Chapter 595: The old ruins of Coral Island in the Southern Continent; crisis at every step; delibera
A tiny rustling sound approached, and the "stones" on the beach suddenly moved!
Chang Le looked closely and saw that they were not rocks, but countless thumb-sized sea cockroaches! They were densely packed, coming out from the cracks between the gravel and rocks, and there were tens of thousands of them crawling up the shallows.
Chang Le saw that there were bright red and white spots on the backs of these sea cockroaches, and immediately realized that these things were poisonous. If they were surrounded and entangled in this number, they would be finished.
She picked up her schoolbag and quickly retreated towards the coconut grove.
Fortunately, the sea cockroaches did not surround her, and their speed was not as fast as Chang Le, so she quickly retreated into the woods.
The sea cockroaches stopped outside the woods, rustling around but not moving forward.
Chang Le became even more alert. This could only mean that there were things in the woods that were more dangerous than these poisonous sea cockroaches.
She moved slowly and cautiously, the sticky and soft alluvial soil under her feet.
The surrounding coconut trees were tall and dense, crisscrossing in the middle and upper parts, and barely any sunlight could penetrate. The air was sticky, salty, and had a rotten smell.
This is not the artificially trimmed green space that used to be a tourist destination. Every step you take feels like you are stepping into mud and rotten soil.
There are tiny flying insects crawling on the ground all the time, automatically avoiding people, but when a large number of them pass by, they produce an irritating gas.
Chang Le could only try to slow down his breathing and release two more vines to guard him.
According to the map and instructions, what she was looking for was in this coconut grove.
"Hurrah!"
A large branch of khaki inflorescence fell from the branches under the weight and landed right in front of Chang Le.
Chang Le took three steps back.
Those are the flowers of the coconut tree. The axillary inflorescences are more than two meters long and have many branches, like huge, ferocious bone spurs. The spathes are spindle-shaped, thickly woody, with fist-sized bumps hanging on them. There are many small forks on the branches, and the ends of the forks and the tops of the tumor-like bumps are dark blue.
It looks like being poisoned.
Chang Le complained inwardly, then quickly raised his hand.
Sure enough! The bump on the coconut tree flower suddenly split open from the top, spurting out a large amount of translucent white coconut juice, which splashed down on Chang Le's head.
The vines first weaved into a net in front of the body, blocking the coconut juice outside, but the vines on the outside were instantly corroded.
Chang Le quickly swung the vines to intercept the juice from the lumps that exploded one after another. With his other hand, he condensed three pieces of ice and shot them towards the tail of the inflorescence.
The whole thing was cut off directly, wrapped by vines and placed gently on the ground.
“Swish, swish…”
The surrounding leaf forest suddenly began to make a strange friction sound, without any wind.
Chang Le thought to himself: As expected.
This coconut grove is no ordinary forest at all. Nearly half of the coconut trees are mutated species called "Huangguoshu".
They are derived from the mutation of coconut trees, and their flowers and leaves look exactly like coconut trees, but they do not produce coconuts. After their flowers bloom, they will grow many yellow bumps similar to coconut fruits, which contain two long branches with claws like tongues, and a large bag of corrosive juice.
After this juice enters the skin of a living creature, it will produce a neurotoxin that makes the prey lose its resistance. Then, the two long branches with hooks will shoot out, grab the prey and eat it.
People eat coconut trees, and Huangguoshu trees eat people.
The information about Huangguoshu tree flashed through Chang Le's mind. Without any pause, he quickly cut off a branch of the inflorescence and threw it into the storage container. Then, at the moment when Li Feng approached from behind, he blocked it with ice and quickly moved away.
Behind him and around him, in an instant, several khaki inflorescences dropped one after another, and dozens of bumps appeared. Two long tongues like lizard tongues extended from the center, and the tail ends were dog claws like the claws of a claw machine.
Of course, the claws of a claw machine grab a handful of air, but this thing grabs a large piece of flesh!
Chang Le recalled the divisions on the map and quickly broke out inland.
