There are vines like this all over the Yangcun Town stronghold. If you are not careful, you may trigger the attack of the vines.
However, after suffering a small loss, the two of them also figured out some of the habits of the vines. They were more careful while traveling and tried not to touch these vines.
These vines are like a mechanism. If you don't touch them, their reaction will not be that violent.
Of course, the turmoil caused by these vines also made Sangou completely put away his previous careless thoughts.
This place really doesn't allow them to do whatever they want.
Because the vines could attack at any time, it also prevented the two of them from taking full action, which also affected their speed to a certain extent.
Fortunately, when they entered the Yangcun Town stronghold, the two of them wanted to investigate the situation and did not need to rush at full speed.
Walking faster or slower does not affect their goal of this trip.
On the contrary, if you walk slower, you can observe many details more carefully.
Compared with Jiang Yue's previous expectations, the evil monsters and tree demons in Yangcun Town's stronghold did not seem to be that exaggerated.
At least the two of them have been here for so long and haven't been harassed by evil monsters or tree charms.
However, you still can't be careless.
Jiang Yue is not worried about being secretly targeted by evil monsters and tree charms. With his borrowing ability, he can now cover a distance of a thousand meters.
If a large number of tree demons and evil monsters were really targeting him, Jiang Yue was fully capable of detecting them in advance and reacting quickly.
And the yin and yang prodigy of Sangou is not just blown away.
It can be said that with the combination of the two brothers, it would be a bit exaggerated to say that this stronghold was bulldozed, but it would not be that easy for the tree charms and evil monsters in this stronghold to besiege them.
According to the previous information about Yu Yuan and Du Chong, as well as some intelligence provided by Hao Yinan, the two of them are actually very close to the core location of this stronghold.
It stands to reason that at this position, there should be a lot of eyeliners.
But so far, Jiang Yue has only found a few eyeliners, and the coverage of these eyeliners is simply not enough to cover all routes.
Jiang Yue used his ability to borrow sight to easily avoid these spies, and the two of them entered the core area of the stronghold with ease.
This core area was the center of Yangcun Town.
After the two of them entered the interior, they discovered that under the trees that blocked out the sun, they could still see some relics of civilization from the Sunshine Age.
Some relatively tall buildings, although surrounded by tall trees, can still vaguely see some traces.
Especially when the two of them went deep into the interior, no matter how dense the vegetation was, they could still see the remaining traces of civilization.
The trees around here are almost all 20 to 30 meters tall. The tallest building in Sunshine Era in Yangcun Town actually has more than ten floors, which adds up to dozens of meters.
But even so, these relatively tall buildings are still wrapped in various vines. If you look at them from a distance, they are surrounded by green. Even if the tall trees cannot completely block them, you can't clearly distinguish them from the outside.
On the contrary, Jiang Yue and the others could feel a bit of the prosperity and excitement of the Sunshine Age inside the stronghold.
What is strange to Jiang Yue is not that the entire Yangcun town is covered with vegetation. Jiang Yue has no doubts about the strange tree's ability.
Give it time, let alone a Yangcun town, even a huge Cloud City will be swallowed up if it is said to be swallowed up?
What Jiang Yue is even more curious about is that when the two of them reach this position, they should be in a relatively core area. Why are the eyeliners on the opposite side so attentive?
According to the intelligence from Yu Yuan and the Poisonous Insect Protector, they were targeted by a large number of evil monsters and tree demons before they reached the core area.
Did these two people lie?
This possibility is extremely slim and can be completely ruled out.
Jiang Yue did not doubt the loyalty of Yu Yuan and the poisonous insects.
Sangou also noticed something was wrong: "Second brother, is this really the core of the stronghold? Why do you feel that the defense is so empty?"
Jiang Yue felt something strange in his heart, but he was not careless and warned: "Take another look, maybe there is a scam here."
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
Jiang Yue didn't believe it if the other party deliberately removed their men and lured the two brothers over.
Not to mention that the other party didn't know their identities at all. Even if they knew, they should have set up a formation to surround the two brothers.
They have already entered the core area. Even if they lure the enemy deeper, it is time to close the net.
