Vines like this can be said to be everywhere in the entire Yangcun Town stronghold. If you are not careful, you may trigger the attack of the vines.
However, after suffering a small loss, the two of them also figured out some of the habits of the vines. They were more careful while traveling and tried not to touch these vines.
These vines are like a mechanism. If you don't touch them, their reaction will not be that violent.
Of course, the turmoil caused by these vines also made Sangou completely put away his previous careless thoughts.
This place really doesn't allow them to do whatever they want.
Because the vines could attack at any time, it also prevented the two of them from taking full action, which also affected their speed to a certain extent.
Fortunately, when they entered the Yangcun Town stronghold, the two of them wanted to investigate the situation and did not need to rush at full speed.
Walking faster or slower does not affect their goal of this trip.
On the contrary, if you walk slower, you can observe many details more carefully.
Compared with Jiang Yue's previous expectations, the evil monsters and tree demons in Yangcun Town's stronghold did not seem to be that exaggerated.
At least the two of them have been inside for so long and haven't been harassed by evil monsters or tree charms.
However, you still can't be careless.
Jiang Yue is not worried about being secretly targeted by evil monsters and tree charms. With his borrowing ability, he can now cover a distance of a thousand meters.
If a large number of tree demons and evil monsters were really targeting him, Jiang Yue was fully capable of discovering them in advance and reacting quickly.
And Sangou's yin-yang prodigy was not just blown away.
It can be said that the combination of the two brothers is definitely a bit exaggerated to say that they can bulldoze this stronghold, but it is definitely not that easy for the tree charms and evil monsters in this stronghold to besiege them.
According to the previous information about Yu Yuan and Du Chong, as well as some information provided by Hao Yinan, the two of them are actually very close to the core of this stronghold now.
It stands to reason that at this position, there should be a lot of eyeliners.
But so far, Jiang Yue has only found a few eyeliners, and the coverage of these eyeliners is simply not enough to cover all routes.
Jiang Yue used his ability to borrow sight to easily avoid these spies, and the two of them entered the core area of the stronghold with ease.
This core area was the center of Yangcun Town.
After the two entered the interior, they found that under the trees that blocked out the sun, they could still see some civilizational relics from the Sunshine Age.
Some relatively tall buildings, although surrounded by tall trees, can still vaguely see some traces.
Especially when the two of them went deep inside, no matter how dense the vegetation was, they could still see the remaining traces of civilization.
The trees around here are almost all twenty or thirty meters tall. The tallest building in Yangcun Town in the Sunshine Era actually has more than a dozen floors, totaling dozens of meters.
But even so, these relatively tall buildings are still wrapped in various vines. If you look at them from a distance, they are surrounded by green. Even if the tall trees cannot completely block them, you can't clearly distinguish them from the outside.
On the contrary, Jiang Yue and the others could feel a bit of the prosperity and excitement of the Sunshine Age inside the stronghold.
What was strange to Jiang Yue was not that the entire Yangcun town was covered in vegetation. Jiang Yue had no doubts about the strange tree's ability.
Give it time, let alone a Yangcun Town, even a huge Cloud City will be swallowed up if it is said to be swallowed up?
What Jiang Yue is even more curious about is that when the two of them reach this position, they should be in a relatively core area. Why are the eyeliners on the opposite side so attentive?
According to the intelligence from Yu Yuan and the Poisonous Insect Protector, they were targeted by a large number of evil monsters and tree demons before they reached the core area.
Did these two people lie?
This possibility is extremely slim and can be completely ruled out.
Jiang Yue did not doubt the loyalty of Yu Yuan and the poisonous insects.
Sangou also noticed something was wrong: "Second brother, is this really the core of the stronghold? Why do you feel that the defense is so empty?"
Jiang Yue felt something strange in his heart, but he was not careless and warned: "Take another look, maybe there is a scam here."
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
Jiang Yue didn't quite believe that the other party had deliberately withdrawn its men and lured the two brothers over.
Not to mention that the other party didn't know their identities at all. Even if they knew, they should have set up a formation to surround the two brothers.
