The ground in the ruins space was not very deep. Iron Scales only dug down nearly thirty or forty meters before reaching its limit.
In this narrow underground area, a large number of black skeletons are buried, and thick roots are rooted in the black skeletons, seeming to be absorbing nutrients.
A large amount of black mist energy floats in the gaps between these black skeletons and roots. Any target that comes close will be involuntarily eroded by them.
Less than five minutes after the iron scales came down, when he climbed up again, the scales on the body were covered with a dense layer of black spots.
The strange thing is that these black spots feel like they are growing in the iron scales, rather than outside the scales, and they cannot be wiped off no matter how hard they are rubbed.
These black spots are the specific manifestation of the erosion of black fog.
Iron Scales did not feel any discomfort, and it would not even know about these things on its scales unless Chu Xin reminded it.
The black spots seem to have no other effect on the iron scales except for changes in appearance.
"Try to put a ground thorn and see." Chu Xin said.
Tie Lin nodded his head and began to gather the ground thorn technique. "Boom", several slender ground thorns stabbed out from the ground. They only rose to a height of less than one meter before stopping.
Needless to say, one can see the effect of the black mist on the iron scales.
Normally, the ground thorns summoned by the normal ground stabbing technique are usually two or three meters high and rise up from the ground in a cone shape. However, the ground thorns summoned by Iron Scale this time are nowhere near as high and appear to have shrunk. Number one.
These black spots caused by the black mist energy do not have no effect on Iron Scales. To be more precise, the only thing that has no effect should be Iron Scales' physical strength, and the transfer and use of various types of energy will be greatly affected. limit.
The specific manifestation is like the shrinking ground thorn just now.
It seems that the black spots show no signs of worsening, but equally, they show no signs of disappearing.
If you don't think of a way to solve it, it is very likely that these black spots can always follow the iron scales.
This discovery made Chu Xin completely put an end to his plan to pass through the black mist forest underground. Until he found a way to eliminate the energy of the black mist, there was no need to consider underground passage.
The black mist energy has strong adhesion and is difficult to remove. Once it is contaminated, it will be very troublesome.
Iron Scale's half-skilled magic can ignore the influence of the black mist, but Chu Xin cannot.
Not only him, but Bingmeng, Atfield, and Friday, all of them cannot ignore the influence of black mist energy. After all, black mist erodes not only magic power, but also spiritual power.
Moreover, no one can guarantee now that the influence of these black mist energies is nothing more than that.
Perhaps, as time goes by, it will further deteriorate.
Iron Scales has now become a standard experimental subject, lying alone on the side, waiting for the changes in the black spots.
Chu Xin sighed. One of the three roads was blocked before it even started. It was really uncomfortable.
While he was distressed, his expression suddenly changed, and the next second, a sound broke through the air in the jungle.
A short black spear flew out from the jungle and fell into the group of skeletons who were cutting down the demon soul wood, directly smashing it into pieces of bones.
"Enemy attack!"
Friday quickly issued the order, and the Sword and Shield Skeletons, who had been on alert, quickly stepped forward to protect the retreat of the ordinary skeletons.
In fact, to be more precise, it should be retreating while protecting the logging tools in the hands of ordinary skeletons.
It doesn't matter how many of these cannon fodder skeletons die. What really matters are the logging axes and logging saws. Once the skeletons are dead, they can be used again at any time. However, if the logging tools are damaged, Chu Xin has no way to make another batch on site.
"Whoosh", in less than three seconds, the roar sounded again in the jungle.
This time, the Sword and Shield Skeleton, which had been prepared in advance, resisted most of the attacks.
At the same time, the skeleton archers and skeleton spear throwers followed each other's attack trajectory and launched a counterattack toward the darkness in the forest.
This wave of counterattack immediately disrupted the rhythm of the opponent's third wave of attacks.
"Retreat and lure the opponent out!" Chu Xin looked at Shen Rumo
In the darkness, he suddenly ordered that he wanted to see if these attackers had wisdom, or were just instinctive undead like the skeletal undead.
