Chapter 106: Tree Labyrinth
On the morning of the second day, it was still dark. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Wake up, Meng Er, it's time to get up and go to the road!" Li Zhengqiang's voice lingered in his ears.
Meng Fan woke up suddenly, he looked up, and his eyes gradually showed a look of frustration.
"Meng Er, awake?" Li Yongfu's hearty voice suddenly sounded.
Meng Fan came back to his senses in a trance and nodded to Li Yongfu and Li Yongan, "You two go and rest for a while, and I'll call you again at dawn." ”
"Okay, then we'll sleep."
Li Yongfu left, and Li Yongan found a piece of grass to lie down, and the two soon began to snore.
Meng Fan yawned, went to the stream to fetch water to wash his face, and after washing, he stretched his waist, and his body made a popping sound like fried beans.
Now his body is only fifteen years old, his height has grown to 172 cm, his weight has dropped to 135 pounds, his body is slightly thin, but in fact, his clothes are full of muscles, and the pieces are like bricks and stones, full of explosive power.
He has the strength of a thousand pounds and the strength of an ox. Yesterday, I ate a very strong and bloody tiger soup, and ordinary people sweated profusely when they drank a bowl and couldn't drink it anymore, but he even chewed the tiger bones into his stomach, and drank seven or eight bowls in a row.
Meng Fan woke up from this sleep, his bones were faintly numb, and he played a few sets of punches at random, and his fists were vigorous and powerful, and his strength was greater than before.
He took a five-stone bow, opened the string with two fingers, and immediately opened it to eight points, without any effort.
After the transformation of the five-stone bow, the structure is much better, it can lift 17,800 catties of heavy objects, and the bow is eight points, which means that the arms have at least 1,300 catties of strength.
It's a bit surprising that this strength has unconsciously increased by two or three hundred catties!
Meng Fan secretly said No wonder the whole body of the green spotted tiger is a treasure, the growth strength of this tiger meat is so obvious, even if a bowl of tiger soup is sold for ten taels, he is willing. But he never thought that his current body is in the development period, and a number of dried sponges are frantically absorbing the nutrients entering the body, and the changes in his body are naturally changing day by day.
In just over half a month after entering the world of the elven treasure, his height was 3 centimeters, his weight was slightly reduced by a few catties, and the fat was replaced by muscle, and the weight of muscle was about three times that of fat, so although the fat rate dropped significantly, his weight did not change much.
After a period of exercise, Meng Fan found that his body had indeed become stronger, with greater strength, faster speed, and faster explosions, all the tiredness of yesterday had disappeared, and the muscles that had been stimulated had grown rapidly with sufficient nutritional supplements, and his arms and thighs had become thicker!
He was inexplicably a little excited, his body was eager to try, and he went out to run two laps, the speed was really amazing, especially after starting the speed of silver light, more than 20M/S, extremely agile, galloping among the hills and trees, and the endurance was longer, and he could last about three minutes in one breath.
The gains were huge, and five minutes later, Meng Fan returned to the camp panting, empty and hungry.
During his development, he was always hungry, so he took out the dry food in his bag, ate some at random, and after another half an hour, he woke everyone up.
The team rested for a moment, and then the seven of them headed for the depths of the Aoki Valley.
The periphery of the Aoki Valley is fairly flat, and the further you go in, the higher the terrain rises, and the hills are stacked on top of each other, and the woods are dense and thick, growing thick and strong, covering the sky and the sun.
The forest is unusually quiet, sometimes there are birdsong alarms, look up, but there are bunches of sunlight shining through the leaves, and the group walks into the forest, as if entering the primeval forest.
Due to the rainy summer and slightly cold winter, similar to the subtropical climate of the real world, the forest is also mostly evergreen broad-leaved forest, and masson pine, fir and camphor can be seen everywhere.
The Aoki Valley is more than 300 kilometers long, and Aoki Castle is built in the middle of the valley, and the team has been rushing for two hours in a row, but it has climbed over a mountain, and the distance is calculated in a straight line, at most fifteen kilometers, but it finally enters the depths of the valley.
There is no trace of people in the deep mountains and old forests, and the scope of human activities stops here, this piece of soil is the world of fierce beasts, and it is also the paradise of hunters.
It was noon, the sun was shining, but the understory was cool, and the sun was blocked from the dense foliage.
The seven members of the team rested under a pine forest, and Li Yonggan and the others were worried, and anxiety was written on their faces. Meng Fan held the Aoki Illustrated Book in his hand and looked excitedly to the west from time to time.
I saw that a thousand kilometers to the west, there was an unusually tall forest, they were all towering giant trees, even though there was no shortage of tall trees in the Aoki Valley, their existence was still like a flock.
