Hunter: I’m Really Not a Mind Remover

Chapter 465: Boundary Guardian Plants

Deep in the forest.

There are towering trees of the same species everywhere.

These trees are not redwoods, but they are more than 100 meters tall, and the diameter of the trees is up to 10 meters.

The dense crowns of each giant tree are close together, so that no sunlight can penetrate.

If you look down from the distant mountains, the spread of the crown of this forest will give people the illusion that they can walk on flat ground.

Therefore, it is difficult to see the sun inside the forest all day long. There is a cold chill in the air, and the ground covered with fallen leaves and branches is damp and smelly.

Walking in such a dark and cold environment, in every dark place you can see, it seems that something is ready to move.

Even the air that is everywhere...

is also releasing a little bit of pressure towards everyone.

It is not known whether the road ahead is right or wrong.

But it is obviously not easy to pass through this forest now.

Everyone in the team is on edge, alert to any disturbance around them at any time.

After all, this is part of the Dark Continent. Even in an inconspicuous corner, an unreasonable and bizarre creature may pop out.

In comparison, the behemoth that Netero had described is easier to deal with.

After all, those beings are visible to the naked eye...

Unlike the black shadow insects encountered before, although they are so fragile that they can be easily solved with a small telekinetic bullet, they are hard to find and have strange attack capabilities.

Moyu even suspected that those black shadow insects have the ability to kill behemoths.

An ant bites an elephant to death.

This kind of thing is bizarre just thinking about it.

But in a place like the Dark Continent, it doesn't seem strange at all.

The team traveled through the damp and cold forest. The marching formation was still the same as before, with Xiso Benso in charge of mine clearance, exploring the way ahead and eliminating potential threats.

But due to the forest terrain and the various threats that may be encountered along the way, the team's marching speed was not fast.

Compared with the speed of crossing the white land and black hills at the beginning, it was a world of difference.

"If we continue like this, I wonder how long it will take to get through this forest."

Moyu kept an eye on the real-time vision transmitted back from Xiso Benso, frowning, with a trace of melancholy floating in his eyes.

White land, black hills, giant grasslands...

When coming from these places, traveling a thousand miles a day is nothing.

But in this forest, traveling three hundred miles a day is pretty good.

Not to mention the vision problem, they have encountered many very aggressive creatures along the way.

Most of the creatures were dealt with by them, and a few of them were afraid of Moyu's "all-killing" aura, and fled without fighting as soon as they appeared.

This is the fundamental reason why the team is moving too slowly.

If the creatures they encountered could not be barely classified as normal, the speed would probably be even slower.

Moyu thought that if he moved forward from the treetops, he might be able to avoid the various creatures in the forest, thereby greatly increasing the speed of travel.

However, this plan was aborted.

Xisobenso, who was sent by him to the treetops, was torn into pieces by a group of arrow-shaped flying creatures before he could stand firm.

From the vision before Xisobenso collapsed, the attackers were about the size of a mobile phone, and their flying state was quite similar to that of dragonflies, but they had sharp arrow-shaped angles on their heads, and there were a lot of them.

They seemed to live in the dense treetops at ordinary times, and they would come out in full force when they heard the slightest movement.

Xisobenso was torn into pieces in an instant under such circumstances.

Logically speaking, the mind energy wrapped around the body should allow Xisobenso to hold on for a while.

But the fact is that the group of flying creatures destroyed Xisobenso in one encounter.

When they launched the attack, they seemed to be driven by some kind of program. Although there were many of them, they could attack every corner of Xisobenso's body in sequence.

It was this kind of seamless group attack method that could tear Xisobenso into pieces in one or two seconds.

At first, Moyu thought that they were unlucky and had mistakenly entered the territory of this group of flying creatures, so he changed the place to conduct the experiment.

As a result, they still encountered this flying creature that looked like a dragonfly.

After that, they changed several positions in a row, but there was no change.

No matter where they climbed the tree canopy, they would be attacked by this group of flying creatures in a short time.

This result made Moyu give up the idea of ​​moving above the tree canopy and could only walk through the forest honestly.

After all, compared with the flying creatures as dense as ant colonies, other creatures encountered in the forest would be easier to deal with.

In this way, Moyu's team gradually explored forward under the premise of ensuring safety.

During this period, it was inevitable to raise the butcher knife and kill all the attacking creatures.

