Hunter Queen: Killer Queen

Chapter 352 Discovery×Inquiry×The secret of Shuhai

The real crisis has never been those ferocious beasts and insects, but the fog that appears whenever darkness falls, and the hidden disasters!

Joey didn't know how much he knew about the fog than Yang De and Jie Ge, but the two of them dared to bring people in here. They should know the situation of the fog and be more confident that they could leave the sea of ​​trees and get rid of the fog.

If this is not the case, then Joey can only say that the experience of these two people is completely useless, and they are just pure fools.

In addition, with the appearance of Pappu, Joey didn't know whether he could get rid of these two people, but at least judging from the situation when he was attacked, he did not find the shadows of Biyande and Jaeger nearby.

Thinking about it, even if most of the team is in crisis, the two of them are still certain that they can get to where they want to go!

Cooperate?

It's just a statement. If someone doesn't even have the ability to reach the destination, what qualifications do they have to cooperate with them?

strength.

No matter what you want to do, strength is the key to saving your life after arriving in the Dark Continent.

For example, with the fog problem he was encountering now, Joey had to prepare for the worst, and what to do to protect himself in the fog if he failed to escape from the sea of ​​trees within the time he calculated.

Thinking of this, he quickly came to Qi Duo's side.

Qi Duo held a map in his hand, which showed the general scope of the sea of ​​trees.

Joey just communicated with Qi Duo, got the map, and observed it carefully.

But the more he looked at the scope of the sea of ​​trees on the map, the more serious his expression became, because based on the distance on the map, at their current speed, especially the route after the circle, it would take at least a long time to get out of the sea of ​​trees. Four to five days, and that’s without counting any unexpected delays in the rest of the journey.

But calculated based on this time, many people who are not brave enough will never have the opportunity to walk out of the sea of ​​trees!

The mist can also slow down the consumption, but if he encounters the heavy fog like last night one or two more times, even he may be left in the sea of ​​trees forever.

Is it really impossible to move on at night?

If the night time can be included in the operation, then even if some problems occur in the middle, they will have enough time to leave this sea of ​​trees.

In addition, whether there is fog outside the sea of ​​trees is also an unknown question.

If there is mist outside the sea of ​​trees, then even if you escape from the sea of ​​trees, you will still be in an unsolvable state.

The best way seems to be to find a way to resist the erosion of fog.

When Joey returned the map to Qi Duo, Crook and Gailu walked towards Qi Duo's location at the same time.

There was indeed such a look in Krook's eyes, but there was a bit of surprise in Gailu's eyes.

"You came here because of the fog too?" Gai Lu said while looking at the map in Joey's hand.

Joey nodded: "You guys too! Did you find something?"

As a botanist, Crook has been studying various plants in the sea of ​​trees since entering the sea of ​​trees. Joey is now looking forward to what she can discover from the plants.

Gailu is a poison hunter, coroner, and pharmacist. She appeared here and mentioned the fog, so she probably discovered something.

"There are indeed some discoveries." Crook did not hide it. While speaking, she also took out something covered with black cloth from her arms.

She reached out and took off the black cloth. The thing inside was similar to the bottle in Joey's arms, but now there was not only swirling mist in the bottle, but also a small bare plant root.

The roots of the plant were rooted in the soil at the bottom of the bottle, but no one paid attention to this. Everyone's eyes fell on the branches of the small plant.

Because at this time, a light mist is slowly spitting out from the branch!

"Is this what makes the fog?" Joey thought about this direction and also searched nearby, but he didn't find any plants that could spit out fog.

But what happened to the plant in Crook's hand now?

Did his search miss something?

Joey had some doubts. At the same time, his thoughts were released and he had a tendency to explore the past in the bottle. After Crook did not stop him, his thoughts really invaded the bottle.

At that moment, he suddenly discovered that the plants in the bottle had disappeared, and only a faint mist still existed in the bottle.

"When the light dims to a certain level, this special plant will create fog. That's not right. To be more precise, the fog is its own branches and leaves!

