The forest is quiet at night, with the occasional roar of unknown beasts or the singing of birds such as nightingales.
Through the gaps in the leaves, you can see the bright moon hanging in the night.
Three hammocks have been set up.
While in the oasis, Zhen Jinyi became the leader of the Spear Scorpion and hunted a large number of acid green lizards. With the stomach pouches of these green lizards acting as water bags, Cang Xu and others concentrated their labor on making hemp ropes and coarse cloth.
They first made hemp ropes of different thicknesses, and then used the thinnest hemp ropes to weave them into the simplest coarse cloth.
Using these coarse cloths and hemp ropes, they made hammocks.
Because there were few supplies in the oasis and the amount of labor was huge, Zhen Jin and others only made three hammocks in the end.
However, even though there are five of them, they don't use that many.
Every night, at least two people were arranged to keep vigil. There were five people in the small group, and there were exactly three left to enjoy the three hammocks.
Materials were tight, so the three hammocks were the precious collective property of this small team.
In the center of the three hammocks is a burning bonfire.
Without the influence of the wind, the bonfire emitted orange light, crackling from time to time, and throwing out some sparks.
The surrounding area has been carefully inspected by Zhen Jin, and there are no signs of fire poisonous bee swarms.
Acupuncture almost lost his life due to fire poison, so naturally he pays great attention to this aspect.
But in fact, even if Zidi informed Zhenjin about the existence of Fire Venomous Bees in time, Zhenjin, who had just woken up, would not be able to explore the surrounding area.
Speaking of which, Cangxu and Cyanobacteria's exploration team didn't know about Fire Venomous Bees before they met Acupuncture. They repeatedly lit fires in the forest and never encountered attacks from Fire Venomous Bees.
Dinner had just been served, and all five of us were very satisfied.
Currently, the food reserves in the team are sufficient. Even after coming out of the oasis, the five of them rarely replenished new food and water along the way.
They made a lot of preparations in the oasis.
When we arrived in the forest area, the supplies were far more abundant than in the desert, and everyone's worries about food and water were reduced.
Cang Xu lit the bonfire and stared at the map in his hand. He was old and his eyesight was failing. He held the sheepskin map in one hand and held the lens in the other hand, holding it close to his eyes to see.
Sometimes, he would look away from the map and murmur to himself, as if he was calculating something. He would also cooperate with his hands, drawing criss-crossing lines on the grass.
Sometimes, he would take out the charcoal pencil and carefully add a few black lines on the sheepskin map.
The charcoal pencil he used was made by burning one end of the wood black and then sharpening it for use.
After studying for a while, Cangxu raised his head, smiled, and reported to Zhenjinhui: "Master Zhenjin, we are making rapid progress. According to my estimation, as long as we continue walking, we will be able to reach us within a day or two.
Entering the forest location."
This was mainly because with the protection of needle gold, the entire team advanced much faster than Cang Xu expected.
"I have some bad news here - we don't have much pink potion on hand." Zidi was grinding the materials, and after hearing Cang Xu's words, she said.
The materials she was grinding were all collected along the way during the day.
These include the feathers of iron-feathered birds, blood, green-spotted moss that poisons white buds, etc.
The forest is rich in resources, which cannot be compared to the desert.
However, the main material used to make the pink potion is an ore that emits heat and light. This ore is also the food of monkey-tailed brown bears.
Zidi did not collect this material.
The exploration team needs this pink potion to mark along the way. This will not only prevent people from getting lost in the forest, but sometimes it can also serve as a signal for help.
"How long can it last?" Zhen Jin asked.
Zidi had already calculated it, and now she answered directly: "According to the most economical method, it can still last for three days."
Zhen Jin nodded slightly, and after thinking for a while, he replied: "There is enough time. There is no need to deliberately search for ores. Our first goal is to get back to the original location."
No one has an opinion.
After this series of events, Zhenjin has supreme authority and influence in this five-person team.
After another discussion, Cangxu, Zidi and Baiya all lay down in the hammock to sleep.
Tonight is acupuncture, and cyanobacteria are also responsible for keeping vigil.
In the desert, two people take turns keeping watch every night, with one person responsible for the first half of the night and the other responsible for the second half of the night.
