At night, the forest is silent, with the occasional roar of an unknown beast or the chirping of a bird like a nightingale.

Through the gaps in the leaves, you can see a bright moon hanging in the night.

Three hammocks have been erected.

While in the Oasis, the Needle Gold Anomaly turned into a spear scorpion leader and hunted a large number of acid green lizards. With the stomach pouches of these green lizards serving as water bags, Cangsu and others focused their labor on making hemp rope and coarse cloth.

They first made hemp ropes of varying thicknesses, and then used the thinnest hemp ropes to weave the simplest coarse cloth.

Using this coarse cloth and hemp rope, they made hammocks.

Because of the lack of materials in the oasis and the amount of labor, in the end, only three hammocks were made by the others.

However, although there were five of them, they didn't need that much.

Every night, at least two people were assigned to keep vigil. There are five people in the small group, and there are exactly three people left, enjoying the three hammocks.

Supplies are tight, and the three hammocks are a valuable collective property for this small team.

In the center of the three hammocks is a burning bonfire.

Unaffected by the wind, the campfire glowed orange, crackling and sparkling from time to time.

The surroundings have been carefully inspected by needles, and there is no sign of a colony of fire venomous bees.

Needle Gold almost lost his life because of the fire poison, so he naturally paid great attention to this aspect.

But in fact, even if Zidi informed the existence of the needle gold fire poison bee in time at that time, the needle gold who had just woken up did not have the ability to explore the surroundings.

Speaking of which, the exploration team of Cangshu and Cyanobacteria did not know about the fire poison bee before they met Needle Gold. They often lit fires in the forest, and they were not attacked by fire bees.

Dinner had just been served, and all five of them were satisfied.

At the moment, the team has a good food stockpile. Even when they came out of the oasis, the five of them rarely replenished new food and water along the way.

They did a lot of preparation in the oasis.

When they reached the forest, where supplies were far more abundant than in the desert, the worries about food and water had dropped again.

Greybeard lit the bonfire and stared at the map in his hand. He was old and his eyesight was declining, and he held a sheepskin map in one hand and a lens in the other, and looked closely to his eyes.

Sometimes, he would take his eyes off the map and mumble to himself, as if he was calculating something. The hands will also cooperate, drawing criss-crossing lines on the grass.

Sometimes, he would take out his charcoal and carefully add a few black lines to the parchment map.

The charcoal he uses is a charcoal pen that is burned black at one end of the firewood and then sharpened to use.

After studying for a while, Cangsu raised his head, laughed, and reported to the needle gold: "Lord needle gold, our progress is very fast. According to my estimates, as long as we keep walking, we will be able to reach the place where we entered the forest in a day or two. ”

This is mainly due to the fact that with the protection of the needle, the speed of the entire team is much faster than Cangsu expected.

"I have not-so-good news here - we don't have much pink potion on hand. Zidi was grinding the materials, and after hearing Cang Xu's words, she spoke.

The materials she was grinding were all collected during the day, along the way.

These include the feathers and blood of the Iron Feather Bird, the green-spotted poison moss that poisons the white buds, and so on.

The abundance of materials in the forest is by no means comparable to that of the desert.

However, the main material used to make the pink flask is a glowing ore. This ore is also food for monkey-tailed brown bears.

Purple Tilly did not collect this material.

The exploration team will need this pink potion to mark along the way. Doing so not only prevents people from getting lost in the forest, but also sometimes acts as a signal for help.

"How long will it last?" asked Needle Gold.

Zidi had already calculated, and replied directly at this moment: "According to the most economical way, it can support for three days." ”

Needle Gold nodded slightly, and after thinking for a while, he replied: "There is enough time, there is no need to deliberately search for ores, we still have the first goal of rushing back to the original location." ”

No one has an opinion.

After this series of events, Needle Gold has supreme authority and influence in this five-person team.

After some discussion, Greybeard, Purple Ty, and White Bud all lay dormant in their hammocks.

Tonight is the vigil of needle gold and cyanobacteria at the same time.

In the desert, two people take turns keeping vigils each night, with one person in charge of the first half of the night and one person in charge of the second half of the night.

