Chapter 490: Deadly Forest
In the Huoyun Forest, Nan Jue and his group wearing military medals seemed to be the first to arrive at Pingling Mountain. They wandered in the Huoyun Forest, as if they were a little lost. The chapters were updated the fastest
In fact, after arriving here, they didn't know where to go, so they could only wander around the Fire Cloud Forest aimlessly. The old man who had stepped into this place only told them that the fruit of Fire Tribulation should appear in this denser forest with higher temperatures.
"Did you hear any sounds like a monster sticking out your tongue?" asked a bronze-skinned officer.
"Don't be suspicious. How can there be any demons here with such high temperature?" said the female officer walking at the back of the team.
Her forehead was already steamed by the rising sun. It was just morning. At noon or afternoon, there would be a stove that could burn people to death.
"Yezi, do you still have water? Give me a sip first...Yezi?"
The bronze-skinned officer walking in front turned his head, but found that there was nothing behind him!
He lowered his head and suddenly found traces of being dragged on the fallen leaves all over the ground. His face changed suddenly and he hurriedly reported to the team members in front.
"Sir Nan Jue, the leaves in charge of the rear guard are gone." The bronze-skinned officer said panic.
Nan Jue raised his hand and made a gesture of stopping the whole team. Her eyes scanned the quiet forest.
"Let's go back and find her, she may be behind."
Nan Jue shook his head. Those who would be selected into the team are all elites from the Dunhuang Military Region. They are not only outstanding in strength, but also obey military orders. There is no reason to leave the team without saying a word.
"Not good, Xu Dong is gone. He should have explored the way for us just now." Another officer hurriedly ran to report.
Nan Jue's face changed and he immediately said to everyone in the team: "The number of enemies is probably quite large, so let's leave here as soon as possible!"
"Aren't we going to save Ye Zi anymore? How can we leave our companions behind?" said the bronze-skinned officer.
"If you want to die here, then you can continue to find Ye Zi's body!" Nan Jue seemed cold and ruthless.
When the order was issued, the group immediately chose to leave this too dense forest.
However, in the process of rushing action, several more people disappeared mysteriously one after another.
At this time, everyone realized how terrible this forest was. The distance between each of their entire team was only a few meters. The people who suddenly disappeared disappeared in an instant, without making any screams, and there was no blood there. The only thing left was the drag marks of falling leaves all over the ground!
Nan Jue is a very powerful mage. When the team members were in danger of their lives, he himself did not notice the aura of demons nearby. This may indicate that the creature's strength is far above them.
Nan Jue told the team members this inference, and everyone was even more frightened, but the bronze-skinned officer said in confusion: "Since its strength is far greater than us, why do you have to kill us one by one instead of killing us all in one breath?"
"It should be that it is enjoying the torture of cats and mice. If we were still there just now, it would kill us one by one." Nan Jue said very affirmatively.
"What the hell is this? I think we were killed by all the demons lurking in this fire cloud forest before we found the fruit of Fire Tribulation."
...
The leaves of the Fire Cloud Tree prefer the vicious sunlight, including the heat in the air, they will absorb into nutrients for the entire tree. The sunlight and heat that each leaf can absorb is limited. Their lifespan will end in about seven days, and new Fire Cloud Tree leaves will replace them. So this flat-top mountain is covered with these fire mangrove leaves like maple leaves, turning into bright red carpets. Walking on it, you can feel the high temperature and softness that are different from the usual land.
When Mo Fan stepped into this Fire Cloud Forest, he felt a little regretful. This forest was simply a maze. Each tree looked exactly the same, even the same size. The fiery red leaves everywhere made people unable to distinguish the direction. At present, Mo Fan could not find the cave that could lead to the inside of the mountain.
When you are tired of walking, sit down and rest for a while. Don’t wonder whether to return to the Fire Witch and let her take the time to lead the way for her, so it’s better than wandering around the forest aimlessly.
As soon as he got up, Mo Fan suddenly felt that his hands were a little sticky. When he picked them up, he suddenly found that his hands were covered with bright red liquid. He put them on the tip of his nose and sniffed them. Mo Fan's face changed suddenly.
It's blood, it seems to be human blood!
Mo Fan hurriedly lowered his head and looked at the leaf cushion he was sitting on. Then he found that the fire leaves in this area were more bright in color, and at first glance it would be confused with the radiant fiery red color. Unexpectedly, there was already a stunning pool of blood here!
Mo Fan searched around and found a broken bloody hand between a thick leaf. Judging from the bones of the hand, it seemed that he was still a woman.
Mo Fan was used to seeing corpses. He found that the woman had died not long ago. While thinking about whether another wizard had arrived here, he found other parts of her body from under the leaves.
After finally finding something that looked like a medal, Mo Fan then confirmed the identity of this woman, a military mage.
"This forest is not only as difficult as a maze, but also has many human-eating demons living in it. I hope Xinxia and the others have not yet entered here, otherwise it will be in danger." Mo Fan buried the corpse.
Burying corpses is a moral that all hunters will abide by. Hunters who often go through life and death often do not know when they are going to be killed by demons when they are executed, and exposed to the wilderness of the corpse. Therefore, when they see the corpse of their peers, they do not care about this little effort and put them in peace. This is a guarantee for their future ending that day.
It is a ridiculous guarantee, but it also shows that every mage who becomes a hunter is ready to die at any time.
...
Others may have the idea of seizing the fruit of Fire Tribulation, but Mo Fan was not very interested. On the one hand, the flame witch who guarded the fruit of Fire Tribulation was powerful and robbed would be to die. On the other hand, someone saved his life and would not turn against each other.
Now he just wants to find Xinxia and the others as soon as possible, bring some local specialties from Zhuoyuan, go back to Shanghai to sell for money, change to a good magic tool, and then go back to the grandsons who are asking for trouble for themselves all day long like a tyrant school. This trip is worth it!!
