Chapter 490: Deadly Forest

In the Fire Cloud Forest, Nan Jue and his party wearing military medals seemed to be the first to arrive at Pingling Mountain. They wandered in the Fire Cloud Forest, as if they had lost their way.

In fact, after arriving here, they didn't know where to go, they could only wander around in the Fire Cloud Forest aimlessly, and the old man who had stepped here only told them that the Fire Calamity Fruit should appear In this forest that grows denser with higher temperature.

"Did you hear any sound, like some monster sticking out its tongue?" asked a bronze-skinned officer.

"Don't be suspicious, there are no monsters in such a high temperature here." said the female officer walking at the end of the line.

Countless sweat had been steamed from her forehead by the rising sun, and it was only morning. At noon or afternoon, this place would be a stove that could roast people to death.

"Yezi, do you still have water, give me a sip first...Yezi?"

The bronze-skinned officer walking in front turned his head, only to find that there was nothing behind him!

He lowered his head, and suddenly found that there were traces of being dragged on the fallen leaves all over the ground. His expression changed, and he hurriedly reported to the team members in front.

"Officer Nanjue, Ye Zi, who was in charge of guarding the rear, is gone." The bronze-skinned officer said in a panic.

Nan Jue raised her hand and made a gesture for the whole team to stop. She scanned the quiet forest.

"Let's go back and look for it, she might have fallen behind."

Nan Jue shook her head. Those who will be selected into the team are the elites of the Dunhuang Military Region. They are not only outstanding in strength, but also obey military orders. There is no reason for them to leave the team without saying a word.

"It's not good, Xu Dong is gone too, he should have scouted the way for us just now." Another officer hurried over to report.

Nan Jue's face changed, and he immediately said to everyone in the team: "I'm afraid there are quite a few enemies, let's get out of here as soon as possible!"

"Aren't we going to save Ye Zi? How can we leave our companion behind?" said the bronze-skinned officer.

"If you want to die here, then go on looking for Ye Zi's body!" Nan Jue looked ruthless.

After the order was issued, the group immediately chose to leave this overly dense forest.

Yet in the haste of action,

A few more people went missing strangely one after another.

It was only at this time that everyone realized how terrifying this forest was. The distance between each of their entire team was only a few meters. Seeing that there was blood there, the only thing left was the drag marks among the fallen leaves all over the ground!

Nan Jue is a very powerful mage. When the team members were in danger of their lives one after another, he didn't even notice any demonic aura nearby. This probably indicated that the creature's strength was far above theirs.

Nan Jue told the team members this deduction, and everyone was even more terrified, but the bronze-skinned officer said in puzzlement: "Since its strength far surpasses ours, why does it have to kill us one by one like this?" Didn't you kill us all in one go?"

"It should be enjoying the torture of cat and mouse. If we stayed there just now, it would kill us one by one." Nan Jue said with certainty.

"What the hell is this place? I think we were killed by the monsters lurking in this Fire Cloud Forest before we found the Fire Tribulation Fruit."

...

The leaves of the fire cloud tree like the harsh sunlight the most, including the heat in the air, which will be absorbed by them and transformed into nutrients for the whole tree. The lifespan will end, and new fire cloud leaves will replace them, so the flat-topped mountain is covered with these fiery red leaves like maple leaves, turning into a bright red carpet, walking on it can feel different from the ordinary land high temperature and softness.

When Mo Fan stepped into this fire cloud forest, he regretted it a bit. This forest is like a maze. Every tree looks exactly the same, even the size is the same. The fiery red fallen leaves all over the place make it difficult to tell the direction. Right now, Mo Fan couldn't find the cave that could lead to the inside of the mountain.

Tired from walking, he sat down and rested for a while, thinking whether he should go back to the flame witch and let her take the time to guide him, rather than wandering aimlessly in the forest like this.

As soon as he got up, Mo Fan suddenly felt that his hands were a little sticky. When he picked them up, he suddenly found that his hands were covered with bright red liquid. He put them on the tip of his nose and sniffed them. Mo Fan's expression changed instantly. .

It's blood, it seems to be human blood!

Mo Fan hurriedly lowered his head to look at the leaf cushion he was sitting on, only to find that the color of the fire leaves in this area is more vivid. Shocking bloodstains!

Mo Fan searched around, and found a broken bloody hand between a thick leaf. Judging from the hand bones, it seemed to be a woman.

Mo Fan was also used to seeing corpses. He found out that this woman had not been dead for a long time. While wondering if other mages had arrived here, he found other parts of her body from under the leaves.

After finally finding something that looked like a medal, Mo Fan confirmed the identity of this woman, a military mage.

"Not only is this forest difficult to get out of like a maze, there are also many monsters living in it, I hope Xinxia and the others haven't entered here, otherwise it will be dangerous." Mo Fan buried the corpse up.

Burying corpses is a morality that hunters will abide by. Mage hunters who are often out and about, often don't know which time they will be killed by monsters during a hunt, and their corpses will be exposed in the wilderness. So when I saw the corpse of my colleague, I didn't care about the little effort, and buried it in peace, which was a guarantee for myself to end up like this that day in the future.

It's a ridiculous guarantee, but it also shows that every mage who becomes a hunter is psychologically prepared to die at any time.

...

Others may still have the idea of ​​snatching the fruit of the Fire Tribulation, but Mo Fan is not very interested. On the one hand, the Flame Witch who guards the Fruit of the Fire Tribulation is so powerful that she will die if she grabs it. It will not be frenzied to turn against each other.

Now he just wants to find Xinxia and the others as soon as possible, bring some local products from the burning plains, go back to Shanghai to sell money, change into a good set of magic equipment, and then go back to the violent school and the grandchildren who are always looking for trouble for him, it is not in vain It's time to go! !
