【…… The raindrops continued to fall, beating every inch of the jungle, as if the god of life was awakening the sleeping life with his gentle fingers. Countless burrowing animals emerge from their underground hideouts and push their newborn pups, eggs, and unhatched eggs into the rain......

[Under the continuous moisture of the rain, the eggs begin to hatch, and the young birds struggle to emerge from their shells, curiously exploring this new world.] Countless shoots sprouted from the dirt and treetops, and on the earth, every living creature was cheering to celebrate this feast of life......]

At this time, Mu You's character was drenched into a soup chicken, but it did not prevent him from enjoying the scenery of everything around him.

I have to admit that this seemingly monotonous jungle with few changes in the environment also has its own unique beauty.

[Suddenly, you hear a rumbling sound in front of you, and it seems that something heavy has fallen to the ground.] 】

[You hurriedly braved the rain to check and found that the source of the sound was the withered ring wood you had hidden before. 】

[At this moment, the trunk of this dead tree has been filled with dense sword wind crystal thorns, and thousands of spars pierced and stayed on the dead tree, and the huge weight overwhelmed the dead wood and collapsed. 】

[And at the broken root of this withered ring wood, under the hollow stump, you see a white ring wood shoot, which is tenaciously squeezing away the rotten wood, drilling out of the soil, desperately absorbing sunlight and rain and dew, and the branches and leaves begin to rise at a speed visible to the naked eye, presumably it will grow into a towering ring wood again in a short time......]

Looking at this text describing the rejuvenation of rotten wood, Mu You suddenly had a kind of enlightenment.

Knife wind and rain are not meaningless weather disasters. Needless to say, Shi Yu let countless new lives in the ring forest be born and grow, and at the same time liberate those aging and rigid creatures and complete the handover of the cycle of life.

And the knife wind wrapped in mineral crystals, of course, is fatal for living beings, but for the ring wood, this is one of the links of upgrading, because the normal ring wood hardness is extremely high, and will not be affected by the knife wind, will only be affected by those decay and withering ring wood, relying on the knife wind to destroy these aging ring wood, in order to make room for the new ring wood.

At the same time, it also took the opportunity of this storm to balance the substances in the entire ring forest, so that the pure crystal ore produced in the depths of the ring forest was sown to the periphery, and the concentration of divinity in the periphery of the ring forest was reduced as much as possible to maintain the purity of the ring forest.

Otherwise, if there was no such fierce wind as a means of resistance, sooner or later the Ring Forest would be eroded and infiltrated by the ever-increasing divine pressure difference on the periphery, until it was completely replaced by the divine system.

In short, these two natural disasters are of course disasters for humans, but for native species, they are necessary processes to maintain ecological balance and allow the forest to continue to exist.

The rain lasted for about five hours before finally stopping.

[After a rain, a large number of snail larvae crawled on the ground, leaving a trail of slime, which was picked up by their respective small animals and brought to the depths of the forest......]

[You also picked up the snail larvae on your body and put them on the branches and leaves of nearby plants, and the snail larvae raised their antennae at you, thanked you for your help, and then crawled deep into the branches......]

When the rain ended, Mu You cut out of the panel and looked at it.

What made him more regrettable was that an hour ago, the growth of his time seed stopped, and finally stopped at the 10.3% position, and after that, no matter how much it rained, it no longer increased by half a point.

"It seems that relying on the rain of time alone, it is the limit to be able to ascend to this point......

Mu You wasn't sure if this limit was the limit attached to the divine power of the pocket watch, or the upper limit of the time authority that the ring forest had.

If it is the latter, it means that the two world systems are in the battle for time authority, and the ring forest is obviously at a disadvantage, as the only common rule of the two worlds, the time authority has also been dominated by the divine world, and only the last 10% of the original world remains......

To get back to the point, at this time, after the rain, the mental state of the game character seems to have been sublimated and baptized with this wind and rain, and the injuries all over the body are gone, and the physical strength is abundant.

Mu You didn't waste any more time, and the black angel stepped on the slippery and muddy road and continued on the road.

It took him three days and three nights to finally get out of the third floor.

The day when the rain broke out with the sword wind was equivalent to his stay on the third floor of the ring forest for four consecutive days.

It doesn't matter if it takes a little more time, what makes it a real pity for Mu You is that he couldn't find the Moon Well on the third floor, as well as the relics left by the mechanic.

