There is no living thing, no vitality, death and silence like hell.
So, when Jiang Yue was outside the dense forest, he clearly heard vague sounds. The suppressed sounds could not be an illusion.
What's the reason?
Jiang Yue leaned lightly against a big tree, stopped, and almost raised his mental power to the extreme.
He didn't believe it. Could it be that there wasn't a single living creature in the entire large circle area with a radius of thirty meters?
The facts once again poured cold water on him.
He radiated all his mental power, not sparing any corner, but still found nothing.
This is a dead land, with no insects, no frogs, no snakes, no rats, no signs of any living creatures.
retreat?
This idea came out of Jiang Yue's mind.
His instinct told him that he could not go any further. Any more step he takes may lead to an abyss waiting for him.
At this moment, Jiang Yue's eyelids suddenly twitched and his ears twitched slightly. Almost at the same time, an inexplicable sense of crisis suddenly arose in his consciousness.
This sense of crisis came inexplicably, so suddenly.
Jiang Yue felt a sound coming from above his head, and his body reacted instinctively. His back hit the tree trunk hard, and with the rebound force of the tree trunk, Jiang Yue's body was ejected like an arrow.
Almost the moment Jiang Yue bounced away from the scene, a strange liquid dripped down from the huge tree trunk where he originally stood.
After the liquid hit the ground, it strangely turned into a puddle and quickly spread on the ground.
Looking up again, I saw large areas of thick liquid hanging from the trunk, spreading down the trunk.
What's even weirder is that in the process of spreading, these liquids that look like resin but are not resin are spreading down the tree trunks. But at this moment, in the tree trunk wrapped in the liquid, it seems that there is some force trying to break free from the wrapping of the liquid, constantly pushing out, and pushing out various strange shapes.
But no matter how hard it pushes outwards, the thick liquid is so tenacious that it will not be broken. As soon as the pushing force disappears, the thick liquid immediately regains its shape and clings to the tree trunk again, looking like It's like nothing happened.
Such a strange scene really made Jiang Yue feel a little numb.
At this moment, another big tree next to him made slight movement, and large swaths of viscous liquid quickly gathered along the branches and leaves toward the trunk.
Jiang Yue was dumbfounded. Just when he was surprised, a bulge suddenly popped out of the tree trunk wrapped in the sticky liquid, and quickly expanded outwards, pushing the tough mucus outward, and it turned out to be a thick arm. Ji spread his five fingers and grabbed Jiang Yue's face.
This came very suddenly, almost only one foot away from Jiang Yue.
Fortunately, Jiang Yue reacted quickly and quickly slid back, trying to avoid the strange grab.
What Jiang Yue didn't expect was that the arm seemed to be unfettered and quickly grew longer. Wherever Jiang Yue retreated, the arm followed him!
Infinite spread!
This caught Jiang Yue off guard.
Fortunately, Jiang Yue was fast enough and his reaction was quick enough.
Every time this infinitely spreading arm was about to touch him, he could always speed up again and escape.
It wasn't until Jiang Yue made several small circles in succession that the potential of this infinitely spreading arm was finally exhausted. It was almost as straight as a spring. There was no potential to tap. It suddenly relaxed and retracted in a whoosh.
Almost in a breath, the arm retracted into the tree trunk, calm as before, and no more movement. The large piece of mucus quickly traveled up the tree trunk and quickly disappeared into the canopy.
This situation is like a fountain that bursts out of the water. No matter how high it sprays, it will eventually fall back to the water and then quickly return to calm.
Unfortunately, there was no time for Jiang Yue to think about it.
He pressed the gourd and raised the ladle. As soon as the slime attack over there retracted, a huge head suddenly appeared here, opened its mouth and bit Jiang Yue's shoulder.
The speed was so fast that Jiang Yue had no room to think.
Thanks to Jiang Yue, anyone with a slower reaction would have been able to bite off half of Jiang Yue's shoulder on the spot with the huge head that suddenly poked out from behind.
Jiang Yue continued to dodge, darting through the trees to avoid sudden attacks.
