Chapter 610 Death Halo
It is not easy to find a relatively safe place to park the boat on the coast of the Dark Continent.
Moyou and Jin carved the teleportation word as quickly as possible, which was a kind of guarantee.
But compared to the role of warning the divine words and strengthening the divine words, transmitting the divine words is of little significance.
Because the Dark Continent is so big, once the team goes deep into the interior, as the distance increases, it will naturally exceed the distance that the divine words can transmit.
Departure is about to begin, and everyone in the team has brought some necessary supplies.
Asi and Nongwu's space capability reserve capacity is very limited, and it is already quite difficult to load some equipment such as medical equipment.
Therefore, the team members naturally cannot travel lightly, and they all bring as much exploration supplies as possible, such as clean water.
Moyo led the team at the front.
This is supposed to be the responsibility of the strengthening system, but Moyu's "amount of manifest energy" is the strongest in the entire team. Even if he is not a strengthening system, he can use this advantage to build a defense comparable to that of the strengthening system.
"Pence, don't spread the bee swarm too far."
After exiting the cave and arriving on the flat land that Potter White mentioned, Moyu looked back at Peng Si who was in the middle of the team and gave a reminder.
The role of the swarm is reconnaissance, and they are the first to face threats.
The bee swarm is not a materialized thing. If one of them dies, it is a loss. It cannot expand the scope of trial and error without scruples like the shadow clone.
"good."
Pengsi took a deep breath, and did not control the swarm by "giving orders", but used her ability to control it herself.
This operation will force her to endure a greater mental loss, but it can also reduce the loss rate of the swarm.
Using swarms of bees to clear the way around the perimeter, everyone headed toward the forest far ahead along the flat land.
Looking at the forest from a distance, all one can see is the deep green lying on the horizon.
As the distance gradually narrowed, what appeared in front of everyone's eyes were giant trees with a height of more than a hundred meters.
Judging by the naked eye, it is at least forty or fifty stories high.
Everyone stood on the outskirts of the forest, looking solemnly at the many giant trees in front of them.
In addition to the astonishing height of these giant trees, the diameter of their trunks is also particularly astonishing, at least ten meters.
What’s worth paying attention to is——
Their location was just outside the forest.
Perhaps there are even more luxuriant and huge trees deep in the forest.
"stay close."
Moyu retracted his gaze from the many tree crowns, and instead looked directly at the glorious floating forest in front of him.
The height and trunk diameter of these giant trees are extraordinary, but the growth of the crowns is not as lush as expected, and can even be said to be sparse.
So the light in the forest is not bad.
Moyu was the first to step into the forest, followed closely by the rest of the team.
As soon as we entered the forest, the sounds of various insects and birds came from all directions.
Pengsi's swarms were mixed in, surrounding the team like many small radars.
Moyu walked at the front, always paying attention to the goings-on around him.
"The 'Shadow Clone' is more useful..."
Moyu thought to himself as he glanced at the bumblebee not far away.
Although the bee swarm can play an early warning role, it is far inferior to the shadow clone in terms of detecting paths and preventing disasters.
Distance, field of view, collecting attack intelligence...
These most critical abilities can only be achieved by having the ability of a clone with a high degree of refinement.
When exploring the Dark Continent for the first time, it was thanks to the practicality of shadow clones that the team's survival rate reached an incredible 100%.
Now...
Moyu looked slightly solemn.
time flies.
The team traveled for half a day, but the surrounding scenery remained unchanged.
The ground under your feet is still hard, and light is flooding all around. Giant trees with sparse crowns stand irregularly, and a vibrant and complex atmosphere comes from invisible corners...
After traveling for half a day, the team did not encounter any attacks.
Although this place is only the outermost part of the Dark Continent, it is so peaceful and peaceful that everyone still feels a little surprised and weird.
But even if the journey was peaceful, everyone did not relax their vigilance at all.
Until sunset, the team was still moving forward steadily.
As the sky grows dark, the sounds of the forest gradually become fainter.
"What will happen on the first day of 'night'..."
Everyone looked around at the darkening forest, their hearts alert.
