Jiang Wenxi absolutely believed in Gu Ran. This kid's perception of the outside world was stronger than that of a machine.
"Huh? There really is one."
This time it was the system that sighed. Just as it reached the three-kilometer warning range, this human had actually sensed it in advance.
"Xiao Ran did a great job, let's hide first."
The system also projected an image over at this time, showing something about one meter in size, similar to a large dog.
After scanning the surrounding vines, some of which had already wrapped around the tree, the two of them climbed up decisively, found a foothold, and stared down.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, I finally saw what it looked like.
Its body was slippery and seemed to have tiny armor. Its head was a little strange, with two particularly large eyes and a tail dragging behind it.
He was very alert and even stopped and walked on the way here.
A total of five of them came over, arrived in front of the fruit, stood up, and began to pick the fruit and eat it.
"What the hell is this system?"
"The genes are more monkey-like, but some of the characteristics have degenerated."
Jiang Wenxi frowned slightly. She could accept anything now. Looking at the things below, they didn't look like monkeys at all.
One thing that is reassuring is that they can distinguish what is edible, and the fruits they pick are non-toxic.
In the future, when there is no food in the jungle, hunting them will at least give us something to eat.
Jiang Wenxi stood on a tree and looked into the distance. The trees were so lush that she couldn't see very far.
The monkeys below did not take too long to eat. After eating for about half an hour, they left in an orderly manner, still crawling back on all fours.
Monkeys naturally like to live in trees. If you want them to give up living in trees, it is probably because it is more dangerous in the trees.
Gu Ran went down before Jiang Wenxi. He looked at Jiang Wenxi and asked in a low voice, "Why are the baskets and baskets gone?"
Jiang Wenxi sighed, her mind finally came around, which was a cause for celebration.
"I put it away."
"Oh, I thought it was lost."
Jiang Wenxi felt it was too early to be happy, so she didn't ask so many questions. Where did she hide them?
Based on past experience, it’s useless to say it now. It will only enter his mind when he wants to ask.
"Let's hurry."
Upon hearing that they had to hurry, Gu Ran immediately walked in front. This time, his hand was kept next to the dagger. Perhaps he was shocked by the scene just now. He no longer had the initial excitement and stopped looking around.
Seeing Gu Ran like this, sometimes even she couldn't help but want to pry open his head to see what was wrong.
If you say it is normal, its reactions are sometimes ridiculous. If you say it is abnormal, it is absolutely reliable when it comes to encountering danger, especially fighting.
It’s good to live like this, without any worries.
Sure enough, after walking for less than an hour, Gu Ran stopped and said, "Boss, we can't go in front. It feels very dangerous."
Jiang Wenxi asked the system in her mind: "What's ahead?"
"The scans so far show nothing unusual, and no living organisms have been sensed."
Jiang Wenxi probably guessed it was a plant, and turned to ask Gu Ran: "Can you feel what the danger is?"
Gu Ran pointed at the trees: "They are very dangerous and make me feel very uncomfortable."
Gu Ran couldn't explain it. Every time he felt uncomfortable, something bad would happen.
"System, scan these trees, there must be something different."
The system carefully compared and scanned the root system. "Host, about 800 meters ahead, there's a tree that's different from the others. Under the tree are many monkey carcasses. They're the same creatures you just saw."
"It should be called a man-eating tree. There are many more of these trees inside. Almost all of them are this type of tree in the next few kilometers."
The system can only sound an alarm after a danger is triggered. Now that the trees are safe, it does not know the level of danger.
If I could connect to the main system, I might be able to find out something.
"I see."
Jiang Wenxi took out a sniper rifle: "Xiaoran, come behind me."
"System, start collecting data."
There were vines everywhere. Jiang Minxi quickly climbed up a tree, found a good position, and fired two shots, one hitting the branch and the other hitting the trunk.
“Swoosh~”
The originally calm tree suddenly went crazy, stretching out countless branches and starting to wave in all directions.
"Host, they rely on vines to strangle surrounding organisms, but the vines can only cover a radius of 30 meters, and their toxicity is currently unknown."
Jiang Wenxi stood on top and looked. He could still avoid one or two trees, but it was hard to say if there were too many.
"What's happening in other directions of the system?"
"The situation isn't looking good for the host. Someone on your left has been attacked by poisonous fungi and insects. Your right is quiet for now, but I'm detecting swarms of living creatures."
"Is Dingxi afraid of this thing?"
"Host, I can only judge by touching it. The distance here is too far."
Jiang Wenxi went down to the ground: "Xiaoran, wait for me, I'll go to the front to get some samples."
"I'm going to protect you."
Jiang Wenxi was convinced, and he didn't know how Fang Huaizhi instilled this idea into his mind.
"Come together, don't let that thing touch you."
Gu Ran nodded and walked in front. The closer he got, the lighter his footsteps became. The same was true for the monkeys, who walked slowly and silently.
By the time the two men approached, the tree had almost returned to calm, with only a few remaining branches slowly shrinking.
Jiang Wenxi pulled out the dagger, but Gu Ran was faster than her.
"Crack!" A piece of shrinking vine had fallen into his hand. Jiang Wenxi didn't bother to pick it up, and directly cut off the nearest one and handed it to the system.
Jiang Wenxi looked at the tree that was furious again and said, "Run!"
The two turned around and ran back. It turned out that Gu Ran couldn't be controlled by the battle.
After running to the safe area, Jiang Wenxi hurriedly pulled the vine that had turned into a dead branch from Gu Ran's hand.
"Are you injured anywhere?"
"without."
"Host, there's a solution. The system mall has a spray that can deal with them. They're also afraid of fire. It can block them for a short time, but it won't work for a long time."
Jiang Wenxi was not afraid if she had a way, so she bought the props according to the systematic method.
Gu Ran put on a gas mask and was sprayed all over his body by Jiang Wenxi. Then the two of them continued to go deeper.
This time the passage was smooth. Some of them extended their tentacles, which quickly retracted after touching their clothes.
In the middle, two corpses were seen hanging on the tree. They were already shriveled and they were not the ones who had just come in. Jiang Wenxi thought of the people who had come in to explore the way before, and they were probably them.
After Gu Ran knew there was no danger, he became curious again and looked around.
"If the host walks another three kilometers, he will be completely out of the attack range of this forest."
Jiang Wenxi vaguely heard gunshots and explosions, and guessed that someone was in danger.
If she didn't have the system, she probably wouldn't be much better.
After leaving this dangerous place, they asked people to take off their gas masks. The sky was getting darker, and Jiang Wenxi lit a torch for safety.
Most of the plants were afraid, so each person held a torch in one hand and a machete in the other to clear the way.
"Host, I can't stop yet. Something is wrong ahead."
Jiang Wenxi called Gu Ran, and the two of them cleared a place to rest temporarily, giving the system time to investigate.
