The main source of danger in the early stage of the knight squire assessment mission is the second-type creatures that have been modified by Avalon. In the two years at the military school, Cassia has seen many second-class creatures, with their appearance and habits.
As well as special attack methods, etc., he has a general understanding of these. But the premise is that these are all knowledge obtained from textbooks. He has almost never come into contact with such creatures during missions. He thinks it is necessary for him to be on his way.
Get familiar with it in the process.
Before the assessment begins, the battle between the assessors should not be extremely fierce. Those who can participate in the assessment will probably have some thoughts, and a certain number of people need to be left to complete the hunting of the thirty-six ferocious creatures shortly after.
It will be a battle between humans.
Perhaps the Imperial Council also has this meaning in it. The three stages of surgery are already considered considerable combat effectiveness. If they are excessively depleted, they will not be consistent with the purpose of the initial assessment period. They only select the attendants of the twelve Knights of the Round Table and select some performances from them.
With people with better grades, there is no shortage of opportunities during this period.
The rest time was very punctual. Every six hours, Cassia would let Cassie Hei fall into the deep forest to make simple corrections. The most important thing was to hunt some second-type creatures to supplement Cassie Hei's long-distance flight. That's it.
After walking in the forest for a day or two, when Cassia looked around and occasionally looked behind him, the line that intersected with the sky also turned into a dark green line.
The ancient trees below are even bigger. I don’t know if there is any regional influence. They not only carry an old atmosphere after experiencing time. As they get closer to the deeper position, even these ancient trees seem to be affected by something.
, an ancient sense of life spreads from the tree trunks and branches.
Leaves that are close to the size of an adult body can be seen everywhere at this time, and the ancient trees have also broken through the limitations of gravity over a long period of time, and their heights slowly increase corresponding to the distance from the central area.
Out of curiosity, Cassia once asked Cassia to cut off an ancient tree during a break. It took a long time. The bark and trunk of the tree are very different from ordinary trees, and the evolution of plants is not the same.
No. It is already in another form. Over a long period of time, the cracks caused by growth have no longer appeared on the bark. They should have been replenished automatically, and the thickness of the bark is dozens of times that of ordinary trees, with Cassia on it.
There are structures that are incomprehensible. Under the cross pupils, these parts can be clearly distinguished. The bark has a strong function of preserving water, just like the ancient trees here have their own reservoirs, raising the water to a level
After reaching the extreme position, it is stored and then transported into the leaves through another transportation route.
And during the journey of a few days, Cassia also discovered another doubtful point. The types of ancient trees became fewer and fewer. This feeling was most concrete in the journey of the first few days, because soon after, the route was almost close to
At the edge of the depths, Cassia no longer goes deep.
"The ancient trees in the southern forests may be formed by the spreading roots of the same huge tree." Now I can't remember where I heard this conjecture, but it soared over this strange sea of trees.
In the past few days, Cassia has become more and more convinced of this. If there is a long time to support it, this possibility may not happen. When the empire was still the Kingdom of Mano, the southern forest was already what it is now. Even further forward in history
Going back, the southern forests have always existed in various records.
This day is already the twelfth day of Cassia's journey in the southern forest. The huge southern forest can easily accommodate both of them. During the few days of travel, Cassia did see some other creatures. Most of the creatures were
Different stages of body size growth have occurred. In order to adapt to the environment, some herbivorous organisms have also evolved aggressive structures on their bodies. There are animals that eat ancient trees, and their teeth are sharper and faster than many carnivores.
None of them can compare. I saw a huge ant colony a few days ago. It even developed its own ecosystem and built its own fortress out of the ant nest. The acid it spits is not only extremely corrosive, but also has explosive power.
It is also quite impressive. They are truly the kings of a small area. Their huge numbers and the short-term flight ability brought by their hidden wings make it almost difficult for them to encounter natural enemies.
He stayed there to observe and collected some acid. A day later, Cassia suddenly realized that he had been in contact with this acidic substance. One of the main ingredients of acidic platinum bullets seemed to come from this.
They set off at around four in the morning that day. Both of them have a strong sense of direction and don't have to worry about getting lost. Moreover, the weather has been very good for several days in a row, and the stars in the night sky will also point them to the most accurate route. Military Headquarters
In school, astrology is an important course in the first year.
But the good weather finally ended today. At about 7 o'clock in the morning, the sun still did not come out. There was only an increasingly dense fog, pouring out from the forest below, rising layer by layer to higher places. The visibility was rapidly increasing at a visible speed.
The process continued, and in less than half an hour, the surroundings were already covered in hazy white, with visibility less than a few meters away. Only by staying close to the sky above the forest could Cassia have a real sense that he was actually moving forward.
Cassie Hei cried out at this time, feeling uneasy as he felt something one step ahead. Cassia patted his head, and at the same time let go of his own perception, and asked Cassie Hei to lower his flying altitude as much as possible.
He also felt something unusual around him, which was an indescribable feeling of depression.
"It seems like there's going to be a strong wind." Cassia said to herself, and the touch of her skin truly reflected the movement of the surrounding airflow. Apart from the turbulent airflow stirred by Cassia's flight, there was indeed something approaching them from diagonally above at great speed.
.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh," Just as he was about to let Cassia land early, a dense sound suddenly fell from high altitude. Cassia saw countless ripples intersecting and spreading in the mist, and they were so far away that they could not even detect it.
The source of the sound cannot be found.
"A strange sound suddenly appeared above the foggy sea!"
A record in "Strange Creatures Seeing and Hearing" immediately appeared in Cassia's head. Thousands of years ago, Perkinz Qilis also experienced this wonderful but unknown sight. The current scene is the same as what was introduced in the book.
It was almost the same, in a thick sea of fog, the sound suddenly fell from high altitude, covering a huge forest area. The only difference was that at that time, Perkins and his assistant were walking in the forest.
Cassia shouted again at this time, and Cassia could feel the uneasiness in his body. Apart from the sound, nothing else appeared in his perception. He looked up and looked at the general direction of the sound, and finally he
Discarded the idea of letting Cassie fly higher into the sky.
He believed in Cassie Hei more than his own perception. As the second type of creatures, there were still many unsolved mysteries about them.
Then he let Cassie Hei fall down and entered the forest. The sound of crashing became louder. The tree canopy above shook violently at the same time. The thick trunks also swayed at this time, and dark green leaves fell in large pieces. The cold wind
It even penetrated the protection of these ancient trees and slapped Cassia directly on the face.
In less than half a minute, the hurricane has arrived. Within the visible range, the fog in the sky turned into a turbulent flow, rushing towards the empire. At this time, a cold current came from the direction of the Endless Sea. (To be continued)
