On the plain, Chu Xin led his undead army and moved forward at high speed along the path explored by the golden villain.
The lateral area of the ruins space is not as large as expected. The left and right sides, each extending less than four kilometers, were blocked by space walls that suddenly appeared.
Therefore, there is no need to identify the direction carefully, you can only explore this path inward.
The real location of the Crazy Lich Laboratory should be behind the strange black fog forest, so Chu Xin's goal at this time is quite clear, which is to cross the black fog forest.
Considering that going deep into the ruins space, the time consumed by a trip has increased significantly. Chu Xin, Bing Meng and other non-undead personnel who do not have any recovery ability have not joined the battle. In addition to maintaining the spiritual energy to isolate the erosion of the undead breath, Don't dare to consume too much at all.
The farther and farther distance determines that they will definitely not be able to leave the ruins space at any time for supply and recovery as they did at the beginning. The more energy they consume on the periphery at this moment, the fewer means they can use inside.
The only good thing is that pure mental isolation does not consume a lot of mental energy, but it is more troublesome to have to dedicate part of your mind to maintain it at all times.
All the way in, from time to time, sporadic undead skeletons with no eyes would rush up, and they would be immediately dealt with by the shadow skeletons on guard outside.
Occasionally, there are skeletal undead that are stronger, reaching five and six stars, but they are not large-scale, and it is not difficult to deal with them.
Therefore, there are not many opportunities for Chu Xin and others to take action.
Most of the skeletal undead have died out in the warm welcome of the first group of people who came in. There are not many skeletal undead left on the plain. There are only three or two kittens, which do not pose much of a threat.
One after another, they are delivered to your door, but they are just supplements for the undead under Friday's command.
Chu Xin rode a skeleton leopard, his eyes wandering, and his mind could never forget the battle with the skeletal undead.
In the past, he actually didn't have much idea about the number of millions. He probably heard the most about the million-strong army that was boasted in many places. Today he finally saw it.
Millions of skeletons and undead are really a frightening number. I wonder where the mad lich got so many corpses from.
Maybe it was a war, or maybe it was the massacre of a certain world, no one could tell.
Chu Xin never thought that he had killed so many undead. The battles with the Zerg and the undead world in the past had never been as terrifying as today.
In the future, he can also brag that he is a lord who has defeated an army of one million. Although they are cannon fodder undead, the number is real, just a lot more.
While thinking wildly, a black area jumped out of the water on the horizon.
Chu Xin perked up and urged the team to move faster.
But what he never expected was that it took nearly an hour for the distance that seemed not far away to finally approach under full marching conditions.
Chu Xin didn't expect that she would almost die while looking at the forest.
On the horizon, the black area gradually became clear as it continued to approach, and one could vaguely see thick and tall dark trees stretching into a huge forest.
In the forest, the trees are all black, with black leaves and black trunks intertwined with shadows, making it look extremely eerie.
These pitch-black trees are exactly the Demon Soul Wood, and the entire Black Mist Forest is made up of this Demon Soul Wood.
The body of the demon soul tree is extremely tall, often more than ten meters high, and its branches and leaves are so dense that no light can shine into the entire forest.
At this moment, the entire Black Mist Forest seemed to have no fog at all. It seemed very quiet and no sound could be heard.
This kind of scene may be called weird in the normal world, but in this world of the undead, it is a very appropriate normal scene.
The team soon reached the outside of the Black Mist Forest, and Chu Xin raised his hand to stop the team.
With the golden villain as a pioneer, Chu Xin knew very well that the black mist forest in front of him was very strange. If he didn't understand the other party's strange methods in advance, he would easily get caught if he entered it rashly.
"It's incredible that there are plants with undead attributes." Bingmeng sighed. She had never heard of plants that could grow in the world of the undead.
Atfield's eyes were full of fanatical light. Although he did not recognize the trees in front of him, it did not prevent him from guessing that these were special varieties cultivated by the mad lich.
"Do any of you know these trees?"