They have already entered the core area. Even if they lure the enemy deeper, it is time to close the net.
If you go deeper, you will reach the core area.
Jiang Yue suddenly remembered something.
Could it be that these evil monsters and tree demons are all involved in the "nest building" project?
This possibility cannot be ruled out.
Judging from the information from the Poisonous Insect Protector, nest building is very important to the Weird Tree, so it makes sense to invest a lot of effort into it.
But to say that the defense is so lax and allows humans to easily break in is obviously not in line with the cautious character of the weird tree.
You know, the Weird Tree is famously cautious and will never let such a big flaw happen.
Jiang Yue guessed that there was probably something involving a large number of fresh troops elsewhere, causing the defense here to be relatively empty.
Looking at the defense here, it doesn't mean they have given up completely. There are also some eyeliners placed here and there. If Jiang Yue hadn't cleverly avoided those informants through his borrowing skills, the intruder would still have been discovered with a high probability given the concealment of those informants.
After thinking about this, Jiang Yue became much calmer.
No matter what the reason is, since the defense on the opposite side is not particularly tight, it is just right to continue deeper. Being able to investigate more intelligence information, Jiang Yue would naturally not let go of this opportunity.
According to the information previously provided by Hao Yinan, the place where those character patterns appeared was an activity center in Yangcun Town.
That area was the busiest area of Yangcun Town at the time. It was adjacent to the official building of Yangcun Town and was the central area of Yangcun Town.
Since the entire stronghold is covered in green everywhere, it is naturally not possible to find a location as easily as in the Sunshine Era.
However, with Jiang Yue's recognition ability, he quickly located the location of the activity center with a little discrimination.
The area beneath their feet would never be more than two kilometers away.
But these two kilometers are obviously no joke. As the two people continued to get closer, it was obvious that every time they got closer to a few hundred meters, the other party's defense level became higher.
The distribution of sentries, the arrangement of eyelines, including the arrangement of defensive forces, became denser.
Moreover, a large number of evil monsters began to appear in the surrounding dense vegetation.
These evil monsters are obviously patrolling this area.
At this density, unless the two of them are completely invisible, with this patrol density and defense strength, even if they can avoid it, they will be discovered sooner or later.
Jiang Yue's invisibility technique can naturally avoid this situation, and Sangou's invisibility technique, which Jiang Yue also encouraged, can also do the same.
Moreover, the invisibility technique can last for fifteen minutes. Normally, one can rush to the activity center.
But do you want to use the invisibility skill once now?
The two of them felt that it was not worth it.
Jiang Yue's invisibility technique can be used three times a day, but the invisibility technique that the three dogs were encouraged to bless can only be used once.
In other words, once used, once the fifteen minutes are up, the opportunity is equivalent to being used.
If he wants to use it again, unless Jiang Yue sends him blessings again.
"Second brother, look at this posture, we want to avoid the spy and go to that place, but I'm afraid it won't work. How about using invisibility and we rush there with all our strength?"
Jiang Yue thought for a moment and shook his head: "No, keep it for now. I'll try to control the evil monster."
Jiang Yue's grand puppet technique, Dark Aria, is used to control evil monsters, which is a piece of cake.
If these roving evil monsters are not controlled by Jiang Yue, they will definitely issue an early warning once they find Jiang Yue and Sangou.
In this way, the existence of the two people was completely exposed.
Jiang Yue did what he said, cast Dark Aria, and began to counter-control the evil monsters around him.
Although there are many evil monsters around, Dark Aria's control is no joke. Jiang Yue only wanted to avoid the eyes and ears, and did not need to control a large number of evil monsters.
In this way, it will naturally become more manageable.
This dark aria has no effect on those tree charms. The Grand Puppetry Technique can control tree charms, but Jiang Yue has no intention of controlling these tree charms.
Tree charms are transformed from weird trees. Who knows what deep connection they have with weird trees?
What if I control these tree charms, but instead disturb the strange tree?
Jiang Yue's strategy was to control the evil monsters that might discover them and let them provide cover to make it easier for the two of them to move forward.
Then use the borrowed sight skill to avoid the tree charm's eyes.
