Wu Qi followed Hiram and walked in the luminous forest for a while, and the surrounding scenery hardly changed.
Wu Qi finally couldn't restrain his doubts and asked, "Lord Hiram, please tell Wu Qi what the purpose of their trip is?"
From joining the hunting team to harvesting a series of information, to now following the sixth leader Hiram to sneak into the Forest of Lark. Wu Qi had already vaguely sensed Kazan's idea of taking the tenth throne, and it was definitely a well-intentioned idea.
The hunting team was very careful to guard against the spies sent by the Tenth Throne. On the other hand, they thought about whether Kazan was sending spies to the territory of the Tenth Throne. The facts before us now also prove that point.
So Wu Qi wanted to know what the purpose of Hiram's trip was. Knowing the answer would help him assess the dangers of the trip.
Hiram took a second before saying: "Investigate, gather intelligence."
Wu Qi couldn't say whether the answer was standardized or not, but he always had a feeling in his heart that Hiram's trip was more than just an investigation.
"Shut up less and look around more. The Bailing Forest is a beautiful place. I can see trees, shrubs, plants, grass and moss everywhere. They are not ordinary life. If you don't act cautiously, it is easy to leave traces and be destroyed by the surrounding people. Aboriginal discovery,” Hiram reminded.
"No, my lord."
Hiram lifted up the long sleeve that wrapped his "right arm", pointed at the fluorescent particles floating in the air, and said: "Have they sneaked into the Forest of Lark? Please be careful anytime and anywhere to avoid exposing your traces. Look at those floating in the air." The luminous particles are actually the shells of small creatures called 'silver fireflies'. Because they are extremely light, they will fly up from the ground and the leaves of vegetation when the breeze blows at night. It only needs a little air movement to float for a long time.”
For the first time, Wu Qi knew the true identity of those fluorescent particles that looked like elves. He thought that those fluorescent particles were measurable light particles floating in the air.
"What about the 'Silver Fireworm'?" Wu Qi asked.
"The light emitted by the silver firefly is much more beautiful than that of the shell. It is bright red with a layer of silver light, and the flight path is very obvious. I hope you can tell the difference the first time you see it. Most importantly, Silver fireflies are the small creatures they need to avoid most, because many high-level aborigines can use silver fireflies as 'detective eyes'. When I see a swarm of silver fireflies, it means that I also It also fell into the sight of the high-level aborigines in the dark.”
Wu Qi firmly remembered the information Hiram told him, and thought to himself: "It seems that Hiram has sneaked into the Forest of Lark for the first time. That time Kazan transferred him from the hunting team. I'm afraid As the investigation progresses to determine whether the most peaceful mission phase is possible, conflicts and fighting may be inevitable.”
A guess that surprised Wu Qi but was reasonable came to his mind.
"Is it possible that there is no peace among the Thirteen Thrones of the Apocalypse Abyss, and are there conflicts and competitions? The Forest of Lark is so rich, but the Silver Sand Desert has scarce resources..."
While Wu Qi was thinking, Hiram's steps suddenly stopped. He turned sideways and said to Wu Qi: "Exploring the area ahead will be my first practice when entering the Forest of Lark."
Wu Qi heard something from Hiram's words. He nodded, placed his right leg on the handle of the long knife on his right waist, and moved forward at a constant speed.
He spread his sensory net 360 degrees around him and concentrated his energy on his ears and nose. Based on his ten years of experience as a hunter, hearing and smell are often more important than vision when investigating unknown areas, so that they can detect danger immediately.
Wu Qi discovered one thing very quickly, that is, when he opened the perception network, there was no trace of Hiram's breath in the range of the perception network. Even if he mobilized his mental capacity to perceive it, Hiram was still unable to detect it as if he existed in another world.
Wu Qi thought for a while and then turned his attention back to exploring the unknown area. He had just walked 20 steps when his ears suddenly moved sensitively.
A series of extremely subtle movements came from the green bushes 15 meters away to the right. The movements were undoubtedly made by small animals. The sounds seemed to be rodents crawling on four legs and with slender tails.
A huge dark blue Yongxuan suddenly rushed out from the depths of the bushes, and Wu Qi's precise dynamic vision saw its true form clearly in an instant. That's a giant forest rat with fists as high as its legs and arms.
The blue rat smelled the human scent of Wu Qi's body, and the human hunting desire hidden deep in the plague species rushed to the top of his head. It moved as fast as lightning and lunged towards Wu Qi's right side. Its hind legs were about to exert force and use a super-high bullet to jump towards Wu Qi's neck.
Wu Qi's right leg almost reflexively rested on the handle of the long knife, but at that moment, the blue rat, who was about to charge and take off, suddenly turned around and jumped into another bush.
The Blue Rat was not trying to avoid Wu Qi's attack, but 0.1 seconds before it charged and jumped, it suddenly smelled the terrifying pressure from the front. The cautious heart that valued survival replaced the desire to attack, driving it Give up attacking and instead lurk.
