Chapter 44: The Wild Lands
Through the pale blue mist, the scene ahead gradually became clearer. In the past half a month, Yi Chen has been shuttling in the endless desert, and even when he arrives in the country of forgetting worries, he only has some more houses.
And now, Yi Chen's eyes are full of green mountains and green waters, which is far from the wild land he imagined. The mountains are rolling in the distance, the vegetation is flourishing in the distance, and between the two hills in front of you is a pool of turquoise water, reflecting the peaks and the blue sky and white clouds.
After walking in the desert for half a month, this pool of water has an irresistible allure to Yi Chen.
Without hesitation, he ran over to the edge of the pool, then threw himself on the ground with a thud and shook his head in the water.
"It's so comfortable!" said Yi Chen, lifting his head out of the water.
Wiping off the drops of water on his face, Yi Chen looked at the familiar and unfamiliar boy in the pool, although he still looked a little thin, but he was much more energetic than in the previous mirror.
For some reason, after the near-death experience in the desert, Yi Chen did not get weaker, but his physical strength was much better.
Yi Chen was looking at the reflection in the water in wonder, and suddenly noticed that the image in the water had changed a little, and a hideous face appeared behind him - it was the face of a monster with bared teeth!
Before Yi Chen could take a closer look, the monster suddenly opened its bloody mouth and bit down on Yi Chen's head, and he quickly rolled on the spot to avoid it.
Turning around, Yi Chen found that this monster was more than a foot tall, and its body was a bit like a bison, but its head was like a tiger, and it was extremely fierce. When the monster saw that the blow missed, its front legs flew into the air and pounced on Yi Chen again.
Yi Chen quickly got up and ran away.
Suddenly, there was a "whoosh" arrow in the air, followed by a painful roar of the monster, and then a "bang" sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
He stopped, and when he looked back, the monster was already on the ground, its limbs fluttering, and its mouth was snorting, looking very painful. After a while, the monster stopped struggling, apparently dead. Only then did he realize that the monster had a thick pad like a cat's claw on its legs, no wonder it walked behind him and didn't hear a sound.
Yi Chen approached the monster and saw that a bamboo arrow pierced the back of the monster's neck, which should be the right point, otherwise with the monster's huge body, it would be impossible to hang up after being hit by an arrow. The monster's skin is thick and the flesh is thick, this bamboo arrow is shot from a distance, and an arrow actually passes through the back of the neck and hits the vital point, and the strength and accuracy of the person who shoots the arrow are extraordinary.
And this bamboo arrow, Yi Chen has seen it for the second time. Previously, when he crossed the mountains on the border of China and entered the desert land, he was also one such bamboo arrow, shooting the big snake behind him.
Yi Chen looked around, he didn't know where the person who saved him was, and arched his hand: "Thank you Engong for saving him again! If you don't give up, please show up!"
After speaking, Yi Chen stopped for a while, but there was silence all around. The benefactor didn't want to come out to meet, and Yi Chen was not reluctant, took out the kettle, walked to the edge of the pool and filled it with water, and then prepared to leave.
Yi Chen's purpose is to find Ray-Ban and ask him to heal him. Although it is unlikely that Ray-Ban is still alive, since he has come to the Wild Land, he can only be treated as if he is still alive.
Yi Chen imagined himself as Ray-Ban in his heart, and said to himself, "If I am expelled from the Terran barrier, where will I go?"
Coming to a strange place, there is no way back, there is no destination, dazed and panic will occupy his heart, and he can only go down according to his feelings. But the instinct to survive will keep him looking for a safe place to take refuge along the way. And to find a safe place, you must be very aware of the nearby terrain and landforms, then you must go to a place where you can observe the surrounding environment.
Thinking of this, Yi Chen looked around for a moment, and then walked in the direction of the highest peak.
Yi Chen activated the armor, first, to protect himself, and secondly, to increase his speed. After walking less than a cup of tea, Yi Chen walked into the mountains and forests.
This mountain forest is very lively, birds and insects chirp, endlessly, under the feet are soft dead leaves, I don't know how thick they are piled up, although Yi Chen reads a lot, but most of the plants in this mountain are not famous.
After walking more than ten steps, Yi Chen suddenly felt a tightness under his feet, and a vine wrapped around his calf, pulling him to quickly drag towards a big tree. Yi Chen hurriedly pulled out the dagger on his armor and cut the vines wrapped around his legs.
The vine was extremely tough, and before it could be cut off, it had been pulled to the foot of the big tree and slammed into the trunk. Countless vines instantly stretched out from the dense branches and leaves of the big tree and wrapped around Yi Chen's body.
Yi Chen could only swing the dagger indiscriminately, but soon his hand was also entangled in vines, and the dagger fell.
Countless vines tied Yi Chen tightly to the trunk of the tree like a net, making him unable to move, and the tighter and tighter he became, He Chen felt that his breathing became a little difficult. Fortunately, there is a battle armor body, otherwise it would have been strangled by these vines.
Suddenly, there was a crisp sound in the air, and a whip wind swept over and slashed at the trunk of the tree. Wherever the whip wind passed, the vines on the trunks of the trees were broken.
He felt the vines that bound him loosen and fell from the trunk.
At the same time, a woman in a black power suit with a long whip in her hand fell from the sky and stood beside Yi Chen. This woman is Mu Yu, the guard beside the Six Princes.
"You're less than two miles out of the barrier, and you've already died twice. Mu Yu looked at Yi Chen and said.
"In Xia Yichen, thank you girl for saving her life three times!"
"You don't have to thank me, it was the sixth prince who asked me to help you. Mu Yu looked at Yi Chen and said.
"The Sixth Prince?" Yi Chen said in surprise, "I don't know the Sixth Prince, why are you so attentive to me?"
"The six princes are people who cherish talents. Mu Yu looked at Yi Chen and said, "But to be honest, I followed you all the way, and I only saw that you were an ordinary person who was powerless, but I didn't see any talent in you." ”
"Talent, everyone's vision is different, and the measurement standards are different. Although Mu Yu's words made Yi Chen's heart unhappy, he still smiled and said, "Actually, I agree with the girl's point of view, I am just an ordinary person." ”
"If you go in further, I won't accompany you!" Mu Yu said to Yi Chen.
"Girl, please!" Yi Chen said dryly, and continued to walk into the forest.
"You!" Mu Yu looked at Yi Chen's back a little angrily, but he didn't know what to say.
Yi Chen had only taken two steps before he stopped, because he heard the sound of a tree branch breaking, coming from this direction. Mu Yu also heard it, and she looked around vigilantly.
The two of them looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tall figure walking towards this side, it was the monster that had just attacked Yi Chen by the pool. The monster was huge, walking through the woods, the trees that stood in its way snapped, and the wooden arrow was still stuck in the back of the neck, but it did not affect the monster's movement in the slightest. When the monster saw the two of them, it sped up and ran towards them with its scarlet eyes open.
