Chapter 14: The Forest Mutation Strikes
Chen Ye retracted his gaze and prayed silently in his heart, hoping that there would not be extreme weather like yesterday.
He leaned down to clean the ground of the corpses.
Exposing the corpse wilderness can easily attract strange beasts and cause unnecessary trouble.
But at this moment, I don't know if I was dazzled or hallucinated.
Chen Ye saw that the bushes at the edge of the forest, as well as the nearby Yuntie trees, were all clinging to purple and green stems.
Odd.
"When we first started to land to collect resources, were there so many vines in the trees?"
Chen Ye turned around and wanted to ask Lin Zimo.
But it was found that the girl had ventured through the bushes and stood at the edge of the forest in order to pick wild fruits.
Two more steps in, and you'll be swallowed up by the shadows falling from the canopy.
Lin Zimo didn't notice the change in the forest, she thought for a few seconds, and then shook her head:
"I don't know, maybe I was in too much of a hurry when I landed, and I didn't notice it."
While speaking, the action of picking snake vine fruits did not stop for a moment.
"After the storm, there is still so much fruit left on the vine, and it seems that we are lucky, with this food stock, we will not go hungry for the next few days!"
It seemed that the inadvertent sentence made Chen Ye immediately frown.
As an eyewitness to last night's disaster, he was well aware of the power of a storm comparable to that of a Category 17 typhoon.
Not to mention the fruit hanging on the vine, even the head on the shoulder can be blown away.
There may be only one possibility.
These vines are all fresh out after the rain.
And in a short time, the whole process of flowering and fruiting is completed.
Chen Ye felt more and more that something was wrong, and hurriedly warned: "Something is wrong with this place, you be careful!" ”
"I'll finish it right away!"
Lin Zimo reached out and reached for the last cluster of snake vine fruits.
These wild fruits can be used as food or in consignment centers for purchases, making them a must-see.
Of course, materials aside, she actually wants to contribute to the team.
Although he doesn't have the terrifying strength of Chen Ye, he still has to be active in something as good as collecting wild fruits.
Chen Ye was still not at ease.
He walked up to Lin Zimo and handed over a short-handled stone axe.
"Do you know how to use it?"
Haven't used it......
As soon as this sentence came to his mouth, he was swallowed by Lin Zimo, and then nodded heavily.
"Used!"
Haven't you ever eaten pork, haven't you ever seen a pig run?
She took the heavy stone axe and swung it awkwardly twice.
The axe should be the same as the kitchen knife at home, right?
Chen Ye, who has always been stronger than iron, naturally didn't notice the details of Lin Zimo's expression, but just a serious way:
"When you encounter a monster smaller than your size, you can directly split it with your head, and when you encounter a monster with a large body, run directly, and run non-stop!"
After speaking, he returned to the open space, grabbed Lu Zhiqiang's feet, and prepared to drag the body into the sea.
But at this moment, there was a sudden sound of leaves shaking behind him.
Chen Ye turned his head vigilantly, only to see a stone axe flying from a distance.
The sharpened blade of the axe grazed his shoulder and slashed diagonally into the grass behind his right.
When he reacted, he saw an extra vine shrinking on the grass behind him.
Not far away, Lin Zimo still maintained the posture of throwing stone axes.
Both of them looked surprised at the same time.
However, Chen Ye didn't have time to think about anything else.
Because of the work of the gods, a large number of vine stems appeared on the grass.
The three corpses that were lying on the ground were wrapped in slender stems to form cocoons, and then slowly dragged into the dirt.
In just a few seconds, there were three more bottomless holes in the ground, and blood-stained rattans wriggled inside.
They're preying!
Chen Ye didn't expect the mutation to come so quickly.
He rushed to Lin Zimo quickly, grabbed her hand and ran towards the shore.
At the same time, the thoughts in my head were racing.
As for the unknown lifeform lurking in the forest who broke the cloud iron tree, he had also thought about a lot of possibilities before.
A super-large snake-tailed Rafflesia, a large alien beast covered in hard leather armor, and even an unspeakable creature covered with tentacles......
What appeared in front of him now was the vines that he had picked and harvested as survival materials.
An unexpected but reasonable living being.
But is it really that simple?
As soon as Chen Ye sat on the bathtub parked on the shore, the abnormal feeling of being peeped at came to his heart again.
The dozen or so Yuntie trees standing on the outskirts of the forest all began to shake incessantly.
It can be seen that the power of that mysterious monster is at least one level higher than that of the crocodile shark and the Rafflesia.
To Chen Ye's surprise, there was no high-energy reaction on the resource detector.
This shows that these vines are not threatening creatures.
Impossible......
Yesterday's strange man, Lin Zimo, and the three-person team that ran over to send them to death today were not attacked by vines.
There is also no information related to vines in the World Channel.
There are even many adventurers who say that the forest is very safe, full of edible wild fruits, and full of plants that emit a soft glow.
Chen Ye made a bold guess based on what he had learned about the situation so far.
First, there are certain conditions that need to be met for the vines to attack.
Just now, he didn't attack Lin Zimo who was standing at the edge of the forest, but chose him, perhaps because he was attracted by the wound on his body.
Second, the vines that are spreading rapidly behind him are not the main body.
The true ontology may be in an area that the resource probe cannot perceive, that is, three kilometers away.
If this is the case, then the size of this strange beast will be huge beyond human comprehension.
Chen Ye took Lin Zimo to take the bath bucket and returned to the island according to the original route.
There is a sea of water hundreds of meters wide, and even if there is a monster on the other side, it will not be able to pass for a while.
Returning to the friendly safe house, the frightened Chen Ye hurriedly washed his face with clean water.
The lump on my cheek has mostly disappeared, and now it only looks a little bruised.
Although I didn't figure out the situation inside the forest when I went out to explore this time, I still gained a lot of equipment and materials.
And picked up two precious cloud iron tree logs, which can be used to upgrade the small watchtower.
If the mysterious creatures of the forest can really chase after him across the sea, this watchtower is his last resort.
Chen Ye slightly condensed his gaze.
An enhanced list appeared in front of my eyes.
[Consumes 150 Survival Points to strengthen the Towers (LV.1)]
“150?”
Seeing this, Chen Ye's heart couldn't help but sink.
He only has 14 survival points now, which is not even a fraction of a fraction.
Unexpectedly, the conditions for strengthening were 5 times that of ordinary safe houses.
Even if you can use building materials to deduct it, you won't be able to get so much for a while.
You can't put all your resources in the consignment center to buy building materials, right?
This kind of desperate and brainless decision is not his style!