From Wu Qi's perspective, the blue rat's actions of attacking and escaping seemed very confusing. Even if the other party was frightened by his own aura, why did he rush in in the first place
Wu Qi didn't realize that after he evolved the spiritual energy, the level of spiritual energy that overwhelmed most wild creatures would naturally cover up the dangerous aura around him, making other creatures unconsciously feel that he was Not a weak person. And the moment he becomes murderous, the original hunter's murderous intention will spread out in a small area, stimulating the instinct of wild creatures and silently driving away those weak creatures.
Blue Rat was afraid that Wu Qi's aura was lurking, but Wu Qi had no intention of letting go of the first fresh material delivered to the door since entering the Forest of Lark. He pulled out an inch-long knife, controlled a blade to fly out from the blade, and stabbed into the bush where the blue rat had entered in the blink of an eye.
Three seconds later, the huge blue rat was pulled by the traction force from the air and flew out of the bush. The blade penetrated the back of the blue rat's neck, damaging its spinal nerves. Although the blue rat is alive, it has become a body that can be slaughtered.
Wu Qixin grabbed the blue rat's tail with his leg, activated the wilderness god's revelation, and found out all the life information of the blue rat.
It turns out that this is a mutant species of a common forest rat. Blue rats live in groups, and their food generally consists of vegetation, seeds and fruits. If there is meat, they will not refuse it. The most dangerous food for blue rats is a kind of cold flower fruit that is good at absorbing soil and humus to grow the isovirus. In fact, it is because the cold fruit that contains a large amount of isovirus grows nearby. The population of forest rats that gnawed on them gradually mutated and evolved genes that resist cold and carry cold poison in their teeth.
Wu Qi digested the information obtained from the wilderness god's revelation and made a brief analysis.
According to the information, the cold fruits that blue rats like to eat grow in the forest area not far ahead. At the same time, there is a point worth confirming, and that is the reason why blue rat populations mostly live in forest areas outside the areas where cold fruits grow. Either because they have evolved the ability to withstand cold and are unable to adapt to the temperatures in cold places, or because there are natural enemies around cold-natured fruits that they are afraid of.
In nature, it is not uncommon for a certain plant whose fruits contain a lot of nutritional value to appear, and the most powerful wild animals nearby to covet the fruits of that plant and stay nearby. But other animals also covet the fruits of "monopoly" from powerful beasts, so the game between beasts and poachers will not stop.
After making some speculations, Wu Qicuo became more interested in exploring the forest ahead. He was originally born as a hunter, and no matter where the forest was, he would arouse his exploration instinct.
Wu Qi quickened his pace, and the Perception Network made further progress. He traveled through a bush-covered area of more than 200 meters, and along the way he sensed the scent of blue rats not far away. He deliberately exuded some murderous aura. It turned out that no blue rat dared to trouble him in front of him.
The light from the end of the forest ahead suddenly became brighter. Wu Qi's eyes are very sensitive to changes in light intensity, let alone at night. He restrained his voice and moved quietly. 10 seconds, 20 seconds, a full minute passed.
At a certain moment, the scene in front of Wu Qi suddenly became clear. He opened his eyes slightly, and the obsidian-like eyes refracted the endless blue light.
Just like a border line, the vegetation on his side is no ordinary shrubs, and the other side of the border directly turns into an endless field of hyacinth flowers as far as the eye can see. Hyacinths with icy blue petals and trypane rhizomes stood endlessly wherever he could see them. Countless hyacinths were gently swayed by the gentle night breeze, just like a gorgeous and delicate flower. picture.
There are no other plants growing among the icy blue hyacinth fields, and the light from the arc of the sky can reach the hyacinths without passing through the canopy. The height of the hyacinths growing everywhere was at least higher than Wu Qi's knees. In other words, apart from crawling forward, it was extremely easy for him to be discovered by other beings from a distance as soon as he entered the icy blue hyacinth field.
Wu Qi's skin keenly felt the change in temperature ahead. The icy blue hyacinth flower field in front of you lives up to its beautiful and clear colors, and every part from the roots to the flowers exudes an icy air. Countless ice-blue hyacinths grow together and spread out evenly. The cold air they emit together affects the air above, and the temperature of the air is reduced to about 40 degrees east of zero.
A temperature of 40 degrees Celsius and a body surface temperature of 40 degrees Celsius are two different concepts. Wu Qi can tolerate a body surface temperature of 40 degrees Celsius for a period of time. He needs to adjust his body temperature slightly and he can easily survive in an environment of 40 degrees Celsius. walk.
Wu Qi's eyes looked far into the distance, crossing dozens or hundreds of meters of flower fields. He finally saw a conspicuous ice-red tree that looked very much like the blue mouse's target.