Moreover, the Black Mist Forest belongs to the opponent's home field. If you enter rashly, you may only get what the opponent wants.
The undead group slowly receded like a tide. The long-range team maintained long-range suppression, and the spears in the forest became sparse.
Soon, the team pushed forward to a position about a hundred meters away from the black mist forest. This distance was difficult to reach by throwing spears.
If the opponent wants to continue attacking, they must leave the forest.
In the darkness, there were shadows, and figures one after another flew out of the darkness quickly.
This is a group of spider-like monsters, at least two and a half meters tall. The lower body is a spider with eight spider legs on the ground, but the upper body is a human-like body, covered in black armor.
Each of their hands held a short spear, and their scarlet eyes were full of manic killing intent.
Spider Spirit Knight, five-star undead!
Chu Xin quickly found out the information about these monsters, and they were not weak at all.
These spider spirit knights are undead creatures that live in the black mist forest, and can also be regarded as the guardians of this forest.
So when Chu Xin destroyed the demon soul wood, he immediately touched their nerves and killed them from the depths of the forest.
Spider Spirit Knight's attack method is a combination of distance and near. He is good at both long-range spear throwing and close combat. He comes and goes like the wind, especially in the jungle, and is extremely flexible.
At this time, a large number of angry spider spirit knights rushed towards Chu Xin.
The eight spider legs on their lower bodies moved quickly, quickly closing the distance with the undead army. The short spears in their hands exuded rich black energy.
As undead creatures that live in the black mist forest all year round, they have completely adapted to the black mist energy and have certain abilities to use it.
Chu Xin looked at the spider spirit knights who came over and smiled. These undead creatures have a little wisdom, but not much.
A wave of long-range attacks poured down, and the Spider Spirit Knight quickly dodged. His flexible body evaded most of the attacks, but his speed was invisibly slowed down a lot.
The Sword and Shield Skeletons holding round shields took the initiative to meet them, and the Spider Spirit Knight crashed into them, knocking over several Sword and Shield Skeletons. But soon, more Sword and Shield Skeletons surged forward, intercepting the Spider Spirit Knight. Come down.
The five-star sword and shield skeleton is not weak in its own strength, and it is equipped with equipment produced by the dwarves, so it is not afraid of the charge of the Spider Spirit Knight.
The round shield accurately blocked the attack of the spider spirit knight's short spear, and the short knife in his hand moved towards the spider spirit knight's slender spider legs.
However, the next second, the Spider Spirit Knight showed his amazing jumping ability. He suddenly jumped up high.
Their target is clear, long-range troops in the rear.
Suddenly, behind the Sword and Shield Skeleton, a row of spears suddenly raised up, stabbing at the Spider Spirit Knight in mid-air.
The movements of the spider spirit knights were nimble, but the prepared spear skeletons moved faster. One after another, the spider spirit knights were picked down from mid-air, and the sword and shield skeletons below swarmed up.
Not tall enough, the Sword and Shield Skeleton ignored the Spider Spirit Knight's upper body and slashed at the spider legs below the Spider Spirit Knight.
With the spider's leg injured, the Spider Spirit Knight's movement speed was immediately restricted and he became nothing more than meat on the chopping board.
A small number of spider spirit knights broke through the blockade of the skeleton warriors and encountered the stronger dark warrior, the advanced form of the dark warrior.
Jumping up with a big sword, three or five spider spirit knights are simply not enough.
There were also a few smart ones that came to Friday. On the way, they were hit by a bone whip from Friday and lay on the ground for a long time without recovering.
The battle soon subsided. Chu Xin was very interested in these spider spirit knights and asked Friday to try to conquer some of them.
But surprisingly, the soul fire of the spider spirit knight was not found. These weird spider undead seemed to be very different from the ordinary undead.
There is no answer to this question yet. Perhaps only their creator, the Mad Lich, knows the answer.
There is no time to waste here, except leaving a half-broken Spider Knight
Doing research for Atfield, the remaining Chu Xin ordered Friday to kill them one by one.
