Chapter 92 Level 5 Tree Beast
In the Willow Blade Forest, besides the straight trunks and blade-like leaves, there are willow blade fruits on the branches.
When the fruits ripen, they fall to the ground automatically. They are the size of eggs, green, and have gear-like hard shells on the outside. When you step on them, they make a "crunching" sound.
Li Ming walked slowly in the woods. At night, his eyes could clearly see things about five or six meters away, but his consciousness could sense things more than ten meters away.
To sense things farther away, he would have to consume energy. Li Ming should focus on saving physical energy. A range of more than ten meters is relatively safe. Moreover, with the passive power of the wisdom eye, Li Ming can sense danger in advance.
As he continued to move forward, Li Ming did not encounter any wild animals after several kilometers, as if there were no wild animals in this area at all.
"What's going on? Is it safer the further in you go?"
Li Ming whispered to himself, and gradually relaxed. At the same time, the surrounding environment also changed slightly.
When we first entered the Willow Blade Forest, the trees were dense, with one tree every four or five meters. This density was already very high for a forest, but as we went deeper, the Willow Blade Forest began to become sparse, with the distance between trees reaching more than ten meters or even dozens of meters.
And sometimes there were some other trees mixed in. These newly appeared trees were different from the Willow Blade Forest. They looked like willows, but the difference was that these trees did not hang down branches, but soft vines.
The vines grew from the branches at the top of the tree and then hung down to the ground. They were as thick as an adult's arm and were green in color. Each one was connected to the ground, as if growing on the ground. Such vines protected the tree trunks like fences.
Each tree looked like a cage. Although Li Ming did not know or remember such plants, he still had to be careful to avoid them in this sparse and wide area.
There was a bush only half a foot high under his feet, which was soft to step on. At the same time, there were black objects like dead branches around, and occasionally some black stones could be seen protruding from the bushes.
Some of the stones even have many holes, which is extremely strange.
Li Ming's figure quickly stepped into this area, and his eyes kept looking around. The visible distance was limited, but the black dead branches and black strange rocks were very conspicuous.
Li Ming tried his best to avoid any suspicious objects and walked slowly, taking every step with extra caution.
'Crack'
A light sound came from under his feet, and Li Ming also felt that he had stepped on something. Just listening to the sound, it seemed that a branch was broken. Li Ming took his foot away and looked down. A black branch with thick round ends and thin in the middle was broken by Li Ming's foot.
"This is..."
Li Ming frowned and leaned over to look carefully. When he looked closely, Li Ming's face suddenly changed. This black object was not a branch, but a bone!
"Bone...!"
Li Ming was even more surprised and muttered to himself, narrowing his eyes slightly, turning his head, and continued to look carefully at the huge black stones and black dead branches around him.
"These... are all bones!"
Li Ming stood up slowly, and was sure that the branches and stones with holes that he had mistaken for were actually bones.
The body shape and body structure of alien creatures and earth creatures are completely different, and even the bones and blood in the body are completely different. Without extremely high cognition, Li Ming could not recognize these things at all, but after careful observation and in-depth exploration of consciousness, Li Ming could still recognize them.
At this time, Li Ming became nervous again, because the appearance of bones was enough to show that this area was either a hunting ground or a feeding ground, which was extremely dangerous.
"It seems that we can't relax our vigilance at any time..."
Li Ming secretly muttered to himself, and at the same time increased the scope of consciousness exploration, and powerful mental abilities were released.
The consciousness of the phantom, like a signal ripple, spread out around with Li Ming as the center, and all the biological information of the path will directly enter Li Ming's brain.
As soon as he received the information, Li Ming's face immediately became gloomy, his head slowly turned to the left like a machine, and his eyes widened a little.
"No way..."
Li Ming narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at a vine tree.
This tree is the same as other vine trees, but that is only the appearance. When Li Ming sensed it with his wisdom eyes, he realized that it was a tree beast, and it was a fifth-level strength.
In a sense, tree beasts and wild beasts are basically the same. They both rule an area of the forest. The difference is that wild beasts can migrate and move constantly, and their territory is not fixed. However, if the food supply is stable, they will not migrate easily. Moreover, when they are hit by some irresistible disaster, they will also migrate in an evasive manner.
But tree beasts are different. They can only control a fixed area and cannot move.
From the ground, there are a total of seven such vine trees near the area where Li Ming is, but after sensing it, Li Ming found that these are not seven vine trees, but one!
The one that Li Ming is looking at is the main tree, and the other six are just the roots and stems extending from the ground, which is equivalent to its clones or arms that conceal people's ears. If it were not for the powerful wisdom eyes, it would be impossible to detect this.
However, this kind of creature is not mentioned in the Demon Cave Star Guide. The Demon Cave Star Guide basically does not have any introduction about the fifth-order creatures. It only mentions one thing, that is, if you encounter this kind of creature, you must retreat and escape immediately.
Because creatures of this level are no longer controllable by primary star abilities.
Li Ming looked around and found that he was already in the middle of this area. At the same time, he turned his eyes and looked at the seven trees carefully. Previously, he only knew that they were different from the trees in Willow Blade Forest, but now it seems that, Not only is the appearance different, the location is also very special.
Seven trees, distributed in seven positions, formed a circular area, surrounding Li Ming in the middle. Looking at the black bones on the ground, Li Ming could already feel the aura of danger!
"Since the star registration ability is invalid...then we must leave here immediately!"
Li Ming whispered like this, already planning to leave this place, but it was obviously too late.
The main tree of the rattan tree was the first to experience something strange. The arm-thick rattan trembled slightly, and at the same time the entire trunk flashed with a faint red light. Although the red light was very weak, it was particularly conspicuous under the dark night sky.
Li Ming was first attracted by the red light and felt a bit familiar, but he had no time to think about it because the six surrounding rattan trees also began to tremble.
Li Ming did not dare to be negligent at all. He raised his right hand, and the stardust weapon Hui Long appeared in my hand.
'Puff puff.' The sound of flapping wings disrupted Li Ming's tense rhythm. A white object fell from the sky. The featherless wings flapped hard, and the white and fat body became a burden on those wings.
What flew over was this featherless white-striped chicken named Moore. It flapped its fleshy wings desperately over a giant black bone more than ten meters away from Li Ming. But when it was one meter away from the black bone, Moore His expression suddenly tightened, and his facial features seemed to be squeezed into a ball.
"The right wing... seems to be cramped..."
One wing suddenly became stiff and stretched straight. Moore's eyes widened instantly. The other wing flapped wildly, but it only held up for a second or two.
'thump'
With a soft sound, Moore's entire body fell onto the black bones.