Soon, large swaths of slime continued to appear on the giant trees in the dense forest, simulating various strange shapes, just like monsters emerging from hell. The situation was indescribably weird.
Jiang Yue realized that he had unintentionally stepped into a terrifying trap.
Although he is not sure now, this trap was not directed at him, or it was there in the first place, and he just walked in unintentionally.
These consecutive attacks made Jiang Yue behave better.
His stance at the moment was very particular. The terrain is relatively open, ensuring that there are no big trees within ten meters of the surrounding area.
There were several trees as thick as thighs, but he knocked them down with a few kicks.
In this way, a relatively open area appeared around him, which also made his field of vision relatively wider. Even if he was attacked from behind, he would at least have plenty of time to react.
He also figured out that the trees with mucus on them were basically the kind of trees that couldn't be hugged with both hands.
There are indeed many such trees in this dense forest, but not every tree is as thick as this.
Moreover, there is a distance between these hugging trees after all, and such large trees cannot be close to each other.
This also unconsciously gave Jiang Yue some room to dodge and maneuver.
If all the trees here could produce this kind of mucus, there would be basically no room for Jiang Yue to move.
Jiang Yue stood there, every cell in his body was on high alert.
At the same time, he carefully observed these strange and constantly changing shapes of mucus, trying to find some clues.
What the hell is all this slime?
He also knew that after the strange invasion, all kinds of strange life forms would appear. Maybe this slime was also some kind of strange life form?
But just looking at the mucus, you really can't tell what kind of creature it looks like, and you can't feel any breath of life.
To say it is an animal is obviously not an animal, and a plant does not look like a plant.
However, the strange shapes of these slimes that are constantly swelling are very personified, simulating the shapes of arms, claws, heads, etc., which are obviously simulating human shapes.
This was a bit confusing to Jiang Yue.
Could it be that there is some life form hidden in this mucus?
Just because of the function of this mucus, the breath of life is completely covered?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yue suddenly felt that this judgment might have some basis. .
Logically speaking, the slime itself cannot simulate various shapes on its own. It seems that the power of simulation comes from the inside out.
Thinking of Qin Guoao's bottle of spray, couldn't it also cover up the breath of life?
Then these mucus may have the same effect. It can cover up the breath of real life forms and create various weird attack effects through the cover of mucus.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yue secretly calmed down.
The thick trees around him were gathering more and more mucus, forming all kinds of strange shapes, ready to move, as if they could jump off the tree trunks at any time, form independent moving bodies, and launch a fatal attack on Jiang Yue.
However, the imagined siege did not come.
I don't know if they are waiting to receive instructions or if they are afraid of Jiang Yue.
All in all, these strange shapes surrounded Jiang Yue, but he never attacked. The previous sporadic and tentative attacks seemed to be just teasing with Jiang Yue, not an all-out fight.
This made Jiang Yue feel strange.
Of course he was not interested in guessing riddles. Since these weird things didn't take the initiative to attack, Jiang Yue naturally couldn't waste them where they were.
Seeing the right opportunity, he planned to retreat from the original road.
However, when his body slid backwards like a swimming fish, the mucus on the giant trees behind him was the first to react.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Lines of mucus stretched out like arms, quickly forming a wall like the Thousand-Armed Guanyin on Jiang Yue's retreat, blocking Jiang Yue's path.
Jiang Yue quickly ran to the side, trying to get around this obstacle.
Then, the slime between the giant trees seems to have a natural tacit understanding, and they can communicate with each other as they wish.
Before Jiang Yue had time to jump out of the encirclement, he blocked the roads on both sides.
Lines of mucus lay in front of Jiang Yue, like building fences, leaving Jiang Yue with no way to go.
Ahead are streaks of slime, behind are fences made of slime, and upwards is a canopy of black winter trees. God knows what kind of crisis is hidden there.
The only way left for Jiang Yue was underground. Unless Jiang Yue had the ability to escape from the ground, there would really be no way out.
Jiang Yue frowned.
He was a little confused. What did the other party mean by this operation?
Such a large amount of mucus should have formed an absolute numerical suppression on him. If they launched an attack together, it would be extremely difficult for Jiang Yue to parry.
