Chapter 395: Dark Mushroom Forest

It took about half an hour for Midi to untie the magic chains, which was exactly how long the planned break would take.

Next, the two continued their journey.

After another six hours of silent marching without any communication or even any sound, and with a few expected sporadic battles, Midi and Zaknavan finally came to an underground river.

The river is extremely wide, and the sound of water echoes through the interconnected caves and underground spaces, enough to be heard tens of kilometers away.

What is even more surprising is that in the clear bottom of the river, you can see a lot of fluorescence.

Those are also the phenomenon caused by the crystals condensed by the Gloom Yinghua, but compared to the Phantom Light Grass, the amount is much smaller, and it is also difficult to collect.

However, despite their lack of utility, these fluorescences can still be considered a sign of the river.

For this reason, the people of the tarantula tribe called this river "fluorescent river".

This is also the boundary of the area they control, and after crossing the Fluorescent River, it is the uncharted territory that Midi and Zaknavan need to explore.

However, after twelve hours of forced march, it was naturally impossible for the two to set out in a hurry, on the contrary, as soon as they reached the Fluorescent River, they immediately began to look for a place to camp.

Relying on the power of environmental sensing, Midi found a place to live faster than Zaknavan.

It's a small cave with two back paths, which is perfect for hiding, and even if a fire is lit, the light will not be refracted to the outside.

However, the two still tacitly agreed not to raise any open flames, but used the "ghost fire" unique to ghost swordsmen to roast the prey caught halfway through the way and then eat it.

In the darkness, Midi is becoming more and more like a true hunter of the Dark Lands.

After four hours of rest, food, and water, Zaknavi finally spoke again: "My friend, are you ready?"

"Of course, I'm looking forward to it. Midi replied lightly.

In the eyes of the two, there was a strong fighting spirit at the same time.

During the previous twelve hours of marching, although I had encountered a lot of demonic beasts, they were just lone hunters.

Under the regular cleaning of the tarantula tribe, it is difficult for these demonic beasts with low intelligence to fight only by instinct, and as long as there are more than five of them, they will be discovered by the patrol team and then strangled one by one.

Not only that, but since the previous people had already figured out the relationship between the various resources, the location of the water source, the location of the rest point, and even the location of those small demonic beast nests that could be used were clearly marked on the map.

Therefore, during these twelve hours of marching, Midi and Zaknavan were able to travel all the way, without detours, without lack of supplies, and without a place to stay.

However, on the opposite side of the Fluorescent River, a qiē is unknown.

What kind of Warcraft exists?

Where are the sources of water and supplies?

Where can I rest?

Even the terrain of the entire area is unclear, and it is up to the explorers to figure it out on their own.

As for whether there are more or fewer resources, it can only be left to chance.

Due to the combination of many factors, the warriors of the Tarantula tribe would not bother to come to such a place unless they were forced to do so by the Council of Elders.

Only the best slave fighters would take on such a task in order to gain more freedom.

However, Midi found that there was a hint of confidence in Zaknavan's expression, which was well hidden.

"You've been here before?" Midi suddenly understood.

How could Zaknavan be so calm if he didn't have some knowledge of the area he was about to explore?

Moreover, with this person's cautious character, it is impossible to bet his freedom and qualifications to enter the Black Dragon Conference on illusory luck.

In retrospect, he didn't hesitate to choose a mission before he set off, and he was obviously prepared.

Good guys, hiding deep enough.

Midi sighed secretly in her heart.

But think about it, in this dark region where the weak eat the strong, who can stand at the top, which one does not have a little hidden hole card?

With such a companion with both strength and scheming, Midi will not only have no fear, but will only be happy.

After hearing Midi's words, Zaknavan only smiled slightly, and then said: "I guessed half right, I haven't really been here, but I know what is here." ”

It turns out that although this area is completely unknown to the tarantula tribe, Tempest City, where Zaknavan was born, has some records about this place.

After all, in the dark region, in a "city", there are dozens of families, even the weakest of them, the strength is definitely above the "village" like the tarantula tribe. It can be said that the overall gap between the two sides is unimaginably large.

What seems to be a place like the Tarantula tribe is extremely remote, but for a city, it may be just a "suburb" around it.

In addition, most of the underground cities are the places where many trade routes converge, so they are particularly well-informed, so they have a better grasp of various unknown areas.

