Bediwell followed the holographic light that pointed the way and arrived at the edge of [Area Zero] not long after walking.
As Eve said, this area is blocked. It is surrounded by an energy field that is so powerful that it can be vaguely seen with the naked eye. It deflects light and makes the dense forest scenery in area zero become only vague.
It can be seen that Bedivere knocked the energy field with his hand curiously, and the energy field immediately bounced away the werewolf's fist like a thick concrete wall.
For such a grand event, the mutated plants in area zero must be very ferocious.
"The entrance to the blocked area will be opened next. Are you ready?" Eve's voice came only from the intercom.
"Come on!" The werewolf held a tungsten turtle tongue whip and was ready to fight.
"Is there anything I need to pay attention to?" Arthur also drew his lightsaber and was on guard.
"There are three points to note." Eve explained: "First, although there is no exact data to prove it, according to the speculation of this system, mutated plants are always plants, and their resistance to flames is not high. Use flame weapons
It is the most effective way to solve them. But you must be very careful when using flames in the forest;"
"Anyway, we don't have any fire weapons on hand." Bedivere said impatiently.
"Secondly, according to the information obtained through the connection with the supply station, mutated plants are very sensitive to sound. Please try to stay quiet and avoid making too much noise. Otherwise, you may be besieged by a large number of mutated plants."
"Understood." Arthur replied coldly. Siege? Do these mutated plants have legs?
"Third, please pay more attention to your steps. These mutated plants are carnivorous, and they are best at setting traps to catch prey. Please avoid stepping in the traps they set - your feet may be seriously injured."
"Oh, great! We're walking into a minefield." Bedivere complained again: "You really want us to be killed, don't you, Eve?"
"This is one of the obligations that the acting captain needs to fulfill." Eve replied without emotion. A beam of light shot out from the communicator in Bedivere's ear at the same time, shining on the protective cover. Protection of Area Zero
The hood immediately opened a circular gap.
Arthur and Bedivere sneaked in, and the circular gap immediately closed behind them.
Then there was silence. This area was frighteningly quiet - completely different from the silence outside. It carried its own unique, deep silence. The quieter it was, the greater the danger lurking in this darkness.
Bedivere swallowed a sip of saliva and observed all the disturbances nearby with his whole body.
This forest is not only quiet, it is also quite dark. The protective shield blocking Area Zero has a certain deflection effect, preventing the light of the stars and moon from outside from shining in well. And the only light source left in the forest is
, those flying luminous insects. The problem is that the number of luminous insects in this forest is obviously less than that outside. Are they unable to live in large numbers due to lack of food, or are they preyed on in large numbers by the predators here, so that their numbers are scarce?
?
It's not good. In short, it's very bad. In this quiet, dark area with complex terrain, the enemy can lurk behind the shadow of any tree. The werewolf regrets that he came in first and didn't wait to meet up with Evan and Tristan.
If Ivan, who has the eagle eye skill, is responsible for monitoring, this woodland should be much easier to navigate.
"Do you think what the artificial intelligence said is credible?" Arthur followed the werewolf and asked in a low voice. After entering Area Zero, Eve's communication seemed to be interrupted, and they could talk freely---although this "freedom"
With great risk.
"Believable?" When talking about this, Bediwell was still full of anger: "It is the initiator of this matter. It is obviously the one who tricked us here on its own initiative. Do you think I will still believe it?"
"Let's put this aside for now." Arthur asked: "I'm talking about the matter itself. The artificial intelligence of this supply station ignored the safety protocols written in the system and independently developed dangerous genetically modified organisms? Modern us
This is not the first time I have dealt with artificial intelligence, but this is the first time I have seen such an arrogant artificial intelligence."
"You mean, this incident may be man-made?" Bedivere asked doubtfully: "Who else can cause trouble in this supply station? Ancient people? Aren't they already extinct?"
"I don't know." Arthur lowered his voice, "But nothing is absolute. God knows if there are still living ancient gods and men in the world. In short, as long as we continue to explore, we will always encounter something."
"
The werewolf nodded. Arthur was willing to enter Area Zero, perhaps not just to find the Desert Rose. The King of Knights has a strong interest in ancient civilizations, but Arthur will not give up until he explores all the ancient ruins.
.
In the middle of the conversation between the two, something suddenly flashed past, startling Arthur and Bedivere.
"Bedi! Did you just see it?!" Arthur exclaimed in the lowest voice.
"Hmm!" There was still an afterimage of that thing on the werewolf's retina.
