Chapter 168: Burning Wood in Distress

Shuttling through the dense sea of trees and jungles, for the rest of the trip, this improvised adventurer exploration team had a gloomy atmosphere, and no one took the initiative to talk unless necessary.

It's just the sound of heavy breathing on the road, which is boring and boring, but it also makes people have a pair of ears and eyes to focus more on their surroundings, and be alert to the possible dangers of dense forest bushes.

As a guide, Malthus was familiar with the paths and deliberately chose places where wild beasts were few.

Although the danger is minimized, it is still necessary to watch out for some poisonous insects, which are the terrifying and silent killers in the dense green.

A warrior with a blood spear chopped a branch and was about to break a blocked vine when he was stopped by his fellow hunter.

Bosch shouted to stop, "Don't grab it with your hands, it's not a vine ......"

Hunter Bosch cut the 'vine' in two, and a large amount of red blood splattered on the ground, a predator in disguise.

And the vitality is still very tenacious, the end is cut in two, and it twists and crawls to the adventurer next to it.

Bosch and the warrior with the bloody spear, with their weapons and feet, finally turned the short vine into pulp.

Everyone recognizes that this is a leech in the dense forest, but it is rare to see such a large one, and the leech in the forest is waiting for some parasitic host to come to the door, and begins to suck blood and feed without the prey noticing.

The dense forest is relatively slow and physically demanding, but this improvised adventurous team is almost all veterans, and the physical strength can basically hold up.

It wasn't until it got dark that a simple camp was set up in an orderly manner, a campfire was lit, and the adventurers regained their strength and ate some dry food they carried, thus solving the problem of hunger.

The shadow thieves were silent, and the cold atmosphere made even the adventurers who were familiar with them lose interest in talking, and quickly assigned the order of the vigil.

Loki also spread a burlap blanket on a pile of dry dead branches, with his weapon pillowed under his head, a round shield over his body, and began to rest unclothed.

Under the slow burning of the campfire, the dead branches and firewood made a soft 'crackling' sound.

The other adventurers were pretty much the same, except for the shadow thief guide, who had hidden himself in the dark shadows, not making a sound at all.

If it weren't for the low-light night vision to see through the darkness and the constant attention of spatial vision, even with the vigilance of a half-elf, he might not have noticed that there was someone hiding in that place.

The Shadow Thief's stealth, unlike Fatuna's gifted stealth, is not something that people ignore and forget, but more like a combination of shadow power and stealth skills.

This Malthus, who should be proficient, usually integrates this stealth skill into his body, and his every move is difficult for people's senses to capture.

I don't know if the smell is also hidden, the half-elf sniffed with his nose, but it was the smell of the adventurer's body around him, as well as the smell of sweat on his body, which was very unpleasant.

Close your eyes and rest quietly, consciously control the system, and check some of your own status.

Weight: 87.5kg

Power: 1.39

The sensory system was optimized---- visual image processing was optimized by 42%, the pseudo-visual field was increased by 30%, the normal visual field was unchanged, the visual field recognition was increased by 40%, the acoustic hearing function was optimized by 8.5%, and the tactile awareness of the hand epidermis was 69.9%, of which the tactile perception was increased by 80.5% and the tactile discrimination was increased by 59.5%.

Limb nerve optimization construction is 9.9% complete—lower limb control nerve optimization is 17.5%.

The optimization of the weak night vision function is 81%.

3D spatial vision system, 39.1% completion of the construction plan (currently 11.9% can afford to open)

Spatial Vision System Branch - Autonomous Dynamic 3D Model Function 26.2%

......

Precision: 2.5→1.9, Agility: 1.49→1.55, Lower Limb Control Nerve Optimization 11.5%→17.5%.

Loki frowned, the Ultron system's simulation evaluation of him had dropped a lot of accuracy.

Although I have been adapting to the movements, there is spatial vision to monitor and correct the movements, and the accuracy of the movements and limbs can be improved at all times, but due to the optimization of lower limb control and agility at the same time, the accuracy has not been restored.