What is even more surprising is that if this thing is covered with a circle, the person using the circle will not be able to see it at all. Even if it is used to condense, it will disappear from people's sight. "Crook shook the bottle and explained.

The mist in the bottle swayed, and at the same time it seemed that the light was getting stronger, and the mist slowly showed signs of shrinking.

But Joey had stopped thinking at this time, and he could clearly see in his eyes that the mist was like a layer of clothes that had been stretched out suddenly lost its support and then covered the branches of the plants and withered.

Joey couldn't help but reached into his arms and took out his own bottle containing the mist.

The mist in his bottle was different from the mist in Crook's hand. They didn't care about the light at all and were still swirling with wild teeth.

Crook just glanced at it and said: "The mist that has lost its branches will always be in a state of excitement. How long this state will last has not yet been determined."

As she spoke, a bottle containing swirling mist appeared in her hand again.

"Is there anything else you want to add?" Gai Lu looked at everything in front of him and said aloud: "If not, I will add that the fog-like things are corrosive. Even if we don't take action, these fogs will be corrosive at night. It invades our bodies during breathing and leaves our bodies when the light is sufficient.

It’s just that they don’t leave without taking anything with them. When they leave, they will also take away our life energy, and in the process, some things like seeds will remain in our bodies to continue to absorb our energy. Nutrients, when the nutrients are sufficient, the seeds will germinate and completely atomize us! "

Joey's face had become a little ugly. His exploration of himself could not reach the level of instrument testing, so he could not find this abnormality in his body at all.

He could only feel that his body seemed to be getting more tired as he encountered more and more fog.

"After this dead branch-like plant releases fog, the fog will be amplified by the trees in the entire sea of ​​trees. This is the most terrifying thing."

Before Joey had time to think about more questions, Crook shook the glass bottle in his hand and gave another piece of information.

Joey instantly understood what Crook meant.

He had been thinking before that after he stopped thinking about the saplings in Krook's hand, he could see some nearby, but these saplings seemed to be only so big, and there were no taller ones at all.

And you must know that the sapling in Crook's hand can be placed in a glass bottle.

The whole tree is only the size of a palm, and it is still in the same state after the mist is released.

With this state and quantity, even if night falls, it will never reach the level of mist covering the sea of ​​trees.

Now that Krook said this, Joey also understood that the trees in the sea of ​​trees are like amplifiers of fog. When the saplings start to release fog at night, these big trees will also release fog.

With Joey thinking this, he also ducked to a nearby big tree. He raised his hand and punched the tree.

The fist tore open the big tree without any hindrance and penetrated into the big tree. Silks of white mist flashed away like slurry in the tree.

"These big trees are just like humans who have been eroded by fog. They also have seeds left in their bodies. However, unlike humans, there does not seem to be atomization between the trees. Instead, they become media and amplifiers for each other to spread their seeds." The three Crooks also followed and analyzed and explained the situation.

"Can the Mind Eliminator remove these seeds?" Qi Duo pushed up his glasses, his expression also not very good.

Crook shook his head: "Plant seeds are entities, and the fog will spread when night comes. Even if the mind-killing master can get rid of the seeds and the hidden fog, it will only slightly delay the time of being atomized. What’s more, there are several mind-killing masters in the team!”

"So the best way is to leave the sea of ​​trees before it atomizes." Gai Lu said helplessly.

Her ability is to eliminate viruses, and there is nothing she can do about this kind of seed.

What Joey was thinking about was how to control the atmosphere to separate the mist so that the mist could not reach everyone, and then let the mind-killing master accurately remove everyone's minds. It seemed that it would be possible to prevent everyone from being atomized.

It's just that the energy he needs to consume is huge, and it is unknown whether the mind-killing master can completely eliminate the mist and seeds.

And there are some problems in the whole plan. For example, can the weather forecasting ability really repel fog?

From the data given by Crook, as well as his own understanding of the fog, this thing does not look like a real fog, but more like a body diffused by a living thing.

Thinking of this, he simply manipulated the weather forecast and experimented with the mist in the bottle in his hand.