But when they arrived in the forest, because the trees were overgrown and the view was obscured, it was adjusted to two people keeping vigil at the same time.

The night is getting darker.

The forest appears deeper and more terrifying.

Predators tend to come out at night.

This makes the forest much more dangerous at night than during the day.

Cyanobacteria has a vigilant look, and he will react at the slightest disturbance.

The revival and addition of white buds and cyanobacteria have greatly reduced the burden of needle gold.

Needle Gold feels energetic. Although he was the vanguard of the whole day, he was in charge of the vigil at night.

It's not that his stamina needs to be improved, it's that the green lizard eyes are so useful!

The threat lurking in the forest is almost invisible in the face of needle gold.

"When it comes to practical value, the green lizard eyes are definitely number one. "I feel it very deeply.

Without the eyes of the green lizard, the young knight could only move forward slowly step by step, exploring slowly, his mind always tense, passively guarding against a sneak attack from anywhere.

With the eyes of the green lizard, the needle gold can detect the crisis in advance, and can take the initiative to control the situation and actively allocate his physical energy and energy.

In the passive and active state, there is a huge gap between the consumption of human physical fitness and energy.

This is a qualitative change.

Creak!

Suddenly, the screams of animals in attack could be heard in the forest not far away.

Cyanoza was suddenly startled, and the hand that was always on the handle of the knife immediately squeezed hard.

But the next moment, a squeaky scream came to an abrupt end, and it was never seen again.

Cyanobacteria frowned and looked serious.

There is no specific bloodline, and although Cyanobacteria is a bronze-level elite, it also does not have the ability to have night vision. He could only sift through his surroundings with the faint light of the fire.

A little farther away, he could only see a pitch black, and he couldn't tell if there was nothing in the darkness or if there was a wolf or a poisonous snake lurking.

In the dark forest, scenes of hunting and fleeing for survival are going on.

The light of the fire in the makeshift camp dispersed many of the beasts, but it also seemed to attract certain beings.

There seemed to be something stirring in the darkness of the forest. Sometimes, it's the sound of dry branches being trampled. Sometimes, it's a mysterious cry that suddenly rises to a high pitch.

Cyanobacteria grew nervous, and he felt as if something was slowly and quietly approaching the camp.

"I'm going to investigate. To have a situation, you have to shout loudly in time. At this time, he opened his mouth and explained the blue-green algae.

"Yes, master. Cyanobacteria responded immediately.

Needlegold burrowed into the darkness and soon disappeared from the blue-green algae's view.

He also doesn't have the ability to see at night, so he activates his heart core at this time.

The vision suddenly changed dramatically.

At night, the basic color of the forest is more gloomy, there is no wind, and the living life that can move exudes pale red, orange, fluorescent green, and other colors, which is more conspicuous than during the day.

During the day, needle gold requires a combination of human eyes and lizard eyes. But at night, in the darkness of the forest, the human eye was almost useless, and both of his eyes turned into lizard pupils.

Needle Gold first patrolled around the camp a few times, killing a few beasts with precision, temporarily clearing the threat near the camp.

Then, looking in one direction, he went deep into the forest.

After a certain distance from the makeshift camp, Needle Gold slowly stopped his steps and began to undress.

He stripped himself naked, then climbed the tree again, carefully arranging his clothes in the treetops.

Then, he firmly remembered the position.

If he forgets, he will have to return to the makeshift camp naked. If such a state is discovered by Zidi and Cangsu, it will definitely be very embarrassing.

After going down to the ground without a thread, he walked forward for dozens of steps, looked around, and after confirming that there was no one else, he began to activate the heart core.

The mysterious and strange blood red devil can surge out of the heart core, quickly covering the whole body of the needle.

In a cloud of red light, the human figure of the needle gold appeared to be like ice and snow collapsing in the sunlight, turning into the shape of a lizard.

The red light quickly dissipated, and in its original location, the needle gold was gone, replaced by an acid green lizard.

This acid green lizard has strong limbs, a long tail, and green scales.

Needle Gold observed himself, and he could only see his own vague pale green outline in the green lizard's field of vision.

"The field of view is lower, but much higher than that of the Spear Scorpion. ”

Needlegold tried to sniff the air, and immediately discovered that lizards had a far more sensitive sense of smell than humans.

