, it's really amazing." ”

"By the way, the head of the camp, Professor Sduke, is in need of help, you should check him out."

Huang Chao knew it in his heart, and said with an unchanged face: "Okay, let's go." ”

At the end of the camp is a large mountain wall with a closed metal gate in the middle of the wall. A middle-aged man with peculiar glasses is directing people's work.

When he saw Huang Chao coming, he showed a relieved expression, and hurriedly walked over and said, "You are Your Excellency Huang Chao, the Favored One, it's an honor to meet you." ”

"If only you had come earlier. The alchemist came here an hour ago, destroyed the entire camp, and walked through the gates of grandeur. ”

He pointed to the huge stone door in the mountain wall and continued: "When he entered, he closed the door from the inside. We thought the door was leading to the core of the clockwork, but we couldn't open it right now. See the robot over there? He was made to open the door, but he lacked the energy source, which the scrap factory has. Your Excellency, please go there and retrieve the energy source, which only you can do. ”

"No problem." This is the main task, Huang Chao immediately took it, and then thought of another thing, "By the way, is this robot specially made by you?" ”

"No, the robot and this gate are the work of ancient dwarves, and we are gradually figuring out their purpose through archaeological discoveries."

"Oh." Huang Chao said in his heart, you didn't make a robot that couldn't be used, you still had to be saved.

He brushed through the equipment from the gambling merchants in the camp and updated several high-level equipment. The enemies he faced next, most of them were poisonous creatures, and he had to stack poison resistance.

Huang Chao has played many times, and he knows all the details.

Outside the camp, Huang Chao encountered three raccoons. It turns out that Spucott's brothers have black blindness and need the meat of blue porcini mushrooms to treat it, and Huang Chao takes over this side quest.

Before setting out, he summoned the god of lamps and treated the wounded conquerors in the camp. The effect of "group therapy" is very weak for these ordinary people, but after repeated many times, it also has a certain recovery effect.

Seeing that everyone was getting better, Huang Chao left the camp directly and headed for the Path of Decay. It was a dark forest, with tall and dense trees obscuring the sky, and the jungle was shrouded in darkness day and night. There are some fluorescent creatures floating on the trail, giving the woods a magical color.

At this moment, several clusters of spores floated in front of them, each the size of a human head, like a lantern suspended in the air, emitting a blue-green light. Huang Chao quickly sent out multicolored magic arrows, and if these things were not knocked out as soon as possible, they would explode and shoot acid.

Huang Chao rushed to the front and immediately saw a huge chimney-like creature, spitting spores into the air. He knew that this was the mother of the spores, and that it could produce a steady stream of self-detonating spores.

Before he could make a move, the ground shook violently, and a behemoth emerged from the ground.

"Demon fungus monster, this thing is difficult to fight, take a step first." Huang Chao immediately teleported away and cast his skills on the giant beast. The guy is four or five meters tall and has fungal features on his body. It has a powerful melee attack, a ferocious long-range spew, and an incredibly thick HP that is comparable to that of the elite.

And the scariest thing is that it's just a mob, so there's a lot of it. Some of them wander in the ground, while the other is buried in the ground and will suddenly burrow out as a person passes by.

If Huang Chao had just crossed over, he would have been shocked in the face of this kind of monster, and it would be difficult to act in panic, even if he had the same attributes as now, he would only be able to save his life.

At this moment, Huang Chao easily passed the teleportation, dodged the impact of several poisonous mist attacks, and killed the other party unscathed.

As Huang Chao continued to go deeper, he encountered more and more monsters. Most of them look like mushrooms, with small mushrooms that can explode and large mushrooms that throw fireballs and summon small mushrooms...... He had gone through several hard battles, and his body was covered in mushroom juice.

"This Nima, you must eat some mushroom soup when you go back, so as not to leave a psychological shadow!"