The peace of the day does not bring any sense of security.
What kind of terror will strike when and where...
No one knows.
At this time, the importance of the fourth-dimensional apartment and shadow space can be reflected.
Without the space to rest and relax, we can only take turns to keep vigil, and the vigil team must not be less than three people...
After all, this is the Dark Continent and must be treated with absolute respect.
But what was unexpected was——
The night passed without incident.
early morning.
A gauzy morning mist enveloped the forest.
Hexi's warm sunlight passed through the tree crown, projecting hazy light pillars.
Everyone packed their bags, settled the breakfast issue briefly, and then continued on their way.
"If it weren't for these big trees that look like they have lived for two or three thousand years, who would know that this is somewhere in the Dark Continent..."
"Don't be careless."
"Know."
"We are still far away from the 'threshold'. The further we go inside, the more dangerous it will be."
"Hey, maybe you will find a powerful hope before reaching the 'threshold'."
"..."
Everyone lined up and walked through the forest.
They walked until noon, and everything was still peaceful.
However, they saw many colorful insects and birds that they had never seen before.
"It's so safe... It makes me feel uneasy."
A strange sense of contradiction flooded in his heart. Moyu raised his eyebrows and looked at a bird flying by the tree.
The bird was scarlet, but its eyes were as pale as white jade.
The bird was only the size of a baby's fist, and it looked extremely small among the trees that were hundreds of meters high.
The rare disharmony in this forest was that the birds were very small and the insects were very large.
Then the birds naturally became the food of the insects...
"Stop."
Suddenly, Moyu, who was walking in the front, stopped, raised his hand and made a fist, signaling his teammates to stop.
About sixty seconds in front of Moyu, there was a gray-white open area.
The color exuded a strong sense of desolation, like a giant sword cutting a hideous wound in the deep green forest.
Moyu stared at the gray-white empty area, his eyes slightly solemn.
He noticed that there were many miniature tree trunks in the gray-white path that was at least 20 meters wide...
At first glance, he thought that the gray-white path was left by a fierce fire.
But after a few more glances, he did not find any traces of fire.
"Will it be a 'disaster'..."
Moyu's solemn eyes slightly raised and saw the end of the gray-white path that stretched deep into the forest.
He vaguely smelled a strong smell of death.
And it came from the kind of death from the mind ability system, but the kind of withered death without any life.
Jin came to Moyu's side, his expression was the same as Moyu's, both of them were slightly solemn.
"It doesn't look like a fire, nor does it look like withering..."
Raising his finger to his chin, Jin's eyes showed a thoughtful look.
Moyu tilted his head to look at Jin, nodded and said, "Yes, it feels like my vitality has been drained away."
"Drained?"
Jin was slightly startled, then shook his head and said, "If it is according to what you said, then judging from the traces at the scene, it is more like being deprived of vitality by violence."
"..."
Moyu was silent after hearing this.
There were no dead leaves or limbs, nor ashes after the fire.
What exactly happened?
No one could have imagined what had happened here before seeing more information.
The only thing to do is to be more cautious.
"I suggest avoiding this road."
Toman, a biological hunter in the team, raised his right hand.
This biological hunter has a hedgehog head, red snake-like stripes on his face, a strong figure, and wears a dark green military uniform.
Everyone glanced at Toman and had no objection.
Although it is not clear how this gray-white path was created and what caused it to appear...
But it is certain that anything related to this path is extremely dangerous.
In this case, of course, you should stay away from this gray-white path.
Human courage and curiosity to explore the unknown are not applicable here.
"Take a detour."
Moyu immediately made the decision.
The heavy death aura that permeated the gray path made him feel a little uneasy.
It was also this death aura that made him give up the idea of close contact and observation.
In a place like the Dark Continent, once you encounter an incomprehensible strange phenomenon, you should retreat as far as possible.
Unless you can see the true face of the "other party" clearly.
Everyone quickly adjusted their formation and stayed away from the gray-white path that stretched into the depths of the forest.
Although they had to find a very valuable hope before the Bi Yangde team, they could not take some unnecessary risks because of time issues.