"In the air, there seems to be ...... The smell of water?"

He opened his mouth slightly, spat out a huge purple-black snake hyacinth, and succeeded in hissing a snake chirping.

Needle Gold stepped forward and hind legs, manipulating the sturdy lizard body and walking in the dark forest.

The needle gold walked smoothly.

Because the green lizard has four legs, it is very similar to the feeling of a person crawling on the ground with his hands and feet on the ground.

Another reason is that this isn't the first time Needlegold has tried to completely transform the green lizard. As early as in the desert, he took advantage of the late night to keep vigil alone, and changed many times.

"But there are still a lot of differences between crawling with human hands and feet. Needle Gold stopped and silently summed up the experience.

He turned his head and looked behind him.

The biggest difference was behind him - that stout lizard tail.

When changing the spear scorpion leader, the scorpion tail is slender and upturned, which has little effect on the needle. But when he turned into a lizard, the lizard's tail was thick and heavy, and it was too long to drag on the ground.

Especially when the needle gold walks forward on all fours, the lizard's tail will flick slightly from side to side. This shaking affects the balance of the needle's body, and the faster the needle moves forward, the deeper the effect.

"When the acid green lizard runs, not only the limbs, torso, but also the tail all work together, whether it is slow or running, it has a perfect rhythm of movement, which is a completely natural rhythm. ”

"Lizard larvae that have just come out of their eggshells can be clumsy. But as time goes by, they grow up, and after being trained by activities such as pounce, run, frolic, etc., they will naturally master this rhythm of movement. ”

"But I didn't. ”

"I'm like a lizard toddler, just born, but with a mature lizard body. ”

"Even though I used the night time to exercise many times, I didn't succeed in mastering the correct way for the green lizard to run. ”

Needle Gold felt that his tail was in the way, but he couldn't help it.

Just like he also secretly practiced the spear scorpion form, high-speed turns are still enough to choke.

He is a human after all, and the time it takes to transform into a demonic beast form is too short.

"There's water here. "Needle Gold followed the smell of the water and found a small pool.

"As long as I have sufficient training, I will definitely be able to completely master the form of the green lizard at some point in the future!"

Needle Gold encouraged himself in his heart and began to exercise his tail near the waterhole.

He first shook the long thick tail behind him vigorously, making a whirring wind.

Then he began to rush towards a large tree, and after passing by the tree, he flicked his tail vigorously and hit the trunk.

The trunk swayed slightly, the dense branches swayed even more, and the leaves rustled for a while, but not a single leaf had fallen.

Bang Bang Bang ......

In a series of sounds, Needlegold uses trees to train his tail.

After training for a while, he began to change his attacks.

He first lunged at a tree, then with all the strength of his limbs, he changed direction violently, using the huge inertia of his body, and flung his tail to the trunk.

Syllable!

The trunk shook a little, large pieces of bark fell, and the branches rattled as if a gale.

This kind of attack is much more fierce than before.

"With such a force that even a charging Ranger can pull it out of his horse. ”

"Hmm? Not quite right. ”

"The lizard has stubby limbs, and I can't reach the cavalry on horseback. ”

"Maybe I can try, the moment I flick my tail to attack, kick the ground with my hind limbs on the ground, my whole body, and form a posture with my head down and tail high. In this way, the tail can hit higher. ”

Thinking of this, Needle Gold began to try.

As a result, on the first attempt, he couldn't control his strength, and when he flicked his tail, his hind limbs kicked the ground too hard, lifting his whole body up, and the lizard's back hit the ground.

On the second attempt, his force was not adjusted correctly, and the upward push force decreased, but the forward force increased, causing him to fall headlong in the mud and grass. It is very close to the falling posture of the dog eating.

Needle Gold propped up the ground on all fours, opened his mouth and spit out mud and grass, and squirted from his nose violently, shaking his head for a while, and finally cleaned his nose and mouth.

The two failed attempts did not discourage him, but only increased the motivation to continue trying.

After a few more attempts, he became more and more proficient in the needle movements, but after thinking about it, he stopped the training program again.

