In the Fire Cloud Forest, Nan Jue and his group, who were wearing military medals, seemed to be the first to arrive at Pingling Mountain. They wandered in the Fire Cloud Forest, seeming to have lost their way.
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 set foot here only told them that the Fire Tribulation Fruit should appear. In this forest, the higher the temperature, the denser it grows.
"Did you hear any sounds, like some monster sticking out its tongue?" an officer with bronze skin asked.
"Stop being paranoid. How can there be any monsters when the temperature here is so high?" said the female officer walking at the back of the team.
Countless sweat had already evaporated from her forehead by the rising sun. It was only morning, and by noon or afternoon, this place would be a furnace that could roast people alive.
"Yi Zi, do you still have water? Give me a sip first...Yi Zi?"
The bronze-skinned officer walking in front turned his head, only to find 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 expression suddenly changed and he hurriedly reported to the team members in front.
"Sir Nanjue, Ye Zi, who is responsible for guarding the rear, is missing." The bronze-skinned officer said in a panic.
Nan Jue raised her hand and made a gesture to stop the whole team. She glanced at a quiet forest.
"Let's go back and look for her. She might have fallen behind."
Nan Jue shook his head. Those who will 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.
"Sorry, Xu Dong is also missing. He should have been scouting the way for us just now." Another officer hurried over to report.
Nan Jue's expression changed and he immediately said to everyone in the team: "I'm afraid there are many enemies. Let's get out of here as soon as possible!"
"If we don't save Ye Zi, how can we abandon our companions?" said the bronze-skinned officer.
"If you want to die here, then continue looking for Ye Zi's body!" Nan Jue looked ruthless.
After the order was given, the group immediately chose to leave the overly dense forest.
However, in the process of rushing into action, several people disappeared mysteriously one after another.
At this time, everyone realized how scary this forest was, and the distance between everyone in their entire team was only a few meters. Those people who suddenly disappeared disappeared in an instant, without making any screams, and no blood was seen there. The only thing left behind were drag marks among the fallen leaves on the ground!
Nan Jue is a very powerful mage. When the team members were in danger one after another, he himself did not notice the presence of any demons nearby. This most likely indicates that the creature is far more powerful than them.
Nan Jue told the team members this inference, and everyone was even more frightened. However, the bronze-skinned officer said puzzledly: "Since its strength far exceeds ours, why does it kill us one by one like this?" Aren’t you going to kill us all in one fell swoop?”
"It should be enjoying the torture of cats and mice. If we still stay there, it will kill us one after another." Nan Jue said with certainty.
"What the hell is this place? I think we were all killed by the demons lurking in this Fire Cloud Forest before we found the Fire Tribulation Fruit."
…
The leaves of the Fire Cloud Tree like the harsh sunlight most, and the heat in the air will be absorbed by them and turned into nutrients for the entire tree. The amount of sunlight and heat that each leaf can absorb is limited. Their lifespan will end in about seven days, and new fire cloud leaves will replace them, so the flat-topped mountain is covered with these fiery red leaves like maple leaves, turning into a bright red carpet, and you can walk on it. Feel the heat and softness that is different from ordinary land.
Mo Fan felt a little regretful when he stepped into the Fire Cloud Forest. This forest was like a maze. Every tree looked exactly the same, even the size was the same. The red fallen leaves all over the place made it difficult to distinguish the direction. at the moment. Mo Fan couldn't find the cave that could lead to the inside of the mountain.
Tired from walking, he sat down to rest for a while. Mo Fou wondered whether he should go back to the Flame Witch and let her take the time to lead the way for him. It's better than wandering around in the forest aimlessly like this.
As soon as he stood 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 it to the tip of his nose and smelled it. Mo Fan's expression suddenly changed. .
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. Only then did I realize that the fire leaves in this area were more brightly colored. At first glance, they would be confused with the bright red color. Who would have known that there was already an astonishing pool of blood here!
Mo Fan searched around and found a broken and bloody hand between a thick leaf. Judging from the hand bones, it seemed that it was a woman.
Mo Fan was also used to seeing corpses. He found out that the woman had died not long ago. While wondering if another mage had arrived here, he found other parts of her body under the leaves.
After finally finding something that looked like a medal, Mo Fan determined the identity of this woman, who was a military mage.
"This forest is not only as difficult to get out of as a maze, but there are also many man-eating demons living in it. I hope Xinxia and the others haven't walked in here, otherwise it will be in danger." Mo Fan buried the body smoothly. .
Burying corpses is a moral obligation that every mage hunter will abide by. Mage hunters who often go through life and death often don't know when they will be killed by monsters during a hunt, and their bodies will be exposed in the wilderness. So when he saw the corpse of his colleague, he didn't care about the effort and buried it in peace, which was a guarantee that he would end up like this in the future.
It's a ridiculous guarantee, but it also shows that every mage who becomes a hunter is mentally prepared to die at any time.
…
Others may still have the idea of stealing the Fire Tribulation Fruit, but Mo Fan is not very interested. On the one hand, the flame witch guarding the Fire Tribulation Fruit is so powerful that if she snatches it, she will die. On the other hand, someone else saved his life. Not to the point of turning against the other side in a frantic manner.
All he wants now is to find Xinxia and the others as soon as possible, bring some local specialties from Zhuoyuan, go back to Shanghai and sell them for money, exchange them for good magic equipment, and then go back to the school to torture the grandchildren who are looking for trouble for him all day long. It is not in vain. This trip is over! ! (To be continued.)