For example, the area south of the Fluorescent River, although it is indeed borderland, however, there are several caravans that have set foot in it, and Zaknavan happened to have read the relevant reports, and now, by chance, it came in handy.

"According to the report, south of the Fluorescent River, there is a huge area of dark mushroom forest. Zaknafan said with great certainty.

Dark mushroom forests, in layman's terms, are mushroom forests, or fungal forests.

In the dark area, there is no sunlight, and naturally there are no green plants that rely on photosynthesis to survive, and some are all kinds of fungi.

But of course, these mushrooms are very different from the mushrooms and mosses on the surface that can be pulled up with one hand.

Here, after thousands of years of evolution and suitable environment, they are enough to grow to tens of meters high, like real towering trees, and even touch the tops of many low underground tunnels.

And in these dark mushroom forests like towering trees, all kinds of underground plants, underground creatures, and even dangerous magical beasts have naturally formed a new ecosystem.

It can be said that for the dark areas with scarce resources, such an underground forest has extremely high value and is a natural hunting and gathering ground.

The only question is how strong the demonic beasts inhabited by this dark mushroom forest are, which is what Midi and Zaknafan must figure out, and it is also the information that the tarantula tribe will be most concerned about in the future.

However, the details of this can only be explored by the two of them on their own.

After all, this is a marginal place that no one cares about, and even Tempest City won't be paid much attention to.

Of course, in Midi's plan, exploration is only incidental, and his real purpose is twofold.

First, naturally, he found the Phantom Light Grass or something similar that contained a large amount of Gloomy Yinghua, and did his best to improve his level.

The second is to get as many rare resources as possible, and then exchange them for more contribution points.

"Scatter!"

Crossing the Fluorescent River and entering the Dark Mushroom Forest, Zaknafan, who led the way in front, immediately made a gesture.

The two of them immediately distanced themselves, one after the other, heading towards the depths of the Dark Mushroom Forest.

Zaknavan is a sword spirit, only knows the means of melee combat, and as a dark elf, he is far more familiar with the details of the dark region than Midi, so he volunteered to go ahead.

And Midi, because of the long-range attack skills of Asura, was arranged to be in the back and follow Zaknavan forward.

In a way, this can also be said to reflect Zaknavan unreserved trust, after all, he has entrusted his back to Midi.

The two of them walked forward in silence, and soon found a high ground.

On this high ground, there was only one mushroom, much larger than its compatriots, thirty meters high, and the huge umbrella crown at the top even touched the top of this huge space, like a giant stooping over.

This is a mushroom king wood, which is at least a thousand years old.

One of the best vantage points.

Midi and Zaknavan each took out the hook and lock they had prepared long ago, and with a sharp and agile technique, they soon reached the top of the mushroom king's wood.

From here, you can see a radius of five or six kilometers.

Although Midi's environmental sensing is still far from being able to envelop a radius of five or six kilometers around it, it is not a problem if it is scanned.

While Zaknavan was still observing with the infrared vision of the dark elves, Midi's powerful psychic abilities had swept through like autumn wind.

Soon, all the surrounding situations were under Midi's control.

"Follow me!" Midi said to Zaknavan.

As a dark elf, Zaknavi was somewhat skeptical of human guidance.

He could have entrusted his back to Midi, but let Midi lead the way, and to be honest, Zaknavan was really not at ease.

However, out of trust in Midi's strong strength, he still nodded, and then followed Midi down the mushroom kingwood.

Midi didn't say much, but ran directly towards the east end of the Dark Mushroom Forest, and soon, a smell of blood wafted over.

A huge python suddenly pounced out of a thick fungus bush where it was sheltering, and there were four rows of teeth in its bloody mouth.

It's a pity that Midi had already seen its hiding place clearly from the commanding heights, and he was already prepared at this moment.

I saw that the "killing" and "lore" swords in his hands slashed out silently, and they were extremely accurate and slashed above the seven inches of this python.

At the same time, Zaknavan, who was slowly swaying behind, also jumped over like lightning at this moment, and launched an attack at the same time.

Although the unique demonic beasts in this dark region are extremely strong, they have no choice but to have a relatively low IQ, and they are fished by two ferocious hunters who are prepared, so they naturally have no way to resist it.

After a few moments, the python's massive body lay limply on the ground, never moving again.
