Thumb Mountain or it would be more appropriate to call it the Lost Forest. It has been more than five years since Yu Sheng caused the spiritual vein to explode.
In just over five years, tens of thousands of humans have died in this forest.
However, for the sake of the treasures, countless people still come to die.
However, as the spirit circle stabilized, the radiation effect of the spirit vein began to take effect, directly resulting in a small amount of spiritual power even outside the spirit circle.
This also led to a consequence, creatures that were not capable of living in the spirit circle began to spread outward. Currently, the area within a radius of 200 kilometers around Thumb Mountain has been listed as a danger zone.
Ordinary people had already moved to new places, but some stubborn people were unwilling to move and almost all became food for wild beasts.
It is definitely a failure for humans, but it is a rare success for other ethnic groups.
According to incomplete statistics, in just over five years, the Lost Forest has given birth to at least tens of thousands of new species, and several of them can be called successful.
The most successful of them are the bee people, a peculiar race whose appearances vary greatly, but they all have one thing in common: a pair of bee wings.
Things did not develop according to Yu Sheng's plan. After devouring a large number of humans, the bee people did not give birth to humanoids, but instead gave birth to a queen with extremely strong reproductive and life transformation abilities.
The number of beemen was not large, and including the miscellaneous soldiers, there were only about 2,000 of them. However, these 2,000 beemen had become a major concern for humans.
Their appearance is more perfect than that of humans. Every beeman is born with the ability to fly at high speeds. Their beast-like bodies and intelligence that is no less than that of humans give them combat power far beyond that of humans.
Although humans organized several punitive forces and successfully killed many bee people, their own casualties were also very heavy.
The strength of the beeman captain is very powerful, slightly stronger than the one Yu Sheng killed before. Humans need to be at least a cultivator in the Jindan stage to fight him head-on.
Moreover, bee people are born with some animal characteristics and often have strange moves. A battle with incomplete intelligence and an unfavorable environment would be a disaster for humans.
"It's completely different now! This place doesn't look like modern society at all!" Yu Sheng walked in the Lost Fortress, the first line of defense in the Lost Forest.
It's the same as any other city, but there aren't many restaurants and clothing stores here. Most of the stores here are shopping malls, and everyone on the street is carrying weapons.
You should know that in China, carrying a knife is a controlled item, but this rule is obviously not applicable here. Carrying a machine gun is considered polite, and some even carry a rocket launcher on the road.
However, the order here is generally good. After all, no one here seems to be a weakling, which leads to no one daring to cause trouble easily.
Forming a rather distorted 'balance of terror'.
There are many purchasing shops on the streets, and many people go into the shops to sell items.
There are stones, herbs, wild animals and everything else. This is simply a treasure land where every inch of land is worth a lot of money. It is definitely a good place for people who are in urgent need of money.
The only downside is that it's too dangerous.
"This is it! The Heart-Blocking House!" Cai Lian took the map and walked to a store.
However, in front of this store, there were many beautiful women standing, wearing light makeup and showing off their looks.
"Handsome guy, come in and have a chat! You're a grown man, are you afraid that we'll eat you?"
"Long time no see, isn't this Brother Li? We have recently launched a new service. Would you like to try it?"
"Hate it. There is always a first time in life. If there is a first time, there will be a second time. If there is a second time, there will be a third time."
Each beautiful girl showed her most beautiful side. From time to time, a young man would be pulled out, and from time to time, another one would come out contentedly, tidying up her clothes.
Crack! Cai Lian clenched her fists, her face looking a little ugly. She said to Yu Sheng repeatedly, "Master, I'm sorry. Sister must not be talking about this place. Maybe there is another place called the Heart-Stirring House nearby, it must be a duplicate name. I'll go look for it."
Seeing Cailian so nervous, Yu Sheng put a hand on her shoulder, shook his head and said, "No need, this place is fine. We should be in the right place."
"Very good!" Cai Lian was slightly stunned, looking at Yu Sheng in disbelief. She didn't expect Yu Sheng to like such a place. Although she knew that she would be Yu Sheng's person sooner or later, she didn't expect Ma Caijie to be so impatient and well prepared, even catching her sister off guard.
The two walked into the Enchanted Heart House, and saw a welcoming team of six beauties saying respectfully, "Welcome!"
Only when you walk in do you realize that this confusing house looks much bigger inside than from the outside.
Many people were sitting in the lobby drinking and chatting, with a beautiful woman standing next to them to serve them. The whole Mi Xin House had two floors, but both floors only sold wine and meat.
"This..." Cai Lian looked at everything in front of her in disbelief. This was the legendary "selling dog meat under the guise of selling mutton".
The House of Bewilderment is not a brothel, but the most famous food destination in the Lost Fortress.
Anyone who comes to the Lost Fortress must not miss it, and those beauties standing outside the door are not prostitutes, but serious dinner companions.
It is said that food is human nature. With both beautiful women and delicious food, how many people can resist these temptations
Not only that, these beauties actually have one greatest function, which is that they all have some skills. There are private rooms upstairs. If you just want someone to accompany you for a meal, you can go downstairs. If you want to watch dancing, singing or something, you must go to a private room.
But the rule here is that you can only sell your art but not your body, so you can only watch but not touch.
However, even so, for these people who are walking on the line between life and death, it is very satisfying. Different from the nature of the work in the red-light district where you just take off your pants and count the money, every girl here not only has talents but also provides confidants and psychological counseling. They can always say what you want.
If one is selling physical pleasure, then here is selling spiritual pleasure.
Seeing that Yu Sheng came in with a man and a woman, these girls were tactful and did not come over to ask questions. It was obvious that Yu Sheng was not someone who came to provide spiritual comfort.
When I walked to a table, I saw a high-class waitress who looked like a model coming over. She held a menu in her hand and said, "Sir, what do you need?"
The dishes here are different every day because all the ingredients come from the Lost Forest and no one knows what kind of prey they will get today.
So the dishes are different every day, and the menu only has raw materials. Based on the raw materials ordered, the kitchen will make the finished dishes according to your mood and the taste you choose.
Picking up the menu, Yu Sheng looked at the creatures on it. Many of them were things he had never seen before, and he didn't know whether they tasted good or not.
"Nine-headed Lion, Bullet Bird King, and Imperial Turkey, these are the three dishes we'll order! Spicy and sour tastes are best, and there's nothing to be restricted by." Yu Sheng said, looking at the menu.
"Okay, please wait!" The waiter took the menu and quickly went to the kitchen to place the order. He was well-trained and very professional, and was very pleasing to the eye.