"Although I was able to hit higher targets, the back half of my body was suspended in the air, which caused the power of the tail flick to be much weaker than that of the four-legged ground. ”

"And the back half of my body was hanging in the air, so I had a short time in the air. This flaw is too big. ”

Needle Gold was familiar with the knight's fighting style, and quickly simulated a scene in his mind.

A ranger rushed over, and he turned into a green lizard and rushed forward. As he approached, he jerked over and flicked his tail, the back half of his body cocked, and his tail flicked towards the Rangers.

But at the same time, the Ranger stabbed his spear forward and aimed it at the ...... Well...... The rump of a green lizard.

When I conceived of this, I didn't want to simulate it anymore.

Adjusted back to the way of flicking the tail attack just now, and practiced hard with needle gold.

Hiss......

Until the needle gold opened his mouth and smoked cold air.

"I seem to have twisted my tail!"

There was a strong pain in the tail, and the slight shaking of the tail made the pain like a whip covered with iron thorns, and it was drawn on the head of the needle.

In this case, Needle Gold had no choice but to stop the tail training and start the next training.

He squatted on the ground and craned his neck, and his Adam's apple suddenly bulged into a round bag.

The round bag rolls and moves from the neck to the mouth.

The needle gold took advantage of the situation and opened his mouth wide.

Then the next moment, a cloud of green acid erupted from his mouth.

The acid sprays exactly on a tree.

The thick trunk of the tree was corroded by the acid, making a clattering sound and emitting a pungent smoke.

After a few breaths, the trunk of the tree corroded into a large hole, which could no longer support the lush upper part, and after a creak, the tree fell to the ground with a thud.

Needlegold took a few steps back, spraying continuously towards the surrounding trees.

The liquid he shot out almost accurately hit the target, except for a mass that grazed the bark and landed on a stone.

After a few breaths, the damaged trees went one after another, and the roar continued for a while.

The stones that were unfortunately destroyed, though they were not small, were also reduced to nothing. This is normal, the acid of the lizard can corrode even the gneiss, let alone this ordinary stone. If it was a silver-level green lizard acid, the black iron-level spear scorpion would also die instantly, and only the silver spear scorpion could resist it.

After ejaculating so many times in a row, Needle Gold also felt weak, his head couldn't help but shrug down, and his spirit was a little sluggish.

Acid spraying is not a regular way of fighting the Green Lizard, and it is the Green Lizard's biggest hole card.

The green lizard will not use this hole card unless forced to do so.

And for Needle Gold, this ranged weapon is the most suitable for him. Because he also has a talent for precision from the Hundred Needles family. Although the number of exercises is very small, the needle gold sprays acid, which is much more powerful than the green lizard, and it is almost impossible to shoot anywhere.

After a moment of respite, the needle gold gradually gained some strength.

The whole body conveyed a sense of weakness to him.

The sturdy limbs felt soft, and the lizard's body became heavy.

At the same time, he also felt a dry mouth.

His body was dehydrated.

Green lizards contain a lot of water in their bodies, which allows them to synthesize corrosive acids. This means that after the acid is ejected, the green lizard will fall into a state of dehydration.

Now, even if you want to spray acid, you can't shoot it out for the time being.

Even due to the lack of water in the body, the rate of acid synthesis has plummeted to the bottom.

Needle Jin moved his limbs and came to the waterhole.

The waterhole was not deep, and the green lizard saw no aquatic creatures.

However, for the sake of prudence, he did not take the opportunity to enter the water to exercise the green lizard's swimming ability.

Needle Gold first stretched out the snake letter, licked a few mouthfuls of water, and found that there was no problem, so he lowered his head and poured water.

A large amount of water flowed into his stomach, and then stored in the other three stomach pouches under the deliberate control of the needle.

"It's a thirst-quenching one. ”

With a deep sigh, he began to actively control his internal organs again, trying to speed up the production of acid.

The water he had stored in his stomach was squeezed out and trickled into the sac at the bottom of his neck, where it began to turn into acid.

"The speed of this transformation is that I can have a full bag of acid in about a night. As before, shooting more than twenty times in a row is not a problem. ”

It has now been discovered that when he changed from a human form to a full green lizard, the sac contained only half of the acid reserves.

