However, this place is the inland of the Wu Alliance after all. Zuo Xiaoduo is neither as knowledgeable as Li Chenglong, nor as familiar with the geography of various places as Fang Yinuo. He is eager to escape and gradually becomes panic-stricken.
Although Xiaolong was investigating, it was the first time for Xiaolong to see this kind of tropical vegetation and he did not understand the danger at all.
The vegetation in front of me is just the beginning of this mountain range, and its colors are bright and seem a little abnormal. However, there is no way to go now, so I can only choose to cross it...
After all, this is the most distance-saving method and direction.
“Never mind, this place... is really a good place. Apart from anything else, it’s easy to hide, which is a great advantage. I can also take a breath..." Zuo Xiaoduo was excited to see the prey, and rushed in without thinking.
The Chiyang Mountains have always been the hottest place in the three continents, and are also known as the Flaming Mountains.
The temperature in the core area of this place is extremely high, flames are rising, and almost no plants can survive.
However, the vegetation in the surrounding areas is incredibly lush and dense. Any weed can grow to more than ten meters high. Large trees that require several or even dozens of people to hug can be seen everywhere.
Such a vast area not only contains countless natural treasures, but also many poisonous insects and ferocious beasts.
The perennially hot climate has bred too many unknown poisonous creatures, and has also created too many dangerous places; some of these places may seem harmless at first glance, but once adventurers enter, only one in a hundred can survive.
The Chiyang Mountains, in addition to being famous for its year-round hot climate, is also a paradise for adventurers from the Wu Alliance... and a place of death!
Every year, every day, countless adventurers die silently here, and countless adventurers make a fortune here.
Just because here, everywhere you look, there are opportunities to make a fortune.
The opportunity to make a fortune mentioned here does not only refer to the extremely difficult-to-obtain natural treasures required by warriors. For example, if you go deeper into this place, you can see many trees everywhere. After being transported out and polished into beads, they will become the most popular cultural playthings among ordinary people in the Witch Alliance Continent: after playing with them for a period of time, they will take on the color of the starry sky.
Playing with it in your hands is like playing with the entire universe. As you turn it, the starlight is brilliant, deep, flickering and mysterious. Even at night, when you can't see your hand in front of you, there are stars blinking constantly, which is really full of the texture of the starry sky.
And the longer you play with it, the more it emits a strange fragrance.
The older the tree is, the more valuable it becomes. Because of this characteristic, it is named the Starry Sky Tree!
Even warriors like to play with this kind of tree.
But when it comes to really cutting down this kind of tree, even a warrior who can transform into a cloud and control the gods has to risk his life; this is because there are unimaginable dangers everywhere, both above and below the tree and under the ground.
Under any dead leaf, there may be a large number of poisonous insects hiding. These poisonous insects are accustomed to staying near the Starry Sky Tree. They have the characteristic of ignoring any spiritual defense under the sky. Once they bite into the flesh, even a divine warrior may not be able to survive more than half an hour and it is impossible to cure them.
But to be honest, this Chiyang Mountain Range has always been a playground for the Great Fire Wizard and the Great Non-Poison Wizard, who would come here to wander around from time to time.
The reason why they only come here occasionally is because the two great witches don’t dare to live here for a long time. You can imagine how dangerous it is! !
After experiencing countless battles, Zuo Xiaoduo finally and inevitably approached this area. He was chased so hard that there was hardly any place to hide, so he simply rushed in without even thinking about it.
But they had no idea that this was the Wu Alliance's forbidden zone!
Seeing Zuo Xiaoduo rushing into the colorful forest, many of the Witch Alliance warriors who were chasing him, eager for merit, followed him in, but more people stopped at the same time.
You are facing a life-threatening situation. Do you really want to risk your life
Anyone who is knowledgeable and interested has always been wary of this forbidden zone of life in the Wu Alliance.
If he died in the battle with Zuo Xiaoduo, at the very least, he would be considered a hero, sacrificing his life for the future of the Wu Alliance. He would be rewarded, and it would also be good for his descendants and family.
If he could capture or kill Zuo Xiaoduo with his own hands, it would be a great achievement.
But if you die inexplicably at the hands of a poisonous insect, you will not be treated like this.