Fortunately, during this period of time, there was no more existence as difficult as the black shadow insect.

Sometimes, some creatures that released goodwill would be encountered.

They were not very aggressive, and they would not have the kind of bloody and vicious aura.

Perhaps because of this, Moyu's "Affinity +2" attribute can attract the goodwill of these creatures.

It's a pity that these creatures don't have the potential to communicate.

Otherwise, we can let Pyon build a communication bridge like before, so as to collect information that can speed up the march and reduce the threat of marching.

In the end -

It took the team twenty days to get out of the forest.

The whole journey was safe and sound.

It was that Xiaodi was infected with some unknown virus, and had a high fever for a day and a night, almost dying.

Fortunately, Sambika was there, and snatched Xiaodi from the god of death at the last moment.

According to Sambika's judgment, the source of the virus that infected Xiaodi was most likely from those creatures attracted by Moyu's affinity.

So after this incident, the team no longer rashly contacted these creatures that came with good intentions, and would disperse them as soon as possible every time.

Walking out of this forest that can be called a paradise for biological hunters, the scene in front of us suddenly changed.

The uneven white rock ground stretched from the feet to the distance, and along the slope, there was a large area of ​​hollow giant rocks of various shapes. From a distance, it looked like a super-large coral reef appearing on land.

And on the boundary between the end of the hillside and the middle line of the coral reef-like rock, there was a light brown strip with a diameter of more than three meters across the ground.

Its length is endless, as if it is a dividing line drawn by the Creator himself...

"It looks like a tree root..."

Moyu looked left and right.

Then, as usual, he threw his shadow clone into the sky to overlook the view and found that this light brown object that looked like a tree root was indeed like a boundary line across the earth, separating the hillside and the coral reef-like rock area.

Everyone looked at the tree root-like object lying on the hillside.

Even when they heard Moyu say that the object was so long that they could not see the end, they did not react much.

It has been more than two months since I came to the Dark Continent, and I have seen too many incredible things along the way.

Now it is just a tree root-like object of astonishing length, so there is no need to make a fuss.

"What do you mean, the old rules?"

Kangzai looked at Moyu and asked.

Things like exploring the way or trial and error should be done by the reinforcement system.

But the team has the ability of "Soul Echo", so it is naturally not Kangzai's turn to risk his life.

Otherwise, even if he had the super self-healing ability of "Tiger Stripes", no matter how many lives he had, it would not be enough in front of that strange creature full of various unknown abilities.

"Of course."

Moyu nodded, looked up at the many coral-like rocks standing high up, and a trace of sorrow flashed across his eyes.

After nearly three months of trekking, everything he saw on the way was inconsistent with the content of the book "New World Travel Notes"...

Does this mean that they were teleported to a place that has nothing to do with Nitolomi by the ancient pipeline?

If they had known this would happen earlier, they might not have been so anxious to use the ancient pipeline to reach the Dark Continent.

But if they didn't do this...

The matter of smuggling alone is also a long way off.

In the final analysis, it's because there are too few options.

But there is no point in thinking about these things now, and we can only find a way to get an opportunity to obtain intelligence as soon as possible.

I just hope to meet intelligent creatures with the possibility of communication on the unknown road ahead.

In this way, it doesn't matter even if a few monsters come.

Moyou suppressed his thoughts and then manipulated Xisobenso to slowly walk towards the tree root-like object that separated the two areas.

The reason why their team was able to get to this point safely was of course because the "shadow space" could carry sufficient survival supplies and provide a safe haven in times of crisis.

But more importantly, it was because the shadow clone brought countless trial and error opportunities to the entire team.

It infinitely raised the error tolerance when exploring the road.

Xisobenso slowly came closer, and then under the close attention of everyone, he raised his foot and stepped over the tree root-like object on the ground.

But at this moment, the originally lifeless tree root-like object suddenly boiled like liquid, and then instantly derived dense anemone-like tentacles.

Then these tentacles were like rapidly closing vertical and horizontal sharp teeth, wrapping Xisobenso in it.

The next moment, these tentacles quickly retracted and turned back to their original tree root-like form at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But the Xisobenso wrapped by them just disappeared out of thin air.

At the same time.

Moyu received the feedback of pain.

