Chapter 35: Hidden Crisis

The further you go inside, the more visible the meandering marks on the ground become.

Chen Ye couldn't help but quicken his pace, wanting to find out the root of this mysterious phenomenon.

But when they left the area eroded by the fire, the traces were gone.

Chen Ye looked ahead in the direction where the traces had disappeared.

A crack was found in the ground.

It's a meter wide, but it's bottomless, and when you get closer, you can feel a warm air flow surging outward.

Chen Ye took out a piece of fire dragon wood, lit it, and threw it into the gap.

The dragon wood was like a flare, illuminating the situation in the rift as it fell rapidly.

"There's a problem!"

Chen Ye said with a solemn expression.

Before he could finish speaking, he lit several more dragon woods and threw them down along the rift.

But the results are the same as what I just saw.

Beneath the ground, more than ten meters deep, there is a huge cavity in the rock formation.

The violently burning dragon wood fell all the way down until it finally turned into a faint point of light.

The depth of the cavity of the rock formation was completely beyond his imagination.

The mysterious creatures that left traces seemed to have disappeared inside.

Chen Ye looked up into the distance.

Behind the rift in the ground is a gloomy forest.

The fire didn't spread to that side, and it seems that the crack played a role.

Facing the faint blue moonlight, the tall cloud iron tree stood quietly in front of the field of vision, giving people an indescribable sense of oppression.

Do you want to go over?

Chen Ye stood in front of the rift and clenched the fire dragon wood in his hand.

It seems to have been too hard, and cracks appeared on the surface of the wood.

It is very likely that there will be many dangers here, and those who lack arms and legs are probably lucky, and they will die in the depths of the forest.

But if he doesn't cross this gap, then he will never be able to leave this forest in the future!

Chen Ye turned his head and glanced at the road he had come.

We're already halfway there, and it's not a waste of time to retreat now.

Chen Ye loosened the fur cloak on his body and exhaled a mouthful of white mist.

He took out the military compound crossbow from the storage space, loaded it with explosive bolts, and stepped through the chasm.

A chilly breeze came from all directions.

There was an eerie whimpering sound from the depths of the rift, as if someone was whispering, as if a final warning was being given to the three men on the surface.

Chen Ye held a military compound crossbow and stood in front of the dense forest nervously.

As soon as a strange beast appears, he is guaranteed to fire five explosive crossbow arrows in one second.

Even if it's a level 2 beast, you can't eat and walk around!

However, after waiting in place for a moment, nothing happened.

In the radar image from the resource probe, the surroundings are almost all green, except for the golden pillars of light in the distance.

This means that there is only vegetation in the vicinity, and there does not seem to be any danger.

"Let's go!"

Chen Ye breathed a sigh of relief, beckoned to the two behind him, and the whole team continued to go deep into the gloomy forest.

The moonlight was gradually blocked out by the dense canopy.

Instead, there are fungal plants that glow pale green on the ground.

There are also many spores that shimmer with light and fly around the mushroom umbrella.

In addition, the temperature inside the forest has noticeably risen by more than a dozen degrees.

Although it still remains below zero, at least the wind blows on the face, and there is no knife-like feeling.

The dense forest obscured the view, and Chen Ye had to refer to the Kunyu map in real time and follow the predetermined route to the northwest.

While traveling, new landforms are constantly being refreshed in the northwest direction.

Unfortunately, the terrain is still dominated by dense forests.

It's rare to see some raised slopes and rocks, or meandering streams.

Chen Ye zoomed out the map, and there was no edge in the forest area of hundreds of square kilometers, and there was only one town remain.

The resources are too single, and if you want to continue to develop your strength, you must go out from here.

As the team continues to deepen.

The thing that worried Chen Ye the most finally happened.

When they crossed a crack more than a meter wide, they were about to continue their march.

Suddenly, there was a strange noise overhead.

In the quiet of the forest, the sound is particularly abrupt.