The results of the experiment came out quickly. The effect of atmospheric manipulation on fog blocking was not good.

In other words, this fog is just like what he guessed, it is not a real atmosphere at all, so the weather forecast can only rely on atmospheric resistance to block it.

And to maintain a large-scale resistance, even enough to resist the thick fog, the consumption is simply not something Joey can bear.

If it is only used on a small scale for a short period of time, Joey thinks he can still do it, so this method can be reserved as a last resort.

Now, as Gai Lu said, what they have to think about is to speed up their departure from the sea of ​​trees.

But this is not simple either.

In this sea of ​​trees, no one knew what kind of dangers there were, especially the appearance of Pappu, which severely restricted their forward speed.

Detours often occur, and they feel lucky that they didn't get lost in the sea of ​​trees.

The four of them were silent for a while, and their faces showed a sad look unconsciously.

The team was still moving forward despite Qi Duo and others' helplessness, but when night was about to fall, Biyande and Jaeger still chose to stop.

But Qi Duo, who was under pressure this time, didn't want to stop so early. Even if she really wanted to stop, she wanted to know the specific reason.

If the danger of the fog could be used as an excuse before, now that Crook, Joey, and Gail have analyzed the face and attack methods of the fog, this excuse is no longer tenable.

Moreover, no one in the association had explored the sea of ​​trees at night in the previous nights.

There is nothing special about the results obtained.

How could Qi Duo still be able to sit still with such a result?

Jie Ge and Biyande were not far apart at this time. After all, people from the association also discovered Qi Duo's abnormality and gathered around him.

The shrinking of the team naturally brought Biyang De and Jaeger much closer. The arrival of Qi Duo and the questions he raised aroused curiosity in the hearts of the ability users who came here.

"Because there are real hunters in the sea of ​​trees at night!" Jaeger said in a very calm voice.

This vague statement will naturally not satisfy people.

"Things that we can't deal with even with our configuration? And the attack mode of this thing is a life that moves in the sea of ​​trees at night?" Qi Duo's expression was not good.

Although they are afraid of Pappu, who is one of the five major disasters, it does not mean that ordinary dangers will also make them feel afraid!

"The current situation is very simple. We need to continue traveling at night, so get out of the shelter of the fog and face them head-on!" Biyangde suddenly laughed boldly: "Although avoidance is the best way to deal with it, at this point, shelter There is no need to continue hiding now that our mist will become a killer that takes away our lives.”

Jaeger looked at Biyande seriously: "If we really do this, even if we leave the sea of ​​trees, it's unknown how many people will be able to gather together."

"But it's better than being swallowed up by the mist and becoming nourishment in the sea of ​​trees forever!" Bi Yangde retorted.

"I thought you were prepared when you dared to come here again, but I didn't expect you to be as reckless as before." Jiege sighed. It can be heard from the meaning of his words that there should be a relationship between him and Biyangde. Adventures.

"Isn't it the same for you?" Bi Yangde raised the corner of his mouth.

"Because I'm not afraid of the fog. Even if I stay here for a month, the fog can't assimilate me." Jaeger snorted coldly: "But at this point, it's time to tell the secret of the sea of ​​trees."

Biyande nodded, then turned his gaze to everyone: "There is a green lake more than ten kilometers north of the sea of ​​trees. I will wait for your arrival on the giant statue near the lake. So, now you Are you ready to know the true secret of the Sea of ​​Trees?"

He said solemnly, as if he was asking everyone, but he didn't wait for anyone to respond before he spoke: "There are two ways to get through the sea of ​​trees. One is to spend a certain amount of time step by step, every day. At night, I waited quietly for the fog to rise and dissipate, and finally left the sea of ​​trees before I reached my limit.

The other is to call the name of the thing that protects this sea of ​​trees, but when that name is said, everyone will be marked as a challenger. Only those who successfully complete the challenge are qualified to be safe. Leave the sea of ​​trees and be recognized by the sea of ​​trees.

And that name is: "

"etc!"

Qi Duo's face changed slightly, but Biyang De had already said that name the moment she opened her mouth.

"****"
