The doppelganger project went smoothly.

Xu Yunshu had already used this strategy perfectly, and when the two white wolves appeared on the Heng Shan Range, they quickly separated one after the other.

The retreating clone followed the path it had traveled before, and advanced towards the sloping plain, while the advancing clone continued to move further after discerning the direction.

According to Xu Yunshu's assumption, with the footsteps of a fifth-level predator, how could he pass through the mountains tonight and reach the desert at the far end.

However, as time passed, Xu Yunshu suddenly realized one thing.

Something seems wrong with the mountain.

His retreating doppelganger had made it to the sloping plains, slashing at the Rounds, ready to hunt in the forests on either side.

The doppelganger who can move forward is still spinning in the mountains.

With the underground mycelium provided by Guo Xiaojie and the support of surface ants, he is always walking in a straight line.

Even if there is a ravine, he tries to jump forward.

In order to wait for Guo Xiaojie to lay the mycelium, Xu Yunshu even paused sometimes until Guo Xiaojie's prompt statement appeared in his field of vision.

Everything should be going well.

Brain modeling, however, says otherwise.

According to the image of the ant colony's exploration, Xu Yunshu sketched a topographic map of this mountain range in his mind according to the usual practice, in case of emergency.

Gradually, Xu Yunshu became aware of a fact.

Standing on the sloping plain in front of the mountain range, he thought that the mountain was standing horizontally, and that he was on the side of the mountain range, and that he could reach the desert area by crossing the top of the mountain.

After all, Xu Yunshu had seen the desert from afar on the inclined plain.

Based on the distance, the edge of the desert should have been spotted by now, or it should have been able to see it.

However, in fact, even after walking for so long, Xu Yunshu still couldn't break free from the monotonous scenery of the mountains and rocks.

It's an incredible thing.

Although there are too many incredible things in the Dream Forest, Xu Yunshu feels that the things he has experienced in front of him are completely ranked among the top few.

At this moment, Xu Yunshu was a little unsure whether to continue to move forward.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to move on.

Just like the psychological preparation made during the previous exploration, since you have a doppelganger skill, you will be fully guaranteed for your life safety.

It's a big deal to lose half of your energy, but as long as you still have your life alive and spend time, you can slowly hunt and replenish it.

As for Guo Xiaojie, there is no need to worry.

The real body is in the lair at the bottom of the fortress, and there is no risk of death at all.

But this time, Xu Yunshu didn't plan to rush forward without thinking, but changed directions.

Since the length of the Horizontal Mountains is longer than expected, simply bend 90 degrees and walk to the side of the Horizontal Mountains to see if you can reach the border.

It may be a waste of time, but it may be possible to find the answer.

This action has achieved the expected results.

After walking for about twenty minutes, Xu Yunshu finally arrived at the end of the road.

The results shocked him.

In the vision provided by the ant colony, an identical cavern appeared at the end of this strange mountain.

In shape, it bears a striking resemblance to the cavern at the bottom of the sloping plain.

Even at the front of the cave, there is a flat, sloping plain.

Could it be that he went around and around and came back again?

This is certainly not possible.

Xu Yunshu could sense the location of his clone, and it was still far away from here.

The clone stopped hunting and jumped onto the sloping plain, so Xu Yunshu had both sides of the field of vision.

This time, he finally noticed something different.

The cave that his doppelganger observed was dead.

This statement may seem abstract

, but for Xu Yunshu, who really observed the two caves, there is no more appropriate description than this description.

The cave seen by the clone was the same as the one here, but it lacked the sparkling light.

When Xu Yunshu first saw that terrifying top-level monster, it was night in the Dream Forest, and the huge moon hung in the sky, full of white moonlight.

In the moonlight, the cave was filled with specks of fluorescence.

When the monster went on a rampage later, Xu Yunshu realized that the fluorescence hidden in the cave was actually the saliva secreted by the tip of the monster's tongue.

After quickly recalling his previous encounter, he saw the ripples of water again in the vision provided by Guo Xiaojie.

The rippling water waves give this strange cave a layer of "living" atmosphere.

In the sunlight, he could see all the details of the cave.

At a cursory glance, there seems to be nothing special about this cave other than an extreme violation of the laws of physics.

But with the vision of the clones on both sides, coupled with the help of Guo Xiaojie's queen ant ability, Xu Yunshu can keenly spot the difference.

The difference, of course, includes the extreme dryness of one cave and the splashing of water in the other, but it's not that simple.

In this "living" cave, Xu Yunshu could sense a strange sense of oppression, and the ants who had been sent to explore the cave stopped moving, as if there was something terrifying ahead.

Xu Yunshu realized that what was hidden in this cave should be the terrifying beast he had seen.

When he first met this terrifying apex predator, he was still at the fourth level, and now although he has only been promoted by one level, the increase in strength caused by the improvement of his life form is a change in nature.

This change gave him a little confidence in his heart when facing this terrifying beast.

Although it is only a little, this little bit allows Xu Yunshu to stand on top of the cave and observe and study the cave through various different perspectives.

He prides himself on being a delicate observer, as long as there is the slightest abnormality, Xu Yunshu can be keenly aware of it.

However, after switching all angles, apart from the sense of oppression and living water, Xu Yunshu really couldn't see anything else.

At this point, things are at an impasse.

Xu Yunshu thought in his heart, if he gave up the exploration of this cave and continued to travel in the direction of the desert, would it be a better choice?

If he continued to move forward according to his original idea and ignored this cave, the biggest advantage would be that he would not alarm a creature whose predation level was unknown to him, and this alone would be enough for Xu Yunshu to choose a detour.

But the strange feeling of walking before gave Xu Yunshu a lot of pressure in his heart.

The mountains without any signs of life, the long and desperately long journey, and the mycelium that gradually couldn't keep up with his footsteps, all announced one thing to Xu Yunshu:

If you want to reach the desert, it is not as easy as he imagined.

Xu Yunshu thought for a moment and finally made up his mind.

It's all here, and if he doesn't do anything, he is unwilling.

Xu Yunshu decided to imitate the old things and drive the pigs into the cage again.

During the day, you should be able to see the cave and the apex predators more clearly.

Just as he was about to take a step, another strange thing happened.
