Hunter Queen: Killer Queen

"This is really scary." Joey felt a little numb.

There are bugs in the sky that devour life, there are cockroaches on the ground that crawl and cover the forest, and there are existences underground that drag everything like earthworms.

It can be said that this is a more dangerous and terrifying place than the previous river.

"Those special ancient trees are the only survival points in this place." Jin also judged.

And just as they were talking, black spots had already gathered in the sky, and there was a strong tendency to rush towards them.

"Fall on the tree, let's walk on the tree." Jin made a quick judgment.

Joey's movements were not slow either, and he had already led them downwards when Jin spoke: "These things are not clones, but real ones. This is what really bothers me. I don't know what's going on." How big is the forest?"

The small squares obtained from the tower are a new trump card in Joey's hand.

I thought it could play a key role in subsequent explorations, but now it seems that things are not that simple. The dangers on the dark continent do not only come from various human experimental creations!

Last night, Joey and the others conducted research on insects, but they found no trace of artificial modification on these insects, whether it was divine characters, divine patterns, or other powers.

However, from these insects, Joey discovered that the insects that appeared in the tower before were somewhat similar to them.

Perhaps the insects in the tower are based on these monsters.

The insects gathered in the sky found Joey and they had landed on the trees again, and unwillingly hovered over them for a long time before they dispersed and left again.

Several people breathed a sigh of relief and began to shuttle through the trees.

During the day, there are many creatures on the trees. The growth cycles of these things are ridiculously fast, but they are also extremely vicious.

As soon as they find someone approaching, they will jump out of the tree. However, this kind of ordinary animal does not pose a threat to Joey and the others at all. Instead, the blood spattered when killing them will cause corrosion on the tree and on the ground. Effect.

"Perhaps it's not the effect of corrosion, but the effect of time." Jin put forward his own idea as he watched the blood fall on the vegetation and the changes in the vegetation.

"Probably." Liszt answered affirmatively while holding a test tube and looking at the rapidly disappearing blood sample in it.

This thing is a powerful killing weapon, but it is a pity that there is no way to collect and store it.

"Be careful, don't get stained by blood." Although he knew that Joey's weather forecast would isolate the blood, Du En couldn't help but warn him, and even made second-hand preparations.

Once something unexpected happens, Du En will take remedial measures as soon as possible.

Joey and his group became more and more cautious in the forest, but as they got further and further away from the tower, the growth rate of the animals in the forest became slower, and it seemed that the power of time was gradually weakening.

"It won't stagnate in the end." A curious look appeared on Joey's face.

At first, the growth rate was super fast, then it gradually returned to normal, and then slowed down!

"With the strength of these animals, if the speed is reduced, they will all die soon!" Jin expressed his thoughts.

Indeed, these current animals are the most common existences. If their speed is really slowed down and they can move like koalas, then there is really little hope of surviving in this forest.

The existence of forest monsters and other monsters coming across the river must pass through this forest.

No matter what effect the blood of these animals has, they are a kind of food.

Blood that speeds up the passage of time may also scare predators, but it is not impossible to deal with it.

No matter which state it is in, as long as the blood in the target's body is dried up, what is left will be excellent food.

Speeding up the passage of time can also allow the group to survive by numbers, but if the speed is slowed down, the speed of reproduction will slow down, and the only thing waiting for them will be extinction!

With this thought, Joey and the others had some expectations.

But the further we move forward, the less likely we are to expect it!

Three days later, this expectation was gone, because at this time, what Joey and the others saw in front of them was no longer a dense forest. The trees here began to become sparse, and many of them had even dried up.

There were almost no animals visible on the ground. The animals Joey and the others encountered a day ago had become normal.

But from then on, the number of animals has been decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and now it has become a luxury to find an animal.

There are more bones on the ground, and there are insects crawling over the bones from time to time.

All kinds of bugs, this place seems to challenge human imagination of bugs. Horrible, disgusting, and unexpected strange bugs are everywhere.

And they also seem to form a new ecological circle, with predators, prey, scavengers, everything.

Even when Joey stood on the branches of the big tree, his scalp felt numb, and he had no idea of ​​stepping into that land.

In addition, moving forward, the big trees have lost their sheltering effect, and there are also a large number of insects on various dead tree trunks. Although the trees have not been destroyed, there is no place for Joey and the others to stay.

"Fly over?"

"Otherwise? I don't want to get sticky when I step on it." Jin spread his hands.

"Stop talking, I'm disgusted." Yida joined in the conversation, and then turned around: "Liszt, your robot is completely closed, right?"

"Uh, maybe." Liszt wasn't too sure.

He is just a game maker who uses props to replicate robots. He doesn't know anything about the driving and structure of Gundam.

Yida turned to Joey and showed a sweet smile: "Please, brother Joey."

"No problem." Joey didn't shirk. He just used the atmosphere to isolate the bugs from the robot's body. This was really not a problem for him. It was just a matter of adding a command to the weather beast behind him.

Joey was not idle along the way. While constantly taking stock of his own situation, he was also improving the use of his operational abilities.

The Weather Mind Beast was his best experiment along the way. Now Joey didn't even need to ask for many things. The Weather Mind Beast could do it completely automatically.

However, from the moment it landed on the tree, the Weather Mind Beast didn't have much room to play.

In order to feel the most realistic situation, Joey and the others would not always operate in the super suitable environment created by the weather forecast.

In this way, the weather mind beast is more like a counterattack type beast. Only when danger comes, the weather mind beast will control the atmosphere to form a defense and fight back.

