The name "Nightmare Woodland" quickly spread throughout the area, and the horrific experiences of the survivors that day became one of the hotly discussed topics in the local area.
No one knew what was hidden in the darkness, nor what methods the other party used. That brief encounter left countless survivors sweating profusely even after waking up in the middle of the night.
Even the most powerful adventurers put away their rebellious psychology at this moment and lowered their arrogant heads - they would not collide with a completely unknown monster out of curiosity, not to mention various signs that this wandering
The unknown existence has the power to defeat multiple levels of magicians by itself.
Lu Yu was very satisfied with the effect of this layout, but this is still not a long-term solution. One day there will be adventurers who are driven by curiosity to step into the "fog". No matter how deep the darkness is, no matter how lonely and terrifying the story is, they can't
Stop a heart that is ready to move.
At that moment, if the planarian cannot cope with it alone, it will still be doomed.
Sera took out some of the dark magic that the Theocracy had collected, and Lulu took out the fire magic that she had researched and the spiritual magic that she had learned from Sayer. After careful consideration, they could give the planarians this opportunity that was still in its growth stage.
The gift of greatest help to the race.
In order not to define the planarian's future, when granting magic, Lu Yu specifically explained through the flesh and blood chariot that these magics would gradually lose their original effectiveness over time. If they want to continue using them, they must explore feasible magic paths on their own.
.
As someone who has personally witnessed the Blue Water Mushroom people getting into a dead end, this advice is particularly important.
The planarian clan is extremely excited. If the flesh and blood chariot hadn't stopped them, a new round of "bringing their heads up to meet them" would have begun.
It is strange to say that in the process of accepting the planarian's gratitude, Flesh Chariot vaguely felt that something had changed in himself, but when he looked at his body with eyes covered with tentacles, he found nothing.
The same feeling also appeared in Lu Yu, but it was fleeting. He was just stunned for a moment, and did not think deeply, but made another preparation for the planarian.
Lu Yu returned to the tree hole where he came from. The Squirrel King was extremely wary of the returning briquettes. If the difference in strength had not been too large, he would have launched an attack immediately to declare his dominance over this territory.
"I know you are pretending that you are not smart enough to avoid being targeted by me, but unfortunately, there is a rabbit in my body, and she can see through your little tricks."
Despite his wisdom, the Squirrel King is still too immature. A small shiver quickly revealed the fact that he can understand language.
"I'll make a deal with you, which will be beneficial to your tribe."
The call of the coal ball caused the planarian leader not far away to quickly climb into the tree hole.
"These are my dependents. They need to temporarily welcome the baptism of magic power in this area and gradually strengthen their body, soul and magic."
"I know that you squirrels are very good at collecting and storing food. If you can help the planarians in this regard and relieve their pressure, they will be happy to provide you with shelter for your survival."
Planarians are under great pressure to fight against intelligent races, but they are able to fight against monsters in this area that has been shrouded in "unknown fog" with ease. A race that left the underground palace in a hurry but can still survive many challenges must have good resilience.
And a specialty that they are proud of, and the specialty of planarians is their extremely shameless regeneration power.
The regeneration of severed limbs and severed bodies are both child's play. When it grows to the level of a planarian leader, it can even condense and regenerate its body after it is torn apart, and heal the temporarily divided consciousness again.
Such "immortal bodies", unless the body is devoured before being torn apart, can already dominate the jungle.
The Squirrel King's small eyes stared at the planarian's two glowing red beady eyes, looking at his sticky body... in silence.
Although he does not have much wisdom, he also realizes that he actually has no better choice, because the powerful existence in front of him undoubtedly has other candidates for cooperation, and choosing him is undoubtedly a huge opportunity.
Without saying a word, the Squirrel King turned around and reached out from the tree hole to hold out a huge pine cone that he had collected in the autumn. He staggered upright and handed it to the planarian leader who was extremely obedient under Lu Yu's gaze.
The planarian leader said nothing...
