Thirty-four heavy armored elephants rode all the way east, sending out several teams with spiritual energy detectors from time to time to investigate, and then making fine adjustments to the direction of travel.
It was very peaceful along the way. Although the mountain elephant's steps were not fast, its legs were like tall pillars of meat.
It is long enough and the steps are wide, so the speed is not slow. Now it is far away from the previous battlefield.
However, they are still on this plain, and the faint sense of peeping has not disappeared, and has even increased.
"Commander, there are many pairs of eyes staring at us, more and more, they won't take action again, right?"
Chen Yi's face was full of caution and he shook his head slowly.
"no."
Yao Changkang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this and said to himself that it was okay, he was still convinced of Chen Yi.
But as soon as this thought appeared, he was killed by Chen Yi's words the next second.
"The ones staring at us are not giant hyenas, but other races."
Chen Yi's eyes were solemn as he scanned the weeds and shrubs behind him and beside him.
After careful observation before, although he was not familiar with giant hyenas, he was definitely not unfamiliar.
He could distinguish the greedy color and foul-smelling saliva of the giant hyena even from a distance of several miles.
So although he didn't know what these peepers were, at least he was sure they weren't giant hyenas.
Yao Changkang's teeth felt a little itchy when he heard this. Is there any difference?
But he no longer cared about complaining, and his expression became solemn again.
Chen Yi didn't need to say more. After asking for instructions, he spread the news. Suddenly, each of the elephant riders closed their mouths, pricked up their ears, tightened their lances in their hands, and tightened the bow strings on their fully drawn crossbows.
Even the sitting elephant slowly curled up its trunk, lowered its head, and pointed its horns forward in a subtle way.
But what surprised them was that after they prepared for the attack, the prying eyes suddenly disappeared.
Amidst the swaying of weeds and shrubs, those hidden predators seemed to disappear.
"Holy crap, are these beasts so smart?
Just prepare for battle and they'll run away."
Seeing this, Yang Lixin blinked his eyes and shouted.
Chen Yi was stunned at first, but he understood in a flash, shook his head and said.
"Aura, our aura changed after we prepared for battle. Such a domineering aura was mixed with undisguised murderous intent. It's impossible for them not to feel it.
They don't want to risk a bloody battle."
Hearing this, the others immediately closed their mouths and touched their noses.
"Hey, we are soldiers, not killers. We can't hide this change at all. If we try to hide it, we will only be able to show 50% of our strength at most."
Chen Yi waved his hand.
"There's no need, there's no need to hide it. If something goes wrong, you'll lose a lot, and the gain won't be worth the loss.
Our target is not these mutated beasts in the first place. If you have them, just take them. If you don’t have them, don’t force them. Isn’t it better now?
Keep on your way!"
"yes!"
The group of people continued walking eastward, and not long after walking, several mountains covered with trees slowly appeared within their field of vision.
"Commander, there are hills ahead, we have to leave the plain area."
"Okay, be more vigilant and continue on your way.
Chen Yi was also a little excited when he saw the new scenery, and couldn't help but speed up and approach the mountain.
And when he was at the foot of the mountain, Chen Yi instantly noticed that the giant hyena he was following turned around and left.
This was not a good sign and immediately made him wary.
"Everyone, be careful. This place is not the territory of giant hyenas, or there are other herds similar to giant hyena colonies.
Or there is a powerful mutant beast that can deter the giant hyena."
Everyone was in high spirits and could not help but slow down their steps. They carefully observed the surroundings and did not miss the slightest movement.
The unknown environment and its enemies will always make people fearful.
Humans are afraid of the unknown...
Slowly entering the mountain forest, with the experience of advancing in the Qinling Mountains outside, without Chen Yi's instructions, when they came into contact, several elephants came forward, waved their lances, and used their spear blades to smash all the objects in front of them.
.
Large trees, vines, and even dense bushes.
They took turns to open the road and opened a wide avenue directly in the mountain forest.
However, although they were skilled, their progress inevitably slowed down.
The forest here is very dense, but not very high, just very dense. It is not like a tropical mountain forest, but rather like a dense mountain forest in a temperate zone.
After entering the forest, I didn't encounter any mutant beasts, but the birds that started frequently told Chen Yi.
It's not that there are no creatures here, it's just that most of the creatures are hidden and watching you where you can't see them.
This made Chen Yi tense up and did not dare to relax at all.
The mountain forest is not a strong terrain for elephant riding, so you must be extra careful, otherwise he will not be able to explain if a few are broken off.
“Bang!!”
At this moment, a muffled sound suddenly came from the front, just like the sound made when cutting down a hard-wooded Camellia oleifera tree.
Chen Yi suddenly knew something, but still asked aloud.
"what's the situation?"
"Boss, it's a spiritual tree. I don't know what kind it is. I've never seen it before, but it's definitely not low grade.
Hehe, another great achievement."
A man ran over and said with a smile.
"Virtue, go quickly, the old rule is to take a piece of tree root, a piece of wood core, a piece of branch with leaves, a piece of bark, and if there is fruit, add fruit."
"Come on, brothers are all familiar with these processes."
Chen Yi smiled, and the sudden gain also made his tense nerves relax a little.
This is not the first time that a spirit tree has been discovered, but there are indeed not many spirit trees that can withstand a fifth-level elephant rider wielding a sharp weapon-level lance.
The elephant rider didn't say it just now. This is indeed a credit, and he will be rewarded a lot if he takes it back.
If the level is high and you happen to be able to plant, the rewards will be even greater. Getting rich is not a dream.
We paused for a moment, then continued on our way after everything was packed up.
During this period, the elephant rider came over again and said something.
At least level five is guaranteed, the heart of the tree is alienated, and the quality is improved to a higher level.
Rare species, stable.
The next period of time was spent walking in silence, and there was no danger until we climbed over the mountain.
This made them feel a little relieved, and they continued as they were on the plains.
Forward → Exploration → Correct direction → Forward → Exploration...
The cycle continued like this, and Chen Yi did not do anything else because he knew very well.
Emperors have always attached great importance to Feng Shui. As Qin Shihuang used the world as his tomb, his resting place must be the most noble place in the world.
You can also simply identify it as the place with the strongest aura in the world.
So Chen Yi only needs to move step by step to the place with strong spiritual energy.
If the guess is wrong, then Chen Yi has no idea. It is impossible for a mere thirty-four riders to search the whole world.
Therefore, going to a place with strong spiritual energy is not only a choice, but also a necessity.
And all this was interrupted until the return of an exploration team.
"Commander, we found a large and gorgeous palace complex ahead, with a large number of sculptures wearing armor and holding weapons!"
Chen Yi suddenly became excited when he heard this.
