() "Strange, it seems that many professionals have passed by here."
Li Huo looked at the many chaotic footprints on the ground, puzzled, and said to Angela in confusion.
"Obviously there are professionals who have passed by, so why do newcomers continue to follow the places cleared by their predecessors?"
Angela also found this matter a bit difficult to understand.
Li Huo and Angela's questions are not unreasonable.
If someone passes by in front, they will naturally kill the monsters one by one. For these professionals who want to kill monsters, gain experience points and improve their level, they will definitely not be able to find any monsters if they follow the path that others have taken. Isn't this right?
Not a waste of time.
Time is money, time is experience, and time is equipment.
Why did Li Huo and Angela raise such questions?
It turned out that after Li Huo entered the woods, they walked towards the place where the Tree of Anivers was written on the map, while being careful and vigilant.
The Tree of Anipheus, known as the Holy Tree, according to what is written on the map, should be in the center of this dark forest. The two of them still have a long way to go to find this tree.
You will meet many monsters along the way.
In this forest, there are towering giant trees above, and thick leaves and fertile land below. These leaves have fallen here for who knows how many years.
After all, before the invasion of hell, this place was a virgin forest. Normally, few people would go to this forest. Basically, they came here just to cut down trees. No one wanted to enter this deep forest.
Humans will naturally leave a lot of footprints when walking in places where the fluffy and green leaves are piled up deeply.
If no one continues to walk by as time goes by, the falling leaves will naturally cover these footprints.
However, Li Huo and Angela found many various footprints. These footprints were very clear, indicating that someone had just walked through them and had not left them for a long time.
In other words, not long ago, many people passed by here.
A team can only have eight people at most. This is what Li Huo learned from Qiao Ni when she was chatting with her. Judging from the footprints here, at least dozens or hundreds of professionals passed by here.
There is absolutely no way this was left behind by a single team.
As for saying that everyone else is protecting an important person, it is even more impossible.
It can be seen from the depth of the footprints that the level of these professionals cannot be too high, and should be about the same as Li Huo and Li Huo.
Why can you tell the level of a professional by looking at the depth of the footprints?
Don't forget, the woman in white that Li Huo once saw, as a level 21 assassin, could actually not step on the ground at all. Maybe she had her own reasons, and not everyone could do it.
But judging from Asedea's behavior, professionals of their level should not leave too deep footprints if they pass by here.
As for professionals who have exceeded level 40, that is completely different. According to Qiao Ni, after exceeding level 40, professionals can briefly break through the attraction of the earth, soar into the sky and fly a short distance.
And when Li Huo and Angela walked through here, the depth of the footprints left behind by them was as different as those in front of them, indicating that the level of these people should be basically the same as the two of them.
"These people are heading towards the center of the forest. What secrets does this center of the forest hold?"
Li Huo shook his head very slightly while analyzing to himself.
"An Qi, why don't we follow along and see what these people are going to do?"
Li Huo made up his mind, but still turned to Angela and asked. He should not be too arbitrary. Respecting the opinions of his teammates is the correct way to unite the team.
"Okay, Captain, I'm a little curious too."
Angela has changed a lot now from before. I don’t know if it’s because she is very familiar with Li Huo, or it’s because she risked her life to save Li Huo that time, which touched her heart. Her relationship with Li Huo is no longer special.
Shy, but can occasionally express what is on his mind.
The Dark Forest seems to be smaller than the Stone Wilderness or the Ice Plains, but the area difference between them is not particularly obvious.
There are tall woods here, with dense branches blocking people's sight. Although there is no fog during the day, it is still quite dark.
Of course, not to mention the night, the surroundings are pitch black and there is endless thick fog. If you don't have the light attribute, you may not be able to move here.
And the boss in this forest, Shutou Muquan, is not easy to mess with either.
This tree-headed wooden fist, like the blood crow, was also a loyal subordinate after being captured by hell because of its good qualifications. However, it was not a subordinate of Diavolo, it was a subordinate of the demon king Andariel.
The person who captured and transformed it was naturally Torture Queen Andariel.
Before being captured, it was the king of this dark forest, and what it needed to protect was the Tree of Aniphus.
