It seems that there are more secrets of Beintz's blood lake than Hao Ren imagined at first.

The peculiar and enclosed ecology, the frighteningly large biological system beneath the twisted woodland, the mysterious power of the red lake, and the myriad legends surrounding the qiē – most of which Hao Ren believes have their exact origins – all make one curious about this mysterious region.

"What kind of species do you think this twisted woodland is? Are you sure it's a plant? Hao Ren switched between holographic projections, and finally stopped on the scan of the distorted woodland, the huge underground root system made him shudder, just looking at those images, he could feel a kind of shock: he was standing on top of such an ancient and strange lifeform, and he was like a speck of dust compared to this big guy.

"It's really a plant," the number terminal continues to strengthen the scan signal to fill in the blurred or blank areas of the image, "hmm...... Although it is relatively rare for organisms to evolve into this pattern, it is not without precedent, you must know that the void is vast, anything can appear, the mother tree of the tree elves can even take root and cover the entire planet, and the one in front of you is just one of the forms of the 'giant plant'. The only thing that makes people wonder is how it came to be here - this machine has worked backwards on the ecological evolution of this planet, and found that even tens of thousands of years ago this place was not suitable for this giant conjoined plant to live, it ...... It shouldn't be on this planet, it's not in line with the laws of evolution. ”

Hao Ren is a layman in biology, so he didn't think too much, he just looked at the towering tree beside him with emotion. Reaching out and stroking the rough and mottled dark bark, he imagined that he was coming into contact with a miracle creature that took up hundreds of kilometers and had survived for tens of thousands of years. It's just a pity that this miracle creature is just a bunch of roots. It would be nice if it could speak, Hao Ren really wanted to know what was going on with the world-destroying event more than 10,000 years ago.

However, just when Hao Ren was distracted. A palpitation suddenly came to my heart.

He got up in horror and looked around vigilantly, just now he felt as if he was being stared at by something, it was not an ordinary "sight", but the feeling of being scanned from top to bottom by something indescribable, and the number of terminals beside him immediately floated up when he saw this: "What's going on?" ”

"No...... Maybe it's an illusion," Hao Ren shook his head in confusion, "I feel like someone around me is looking over here." ”

"There's no one around, I'll call the police if there's anyone." The number of jù terminals slowly floated back into the pot, "Let's go back and meet that little mercenary girl first, otherwise she should really suspect that you have a bad kidney." ”

Hao Ren: "? ”

When Hao Ren came back with the pot, he happened to see Betsy looking anxiously here, and before he could step forward to say hello, the other party shouted urgently: "Why did you go for so long?!" You don't know it's dangerous? ”

Hao Ren didn't expect this mercenary girl to care so much about her traveling companion, and explained awkwardly: "Well, people have three urgency." Anyway, I didn't see any monsters here. ”

"I'm wondering if it's more peaceful here than the last time I was here," Betsy frowned in confusion. "I've been here a few months ago, and I couldn't see the monsters on this road, but I could often hear their movements in the depths of the woodland, but today I don't know why it's so quiet...... Didn't the rector say that the vicinity of the Blood Lake was not peaceful? ”

"God knows how. It's always good to have no monsters anyway. Nangong May comfortably took a deep breath of the humid air containing rich water vapor, and urged everyone to continue on the road with full power, "Let's go, let's go." This road is very easy to walk, I guess we can see the blood lake today! ”

The team continued on its way. Vivian quietly leaned over to Hao Ren's side: "What did you find?" ”

"I'll go back and let you see the blockbuster," Hao Renshen mysteriously pointed to the pot (counting jù terminals). "There's something spectacular underneath this forest."

After saying nothing all the way, the group moved quickly on the quiet forest path, did not encounter a magical beast, nor did they encounter the legendary carnivorous hybrid monster between plants and animals, this distorted woodland that was rumored to be very evil was as safe and harmless as a peaceful ordinary forest, Hao Ren felt that he had walked almost half the way, and the biggest carnivorous beast he saw along the way was the jumping husky beside him......

