The night was dark and dimly lit. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After leaving the camp, Alan followed the scout's mark, leaning against the foot of the mountain on one side and the dense jungle on the other. Gradually, the light of the camp fire was no longer visible, and the neighing of people and horses was faint. Loneliness envelops the mountains and forests, and also surrounds Allen. The humidity of the air began to rise, and the oncoming wind carried with it the faint smell of rotting leaves. There is some faint light in the forest, which is emitted from some luminous plants. These plants emit a shimmering light at night to attract animals. Attracted animals eat them, and they drop their seeds on the fur of the animals and spread them throughout the mountains and forests through animal walking. The cycle of life and death is so wonderfully passed on, and sometimes the shimmer attracts dangerous beasts. So after Allen left the camp for nearly a kilometer, a huge black bear stopped him. Unlike their counterparts on Earth, the black bear is taller on the planet, this black bear is almost four meters tall when it stands up, and its head, chest, and shoulder blades are embedded with blood-red crystals to provide the black bear with terrifying strength.
Alan didn't have time to entangle with the black bear, and let out a slight breath. The black bear was immediately frightened, turned around and ran.
Gradually, the scouts left fewer and fewer signs. It was already five hundred meters away from the previous sign, but Alan had not yet found a new sign, but fortunately, it was not long before he saw an arrow drawn under a tree with a sharp weapon such as a dagger. From here, the ground became softer and softer, and it was clear that he was getting close to Zedi. As Rodeck had said earlier, there was no land here, and since the Great Tunnel project was disrupted by the Hellbugs, some bugs have dug into the tunnel's exit. But the bugs didn't like the damp soil, so they went back to the dry ground in the heart of the mountain. In the area dug up by the insects, there was a stream of underground water that first connected to the mountains, so the flowing water poured in, mixed with the soil and rotting leaves, and many animals stumbled, died, and rotted here. Over time, swamps began to form here. While this isn't the same as the strict sense of the word, it's all the same thing, and it's all about traps that need scouts to find their way.
Rodek sent a first-class scout, a total of ten people, but none of them have returned to the camp so far.
Approaching Zedi, Alan could feel a dangerous smell in the air. Especially in the depths of Zedi, he felt a faint aura. It was clearly not the breath of a human, but some kind of creature. Although it was not obvious, under the contact of the qi machine, the faint aura quickly shrank into the depths. Alan frowned, and he picked up a piece of dead wood. When the eye fell, puffs of green smoke rose from the dead wood, and then the front of the flame lit up, and it became a simple torch.
Alan carried the torch deeper, in the firelight, in the shadows of the mountain forest. From time to time, something was watching Alan, and then they quickly retreated back into the shadows. The light of the fire shone less than three meters around Allen, which should have shone farther away, but something in the air seemed to be drying up the transmission of light. Not only that, but Eren vaguely felt some kind of force field that would disturb people's perceptions. It's not his sensibility that makes it difficult to detect. It's a bit like the force field under Alice's cloth in Agareth's legacy. But it's far from Alice's force field. Alan had an intuition, it was like a spider's web, and this force field was probably planted by the owner of a vague qi machine deep in the field, and the purpose was naturally to capture the prey.
After walking for nearly a kilometer or so, Alan stopped. Under a tree in front lay a man, a scout sent by Rodek. When Alan didn't know whether he was dead or alive, the man looked up and looked in the direction of the firelight, and it turned out that he was not dead. Alan hurriedly walked over, squatted down and asked, "How are you?" ”
The man was covered in mud and leaves, as if he had just come out of a swamp, when in fact the ground was so soft that he stepped on it as if he were stepping on cotton. The man said with difficulty, "My lord, there is ...... in there."
At the end of the sentence, suddenly the whole person flew up, and then flew backwards. Alan snorted, and he felt a faint breath wrapped around the man. Reach out and catch a flame in the flames at the moment. Eren popped out the flames, and a little spark drifted away, but it grew in mid-air, eventually turning into a fist-sized golden fireball. The fireball chased the man, and in the light of the fire, something could be seen coming out of the scout's belly, and it turned out to be a tentacle. Fireballs slammed into the tentacles, and the flames ignited the entire tentacles as if they were dipped in oil. The tentacles immediately retracted, and the scout fell to the ground with a thud, his eyes wide and dead.
Allen's eyes were cold, and he leaned forward, constantly pointing the ground and rushing forward. The tentacles were still carrying flames, and they quickly retracted and sprinkled sparks all the way. Alan followed the all-too-clear trace, and in the blink of an eye, he went deep into the plains. The tentacle burrowed down, and there was a sound of water, and it was already a swamp. Alan landed on a severed tree, holding the hilt of his sword lightly with one hand, and his eyes glazed over. Pure inducing spiritual power turned into a sharp blade and stabbed into Zedi, and a few moments later, a series of low whistling sounds sounded in Zedi, and then Zedi began to bubble one after another, like boiling water.
A moment later, a large puddle of mud spurted out, and muddy water and rotting leaves were splashed in all directions. Alan stretched out his hand, and the dirt that was thrown at him bounced back like it hit an invisible wall. There was a rain of mud on the ground. In the mud rain, something came out of the swamp. The monster had a huge head, like an octopus, but with a human face. He looked like a man in his forties and fifties, with two large, pupilless eyes and a large open mouth, and inside were two rows of yellow teeth dripping with sewage. From under the head, a circle of flying tentacles appeared, and the tentacles stretched out in the air, and at the bottom were faces. There are men and women, old and young.
Alan threw the torch away, and instead of extinguishing it, the torch fell on the ground, but instead raised a large fire, illuminating the monster even more clearly. The monster's head can also be seen with a clump of tentacles floating on it, like a human hair; And the faces under the feet don't know if there are some changes because of the light, as if everyone is staring at Allen. At this time, several corpses gradually floated on the plain near the monster, all of which were scouts sent by Rodek. The corpse was already decomposing and it was unknown what had been experienced, and then the monster began to flapping its tentacles, as if to intimidate Alan.
Alan sneered, the big sword was unsheathed, and suddenly a hissing sound sounded in the air.
The sword is overflowing!
As if frightened, the monster stepped back, then opened its mouth to let out a strange roar from the man's face. Several tentacles danced and slammed into Allen's face.
The wind is howling.