But when we got to the forest, because the trees were thick and the view was blocked, we adjusted it to two people keeping vigil at the same time.
The night is getting darker and darker.
The forest seemed deeper and more terrifying.
Predators tend to be out at night.
This makes the forest at night far more dangerous than during the day.
Blue Algae has a vigilant look on his face, and he will react to the slightest disturbance.
The recovery and addition of white buds and cyanobacteria greatly reduces the burden of acupuncture.
Zhenjin felt energetic. Although he had been leading the way as a pioneer throughout the day, he was also responsible for keeping watch at night.
This is not because his endurance needs to be improved, but because the green lizard eyes are so useful!
The threats lurking in the forest are almost invisible to Zhenjin.
"In terms of practical value, green lizard eyes definitely rank first." Zhen Jin felt deeply.
Without the green lizard eyes, the young knight could only advance slowly step by step, exploring slowly, with his mind tense at all times, passively guarding against sneak attacks from anywhere.
With the green lizard eyes, Zhenjin can detect crises in advance, take the initiative to control the situation, and actively allocate his physical energy and energy.
There is a huge gap between people's physical fitness and energy consumption in passive and active states.
This is a qualitative change.
Squeak!
Suddenly, the screams of animals being attacked came from the forest not far away.
Lan Zao was suddenly startled. The hand that was always on the handle of the knife immediately squeezed it tightly.
But the next moment, a squeaking scream suddenly stopped and never appeared again.
Lan Zao frowned and looked serious.
Without a specific bloodline, although Lan Zhao is a bronze-level elite, he does not have the ability to see at night. He can only use weak firelight to identify his surroundings.
A little further away, he could only see a mass of darkness, unable to tell whether there was nothing in the darkness, or whether there were wolves or poisonous snakes lurking in the darkness.
In the dark forest, scenes of survival hunting and escape are going on.
The firelight of the temporary camp drove away many wild beasts, but it also seemed to attract some beings.
Something seemed to be moving more and more in the darkness of the forest. Sometimes, it was the sound of dry branches being trampled to pieces. Sometimes, it was the mysterious cry that suddenly became louder.
Blue Algae gradually became nervous, and he felt as if something was slowly and quietly approaching the camp.
"I'll go check it out. If there's something going on, you have to shout loudly in time." Zhen Jin spoke at this time and told Lan Zao.
"Yes, Master." Blue Algae responded immediately.
The needle gold penetrated into the darkness and soon disappeared from the blue algae's sight.
He also doesn't have the ability to see at night, so he activates his core at this time.
The field of vision suddenly changed dramatically.
The basic color of the forest at night is darker, there is no wind, and the active life exudes colors such as light red, orange, fluorescent green, etc., which are more conspicuous than during the day.
During the day, Zhenjin needed human eyes and lizard eyes to match each other. But at night, in the pitch-black forest, human eyes were almost useless, and both of his eyes transformed into lizard pupils.
Zhenjin first patrolled around the camp several times and accurately killed several beasts, temporarily clearing the area of the camp of threats.
Then, he focused on a direction and went deep into the forest.
After reaching a certain distance from the temporary camp, Zhenjin slowly stopped and began to take off his clothes.
He stripped himself naked, then climbed up the tree and carefully placed his clothes among the treetops.
Then, he firmly remembered this location.
If he forgets, he will have no choice but to return to the temporary camp naked. If Zi Di, Cang Xu and the others discover this state, it will definitely be very embarrassing.
He descended to the ground without missing a beat, walked dozens of steps forward, looked around to make sure there was no one else, and then started to activate his core.
The mysterious and strange blood-red demon can surge out from the core of the heart and quickly cover Acupuncture's body.
In a ball of red light, the golden human figure looked like ice and snow collapsing in the sun and turning into a lizard.
The red light quickly dissipated, and the needle gold disappeared from its original location, replaced by an acidic green lizard.
This acid green lizard has strong limbs, a powerful long tail, and green scales all over its body.
Zhenjin observed himself, and he could only see his blurry light green outline in the green lizard's field of vision.
"The field of view has become lower, but it is much higher than that of the Gun Scorpion."
Zhen Jin tried to sniff the air and immediately discovered that the lizard's sense of smell was far more sensitive than that of humans.
