Chapter 487 The Weird Forest
Seeing the five hundred Blade Clans flying backwards to the distance, Luo Chen and Naris looked at each other and saw each other's hesitation.
Now that the reaction of these Blade Clans is so abnormal, it must be strange. Maybe they just happened to hit a secret of the Blade Clan. If they continue to pursue it, they may have a very valuable information.
However, now there are 500 Blade Clans, and their strength is much stronger than the men under them, but they can't just chase them directly.
Luo Chen's thoughts changed sharply, and after a moment, he gave up the idea of catching up.
The strength of humans is too far from that of the Blade Clan. Even if he knows the secret of the Blade Clan, it can be said to be useless. Instead, it may cause the Blade Clan's hostility to humans, which is not conducive to the development of humans.
"Forget it." Naris, who was standing beside him, seemed to see what Luo Chen was thinking. "They are more people than us, so it's good that it's not going to cause trouble for us now. We'd better not take the initiative to go up and provoke it."
Luo Chen nodded slightly.
The two looked at each other and were silent for a while. Naris then laughed dryly and continued, "Okay, the task of clearing the road has been completed. I will take everyone back now. Luo Chen, you and your subordinates are back. I will come to you again in two days to discuss the details of the tunnel road."
"Well, then that's how it comes first."
The two groups parted ways. After Luo Chen led the team to walk two kilometers, he looked back at Naris who had disappeared from the distant horizon and the Phyllis family guards he led, and suddenly said to Lucy and Angel: "You two will go back to the new city with everyone first. I suddenly remembered something to do."
"What's the matter? Let's go together." Lucy said, waving her fist. "Master, I am a powerful holy martial artist now, and I will definitely help you."
Luo Chen smiled and touched her head and said, "It's not a big deal, I just forgot that I didn't explain some things to Naris. Okay, you guys go back first."
After watching Lucy and Angel, who were a little unwilling to leave, Luo Chen thought and activated his fighting spirit with all his strength. He did not choose to fly directly from the sky, but ran at high speed on the ground towards the place where he had just encountered the Blade Clan.
When he arrived at the place where Naris and others, Luo Chen glanced at the ground and immediately found a very simple footprint, and immediately smiled slightly.
"It seems that guy Naris is just as unwilling to give up just like me."
When the five hundred Blade tribes acted together, it was naturally impossible for them to disappear completely. Luo Chen easily identified these traces on the ground and chased them all the way.
The place where the Blade Clan was less than 100 kilometers southwest of the Sky City. These traces were heading west and stretching all the way. Luo Chen actually followed the traces they left for an afternoon, chasing more than 200 kilometers away before disappearing into an extremely dense forest.
This forest consisting of giant trees with a minimum of more than twenty meters is a bit strange. Luo Chen was obviously chasing the traces left by the Blade Clan, but as soon as he entered the forest area, he found that there were no traces left.
Luo Chen observed the edge of the forest for a while, entered the forest and stepped hard for a few steps. Then when he retreated, he found that the unusually obvious traces he left before disappeared at a speed that was strikingly hard by the naked eye.
Whether it was the weeds that were trampled by him or the soil that had been sank by him, they quickly returned to their original state. No changes were seen at all.
"So magical?" Luo Chen pulled a handful of weeds from the ground without believing in his belief, but found that a weed grew again on the ground soon, exactly the same as before. Even with his precise observation of the data, he could not see any difference.
And the handful of weeds he pulled out instantly turned into ashes in his palm and then disappeared.
"Is it another illusion?" This strange situation made Luo Chen think of the time when he went to get the gift of the goddess of life with Naris.
On the top of the mountain where the Temple of Goddess of Life is located, the area is also somewhat close to here, and it always maintains a harmonious scene. However, it is still not as perverted as here, and it must be completely kept as it is.
"It seems that this forest should also be the temple of a certain god." Luo Chen glanced at the extremely dense, deep and mysterious forest and walked in.
Because he lost traces that could be traced, Luo Chen could only explore in-depth little by little in the forest based on speculation.
The trees and shrubs in this forest are too dense. If ordinary people come in, they will be lost without long.
Fortunately, Luo Chen, with the brain of a supercomputer, can clearly record all the places he has walked through, and then form a complete and detailed 3D map, without any chance of getting lost.