Chu Xin looked around but didn't get the answer he wanted. Whether it was the well-informed Bing Meng or the scholar-level Atfield, they were all immersed in the scene in front of them.
Since no one knows him, he can only slowly test it out.
Judging from the feedback from the golden villain, there are two points in the Black Mist Forest that deserve more attention. On the one hand, the vision is constantly exploited, and on the other hand, the enemy who finally kills the golden villain.
The latter should be considered only after encountering it, while the former, Chu Xin guessed, was inseparable from these demon soul trees.
At his signal, Atfield summoned an iron skeleton and approached it, staggering to the side of a demon tree.
The first thing Chu Xin wants to test is whether these demon soul trees have consciousness or the ability to fight back.
The iron-skeleton skeleton slowly swayed closer. The Demonic Soul Wood in the forest never made any movement. It stood quietly without showing any signs of consciousness.
"Try two cuts." Chu Xin said.
He wanted to see whether the demon soul wood was a dead object without consciousness or a living body with the ability to move. This was very important.
Chu Xin's heart is more inclined to the latter, because the golden villain went deep into the black mist forest for a long time before he was attacked for the first time. The possibility of these demon soul trees taking action is not high.
"Peng", the corroded iron knife in the hand of the iron-skeletal skeleton struck hard on the demon soul wood.
The iron knife was embedded in half, and the demon soul wood was as tough as a normal tree. The iron skeleton only made a small scar.
There was no reaction from the demon soul wood, but Chu Xin was still worried. He directly sent two five-star skeleton warriors and arranged the logging tools. Chu Xin was ready to completely cut down the demon soul wood and take a look.
If Yaohunmu really had consciousness, he would definitely be unable to restrain himself from taking action in the face of this threat of death.
"Peng, Peng", accompanied by the sound of the ax blade hitting the tree, and with the vigorous swing of the skeleton warrior, the demon soul tree was quickly chopped down.
From beginning to end, Yaohunmu showed no reaction.
Chu Xin breathed a sigh of relief and then approached with Atfield, Bingmeng, Friday and others.
Judging from the texture of the chopped trees of the Demon Soul Wood, it still has the characteristics that a tree should have. The circles of tree texture, except for the gray and black color, do not look much different from normal trees.
But what is outrageous is that the entire tree does not show any vitality, but is lingering with death, giving people an extremely conflicting feeling.
Chu Xin asked the skeleton warrior to cut off a section and tried to collect it. Suddenly, a type of three-star wood called demon soul wood appeared in the warehouse.
The quality is not high, and apart from having the aura that the undead like, there is nothing special about it.
Perhaps the biggest role of this wood is to build a wooden house for Friday that he likes.
Chu Xin glanced at Atfield beside him and nodded. After receiving the signal, Atfield knelt down and reached out to touch the Demonic Soul Wood, closing his eyes to feel it.
Soon, he opened his eyes and walked to a nearby demon soul tree that was growing normally.
The mist-like gray death energy quickly floated out from his hands and penetrated into the body of the Demon Soul Wood. He was analyzing this magical undead plant in a unique way.
After a long time, Atfield opened his eyes. There was a strong look of doubt in his eyes. He hesitated and said, "These trees should have been cultivated by resentful souls and have a very weird pollution ability. Can interfere with the movement of power.”
As he spoke, he withdrew the gray death energy that had penetrated into the body of the demon soul tree. It could be clearly seen that there were some black spots on it.
"Look, in this state, the difficulty of controlling my energy greatly increases, and I may even lose control." Atfield explained while disconnecting from the gray death energy.
These black spots were so weird that he didn't dare to take them back into his body.
Chu Xin showed a look of understanding. Perhaps the black spots produced by these demon soul trees are the origin of the word "black mist" in the black mist forest.
As the golden man continued to go deeper, he encountered the erosion of these black fogs, and finally his perception ability was infinitely close to zero.
With a somewhat inquiring mind, Chu Xin cast his gaze into the depths of the black mist forest, and under his control, a ray of spiritual power headed towards the black mist forest.