Although most of the warriors of the Witch Alliance are physically strong and do not think too much, they are fearless in their daily lives and are ready to die when facing foreign enemies, but deep down they are still unwilling to die in such a most worthless way.
They are all advanced practitioners. They have cultivated to the current level of cultivation. How could they have achieved this for free? !
Therefore, many warriors who came here spontaneously either chose to go back or take a detour to the other side of the Chiyang Mountains to ambush and wait.
If he returns now, even if he gets nothing, at least he will escape safely. He will reach the other side with full of hope. What if Zuo Xiaoduo is really lucky and breaks through this forbidden zone of life? Maybe he will be picked up by himself on the other side!
In the perception of these people, this forbidden zone of life, the Mountains of Death, is much more terrifying to them than Zuo Xiaoduo.
Even if Zuo Xiaoduo died in there, we can just treat it as a trip. Even if it gives us some more experience, it won't do any harm.
Compared to these martial artists who valued their lives more, quite a few people decided to follow in after some consideration: What if Zuo Xiaoduo was poisoned in there, and they could just cut off his head and claim credit for it
This kind of bargain must not be missed.
Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk, and opportunities and risks coexist. Is this just talk
Apart from the scattered martial artists, the first team of 300 people led by Master Burning Body rushed in without thinking.
Then, another group of troops, after carrying many self-defense items, carefully poured into the Chiyang Mountains.
From all directions and in all directions, fifty or sixty thousand people poured in during just one meal.
It has been hundreds of thousands of years since this place was called the Forbidden Zone of Life and the Mountains of Death. This is the first time that so many people have flocked in!
Moreover, the number of people entering is increasing rapidly.
Flutter...
Countless faint ripples in the Chiyang Mountains gradually spread out.
Countless tiny poisonous insects that had been dormant were disturbed and began to retreat into the depths of the jungle.
The poisonous insects hiding in the Chiyang Mountains are indeed extremely venomous, but due to their tiny size, if they bite a human body, the person will surely die. At this time of commotion and noise, the instinct of creatures to seek good fortune and avoid danger has responded, and they have sought more secluded places to live.
Perhaps it was because of this that a large number of people pouring into the Witch Alliance were rarely bitten by the poisonous insects in the first place.
At this moment, Zuo Xiaoduo was running quickly inside with heat rising from his body.
As soon as he entered the Chiyang Mountains, he discovered something was wrong—he rushed to a clear-looking stream, and just as he was about to wash his face and hands to relieve his fatigue, he was shocked to find that the bottom of the clear river was covered with white bones...
Moreover, these bones show signs of slowly dissolving bit by bit. Although the process is slow, it can be seen with the naked eye.
Zuo Xiaoduo was immediately horrified and frightened. After carefully looking at the clear river water in front of him, he was shocked to find that the river was full of tiny insects of the same color as the water. If Zuo Xiaoduo had not already known that the river water was different, it would have been difficult to detect them at all.
There were rustling sounds all around, and the disturbed poisonous insects began to flee in panic.
With a "plop" sound, a python as thick as a bucket, covered with hard scales all over its body and with a red horn on its head, jumped straight into the water, apparently intending to swim to the other side.
But at the moment it jumped into the river, there was a miserable howl, and without any sound, the python rolled over and over with unprecedented violence. Zuo Xiaoduo clearly saw that at that moment... the moment the python jumped into the river... no, even when the python's body was still in mid-air, countless silk threads had already begun to rush out of the water, and instantly wrapped around the python's body like water vapor.
When the python really entered the water, the scales on its body could no longer protect it, its flesh and blood began to fall off, and the river water was instantly dyed red.
However, another tiny thing surged over, and within just five breaths, not only did the python disappear, but even the river surface that was stained red with blood was quickly regaining its clarity. The water surface gradually returned to calm, and there was only a white skeleton lying at the bottom of the water, which was still slowly decomposing, gradually eliminating the last trace.
Zuo Xiaoduo, who witnessed this scene, felt his scalp tingling and his eyes almost popped out. What kind of poisonous insect was inside? How could it be so weird that a python weighing over a thousand kilograms could devour the skin, flesh, and even blood in less than an hour
Zuo Xiaoduo was still surprised and shocked when he suddenly felt some movement under his feet, as if there was something in the soil. He lifted his foot to take a look and was frightened again.