The ballistics of the crossbow 3.0 version, the mobile crossbow has been affected a lot, but the static archery is estimated to be not much different from the original.

Looking at the optimized log, it turns out that this accuracy drop is mainly for the movement of the lower limbs and legs, and if you stand still and use a ranged weapon to throw a ranged weapon, or use a steel crossbow, the accuracy does not have a big impact.

Since the impact is not large, in order to improve agility and pace, and maximize the efficiency of quantum biocomputers, it should be continued.

"Ultron, under the premise that the body movements are basically not affected, debug the amount of computing resources, and optimize the lower limb control nerves as much as possible. ”

If you can't beat it in the future, you can also use your flexible legs to escape......

"Executing, Master......"

In the space where the memory is stored, the limb nerve optimization construction area, centered on the spinal nerve, the nerve structure of the lower limb, a little bit of neuronal cells begin to flash, which is a pattern of consciousness visualization to indicate that the progress of optimization is underway.

Of course, the neural image of consciousness perception is only an expression of the brain's optimization of neural perception data. Not only does it have nothing to do with real nerves, but the shape of the image is just an imagination derived from memory storage.

Lower limb control nerve optimization 17.5%, 17.51%, 17.53%......

Loki's whole body gradually relaxed, except for maintaining the basic vigilance of sonic hearing to the outside world, he was already sleeping and resting.

Woken up once before dawn, the half-elves rose up and kept vigil, and nothing happened except for the occasional little cry from nocturnal animals.

Even his breath is hidden, and when this shadow thief rests, he hides like a stone in the darkness.

If it weren't for optimized visuals, Rocky wouldn't have discovered Malthus.

With the continuous improvement of his physical attributes and martial arts movements, ordinary first-order professional adventurers can no longer arouse his fear.

But Malthus, a thief who can hide strangely, is proficient in poison skills, and has advanced skills that ordinary people don't understand, always makes the half-elves unconsciously increase their vigilance.

......

Burning Wood Forest, a forest with a dark black trunk and sparsely distributed trees, often has goblin communities or kobolds wandering the woods.

As an adventurer, the first pot of gold that the half-elf got in Senjin Town was to collect the 'Blood Man Flower' here, as well as exchange it for some kobold scalps, and he knew this place better.

The price of 'Blood Man Flower' is not low, and there are often some adventuring groups, and groups of three or five also come here to carry out collection tasks.

In addition to the guide Malthus, the Bloodspear Adventure Group has apparently been here as well. It doesn't feel so strange that there is a strange black tree here, and there is some eerie and silent atmosphere.

Loki's spatial vision system records some images he has seen all the time, as well as the terrain and landforms he has felt with his feet, and assembles them into a more accurate 3D map.

The stereoscopic perspective view of the optic nerve image, with a row of red dots overlooking it, represents this improvised group of adventurers.

"Save some water, there are not many streams in this place, and some puddles of dew can't be drunk, hold on for a while......"

Lancer said as he untied his water bladder and handed it to his fellow Blood Spear next to him.

In uninhabited wilderness and dense forests, drinking water is a must, stagnant water usually has some terrible parasites, and sometimes even dew is not safe.

The Burning Wood Forest, this strange forest with black trunks, is really not small.

With a 'whoosh', the longbow shot out, and an arrow was nailed to the green-skinned goblin's body, in exchange for a somewhat weird, fox-like scream.

The goblin colony wandered around, numbering more than thirty, but it was detected in advance by the wanderers of the adventuring party, as well as the hunters.

"Goblin, haha, I can add a little income to this mission!"

A blood-spear warrior with an axe and shield shouted loudly.

Several members of the Blood Spear Adventure Troupe, familiar with their backs to their companions, formed a circular adventure squad formation, and easily dealt with this group of goblins.

Several adventurers shouted for battle, and as they looked after each other, no one was seriously injured, at most they were scratched by the weapons stones thrown by some goblins.

The Shadow Thieves didn't know what to hide there, and Loki, the half-elf, was gone......
