Chapter 12 Taboos in the Restricted Area

Facing the provocation of Blood Shadow, Luan Ya's eyes became more murderous, and he looked at Team Lei.

Team Lei looked as usual, and spoke lightly.

"Cross."

Hearing the words, the cross picked up the bow without saying a word, pulled it away instantly and shot an arrow towards the sky.

The speed was so fast that there was a sharp whistling sound, and its arrow was like a flash of lightning, piercing through the eagle hovering in the sky in an instant.

Blood flowers bloomed in the sky, and the eagle let out a shrill scream, fell down, and landed on the ground between the two teams with a bang.

At the same time, one member of the Blood Shadow Squad trembled violently, spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face paled instantly.

It was his eagle, different from Luan Ya's dog, this eagle was controlled by his own psionic energy, under the backlash at this moment, his whole body was severely injured.

The rest of the Blood Shadow Squad were full of murderous intent, but was stopped by Captain Blood Shadow, who slowly stood up from the dog's corpse, instead of looking at Luan Ya, he stared at Team Lei.

Team Lei also looked at him coldly.

The two looked at each other for a long time, each snorting coldly.

"Let's go." Lei Dui said calmly, and walked forward, followed by Luan Ya and others, including Xu Qing.

He felt the deep hostility between the two teams, so he glanced back at the members of the Blood Shadow team, and saw that they were waiting for Ma Si and Fat Shan, but unfortunately, these two would never appear.

Xu Qing kept silent, looked away, followed Lei Dui and others, and gradually left the camp.

The forbidden area seemed not far from the camp, but in fact, it was still some distance to walk there.

The group of them walked for about half an hour before they saw the dark forest in the distance.

Seen from the outside, this restricted forest is boundless, and it doesn't know how much it spreads.

Now it is the time when the sun is high and the sun is strong, but inside the forbidden jungle, it seems that there are two worlds outside.

From a distance, you can see the sky at the end of the jungle, where there seems to be a storm gathering, and lightning visible to the naked eye dazzles and haunts it, making the entire restricted area feel mysterious and dangerous.

Xu Qing watched all this and followed silently. No one in the Thunder team spoke on the road, but as the distance from the penalty area got closer, Xu Qing noticed everyone keenly, and the muscles of his whole body began to gradually tense, and so did he.

Until the feeling of stepping into a cold world surfaced all over Xu Qing's body, and as all the warmth in his body was instantly removed, he entered the restricted area.

It seemed that all the pictures he saw in the normal world were also cleared.

The familiar biting coldness awakened his memories of being in the ruined city in the rain of blood.

So he took a deep breath, the vigilance in his heart was strong, and he instinctively grasped the iron stick tightly, just like when he was in the ruins.

The difference is that the city is in ruins, but here...

The trees are twisted like the shadows of ghosts, the mud is rotten like the soil of the underworld, and the branches and leaves are like minions covering the sky.

But the members of the Thunder team are obviously familiar with this place.

They carried weapons on their backs, and the road they walked was obviously a common place. Every step was very detailed. Some places were obviously normal, but they just skipped them, and some places seemed dangerous, but they stepped forward.

There are also areas that are bypassed for no reason. In this way, some dangers are avoided along the way.

Xu Qing followed behind, paying close attention and remembering everything.

But he also found some strange things, not all the journeys are led by the Lei team, sometimes it is a wild ghost, sometimes it is Luan Ya, and they replace each other.

Although the speed of the crowd was not fast, apart from hearing the roars of some ferocious beasts in the distance, it was considered safe.

Even if there were some poisonous insects, they did not approach after Luanya lit a stick of incense.

After walking for about an hour, they didn't say anything during the whole process, and they stopped by a mud, and each other breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Qing noticed that Luan Ya took out some medicinal powder and sprinkled it in the mud, and soon a group of poisonous insects came out of it, which seemed to be aggressive, but she looked as usual, took out another powder and scattered it with a wave of her hand, the poisonous insects were restless, and quickly scattered , the silt calmed down.