This forest is one of the forbidden areas marked by the Aoki Illustrated Book: the maze of tree alleys on the west side of the valley!
According to Kogi Hachiguro's clues, Meng Fan has already learned that there is a tree in the labyrinth, it hates humans, and has the ability to change its body shape to simulate trees, and its strength is very strong.
The goal of this hunting competition, the tree monster is the top priority!
Meng Fan was bound to win the tree, but the others didn't.
Li Yong dared to point to the woods in front of him and asked, "Meng Er, are we really going to the Tree Hutong Maze?" ”
Meng Fan nodded, "It's all at the entrance of the labyrinth, how can there be any reason not to break through." ”
Li Yong dared to glare: "But this is a dead end, no one has ever been able to come out of here among the participating hunters in the past!" ”
"Yes, the Tree Alley Maze is the most dangerous forbidden area in the Aoki Valley, whoever enters will die!" Li Yongan said, "We'd better not hit it." ”
Li Youyi said: "Tree Hutong suddenly appeared more than 30 years ago, that year's participating hunters entered the exploration, and they have not returned yet, and there have been several teams that think they are strong in the future, and they have disappeared since then, but now what is wrong in the forest, I still haven't figured it out." ”
"That's true." Li Yongyong nodded and said, "I heard Grandpa say that over the years, at least twenty disciples of the Aoki Sect have entered the Tree Alley, and in the early years, they would form a team to rescue them, but they were all wiped out, and the Aoki Sect Master is now silent about the Tree Labyrinth, and he doesn't say a word." ”
"Entering other forbidden areas, as long as you don't annoy the spirit beast, there is still a glimmer of life, but if you enter the tree maze, you will definitely die, if it is not for its limited range, it is not like the spirit beast can move at will, it is not an exaggeration to call it the first forbidden area."
Li Yongdang concluded: "The bloody lessons of our predecessors remind us that this tree maze can not be broken into!" ”
"yes, don't go in, I don't know what's going on inside!"
Everyone seconded the proposal, unwilling to enter the tree maze.
There have been a lot of "cannibalism" in the tree alley over the years, and there have long been rumors of it in Aoki County, and there are even rumors that there are ghosts and monsters in it, but the evil ghosts block the wall, and the hunters who are scattered in it will be trapped in it forever and cannot be detached......
Because of this kind of superstitious thoughts, Li Yongdang and the six of them were particularly afraid of the tree maze, which was a forest of revenants, and they would rather break into the Tyrannosaurus forbidden area than enter the tree maze.
Meng Fan knows the truth about the tree alley, but he can't speak, he wants to subdue the tree for his own use, and bring it back to the real world to tide over the difficulties, if the truth is revealed, who does the tree blame belong to?
Meng Fan pondered for a moment, saw that everyone was staring at him nervously, shook his head and smiled: "Okay, since everyone said so, let's not enter this forbidden area." He sighed that it was a pity that no one had set foot in the tree alley maze for decades, and there must have been a lot of excellent treasures, but it was a pity that he didn't have it.
Li Yongdang didn't feel pity at all, he was only afraid that Meng Fan would change his hexagram, and hit the railroad while it was hot: "It's right if you don't go in, we have deviated from the main route, fortunately, it's still early, speed up the pace to catch up, maybe we can catch up with them tomorrow." ”
"Yes, and there was an accident on the road last night, it was too unsafe, I suggest it is better to rush during the day." Li Yongyong proposed.
At the mention of Li Zhengqiang's death, everyone couldn't help but feel a slight pain in their hearts, but they quickly returned to calm. It is sad to have casualties, but the living still need to continue to move forward, which is not ruthless, but the law of survival.
The team spent an early morning, trekking through mountains and rivers to the bamboo forest, obviously had reached the entrance of the tree maze, but did not enter, but turned away instead, quite anticlimactic. However, except for Meng Fan, no one is secretly happy, as long as they don't enter the tree maze, even if they walk for another day, they are happy.
The tree alley maze is on the west side of the valley, and the team needs to walk for at least an hour and a half to find the main road and river, and only by walking in the general direction of the source of the Aoki River can they reach Aoki Castle.
It's the fifth day of the competition, and a third of the fifteen-day competition has passed, but fortunately, yesterday was a lot of gains, temporarily relieving the team's anxiety.
Li Yongdang was still walking at the front of the team, leading the team forward, Meng Fan hung behind the tail, in charge of the back of the palace, he was silent, pondering his own affairs.
It's not that he doesn't want to capture the tree, the reason why he promised Li Yong to dare to leave the forbidden area is because he thought of a problem: according to the character of the village chief Li Hongliang, he will definitely not let himself take away the tree, but he can't use the tree monster sawed into two, this contradiction will inevitably intensify, and he will challenge the interests of the entire Li Zhuang.
