Lu Qing looked at the hole in front of her, feeling inexplicably terrified.
The cave looked very narrow, and it was so dark that nothing could be seen inside. On the walls of the cave, there were traces that seemed to have been dug by human hands.
This gave Lu Qing the feeling that the cave was dug out with the palms of hands. Once you think about it this way, you will inevitably feel a little weird.
If she hadn't searched nearby for a long time, she couldn't find any other place that looked like an entrance except this place. She didn't want to go in at all.
"thump."
Jumping into the dark tunnel, Lu Qing smelled a damp earthy smell as soon as she entered.
Opening her eagle eyes and looking into the depths of the tunnel, she discovered that if she wanted to pass through this tunnel, she would have to lie down on the ground.
Because the tunnel was really too narrow, Lu Qing began to believe his own feelings at this time. Maybe this tunnel was really dug out with the palm of his hand.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that it was dug out by mutated creatures.
"..."
After thinking for a while, Lu Qing finally got out of the tunnel.
She took out a carving knife, made a cut on the palm of her left hand, and spilled blood on the soil next to the tunnel.
She wanted to note this place down and come back when she got a shovel.
Of course, the reason why Lu Qing came back with the shovel was not because she was too dirty, but because she was afraid that if she encountered any danger while crawling in the tunnel, she would not be able to resist at all. After all, the tunnel was too narrow.
"Little master, are you going back soon?"
Seeing Lu Qing's route back and forth, Wein flew down with some confusion and asked.
Lu Qing said her thoughts again, but after finishing speaking, the expression on Wein's face became even weirder.
He seemed to want to say something.
"If you have anything you want to say, just say it. Don't hold it back." Lu Qing looked at Wei Yin's expression and said.
"Um..." Wein flapped his wings and whispered: "Little master, why don't you escape into the shadow and go directly out of the tunnel?"
"..."
Lu Qing, who was walking, suddenly stopped. She turned her head faintly, and stared at Wein quietly with a pair of ice-blue pupils.
"Gah, gah?" Wei Yin was a little flustered by Lu Qing's stare and said.
"No, nothing..."
Lu Qing averted her gaze and then returned to the tunnel as if nothing had happened. However, Wein did not notice that there was some redness behind Lu Qing's ears.
Just, it's quite embarrassing. Fortunately, few people know about it, otherwise Lu Qing would have died on the spot.
After all, it is a newly acquired prop, so it is normal to forget to use it easily. After all, escaping into the shadows is beyond the common sense of normal people.
Lu Qing subconsciously wanted to crawl through the tunnel by herself, forgetting that she could use the silver-gray evening breeze to escape into the shadows and pass through.
This may be the problem of having too many props...
While thinking about the worry that he might be strangled to death by ordinary dream callers, Lu Qing used Windbreaker's [Escape into the Shadow] skill to pass through the tunnel.
Arriving at the other end of the tunnel, Lu Qing unlocked the skill [Escape into the Shadows] and immediately noticed something was wrong.
The air in this forest is also extremely humid, but there is a strange smell mixed in the air. It feels like some kind of paralyzing poisonous gas, which has almost no effect on Lu Qing.
Following the previous process of exploring the area behind the tree wall in the south, Lu Qing planned to explore the area near the tree wall first, and then gradually move deeper.
The paralyzing toxins in the air seemed to have affected the ecosystem in this forest. Not only did the trees become twisted and ugly, but even the weeds and flowers mostly showed a withered yellow appearance.
After walking for more than half an hour, Lu Qing finally encountered the first mutant creature in this area.
It was a giant centipede that was coiled on the tree trunk like a snake. Its body was very huge, and its densely packed legs were swinging on the tree trunk. Just looking at the downy hairs on its legs that were enlarged countless times, it was very strange.
It can make people who are afraid of bugs cry.
"Swiss, swiss, swish..."
After seeing Lu Qing, the giant centipede quickly circled down from the tree and showed a wary attitude toward Lu Qing.
Perhaps because of taking the [Nightmare Potion], the giant centipede, as a mutated creature, can feel the aura of advanced life on Lu Qing's body.
This smell both makes him greedy and frightens him at the same time.
"Well..."
Lu Qing glanced at the carving knife in her hand, then looked at the size of the giant centipede, plus the lavender carapace covering its body, and silently put the carving knife back.
At this time, the mutated centipede could no longer stand the temptation brought by Lu Qing's flesh and blood, and quickly crawled towards Lu Qing.
"roar!"
The mutated centipede opened its mouth, and a pair of sharp fangs were about to bite Lu Qing's body.
[Eternal Hunting Twins Qianjue—fully activated!]
Rolling to avoid the mutant centipede's attack, Lu Qing opened the bow string in her hand, raised her hand and shot three arrows.
【Dance of Arrows!】
"Pfft..."
The sharp arrows directly pierced the mutated centipede's body, and then nailed it to the big tree behind him. Lu Qing watched the mutated centipede struggling on the tree trunk, and silently pulled out the bowstring.
The arrow that pierced the mutant centipede slowly disappeared, and the struggling mutant centipede suddenly fell to the ground. At this time, she happened to loosen her fingers that were holding the arrow.
"Whoosh!"
The pure white arrow penetrated the mutant centipede's head, and a large amount of blood spurted out. The mutant centipede struggled painfully on the ground, but lost movement after a moment.
After confirming that the opponent was really dead, Lu Qing first broke off the fangs of the mutated centipede, then used a carving knife to disembowel it and found the flesh and blood core inside.
After finally collecting some of the other party's carapace, she left here.
As for the mutated centipede meat?
Forehead.......
In fact, there is one thing I forgot to mention before. Both before time traveling and the original owner, both were very afraid of bugs. Although Lu Qing could resist fighting bugs now, if he wanted to eat bug meat, then forget about it.
She didn't lack food anyway, so why bring the centipede meat home?
.........
After encountering the mutated centipede, Lu Qing's exploration journey became much smoother. To be honest, she hadn't encountered a wild dog for a long time. When did it start?
It seems that since [Nightmare] broke through to level 3, it has never been encountered again. These mutated creatures in the forest seem to have some kind of wild instinct that allows them to sense the strength of the enemy.
Especially wild dogs, which have particularly sensitive noses, can sense the scent of the owner of the scent, so after smelling the scent of Lu Qing, they will be frightened and run away.
Sometimes, Lu Qing would worry about whether she would have enough food because of this, but fortunately, in addition to those smart wild dogs, there were also mutated giant deer with a single mind, so she didn't worry too much.