After doing this, everyone squatted down one after another, picked up the mud skillfully, and smeared it all over their bodies.

"Do you remember the details on the road?" Team Lei smeared his whole body, while signaling Xu Qing to do the same.

Xu Qing nodded, picked up the mud and began to apply it without hesitation, and at the same time glanced at Luan Ya, he felt that the other party seemed to know some poison techniques.

"Skip over the avoided place because the leaves are severely withered but intact, which means that no beast has passed by, and there is unknown existence."

"The area you step on directly is because there are beast feces on the ground, and the biological instinct is to choose a safe area to excrete, so it means that there will be no excessive danger and human-eating quagmire."

"As for the scope of avoidance, it is because of the barbarian's nose. He has a sensitive nose and can smell the presence of some dangerous beasts. You will learn a lot along the way, so remember as much as you can."

Hearing this, Xu Qing glanced at the Man Gui, who also turned his head at this moment, grinning at Xu Qing.

"As for this silt, it is a place that our team discovered many years ago containing night lizard skin lesions. Applying it all over the body can not only cover our breath, but also deter us."

"Going forward is the direction we are going to, and walking north, there is the poisonous dragon pond. Due to the different landforms of the restricted area, the jungle was spontaneously divided into several areas by scavengers."

"Poisonous Dragon Pond is one of them, but we won't go there this time." Team Lei finished smearing as he spoke.

Xu Qing had already finished at this moment, when he got up, the cross who walked past him, although he questioned Xu Qing's following yesterday, still said something with a cold face.

"Pay attention to your alienation point. The heterogeneity in the restricted area is rich. You must always pay attention. Once the alienation exceeds the standard, no one can save it."

Xu Qing nodded, having already noticed this.

He could feel that the heterogeneous concentration in the restricted area was extremely high, but it was much weaker than when the ruins of the city were at their peak.

It's just that he has accumulated a lot of heterogeneity now, so even if he is not practicing at this moment, just breathing, the alienation point on his arm will start to tingle faintly.

So he took out a white pill and put it in his mouth, instead of swallowing it, he held it in his mouth and let it melt slowly.

Soon, everyone finished painting, looked at each other, and moved on.

But it is a little different from the previous journey. On the next road, their speed is slower, and everyone has their weapons out of their hands.

Xu Qing swept their weapons.

The barbarian is a steel shield and mace, the Lei team is a glove, the cross is a longbow, and Luan Ya takes out a serrated dagger with a cold glow on it.

A few days ago, Xu Qing went out to follow Fat Mountain and had other gains.

Because of my keen hearing, I heard many scavengers talking to each other, and learned a lot of information that I didn't know before.

For example, weapons, which he now knows, are divided into magic treasures, talisman treasures, and heavy treasures.

Among them, the magic weapon is a legendary thing, which is quite rare.

It is rumored that every magic weapon has different levels of heterogeneous pollution, which will increase with use, and it is extremely difficult to remove, so it is basically a non-renewable resource, coupled with its huge power, it is naturally extremely precious.

Thus, the special existence of treasure-raising people was born. They are often raised in captivity since they were children, and use their bodies to dilute the heterogeneity of magic treasures.

Team Lei also said this at the beginning.

In addition to magic treasures, there are also talisman treasures and heavy treasures.

Although the former talisman treasures are also rare, compared to magic treasures, they are still a luxury to ask for. As for the latter heavy treasures, they are common.

They are often made of special materials and are weapons that ordinary people can use.

Xu Qing felt that his iron sign might be a treasure, and the ones in the hands of these people in front of him were obviously of this kind.

Time passed slowly, Xu Qing followed the Thunder team, and gradually walked farther and farther in the restricted area.

On the way, I also encountered some minor troubles, but most of them were dealt with by the barbarian alone.

Occasionally, when encountering a stronger beast, the bow of the cross will shoot out.

As for Luan Ya's attack, it is mainly based on magic. She seems to be able to deter the approaching beasts, which is very inflexible.