But Betsy was getting more and more uneasy in such a peaceful environment, she knew that this forest should not be so quiet, she would be much more relieved if there were a lot of flesh monsters popping up here for her to fight, and now this too quiet situation can only mean one thing: the forest has really changed like never before.

"Wait," Vivien suddenly shouted nervously as the team moved forward at full speed, "there's something ahead!" ”

Instead, Betsy breathed a sigh of relief: the little monster that she said was good had finally come out.

Everyone immediately entered the battle mode, Betsy drew her enchanted sword, Vivien spread her batwing and floated into the air, Hao Ren unfolded her shield, Lily rubbed her blades of ice and fire and began to create water vapor, Nangong May squatted on the ground with her head in her hands - anyway, everyone's fighting form was different.

And almost as they were getting ready, an unusually heavy footstep suddenly came from the south side of the road!

The sound of the footsteps seemed to be mixed with the running of another smaller group of something.

Hao Ren immediately walked to the front of the team with his shield on his shoulder, and soon, a large group of black shadows appeared among the trees in the south.

The first thing that catches your eye is a group of twisted and weird-looking black creatures, they seem to be the mutated dinosaurs that Betsy mentioned, living in the twisted woodland, these black creatures are about two meters long, but you can't tell what kind of species they are, they are like a long ball of meat with six pairs of wrists and feet, and they look like deformed, mutant squid living on land, these black monster creatures have no facial features, and they don't even have obvious heads, They can only be seen as they run, with two tentacles full of sharp teeth in their upper part, which are like organs swinging wildly. These things have such a twisted and annoying appearance, anyone who sees them for the first time will inevitably have a tremble, and now there are about twenty of these twisted dinosaurs rushing towards Hao Ren and them as if they were rushing to buy them in the supermarket!

Hao Ren, who was ready for Rao, was also frightened by these extremely ugly strange creatures, and Lily next to him exploded: "Ah! What's that?! ”

"That's a flesh beast, a monster that eats everything!" Becky's blade was blazing with flames, "Don't let them bite you, these guys have a ...... Huh? ”

Betsy exclaimed in surprise: not long before the flesh beast came into view, another strange, even larger and unheard of creature came out from behind the trees in the distance!

It was a tree...... Strictly speaking, it is a giant in the shape of a giant tree.

Nearly ten meters tall, it resembles a towering tree with limbs, its legs and arms are its legs and arms, and in the upper part of the tree, the bark of the ravines even vaguely outlines a face. The giant forest giant strode after more than twenty flesh beasts, and it was the sound of heavy footsteps that shook the mountains.

The flesh beast was just being chased by this giant - and now this group of guys who couldn't be messed with no matter how they looked at it were running in Hao Ren's direction!

Of course, everyone didn't intend to come head-on when they saw this battle, but as soon as they were about to flash people, they found an extremely bad situation: I don't know if it was the forest giant's intention to drive away or the group of flesh beasts couldn't forget lunch when they were running away, this group of evil stars actually ran straight towards Hao Ren and them!

Hao Ren jumped up on the spot: "After beating the mountain giants, I will follow to protect the ancient tree, is this the nest of the night elves?!" ”

Betsy quickly attached a few simple spells to her body to improve her combat effectiveness, and rushed towards the group of flesh beasts with a fiery magic sword: "Anyway, let's fight first!" ”

Hao Ren gritted his teeth, the shield on his body was fully opened, and he pounced straight on the flesh beast closest to him: "Sun thief!" ”

Although he couldn't hold back the blame every time he taunted, he still insisted on shouting Sun Thief before each charge - this could give him a psychological sense of shielding.

On the other side, Itzhax strode towards the "Guardian Ancient Tree", which seemed to be the most difficult to deal with. (To be continued......)
