Tianyang turned around and looked at the blue-haired boy with a questioning look.
Kun Lan struggled to get up: "I want to go too. I want to settle accounts with those things."
Tianyang said "oh" and nodded gently. Suddenly, his figure became blurry, and when it became clear again, he appeared on Kunlan's left side. He kicked, an attack that he could easily avoid at ordinary times, but at this moment, Kunlan didn't even react and was kicked to the ground by Tianyang.
Kun Lan raised his head and said angrily, "What are you doing, you bastard!"
Tianyang spread his hands: "Don't you know what I'm doing?"
Kun Lan was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Are you trying to say that I'm too badly injured now and can't even dodge your kick, so I shouldn't follow you in, lest I become a burden to you?"
Tian Yang showed his white teeth: "The first part is correct, but forget about the second part, I didn't mean that."
Kunlan pointed at him and said, "That's what you meant! Ugh..."
The blue-haired boy's expression changed after he got angry and felt his wound. He took a breath and then recovered.
Tian Yang squatted down, pressed his shoulder and said: "You just rest here, and catch up after your injuries recover. Otherwise, in your current state, you can only watch my performance from the side. If so, I would be too bullying."
Kun Lan snorted and slapped his hand away: "Who knows who's here to watch the show, but I just fought and I've used up a lot of energy, so I'll let you go first."
Tianyang looked around: "Can you take care of yourself?"
Kun Lan was like a cat whose tail had been bitten, and he shouted, "Get out of here! Don't get in the way!"
Tianyang chuckled dryly, calmed down, and walked towards the passage. After a moment, Kunlan could no longer see him.
The blue-haired boy climbed up with his arms, staggered to the corner, sat down, took out a bottle of replenishing liquid from his waist bag and drank it. He then took out a high-energy food, tore off the outer packaging, and took a big bite: "Just wait and see, I will recover soon. You white-haired guy, you dare to treat me as a burden, then I will make you cry and apologize to me!"
"Ouch..."
Kunlan bit down on the food stick so hard that he bit his tongue...
silence...
In the absolute silence, Tianyang could clearly hear his own soft footsteps, which spread far and wide in the corridor of the base. He threw away an empty bottle, the supplement liquid in it had been drunk by him.
The star energy consumed in the processing plant was now slowly recovering, and in a short while, 20% of it had been restored.
Tianyang transformed these two parts of star essence into star essence bullets for the Death Knell, which were stored in the bullet crystal slot on the gun.
Not far ahead is the Forest of Resentment. Intelligence shows that this forest is the habitat of the giant tree of resentment and also its lair.
Not long ago, it seemed that this forest was still located in the upper base. After the situation became bad, the giant tree of resentment and the entire forest moved here and retreated deep into the lower base.
Now, the criminals in the base are relying on this forest to launch the final battle with humans!
Tianyang didn’t know how big the forest was, but the intelligence mentioned that the scope of the Resentment Forest was not fixed and it could expand or shrink as needed.
After entering the forest, the Ascendant's star energy will be suppressed invisibly, and the overall combat power will drop by 10% to 20%. This is why the black people retreat into the forest.
Because as long as they enter the forest, the sublimators will be weakened. Although the sublimators can absorb the star essence spray or directly inject the star essence stimulant to increase the activity of the star essence, thus keeping the combat power intact for a short time.
However, this method could not last forever. Moreover, the influence of Xing Yun's restriction was more obvious with lower ranks, so the families were required to stay outside the forest to intercept the black people instead of letting them enter the forest to provide support.
After walking for a while, Tianyang stepped out and suddenly felt something strange. Looking down, he found that there was a layer of anti-world fungi under his feet. Stepping on it was like stepping on a ball of cotton, soft and light, as if he would sink into it at any time.
Tianyang frowned, drew out the Red Moon, and the blade of the sword lit up with a crimson streak, and the temperature in the air immediately rose. The young man pointed the sword downward, and the tip of the sword was still ten centimeters away from the fungus, but the fungus began to boil. Tianyang seemed to hear a dense hissing, and then saw the fungus began to retreat to both sides, leaving a "passage" for the young man.
From here, it was already the range of the Resentful Forest. Tian Yang walked in carefully. After walking for a while, he felt a dull feeling, although the fungus was emitting blue light, illuminating the way ahead. But in Tian Yang's sight, the scenery was sometimes clear and sometimes blurry.
After repeating this several times, Tianyang was already a little dizzy. He shook his head, and the aura of the stars appeared. His vision immediately became much clearer, and his breathing became smoother.
Just like he entered an invisible bubble just now, now he tore a hole in the bubble.
Tianyang frowned, thinking that the Resentment Forest was even more dangerous than the intelligence said. He was still at the edge of the forest, and he was suppressed like this. If he was in the center of the forest, the suppression would be even greater.
