"It's not a monster, it's an animal" Ding Kun ran behind and repeated what Li Qing had just said, "These are all animals?" ”
"Yes, I have carefully observed along the way, the place where we are pathing, in fact, there is a dense biota, and I carefully recalled the first time we were attacked, it was not a simple attack, but a way of hunting. Attacking and hunting are different, and animals tend to be more persistent when hunting. But what I don't figure out is that these animals seem to be deliberately 'keeping things fresh,' what they hunt. Li Qing gradually slowed down, explaining what he was thinking, so that the team members and the team had a slightly clearer understanding of the surrounding environment, "When they grabbed the branches before, they could have bitten the prey to death first and then drag it up - this is also a general predatory practice." Why didn't you kill her first? Is it because they like to eat fresh meat? ”
"Fresh meat?" Momoko carried her team member Meizi on her back and said next to her, "What do you mean?"
"Some animals, like bears, don't like to eat dead meat, but for some reason, I always feel like the meat worms don't kill their prey for some other reason." Li Qing thought about it, but still didn't quite understand, "Forget it, no matter what, in the face of these strange animals, our principle is not to provoke if we can, and we don't know how big it is here, whether we can go out before dark, we have to speed up our pace and strive to leave the forest before dark, otherwise the danger at night is ten times that of the day." ”
"Ten times?" Zhang Qinliang clutched his stomach and tried to minimize his blood flow, "What do you mean?" ”
"On Earth, most predators like to come out at night because predators have night vision, while many prey don't. Neither do we, so before evening we had better find the town, and if we can't find one, find a relatively safe place to shelter at dusk. Li Qing said.
"Boss, how long will it take for us to get out of this forest?" Zhang Qinliang asked.
"How do I know, I don't even know if this is Earth or not." Li Qing shook his head: "Looking at the appearance of these things, there are many basic characteristics of the earth's creatures, but the prosperity and strangeness are not enough to describe a hundred times." So, whether this is the earth or not I don't know. I'm wondering if the background of the world we are in is the background of human immigration to aliens? And that willow tree or something, is the aboriginal of this world, another intelligent species in the form of a tree man. ”
"Who knows, as opponents, I hope they don't be too" Zhang Qinliang muttered, and the team moved on.
This jungle is really much bigger than imagined, Li Qing and others wandered in it for most of the day, still did not touch the clue, the team has been feeling that they have walked out of 200 kilometers, and have not touched a useful clue, and finally the sky is slowly darkening, and the forest sounded a strange "crow" call, as well as the sound of insects and frogs one after another.
"Yes, I don't think I can get out today." Seeing that the surroundings were getting darker and darker, and the visibility was shortened from three meters to more than two meters, Zhang Qinliang sighed, "What should I do?" No one went out, and no safe place was found, so where are you staying tonight? ”
"I had to find a relatively safe place." Li Qing took advantage of the last trace of the charm before dusk, and after leading the team forward, he found a vacant land with relatively few plants.
"That's it, raise a fire, animals are afraid of fire."
"I have a fire talisman here." After Momoko in the team put his companion on the ground, he took out a few Dao talismans from his arms. She was the person who consumed the most physique along the way, and now they had all experienced three worlds, and their strength and physique were about four times higher than that of ordinary people. Therefore, in the primeval jungle that is very difficult to walk, even the trialist can not bear to climb up and down for a day with an adult on his back.
After all, along the way, everyone was very fast in order to drive out of the forest before dark. Li Qing's team is okay, the branches take turns to carry them, but there is no one to help on the peach side, and in terms of weight, the plum is much heavier than the branches, and she is already out of breath at the moment.
"This thing is good, your team has a lot of these gadgets." Zhang Qinliang saw that the peach took out the fire talisman after the compass, and said with a smile: "I saw you take out a lot of gadgets along the way, the girl is careful, unlike our team, although there is an old lady, but it is the same as not." ”
"This mission is dangerous, I don't have the heart to quarrel with you." Chen Si heard Zhang Qinliang scolding her openly and secretly, stepped forward and kicked him, and then put the branch on the ground, "Go and pick up some firewood, it's much better than working blindly here." ”
"Why don't you go, let me go?" Zhang Qinliang took a sip on the spot, looked at the branches on the ground and shouted: "Forget it, see that you are still doing your best along the way, I ran errands, but I explained to you that it was Li Touer who gave the order in the team, not you." In the future, don't be okay with this command here and that, it's annoying to watch.
After saying this, Zhang Qinliang went into the depths of the dense fog to collect firewood.