After a few training sessions, he also discovered the art of spraying acid.

Under normal circumstances, the green lizard will shoot its venom violently, often in one shot, at most two or three times.

But he only sprayed a small ball at a time, and he deliberately controlled the nearby muscles, so that the number of shots increased considerably.

Needle Gold lowered his head again and opened his mouth to absorb water.

This time, he absorbs water, and it is different from before, he controls different organs and tissues and different muscle groups.

This time, the pool water went directly into his poison sac, instead of going down his esophagus and into his stomach.

This is the acid green lizard's ability to take drugs.

After suffering from the stinger of the Fat Ball Flying Fish, the green lizards can detoxify each other.

And the poison that is inhaled and stored in the poison sac not only does not endanger other organs of the body, but also can synthesize a more violent venom with its own acid.

This is not uncommon in nature.

Afterwards, Greybeard casually mentions a kind of desert beetle. This beetle preys on ants and deliberately collects formic acid. When the beetle encounters the natural predator, the mongoose will spray out the collected formic acid and shoot the mongoose in the face, so that the mongoose will flee in embarrassment.

Lying on the edge of the pool for a long time without strenuous activity, Needle Jin felt a chill in his body.

Temperature also has a big impact on the lizard's ability to move.

That's why green lizards rush to the granite clusters at dawn every day to use the temperature of the stones to raise their body temperature. When their body temperature rises, they become more mobile.

"Tonight's training is almost over. ”

Needlegold finally came to the big trees.

Most of the fallen trees have been corroded, but there are still some treetops and branches left.

The corrosive ability of the acid has been significantly reduced.

After all, under the deliberate control of the needle, the number of consecutive shots is contested, but the amount of each cloud of acid shot out is limited.

Although, these trees will definitely be corroded clean, but the needlegold can't wait.

He touched his right forefoot to the remaining surface of the trunk, urging the nucleus.

The red light emitted, and the red threads wrapped around the trunk of the tree, recovering almost instantly, leaving only a small amount of soot in place.

Even if a tree is ordinary, it is a living thing.

As long as it is a living organism, it can be absorbed by the blood core.

But the magic of transformation is scarce.

All the tree remains were disposed of, and there was no option in the heart core of the needle gold to turn into a tree.

"The acid destroys the life essence of the tree, so the associated bloodlines absorb very little. ”

"If I absorb a lot of trees directly, I should eventually be able to transform into trees. ”

It's almost time.

Needle Gold returns to the distance, changes into a human form, climbs to the treetops, and finds his clothes to put on.

It is worth mentioning that the hole in the back of his pants has been patched.

It was Zidi who accidentally discovered it and secretly found the needle gold and helped him make up for it.

Return to the makeshift camp.

"Master, you're back!" Cyanoza saw the needle gold, and his frown suddenly relaxed, and his eyes showed obvious admiration.

Shortly after he left, he heard a thud that sounded like the sound of a tree falling.

"The master must have caught some beast and fought them. ”

"With such a violent momentum, the beast lurking in the darkness must be terrifying!"

"But now that the master has returned, he is unscathed, not even a trace of tear on his clothes, or a trace of blood. ”

"Awesome!"

"He is a man who has the power of the heart. ”

"Even the darkness that can't see the five fingers can't stop the master's footsteps!"

"You know, on this strange island, the master can only rely on the strength of the flesh...... What kind of scene should it be if it can really stimulate the fighting spirit?"

Cyanobacteria stared at the needle gold tightly, without blinking, and its gaze became more and more eager.

Needle Jin coughed: "Is there anything going on with you here?"

"The camp is very safe with the help of the owner. Cyanobacteria replied immediately.

Needle Gold nodded, a little unable to stand the gaze of cyanobacteria: "You stay here and continue to patrol, and I'll go to the other side to have a look." ”

"Yes, master. Cyanobacteria replied immediately.

His gaze followed the back of the needle until it was obscured by the trees.

"The master has experienced a fierce battle, the clouds are light and the wind is light, calm and calm, this is the demeanor of the strong. ”

Or rather, the battle in the darkness just now just made him stretch his muscles. "Cyanobacteria was amazed in my heart.
