49. First exploration
In the air, the power of the elements seems to be unusually active. However, it is impossible to perceive the existence of the legal net.
The two of them looked in one direction and went straight ahead. After another twenty minutes of walking, the knee-high grass around him disappeared. The situation seems to be a lot safer.
Jiang Che took out his mobile phone to check the progress of the mission, and the task of exploring the misty forest was about twenty percent complete. If you go on like this, it will be difficult to cross even the dense forest.
"Che, if you're tired, you can rest for a while." Leng Yue shook her collar, she chased all the way just now, and she ran a hot sweat, coupled with this damp and stuffy environment, she only felt uncomfortable all over her body. Moreover, the consumption of mental power is also very large, and she thinks that Jiang Che, who has a weaker physique, should reach the limit.
"Okay, you wait for me." Jiang Che casually found a big tree to solve his physiological needs, and he couldn't help it if he drank too much water.
When he came back, he also found that Leng Yue had disappeared.
About half a minute later, she walked out from behind the tree with a slightly red face, "Che, I thought about it for a while, this place is not suitable for resting, let's go a little farther." ”
Further on, the traces of some biological activity began to increase.
Jiang Che almost stepped on something that shouldn't have been stepped on, and his face turned green.
The phantom mouse squeaked twice, and a sudden gust of wind in the woods made the trees rattle.
Leng Yue's face changed, and after Jiang Che waited for a long time, he found that nothing had happened.
"Did you sense something passing by?" Leng Yue stretched out her hand and grabbed the corner of Jiang Che's clothes, muttering, "Impossible, in the area of the Misty Forest, it shouldn't be possible for this kind of creature to appear." ”
"What a thing?"
"It could be the Wind Leopard, or the Shadow Leopard."
Jiang Che made up the image of a leopard and was not afraid. This thing should be normal for a man to deal with, right?
Leng Yue grabbed the corner of Jiang Che's clothes tightly and motioned for him to leave quickly.
This time, the two of them walked for about thirty minutes, breaking through the center of the misty forest in one breath.
As the active elemental power around her body became calmer, Leng Yue's expression gradually relaxed, "I thought about it for a while, in fact, there is no need to be too afraid, even if a demonic beast like the Earth Bear can appear in the range of the Mist Forest, it is estimated that someone will be free-range, so there is no need to worry too much." ”
In fact, the two of them also saw quite a few ordinary animals and magical creatures along the way.
For example, lizards, wolves, pigs, deer, and even magical flowers that eat insects, the biological species are diverse and primitive, and it is difficult to imagine such a scene in the vicinity of a high-density human gathering place like the imperial capital.
It stands to reason that the ecosystem of the Misty Forest should be monotonous in an area of 30 to 50 square kilometers.
Jiang Che didn't want to think about it, but Leng Yue continued to fall into deep thought. The two of them found a rock by the brook and sat down. Phantom mouse Chubby jumped off Jiang Che's shoulder and drank water by the stream.
Leng Yue was about to take the opportunity to enjoy the knee pillow, but Jiang Che took the lead.
"I'm tired, give me a rest."
"Che, can you lean on my shoulder?"
"It's not good, the shoulders are not as comfortable as the little skirt."
Leng Yue looked helpless, so she simply let him go. Take advantage of the short time to meditate at a shallow level to restore the energy that has been expended.
Time passes.
After resting for about twenty minutes, Leng Yue opened her eyes and found that Jiang Che seemed to have fallen asleep, snoring slightly.
"Hey, you can't sleep here, let's go." Leng Yue pushed Jiang Che's shoulder.
Jiang Che snorted in a daze, and tried a few times before getting up from the knee pillow, "Where's the little fat." ”
"Squeak." The little purple squirrel poked its head out of Jiang Che's pocket.
Jiang Che stretched, "Let's go, let's go." ”
"Che, you're too careless." Leng Yue held on to her numb knees, staggered a few steps, and barely regained some consciousness, "Do you know that if I hadn't used my spiritual power to form a barrier, you would have been annoyed to death by the insects here." ”
"Well, I'll call you over next time I'm exploring." Jiang Che raised his hand and glanced at the time on his watch, he had been in the field since about one o'clock, and it was now early at four o'clock.
You have to go out before it gets dark, and if you wait for the temperature to drop and the forest fogs up, it will be troublesome.
About half an hour later, the French Open reappeared in perception.
Leng Yue waved her hand and summoned a tall wooden element, lifted the two of them to sit on one left and one on the right shoulder, and walked forward slowly.
Jiang Che checked the progress of the task again, about thirty percent of the way, and sighed a little irritably. Judging from the time limit for the completion of the task, it is relatively generous for the time being, and there are about twelve days left.
"Che, how do you find your way through the woods?" Leng Yue felt that the atmosphere was too quiet and found a topic.
"It should be easy, after all, the misty forest is only two or three kilometers longitudinal, plus the bearing of the sun provides calibration."
"Well, don't you like adventure?"
"Well, I guess I'll have to come here a few more times."
Leng Yue looked inexplicable, "You've already crossed it, what's the point of going again." ”
Jiang Che felt bitter in his heart, who had no reason to come to this mosquito-infested jungle area, "If you have something, you don't have to accompany me." ”
"You don't know the danger yet!" Leng Yue raised her beautiful eyebrows, "This kind of place, if it's not noon, I wouldn't dare to go casually." ”
"I've got Chubby to help me." As Jiang Che spoke, the little purple squirrel poked its head out of his coat pocket, "Squeak, friend, you're going to send me back." ”
