Mountain after mountain fell into the lake, and a terrible dull sound echoed in the air.
The waves on the lake are not very big, but a butterfly flapping its wings can set off a storm thousands of miles away. The beetles' filling of the lake has caused huge pressure on the distant fortress.
And this also forced the fortress to send people to take the initiative.
Lin Yuan stepped on a floating shipwreck and scanned the surroundings.
There were many wrecks like this, all floating from the opposite shore of the lake. Bright red blood stains and torn strips of clothing can also be seen on some of the wreckage.
The beetles worked tirelessly to move mountains and fill roads in lakes. On both sides of the road, many ships using invisibility spells were sailing silently.
This was not a battlefield between the two sides. The beetles made no unnecessary movements, and the fortress ships moved forward with all their heart. The scene actually maintained a strange harmony.
While Lin Yuan was observing the situation, the surface of the nearby lake changed. The waves gradually began to rise, and the water ripples approached him. Lin Yuan looked back and saw half of the hull of the boat exposed on the water. A woman with a green sheath sword hanging from her waist and wearing a plain flower skirt waved to him. .
"It's dangerous here, get on the boat quickly!" the woman shouted anxiously.
Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the people on the boat regarded him as a person in distress, and he couldn't laugh or cry in his heart.
At this time, two more people appeared on the bow. The expressions on their faces were impatient at first, but when they saw Lin Yuan on the wreckage on the water, their eyes flashed with surprise.
This is probably what Mo Shangren Ruyu is like, even if she is in trouble, her posture is still so chic. They sighed inwardly.
Black Dragon Lake not only has a forbidden air force field, but there are also all kinds of strange energy undercurrents in the lake. In addition, the actions of the beetles disturb the lake. It can be said that a third-level transcendent is basically waiting to die without a boat.
In their opinion, Lin Yuan's strength was at level 3. Applying the 9th level and 10th level classification leaked from the Kingdom of God, it would be roughly 3rd level and 2nd level. If they were standing on the wreckage, they would be panicking now.
One of them hurriedly found the rope ladder on the boat and planned to throw it to Lin Yuan. As a result, Lin Yuan tapped the wreckage with his toes, and it landed on the deck of the ship.
"Thank you all for helping me," Lin Yuan said, cupping his fists.
"We are all humans, and we should help each other." The leading woman smiled, and then asked curiously, "How was the battle with the mother insect earlier? Are you the only one in your fleet who survived? Sorry, if it's inconvenient, you can Did not say."
"It's okay." Lin Yuan said.
On the deck, everyone moved their hands and raised their ears.
"I don't have a fleet. In fact, I just arrived here. You can think of me as a traveler. I recently plan to go to the Rhinoceros Jungle to investigate the social ecology of the Black Death Immortal Beast Realm. Haha, in the age of immortality, human beings All the kingdoms have been disintegrated, but the beast realm has become more and more prosperous. Isn’t this an interesting thing?”
"By the way, can you please elaborate more on the female worm that the lady just mentioned?"
Lin Yuan chuckled.
The people around him listened attentively at first, but later, their eyes gradually changed, and they looked at Lin Yuan as if they were looking at a madman.
Regardless of whether it's interesting or not, how can you, a rookie who has just entered level 3, have the courage to investigate the Rhinoceros Jungle? Not to mention the female insects on the lake shore, even the densely packed black beetles here, if you pick one at random, it is not weaker than the third and fifth levels.
"Are you serious?" The smile on the leading woman's face was a bit unbearable.
"I'm not kidding." Lin Yuan said calmly.
The woman sighed, losing interest in continuing the conversation, and there was pity in her eyes.
Forget it, life and death ahead are uncertain, so it would not be a bad idea to let the traveler stay on the ship to keep his eyes peeled.
She thought about it secretly and shook her head.
If it had been anyone else, she, as the captain, would have thrown people overboard again. It can only be said that being handsome can indeed influence her decision.
"Arrange a room for our traveler and give him a good rest."
After giving instructions to her assistant, the woman didn't respond to Lin Yuan's inquiry and turned around to leave.
Of the two remaining women, one followed the captain, and the other lowered her body apologetically towards Lin Yuan: "Our captain is a straight-tempered man, and he actually has a good heart. Don't take it too seriously. I'll take you to your room. Well, I’ll tell you some questions on the way.”
Lin Yuan nodded to express understanding.
No wonder the captain, the strength he showed really didn't match what he wanted to do.
