Chapter 3 A Forest Without Soul Beasts

He came across a fork in the road.

No, it's not considered a fork in the road. In this natural spirit beast forest where no humans live, there are no artificially stepped roads. In front of him, there are actually only two forest trails that can be walked, but the degree of danger is unknown.

"Is this... the left or the right?" Uchiha frowned, although he didn't encounter a soul beast right now, but racing against time is a necessary way. It's noon now, so it's still safe.

Once night fell, all kinds of terrifying carnivorous soul beasts began to hunt, and with his current situation, it might be difficult to resist. And once you go the wrong way and walk into the soul beast's lair unknowingly, it will be too embarrassing.

"To the left."

After hesitating for a moment, Uchiha Uranus decided to divert a little and continue on the left side.

Because the ground is very muddy, the surrounding vine roots, rotten leaves and slippery stones make him move very slowly, and the sun in the sky is becoming more and more fierce. If it is not for the dense branches and leaves, his delicate skin may have begun to It hurts.

He has gotten used to the unpleasant smell in the air. He really didn't expect that the Star Dou Forest actually has such a wetland and swamp environment. He thought it was all trees and forests. If there is no clean living water source, even if there is, it is a must for many soul beasts. Tonight at the latest, the real wild survival will begin.

Water, food, shelter. He has not realized any of the three elements of survival so far. Uchiha Yu can only hope that the next road will be easier. Food and water sources are not very worrying. The space soul guide is enough for him for at least ten days. It is really difficult for him. Still nowhere to sleep.

He was really afraid that if he fell asleep, he would wake up in the stomach of a soul beast the next day.

"Didn't you say that the Star Dou Great Forest is a paradise for soul beasts? How come you haven't seen a soul beast for more than two hours?"

After a while, Uchiha found a relatively clean stone with a slightly flat top and climbed up, sat on it and began to rest. The doubt about the disappearance of the soul beasts for no reason still lingered in his heart and did not dissipate.

This is definitely not normal. Compared to the forest, the density of soul beasts must be relatively high. No matter how dull he is, he will not think that a forest without soul beasts is normal. There is definitely something wrong with it.

"Is it really in the territory of high-level soul beasts?" After thinking about it, Uchiha can only come to this conclusion. It's not too high, high-level soul beasts have to eat well, and now I can't even meet a low-level herbivorous soul beast. Is it possible that this high-level soul beast drinks the northwest wind?

"What's the problem? Forget it, let's not think about it, eat something quickly, and then continue walking." He has been wandering around this place for more than two hours, and he hasn't eaten anything yet. Here, food and water should be eaten when he is almost unable to sustain himself, but he seems to have overestimated his endurance.

The food is a simple naan made of dried meat, nuts, flour, eggs, and seasonal vegetables. It is very large, about 60 centimeters wide, round in shape, thin on both sides, two to three centimeters thick, and thick in the middle, about six centimeters. Shelf-resistant, he dug it out in the kitchen at home.

The taste is very good, but you have to chew it carefully. At his age, if he eats too fast, he will accidentally damage his teeth, and his appetite is also small. It is conservatively estimated that such a piece of cake is enough for him to eat for two to three days .

After eating for about a quarter of an hour, Uchiha burped in satisfaction, and then took out a few sips of water. At this point, the rest time was over, and he wanted to continue walking forward. Right now, this place is not suitable for night rest. It's muddy water, unless sleeping on a tree.

After packing up my luggage, I turned over and walked down the boulder, and continued to walk forward. Push away the plants that are in the way, split the thorns with a sharp machete, tear off the cobwebs wrapped around the body, and pat off the slippery moss. Uchiha is walking in this desolate jungle,

Try to carve out a path to walk on.

The dense jungle covering the sky in front of him suddenly thinned out rarely, gradually revealing the blue sky.

The sound of the river flowing gradually became clearer, and soon after, a small river appeared in the boy's field of vision.

Both sides of the river are covered with dense unknown aquatic plants. The river is not rushing, but the water quality is a bit cloudy. The dark green floating algae are floating on the water surface. As the water moves forward, it is hard to see how deep this small river is. But the river is a bit wide, and it is difficult for him to cross the river without the help of tools.

Under visual inspection, the young man knew that this river was not something he could cross. There are no trees growing on both sides, and I can't move the decayed trunks to make a bridge, not to mention the unknown danger in the water.

He didn't dare to step into the river at all, and this river can nourish so many floating algae, it must be the eutrophication of the water body, and the floating algae covers the water surface, and the proliferation of algae will make the water lack of oxygen. In this river, ordinary fish must be Can't survive. There is no artificial salvage here, and judging by the situation, the entire river surface has not been covered. There must be herbivorous spirit beasts that feed on floating algae.

If there are herbivorous soul beasts, there should be carnivorous ones.

I'm afraid this river can't be drunk either. There are too many impurities in the water and the water quality is turbid. Uchiha Uchiha knows that there is nothing on his body that can filter the water source, and it is difficult to achieve safe and pollution-free consumption with the filtering method he knows, but this river is the only water source he has found so far. If he waits until the clean water source he carries to drink Light, I am afraid no matter how dirty it is, I have to hold my nose and drink it.

"How to do it....."

Uchiha Yu looked at the turbid river, and then looked at the surroundings where there was nothing worth borrowing. The environment for crossing this river was a little tangled for a while. In the end is to venture across the river, or away from the return?

After a while, Uchiha made a decision that he could not return, otherwise all the time would be wasted in finding the way, he had to walk along the edge of the river. Soul skills are enough to face most dangers. Moreover, the water source is the place where living creatures must pass. If they can meet spirit beasts, they can follow the traces and directly live in the ready-made lairs, completely saving themselves a series of trivial matters such as building shelters and demarcating safe areas.

After confirming the route, Uchiha Yu began to move on. He did not walk directly by the river, but separated a little distance to ensure a certain degree of safety.

The surrounding trees seemed to be due to the proximity to the water source. The trunks and roots were covered with moss, which was very slippery. The young man alone climbed the slippery, high raised roots, and there was a risk of falling if he was not careful. What's more, he still has a bulky package on his back.

Uchiha Urano walked cautiously along the river.

The river is gurgling, drifting with duckweed and floating algae, and the banks are lush and the vegetation is quite dense.

He walked for about two hours, and the sky gradually darkened.

The surface of the river gradually widened, the water quality gradually became clearer, and the ground also began to have a little hardness. It was no longer like before when you stepped on it and sank half of your foot. Not only did the river widen, but the trees on both sides also thinned out. The dense vegetation was replaced by weeds and bushes. The tall forests receded, the sun shone in directly, and the hot and humid air was blown away by a cool gust at some point.

Uchiha Yu looked back, looked at the road opened up behind him, and the complicated and twisted roots of trees and vines, and then looked at the refreshing lake in the forest in front of him, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and finally, he finally walked out. Sure enough, he guessed right. Since it is running water, there must be a source. If you find the source, it must be clean water. He has had enough of this kind of muddy ground with one foot and one hole.

"It finally came out. It's really strange. This wetland rainforest environment doesn't even have flying insects. No, why doesn't this place, this water source, even have a soul beast drinking water?"

Around the lake in the forest right now, you can clearly see the footprints of beasts, but the creepy thing is that there is nothing around, not like a paradise for soul beasts, more like a hell without life.

"Where the hell am I?"