With the eighth level of cultivation fully activated, the vines quickly swept forward for more than a thousand meters and directly rushed out of the yellow fruit tree forest.
After the vines reported that there was no one else within a kilometer, Chang Le narrowed his eyes.
She knew that Li Yunfan and Qin Ling were monitoring her in real time.
Thinking about what Ziguiti said about the traitor and the research on fusion, Chang Le has already made a plan.
She secretly activated the [Networking] and raised her hand at the same time. The exploding thunder came out from between her eyebrows, carrying crackling and unstable explosion sounds, covering Chang Le's entire body.
Anyone who dared to approach the Huangguoshu tongue would be electrocuted to a crisp.
【Ten Thousand Thunder Technique】, Thunder Armor, immovable as a mountain.
Individual Huangguoshu species are not particularly powerful, but their numbers are too large. After a few tongues found that they could not catch prey, the Huangguoshu species dozens of meters around joined the hunting team one after another. Countless ochre-colored long arms hung down, and countless long tongues were ready to hunt.
If the stalemate continued, Chang Le would not be able to get out, so she immediately used Thunder Flash, briefly borrowing the speed of lightning to quickly break through.
"call……"
Chang Le rushed out of Huangguoshulin and ran into a desolate piece of sand.
The vines retracted and wrapped around her, alert and vigilant.
There was a sound of wind breaking through the air from the side and behind, and Chang Le threw out a bolt of lightning with his backhand.
"Wow—"
A sharp and tragic cry was heard as the strange bird was hit and quickly rose into the air.
"Half-headed bird!" Chang Le recognized this strange bird.
The strange bird in the sky was over one meter long, with a slender body, and looked like a torpedo when its wings were folded.
Because the top of its head is very flat and strangely shaped, as if it was cut flat by a sharp weapon, it is named "Half-Headed Old Man".
The most annoying thing about the Half-Headed Owl is that it is extremely patient. It can track a target for days, constantly looking for opportunities to launch a sneak attack.
Chang Le looked at the strange bird that was circling overhead, restrained his thunder, and suddenly swung his hand to throw out the vines. The low-flying strange bird dodged vigilantly, but was hit by three water droplets.
The water droplets strangely penetrated the skin of the strange bird and seeped in. The half-headed bird screamed strangely and fell straight down.
The vines bound the strange bird tightly. Chang Le raised his knife and cut off the only white feather on the top of the half-headed bird's head and put it into the storage container.
Then, this completely bald old man, who was unable to find a mate and was destined to be single, was thrown directly into the Huangguoshu forest.
After hunting fruitlessly, the Huangguoshu fish smelled the fishy smell and pounced on it madly to share the food.
Before Chang Le could catch his breath, black holes appeared in the large sand under his feet, and sharp little heads poked out.
Again!
It really is a paradise for alien carnival, the Old Ruins!
Every step is dangerous!
……
control room.
Li Yunfan records everyone's data in real time, including their physical condition and points of items obtained.
On the screen, eighteen people were moving forward steadily, constantly harvesting corresponding items as they moved forward.
Compared with the extreme training a few dozen days ago, although this time is equally dangerous and more complicated, everyone's rhythm, response, and reaction are obviously more stable.
Li Yunfan nodded with satisfaction: "After so many days, things have finally become more stable."
Qin Ling sighed: "This generation of young people are incredible."
"Yes, it has been three hundred years since the Age of Gods, and only now have young people like them who can reach the edge of the ninth level at such a young age. I hope they can lead people all over the world to a new stage."
Qin Ling's eyes fell on Chang Le's sub-screen: "Her surveillance was disturbed just now. How come her breakout to Huangguoshulin was not recorded? Have you found out the reason?"
The technician's forehead was covered with sweat. "We found that there was some other signal intrusion and interference, but this interference seemed to appear out of nowhere and we couldn't find the source. I suspect it was caused by a network-related supernatural power."
"Are you saying that Chang Le has the ability to interfere with the network?" Qin Ling's eyes were solemn.