"There seems to be...the smell of water in the air?"
He opened his mouth slightly and spit out the huge purple-black snake worm, successfully making a hissing snake sound.
Zhen Jin spread his front and rear legs, controlling the strong lizard body, and walked in the dark forest.
Zhenjin walked very smoothly.
Because the green lizard has four legs, it feels very close to the feeling of a person lying on the ground and crawling on their hands and feet.
Another reason is that this is not the first time Zhenjin has tried to completely transform the green lizard. As early as in the desert, he had changed many times while watching alone late at night.
"But there are still many differences between crawling with human hands and feet." Zhen Jin stopped and silently summed up his experience.
He turned his head and looked behind himself.
The biggest difference is right behind him - the thick lizard tail.
When he transforms into a spear scorpion leader, the scorpion tail is slender and upturned, which has little effect on Zhenjin. But when he transforms into a lizard, the lizard tail is thick, heavy and long, dragging it on the ground becomes an obstacle.
Especially when Zhenjin moves forward with its limbs, the lizard's tail will swing slightly from side to side. This shaking affects the balance of Zhenjin's body. The faster Zhenjin moves forward, the deeper the impact will be.
.
"When the acid green lizard runs, not only its limbs, trunk, and tail all work together. Whether it is jogging or running, it has a perfect movement rhythm, which is a completely natural rhythm."
"The lizard larvae that have just emerged from the eggshell may be very clumsy. But as time goes by, they gradually grow up and experience such activities as jumping on food, escaping, playing and other exercises, and they will naturally master this movement.
Rhythm."
"but I do not have."
"I'm like a baby lizard, just born, but with a mature lizard body."
"Although I used my time at night and practiced many times, I still failed to master the correct way of running the green lizard."
Zhen Jin felt that his tail was in the way, but there was nothing he could do about it.
It's like he also secretly practiced the gun scorpion form, and turning at high speed is still difficult enough.
He is a human after all, and the time it takes to transform into a monster form is too short.
"There is indeed water here." Zhen Jin followed the smell of water and found a small pool.
"As long as I have sufficient training, I will be able to completely master the form of the green lizard at some point in the future!"
Zhenjin encouraged herself in her heart and began to exercise her tail near the waterhole.
He first vigorously swung his thick long tail behind him, making a whistling sound.
Then he started to rush towards a big tree. After passing by the big tree, he swung his tail hard and hit the trunk of the tree.
The trunk of the tree swayed slightly as a result, and the dense branches swayed even more. The leaves rustled, but not a single leaf fell.
Bang bang bang...
In a series of sounds, Zhenjin used trees to train his tail.
After training for a while, he began to change his attack methods.
He first rushed towards a tree, then used all his limbs to change direction suddenly, and used the huge inertia of his body to swing his tail onto the trunk of the tree.
Snapped!
The tree trunk shook, large pieces of bark fell off, and the branches rustled, as if there was a strong wind.
This kind of attack is much more powerful than before.
"With such attack power, even if it is a charging Ranger, I can whip him off the horse and fly away."
"Huh? That's not quite right."
"The lizard has short and stubby limbs. I can't reach the cavalry on horseback."
"Maybe I can try, at the moment when I swing my tail to attack, I push my hind legs on the ground and lift my whole body up, forming a head-down-tail-high posture. In this way, the tail can hit a higher place."
Zhen Jin thought of this and began to try.
As a result, on the first try, he couldn't hold back his strength. When swinging his tail, he kicked off the ground too hard with his hind legs, lifting his entire body and causing the lizard's back to land on the ground.
On the second try, his strength was adjusted incorrectly. The upward pushing force was reduced, but the forward force increased, causing him to plunge into the mud and grass. It was very close to the posture of a dog eating shit.
Zhen Jin stood on the ground on all fours, opened his mouth and spat out mud and grass, then blew out the air from his nose, shook his head for a while, and finally cleaned up his nose and mouth.
The two failed attempts did not discourage him, but instead gave him more motivation to keep trying.
After trying to practice a few more times, he became more and more proficient in the acupuncture movements, but then he thought about it and stopped this training program.
"Although it can hit a higher target, the back half of the body is suspended in the air, causing the force of the tail swing to be much weaker than when the four legs are on the ground."
