Unlike the main mountain gate of the Sword Pavilion, which is connected to the official road, the back side of the main peak of the Sword Pavilion is an endless ancient forest.

At the foot of the mountain, in the open space opened up by the Sword Pavilion, eight teams with a total of thirty-two young people were ready to go.

"The people of the Sword Pavilion generally call this forest the Sea of Trees." Su Jingqiu stood beside Qi Lian, wearing a long sword on his waist and on his back, pointing ahead and saying.

Qi Lin looked in the direction of her finger.

In front of them is a forest that exudes vigorous vitality.

Tall and luxuriant trees form a sea of green, and the canopies are intertwined and connected to form a huge barrier.

Over the years, the trees have grown like mountains, and the ground is covered in thick moss and dead leaves, filling the air with the scent of moist and non-existent plants.

On the other side of the planet, I've only seen it on TV. ’

Qi Shen groaned, a little hesitant, and a little apprehensive.

Aside from the occasional video buff watching the Survival Expert's wilderness challenge series, he's never experienced this kind of unprepared wild life other than weapons.

One day, cross a sea of trees for 50 kilometers, climb to the top of the peak, and take down the flag that symbolizes victory.

Along the way, you will also face challenges or sneak attacks from competitors, as well as a variety of threatening and powerful monsters.

said that it was just an ordinary ring, but how did it evolve into the scene like this.

At this moment, Qi Lin was carrying a single knife with a sheath on his waist, and an exaggerated giant blade with a blade of two meters long and a hilt of one meter on his back, and the whole person exuded a fierce aura.

Beside him, carrying a spear on his back, carrying a knife and a long sword, Baihe and Shangquan Yiren.

At this time, Yu Chengen clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, and then stretched out his hand to the north side.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the lonely peak over there is Wan Qian Peak, you remember, when you enter the woods and can't find the direction, you can climb to the top of the tree to take a look."

In the direction he pointed, above the vast sea of clouds, a towering lone peak stood between heaven and earth.

"It's noon now, and you can go your separate ways."

Yu Chengen smiled: "Remember the rules I said, by the way, in order to ensure sufficient competition, add one more rule - before the sun goes down today, you must not shoot at other teams." ”

After saying that, Yu Chengen jumped up suddenly, grabbed a rope at least twenty meters in the air, and then was hoisted by the small airship hanging down the rope and flew towards Wanren Peak.

"Come on! I'll be waiting for you on the top of the hill over there. ”

In the next moment, all the fourth-order masters who accompanied him also disappeared in place one after another, and only a group of young people remained in the clearing.

Everyone looked at each other.

After being silent for a few seconds, Nie Ming from the Divine Sword Tower took the lead in coming over.

The red-haired young master of the Divine Sword Building had a cold face, only his waist was equipped with his own unique scimitar, and he did not prepare a second weapon.

He took the initiative to say to Qi Lian: "I'm looking forward to tomorrow's showdown, I'm waiting for you at Wanren Peak." ”

Qi Lin smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'm looking forward to it too." ”

Nie Ming nodded slightly, turned around and walked into the dense forest with his subordinates neatly, and after a while, he could no longer see a few people.

Subsequently, Wang Zhige also walked over with his fellow disciples of the dragon field, with a little helplessness on his face.

"Originally, we lost the dragon field the day before yesterday, but I didn't expect that there would be an operation of the Capture the Flag Race, but we took advantage." Wang Zhige took a deep breath and smiled: "But since the commanders have given this opportunity, we will definitely go all out, Qi Lian, be careful, don't lose to us when the time comes." ”

Qi Lin smiled and pointed to the beast slashing sword on his back: "What nonsense are you talking about, be careful, if you run into me halfway, you will be hit by this thing, I am afraid that you will not have time to be saved by the commander." ”

Wang Zhige couldn't help but glance at the giant sword blade behind Qi Lian, exclaimed, and then said goodbye to Qi Lian, and quickly disappeared into the dense forest with the person.

Two teams of people had already taken the lead in entering, and Su Jingqiu also said to Qi Lian: "Then let's go too, we have to leave sooner or later anyway." ”

Qi Lin nodded in response, then greeted the remaining teams, and followed Su Jingqiu into the forest.

About two hours passed.

There was a hint of sultry heat in the secluded forest.

Qi Liang calmly leaned under a giant tree with a diameter of several meters, beside him Bai Baihe and Su Jingqiu, who were sitting on the ground.

"Yo ho!"

In the next second, there was a hearty laugh overhead, and I saw Shangquan Yiren crawling down from the giant tree like a gecko with his hands and feet, as agile as a monkey.

I didn't expect this kid to have this skill of climbing trees.

After coming down, Shangquan Yiren pointed in one direction and said with a smile: "Wan Ling Peak is in that direction, I looked back by the way, and I feel that we should have walked for seven or eight kilometers." ”

His forehead was sweating, and although his expression was smiling, his breath was a little short, and it was obvious that climbing this tree more than fifty meters high was not as easy as he tried to show.

Qi Lin scratched his head, although he had tried to overestimate the difficulty, but it was still more difficult to travel in this forest than he imagined.

His stamina was fine, but he just ate a casual breakfast and didn't have lunch yet.

Hungry.

Qi Lin just thought of this stubble, but he didn't expect Bai Baihe to be the first to say it.

"I'm hungry."

This Xiaobai is really direct, what do you say.