During this period, Xu Qing also made a move, grabbing a poisonous snake that shot from behind and crushing it directly.

And after dealing with these, and finding that Xu Qing was able to follow from the beginning to the end of the journey without making any novice mistakes, the cross looked at Xu Qing, less scrutiny, and taught him some experience.

"Children, this restricted area may seem dangerous, but for those of us who are struggling here, as long as we don't encounter the three situations, it is basically safe."

"These three situations, you have to keep in mind."

"The first one is that the strange beasts in the depths of the restricted area have come to the outer area. This kind of situation is not very common, and the range of our activities is actually only the outer area of ​​the restricted area."

"But once encountered, it is extremely dangerous, because we only know the habits and abilities of the alien beasts outside, and the restricted area is too large, and there are many kinds of alien beasts inside, and the abilities are also varied. If you are not careful, you will die."

"The second type is singing." Having said that, Cross' face showed fear.

"There is a saying in the restricted area here, it is said that there will be singing here, and there are very few people who can hear the singing, but I have never heard the singing, and the only one of us who has heard the singing is Team Lei .”

Xu Qing looked at Team Lei.

Team Lei didn't speak, but looked up into the depths of the penalty area, with a hint of complexity in his eyes.

"Let me talk about the third type." Luanya smiled and glanced at Xu Qing.

"Children, the third danger here is very common, and that is the fog."

"As soon as the fog comes out, it's like a person becomes blind, he must get lost, and the fog exists for a long time, but once he loses his way here, he can't get out in time, and he is trapped in the restricted area. With the corrosion of the heterogeneity, his own heterogeneity will naturally gradually increase. , and this often represents the coming of death.

"But there are two ways to resolve it. One is fire, and the other is people who are born or acquired and have strong mental power."

"The former treats the symptoms but not the root cause. Although the fire can disperse the fog in a small area and restore vision, the fog is strange and the fire cannot last forever. As for the latter, one and a half people can appear in the camp in decades. Leave soon, there are better developments."

"There is a fourth danger, that is to encounter a malicious ambush by the enemy." The barbarian who opened the way in front said something dull.

Luan Ya on the side was about to speak, but at this moment, looking at Team Lei who was far away from the penalty area, his expression suddenly changed and he let out a low drink.

"Shut up!"

In the next moment, the bow was crossed, Luan Ya's eyes revealed a faint light, the barbarian's whole body swelled, Xu Qing's hairs also stood up in an instant, and a strong threat suddenly came from the dark forest far away from them.

Soon, faint lights appeared in the pitch blackness. They were pairs of eyes, staring at everyone with indifference and coldness.

Lots of eyes.

And with the appearance of these eyes, giant wolves the size of a buffalo, covered with black scales all over their bodies, slowly walked out.

Looking around, there are at least dozens of them, and even faintly in the distance, it seems that there are more, probably no less than a few hundred.

And the spiritual energy fluctuations emitted by each wolf reached about the second floor, causing the ghosts and the others to change countenance.

"Black scale wolves!"

"They generally only live at the border between the deep part of the forbidden zone and the outer edge. They are not in this area, so how could they come here!"

The cross pupils shrank, and Luan Ya beside him also looked a little pale.

In fact, they knew very well that although a single black-scaled wolf was nothing, but with such a large number, it would be a severe test for them.

The most important thing is that the restricted area is rich in heterogeneity. Once the spiritual energy in the body is exhausted, it can only absorb external spiritual energy to supplement it.And there must be no time to separate the heterogeneity after the battle. If so, the heterogeneity in the body will accumulate extremely quickly, and the risk of alienation will increase infinitely.

Xu Qing also had a slight shortness of breath, the oppressive force from the wolves was enormous.

"Let's retreat first, I'll stop them."

While everyone was shaking, Team Lei spoke in a deep voice and walked out slowly.

A surge of psychic energy that was at least twice as strong as that of the cross erupted from Team Lei as he moved forward.

The wolves also stopped and stared at Team Lei.