He had tried his best to expand the walking range, and Ava had tried to detect all the way, but still found nothing, no way, the ring forest was too vast, and if there was no location of the transmitter, trying to find a specific place would be tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

[Crossing the bushes in front of you, you find that the color of the jungle in front of you has changed for a while, becoming more monotonous, leaving only five colors: black, white, gray, red, and blue......]

[You have arrived, the fourth layer of the Ring Forest. 】

Seeing this prompt, Mu You finally realized what his sense of disobedience on the third layer was, it was the color!

On the third layer, the two important base colors, yellow and green, disappear altogether and are not mentioned in any text.

In the fourth layer, other colors such as purple have also disappeared, and there are only five colors left in the whole world, except for the black, white, and gray colors of the main tone of the forest, only red and blue remain.

And these two colors are not naturally formed, but the colors given by light.

Red sun, blue moon.

In other words, if there is no influence of the sun and the moon, the ring forest at this moment is completely colorless, just like a photo taken with a black and white camera in the old period.

Of course, he only has a literal perspective anyway, and it doesn't matter what the color is.

What matters here is the state change.

[As you step into the range of the fourth layer, a deeper coercion invades your body, and you suddenly feel that the divine power in your body is suppressed even weaker. 】

[Warning: In the current environment, the effect and power of your divine arts, divine power, and divine power items have been reduced by more than 99%. 】

[Warning: More parts of the Black Angel are affected by the environment and fail, and the combat effectiveness is greatly weakened, please replace the parts that adapt to the environment in time.] 】

[Warning: The Fool's game suffers a lot of interference, the efficiency of transmitting and assembling items is greatly delayed, and the efficiency of text transmission is affected, and all text will be rendered with a delay of 8-15 seconds.] 】

Three warnings popped up in a row, and Mu You's eyelids jumped a few times when he saw it.

The first two were okay, the fourth layer's suppression of the divine system reached one hundred percent, and the black angel was also further suppressed, these two points he had expected a long time ago, not too strange.

The point is the third one: the game text is starting to lag!

This has a huge impact, because it means that all the information he sees next is what has already happened, and there is simply no way to react in time.

Of course, the game AI will also react temporarily when it encounters a situation, such as choosing an automatic battle during the battle, but the AI is dull after all, no one is in the rear to control, and many situations cannot be dealt with correctly.

What's more, an 8-15 second delay in text means that the backtrack can no longer be used, after all, the maximum is only 10 seconds, and the backtrack cannot change the result.

Under the repeated weakening of himself, the creatures around him continued to grow stronger, and Mu You already vaguely felt that his current state was likely to not be able to pass the fourth layer.

Sure enough, along the way, he began to be bullied by various small and medium-sized animals.

At this time, the divine power such as slaying gods could not take effect at all, and Mu You completely degenerated into an ordinary human being, and the only one he could rely on was the black angel.

But the black angel was also suppressed badly, and all kinds of weapons all over his body failed one after another, in addition to his own protective power, the attack was already miserable.

In this case, even some of the low-level creatures in the ring forest can bully him at will, and along the way, Mu You was entangled by all kinds of naughty little creatures and wanted to vomit, all relying on the defense of the black angel, so that he could forcibly break through with the damage.

And this is only the fourth layer, and there are three more layers waiting for him in the back.

"It's too hard......"

At this time, Mu You can be regarded as fully experiencing how weak human beings are in the environment of the ring forest.

Think about it, in the original wild world, even the gods with the size of giants were only lower-level species, not to mention the humans from the lower planes, in the primordial world where physical strength was king, they were destined to be the bottom of the bottom, the kind that had no power to restrain the chicken.

Next, Mu You cautiously walked forward on the fourth floor for a day, and only walked a tenth of the distance.

Thankfully, he didn't encounter any large creatures on this day, otherwise with his current state, he would definitely be dead or alive.

["Warning, a reinforced pulse signal has been sensed, and it is coming from 10,000 meters in front of you! ”】

"Huh?"

Mu You was pleasantly surprised that he actually found the mechanic's signal at this time.

Moreover, this time it is still a 'strengthened' signal, and the propagation range has increased significantly, which will be captured by Ava, otherwise I am afraid that I will have to miss it.

didn't have time to think about it, Mu You hurriedly manipulated the character to go.

This time it was a fixed signal and did not move, so it is likely that there are relics left by the mechanic nearby, and if these relics are found, Mu You will be able to modify the black angel and get rid of the current predicament.

[You drive the black angel, step through the dense jungle, and rush in the direction of the signal......]

