Snapping turtles and parasitic vines, these two creatures appear in places where they should not appear. This in itself proves that a space rift once appeared on this small island.
"Gao Xian, Sun Lize, and Lu Qian, you three are responsible for the safety of the three people at the Psychic Research Institute. If there is a battle, you must take Miss Zhao and these two researchers to a safe area as soon as possible...
Gao Xian, carry Miss Zhao on your back, and we will set off immediately to the center of the island." Team leader Jin Zhenghao raised his hand and issued new instructions.
The investigation team set off again, and this time everyone accelerated their pace. With the help of the locating spiritual weapon, they quickly rushed to the center of the island.
As mentioned at the beginning, the weather on the island changes regularly. As time goes by, rain will inevitably come again. However, compared with the previous thunderstorms, the intensity of this rainfall is really not enough for everyone present.
What kind of.
At most, the light is a bit dim, and you need to spend more energy paying attention to the surrounding environment.
Occasionally, you will encounter some wandering small groups of strange animals. After all, this is close to the depths of the island, but don't worry.
The Malay investigators were well prepared for this. They gave advance warning every time, and they would avoid it if they could. If not, they would surround and kill immediately.
There are also strange beasts with vines growing on their bodies. Basically, the closer you are to the center of the island, the more of these strange beasts there are.
Taking this opportunity, Lin Fei also had a general understanding of the strength of these investigators in Malay.
Especially the team leader Jin Zhenghao, his strength is still lagging behind some domestic investigators who can handle large-scale incidents, but he is no weaker than some of the investigators Lin Fei had met in South Vietnam before.
At the same time, Lin Fei was also secretly observing Miss Zhao, who was lying on Gao Xian's back without saying a word all the way. He wanted to know what kind of supernatural powers the latter had awakened.
"It's almost here, everyone prepare to change equipment!" Jin Zhenghao reminded, and Lin Fei immediately stopped.
His eyes passed through the hazy rain curtain and fell on the swamp ahead full of thick and long vines. The rain fell on those tall and lush vines, and a large curtain of water fell down.
The origin of the name of this vine marsh in the center of the island, or what makes this area special, can be divided into two parts.
First, the width and depth of this swamp are extremely exaggerated. According to previous detections, the deepest point is close to a hundred meters at least. The entire swamp area is extremely large and is home to a large number of strange beasts.
The second is the unique plant in this swamp, the giant wavy vine. This vine takes root in the depths of the swamp and covers a large area over the entire swamp. Because of its staggered and curved shape, it looks like waves.
That's how it got its name.
The destination of the investigation team is on the edge of this vine marsh, where there is a stronghold built by the Malays.
The safest way to get closer is to bypass Fujinuma and take the overland route. In fact, this was also the original plan.
From just now, Miss Zhao, who had been lying on Gao Xian's back, kept urging the team, asking them to go to the stronghold immediately.
Even if you risk crossing Fujinuma!
If anyone else had said this, they would have definitely received a blank stare.
It should be known that the group of people had already exhausted a lot of energy along the way, and the risk of crossing Fujinuma was almost equivalent to surfing in the sea where they encountered a swarm of sharks.
It happened that the person who made this request was Ms. Zhao, who was the most valued person in this trip. After a short period of thinking, Jin Zhenghao gave a direct answer in the affirmative.
The way to cross the vine swamp is naturally not to swim across it, but to step on the wave vines on the swamp. Jin Zhenghao and Lin Fei can fly, while the others have to rely on jetpacks.
The risks ahead are unknown. At Jin Zhenghao's request, Lin Fei became a pathfinder.
Near the shore of the swamp, Lin Fei found a more suitable place to stay and jumped onto a wave vine. Only by stepping on it personally could he feel that this plant was actually much thicker than imagined. Most of the wave vines were thicker than expected.
The diameter is about 2 meters.
Due to the watering of the rain, the surface of the vine inevitably became quite smooth. In order to ensure that it would not suddenly slide down, Lin Fei quietly activated his power. Every time he put his foot down, a ball of flame would appear on the sole of his shoe, drying out the smooth vine.
He looked around to make sure there were no strange beasts lurking around, and then turned his attention to the swamp at his feet.
The water surface ripples under the beating of raindrops, making it difficult to see whether there is anything hidden under the water surface.
