After putting on their special anti-gas masks, Huang Shang and others continued to set off and entered the dense ground fire mushroom.
They did not try to destroy these Earth Fire Mushrooms. This was not only because the Earth Fire Mushrooms were extremely numerous, had tenacious vitality, and terrible regeneration capabilities, making them difficult to destroy, but also because the Earth Fire Mushrooms possessed a special "cluster consciousness." If Destroying too many Earth Fire Mushrooms at one time puts the entire Earth Fire Mushroom population under great threat. Then these Earth Fire Mushrooms will immediately mutate and even "come to life", and then form an extremely terrifying species called "Fire Mushroom". Yan Ling" creatures launched a fierce attack on the intruders!
According to some information that Chen Shouyi gave to Huang Shang and others, this kind of fire mushroom Yanling is already close to the strongest in terms of combat power, and it is extremely difficult to kill. It can be said to be one of the most dangerous existences in the Fire Lotus Cave. !
Therefore, Huang Shang and others could not touch these Earth Fire Mushrooms without touching them!
But even if you don't touch these fire mushrooms, this "forest of fire" is still full of dangers!
Buzz!
Not long after Huang Shang and others were moving forward among the large tracts of ground fire mushrooms, gentle buzzing sounds suddenly sounded!
Then, these buzzing sounds started getting denser, louder, and closer!
Soon, among the gaps between the fire mushrooms in the distance, one was about the size of a walnut, all red, like red-hot iron beads, similar in appearance to a ladybug, but with sharp fangs and claws. The flying insects emerged one by one and swept towards Huang Shang and others at an alarming speed!
"It's a bone worm!"
Seeing these large numbers of beetles flying over, everyone present looked attentively.
These beetles called bone-eating beetles are a kind of "fire beast" associated with the fire mushroom. Not only are their bodies extremely tough, like gold steel, but their claws are sharp and almost indestructible. What's even more terrifying is that their claws can even Blood contains a bone-corrosive poison. Once this poison enters the body, the bones in the poisoned person's body will quickly soften, and eventually turn into a puddle of boneless rotten flesh and collapse to the ground.
These bone-eating insects will then burrow into the human body and devour the softened bones, thereby making them stronger.
As for the flesh and blood, they will become the nutrients for the Earth Fire Mushroom.
Similarly, after the local fire mushrooms kill their prey, these bone-eating insects will come here and devour the bones of the prey, leaving only the flesh and blood for the local fire mushrooms to digest.
However, although these bone-eating insects are dangerous, Huang Shang and others are also well prepared.
As the bone-eating insects swarmed toward them, they all took out a small bottle of red liquid medicine and poured it on themselves.
In an instant, a pungent smell of iron rust spread, and after smelling this smell, these bone-eating insects seemed to have encountered natural enemies. They fled in all directions at an alarming speed, leaving Huang Shang without a trace. pose any threat.
The Kingdom of Darkness has controlled the Fire Lotus Cave for so many years, and naturally has rich experience in how to deal with some of the fire beasts. For example, the medicine they are spraying on themselves at the moment is made from a strange beast called [Night Fire Fox] It is made of urine and feces, and this night fire fox happens to be the natural enemy of bone-eating insects and feeds on bone-eating insects, so after smelling this pungent smell, these bone-eating insects, which have little intelligence, They will flee in all directions and will not pose much of a threat to them.
Of course, the value of this kind of thing is also extremely high, and the formula is kept secret, and only some powerful contestants can get it.
As for those contestants who have no backing or background, they can only rely on their own abilities to deal with these terrible bugs!
"Speed up. Although the scent of the Night Fire Fox can drive away those bone-eating insects, it can also easily attract other predators. We need to go to the Fire Lotus Pond quickly!"
After dispersing the bone-eating insects, Senior Brother Zhang spoke again and led everyone to speed up and move forward.
The forest of fire they were in was basically made of fire mushrooms. Although there were also various dangerous plants and fire beasts in it, they were able to deal with it with the strength of the scholars and the various props prepared, so they quickly Everyone passed through the dangerous fire forest composed of earth fire mushrooms without any danger, and came to a piece of dense grass!
It is said to be grass, but in fact these "flame grasses" that look like burning flames in the grass are one or two meters high and can almost completely cover people. At the same time, these plants are not only extremely hot, but their edges are full of jagged edges and are extremely sharp. If ordinary people walked through the grass, they would not be able to go very far before they would be torn into pieces by these sharp flame grasses.
"Across the grassland is the Fire Lotus Pond."
Seeing the endless grass in this article, Senior Brother Zhang's expression condensed and he said in a deep voice: "Everyone, be careful. According to the data, this piece of flame grass is the favorite place for fire beasts to ambush their prey. If you don't pay attention..."
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
Boom boom boom boom boom!
"How dare you, you evil beast!"
"kill!"
…
However, before Brother Zhang could finish his words, bursts of screams, roars, and shouts of shock and anger were heard from a very far distance, and they were getting more intense!
"Someone has already beaten us to it!"
"And it seems that they have already started fighting with those fire beasts!"
…
Hearing the violent screams and roars, many scholars present looked stern.
They didn't expect that someone could enter the grass before them. They had Chen Shouyi to open the back door!
However, these inexperienced scholars did not know that Chen Shouyi had indeed opened a back door for them, but he had also opened a back door for some powerful forces, even powerful men sent by relatives of the emperor, and the back door he opened was even bigger, directly Send them near this patch of grass.
Of course, Chen Shouyi did this not only for "profit", but also because he knew how much these scholars weighed. If he really teleported these scholars to the place closest to the Fire Lotus Pond, it would actually harm them. Scholar!
With the strength of these scholars, let alone whether they can take the lead through the grass and go to the fire lotus pond to capture the fire lotus, even if they can capture the fire lotus, they may not be able to come back alive!
He just gave these scholars a chance to practice, and at the same time he was mentally prepared that these scholars would suffer many casualties, but he absolutely did not want to see all the scholars from the Ink and Wash Academy die in the Fire Lotus Cave!
Otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to explain it to the academy!
…
"Let's go, we have to speed up!"
Soon, these scholars reacted, and then gritted their teeth and entered the lush grass like fire!
They were young, energetic and inexperienced and could not understand Chen Shouyi's painstaking efforts. They only knew that someone was already ahead of them and they had to rush to the Fire Lotus Pond as soon as possible to fight for the Fire Lotus!
However, these scholars did not notice it, but soon after they entered the grass, a pair of eyes hidden deep in the grass were staring at them!
ps: Here comes the second update, okay!