Huang Chao's thinking is different, and normal people should "never want to eat mushrooms again" in the face of this situation. And for Huang Chao, who likes to eat, there is no reason to "not eat something". For example, this piece of mushroom monster can only be asked to go back and add the same ingredients to the menu......

He entered the fungal cave, killed the boss-level magic fungus monster, picked up the task item "Blue Boletus Meat" from the corpse, and was in awe of the raccoons: "Are they going to eat the boss's meat, tsk, even I can't do it!" ”

There was no light in the forest, and Huang Chao often lost track of time, only returning to the camp to rest after being sleepy. After he returned to the camp three times, Huang Chao finally crossed the path of decay and came to the withered swamp.

It's full of the ultimate monsters. Werewolves lurk in the bushes, ready to devour every traveler. Sitting in the clearing, the giant Treant Man, once the boss of the Ember Scar Mine, can be found everywhere here, sharpening his great axe. Dead trees are hung with bats that can emit stun-inducing sound waves, and the Fern Witch will suddenly flicker around people and summon poisonous swarms.

Not to mention that in every swamp, undead creatures crawl out. Skeletons throwing lightning balls, skeletons in heavy armor, puffy zombies...... The abundance of undead makes the already dark forest even more terrifying.

Huang Chao's nerves were devastated, and he seemed to be watching the most terrifying close-ups in horror movies all the time. People are frightened to the limit, either they collapse or they are no longer afraid. Huang Chao cultivated the meditation method so that he would not have a mental breakdown. So after a lot of fright, Huang Chao finally got used to it.

In the face of the terrifying scenes that he had avoided before, he was able to face them with a normal mind, and he did not rely on a calm state of meditation.

"That's an improvement. Even if I returned to reality with nothing, I exercised my guts. ”

Huang Chao is also thinking about the meaning of soul crossing in his spare time. Each journey will be a unique journey, and even if the worst happens, his time and space foil is gone, and his attributes return to the level of ordinary people, he will at least have many unparalleled memories.

The growth of experience brought by these memories is his most valuable asset. He is equivalent to countless years longer than ordinary people, and the attempts in these years can become life experiences.

"The only concern is that if you stay in the fantasy world for too long, the memory of reality will gradually fade. People have limited attention spans, and if I do spend years in a certain world, I may forget a lot of things in reality, and when I go back, there will be a lot of strange places. This can still be covered up by occasional forgetfulness, but if I go to a place like the cultivation world, thousands of years later, what will I still remember in reality? ”

Probably the only thing that can be remembered is the main plot such as parents, and everything else is gone.

For example, if you think back to the scene of elementary school class and homework after school, what specific things can you remember? About elementary school, aren't they all discontinuous memory fragments?

Huang Chao estimated that if he traveled too long, he would face such a situation when he returned to reality.

"But it doesn't matter, as long as the harvest is big enough, the cost can be bearable. If you are already an immortal and holy Buddha when you return, you don't need to care about things in reality at all, you just need to remember the important things. ”

"In the early days, I want to keep my memory, and I can only take the initiative to recall the scene when I traveled back, and I don't forget the ...... one day."

Huang Chao recalled the realistic scene, and a wave of boredom swelled in his heart. He is here to kill supergods and save the world in all kinds of ways, but it is useless, and he still has to face the reality of urgency when he returns.

Fortunately, he still has some gains, his will is firmer, his intelligence has been greatly improved, and even if he increases his attributes by one-tenth of his attributes, he can produce a distinct effect.

"Ahhh

Coming to the scrap factory, a conqueror has reached the entrance. He told Huang Chao that if it was buried by rubble, he would go to the lumber yard to blow it up with explosives.

On the other side of the forest, the lumberyard is filled with werewolves, and the bodies of the victims and diaries can be found on the ground, silently describing the tragedy that took place at the lumberyard. Occasionally, several werewolves can be seen gathering around a human corpse in large chunks!

Didn't say it, kill it.

After experiencing this hellish scene, Huang Chao desperately killed the monster to vent the unhappiness in his heart.