"There should be more trees in the forest, keep cutting down trees and irritate them!" Chu Xin looked into the depths of the jungle and ordered the cannon fodder logging brigade to continue working.
The Black Mist Forest is like home to the Spider Spirit Knight, and the relationship between the elves and the normal forest should be the same.
They are not very intelligent and cannot judge the situation like elves. Once the Demon Soul Wood is in danger, they will attack.
The issue of wisdom is a flaw for most undead. Except for high-level undead and those who have awakened their past memories, they basically rely on instinct to act.
If someone destroys their home, then kill them. There is only such a simple logical chain in Spider Spirit Knight's mind.
With this wave of seduction and advancement, until night came, the spider spirit knights in the black mist forest were finally cleared away, and there were no more enemies that interfered with the logging brigade's felling of the demon soul wood.
One demon soul tree after another fell to the ground, and Chu Xin spent another half of the night to forcefully carve out a wide passage in the black mist forest.
The skeletons that cut down the demon soul wood were all eroded black by the black mist, as if they were carved from the same mold as the black skeletons underground.
But even so, their movements were not affected in any way, including the iron scales. After such a long time, the black spots on their bodies still existed, but there was no sign of expansion.
Chu Xin led the team into the black mist forest. The road was five to six meters wide. As long as you were careful not to get too close to both sides, you would not be affected by the black mist.
This conclusion is also based on Atfield's research results.
The black mist energy is generated by the Demon Soul Wood. After it appears, it must depend on a certain target. Once it loses its dependence on the target, it will automatically disappear.
For example, the interrupted mental perception energy and dissipated magic power will quickly dissipate without these carriers.
The black mist near the Demon Soul Wood will not exceed about one meter at most, so the avenue in the center is extremely safe.
"Tip, you explore an unknown area and gain 2 exploration points, and your exploration level increases."
"Tip, you explore an unknown area and gain 2 exploration points, and your exploration level increases."
…
Chu Xin's golden little man explored all the way and took the lead to leave the black mist forest and discovered the castle hidden behind the forest. This castle was the main activity area of the mad lich in this experimental space.
Therefore, the most valuable items in the entire ruins space will definitely appear here.
I just don’t know what will be left after such a long time, but there should still be some left behind.
With this thought, Chu Xin quickly controlled the golden man to enter the castle.
"Tip, you discovered the mad lich's castle, gained 80 exploration points, and increased exploration by 10%."
"Tip, the current exploration level has reached 50%, you get an important reminder: there is a core in any space. When you find this core and control it, you will gain control of this space."
"Tip, when the exploration level reaches 100%, you will get the mad lich's experiment log."
"Tip, you encountered the defenders of the castle and were killed by them."
"Tip, you have died and will be automatically resurrected again in twenty minutes. The number of resurrections remaining today is 1!"
A series of prompts appeared, and before Chu Xin had time to see them clearly, the golden villain returned to the embrace of death.
A new day is about to arrive, and the number of deaths will be refreshed soon. It's not a big deal to die once. The only pity is that there is no time to collect information about the castle guards.
After entering the castle, the exploration level finally reached 50%, and a rather surprising piece of information was unlocked in the prompt.
This ruin space can be controlled if its space core is found.
Although this is a space for the undead, it is not too big, but in any case, it is a vast space. If it can be captured, it will definitely be beneficial to the territory without any harm.
However, Chu Xin was thinking more about another issue at this time.
"There is a core in any space. When you find this core and control
It, you will gain control of this space. "
"So, what about the Dark Place?"
"What rights do the controllers of space have?"
A terrible thought suddenly appeared in Chu Xin's heart. Perhaps, the dark place is like the ruins of the crazy lich, a space controlled by a certain person or a certain force.
The more you know, the more terrifying this world becomes, and the easier it is to fall into terror. He suddenly understood the meaning of this sentence deeply in his heart.
The dark place may not really be a good place.
Chu Xin took a deep breath and forced herself to stop her crazy and divergent thinking. No matter what, the strength of her territory was still the most important.
If you completely occupy the Dark Land and make it your own, you won't have so many worries.
