Chapter 199 Heart of the Black Forest
"This time I'm in big trouble..."
Qi Lin swung the bone blade down from the top of his head, cutting a vine net flying from nowhere in half, but in the next moment, more branches and vines came to him.
The attack of the Black Forest can be said to be 360 degrees without dead ends, not only from all directions, but also from the top of the head and under the feet. There is no guarantee that there will be a thick tree with poisonous thorns at any time. The roots are drilled from the ground, and there may be a sharp knife-like branch falling from the crown above the head at any time.
Although he has a physique that recovers quickly, Qi Lin also feels a little exhausted. This is not only a test of physical fitness, but his attention must also be raised to the highest alert state at all times. middle.
Twenty minutes in the black forest, he felt more exhausted than fighting for a day and a night on the worst battlefield in the Middle East—it was too difficult for one person to fight against the entire forest.
"Master, pay attention to the back!"
Qi Lin turned around quickly, and a particularly long vine swung over from the gap in the tree trunk, and at the end of the vine was a watermelon-sized, khaki-yellow spherical object made of soil and secretions.
When the vine swung to the highest point, it suddenly broke from the middle, and the spherical object at the end flew straight towards Qi Lin under the action of inertia!
Only then did Qi Lin recognize the true face of the spherical object.
"It's stupid! It's a hive of alienated killer bees!"
The Alienated Killer Bee is one of the more common mutated creatures in the Black Forest. It is also one of the few mutated insects that have not grown in size after being mutated by radiation. However, each Killer Bee is only the size of a thumb. With the rating of an elite-level creature, a body that is stronger than steel and a deadly stinger, when more than fifty killer bees gather together, they can easily kill an F-level mutant creature, and a whole nest of killer bees is less There are thousands of them, this number makes one's scalp tingle, even if it is an E-rank guy, he has to take a detour when he sees it!
Seeing the hive being smashed towards him, Qi Lin quickly tore off the corner of his clothes without hesitation, covered his mouth and nose with a bottle of mineral water that he carried with him after soaking it, and finally took out a bomb that had added tear gas to it. The anti-riot smoke bomb, pulled the tab, and smashed it hard at his feet——
With a "puff", a large amount of irritating smoke spewed out from the small metal tank, Qi Lin only felt a burning sensation on his exposed skin and eyes, and the pervasive gas was still there. Drilling into his eyes, ears, mouth and nose along various gaps.
"Cough cough cough—"
While coughing, Qi Lin tried his best to wave the bone blade in the smoke, and continued to open up a way forward-although smoke and fire are effective means to drive away the killer bees, tear gas cannot kill the mutated killer bees at all. Get out of here quickly, and after the smoke clears, just give the bee colony a minute to turn Qi Lin from a flesh-and-blood living person into a clean skeleton.
Qi Lin didn't have the special ability of an insect master. He had nothing to do with such a large number of insects with no obvious weaknesses. In front of the terrifying bee swarm, he could only run away.
In addition to the killer bees, there were also many beetles that came out of the soil. Although these insects were not as deadly as the killer bees, they also caused Qi Lin a lot of trouble.
From plants to animals, from the sky to the ground, the strong killing intent of the Black Forest has completely enveloped Qi Lin. In the eyes of this Black Forest, Qi Lin is just a fresh prey that is dying.
Another shot of stimulant was injected, and the speed and strength of Qi Lin's swing of the bone blade increased a bit, and finally, before the choking smoke cleared, he barely left the area where the bee swarms were raging.
"Cooper, if this continues, sooner or later he will be consumed alive in the woods... By the way, what can you do? You can use a dead horse as a living horse doctor!" Qi Lin's legs seemed to be filled with lead, Every step he takes is extremely heavy, but he still needs to keep stamping his feet to shake the beetles that climbed up and crush them, otherwise, his body may already be covered with those beetles with sharp mouthparts. black bug.
"According to my observation... I don't know if you have found a problem, master...?" Cooper said.
"What time is it, don't keep it up, just speak up!" Qi Lin yelled loudly while fighting fiercely with the trees.
"This black forest grew in less than an hour. Logically speaking, each tree should be an independent newborn creature, but judging from the extremely high cooperation and coordination of various offensives, this black forest It's like a whole—”
"You mean—they—these trees—share consciousness?!" Qi Lin tried his best to decipher the meaning of Cooper's words.
"No, the human beings in the wasteland still have too little knowledge and information about the Black Forest. According to my speculation, this Black Forest probably has a common subject of consciousness. In other words, I should call it a Black Forest instead of A dark forest."
"Subject of consciousness? What do you mean?" Qi Lin shook the bone blade outwards vigorously, but the sticky corrosive sap sticking to it was like a gangrene attached to the bone, and it couldn't be shaken off much at all. Compared to before, the thickness and width of the bone blade are now less than half.
"What I mean is that these trees are actually the same tree. What you are facing, master, is an enemy from beginning to end except for those bugs."
"That's really a ghost!" Qi Lin scolded.
"However, the main body of consciousness must have a core carrier. In other words, this Black Forest has a 'heart'. As long as you can find a way to break that 'heart', master, you can completely kill this Black Forest."
"'Heart'?! Cooper, your analysis is wonderful, but even if there is such a thing, it must be hidden in the depths of the Black Forest. I chose the wrong direction to break through from the beginning!"
The bone blade that was originally in the shape of Tang Hengdao is now almost left with a short blade less than two feet long. Qi Lin had to pull out another spare serrated dagger, and held two knives in both hands to deal with those overwhelming monsters. Sweeping vines and branches.
"No, although I can't judge your direction through the magnetic field, I have recorded the deflection angle of every step you take through the device on your wrist. According to my calculations, you have already walked around a place in the forest. The 180-degree bend, the direction in front of you, is exactly the core area leading to the original Black Forest."