"And the back half of my body was suspended in the air, allowing me to stay in the air for a short period of time. This flaw is too big."
Zhenjin was familiar with the knight's fighting style and quickly simulated the scene in his mind.
A ranger rushed over, and he transformed into a green lizard and rushed forward. When he was about to get close, he suddenly turned around and swung his tail, raised his back half, and swung his tail towards the ranger.
But at the same time, the ranger thrust his spear forward hard, aiming at...well...the green lizard's buttocks.
At this point in the idea of acupuncture, I no longer want to simulate it any further.
Adjusting back to the tail flick attack method just now, Zhen Jin concentrated on practicing hard.
Hiss...
Until Zhen Jin opened his mouth and gasped for air.
"I think I twisted my tail!"
There was a strong pain in the tail. When he shook his tail slightly, the pain was like a whip covered with iron thorns, hitting Zhen Jin's brain.
In this case, Zhen Jin had to stop the tail training and start the next training.
He squatted on the ground, raised his neck, and his Adam's apple suddenly bulged, forming a round lump.
The round bun rolled and moved from the neck to the mouth.
Zhen Jin took advantage of the situation and opened his mouth wide.
Then the next moment, a ball of green acid spurted out from his mouth.
The acid spray hit a tree accurately.
The thick tree trunks were corroded by the acid, making a squeaking sound and acrid thick smoke.
After a few breaths, a big hole was corroded in the tree trunk, which could no longer support the lush upper section. After a creak, the tree fell to the ground with a roar.
Zhenjin took a few steps back and sprayed continuously towards the surrounding trees.
Almost all of the liquid he sprayed hit the target accurately, except for one of the liquids that brushed against the bark of a tree and fell onto a stone.
After a few breaths, the trees were hit one after another, and the roaring sound was continuous for a while.
The stone that suffered the disaster, even though it was not small, was reduced to nothing. This is normal. The lizard acid can corrode even gold and stone, let alone this ordinary stone. If it is silver-level green lizard acid, black iron-level acid
The Spear Scorpion will also die instantly, and only the Silver Spear Scorpion can resist.
After ejaculating so many times in a row, Zhen Jin also felt weak, his head couldn't help but droop, and his energy and energy were a little sluggish.
Spraying acid is not the green lizard's regular fighting method, it is the green lizard's biggest trump card.
The Green Lizard will not use this trump card unless absolutely necessary.
As for Zhenjin, this long-range weapon is the most suitable for him. Because he also has the precision talent from the Baizhen family. Although he has practiced very little, Zhenjin can spray acid more powerfully than the green lizard.
A lot, it just means shooting wherever you want, almost never misses.
After breathing for a while, Zhen Jin gradually gained some strength again.
His whole body conveyed a feeling of weakness.
The strong limbs felt soft and the lizard's body became heavier.
At the same time, Acupuncture also felt dry in the mouth.
His body is dehydrated.
The green lizard's body contains a large amount of water, so that corrosive acid can be synthesized. This means that after the acid is ejected, the green lizard will fall into a state of dehydration.
Now, even if Needle Gold wants to spray acid, it can't do so for the time being.
Even due to the lack of water in the body, the rate of acid synthesis has plummeted to the bottom.
Zhenjin moved her limbs and came to the edge of the pool.
The pool was not deep, and the green lizard found no underwater creatures in its field of vision.
However, Zhen Jin was cautious and did not take the opportunity to enter the water to exercise the green lizard's swimming ability.
Zhen Jin first stretched out the snake letter and licked some water. When he found that there was no problem, he lowered his head and took a big gulp of water.
A large amount of water flowed into his stomach, and then was stored in the other three stomach bags under Zhen Jin's deliberate control.
"What a thirst quencher."
Acupuncture sighed secretly, and began to actively control the internal organs again, trying to speed up the production of acid.
The water stored in his water stomach was squeezed out and flowed into the poison sac under his neck, where it began to turn into acid.
"With this speed of transformation, in about one night, I can have a bag full of acid. It won't be a problem to shoot more than twenty times in a row like before."
Zhen Jin has now discovered that when he mutated from human form into a complete green lizard, the acid reserve in the poison sac was only half.