He turned around and gave a signal, and the team behind him quickly followed up. Except for Jin Zhenghao who still showed ease, the rest of the people were more or less nervous. It was probably because it was their first time to cross Fujinuma, which made them a little nervous when moving.
Be careful.
The fearless Lin Fei was quite professional when exploring the road. He kept changing his position to ensure that he could observe more situations and not miss some nooks and crannies that might hide dangers.
"Thanks to Mr. Lin Fei, he's so awesome."
Wu Hua, who was controlling the jetpack at the back, looked at the man in front of him who was not affected by the environment at all, flickering among the wavy vines in the rain. From the corner of his eye, he looked around at the investigation team members who were obviously uncomfortable.
"Hide, there is something approaching under the water." While Wu Hua was thinking, Miss Zhao, who was still on Gao Xian's back, suddenly straightened up and warned loudly.
Her condition seemed to be gradually deteriorating, so much so that her voice became hoarse when her voice was slightly louder.
Without any hesitation, Gao Xian, who heard Miss Zhao's words, immediately repeated it. For a moment, the entire team stopped. Lin Fei at the front looked back in surprise. You must know that he didn't notice anything now.
arrive.
"Everyone gathers, Lu Qian is ready to disguise." Jin Zhenghao, the team leader, said.
Whether they are researchers or investigators, they seem to have unconditional trust in Ms. Zhao's judgment.
Lin Fei had no choice but to return immediately, squatting on a relatively secluded wave vine with a few others, and looked at Lu Qian, who suddenly became the core of the team.
The girl still looked shy, she opened her hands, and in an instant, a layer of translucent bubbles rose around everyone, wrapping them all in.
Is this thing useful? Looking at the bubble that was only half a meter away from him, as if it could be popped with just a poke, Lin Fei somewhat doubted its practicality.
"Mr. Lin Fei, Lu Qian's ability is to create bubbles with various functions. I have read her information. They are disguise bubbles, which can achieve the effect of invisibility to a certain extent." Noticing Lin Fei's confusion, Wang
Zhui took the initiative to move forward and explained enthusiastically.
After all this action, he was convinced of the powerful foreign aid from China in front of him, and now he just wanted to build a good relationship with him.
"That's it." Lin Fei nodded to express his gratitude and glanced at the short-haired girl Lu Qian again.
Although this girl's abilities have not shown any aggression so far, her auxiliary abilities can be said to be quite exaggerated.
Defense, camouflage, flight... In this extreme environment, it is like a panacea.
The water surface on the right front suddenly appeared strange.
Lin Fei, who was thinking, turned around and stared at the rising water over there.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
After a series of loud noises as the water broke out, a large shadow instantly fell over the head.
Everyone raised their heads and looked up, first they saw a large handful of water splashes falling suddenly, and the creature on top made everyone's eyes suddenly widen.
I saw dozens of "fish" with super-large translucent membrane wings, a body length of at least three meters, and black and purple lines all over the body, flying in the air, flapping their wings, and flying towards the direction they came from.
When these flying fish passed overhead, Lin Fei discovered that two of the flying fish had parasitic vines on them that were exactly the same as those he had seen before.
This is far from the end!
With the appearance of this group of flying fish, Fujinuma, which was originally peaceful in the rain, suddenly began to boil.
Through the gaps between the wavy vines, Lin Fei discovered that the strange beasts living in the swamp were fluttering like crazy for some reason, and they were swarming towards them.
The alien beasts that appeared behind them were getting bigger and bigger, and Lin Fei even saw a few smaller snapping turtle alien beasts that smashed through the wave vines and appeared in the distance.
There is no doubt that they are escaping from the vine marsh.
What are they afraid of?
A steady drizzle.
Fujinuma Neiko's sudden uprising of alien beasts made the already smooth operation even more difficult.
A large number of wave vines broke under the impact of the alien beasts, which inevitably produced a series of chain reactions. Many places where they stood lost their support points. They seemed safe, but in fact they would collapse as soon as they stepped on them and fall directly into the swamp.
Not to mention that there are many beasts wandering around in the swamp that are driven into a frenzy by the difficulty of escaping.
Lin Fei half-crouched on the wave vines and could see the surging black shadows under the swamp at a glance. He knew in his heart that if someone fell in at this time, they would be surrounded. The alien beasts that were already on the verge of going crazy were not picky about their food.