"How about I blow them up with a gust of wind, and then we can leave?" Joey had no idea of ​​walking on the bugs, because just thinking about it made people feel sick.

To be honest, he didn't choose to close his eyes now, out of respect for the scene in front of him.

"I don't know how big it is here yet, so let's leave it at that." Jin refused.

Although the strong wind will blow away some bugs, there will definitely not be too many. Even if this approach brings unpredictable consequences, they may be the unlucky ones.

Now that the decision has been made, everyone no longer hesitates.

It was impossible for them to stop because of some bugs, so after taking a deep breath, everyone stepped into this world of bugs!

The moment they entered this land, the insects approaching them seemed to have discovered some delicious food, and suddenly rioted towards them.

But before he could even get closer, a circle of flames had already risen twenty meters in front of Joey, enveloping all the bugs in it.

At the same time, with Joey as the center, a gust of wind blew up, which also drew a large number of insects into the flames.

"They did it first!" Joey looked innocent, and at the same time, a space suit quickly appeared on his body.

The spacesuit completely wrapped Joey, and the tingling discomfort in his heart slowly disappeared: "Do you need it?"

"Of course!" almost in unison.

Joey is a little lucky now. He is glad that he chose weather forecast when he created his ability.

He had a premonition that he would definitely go to the Dark Continent in the future, so even if his combat effectiveness was weakened in developing his abilities, he still chose the ability that was best at exploring.

The weather forecast also brought him a huge surprise during this trip to the Dark Continent.

Especially as his temperament increased, this kind of surprise continued to amplify.

The weather mind beast controls the flames to burn all approaching insects to death. Although there will still be insects emerging from the ground from time to time during this process, they cannot penetrate the defense of the space suit.

After all, these are just ordinary bugs, and their greatest advantage has always been their numbers.

Joey's circle was not too wide, only a range of 200 meters. Within this range, he only used the weather mind beast to control the atmospheric combustion, so his recovery could keep up with the consumption.

Under the dual protection of this flame and spacesuit, the team quickly moved through the insect swarm.

But the further they moved forward, the more insects swarmed towards them. There were even flying insects above their heads, rushing towards them.

"Extinguish the flames. The spacesuit can isolate our breath. As long as we relax and continue moving forward, there shouldn't be such a big resistance." Jin thought of a possibility.

Joey also thought that the flame seemed to be the best guide here, guiding the insect swarm to attack!

Thinking of this, Joey chose to trust Jin's judgment without saying anything.

When the flames disappeared, a large number of insects also rushed over. In just a moment, Joey and others were all submerged in the insect swarm.

But through Yuan Joey, he could confirm that although the insect swarm had decreased due to the disappearance of the flames, a large number of insects were still flowing towards their location.

Joey quickly thought of possible reasons.

"My circle." Joey said affirmatively.

The spacesuits cut off their breath, so this was the only reason why bugs could still be attracted to them.

But if the circle is cancelled, the space suit will inevitably disappear. This is something that can't be helped, and it is decided by Joey's ability.

So after saying this, Joey chose another way not to cancel the circle, which was to quickly shrink the circle to the minimum. In this way, the number of insect swarms that could be attracted must be limited and within the range of their confrontation. .

Sure enough, as Joey shrunk the circle, there were significantly fewer insects rushing toward them.

But without Yuan, the job of cleaning up these bugs was left to Jin and the others.

The mercenary robot came in handy again at this time. Yida controlled it to launch a sonic attack. After several attempts, she found a way to explode these bugs.

It is in this that Joey is responsible for blocking everyone's ears so that they will not be disturbed by sound waves.

This was not a problem for Joey.

After a short adjustment, the team began to move forward in this disgusting insect world at a much slower pace than before in the forest.

I don’t know how big this insect land is exactly, but the only danger seems to be the ordinary insects that are everywhere.

Walking in such a wilderness-like place, Joey and the others did not choose to rest at night. If they turned on the circle, they would inevitably attract bugs. If they didn't turn on the bugs, they would not let them go. It can be said that there was no option to rest when walking in such a place.

"I don't know if someone really walked in front of us, how they would deal with these bugs." Joey said with emotion.

At this point, he no longer felt that anyone could surpass them.

"Then who can say for sure." Jin looked forward: "The main thing depends on whether this place was formed before the ancient city's demise or after its demise. If it is the latter, then the chance of being ahead of us is not good. Big, but if it’s the former, they should have a suitable method.”

Joey frowned slightly: "Even if there are people walking in front of us, it won't be easy to meet them. This place is really too big."

What Joey said is true. The Dark Continent is really too big.

They walked for so many days, but they couldn't even see the shadow of the World Tree.

You must know that it is a huge tree that reaches the sky and the earth. According to records, its upper part reaches into the clouds and its roots penetrate into the magma. Even the "World Tree" that is thousands of meters high in Lake Mobius, In comparison, it is just a sapling.

"Lake Mobius is just a lake in this world, but a place like this was already the whole world to us before we left, not to mention the existence called the World Tree? "Jin's eyes were full of yearning.

Sometimes he even felt that his imagination was too lacking, because he could not imagine huge trees comparable to the "continent" in his dreams.

"Comrades, I don't know whether the World Tree has arrived, but I think we are getting closer to it."

When the morning light appeared, green appeared again on the distant land, and there seemed to be countless tall trees there. Even looking towards the horizon farther away, one could see a dark area.

It seems that the sunlight is swallowed up there! (End of chapter)
