Chapter 3 Ancient Forest

Li Chen, who had already left the village, was moving forward with difficulty, his memory was too bad, and he couldn't remember Wang Yingying at all, otherwise, he would have left the village after his brain was pumped.

The dense trees capture all the sunlight, and the smell and moisture cover the ground, and darkness and dampness are the norm on the surface.

Every time he stepped on it, sewage seeped out from the edge of his shoes, and Li Chen's shoes could not prevent water, and they were already soaked in filth.

Birds with sword-shaped wings weaved through the extremely narrow woods, their wings cutting through the air with a sharp whistling sound, and the branches that stood in their path were cut off.

When the whistling sound was gone, Li Chen looked out with palpitations, and he cursed in his heart.

It's too dangerous, there is such a terrible place in the world, not to mention that from time to time he encounters the same strange creatures that he doesn't even know, even the spicy strips that pass by the ground make him tremble, for fear that he will be kissed by them without noticing, leaving a scar of love, and walking on the road to heaven.

I originally thought that there was at least a 30% chance of success, but now it seems that there is only 10% of 10%!

Because no one passed, there could be no road for people to pass through, and the animals in the woods could not travel the same route as him, so he could only rely on his body to make a route, and his already shabby clothes and shoes were devastated, barely covering the last trace of Li Chen's dignity in the crumbling state.

Li Chen felt that he was about to get lost, there were dense tree trunks everywhere, there was no difference, if it wasn't for the fact that he encountered a large and unique iconic tree from time to time, he would have been lost in the dense woods, such an environment was depressing and torturous, he could only reluctantly comfort himself and relax.

For more than three hours, his footsteps did not stop for a moment, and finally he saw the first safe place on this trip, an open place in the dense deep forest.

Of course, such terrain does not appear in vain.

In such a region, either there are immortals who have stayed, or there are demons that have survived, only that kind of life form will leave the qi, so that the tree species dare not sprout, the branches dare not grow close, and the beasts are afraid, and this place is deep in the mountains, 100% is a demon who has stayed for a while.

But there is no need to worry too much, because the wisdom of demons far exceeds that of normal people, they are more advanced life forms than ordinary humans, and immortals are in the same person, unless there are force majeure factors, otherwise they are so elegant and arrogant existence, it is almost impossible to stay in the wild, and the probability of meeting a demon in the wild is actually no different from winning the lottery.

Li Chen sat cross-legged in the middle of the open space, took out a Luo Luo from the package and gnawed it, the rustling taste was not too unpalatable, on the contrary, it was delicious in the mountains.

If he is lucky, he will be able to reach his destination in less than four days, and if he is unlucky, he may become the belly of the beast, and then turn into a lump of nutrients to nourish the trees in the mountains, and he will not wait for the time when he needs to cover the quilt.

Now, it's not cold enough.

Li Chen was lying on top of the dirt, and he didn't care how dirty the dirt on the ground was, anyway, he was no better now, his clothes were in tatters, and he was about to become rags, and his greasy hair was covered with cobwebs and dust, fortunately, his shoes were relatively strong, otherwise he would have to suffer next.

The gloomy period has arrived.

The whole sky instantly turned from bright day to a foggy gray world, the stars volatilized dim light, almost invisible under the layers of fog, the surrounding wind and bird chirping disappeared in an instant, the gray fog blocked everything, neither sight nor sound, there was no ability to penetrate it.

It's so quiet, so quiet that you want to go crazy.

Li Chen heard the sound of his own heartbeat, and the quiet environment did not soothe his nervous emotions, but detonated his thoughts, the monsters wandering outside the emptiness, the unknown hidden in the fog, all kinds of past lives, relatives and friends, the experience of this time pressed on him, making him almost emo.

Missing, remorseful, sad, and grievances bombarded his mind, he felt that he must have a split personality, he was so firm when he left the village, and now he is so contradictory, he even wants to be a deserter and run back to the village, even if people bully him, even if he takes away his parents' share, he can at least live a few more days......

