Chapter 421 An Increasingly Strange Island
This forest seems to be the nemesis of the bugs. Although the number of bugs behind is unimaginable, they are just delivering food here. I don’t know if it’s because the bugs didn’t realize that the trees were their real threat or for other reasons. Anyway, the bugs didn’t regard these big trees as real targets to attack, and the white smoke emitted by the trees was very harmful to the bugs. It is said to be like corpse powder. As long as it touches the slightest bit, it will immediately turn into pus. It is as fast as melting ice cream with boiling water.
Although the bugs continued to charge one after another, these bugs were eventually blocked by the woods. About an hour later, when we stood on the coastline and could no longer hear any sound, I dared to bring others closer. That forest.
Compared to when we fled from here in embarrassment an hour ago, the forest now is a completely different scene. The tree trunks that were originally nearly two meters high from the ground now feel like ordinary trees, because the roots supporting their trunks are all buried by the black debris left by the insect corpses. The thick insect corpses have forcibly raised the ground in the jungle by more than two meters, so that walking on it now feels like standing on the beach, because the black debris under your feet is very fine, and it is simply more dense than the ground. The fine sand sifted in layers is still broken.
"Aren't all these under our feet just bug fragments?" a child asked aloud as he walked.
Another child immediately replied: "What else do you think it is?"
"It's so scary. If it weren't for this forest, wouldn't we all be buried in the worm's belly?"
"Yes, yes! Bugs are the most annoying thing!" This was a girl's voice.
While the children were discussing the insect wave enthusiastically, Kristina noticed that I was sniffing hard. She gave me a confused look, but before she could ask any questions, I started talking to myself. "It's strange! The white steam corroded so many bugs, but there is no odor left!"
Kristina, who was still wondering what I was doing, was stunned when she heard what I said, and then she reacted and said: "That's right! There is no smell of bugs at all, it seems that they have been neutralized together!"
"These trees should be specially designed to prevent bugs from escaping, so they can be purified so cleanly!" A child about ** years old suddenly said.
Kristina and I both glanced at the boy in surprise, but the other boy suddenly smiled shyly. Then he said: "I usually like to read detective novels, so my reasoning skills are pretty good!"
Kristina and I were both stunned when we heard this answer, because it seemed like Kristina and I were still watching cartoons when he was his age. Of course, in addition to watching cartoons, I was also exposed to a lot of high-tech products and biotechnology when I was seven or eight years old, but that was just because of my different status. Strictly speaking, my childhood was actually the same as Most kids are the same. It’s just that I have fewer friends. In comparison, this kid who started studying detective novels at the age of seven or eight is really a different kind of existence.
Because of my status, I was surprised by this child's hobbies. But I wasn't too surprised. After all, I have seen a lot of extraordinary children. In contrast, Kristina's surprise was more obvious, because although she was still a relatively outstanding talent, her life as a child was very normal and she did not have such exaggerated experiences.
Although we were surprised by this child's hobby, it was not a big deal and we didn't pay much attention to it. After laughing a bit, he started to move forward.
It's really ironic to say that. Thanks to the ground raised by these insect scraps, it was much easier for us to walk back. The reason why it was difficult to pass when we came here before was because the tree roots were intertwined to form a dense fence-like structure, so we had to constantly cut down the tree roots blocking the road in front of us before we could move forward. But after the ground is raised. The only ones on the same level as us are the tree trunks. Although these tree trunks are also very thick, the distance between them is large enough, so our journey is actually a lot easier.
After returning to the wall again, no child dared to touch those walls this time. I took the lead and flew over first to investigate what was going on behind the wall, and all I saw was a large, empty ditch. Originally, this huge trench, which was more than 20 meters wide and 200 meters deep, was filled with insects. Now, because all the insects have died in the woods, it has been cleared out. but. It doesn't mean that there are no bugs in the trench here. At least from where I look, I can still see a lot of bugs crawling in it. However, compared to the previous state of being full of pits and valleys, now this situation can really only be regarded as a few bugs. Not to mention Kristina and I, as long as there are three or five ordinary players advancing in a formation, there will basically be no problems, and we can advance very easily.
After confirming that it was safe behind the wall, I waved to indicate that I could come over. Kristina directly used magic to lift the ground outside the wall to form a slope. Then the children went straight up the slope to the wall. However, there is a different way to reach the opposite side of the trench, because this trench is more than 20 meters wide, and ordinary people will definitely not be able to jump over it, and the sky above this trench is an entire restricted area. I am very sure that this forbidden air field did not exist before, because I flew here when I came to test the depth of the trench, but now there is suddenly a forbidden air field here. It's clear that we won't be allowed to fly over.
Although we cannot fly, a small ditch cannot stop us. I directly summoned Lucky, then asked him to spread his wings over the trench, and let the children walk over his wings.
As a huge creature with a length of more than 100 meters including head and tail, Lucky's wings have a wingspan of nearly 150 meters when fully extended. Wings of this size have to cover a small ditch 20 meters wide. It's really not a big deal.
After passing through the trench, we entered a relatively normal forest. The plants here are the more common trees in the game, but compared with the big trees on the edge of the island, the trees here are obviously much taller. Trees below fifty meters here are considered small, those between seventy and eighty meters tall can only be considered medium height, and some larger trees can even grow up to a hundred meters tall. The reason why such exaggerated plants are invisible on the outside of the island is because the ground of the island in the inner circle of the trench is more than ten meters shorter than the outside. In addition, due to the obstruction of the inverted city wall, we naturally cannot see the plants behind because of the angle. .
"President, I think it is necessary to tell you something." We were walking well when Kristina suddenly said this, which made me immediately look back in her direction in confusion, but the result was... It doesn't matter, this turn of events really shocked me.
"Holy crap! What's going on?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation...)