So when its projection appears here, it still has to guard the Tree of Anipheus. Its projection will stay under the Tree of Anipheus and will not go there. Anyone who comes here will
All professionals will be attacked by it.
Li Huo and the two quickly followed the path taken by the previous professionals and headed towards the heart of the dark forest.
At the beginning, because all these monsters were killed by the previous professionals, Li Huo and Angela moved very fast. It didn't take long to cover two-thirds of the distance.
However, after a night's rest, new monsters appeared again.
Li Huo and Angela could only walk slowly and clean up the newly spawned monsters on the road.
Finally, their hard work paid off. After Li Huo and Angela rested for another night, at noon on the third day after entering the dark forest, they finally arrived at the center of the forest.
"Wow! What is this!"
When Li Huo and Angela walked into the dark forest and stepped into the center, two bright lights suddenly flashed in front of them. Li Huo couldn't help but let out a soft sigh, then narrowed his eyes and observed these two people.
The source of light.
Of these two bright lights, part of the white light came from the sky, and the other part of the golden light came from the central yang.
This place is not full of big trees in the center as Li Huo thought.
What surprised Li Huo was that there were almost no trees in the entire central area.
Compared with the dark forest behind, which is almost just shadows of trees, there is only one tree within a thousand meters in diameter in this central area.
Since there is only one tree, although this tree is very tall, it cannot cover all the space, so sunlight naturally shines from above.
Since Li Huo hadn't seen the sun for a few days, it was normal for him to feel a little dazzled when he was suddenly dazzled by the sun.
But this towering tree with golden light made Li Huo very surprised.
"Is this the Tree of Enyphus? It's so spectacular!"
Li Huo was a little shocked. It seemed that Li Huo could only see such a shocking scene in some special effects productions.
A big tree with soft golden light all over its body stood straight in front of it.
The tree trunk is hundreds of meters high, so Li Huo almost had to break his neck to see the top.
The trunk of the big tree is more than twenty meters in diameter. Standing here, it looks extremely majestic.
On the tree trunk, countless branches stretch out in all directions.
But there is not a single leaf on these branches.
No wonder the sunlight can shine down without the obstruction of the leaves. The branches alone, no matter how dense they are, cannot completely block the light.
This soft golden light envelops every branch of the entire Tree of Anivos, making it look very magical.
Both Li Huo and Angela were shocked by the sight before them, but they were not the only ones here. On the contrary, they could be regarded as the last team of professionals to arrive here.
"Haha, Li Huo! You actually arrived here too!"
A familiar rough voice sounded, awakening Li Huo from his wonder.
He lowered his head and looked forward. More than 200 level 10 professionals were standing or sitting under the tree in front, forming groups of units with the team as the center. Each team was different from other teams.
They all kept a considerable distance from each other, showing that they were not in friendly relations with each other.
They all have a strong sense of competition with other teams around them, and the atmosphere between them is not good, but it is not particularly tense either.
Li Huo immediately saw the strange paladin Raga who was waving in front of him, and then he saw Tom who was smiling at him and the charming assassin sister Anne.
"Angela, let's go there."
After Li Huo scanned all the professionals around him, he called Angela behind him and walked towards Team Tom.
La Jia's voice was so loud that it was really difficult to understand. When he roared like this, more than two hundred professionals here all looked at where Li Huo and Angela were.
Hearing Raga's name, the crowd started to stir.
"Li Huo? Which Li Huo is it? Is he the professional who is said to be the most talented person this year?"
"Look, it's him, that mage. Even the Sisters seem to want to recruit him."
"It should be true. It is said that there is always a silent female paladin following him. The female professional with her head lowered, a golden ponytail, and wearing the paladin's standard uniform is the saint with equally good strength.
knight."
"Is it him? There seems to be some trouble this time. The competition is already fierce enough, but now I am afraid that there is another loss of hope."
"What are you afraid of? This time it's not about who has greater potential or who is more talented. This test is about overall ability."
"That's true, but even so, the competition this time is still much greater than in the past few weeks."
"I can't help it. It just happened to happen this time. Everyone works hard. Anyway, there are three places every time."
"We have to work hard. If it doesn't work this time, we have to wait until next week. No matter where the progress is, we have to find time to turn back. This will slow down the team's progress too much."