Su Jingqiu nodded helplessly and said, "No way, the small animals in the forest are very alert, and we are not professional hunters, so we really can't catch them." ”

She sighed and said, "If only we could bring a bow and arrows, we missed a lot of prey." ”

Yes, a few of them were not professional hunters, and it was difficult to hide their whereabouts in the forest, and many fawns and rabbits slipped away early when they saw or heard their figures and sounds from a distance.

"What then?" Shangquan Yiren was a little panicked and hurriedly asked.

Su Jingqiu thought about it, as if she had thought of something, and a smile appeared on her face: "I remember, there is a stream a few kilometers ahead, and if you squat, you should be able to wait for the animals that come to drink."

As soon as several people heard Su Jingqiu's words, they immediately came to their senses and decided to speed up.

After another hour or so, several people faintly heard the sound of gurgling water.

"It's here!" The tired and hungry Shangquan Yiren's head was already covered with beads of sweat, and when he heard the sound of water, the whole person became excited.

Scold!

The knife flashed.

Then a large bee-like insect corpse fell on Kamizumi's back, causing him to take a step forward in fright.

Putting the knife into the sheath, Qi Lin smiled and teased: "Shangquan, seriously, why do you like such a big insect like this, if you don't have me, you're afraid you'll be stung to death here." ”

Bai Baihe said in a muffled voice beside him: "It should be like poop to attract flies." ”

Shangquan Yiren glared at him, and then wilted: "I don't have the strength to quarrel with you now!" ”

Then he sighed and said, "I'm so hungry."

Su Jingqiu said lightly on the side: "Hurry up, the sun will start to set later, and I'm afraid there will be no animals to drink water at that time." ”

Several people immediately quickened their pace, and the gap between the trees in the seemingly endless dense forest in front of them became larger and larger, and the light that showed that as long as they passed through, they could see other scenery.

"Don't go out!"

Suddenly, a cold voice came from above.

When I looked up, it was Nie Ming and the others who set off first, and they were now squatting on the big tree, looking down at Qi Lin and his party.

Qi Lin seemed a little jealous when he saw the young master's expression.

The jealousy was not directed against him, but at what was outside the woods.

There was a hint of quirkiness in the atmosphere.

Qi Lin couldn't help but lower his voice: "What's the situation?" ”

Nie Ming replied softly, "You come up and see for yourself."

Qi Lin thought for a moment, nodded, and untied the beast slashing sword behind his back and leaned against the tree.

Although his strength is terrifying, he doesn't care about the weight, but the weight of more than thirty catties still makes his body feel relaxed for a while.

Then, in the gaze of everyone, Qi Lin took two steps back slightly, and suddenly rushed out in the next second!

Although in terms of straight-line starting speed alone, it is not as fast as "shrinking the ground".

However, the Flying Edgeworth Flow consists of two footwork, which are the "God Speed" that increases the speed of running on flat ground.

and "Flying Sky", which enhances the ability to move in three-dimensional space.

Seeing Qi Lian's footsteps staggered quickly, he didn't even use his hands, so he rushed up to the tree trunk as fast as walking on the ground at an astonishing speed, ran up continuously for nearly ten meters, and then suddenly jumped for the last time, standing on the horizontal branch where Nie Ming was.

"Even-bought karma! Light work! Shangquan Yiren couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Qi Lian's footwork that almost violated the laws of physics.

When he saw Yu Chengen jump thirty meters high just now, his performance was not so exaggerated, because the Sword Saint was already almost like a god in the eyes of Shangquan Yiren.

On the contrary, Qi Lin was able to make this kind of action with a mortal body, and the impact on the people present was greater.

Nie Ming glanced at Qi Lin inexplicably, then restrained his expression and motioned for Qi Lin to look out of the woods.

Qi Lin half-squatted on the horizontal branches, brushed aside the leaves in front of him, and saw a new scene.

I finally understood why Nie Ming warned them.

They were now in a peripheral area of the forest.

Strictly speaking, surrounded by boundless dense forests, there is a clearing covered with grass, and in the middle of the clearing there is a meandering stream seven or eight meters wide, and the clear water flows quickly through this area.

Living water, and the water is clear.

This is a natural water intake point.

But at this moment, this clearing seems a little bloody and terrifying.

I saw a yellow, at least ten meters long, giant monster lying on the edge of the stream.

It resembles an iguana on the Inner Earth, with pale green scales, blue and red stripes on its body, a neatly arranged row of spikes in the center of its back, and long, middle-parted hairs on its head.

At this moment, the front paws of this huge monster are pressing on another large creature about eight meters long, the appearance of that creature is a bit like some kind of herbivorous dinosaur on the planet, this 'dinosaur' is not dead at the moment, it is struggling desperately, but it can't break free from the claws of the 'giant iguana'.

Seeing such a giant beast for the first time, Qi Lian's face showed a shocked expression.

"That's the Great Thief Dragon, and it's the Herbivorous Dragon that it's holding down." Nie Ming, who was beside him, said softly.

Then he added: "The Great Thief Dragon is a relatively strong category of first-order transcendent monsters, and it is difficult for ordinary people to match, so we had better not go out." ”

As he spoke, suddenly a beast roar came from the woods on the other side of the stream!

In the next second, a six-meter beast shaped like a bear rushed out of the woods, quickly flowed across the stream, and rushed straight towards the great thief dragon.