Not to mention, this method allowed the Jiang Yue brothers to easily enter the core area of Yangcun Town.
However, when the two of them arrived at the area two to three hundred meters outside the activity center, they knew that this strategy could only be used here.
The two sneaked into an abandoned building and came to a relatively high position to observe the situation around the activity center.
The number of evil monsters in this area is much greater than before.
These are not the main point. The main point is that there are obviously many strange buildings around the activity center, and a large number of human-shaped tree demons are moving around.
And these so-called buildings are obviously not from the Sunshine Age.
The most important thing is that these buildings are still under construction, using huge trees. The main structure looks like a ring-shaped walled city and an altar. There is a huge high platform in the middle area, all made of wood. It is at least tens to hundreds of meters high.
Each piece of wood was engraved with strange characters and patterns, and the style was exactly the same as the characters and patterns that Jiang Yue had collected before.
These are definitely the runes and patterns of the Geocentric Clan.
Carving on these woods is even more ritualistic and full of mysterious meaning.
Jiang Yue guessed that this should be the nesting mentioned by the poisonous insect protector?
To say that the scale of this nest is actually not particularly grand. The circumference of the ring-shaped walled city will never exceed three kilometers.
But the altar-like high platform in the middle, as well as the strange shape of stacked timbers, including the mysterious runes, undoubtedly had a huge impact.
Not only a visual impact, but also a spiritual impact.
Jiang Yue frowned deeply. Looking at this posture, this thing is more than just a nest.
The surrounding ring-shaped walled city indeed looks like a habitable cave.
But from Jiang Yue's point of view, although the surrounding ring-shaped walled city was carefully built, it was just an embellishment. Perhaps it was just to protect the high platform in the core area, the wooden building like an altar.
Looking at the countless tree charm guards around, it can be seen that this area is definitely a forbidden area that cannot be offended.
Once someone wants to attack the high platform, thousands of tree demons and countless evil monsters around the ringed city will definitely swarm up and bite the intruder into pieces.
Jiang Yue suddenly understood why Yu Yuan and Protector Poisonous Chong could not enter this core area.
With their strength, being able to wander around the periphery without being discovered is the ultimate. Entering the core area within this kilometer, such a density of sentries left them with almost no room to display.
The poisonous insect protector commanded the spiritual insects. Such a secret method was discovered, let alone Yu Yuan.
Yu Yuan also has some techniques for controlling ghosts, but they are clearly far from Jiang Yue's methods. If you control one or two ghosts and enter this area, it will be impossible to get close.
Seeing such a strange situation, Sangou felt his scalp numb: "Second brother, what kind of plane are they doing? Is this what the poisonous insects call nesting? It looks very evil."
Jiang Yue nodded: "It is indeed very evil."
A fierce glare flashed in Sangou's eyes: "Second brother, how about we give them a hard blow?"
"How to fix it?"
"Hey, doesn't the second brother have a fire talisman? My fire bird can also activate real fire. You see, these buildings are all made of wood. A fire will burn them all. These should be tree charms, right? They are not us humans. Okay. Just treat it as a burial object."
Sangou is a ruthless person. Since you are no longer a human being, just because you are a human being does not mean that Sangou will agree with you and kill you directly!
Jiang Yue knew that Sangou was eager to try, but he was not so optimistic.
It would be easier if a fire could burn it.
What's more, Jiang Yue doesn't plan to burn them directly yet. He also wants to observe these strange buildings and collect the characters and patterns.
As for the runes and patterns mentioned by Hao Yinan, which appeared in the area of the activity center, Jiang Yue visually estimated that they should be at the base at the bottom of the high platform.
It's just that the sightlines in the area where the two of them are located are not very good, so they can't observe clearly yet.
Jiang Yue activated the borrowing skill, but still couldn't make a clear judgment.
Because of the color of the wood, I don’t know what kind of transformation it has undergone, but it seems to be integrated with the stone monument and the earth.
It's still impossible to see clearly just by looking at it.
However, Jiang Yue was not discouraged. At this point, the stealth skill had to be activated.