The young man prayed silently for Yunze. He was caught and taken into the forest, and he was afraid that he would be in great danger.
As we walked further, we saw more and more fungi. They were no longer satisfied with the ground and began to extend to the walls and ceiling. The entire passage was like the cavity of some giant creature, covered with dense and protruding fungi. Especially since these things could move, they looked extremely disgusting.
Soon, Tianyang saw the plants.
Vampire tree!
Just like what we saw in the upper base, black trees with twisted branches and sharp tips, with metallic reflections. They are scattered in the passages, tightly surrounded by fungi. They are quiet but bloodthirsty guards. Once a living thing approaches them, it will be strangled to death with its blade-like branches.
Soon, Tianyang saw a corpse. The body of the sublimator was lying next to the blood-sucking tree. A bunch of branches of the blood-sucking tree were piercing the corpse, and a blood line on the black branches was dazzling red.
Tianyang walked around the blood-sucking tree and walked a little further. There was an open space in front of him. Not only was there a colony of fungi everywhere, but the number of blood-sucking trees had increased, which made it more difficult to pass through.
As the boy was observing his surroundings, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure from the corner of his eye. Tianyang's skin immediately tensed up, and he looked towards the figure. The figure was next to a blood-sucking tree, and looked like a person hiding behind the tree.
But this "person" was very tall, over two meters, with a hunched and twisted body.
Tianyang communicated with the black fog, and his senses flowed forward quietly like a stream of water, overflowing the fungus, passing the vampire tree, and approaching the human figure.
During this process, Tianyang felt that his perception was obviously not as sensitive as outside the forest. Even with the ability of dark resonance, his perception was still suppressed in some way.
This puzzled Tian Yang. Could it be that the forest was suppressing more than just Xing Yun
Even the power of the dark side was suppressed? This was a bit unbelievable, but now, Tianyang had no time to care. He pushed his perception and used several times more concentration than usual to make the line of perception reach the figure smoothly.
It was indeed a person, with a sad face, his hands tightly hugging himself, his body slightly curled up. Just the model constructed by the black fog made Tianyang feel a heavy sadness.
Suddenly, the boy even thought of his own mother. Did she also cry like this in the dark night
Tianyang shook his head violently, alert in his heart, as if something had affected his mood. When he looked at the "person" in front of him again, Tianyang felt a chill all over his body.
This sad person has a lifelike expression. Although he is motionless, he conveys a heavy sense of pain to the viewer, stirring up the deepest sadness in everyone's heart.
But this person is a plant, a plant that looks almost human. Its human-like outline, expression, and even every texture on its body are formed by vines or branches piled together.
It seems natural, yet also seems intentionally shaped, and there are actually quite a few "people" like this here.
Moreover, their expressions and movements are all different.
Among them there was a 'person' with an expression full of resentment. Even though one knew that he was not a living being, one could still feel the resentment rising from him.
Tianyang suddenly understood why this forest was named Resentment.
These human-like creatures vividly express the dark emotions of human beings. So weird! So scary!
After a while, Tian Yang planned a route that bypassed those strange "people" and would not approach any blood-sucking trees. Moreover, Tian Yang had scanned the area and found no fungus people, so the threat factor was not high.
The only thing is that he hasn't found any trace of Yunze yet, which makes him very worried.
At this point, the only way to find Yunze is to go deeper.
Taking a breath, Tianyang gathered the black fog, disguised himself as a part of the world, and sneaked silently. After walking for a while, the boy suddenly felt something strange, as if there were a pair of eyes watching him in the empty space.
However, in the model constructed by the black fog, Tianyang could not see any suspicious creatures at all.
This feeling of being watched became more obvious as they went deeper, and when Tianyang passed by a humanoid plant, the black fog almost screamed.
Tian Yang suddenly looked at the humanoid plant. The plant showed human anger. It looked like a very angry man. On that face, his eyes were glaring. Anyone who looked into those eyes would feel a rage as fierce as a volcanic eruption.
But in these eyes, Tianyang also felt something else.
Sight!
Just as this thought came to mind, the eyeballs on the human face rolled over, revealing a pair of eyes that only living things have. The pupils were round, dark, and bright like gemstones. Surrounding them was a circle of white eyes covered with red threads.
Snap!
The plant suddenly split open, revealing a huge cavity. Around the cavity, there were everted wood teeth, and inside, one could actually see the throbbing internal organs of a living thing, thick blood vessels, and dark purple nerves.
It was a strange thing that made it hard to tell whether it was a living thing or a plant. A bunch of arthropod-like tentacles burst out from the cavity. The surface of these tentacles was covered with a layer of sticky sap. When they flew, the sap splashed everywhere, and there was a sweet smell in the air...