"Don't run far, in this fog, the sound can't come too far. Also, don't touch things that look like firewood but aren't 100% sure it's firewood. Li Qing shouted uncomfortably to Zhang Qinliang, who had disappeared from view.
"Got it." An echo came from seven or eight meters away, "How can I not even know the firewood?" ”
After a sentence, Zhang Qinliang's voice disappeared on the other side. Within a day, Li Qing also had his own understanding of the environment in this mission world. This is a place similar to the earth, but life is a hundred times more dangerous than the earth.
However, this is also a good explanation, because species are a hundred times more prosperous than the earth, so the competition between natural organisms is a hundred times more fierce than that of the earth. For example, on the earth, there are 100 species competing in a forest, survival of the fittest, and with the advancement of time, the weak ones are eliminated, the strong ones gain a foothold, and the most powerful climb to the top of the food chain. But now, here, there are 10,000 species competing, you are excellent in 100, but you may not be a fart in 10,000, the competition is fierce, and if you are not careful, the whole species will be extinct.
So, every creature is arming itself without limits. From the ability to camouflage in the woods, to the ability to hunt, to the ability to escape, the ability to detect, and even intelligence, if you don't have a strong point, you will be eliminated long ago. So those who stay are elites, and that's why it's dangerous here.
In addition to species, Li Qing also has his own research on the surrounding environment, especially the red fog.
After all, at the end of the day, you can sum up a lot of things.
First of all, this red mist, like other fogs, could block people's vision, thicker than any kind of fog he had ever seen before, and even a trialist could not see far. In addition, this dense fog also has the effect of disturbing the magnetic field, not only the compass cannot be used, but the magic communication gems in Li Qing's team cannot be used either, so it can be judged that it is estimated that mobile phones and telegraphs and other things that rely on radio cannot be used. In addition to these two items, this dense fog also has some sound filtering effects, this kind of sound filtering is like a thin layer of soundproof cotton, which is inconspicuous in the near distance, and the two of them can't feel anything when they talk. But if you are far away, the diffusion of sound will be blocked, and it will not be transmitted too far.
Li Qing estimated that the sound would melt away when it reached a few tens of meters away, which is why this forest is so quiet - after all, it stands to reason that there are so many species here, and there are such noisy species that can't stop screaming all day long, it should be very noisy here. But because of the existence of the red mist, this forest that should have been very noisy is extremely quiet, and people can only hear the wind and grass around them for dozens of meters, and the sound seems lonely and terrifying.
"How's the branch?" After Zhang Qinliang left, Li Qing looked at the little girl lying on the ground and asked.
"You should be about to wake up, the paralyzing toxin will be gradually excreted and wiped away by the human body, and the human body has a self-healing function, isn't it?" Chen Si explained, but he didn't seem to understand these things, and the end changed to a rhetorical question.
"I think so, I see her breathing gradually calming down." After Li Qing glanced at the branches, he said to Ding Kun: "Let's go, let's explore the surrounding environment to make sure that there are no very dangerous species, and by the way, pick up some branches that can be burned." ”
"Hmm." Ding Kun nodded.
"Shall I go with me?" Peaches saw that Li Qing was going to go around, and immediately followed.
"You rest, your own team members still have to be taken care of, Chen Si can't be busy alone." Li Qing waved his hand, and walked into the depths of the fog with Ding Kun.
Looking around casually, Li Qing didn't see a very obvious danger, and then focused his mind on collecting firewood. Although the forest is surrounded by wood and grass, you have to pick up the firewood that can really be burned. Those who have been to the camping area have experience, but the wet wood that has just landed or grows on the tree cannot be burned at all, there is a lot of moisture in it, not only is it very difficult to ignite, even if you only throw one or two sticks into the fire, it can emit strong smoke, and it cannot be used as a fire at all.
Only those that have not seen water for more than ten days can be burned on grass and branches.
Li Qing carefully picked up the firewood, and before touching each piece of firewood, he carefully observed it several times, but even so, he was still deceived.
Deadwood Snake. Not only does it look exactly like a tree branch, but the snakeskin also has a layer of scales that are as rough as the bark to the touch, and it is no different from a branch in terms of texture, texture and weight. This powerful camouflage ability is a thousand times more sophisticated than those species on Earth. Even after Li Qing was bitten, he let go of his hand and guided the snake to flee after being bitten, Li Qing didn't see that it was a snake.
When I looked down, I saw a branch of a tree shooting away with a very fast degree of electricity.
