At the beginning, I traveled through the wilderness, and I controlled the beasts to survive.

There are dots of light green spots on the surface of the umbrella cover. In the dim environment of white fog and dim light, a faint green light shines.

Every once in a while, the huge purple mushroom will spit out purple powder visible to the naked eye from under the umbrella cover, like breathing, and spread around.

The white mist and purple powder mixed together, causing the mushroom forest ahead to be shrouded in a lavender smoke screen, making the road to the depths difficult to see clearly.

"Spores, those giant mushrooms should be spraying spores. I don't know if they are poisonous. Let's send a drone in first to check the situation."

Lu Xiuning took out the thermal imaging lens from his backpack, installed it on the drone, and controlled the drone to fly to

Yinyi can fly. In fact, it can fly to high altitudes with a lens to take pictures, and it is also more intelligent. However, everyone is worried that when Yinyi explores, unexpected things will happen here, such as encountering powerful soul beasts that are difficult to resist.

Although this probability is very low, it is not impossible. Just in case, drones are still used to perform shooting tasks.

"It's time to find a flying spirit beast... The flying spirit beast can not only perform shooting tasks, but also be responsible for guarding, which is very helpful to us." Lu Xiuning controlled the drone and flew to the mushroom forest. Above, he sighed.

Controlling a drone depends on luck. If you encounter a spirit beast with a long attack range, the probability of the drone being blown up is close to 100%. Every time you shoot with a drone, everyone is ready to blow up the drone.

Fortunately, this time the drone was still not destroyed by the spirit beast in the forest.

After flying about 300 meters away, Lu Xiuning controlled the drone to return, inserted the memory card into his mobile phone, and checked the video footage.

Flying above the forest, far from the ground, the picture becomes very blurry.

"35°C... How can the temperature in the forest be so high?!" Han Ning couldn't help but be surprised when he looked at the light red color patch on the thermal imaging screen and the temperature display next to it.

The temperature in the place where they usually stay is not very high, and can even be said to be very pleasant. It is generally maintained at around 23℃, and it will be even lower on rainy days, dropping to below 15℃.

"Maybe it's because of the high humidity and the muggy heat in the forest."

Lu Xiuning dragged the progress bar, looked at it for a long time, and breathed a sigh of relief. "Although it is relatively hot, except for the purple mushrooms, the number of living things inside is relatively small, and there are almost no traces of biological activity."

"There are two possibilities. The huge mushroom is a kind of soul beast, and it will hunt other soul beasts in the forest, thus causing a sharp decrease in the types of creatures."

"The second type is not suitable for living creatures to survive for some reason, such as... extremely poisonous!"

"But...this mountain line is full of big purple mushrooms, and we can't even take a detour even if we want to."

Luo Chen on the side heard this and subconsciously looked around at the mountain lines on the left and right sides.

This is a mountain range that slowly rises upward. The entrance into the mountain forest is filled with endless purple mushrooms. Looking further into the distance, the view is obscured by mist and spores.

"What do you mean, can we get in or not?" Lin Tianhe had already taken out the medical mask.

"Since it's an exploration, you should go in and give it a try. You shouldn't be scared off by the difficulties."

Han Ning looked at the gradually rising mountains ahead. With his eyesight, he could only see a dark patch.

"Anemone wood has purifying properties. Maybe the toxins in the spores are useless to us, and...the spores may not be poisonous. Let's try it at the edge of the forest first."

Lu Xiuning packed up the drone and made a decision directly.

They no longer hesitated and walked straight to the dividing line between the forest and the swamp. Lu Xiuning first sent out his own anemone tree, walked into the mushroom forest, and commanded it to use its purification ability.

"Boo~"

The anemone plant-like body glowed with a faint green light, and the white mist and purple spores in the air gathered at its roots like a vacuum cleaner.

Soon, a 2-meter-wide vacuum zone without any white mist or spores formed around the anemone tree.

The tiny spore particles are not absorbed and collect under the roots, forming a puddle of powder.

"It's feasible. After all, the strength of our anemone wood has reached the level of four mutations, and its purification ability is no longer what it used to be." Lu Xiuning nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand for others to follow.

This is just the purification ability of one anemone tree. With Yinyi and the other two anemone trees, the purification range is directly expanded to 20 meters away. This is the result of Yinyi's desire to save energy.

On the forest floor, there are densely packed purple mushrooms and some grass with a purple sheen.

At first, everyone was worried that the big purple mushroom was a spirit beast and would suddenly attack them at some inadvertent time.

But as he gradually went deeper into the mushroom forest, Han Ning discovered that these large mushrooms were more like special plants without intelligence. Apart from spitting out spores, they showed no danger.

Of course, it is also possible that it is due to the deterrence of Yin Yi, but this probability is very low. The entire mountain range is full of big mushrooms. If it is a soul beast, how much energy will be needed to supply them.

The four people choose a direction, release the drone first, and detect the dangers ahead before continuing forward.

Facing an unfamiliar environment, Han Ning asked Egg Pancake to follow his feet and not run around.

In this way, after walking for about 20 kilometers in the forest, one foot deep and one foot shallow...

In front of me, there is still an endless forest of purple mushrooms.

Although this mountain range is not steep, there is no road ahead. We can only rely on anemone trees to forcibly open up a walkable path, so everyone is not moving very fast.

20 kilometers, took 4 hours.

And... along the way, I didn't see a single living thing except purple mushrooms.

"It's weird, it's so weird... In such a large forest, there isn't a single living creature? You can't even see a corpse."

Han Ning suddenly stopped and wiped the sweat from his head.

"Have you noticed that the further you go in, the higher the temperature becomes? I estimate that the temperature now has exceeded 38°C. It's so hot."

Lin Tianhe took off the mask on his face and fanned it with his hands.

Unlike several humans, the anemone trees seem to like the environment here very much. Ever since they entered the forest, their leaves have been swinging.

Han Ning even saw through the panel that Yinyi's wood affinity increased by 0.01 in just 4 hours.

You know, in the academy, Yin Yi will basically not automatically improve the wood affinity.

This was one of the reasons why he insisted on not going back.

The forest is filled with rich wood elements!

"We started at around 7 o'clock in the morning and have been walking for seven or eight hours now. Let's rest for a while and replenish our strength."

Lu Xiuning found a relatively clean place to clean up a little, and motioned for everyone else to sit down.

"Huh...it's too hot. Drink some water. Drink some water."

The anemone trees were on guard, and the four of them sat down on the ground.

Han Ning unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle and was about to pour water.

Suddenly, his ears twitched slightly.

There seemed to be a faint sound coming from the front left of the forest.

There will be two chapters later
