Monarch of Evernight: 270 Forest of Desire
bsp;The other end of the forest is directly connected to the Pond of All Living Beings, and Qianye also felt the invisible boundary in the forest. Within a thousand meters, there is no living thing, only a variety of strange plants that cannot be named at all, growing intertwined and so dense that it is almost impossible to pass through.
The huge water beast in the Pond of All Living Beings has appeared, but I don’t know if it is the most powerful one. At the other end of the forest, the six-armed giant blocked the way out. Although he didn't know what he was waiting for, Qianye understood that it was definitely not a good thing.
However, this forest is not a place to stay for a long time, and it is also full of dangers. Not to mention the tens of thousands of insects at every turn, none of the beasts living in the forest are fuel-efficient lamps. The little snakes, as thin as chopsticks, looked almost exactly like their surroundings, but they moved like lightning. Even Qianye was bitten twice by accident.
This little snake has a strange venom. Within ten seconds after being bitten, Qianye felt numb all over his body. Even the pulse of his blood core began to slow down, and the flowing blood began to coagulate in a large area. Fortunately, dark gold blood energy is the nemesis of almost all poisons. Gold blood continuously pours out from the blood core, and the burning blood flames burn away all poisons. The already coagulated blood finally turned into a mouthful of black blood and spurted out of the body.
After being poisoned, Qianye took a serious look at this little snake and no longer dared to ignore it. This is him. If he were a vampire, even if he came from a famous family of twelve ancient clans, he would not be able to survive the poison of this little snake for long.
Furthermore, the body of the little snake is extremely strong. After Qianye was bitten, he didn't crush it to death at the first blow. It took a little more force later to crush the snake's head.
This small snake is just one of hundreds of snakes in the forest, and it is not the most dangerous among them. Qianye once saw a small snake with a bright red light coiled on a tree from a distance. Instead of hiding itself, this kind of snake makes it extremely eye-catching and can be seen from a distance. Seeing this abnormal snake, Qianye naturally took a wise detour and did not step into its territory.
Except for snakes, the lizards, rats, and weasels here are all weird and weird, but the one thing they have in common is that none of them are easy to mess with, and most of them are poisonous in one way or another. There is only one kind of inconspicuous little weasel that is not poisonous, but it bites anything hard like pine nuts. It even left two deep tooth marks on Dongyue. From then on, whenever Qianye saw it, he would take a detour and avoid provoking it.
Qianye was very doubtful whether a vampire saint like Edward could get out alive if he strayed into this forest. Perhaps only Basil, who is a spider demon, can adapt here. But when he thought of Basil's huge body, Qianye shook his head. If Basil comes in, the target is too big, and it will most likely be eaten clean by ants as soon as it enters the forest.
Qianye actually had a hard time staying there. He finally found an open space under a big tree, used Dongyue to clear the bushes, and burned them with blood fire before sitting down to rest. He always maintains a layer of light blood and fire on his body to drive away all kinds of poisonous insects.
After finding a hiding place, Qianye breathed a sigh of relief and had enough time to observe the surroundings carefully. Not long after, there were many ants, bugs and small beasts gathered around, but they were afraid of blood and fire and did not dare to get close. They slowly accumulated a thick, fluffy layer around Qianye.
As a result, Qianye did not dare to put away the blood and fire. Fortunately, he has a lot of essence and blood in his body, which can completely sustain the blood fire for ten days and a half. Even if there is not enough essence and blood, there are not many other living beings in this maelstrom, but each one has more essence and blood than the next. Qianye will stretch himself to the point of bursting if he casually plunders life.
Qianye noticed that after running in the forest for so long, the species he saw on the road were almost all different. Each small area had its own characteristics. Even the towering ancient trees that looked similar in appearance, carefully looked at them. Observing the texture structure of the bark, you can also find that they are actually two different trees.
Qianye glanced at a stone and saw patches of green and purple moss covering it, and suddenly his heart moved. He stood up and walked to the stone, looked carefully for a long time, and finally determined that this large piece of moss was dragon scale moss. Dragon scale moss is one of the main ingredients of military special stimulants. The dosage is very small, but it is indispensable. The stone is covered with such a large piece of dragon scale moss that it is enough to make hundreds of special stimulants. It was a special stimulant, and it had always been given to senior officers of elite units such as the Red Scorpions, and was not seen by other units at all.
This piece of dragon scale moss is said to be very precious. Although it is not as rare as a rarity, it is still valuable because of its large quantity.
The dragon scale moss didn’t take up much space, so Qianye carefully scraped it off and stored it away. Qianye used up some supplementary rations while being chased by the six-armed giant, so the Anduya space was slightly free. After carefully inspecting it, Qianye put the dragon scale moss into Anduya's space. With this piece of dragon scale moss, the empire may have hundreds of high-ranking officers survive on the battlefield.