If you go deeper, you will reach the core area.
Jiang Yue suddenly remembered something.
Could it be that these evil monsters and tree charms are all involved in the "nest building" project?
This possibility cannot be ruled out.
Judging from the information from the Poisonous Insect Protector, nest building is very important to the Weird Tree, so it makes sense to invest a lot of effort into it.
But to say that the defense is so lax and allows humans to easily break in is obviously not in line with the cautious character of the weird tree.
You know, the Weird Tree is famously cautious and will never let such a big flaw happen.
Jiang Yue guessed that there was probably something involving a large number of fresh troops elsewhere, causing the defense here to be relatively empty.
Looking at the defense here, we have not given up completely. There are also some informants placed here and there. If Jiang Yue hadn't cleverly avoided those informants through the skill of borrowing sight, the intruders would still have a high probability of being able to see the concealment of those informants.
discovered.
After thinking about this, Jiang Yue became much calmer.
No matter what the reason is, since the defense on the other side is not particularly tight, it is just a good time to go deeper. Jiang Yue will naturally not let go of this opportunity if he can investigate more intelligence information.
According to the information previously provided by Hao Yinan, the place where those character patterns appeared was an activity center in Yangcun Town.
That area was the most lively area of Yangcun Town at the time. It was adjacent to the official building of Yangcun Town and was the central area of Yangcun Town.
Since the entire stronghold is covered in green everywhere, it is naturally not possible to find a location as easily as in the Sunshine Era.
However, with Jiang Yue's recognition ability and a little bit of discrimination, he quickly locked the location of the center of activity.
It will never be more than two kilometers away from the area beneath their feet.
However, these two kilometers are obviously no joke. As the two of them continue to get closer, it is obvious that every time they get closer to tens of hundreds of meters, the opponent's defense level becomes higher.
The distribution of sentries, the arrangement of eyelines, including the arrangement of defensive forces, became denser.
Moreover, a large number of evil monsters began to appear in the surrounding dense vegetation.
These evil monsters are obviously patrolling this area.
At this density, unless the two of them are completely invisible, with this patrol density and defense strength, even if they can evade, it will be a matter of time before they are discovered.
Jiang Yue's invisibility technique can naturally avoid this situation, and Sangou's invisibility technique, which was also encouraged by Jiang Yue, can also do the same.
Moreover, the invisibility technique can last for fifteen minutes. Normally, you can rush to the activity center.
But do you want to use the invisibility skill once now?
The two of them felt that it was not worthwhile.
Jiang Yue's invisibility technique can be used three times a day, but the invisibility technique that the three dogs were encouraged to bless can only be used once.
In other words, once used, once the fifteen minutes are up, the opportunity is equivalent to being used.
If he wants to use it again, unless Jiang Yue sends him his blessing again.
"Second brother, look at this posture, we want to avoid the spy and go to that place, but I'm afraid it won't work. How about using invisibility and we rush there with all our strength?"
Jiang Yue thought for a moment and shook his head: "No, keep it for now. I'll try to control the evil monster."
Jiang Yue's grand puppet technique, Dark Aria, is used to control evil monsters, which is a piece of cake.
If these roving evil monsters are not controlled by Jiang Yue, they will definitely issue an early warning once they find Jiang Yue and Sangou.
In this way, the existence of the two people was completely exposed.
Jiang Yue did what he said, cast Dark Aria, and began to counter-control the evil monsters around him.
Although there are many evil monsters around, the control power of Dark Aria is no joke. Jiang Yue only wants to avoid the eyes and ears, and there is no need to control a large number of evil monsters.
In this way, it will naturally be easier to operate.
This dark aria has no effect on those tree charms. The Grand Puppetry Technique can control the tree charms, but Jiang Yue has no intention of controlling these tree charms.
Tree charms are transformed from weird trees. Who knows what deep connection they have with weird trees?
What if I control these tree charms, but instead disturb the strange tree?
Jiang Yue's strategy was to control the evil monsters that might discover them and let them provide cover, making it easier for the two of them to travel.