He wanted to curse himself a little, what a sentimental creature he was.

He took a few deep breaths, trying to clear his mind and suppress the confusion.

Sleep, just get some sleep, he comforted himself gently.

......

The dark circles under Li Chen's eyes, he only slept for a while last night, and then thought about it for a long time in the quiet gray fog, once the gray period passed, he suffered a big sin, although the carnivorous beast that haunted the night did not dare to approach the place where the demon had stayed, but it could disgust itself, and it was going around there all night, scaring Li Chen for a night!

Fortunately, the thing had retreated in the morning, otherwise Li Chen would have been trapped in the open ground by it.

A huge tree twisted and spread upward, like a vine, appeared not far in front of Li Chen, through the dense trunk, Li Chen could clearly see the emerald green texture above, as if it was personally handled by the heavens, the texture was so beautiful, intertwined and entangled into an incredible shape.

It is like a divine bird that spreads its wings and is about to take off, and it is like a big fish swimming in the boundless ocean, and thousands of people can see a thousand faces.

"That's amazing."

Li Chen muttered quietly, the shock in his eyes undisguised.

This is the eleventh of the thirty-six correction points against the map that comes to mind, and each correction point you see means that you are closer to your destination.

When he sees a correction point, he will first observe it and act after making sure that there is no danger around him, which is a sign of caution.

He hid behind a tree, looked left and right to make sure there was nothing strange, and was about to get a closer look at the water under the tree.

Without warning, his heart suddenly contracted, and cold sweat broke out on Li Chen's forehead unconsciously, and a certain palpitation enveloped him at this moment, wanting to lead him into the whirlpool of death.

Li Chen didn't have time to think, he immediately relaxed the strength of his feet, and the whole person fell to the ground like a puddle of mud.

"Bang-"

The tree where Li Chen was hiding was cut in two in an instant, and the huge metallic pincers were just across his head.

Just as he was secretly observing ahead, the copper pincer monster that had been lurking on the top of the trees for several months quietly stretched out the pair of huge pincers on his head to the sides of his body, silently, usually no one could detect it at all, but Li Chen's strange sixth sense saved his life.

He didn't dare to hesitate, he landed on all fours like a puppy, and rushed out in an instant.

The decaying trees and leaves were as if they didn't exist, his speed was jaw-dropping, and all the obstacles ahead were less important than his life.

The adrenaline rush made him extremely excited, and he ran under the huge tree at a speed that he would never have been able to achieve on a normal day.

Only then did he dare to take a cursory look through the gap between the trunks of the monster, which had a very slender neck, or rather it resembled an oversized snake, with the pincers of the long-horned bull on its head, and sharp scales covered his slender neck, too long, to hang from the top of the tree to the tree.

Li Chen made a visual inspection, at least twenty zhang, but now he is estimated to be a hundred zhang away from the monster, and it must not be able to reach itself.

Li Chen stared at the monster closely, not daring to relax at all, if it dared to come, it would definitely turn around and run!

He decided to observe it first, to make sure that the monster was always in his sight, otherwise with his suspicious nature, he would be able to scare himself to death if he could not see it.

The monster lazily closed its huge pincers and began to retract its neck unhurriedly, with no intention of pursuing it at all.

Li Chen was also relieved to see it quietly coiled back, but what he didn't know was that the copper pincer monster was principled, they would only attack their prey once, and if they didn't succeed, they would give up directly.

The adrenaline slowly faded, and the palpitations and the fear of almost dying enveloped him, making him take several deep breaths before he recovered.

Before he had time to rejoice, Li Chen, who was shrinking behind the tree, seemed to think of something, and hurriedly looked around, this time he looked back and forth, left and right, up and down, and then breathed a sigh of relief, the joy of the rest of his life after the catastrophe almost made him cry, it was really just a little bit, he was cut in two.

After a short rest.

He contradicted himself, he was afraid of encountering this situation again when he went forward, and he was afraid that the thing behind him would not talk about martial arts, so he sneaked through and carried out a sneak attack.

Choosing a difficult day.