[A black shadow suddenly burst out of the forest and wrapped around one of the black angel's legs at a tricky angle. 】

[The black angel was unconscious, lost his balance, and fell to the ground with a bang.] 】

[Ava immediately manipulated the black angel to get up and flee, but more and more vines spread from behind, and soon the black angel's whole body was tightly entangled. 】

[These vines kept wriggling as if they were alive, naturally avoiding the black angel's blade, circle after circle, and in the blink of an eye, the black angel was tied into a rice dumpling. 】

[Warning: The joints of the Black Angel's whole body are blocked, lose control, and cannot be operated.] 】

"Hiss......"

Mu You's heart chuckled, and his heart was finished.

At this time, he was stuck inside the black angel, and the black angel couldn't move, so he naturally couldn't get out.

If it was on the third layer, he could still use the God Slaying Divine Power to cut through these vines, but the fourth layer of God Divine Power was reduced to 0, even if he wielded the God Slaying Broadsword, he could no longer create that kind of sword qi, and he could only watch being trapped here.

What's more, this plant spends a lot of effort to bind the creatures that pass by, and it can't always be just for fun......

Sure enough, a bright red prompt popped up.

[A spike-shaped vine burrows through the crack of the black angel and pierces your back, and a stream of plant toxin is injected into your body from the spikes.] 】

[You suddenly feel dizzy, your whole body is exhausted, your consciousness is blurred, and under the influence of the toxin, your skin and flesh begin to slowly soften and fester......]

"Is it over......

Mu You sighed, in the face of this desperate situation, he was powerless to return to the sky, and he was ready to return to the second layer of the soul attraction lamp to start over.

"This time, we must find the mechanic relic on the third floor......"

Mu You silently thought in his heart.

But before he could think of it, just when he had given up hope, an unexpected prompt popped up.

[You suddenly heard a footstep approaching from not far away, you reluctantly opened your eyelids, and through the gap in the mecha, you vaguely saw a pair of human feet on the ground in front of you. 】

[In the next second, you fell into a coma under the action of the toxin, but before fainting, you vaguely heard a childish shout: "Brother, there is a person here!" ”】

[In the echo of some out-of-tune star spirit words, your eyes are black, and you are completely unconscious......]

"The soles of human feet?"

Mu You was stunned.

In this kind of hellish place, there are actually humans alive?

Moreover, the 'Star Spirit Language' is also mentioned later, and this 'human' speaks the Star Spirit Language......

Could it be that the foolish ancestors who used to open up the wasteland were not all wiped out?

When Mu You entered the fourth layer before, he didn't see any messages from the Fool Ancestors nearby, so he naturally thought that the few remaining ancestors were all dead on the third floor, and no one walked to the fourth floor.

But now, it seems that someone has really survived, and has been surviving in the forest until now?

[In a coma, you vaguely feel that you have fallen to the ground, been lifted up, and transported somewhere in a staggering way, and then the mecha on your body is removed piece by piece, and your clothes are also stripped off......]

[You vaguely hear the voices of men and women talking, and some cool medicinal juice is applied to your whole body......]

Next, Mu You's character was in a coma for more than ten hours, and he was on the verge of death for a while, but he seemed to be sent somewhere for treatment, and was finally forcibly rescued.

It wasn't until the next day that Mu You's character woke up slowly.

[The cool wind blows through your eyes, you wake up from your deep sleep, and when you open your eyes, you see two human faces. 】

[A man and a woman, two children with light blue skin, are gathering around you and staring at you, both of them have gray-white oil paint on their faces, and they are wearing some accessories made of animal teeth and bones on their heads. 】

["Daddy, he's awake, he's awake! The little girl exclaimed, and ran quickly outside the room. Only the little boy is left, still holding his hands on his chest, looking at you expressionlessly, but his eyes are also flashing with obvious curiosity. 】

[You want to sit up, but the severe pain in your body makes you fall back again.] Then you realize that you are in a humble stone house, and the faint scent of medicinal herbs wafts through the air. You're lying on the only wooden bed in the house, covered in bandages. 】

[A pair of adult men and women walk in through the door one after the other, and you notice that these two are the normal color of human skin - these are two fools!] 】

[The tall male fool walks up to you and looks at you with a strange face.] You notice that he is holding a somewhat familiar mechanical head, the head of a black angel. 】

["It's unbelievable, you actually relied on this ineffective armor to get here alone...... Have the fools of the outside world developed to this extent? The male fool muttered to himself. (End of chapter)