The team moved forward again, and soon they could not see the gray-white path.
But before everyone could rest assured for too long, a gray-white path appeared again in front of them.
And it was not just one, but five...
These five gray paths were like a chaotic brushstroke, drawing five intersecting handwriting in the forest.
Wherever the handwriting passed, all the animals and plants turned into tiny gray-white things, but they still barely retained some characteristics.
In addition, there was a dead atmosphere on the intersecting gray-white paths.
"This...?!"
Most of the team looked at the five intersecting gray-white paths in a bit of astonishment.
There was no need to discuss this situation.
We must continue to take a detour.
"Let's go."
Moyou had no intention of staying at all, and waved his hand to let everyone adjust the formation immediately.
But just when they adjusted their positions, a land creature about the size of a millstone appeared in the other direction.
It was a land turtle.
It was about the same size as a tricycle, and its whole body was emerald green. Under the sunlight, you could see that the tortoise shell and even its limbs had a green sheen.
But this land turtle carried a gray-white stone that looked like a stone tablet on its back.
The surface of the stone was bumpy, and it was entangled with green vines that kept beating like a pulse.
This unknown land turtle came from 60 to 70 meters away. Its speed was not very fast, about the speed of a 3 or 4 year old child.
The reason why Moyou and his companions were able to immediately discover the existence of this land turtle was because everything within a 20-meter range of the land turtle turned into gray-white objects.
Even a giant tree with a height of nearly 200 meters has shrunk to a pile of trunks, branches and leaves that can be seen with the naked eye, let alone weeds and bushes on the ground.
As the land turtle crawled slowly, a gray-white path about twenty meters wide formed behind the land turtle.
Seeing this scene, everyone present looked condensed.
It turned out that the gray-white path filled with the air of death was forcibly walked by this land turtle carrying a stone tablet.
"Death halo?"
Moyu instantly thought of a buff ability that was quite common in the game, and couldn't help but murmur to himself in surprise.
Jin and Pyorn, who were senior players next to them, understood instantly.
Judging from this scene, it does look like a death halo.
And this kind of powerful skill that only appears in the game, once it appears in reality, it is undoubtedly one of the most terrifying existences.
No one would bet on the possibility of "whether telekinesis can withstand the lethal aura".
This also means that they can't afford to offend, but they can afford to hide.
Moyu just made a gesture, and the entire team retreated in an orderly manner, away from the land turtle that was leisurely walking through the forest.
This was the first eerie threat they encountered after landing in the Dark Continent.
Fortunately, this land turtle is quite slow, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
"Judging from the paths we encountered, there may be more than one in this forest."
Chiduo frowned and stared at the slowly crawling stone tablet land turtle, and reminded everyone.
Potter White then suggested: "We can try to attack it. As long as we use the surrounding green plants as a reference, we can effectively avoid the ability to turn trees into dilapidated and gray things out of thin air. "
"Then give it a try."
Mo You nodded and immediately looked at Mo Laowu in the team.
Sensing Mo You's gaze, Mo Lao Wu immediately understood, raised the big pipe he carried with him, lit it as quickly as possible, and then took a sip.
"call……"
Mo Laowu opened his mouth and blew out a stream of white smoke, and then created smoke soldiers one by one under the influence of his mind.
"Purple Smoke Machine Troop"
Without any hesitation, Mo Laowu gave the order to attack.
All of a sudden——
The smoke soldiers who had just emerged from the mimicry suddenly pounced on the crawling land turtle like a pack of wolves.
But when the smoke soldiers stepped within one meter in front of the land turtle, they all turned into blue smoke and disappeared without a trace, just like the snow melting in spring.
"Um!?"
Mo Laowu was slightly shocked.
Just now, he could feel that he had instantly lost contact with these distributed "manifest energy".
"The range ahead is about one meter, but we do not rule out the possibility that this distance can be extended."
Although the smoke soldiers melted out of thin air and did not cause any harm to the land turtle, they gave everyone a useful piece of information.
Thought power,
Unable to resist damage from the lethal aura!
