To the north of the Northern Wilderness, beyond the vast rocky mountains, the dark green forest stretches as far as the eye can see.
The color of the vegetation ranges from light to dark, getting closer to black as you go north. This is the world-famous Black Death Jungle, one of the paradises for mutant creatures. A wide variety of elite-level creatures live in the outer circle of the forest, and guardian-level and even lord-level creatures appear from time to time.
A rare number of king-level creatures live in the deepest part of the forest. Although they are extremely powerful, they rarely appear in human sight.
Normally, the higher the level of the mutant creature, the higher its intelligence. To a certain extent, they will understand that humans are the leaders of this world. The final result of irritating the other party must be destruction, so they will choose to avoid it. As long as they don't make too much noise, they can live in peace with each other and keep their peace.
And strong human beings are not willing to put themselves in danger, which is a certain degree of balance and compromise.
In the depths of the forest, lost explorers are occasionally rescued by king-level creatures, which is evident from this.
But this is just an individual case. For the vast majority of humans, the Black Death Jungle is a death zone. Even a legion of defenders may be wiped out after encountering a certain lord-level creature.
There is a relatively empty place in the dense woods. There are mountains of rusted cars and iron products riddled with holes that break at the touch of a touch. As far as the eye can see, the mountains of piled car scraps are rolling and endless as far as the eye can see.
This place is called "Automobile Valley" by explorers. The special climate delays the corrosion of iron products. Hundreds of years have passed, and these old cars and parts can barely maintain their original shape.
There is a deep pit in the middle of the Automobile Valley, hundreds of meters in diameter. Standing on the edge and looking down, there is a faint strip of light rolling in the middle of the pit, shining like flowing water waves.
If Chen Xing were here, he would definitely recognize it. This is the place where he and Aaliya had their adventure last year. At that time, people from the Silver Knight Guild were exploring here, and Aaliyah broke out halfway and snatched the fruit of victory - the crystal core of the Dark Demon, and was eventually promoted to the king level.
"Chiji..."
In the silence, a white figure the size of a calf crawled out of the light belt. Taking a closer look, it was a mutated termite worker. It seemed to be dragging something, its three pairs of jointed legs dug into the soil, and its jaws were very strong. Immediately afterwards, more white figures came out of the light belt, with their butts facing outward and their heads facing inward, dragging something hard.
"Shashasha..."
The sound of heavy objects rubbing against the sand was heard, and a dark object was dragged out of the light belt.
The thing was like a tree trunk, at least one meter in diameter, and the front end was blood red, like the nails of some kind of animal. After a while, the worker ants worked together and finally pulled out the whole thing, and it turned out to be a bent finger!
To be more precise, it's part of a creature's claw.
After a while, another group of worker ants crawled out, with something dark red on their heads that looked like beef. Then more worker ants came out, all of them carrying or dragging something.
There is a hole in the ground on the other side of the pit, and the worker ants are constantly transporting things into it. The corridor has twists and turns, leading to a cave several kilometers away.
There are many insect eggs half as tall as a man scattered in the cave. The transparent eggshells emit a bright green light, and the mountains of bones appear even more terrifying under the green light.
"Click, click, click..."
The sounds of animals eating echoed in the crypt, as if their bellies could never be filled.
If there is a biologist here, he will definitely recognize the owner of these giant bones - the Dark Demon.
The Dark Demon is one of the two ultimate forms of demon evolution known to mankind. It is an evil creature at the same level as the evil dragon and the evil phoenix, and is located at the top of the carbon-based life food chain.
It is really shocking that such a powerful creature is used as food.
"Zi la!"
An electric arc flashed, and a bone covered with tooth marks appeared out of thin air above the bone pile, falling vertically on the bone pile, making a crisp sound.
"Yeah, I'm so full..."
Lazy brainwaves echoed in the crypt, indescribably weird and terrifying.
At this moment, the bushes above the crypt rustled, and the fine branches and leaves swayed. A flash of red light lit up in the darkness, a dazzling scarlet color that exuded a dangerous aura.
The huge creature in the crypt raised its head alertly and listened carefully for a few seconds. Suddenly, there was a "sizzling" sound and a layer of electric arc appeared around it. The next second, the space distorted, and the creature disappeared on the spot, leaving only small arcs of electricity.
The red light in the bushes gradually faded and disappeared.
"Wow, it's so scary, I can't go any deeper..."
"You can't go east either, those steam bugs are so annoying..."
"Hey, the area near the river seemed pretty good last time..."
A pair of bright green eyes moved in the dark corridor. Whenever it blinks, water will immediately appear, as if water will overflow at any time.
Early the next morning, birds were chirping, sunlight filtered through the treetops, and mist filled the forest. A small river winds down from the top of the mountain. The water is clear and colorful stones lie quietly at the bottom of the river. It is peaceful and beautiful.
"Wow..."
There was a soft sound of water coming from the river. Looking through the branches and leaves, I can see a girl playing in the river, bending down from time to time to pick up colored stones in the river.
She is twenty-eight years old, and her skin is as white as jade and freshly baked butter. But her belly was swollen high, round and big, as if she was ten months pregnant, and she was a little awkward when she bent over.
A pair of calves were paddling in the water, and every nail on the feet was crystal clear, more beautiful than the colored stones in the river.
The girl picked it up for a while, with her hands full of colored stones, she walked up the river for a short distance and came to a relatively open pool.
The pool is at the foot of the mountain, in an irregular round shape, with obvious traces of manual excavation. The bottom of the pool is covered with smooth colored stones, and it is easy to see that they were carefully selected. Larger stones are piled around the edge of the pool, making it look like a natural bath.
The girl threw the colored stones into the pool, and the colored stones fell into the water with a splash and slowly sank. The girl seemed to be having a great time, with a bright smile on her face as she sat in the pool and played in the water.
Thousands of meters away, a large colorful spider crawled towards the river.
It has eight eyes on its head, looking around nimbly for prey and danger.
"grumble!"
Suddenly, the soil around it arched upward. With a sharp scream, termites emerged from the soil one by one.
The eight-eyed spider opened its mouth and let out the same sharp scream. The battle was about to break out. The eight-eyed spider retracted its tail and sprayed white silk towards the termites behind it.
The termites that came into contact fell to the ground and struggled. The white threads tightened tighter and tighter, and every joint was broken.
Several termites pounced on them, and the eight-eyed spider swung its long pointed legs and pierced the heads of two termites. The remaining termite rushed forward, was bitten by it, and was thrown several meters away.
"grumble!"
The eight-eyed spider screamed in protest. The termites retreated. The Eight-Eyed Spider was about to give chase when the ground beneath his feet suddenly arched up. A pair of large pincers came out of the ground, clamped the Eight-Eyed Spider's waist, and pulled it back with force. With a "click" sound, the eight-eyed spider's body separated and broke into two pieces.
It moved its forelimbs unwillingly, but in vain, and was finally submerged by the ant colony...