It was like countless red-hot iron rods piercing his body. Even though he had a strong pain tolerance, he couldn't help but frown at this moment, silently enduring the pain that was difficult to describe in words.

To say that the shadow clone did play a crucial role in the exploration path, but the price was that Moyu had to endure all kinds of pain.

Fortunately, Moyu started to hone his pain tolerance a long time ago, otherwise he might have been pierced by all kinds of pain and thus had a mental breakdown.

"Good guy!"

Seeing the tree root-like thing transform into many tentacles to devour Xisobenso, Kangzai's face changed.

But even if he had a simple mind, he couldn't help but wonder why this tree root-like thing was laid on the ground so openly.

Since it was a trap-style predation, it should be hidden even more.

Xiaodi and Menqi's focus was on Moyu.

They noticed Moyu's frowning and painful expression.

In their impression, it seemed that this was the first time they saw Moyu showing such an obvious reaction.

"Moyu..."

Piyon took two steps closer and asked softly: "Does it hurt?"

The other members of the team also looked at Moyu.

Facing the caring eyes of the crowd, Moyu did not hide and nodded: "It hurts a lot. In terms of level, it is at least 'A-'."

"So severe?"

Bisiji raised her eyebrows.

What she just saw was that Xiso Benso was swallowed up in an instant.

I thought such a quick death would not cause any pain, but I didn't expect the opposite to happen.

Moyu nodded again, and then materialized a new Xisobenso.

"As long as we test the attack height of this thing, we should be able to pass it."

As he said this, Moyu manipulated Xisobenso to jump to a height of ten meters in the air, trying to use this method to pass over the tree root-like object on the ground.

However, just as Xisobenso passed by, the tree root-like object once again boiled like liquid, and then derived dense anemone-like tentacles, and the attack speed became several times faster...

Everyone's eyes changed, and they could barely see that the tentacles were like whales jumping out of the sea level, opening their bloody mouths to swallow Xisobenso into them.

In less than a breath of time.

The tree root-like object that swallowed Xisobenso returned to its original state again.

Seeing this scene, everyone was silent and looked at Moyu.

Moyu only frowned and silently endured the pain that was fed back.

When the pain dissipated, Moyu materialized Xisobenso again.

This time the vertical jump height was 30 meters, and Xisobenso played at the fastest speed.

Unfortunately, it was swallowed by countless anemone-like tentacles in an instant.

"It seems that it won't work. This thing seems to be able to adjust the height and speed of the attack according to the situation."

After several experiments, Moyu realized this.

Bisiji and others saw the test process and naturally held the same view as Moyu.

"Then we can't get through?"

Kangzai stared at the tree root-like thing in front of him.

Who would have thought that this seemingly ordinary thing would have such a perverted predation ability.

"We still have Shubao."

As he said, Moyu raised his finger and lightly tapped the bead necklace.

The beads glowed with a white light, and then turned into Shubao.

"Jiji!"

Shubao looked up at Moyu, then patted his chest with his short hands, indicating that there was no problem at all.

Moyou smiled, but was not too happy too soon.

Because from the test results, it is still unclear whether this tree root-like thing will only attack people who are crossing the line, or will also attack people who cross the line.

If it attacks people who cross the line, then Shubao's ability is meaningless.

Anyway, let's give it a try.

Anyway, we can use Xisobenso to test it first.

Thinking of this, Moyou also threw away his worries.

"Chiji!"

Shubao stimulated waves of telekinesis and soon created a straight passage.

Everyone jumped into the passage.

After a while.

A dark circle with green edges appeared on the surface of a coral-like rock dozens of meters away from the tree root-like thing.

Then Xisobenso walked out of the dark circle and faced the tree root-like thing lying on the ground.

This time, the tree root-like thing did not react.

Seeing this result, Moyou breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, everyone came out of the passage of "Accelerator" and successfully crossed the boundary line set up by the tree root-like object.

Now——

We have to keep moving forward.

A few days later.

Dong Fulishi followed the trail and came here.

"It's amazing that we solved the obstruction of the "Boundary Guardian Plant" so quickly."

After confirming that Moyu and his group had passed through the tree root-like object called the boundary guarding plant, Dong Fulishi's interest suddenly became stronger.

He hadn't seen humans for a long, long time.

And they were a group of humans with outstanding abilities that could solve all kinds of obstacles in the Dark Continent.