Then use the Borrowing Sight skill to avoid the tree charm's eyes.
Not to mention, this method allowed the Jiang Yue brothers to easily enter the core area of Yangcun Town.
However, when the two of them arrived at the area two to three hundred meters outside the activity center, they knew that this strategy could only be used here.
The two sneaked into an abandoned building and came to a relatively high position to observe the situation around the activity center.
The number of evil monsters in this area is much greater than before.
These are not the main point. The main point is that there are obviously many strange buildings around the activity center, and a large number of human-shaped tree demons are moving around.
And these so-called buildings are obviously not from the Sunshine Age.
The most important thing is that these buildings are still under construction, using huge trees. The main structure looks like a circular city and an altar. There is a huge high platform in the middle area, all made of wood.
It is at least tens to hundreds of meters high.
Each piece of wood was engraved with strange characters and patterns, and the style was exactly the same as the characters and patterns that Jiang Yue had collected before.
These are definitely the runes and patterns of the Geocentric Clan.
Carving on these woods is even more ritualistic and full of mysterious meaning.
Jiang Yue guessed that this should be the nesting mentioned by the poisonous insect protector?
Speaking of the scale of this nest, it is actually not particularly grand. The circumference of the ring-shaped walled city will never exceed three kilometers.
But the altar-like high platform in the middle, as well as the strange shape of stacked wood, including the mysterious runes, undoubtedly had a huge impact.
Not only a visual impact, but also a spiritual impact.
Jiang Yue frowned deeply. Looking at this posture, this thing is more than just a nest.
The surrounding ring-shaped walled city indeed looks like a habitable cave.
But in Jiang Yue's view, although the surrounding ring-shaped walled city was carefully built, it was just for decoration, perhaps just to protect the high platform in the core area, the wooden building like an altar.
Looking at the countless tree charm guards around, it can be seen that this area is definitely a forbidden area that cannot be offended.
Once someone wants to attack the high platform, thousands of tree demons and countless evil monsters around the ringed city will definitely swarm up and bite the intruder into pieces.
Jiang Yue suddenly understood why Yu Yuan and Protector Poisonous Chong could not enter this core area.
With their strength, they are able to wander around the periphery without being discovered, which is extremely good. Entering the core area within this kilometer, such a density of sentries really leaves them with almost no room to display.
The poisonous insect guardian commanded the spiritual insect, and such a secret method was discovered, let alone Yu Yuan.
Yu Yuan also has some techniques for controlling ghosts, but they are obviously far behind Jiang Yue's methods. He controls one or two ghosts and enters this area, making it impossible to get close.
Seeing such a strange situation, Sangou's scalp was numb: "Second brother, what kind of plane are they doing? Is this what the poisonous insects call nesting? It looks very evil."
Jiang Yue nodded: "It is indeed very evil."
A fierce glare flashed in Sangou's eyes: "Second brother, how about we give them a hard blow?"
"How to fix it?"
"Hey, doesn't the second brother have a fire talisman? My fire bird can also activate real fire. You see, these buildings are all made of wood. A fire will burn them all. These should be tree charms, right? They are not us humans.
Just treat it as a burial object."
Sangou is a ruthless person. Since you are no longer a human being, just because you are human does not mean that Sangou will agree with you and kill you directly!
Jiang Yue knew that Sangou was eager to try, but he was not so optimistic.
It would be easier if it could be burned with a fire.
What's more, Jiang Yue doesn't plan to burn them directly yet. He also wants to observe these strange buildings and collect the characters and patterns.
As for the runes and patterns mentioned by Hao Yinan, which appeared in the area of the activity center, Jiang Yue's visual inspection suggested that they should be at the base at the bottom of the high platform.
It's just that the sight lines in the area where the two of them are located are not very good, so they can't observe clearly yet.
Jiang Yue activated the borrowing skill, but still couldn't make a clear judgment.
Because of the color of the wood, I don’t know what kind of transformation it has undergone, but it seems to be integrated with the stone monument and the earth.
It's still impossible to see clearly just by looking at it.
However, Jiang Yue was not discouraged. At this point, the stealth skill had to be activated.