Previously, he and Lin Keke had disguised their strength at level 3 and forgot to adjust it for a while, but now they were in unnecessary trouble. But it doesn’t matter, it’s just a little bit rough.
The woman who led the way was named Qiulan, a very quaint name, and her temperament was gentle and gentle.
After talking with her, Lin Yuan learned a lot about the Rhinoceros Jungle.
The so-called mother worm is actually a huge living insect nest. They are biological weapons concocted by the ruler of the Rhinoceros Jungle, the Black Death Immortal, and placed on the lakeshore.
Those black beetles that move mountains and fill lakes are mass-produced by female beetles. They have no intelligence and are not afraid of death, so killing them is meaningless. The only way to stop the beetles is to kill the female beetles on the lake shore.
Although the mother insect is not protected by the Black Death Immortal, she is guarded by extremely fierce level 4 insects. Most of the teams sent by the fortress will be here.
"If I'm not mistaken, your captain is only level 3. Can you break through the insect's guards and kill the female insect?" Lin Yuan sat on a chair in the cabin and asked doubtfully.
Qiulan's face showed bitterness, "There are not many Level 4 adults in the fortress. There is always hope. Recently, more people have been able to return to the fortress. People who came back said that the insects guarding the mother worms He is also getting weaker and seems to be dying soon."
"What about you? When I got on the boat, I could see that there was hope on your faces, and you were not someone willing to die. It is not mandatory for the fortress to send people to attack. Can you tell me why you came? You died. , longevity is in vain." Lin Yuan said.
"You can't run away." Qiulan's tone suddenly became distant.
"Since the disintegration of the Great Xia Kingdom, no one has been able to escape. We first ran out of the capital, but in the tide of beasts that occupied the capital, a near-immortal beast king appeared. We ran out of the provincial capital again, and ended up occupying the provincial capital. The top level 6 beast king appeared in the beast tide. Monster beasts can absorb the wisdom of mortals and undergo terrible transformations, but immortality makes us selfish."
"When we selfish people finally started to unite and protect the mortals in the territory, the territory belonging to humans has long been fragmented. I haven't been to the territory outside Zhoushan Gate for a long time." Qiulan whispered.
Lin Yuan was silent.
After immortality, there will be endless tests. Both for civilization and for individuals. And Qiulan didn't know that the mastermind behind everything was actually right in front of her.
Wisdom is the crystallization of spirituality. The pursuit of wisdom in all things is the most primitive instinct given by life. It cannot be said to be right or wrong.
"Then these black beetles are filling up the lake like crazy to go to Zhoushan Gate and eat mortals?" Lin Yuan asked.
"I don't know. I heard from Master Niu who was guarding the fortress that the changes in the beast realm were due to the influence of the red mutation in the past few years. Fortunately, the terrifying Black Death Immortal was still squatting deep in the jungle and did not come out. Otherwise, unless Master Long Come here, otherwise the fortress will be razed in an instant." Qiulan patted her chest and said happily.
"Yes, that guy is still squatting." Lin Yuan agreed.
He tilted his head and looked out the window.
The ground in the depths of the distant jungle suddenly shook, the soil exploded, the sounds of towering trees breaking came and went, and the ferocious beasts were frightened and ran in panic. In a dark crack on the exposed surface, eight gold-rimmed and black-bottomed eyes blinked a few times and closed again.
The fleet is named Hua Qiangwei, and most of the crew are women. Because it has to sail silently, the boat speed is not very fast, and it takes eight or nine days to reach the lake shore.
Lin Yuan liked to stand on the deck and bask in the sun. Whenever he walked out of the cabin, the crew on the deck would slow down their movements and take a peek from time to time.
Although everyone knows that life or death will be uncertain after this trip, they still want to be brave and don't dare to be too obvious.
Of course, even though they were concealed, Lin Yuan could still catch every sight. This made him a little helpless.
He can disguise himself and make his face look ordinary. But as a future person, his unique temperament that transcends time and space still makes him stand out, and he really can't keep a low profile.
Then, the crew discovered a strange phenomenon.
There are fewer and fewer good weather days in the sky.
There are always dark clouds floating above their fleet, with purple thunder undulating in them.
What puzzles them is that whenever a crew member takes the opportunity to hide close to the edge of the forest, there will always be a sudden thunder in the sky, which is scary.
"Is it true that if you are too handsome, you will be struck by thunder?"
The captain rubbed his chin and looked thoughtfully at the edge of the forest blowing in the wind from a distance on the deck.