Just when Jiang Yue was confused, there seemed to be a faint sound of footsteps coming from the distance.
The footsteps sounded a bit draggy, and when they stepped on the ground, they sounded a bit lazy, like someone who was woken up from sleep and was reluctant to get up at night.
Anyone?
Someone finally came?
But in the middle of the night, in this strange dense forest, hearing such dragging footsteps not only did not make Jiang Yue feel peaceful, but instead made him feel more terrifying.
Can a normal person appear in this dense forest in the middle of the night?
In such an environment, can a normal person escape from such sloppy footsteps?
They all want to keep their footsteps as light as possible, preferably silently.
The footsteps finally got closer, but Jiang Yue still didn't feel the breath of a living creature approaching.
This made Jiang Yue even more confused and confused.
Are these footsteps not a living thing?
Jiang Yue inexplicably remembered the caravan of people in Panshiling and the scene when they returned to the town that night. They were also dragging their feet in such a strange way.
However, at that time, he was in the town, but now, he was in this dead forest, which was undoubtedly more terrifying.
Finally, a figure appeared in Jiang Yue's sight.
Just as Jiang Yue guessed, this figure was stumbling and dragging its feet. It didn't look like a normal person walking.
Why is it him?
When Jiang Yue could faintly see the outline of the opponent, Jiang Yue was a little stunned on the spot.
This person is actually Zheng Kang!
It was Zheng Kang who he had been searching for just now!
Is he really ambushing here?
But what on earth is this kid playing? Why can't I feel the human breath at all on him? Is this kid possessed by a ghost?
That’s not right either!
Even if one is possessed by a ghost, the human aura cannot completely disappear.
When Zheng Kang got closer, Jiang Yue discovered it.
Strictly speaking, this silhouette is that of Zheng Kang, but the actual person is completely different.
At first glance, this is indeed a person, but upon closer inspection, this person's outline is blurred and his facial features are abstract. He only vaguely resembles Zheng Kang's body shape and appearance, but he doesn't look like a normal human being at all.
To describe the feeling, it's like a human being has been painted with a layer of paint, and the surface is as smooth as if a layer of gold has been gilded on the surface of the body.
Is this Zheng Kang?
Jiang Yue glanced at the other person's chest. There was a slight bulge on his chest. It was the pendant hanging on his chest. It was also coated with the same paint at this moment.
When Zheng Kang walked up to him, he seemed to have received some instructions. With a pop, he knelt down in front of Jiang Yue.
This move surprised Jiang Yue.
"Zheng Kang?"
Jiang Yue asked a little uncertainly.
Zheng Kang seemed to have completely lost his sense of self. He knelt down on the ground in a daze, without answering or explaining. He was like a puppet without a soul, kneeling down on the ground, as if repenting or redeeming himself.
At this moment, the slime on the tree trunks also peeled off the trunks one after another, turning into independent subjects, and they knelt down on the spot.
There are hundreds of them in all directions.
Jiang Yue took a closer look and saw that the layer of substance on Zheng Kang's body was exactly the same as the mucus. It was a strange deep purple color and looked like a giant eggplant.
The people kneeling on all sides are also this weird deep purple.
Jiang Yue suddenly remembered something.
Is this really Zheng Kang? And the people kneeling on all sides are the ghosts summoned by Zheng Kang?
Zheng Kang and these ghosts were all trapped by these slimes and became like this?
The more Jiang Yue thought about it, the more likely he felt that this was possible.
But, why do they kneel down to themselves?
What is the force behind all this?
This weird purple color reminded Jiang Yue and made him think of a certain possibility.
The weird giant egg in Qiluo Mountain, the purple giant egg that appeared in Tong Fei Fei’s dream, and the monster that once haunted Yangfan Middle School, weren’t they also this weird purple color?
Could it be...
After all, did he accidentally break into the territory of the purple giant egg?
its not right!
According to the data, the location of the giant egg is far away from the strange rock slope. Otherwise, Jiang Yue and the others would not have chosen to perch on this strange rocky slope.
The purpose is not to provoke the weird giant egg, not to provoke the giant egg mother body.