Sure enough, before this ray of spiritual power penetrated very far, black spots like Atfield began to appear. Chu Xin felt that this ray of spiritual power was gradually becoming disordered and difficult to control.
The characteristics of the demon soul wood are very weird, and it can even affect spiritual power. I am afraid that not only that, but even the light, air and other media in the black mist forest have been contaminated by this weird ability.
"Undead things are so disgusting!" Bingmeng now stopped being surprised at new species such as undead plants and turned into disgust.
Atfield smiled awkwardly and did not answer, but his gaze towards Demon Soul Wood was undoubtedly a little more fiery.
This kind of thing is really valuable for research.
Chu Xin took a deep breath, looked at Atfield, frowned and asked: "Is there a solution to the pollution ability of the demon soul wood?"
"This is my first time coming into contact with this kind of strange power. If you give me some time to study it, I should have a way to crack it." Atfield replied while stroking the demon soul wood.
"how long?"
"A week, no, five days!"
Chu Xin shook his head. Five days was too long for him.
This has been delayed for such a long time before we have reached the main area of the Crazy Lich Laboratory. Now, the time period is too long, and Chu Xin doesn't want to wait so long.
Judging from the information he received before him, he was not inclined to explore directly into the forest.
Because there are unknown enemies that have not yet appeared in the black mist forest, entering it rashly, not to mention whether the pollution ability will cause subsequent effects, in this state of almost no vision, it is impossible to deal with the surprise attack of the enemy in the dark.
Currently, there are two methods he is considering.
One is to directly destroy the past and create an open avenue through the black mist forest.
The second is to let the iron scales come on stage and dig through the ground.
Both methods remain theoretical for the time being, and whether they can be implemented in detail remains to be verified.
Chu Xin decided to take a three-pronged approach. Atfield would conduct research first. Even if the power of the demon soul wood could not be cracked, it would be possible to study the principle of generating this power.
This kind of weird pollution energy can still be used somewhere.
On the other hand, Tie Lian can also start the digging project. He has already hit a wall on the plain. Chu Xin is not sure whether he will hit a wall again in the Black Mist Forest.
This last route is ruined.
There are many directions for destruction, such as burning, slashing... there are many methods, and the specific implementation still has to be based on the characteristics of the demon soul wood itself.
Chu Xin took out a piece of demon soul wood and tore open a fireball scroll. A fireball the size of an egg fluttered on the demon soul wood and quickly extinguished.
Demonic Soul Wood does not have the flammable characteristics of normal trees. You must know that even if the fireball technique is affected by the environment, the temperature of the fireball condensed by magic is not low. In this case, Demonic Soul Wood was not ignited, which only means that Demonic Soul Wood is not ignited. Really non-flammable.
Then, Chu Xin tried several other elements of energy, but they had no effect. Even the light spells had no effect.
Do we really have to cut them off one by one?
Chu Xin had a headache. Although the demon soul wood was not too difficult to cut down, if he wanted to open a spacious avenue in the black mist forest, he would need to cut down an unknown number of trees.
"Let them chop it down first!" Chu Xin sighed, took out all the logging tools from the warehouse, and let Friday's undead men start work.
Now he can't think of any good solution for the time being. Before Atfield comes up with an effective solution, he will use stupid methods first.
More than thirty skeleton leopard mages whose strength had been upgraded to five stars all took action to recruit a large number of skeletons to join in the logging work.
The felling passage is tentatively determined to be a five-meter-wide avenue, which is roughly the width of four to five demon soul trees.
The cannon fodder skeletons started work vigorously, but some things were discovered on the underground Iron Scale side.
Underground, near each Demonic Soul Tree, there are a large number of skeletons. They are not resurrectable undead, but pure corpses. These Demonic Soul Trees grow on these corpses.
These skeletons are as black as ink. They also have those weird energies on their bodies, and the iron scales cannot travel through the ground at all.
The energy of the black mist underground was no less than that on the ground, even after digging dozens of meters underground.