The thing that looked a bit like a human figure slipped from the shadow of one tree into the shadow of another tree. The distance between the two trees was nearly ten yards, but it took a very short time of a few tenths of a second.
By passing it, we can see that its speed is unimaginably fast!
"That speed can even catch up with Palamedes!" Arthur exclaimed in a low voice: "No, move quickly! If you stay here, you will only be ambushed!"
"Arthur, your telepathic skills don't work either?" Bedivere and Arthur moved towards a place where the trees were sparsely distributed, and asked curiously at the same time.
"The mind's eye technique is a technique for detecting the enemy's hostility, but if the opponent is a violent beast and does not need to think when attacking, the mind's eye technique may not be effective!" Arthur thought of the crazy desert shark (Matt) at noon, and couldn't help but think again
He sweated a lot: "And our opponents are plants. Whether plants think the same as animals is still unknown!"
"Tsk... Got it. Let me do something!" The werewolf raised his tungsten turtle tongue whip and powered it on. After being powered on, the whip moved freely like a tentacle, surrounding Bedivere and Arthur.
It went around in a circle to form a circular (actually only three-quarters of a circle) protective circle.
This circle, about three yards in diameter, hangs at the same waist height of the werewolf, protecting Bedivere and Arthur in a surrounding manner. In this way, even if the enemy launches a sudden charge from behind, even if the werewolf's whip is not hit,
In the protective circle, Bediwell can also use his whip to sense the vibrations of the air in advance to determine the direction of the opponent's attack, and be prepared to dodge or counterattack in advance!
To take a step back, even if the opponent's attack is not detectable, the opponent will see the circle of whips floating in the air and hesitate a little before hitting them. This hesitation will give Bedivere and Arthur a few precious tenths.
Seconds of response time allowed the two of them to survive the enemy's attack.
This was also a protective move he came up with at noon when he was fighting against the Desert Demon Shark that Matt had transformed into. At that time, the whip was placed on the ground to sense vibrations in the ground, but Bediwell felt that he could do a better job, vibrating from the air alone.
You can determine the direction of the enemy's attack.
"It's a good idea." Arthur looked at the whip protection circle released by the werewolf and asked: "But what if the enemy attacks from the air or underground?"
"There's nothing we can do then," Bedivere said with a bitter smile. He only had one whip in his hand and couldn't guard against so many directions: "At that time, we could only rely on adapting to circumstances. At least we had fewer directions to pay attention to.
."
"Okay." Arthur didn't ask any more questions. They had arrived at a relatively open area. The surrounding trees were not very high. If the enemy wanted to attack from the air, in addition to being able to fly, they could only climb.
Go to the top of the tree and jump out suddenly. But doing so will definitely make a loud noise, and Arthur and the others should be able to notice it.
"The enemy is very fast, and it is easy to be ambushed in the dense forest. Let's just wait here. Wait until Ivan and Tristan come to join us."
"Agree." After seeing the speed of that strange black figure, Bediwell no longer dared to neglect. Instead of becoming a target for the enemy in the dense forest, it is better to stick to the position, shrink a little, and wait for the support of his companions. Although it will
It's very shameless, but in this case, surviving is the most important thing!
"Coming!" Arthur reminded. Seeing that they could not occupy the advantageous location, the enemy had no choice but to attack in groups. A large group of monsters were wandering among the shadows of the trees on the edge of the clearing, numbering at least ten.
"Arthur, do you have any spare weapons that can pick me up?" Bedivere only had a tungsten turtle and snake whip in his hand, which he had to use to form a defensive circle. He was unsure when fighting in close quarters.
"Use this. Remember to return it to me when you go back." Arthur gave the werewolf a short photon dagger. This was the only spare weapon that the King of Knights brought with him when traveling. He could have broken the seal of the holy sword.
He opened it to take out the Holy King's Sword for use, but the situation was urgent and if he tried to unseal the Holy Sword separately, he would be easily attacked by monsters!
"Forget it!" Bediwell held the photon dagger in his right hand and held the whip in his left hand for warning. The photon dagger emitted a crimson light. It seemed that its nature was more towards generating high heat than cutting. This is better, Bediwell.
Weir thought to himself. Thermal weapon attacks are more effective against plant monsters.
Arthur and Bedivere were back to back, facing the enemy with all their strength in a defensive circle composed of tungsten turtle tongue whips. One long and one short, one green and one red, the two light blades reflected each other. As soon as the two were ready, the monsters started to attack.
They attacked like crazy. Under the excess light of the light blade, Bedivere saw clearly the appearance of these strange creatures for the first time:
