"Living fruit?"

Hazy picked up the fruit he had just picked and looked at it.

Underneath the fruit is a row of furry, wriggling antennae.

Like an animal, not a plant.

The fruit's tentacles tried to pierce his skin and penetrate the flesh, but they couldn't because the hazy skin was unusually hard.

"It's... Do you want to eat it? ”

Anthony rolled his throat.

Hazy controls the skin to become saggy, allowing the tentacles of the fruit to penetrate and suck the blood.

Seeing this, the three of them did not say anything.

Hazy is indeed better suited to such dangerous actions than they are.

The fruit seemed to be glued to the hazy arm, greedily sucking blood.

What looked like an extracorporeal heart began to pound.

"Hmm... Sure enough..."

Hao felt it for a moment, and said softly: "This fruit is not for eating, it can absorb nutrients in the blood to survive, and it can also secrete and transform nutrients into the body." ”

"Nutrients?"

"Yes, it's the nutrients that the body needs, to put it simply, with this thing, you don't need to eat... It's the equivalent of a portable supply kit, the problem is, I don't know how long it will 'survive', for the time being, there is no danger... It is a parasitic fruit. As he spoke, Hao handed the other fruits to the three of them in turn.

The three of them also hurriedly put the fruit on the body parts that did not affect their movements, allowing them to parasitize.

"It's amazing..."

Menqi praised.

This value has undoubtedly reached the height of 'hope'.

But alas, it is still not what they wanted.

However, it also solved their urgent need, at least for the next period of time, there is no need to eat raw meat.

"There should be some kind of life form around here, a special kind." Hazy reminded again.

"It's the scarecrow, isn't it?"

Men Qi continued.

"Hmm... Judging from the data, there are high-level intelligent life forms in the Dark Continent, which used to be a territory inhabited by humans and demonic beasts, and the human ancestors who fled to the island in the lake back then may only be a part. There should be something left behind... The so-called gatekeepers are also sub-humans, and they can negotiate with humans, and without its permission, humans cannot truly enter the Dark Continent. Hazy explained, scanning her surroundings.

"But our routes are different, isn't it... If you go in from here, will you encounter the gatekeeper too? ”

Anthony frowned.

"Mostly..."

Hao actually had an idea in his heart all along, but he didn't say it.

The three of them glanced at each other.

If the captain's guess was correct, wouldn't that mean that there was an unimaginable wall, sitting in a circle on the continent. And, one more thing, if human beings have some kind of greed or some other desire, it seems... They are not qualified to pass the gatekeeper level and do not deserve to enter.

"Huh?"

After a while, Hazy stopped.

There is another 'hope' ahead of them.

It was one after another, like a pool-sized body of water, but the difference was that the water was dark red and erupted from the ground, boiling like lava, but not as thick as magma. And in the center of each water source, pure white flowers grow.

But the neighborhood was still full of scarecrows, and this time there were a lot of them.

"It's an oasis..."

Men Qi's voice became serious, not only the life forms of the Dark Continent are strange, but even the environment is quite weird.

Could it be that there is a hidden volcano beneath their feet?

But this is simply not possible ...

"It seems that the further we go in, the fewer monsters we encounter." Anthony also chimed in.

"One alone doesn't tell the story, but so many words... That is, some kind of creature that exists in this vicinity must be social and numerous, and we have stepped into their territory. "Menqi was a little nervous.

Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

More scarecrows appear, indicating that it is not the energy of the regular system... Just some kind of warning.

At least within the area of the oasis, there is already a consensus among other organisms within the food chain.

Seeing this scarecrow is like seeing the deity, and you have to avoid it.

Peeing with cats and dogs patrolling the territory leaves a smell that is a nature.

To have this kind of deterrent power means that this kind of group species must be one of the overlords in the oasis.

"It seems... The imprint and influence left by human beings on the Dark Continent in the past is really not small, even after so much time, some things are still engraved into the genes, even after a long period of reproduction and alternation, it is still impossible to forget. After speaking, he stepped forward.

Walking to the water source, under the nervous gaze of the three Menqi, he put his hand into the boiling water that seemed to be extremely hot.

Then, as the arm was raised, a viscous stream of water splashed down the arm.

It has a unique aroma.

"Honey?"

Hazy stuck out his tongue and tasted it.

The texture and taste are very similar to honey...

In the next second, Hao suddenly got up and smiled.

Turning his head to look at the three of them, "Found it!" ”

'Hope' that has a similar effect to longevity rice!

After this liquid enters the abdomen, it is very easy to absorb, and Hao only tasted a little bit before feeling the change in flesh and blood.

His blood and qi had improved a little, although it was not obvious, but it had really increased, and his spirit seemed to have become uplifted.

"Increasing stamina, eliminating fatigue, recovering from state... If you take it for a long time, it can also improve your strength! ”

Hazy analyzing.

This effect is tantamount to increasing longevity in disguise!

Bang bang bang ...

Then, suddenly, the nearby scarecrows fell one after another, without warning.

The three of them looked at each other, their faces were bloodless, and their pupils were palpitating.

It was as if something terrible had appeared behind him.

Hao was highly vigilant in an instant and entered a combat state.

His senses, on this continent, cannot detect the danger thoroughly... After all, the scope is limited.

And many species can suddenly appear from a very distant location.

For example, the three-headed monster bird covered in carrion in the desert...

On the ground behind him, something broke through the ground, a rhizome.

At first, it was just one, but in an instant, it proliferated, becoming as messy and dense as a ball of thread, growing out of thin air.

In just a few seconds, it grew into a towering tree, more than 100 meters high, and the huge canopy formed a shadow that covered the sky.

Curiously, the tree has human-like arms, no branches, and a crown-like crown on top of its head.

Moreover, in the center of the trunk, the folds of the bark also form a facial pattern similar to that of a human.

Tree Man standing in the sky!

Around the ground, the earth waves were churning, and one tree after another broke through the ground, making the terrain that was relatively flat a moment turn into a sea of forests in an instant.

The 'eyes' of all the tree people were looking down at the haze that had just eaten the 'forbidden fruit'.

This tiny living being.

"I see... It's all very deep underground, no wonder you can't detect it..."

Whispering.

A ghost mist burst out of his body, and his expression was cold.

The surging black mist did not disperse, only a spirit came out of the mist.

There are Ant King Meluam, Catwoman Nephibit, as well as Nitro, Biyande, etc., all of which are souls that have been absorbed by him before, and each spirit leads a large number of ghosts, like several armies.

The Great Crisis!

There are dozens of these tree people, and each one of them has terrifying vibrations...

In the desert, they hunt monsters, mostly one by one, and never fight against a group of creatures.

Not to mention a group, even one tree, it is not something that the three of Men Qi can handle.

Gotta make a move...

He's going to be serious.

"Vision."

Hazy said, his eyes lit up.

The world in his field of vision changed suddenly, and in his eyes, all physical objects disappeared.

For the rest, there is only soul matter.

At the same time, a dark green flame burned his face, manifesting a mask.

It is the countenance of a hammerstone.

As soon as he had done this, the huge roots of the tree that covered the sky swept towards him.