Chen Ye immediately stopped, put away the Kun Yu map, picked up the military compound crossbow, and scanned the surrounding woods vigilantly.

And Lin Zimo and Lu Ze on the side also took an attack posture.

Compound crossbows and force field auras, each pointing in a different direction.

"Click"

Suddenly, there was a crunch sound from somewhere behind him, like the sound of a tree branch being broken.

But after waiting for a few seconds, I didn't hear the sound of branches falling to the ground.

Just when Chen Ye was puzzled, a huge snake-tailed Rafflesia fell from the canopy more than ten meters high.

The fungus plants covering the ground felt a violent tremor from the ground, and immediately spit out a large number of glowing spores.

Chen Ye didn't have time to see such a beautiful scene, he quickly picked up the military compound crossbow and aimed at the target.

An exploding bolt screeched out.

The compound crossbow no longer needs the assistance of a winder, and can be easily wound by simply turning the winch in the crossbow holder.

And with the blessing of the burst device, it is possible to shoot continuously.

Combined with the powerful explosive crossbow arrows, the killing effect of the compound crossbow has been multiplied.

The crossbow bolt hit Rafflesia almost in the blink of an eye.

The glandular secretions mixed with the resin of the golden cedar wood splashed on the surface of the Rafflesia under the inertial squeezing.

Then it volatilized into red smoke, accompanied by a deafening explosion, and instantly turned into a huge fireball.

[Kill the Serpent's Tail Rafflesia and get 3 Survival Points]

A system chime rings in my head.

The life essence and survival points were also evenly distributed among the three members of the team.

Chen Ye looked at the corpse of Dawanghua that was still burning, and his face was full of surprise.

He had thought that it would take five arrows to obliterate a Tier 1 beast.

I didn't expect it to be done in one shot!

The lethality of the Burst Crossbow Bolt is so high!

didn't wait long for Chen Ye to be happy.

"Boom Boom"

Three loud bangs came in quick succession.

The three-headed terrifying-looking snake-tailed Rafflesia landed around in turn, directly cutting off all the retreats.

Chen Ye restrained his smile and immediately raised his bow and crossbow to shoot another arrow, directly turning the snake-tailed Rafflesia in the middle into a ball of fire.

[Kill the Serpent's Tail Rafflesia and get 3 Survival Points]

The moment the system prompt sounded, the Rafflesia on the right had already swooped over.

The petals of the body were all open, revealing mouthparts covered with corrosive slime.

But before it could attack, its waist and abdomen were hit hard by Chen Ye, who jumped up.

The bony mouthparts of the flame anemone are as hard as alloys.

With Chen Ye's charged punch, half of his arm immediately sank into Da Wang Hua's body.

For Rafflesia, this trauma is not a big deal.

It waved its tentacles to trap Chen Ye, but in the next second, its waist and abdomen suddenly swelled.

Immediately after, crimson pillars of fire erupted from a dozen mouthparts on its body.

Then a ball of flames swelled inside it, and the upper half of its body was directly blown into pieces.

[Kill the Serpent's Tail Rafflesia and get 3 Survival Points]

Chen Ye withdrew his arm, and the full set of flames was still emitting bursts of white smoke.

The weapons and equipment made by Liu Jianguo are indeed very good!

On the other side, Lin Zimo and Lu Ze were still teaming up to deal with the enemy on the left.

At the same time as the pitch-black crossbow arrow flew out, the force field aura quickly fell, suppressing Dawanghua to the ground.

Chen Ye picked up the compound crossbow and shot an arrow, and a violent explosion sounded in the forest, and the firelight briefly illuminated the forest.

[Kill the Serpent's Tail Rafflesia and get 3 Survival Points]

The battle ended so quickly, which made Chen Ye somewhat uncomfortable.

But just as he raised his hand to high-five his teammates in celebration, the flames on the corpse of the alien beast lit up the canopy of the Cloud Iron Tree.

Chen Ye looked up and saw that among the leaves, there were dense huge petals.