I saw two ant-like things like cones coming out from where I was standing just now. Half of their bodies were exposed. I looked at my animal skin boots and found that they had been drilled with seven or eight holes...
"What the hell!"
Zuo Xiaoduo was startled and quickly activated his body energy. He stood in the air and dared not step on the ground. He looked around and looked at the dense jungle in front of him, hoping to find a more secret place to live. But after a closer look, he was surprised to find that there was a faint glow flowing on the huge leaves of many trees. After a closer look, he found that they were layers of tiny insects rolling around on the leaves, just like a formation of troops. He couldn't help but be shocked and frightened...
Zuo Xiaoduo became more and more horrified. He looked at the ground again and saw some dead leaves near where he had just stood. He urged his true Qi to flip them through the air and saw thousands of flying insects suddenly rise from the layer close to the ground.
Zuo Xiaoduo didn't dare to stay any longer, and didn't care about being exposed. He used all his strength to practice the Yan Yang Sutra. A wave of extremely hot heat surged wildly, instantly burning all those disgusting little creatures that had suddenly jumped up!
In an instant, the air was filled with a burning smell.
“It’s too dangerous… This is just the beginning.”
"What a lousy place!"
Zuo Xiaoduo gritted his teeth and wanted to turn around and go out, but he estimated that he would run into a large army that was hunting him, and he would definitely be surrounded and die.
Although this place is full of dangers, there is still room for response. Zuo Xiaoduo calmed down, activated the Yan Yang Sutra, wrapped his whole body, and walked all the way inside!
Wherever it passed, there was a burnt smell. It seemed that there was nothing in the air, but wherever the Yanyang Divine Art passed, the smell of burnt barbecue gradually rose...
"Look there, Zuo Xiaoduo is over there!"
An excited shout was heard from behind, and before the words were finished, people had already rushed over here from all directions. Judging from the way these people were rushing over, it was clear that they were very experienced in entering this jungle.
He never touched the ground wherever he passed, but at the very end he swung the weapon in his hand as fast as the wind, and all the branches and leaves in the way ahead had to be cleared before he could move forward. It was obvious that he was targeting the tiny insects on the bottom of the leaves.
Some people even continuously sprinkled some kind of powder with a pungent smell. Under the infusion of Yuan Gong, they scattered it over an area of hundreds of kilometers, and continued to do so over and over again.
At this moment, there were some mists constantly flowing in the air, as if something couldn't stand the smell and flew away, but the individual particles were too tiny and there were so many of them that they formed an image similar to smoke or clouds.
Zuo Xiaoduo actually didn't go far.
He was secretly observing how these people did it. Only by knowing both yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. As this was his first time entering this kind of jungle, he knew better than anyone that he was completely in the dark here and had no experience at all, so he had to study hard.
These people's understanding of this place and their experience of this place are what I urgently need right now.
It is impossible for him to keep using the Flame Sun Divine Art to burn everything all the time, as that would only tire himself to death. Even with the uninterrupted supply of the Sky-Bulding Stone, it would not work. The most important thing is that if he used the Flame Sun Divine Art for a long time, he would not be able to hide his whereabouts at all.
Just imagine how dazzling and eye-catching Zuo Xiaoduo would be if he was always surrounded by heat waves and flames!
"Zuo Xiaoduo! Die!"
But then a long roar was heard that shook the air. Three people above his head ignored any poisonous insects and rushed down recklessly. Just about tens of meters in front of Zuo Xiaoduo, they exploded with a loud bang!
An unprecedented huge gust of air suddenly hit.
"crazy!"
Zuo Xiaoduo cursed loudly, and his whole body floating in the air could not be fixed at all. He was pushed back hundreds of meters by the sudden air wave, and he had no chance to resist!
On the way back, Zuo Xiaoduo's body had broken countless trees. Countless hidden poisonous insects suddenly fluttered up like willow catkins in spring, rushing up madly and covering the space of ten thousand meters in radius.
Hundreds of millions of poisonous insects, attracted by the fresh flesh and blood, rushed towards Zuo Xiaoduo and bit him madly.
… …
[The visit a few years ago really disgusted me.]
