Chapter 180 Searching for a Supply Point

As they passed through the last section of rolling clouds, the outline of the entire new continent suddenly became clear. They saw large tracts of dense and lush primeval forests, and the sun shone on the earth, covering it with a colorful coat.

Tall and sturdy trees rise from the ground, and their green leaves show vitality. There are also areas with large expanses of azure or fluorescent green water. There is also a large area of black fog in the southeast. Through the fog, you can vaguely see the black forest covered with scaly bark below.

Ning Xuan stretched out her vines and brushed across the tree canopy. The giant ferns a hundred meters high trembled like living things. Pearl-like dewdrops condensed on the umbrella-shaped leaves, exploding into ice crystals in the air waves.

The moment the protective barrier collided with a towering giant cedar, the barrier was bounced out by the force.

Ning Xuan saw the bark of the giant sequoia suddenly crack, revealing the amber-colored gum inside. The gum glowed metallically under the moonlight, and then returned to its normal bark in a blink of an eye.

The branches and leaves were dense. Qinghe controlled the metal blade to cut off a few drooping branches. What spurted out from the cross-section of the branches was not juice, but a cloud of fluorescent spores, outlining a strange green trajectory.

Ning Xuan felt her brain somewhat excited. These green fluorescent spores, perhaps some mutated plant of unknown level, could actually have an effect on mental strength.

"Stop cutting, these spores are poisonous. Hold your breath and leave here." Ning Xuan pulled back the vines. Di Youlin spread his wings and flew in the air. Ning Xuan hugged his neck and sat on his back.

Ning Xuan gave the order and everyone else obeyed silently. They used their own methods to move away from the green mist and landed in the nearby area. The climate in this area was pleasant and the air was very humid. There was no telling what substance was contained in the air, but it was very comfortable to breathe.

Walking under the tall trees, the ground was blocked by the trees and could not be exposed to sunlight. The ground was wet and sticky. Qinghe, who was walking in the front, suddenly frowned and said, "Something is approaching us."

There was a slight vibration from the ground, and Ning Xuan seemed to hear the rustling sound of plant roots rubbing against each other.

As the sticky soil beneath their feet surged, countless earth-brown, dense roots surged out from the ground. Large areas of the ground collapsed, and countless roots broke out of the ground. Those roots weaved into a web like living things and pounced on everyone.

Qinghe held the sharp blade that had changed its shape and pointed it in the direction where the roots were coming. This sharp blade was his own scale armor and could change into any shape he wished.

Qinghe's figure moved as fast as a ray of light, cutting the roots into pieces. Yun Han waved his hand and a white light came out from his hand. The white light was extinguished and the pieces of earth-brown roots disappeared instantly.

The two of them worked together and quickly cleared out the roots.

At this moment, the surrounding tree trunks suddenly cracked into countless tiny cracks, and many fluorescent spores gushed out, covering the entire area in a hazy green mist.

"Hold your breath!" Ning Xuan's voice came from the fog, "Leave here."

"Everyone follow me." Zhang Nan took the lead and walked to the left.

In this unfamiliar environment, they chose to trust Zhang Nan's judgment.

Zhang Nan looked up at the sky obscured by the tree canopy, and a breeze condensed on his fingertips. The air swirled upwards, bringing down a few phosphorescent leaves. He closed his eyes and analyzed it for a while, then continued to walk to the left.

Zhang Nan’s companion spirit is a golden rat, which has a very keen perception of the natural environment, especially the underground environment. Under his guidance, Ning Xuan and others quickly left the area.

After leaving the dangerous area, the terrain became flat and open. Although there were still towering trees around, they were obviously tall and straight, and there were relatively wide distances between the trees. The road conditions here were much better than before.

Wang Yue took out a lot of scattered materials from his backpack. After some assembly, a four- to five-meter-long and two-meter-wide four-wheeled mechanical vehicle with a roof appeared in front of everyone. Wang Teng also took out a lot of parts from his backpack and assembled a large cannon barrel to install on the front of the mechanical vehicle. "This mobile single-shot cannon can fire energy cannons, laser cannons, and physical damage weapons such as nails and steel needles. It has great power and low noise, and is very practical."

Wang Yue was the driver in the cab, Wang Teng was sitting behind the gunner, responsible for operating the mobile single-shot cannon, and the others chose their positions.

"Our first priority now is to find a supply point or safe zone established by the military," Ning Xuan said.

"I agree, Master. When I was looking down from mid-air just now, I saw a large lake in the northeast direction. We can look there." Lin Mo suggested.

During the jump process of the jump ship, solid food may still be preserved, but liquid water cannot be carried and preserved at all. Even if they do not look for a supply point, they must first find a drinkable water source.

"Let's go northeast, pay attention to the surrounding environment, and check if there are any signs of human activities. Check if there are any edible animals, plants or fruits, and also check if there are any resources that can be collected." Ning Xuan ordered.

"Lan Xin, Chen Nan, and Zhang Nan, the three of you will be responsible for drawing the topographic map, tree conditions, and vegetation structure. You need to keep adding to it as we go through the areas later. If you are undecided, you should discuss it together. We must ensure that we can draw detailed maps for every area we pass through." Ning Xuan instructed Lan Xin, Zhang Nan, and Chen Nan.

The three of them agreed and immediately took out paper and pen to draw a map. This was a task that had been assigned before they set out, and the three of them were well prepared.

Wang Yue drove the mechanical vehicle toward the northeast for about three hours. During these three hours, they hunted three strange beasts that were more than two meters tall and looked like deer, collected three strange plants with rich energy, picked more than a dozen non-toxic and edible wild fruits, and found a huge beehive.

The three deer-shaped beasts, each more than two meters tall, were named "Crystal-Horned Deer" by Ning Xuan because of their crystal-like horns.

Their horns reflect a crystal-like luster under the sun and can conduct energy. They are relatively precious energy conductor materials and can be used in many mechanical manufacturing and equipment refining processes.

After walking for more than three hours, they came to a clear stream surrounded by large areas of soft grass. In order to replenish their energy, Ning Xuan decided to stay here and rest.

"Master, the meat of this crystal-horned deer is very delicate and flexible, and it has a faint pine scent when roasted. It must taste very good." Jiuwei said as he dissected the deer corpse. The knife in his hand accurately peeled the skin and separated the tendons.

After Ning Xuan decided to let Jiuwei join the joint examination team, she asked Jiuwei to intensively study subjects such as species analysis.