After several training sessions, he also discovered the skill of spraying acid.
Under normal circumstances, the green lizard will shoot out its venom fiercely, often with one shot, but it can shoot two or three times at most.
But the needle gold only sprays a small amount at a time, and he deliberately controls the nearby muscles. In this way, the number of shots is greatly increased.
Zhen Jin lowered his head again and opened his mouth to drink water.
This time he absorbed water, which was different from before. He was controlling different organs, tissues and different muscle groups.
This time, the pond water entered his poison sac directly instead of going along the esophagus and into the stomach.
This is the ability of acid green lizards to take drugs.
After suffering the sting of the fat ball flying fish, the green lizards can take drugs from each other to detoxify.
Moreover, the ingested poison is stored in the poison sac, which not only does not endanger other organs of the body, but can also synthesize more violent venom with its own acid.
This situation is not uncommon in nature.
Afterwards, Cang Xu casually mentioned a kind of beetle in the desert. This beetle preys on ants and deliberately collects formic acid. When the beetle encounters its natural enemy, the mongoose, it will spray out the collected formic acid and shoot the mongoose in the face.
This caused the meerkats to flee in panic.
After lying by the pool for a long time without strenuous activity, Zhen Jin felt his body getting cold.
Temperature also has a great impact on the lizard's ability to move.
This is why the green lizards rush to the gold and stone groups at dawn every day to use the temperature of the stones to increase their body temperature. Only after the body temperature rises will they have stronger mobility.
"Tonight's training is almost over."
Zhenjin finally came to those big trees.
Most of these large trees that have fallen to the ground have been corroded, but there are still some treetops and branches and leaves left.
The corrosive ability of acid has been significantly weakened.
After all, under the deliberate control of Zhenjin, the number of consecutive shots is scrambled, but the amount of each ball of acid shot is limited.
Although these trees will definitely be corroded, Zhenjin can't wait any longer.
He touched his right front foot to the remaining surface of the tree trunk, activating his core.
Red light emits, and the red thread wraps around the tree trunk and is recovered almost instantly, leaving only a little carbon ash in place.
Even ordinary trees are still living things.
As long as it is a living body, it can be absorbed by the blood core.
But the magic energy transformed is very small.
After all the tree remains were disposed of, there was no option for Zhenjin's core to turn into a tree.
"The acid destroys the life essence of the trees, so there is very little blood absorption involved."
"If I directly absorb a large number of trees, I should be able to transform into trees eventually."
It's almost time.
Zhenjin returned to the distance, changed into a human form, climbed to the treetop, found his own clothes and put them on.
It is worth mentioning that the leak in the back of his pants has been patched.
It was Zidi who accidentally discovered it, secretly found the needle gold, and helped him mend it.
Return to the temporary camp.
"Master, you are back!" Lan Zao's frown suddenly relaxed when he saw Zhen Jin, and there was obvious admiration in his eyes.
Not long after Zhenjin left, he heard a roar, like the sound of trees falling.
"The master must have caught some ferocious beasts and fought with them."
"With such a violent momentum, the beast lurking in the darkness must be terrifying!"
"But now the master is back. He is unscathed. There is not even a trace of damage or blood on his clothes."
"sharp!"
"He is indeed a person who has mastered the power of the soul."
"Even the darkness that makes you unable to see anything can't stop the master!"
"You know, on this strange island, the master can only rely on the power of the physical body... to really activate the fighting spirit. What would it be like?"
Lan Zao stared at Zhen Jin closely, without blinking, and his eyes became more and more eager.
Zhenjin coughed: "What's going on here?"
"With the help of the owner, the campground is very safe." Lan Zao replied immediately.
Zhen Jin nodded, a little unable to stand the gaze of Lan Zhao: "You stay here and continue patrolling, I will go to the other side to have a look."
"Yes, Master." Lan Zhao replied immediately.
His eyes followed Zhenjin's back until Zhenjin was obscured by trees.
"The master has gone through a fierce battle, and the clouds are calm and the wind is calm, and he is calm and calm. This is the style of a strong man."
"In other words, the battle in the darkness just allowed him to stretch his muscles and bones." Lan Zao was filled with admiration in his heart.