After walking in the forest for nearly an hour, Luo Chen discovered a problem.
That is, he was obviously moving along a straight line, but according to the data recorded in his mind, he was obviously not very obvious in a arc, but in the end he combined it was definitely a circle.
Luo Chen stopped and carefully observed the surrounding environment, and then compared the 3D map in his mind, but found no problems.
After pondering for a moment, Luo Chen came up with the answer.
Although his five senses are very sensitive, people's five senses are easily deceived. He feels that he is walking in a straight line, but in fact he is already unknowingly circled.
Moreover, this circle is very large and the change is not obvious, which leads to even being deceived because he did not notice this problem at first.
The five senses are also likely to be deceived, but the data in my mind will not be faked. Since the 3D map composed of a large amount of data in my mind has clearly pointed out this point, Luo Chen naturally chose to believe in the data he collected first.
However, after careful consideration, he did not change his actions immediately, but continued to feel like he was walking in a straight line.
It seems like he is walking in a straight line again, but in fact he has been walking around in circles for half an hour, the 3D map recorded in Luo Chen's mind shows that he has actually made a small circle now, and the actual itinerary is nearly ten kilometers.
From this point of view, if Luo Chen continues to walk like this, he will walk out a large circle with a radius of more than five kilometers.
At this moment, a faint smell of blood came from the forest ahead.
Luo Chen's heart moved and he quickly ran towards the direction where the bloody smell came.
While running, Luo Chen recorded the data in his mind, and then it could be clearly shown from the 3D map that he followed the bloody trajectory and was still perfectly following the circle.
Ten minutes later, Luo Chen saw the source of the bloody smell.
This is a middle-aged Dark Moon man wearing the escort costume of the Phyllis family.
Luo Chen did not feel any surprise. He had already judged from the remaining traces on the ground at the place where he broke up with Naris, which had already sent people to track him down. Then everyone stayed on the same trajectory and would definitely encounter him.
But Luo Chen didn't expect that what he encountered was a corpse.
After looking at the corpse on the ground, Luo Chen was slightly shocked.
He actually knew this corpse because Naris had introduced it to him specifically for the guard.
The escort of the Phyllis family is called Soka. He is a powerful warrior with the strength of a holy martial artist. He is extremely proficient in tracking and stealth among the escorts of the Phyllis family. It is normal for Naris to send him out.
But such a holy martial artist who is extremely proficient in tracking and stealth has now become a corpse.
Judging from the remaining heat of the body, he must have died not long ago, proving that like Luo Chen, he was chasing the Blade Tribes into this forest not long, but he did not expect to die here.
What caused him to die was a very deep wound that cut his neck, almost half of his entire neck, almost causing his entire head to fall off.
Judging from the horror expression on his face, he was likely to have been ambushed and killed by someone before he could react at all.
This is also a fact that shocked Luo Chen.
The escort of the Phyllis family has the strength of a holy martial artist. Even if he is attacked by someone, ordinary divine warriors may not be able to do it.
Luo Chen calculated in his mind, thinking that if he asked him to do it, he might be able to kill him with one blow, but he must not be so clean and neat that Soka could not even react.
"Is there a super strong man of the Martial Master level among the Blade Clan just now?" Thinking of this, Luo Chen immediately gasped.
If this speculation is true, then he and Naris have really escaped the disaster just now.
If there were super strong people of the Martial Master level, there was no need for other Blade Clans to take action. Wu Zun alone could destroy all the humans and the Dark Moon Clan present at that time. In the end, only Luo Chen had hope to escape successfully.
Luo Chen glanced at the environment around the body and discovered another amazing fact.
Soka died because his throat was blocked, so he naturally sprayed a lot of blood, but now there are no traces of blood on the surrounding ground.
After Luo Chen observed for a while, he found that the tender green weeds on the ground around him were absorbing the blood sprinkled on it bit by bit.
Luo Chen just looked here for a while and the blood around him disappeared half of it.
What made him even more frightened was that the weeds seemed to have turned into living creatures and climbed up to Soka's corpse. Then Luo Chen saw that the leaves of these weeds cut open Soka's flesh bit by bit like a knife, then crushed it bit by bit, and absorbed it in.
In other words, these tender green weeds are actually eating people! (To be continued...)