"Pfft~~"
He cut off one-third of the tail of his body, and using his hands as small as a baby, he imitated the Squirrel King's movements and raised them up.
The Squirrel King was stunned. He turned back stiffly and looked at his... tail.
Obviously this is a textbook diplomatic accident. The Squirrel King is already thinking about whether this is a wonderful racial etiquette of the planarian clan, or whether tail cutting is a necessary alliance ceremony?
Lu Yu covered his face. The flesh and blood chariot observing outside the door recalled the weird taste and wonderful texture when he chewed it. He closed all his eyes very humanely, as if thinking about what kind of weird people he had.
believers.
Under Lu Yu's obstruction, the Squirrel King ended his entanglement with tail docking. The exchange of pine cones and tails meant that the two races officially entered the era of cooperation.
For the alliance partners promoted by their gods, the planarians have great respect for the squirrels. The leader of the tribe personally led them into the depths of the cave occupied by the planarian clan, and actively shared the underground springs they dug out by drilling holes.
In dense forests full of monsters, water sources are often the hardest hit area. The dominant species in the ecological niche are always here to wait for work. It is like a dream to have a water source that is completely your own.
The little squirrels who began to awaken like the Squirrel King quickly adapted to these slimy and weird friends, riding on their bodies and traveling around like they were on a sightseeing cable car.
The three people, Mei Qiu and others, watched all this and showed happy smiles.
They did not break the harmonious and friendly atmosphere for planarians and squirrels, but left quietly.
By the time the planarian leader reacted and searched for traces of his own gods, it was already too late. The originally joyful planarian clan fell into a brief depression - they could not even properly thank the gods.
One planarian's proposal was approved by all planarians.
"We need to picture the God of Wisdom and the 'Lord'."
On the smooth rock wall, the figures of the flesh-and-blood chariot and the briquettes gradually took shape under the outline of twisting and twisting lines.
Planarians deeply remember the advice of the God of Wisdom: The Lord is above everything.
The briquettes hang high on the top of the mural, like the sun to all things on the earth, and below him are wise gods with countless heads, their own.
……close the eyes
…
To the locals, the continuous snow-capped mountains looked like a desert, but Lu Yu flew across them effortlessly. After more than a day, a dazzling yellow spot appeared at the end of the blinding white snow, and then quickly turned into a thin line.
This is a particularly magical sight. At the end of the towering snow-capped mountains is a cliff with a drop of nearly 200 meters. Below the cliff is a green plant area irrigated by the melted snow. Some distance further ahead is a land filled with yellow sand.
.
There are no traces of intelligent life at this junction of hot and cold, but there are many monsters lying lazily near the water source, as if they are used to living a life of waiting for rabbits.
Drifting into the vast scorching sand little by little, Coal Ball quickly realized why this area was called a death zone.
The sun's rays are not very harsh, but the body of the coal briquettes can clearly feel the squeeze of heat waves from all directions. The hot wind here is like a large plate of hot boiling water hitting the face, dull and hot.
The land of Mera is rich and there is no desert, so this is the first time that Sera and Lulu have felt the oppression brought by this extreme terrain.
I don’t know how long it had been floating, but in the dead yellow sand world, the ground began to tremble, and the sand on the surrounding sand mountains flowed.
Under Coal Ball's surprised gaze, a huge whale jumped out from under the sand sea. It had the same body shape as the whales in the sea, but its skin was earthy yellow, and its surface seemed to be covered with rock armor. It looked like a mobile ship.
of ironclad battleship.
"This is a sand whale?" Sera murmured.
"Do you know?" Lu Yu asked hurriedly.
"I have read in books that some people indeed said that they saw this unique form of monster in an extremely arid continent covered entirely by desert. They also said that other desert-type monsters would appear in this ecosystem."
The scholar who wrote the book didn't lie, because Coal Ball soon saw the giant desert spider covered in sand and spinning its web in the quicksand.
The briquettes that strayed into its dining table inadvertently disturbed its transparent silk threads. Thinking that the meal was about to begin, it jumped out of the sand excitedly, and without saying a word, spewed out a large amount of silk threads to wrap the briquettes tightly, two meters tall.