So after thinking about it, the strange thing of catching the tree can only be delayed, and after the big deal, you can come alone after the game.
"Eh, what's going on?!"
There was a sudden shout in front of him, and Meng Fan suddenly came back to his senses and rushed over like an arrow.
"What's going on?" When he came to the front, he saw Li Yongda's face shocked, but he did not suffer from the beast as expected.
"Li Yongdare, why was he surprised?" Meng Fan asked again in a low voice.
"Meng Er, you're here!" Li Yong dared to point to a green forest in front of him and said, "Look at that pine forest, did we stay there just now?" ”
Pine forest?
Meng Fan looked in the direction pointed by Li Yongda, and there was indeed a verdant pine forest one hundred and fifteen meters away, the breeze hit, the pine forest swayed slightly, and the artistic conception was melodious and quiet.
"It's that you're thinking too much," said Meng Fan with a smile, "the soil here is suitable for pine trees, and there must be a pine forest in the next area, so it's not worth making a fuss." ”
Li Yong dared to touch the soil, there were many dry pine cones on the ground, and he whispered: "I hope I think too much....."
Meng Fan's ears are extremely strong, even if Li Yongda's voice is very small, he can hear it clearly, he shook his head secretly, Li Yongdare is still too cautious and timid.
"Don't scare yourself, just go." Meng Fan patted Li Yonggan's shoulder and motioned to move on.
Li Yong dared to nod and returned to the front of the team, and the group walked slowly into the pine forest, the pine forest shaded the sun, and the forest was very cool, and after walking more than three hundred steps, the seven people left the pine forest.
"Three hundred and thirty-two steps."
Meng Fan wrote down the footsteps, and took a knife and cut a straight knife under the pine wood on the left three sides, marked as a mark, and looked back at the pine forest before leaving, the forest was quiet, as if his undisturbed heart, thinking that the pine forest and the forbidden area were separated by thousands of meters, even a small ripple was quickly calm.
Meng Fan caught up with the team, and after another eight hundred and fifty steps, a pine forest appeared in front of him!
These pine forests are distributed in small groups, which may not seem to be many, but in fact they occupy mountains and mountains and are everywhere, so it is not surprising that pine forests have reappeared.
This time Li Yong dared not panic, the team quickly walked into the forest, as soon as they entered the forest, the coolness came to their faces, and the forest seemed to have the magic power to isolate the outside world!
"Four hundred and twenty steps."
Meng Fan meditated on the steps out of the forest again, and made two cuts under the last pine tree, and was sure that this was just an ordinary pine forest.
After walking more than 1,000 steps to the northeast, the forest is dense again, but there is a bamboo forest, and everyone is suddenly relieved, if it is not for the bamboo forest, it will make people think that they are going around in circles.
The bamboo forest is very small, more than 100 steps out, Meng Fan was sure that it was safe at the moment, so he did not engrave the mark again. Li Yong in front of him dared to shout loudly, to speed up his pace, and began to hurry, the team was like a car that let go of the accelerator and accelerated in vain.
As if affected by his mood, his steps were fast, but after only a quarter of an hour, everyone was stunned on the spot.
There is another Masson pine forest ahead!
Tall pine forests stand in front of you, sheltering the distance. Meng Fan looked back into the distance, the maze of tree alleys on the west side seemed to have never gone far, and his heart "clicked", and an extremely bad premonition rose.
Li Yong dared not stop, perhaps also wanting to prove something, he strode forward and quickly entered the forest.
The forest is still extraordinarily quiet, the sun shines through the trees and falls to the ground, but there is no heat, only coolness surrounds the body, making people not want to leave the shadow of the pine forest.
But Li Yong dared to hold his breath and walked quickly, and in less than two minutes, the seven people walked out of the pine forest.
"Three hundred and thirty-two steps!"
Meng Fan shouted out in a low voice, only to feel creepy, he found the pine wood on the third left, and there was indeed a scratch on the tree, which was a mark made by himself!
That's impossible!!!
After walking more than 2,000 steps, you actually came back again?!
"Meng Er, what are you doing in a daze, why don't you leave quickly?" Li Yongan urged in front.
"Hmm," Meng Fan bowed his head in response, and suddenly looked up again and said, "It's coming." He buried his head in the follow, and he just wanted to immediately pull out his legs and run to the front to find out.
Well?
But before leaving, Meng Fan turned back and glanced at the pine forest again.
I saw that there was a breeze in the pine forest, the trunks of the trees swayed gently, and the sunlight in it was faint, and it was still so deep. There was a coolness coming out of the wind, which aroused goosebumps in one of his arms!