After putting away the dragon scale moss, the jagged thorns of a patch of thorns ahead came into view again. Qianye let out a light sigh, took out his short knife, and gently peeled off a piece of the skin of the thorn stick. He saw that the twigs below were golden in color, mixed with dots of silver stars, and he finally determined that this was a famous medicine called Gypsophila. The twigs of Gypsophila can extract a very powerful anesthetic, which is also a drug in itself. Its main purpose is to extend life. No matter how serious the injury is, as long as you are not dead, you can hang yourself for three to five days with it. It has so many uses that there is no need to elaborate. In short, it is a medicine similar to Dragon Scale Moss.
Having made two discoveries, Qianye observed his surroundings more carefully, and easily discovered more than ten medicinal materials with different effects. Those fist-sized venomous mosquitoes and wasps, you can use common sense to know how precious their venom is, and you will be able to develop many miraculous medicines.
Not to mention the little snake that bit Qianye, the snake meat, snake blood, snake venom, and snake gallbladder. The vertebrae alone are extremely hard. With a little processing, they can be used as war guns. Use the head. Even if there is an iron rod embedded in it, it is still a level seven gun.
All in all, there is a treasure at almost every step in this forest. This is because Qianye has limited knowledge. Most of his vision comes from the training at Huangquan training camp. He has never systematically studied medicine or mining. Biology is Qianye's strong point, but it is not for utilization, but for more effective killing.
Even so, Qianye recognized a large number of medicines and resources. And if you look around, there are a lot of people you don’t recognize. In any area of this forest, there are hundreds of different species, and there are even more species living in the entire forest.
Here, various insects, ants, and small beasts live in extremely crowded conditions, with a density that is dozens or even hundreds of times that of the outside world. Not only insects, but also plants. According to common sense, such a dense layout has extremely high requirements for land nutrients, because according to the rules of the food chain, everything will eventually fall on the land.
No matter how fertile the land is, it cannot withstand such high-density extraction and will turn into a desert within a year or two. But the Pond of Living Beings has existed for who knows how long. Not long after the Empire opened up the Maelstrom, the Pond of Living Beings was discovered. Even now, hundreds of years have passed, and nothing has changed.
It’s just that the Pond of All Beings is too dangerous, and treats the strong and the weak equally, so after the initial attempts, the Empire only came for the precious medicines found on the Sea Lotus and other peripheral areas, and left every time they succeeded. Never dare to stay longer. No human has ever set foot in this forest. Not only the human race, Qianye estimated that the dark race would also come and go.
It wasn't until today that Qianye was cornered by the six-armed giant, and then he plunged into the forest.
This phenomenon is by no means normal in the forest, but in the maelstrom, any abnormal phenomenon has a unique explanation. Qianye had nothing to do, and he couldn't help but ponder: Is the existence of this forest, and even the entire pond of living beings, really just natural? If not, what is the meaning of its existence?
While thinking, Qianye continued to search and explore, and found many strange and unknown things. However, he did not dare to go far. Every time he set foot in a new place, he must burn the ground with blood and fire. Even if this would unintentionally destroy many precious treasures, Qianye would rather do this than accidentally being bitten by something coming out of the soil.
Every once in a while, Qianye would climb to the top of the tree and look out of the forest. The figure of the six-armed giant can still be seen in the distance. It stands there, looking at the forest from time to time, and sometimes looking to another place in the distance. It's hard for this big guy with such a bad temper to stand quietly for a whole day.
The more this happened, the more uneasy Qianye felt.
After coming down from the tree, Qianye began to tentatively approach the Pond of All Living Beings. The closer you get, the stronger the call of desire becomes. But in this forest, which is full of snakes, insects, rats, and ants, there is nothing that Qianye can breed with, so it is easier to resist the temptation and pressure than outside the forest.
Although the Pond of Living Beings is a dangerous place, the forest is a pure land for humans. But looking at the world, there are not many people who can enter the forest without dying.
The water beasts in the Pond of All Living Beings are relatively docile in nature, and I have never seen them get violent and hurt anyone. The previous battle with the six-armed giant was also caused by the six-armed giant's smashing and disturbing them. However, Qianye is not so naive as to think that there is no danger in the water. Apart from anything else, what does such a huge water beast eat?
Sea lotus is said to grow in the water near the shore, not far from the shore. Otherwise, looking at the situations encountered along the way, it would be impossible for the strong men specially trained by the empire to touch it. Now that he has arrived at the Pond of All Living Beings, Qianye also wants to try his luck.
So far, I have never seen a plant like the sea lotus. Qianye looked at the dotted islands in the pool, and some hot thoughts came to his mind, and then he suppressed them. He hasn't lived enough yet and doesn't want to use his own body to test whether those giant underwater creatures eat meat.
Not long after the stalemate with the six-armed giant, Qianye saw countless two-armed people appearing on the distant horizon. Among them, tall figures of four-armed warriors were everywhere, and there were hundreds at least.
A wave of people with two arms and four arms came straight towards the forest. Qianye finally knew what the six-armed giant was waiting for. He wanted to flood the forest with a massive number of two-armed men, and then use four-armed warriors to hunt him down.
This move is undoubtedly very useful, because Qianye has never seen so many people with two arms. They are like a black tide, coming slowly but surely, enough to drown everything on the road...(.)