If the long, hard feet are inserted directly into the body of the briquette, toxins will be injected to prepare for a feast.
It's starving.
But obviously, briquettes are not a delicious food. The briquettes went against the heat wave with the purpose of semi-ecological research. They just wanted to observe its hunting posture so that they could go back and compile records. This wonderful misunderstanding almost caused the desert giant spider to lose its legs.
Broken - the hardness of the briquettes is beyond imagination.
Thinking that it had encountered a difficult predator, the giant desert spider used its sand-moving skills to blind the briquettes' eyes. However, this was in vain. The briquettes' tentacles wrapped around its legs and forced it with strong force.
He turned over and fell to the ground. After confirming that she was a female, he pulled various parts of her body and admired it.
Sera and Lulu muttered something. Lu Yu was not very interested in these academic topics, so he was responsible for doing the hard work and had a clear division of labor. This also gave Lu Yu time to pay attention to the shame, anger and fear in the eyes of the giant desert spider. At this moment, Lu Yu
Then I realized that she seemed to be wise, although not much.
When the academic discussion came to an end, the giant desert spider that was loosened by the briquettes slipped into the soft sand and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. It was obvious that the actions of the briquettes had caused considerable psychological damage to her.
The vast flaming sand is devoid of magic power, and Lulu's physical sensation is not as good as that of the surrounding Yas Kingdom. This also makes the three of them more and more curious about what they can see after crossing this desert.
Although the end of the continent is often the sea, Coal Ball is particularly curious about whether the situation at the end of the low-magic area has improved, or whether he will follow the flow of magic to find a magic-free area that is not blessed by magic in the true sense, a place that does not require
A true magic vacuum zone where forbidden magic crystal veins can appear.
The pika wandering in the desert was easily arrested by Lulu. After walking in the desert for two days, she couldn't put it down and played with the pika for a long time. From time to time, she said words such as "little rabbit, so cute", which aroused her.
La's heartbeat accelerated rapidly.
This pika seems to have a pair of very brave parents. Even though they knew the danger, they still chased the briquettes for a long distance. This made Lulu, who wanted to play with the pika as a pet for a while, chose to give up.
Seeing the happy reunion of the pikas and rabbits, her eyes stayed on them for a long time.
Seven days passed leisurely, counting the sunrise and sunset. Along the way, I saw countless corpses buried under the wind and sand. Next to the weathered bones, I could also find suicide notes carefully preserved in containers, as well as scattered relics. These adventurers
Most of them come from the direction of the Kingdom of Yas, ranging in age from 700 to 100 years ago.
The spirit of exploration led them to go deep into this barren land, but they eventually encountered an accident here. Lu Yu collected the suicide notes one by one and decided to convey the last message to these brave men who had never met before.
"Being able to come to this area at least proves that they are the best among Yas magicians. It's a pity..."
"This desert area is really too big. How long have we been walking and it seems we haven't seen the end yet."
Lu Yu said: "The good news is that we have seen information about adventurers from other areas except Yas, which means that this desert blocks different civilizations."
The three of them chatted with each other to relieve their boredom along the way. They all felt boring and boring, and they didn't know how Vanessa passed the monotonous time day after day while crossing the desert.
On the eleventh day after entering the desert, when the three of them were about to be reborn and irritable, a series of blurry shadows appeared on the distant horizon.
Lu Yu carefully observed it for a while, and after confirming that it was not a mirage, he leaned forward with joy.
This was a group of caravans with horned rhinoceros beasts as pack animals. They were of different races, and all kinds of faces showed surprise when they saw Lu Yu walking alone on the scorching sand.
An old man in the caravan quickly took out his water bag and handed it to his entourage to bring it forward.
They couldn't figure out how someone dared to enter this dead place alone. Didn't the elders in the family tell him the story of this desert?
The approaching coal ball refused the water bag, and when they were about to speak, they awkwardly thought of something important... It seemed that they didn't understand the language.