Just staying like this won't do the situation any good.
Lu Qian's ability is not enough to support her in maintaining a large area of disguise for a long time. If she wants to keep moving during this process, the difficulty will be even higher.
Now it's up to Lin Fei.
After the first wave of alien beast riots barely subsided, Lin Fei took the initiative to break away from the disguise and continued to explore the environment ahead.
Compared with before, Lin Fei obviously has more things to pay attention to now, but his strong strength also gives him the confidence and ability to boldly explore.
"Bang!"
He smashed open a one-meter-sized strange insect with one punch, and pressed down the vine with both legs to confirm that it could bear enough weight. Lin Fei made a gesture sideways and turned his eyes to other wavy vines nearby.
Just as he was about to take off again, his eyes accidentally glanced at the insect beast that he had just knocked down on the swamp surface not far away.
A wave of water suddenly rolled up around it, and then Lin Fei saw a slender, light blue fluorescent tentacle protruding from the water, spinning around the corpse of the insect and beast.
"Huh?" Lin Fei suddenly showed a surprised expression on his face.
The insect corpses on the water were still there, and he clearly saw a group of pale golden psychic light being dragged into the swamp.
"Don't come over yet!" Lin Fei stopped an investigator who was about to move forward and asked in confusion, "I just saw a creature that can absorb the remaining spiritual energy of alien beasts. Do you know what it is?"
?"
When Lin Fei thought about it, a creature with this kind of ability could never be an ordinary existence. Although he could not sense its spiritual energy fluctuations, he guessed that this creature would at least not be weaker than a snapping turtle!
Because of this, Lin Fei needed to figure out the origin of this thing in advance.
The investigator was probably also shocked by Lin Fei's question, and hurriedly turned around to ask the members of the rear Psychic Research Institute.
"Psionically draining creatures?"
Wu Hua, who had just been adjusting his jetpack, was stunned when he heard this. He looked at the deep swamp at his feet and remembered something. His expression was quite ugly, and he continued.
"The previous investigation team did find some strange corpses of strange animals in the Fujinuma area. There were no injuries on the whole body, but all vital signs were lost. However, we did not find the existence of the cause of this phenomenon."
This means that there is indeed some kind of alien beast in Fujinuma that can plunder spiritual energy? It is not an alien species from the spiritual world.
Everyone present looked at each other for a moment, while Lin Fei stared thoughtfully at the area where the tentacle had just disappeared, "This small island transformed by spiritual energy gives me more and more the feeling of being in the spiritual world."
"Continue to act and leave the Fuji Swamp area as soon as possible. I will observe the situation on the swamp surface." Jin Zhenghao spoke to suppress the chaotic emotions of everyone. They were not here for biological observation.
To be honest, it is already troublesome enough and should not be added to the problem.
Jin Zhenghao did not expect that this visit to the island to investigate would actually lead to so many troubles. At the same time, he also admired his superiors.
At that time, we decisively requested assistance from China, and this powerful foreign aid came. Otherwise, with so many changes encountered along the way, it would be absolutely impossible for our investigation team to be safe and sound until now.
Lin Fei had no intention of pursuing that strange creature in front of so many people. The most important thing was to complete the task at hand first.
However, it turns out that most things will not change due to human will.
The investigation team had just started on the road again, and not too far away, they heard a series of sounds mixed with wailing and splashing water from behind.
Dozens of fluorescent tentacles that were exactly the same as those Lin Fei had seen before had sprung out from all over the Fujinuma under the curtain of rain. They were swaying in the wind and rain and beating everywhere in the Fujinuma.
The corpses of small snapping turtles and strange beasts overturned, crushing large wavy vines and causing turbulent water waves. The remaining spiritual energy in their bodies was divided by several tentacles.
Vibrating the dark green translucent membrane wings, a giant catfish-like beast broke through the wave vines, flew into the air, and was swung by a tentacle. It used the momentum to climb no more than two or three meters, and then fell back.
These alien beasts usually act like tyrants in this alienated island, but now faced with these fluorescent tentacles, they seem to have lost the ability to resist and are allowed to be slaughtered by the other party.
Seeing this scene, the Malay group dared not stop and could only speed up and run.
