For ordinary people, a plane crash is a sure sign of certain death.
But this is an era of spiritual revival, and everyone here is an extraordinary being, a genius among geniuses, and equipped with parachute suits. If it were just a plane crash, it wouldn't really be a big threat.
After being attacked by the monster, the spaceship spun in a 360-degree spiral and plummeted toward the ground at high speed.
Seconds later, a dazzling flame shot into the sky from the forest under the cover of night, followed by the sound of the spaceship exploding. Birds and bats in the woods were startled and flew into the air...
Linna and the others successfully parachuted from the spaceship and landed in this unfamiliar spiritual forest.
"We're so unlucky." Meng Feifei wiped the grime from her face and said helplessly, "What kind of monster was that? Such a huge eye, it was terrifying..."
"Anyway, it's some kind of mutated beast." Yu Yuanyuan shrugged. "We're very close to the capital's territory now. The spiritual energy around the capital is very abundant, and the beasts here are of very high level. High-level beasts and spirit beasts often appear here."
Linnaeus dusted off his clothes: "Thank goodness everyone's safe and sound. Truman, count the heads, is everyone here?"
Truman looked around at the crowd.
Lin Nai, Ye Wan'er, Fang Wu, Yu Yuanyuan, Meng Feifei, Lu Xiaoda, Mu Xun, and myself—a total of eight people were all present...
“Eight people in total, that’s right.” Truman nodded.
"Wait a minute? Something's not right," Fang Wu said. "Where's the spaceship's captain? And where's the safety officer?"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately looked around to search, and sure enough, they did not see the captain or the security officer.
“I remember, those two jumped off the spaceship with us, didn’t they?” Yu Yuanyuan blinked.
Meng Feifei scratched her neck: "Tsk...did they get eaten by some strange beast?"
Yu Yuanyuan glanced at him sideways: "Can't you say something nice?"
“The captain and the security officer are both mid-level superhumans, their levels are higher than ours, it’s not our place to worry about them.” Lin Nai glanced around the dense, unfamiliar forest.
This is a forest of spiritual energy. Lin Nai can sense that the plants in this forest are mostly spiritual plants, and there are natural extraordinary materials everywhere. Compared to Ye City, the spiritual energy here is more than ten times more abundant.
If an ordinary person comes here, takes a stroll, and picks a few spiritual plants to take home, they could become rich overnight.
Of course, the prerequisite is that you have the ability to leave this place without being eaten by the monsters.
“That flying beast should still be nearby,” Truman said. “We can’t let our guard down. We should leave here as soon as possible and contact the authorities.”
"Okay, okay." Meng Feifei paused, looked at Mu Xun who had remained silent the whole time, and said, "Old Mu, don't you have anything to say?"
Mu Xun remained expressionless, as if he hadn't heard a thing. He silently leaned against a large tree, clutching his longsword, without uttering a sound.
Meng Feifei: "emmmm..."
Is this guy really a good teammate...?
Linnaeus opened the system map.
They didn't recognize the forest at all, but they were able to quickly find their way out of the mountains using the system map.
“That’s the direction of the capital, not too far.” Linna pointed to the distance: “If we run and jump through the woods, we should be able to get there in about an hour.”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Then, Linna took the lead, leaping onto a spirit tree trunk and beginning to hop rapidly between the trunks.
Night followed closely behind, and the others also caught up.
"......"
After everyone left, several dark figures emerged from the dense jungle, secretly watching Linna and the others as they departed.
"Very good, these newbies have taken the bait."
"Everyone, go easy on them. Just give them a little warning, don't scare our new kid."
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll definitely make sure these juniors have an unforgettable memory, hehehehehe..."
"Lin Nai and Mu Xun are respectively the apostles of the White Death God and the Thunder God. Be careful when dealing with these two. Don't let your guard down. If they kill us, we senior students will lose face."
"Don't worry, we arrived a year earlier than them. You know, we went through so much hellish training and missions in Dark Moon during that year. We've already been transformed. How can these genius newbies who grew up in a greenhouse compare to us?"
"Huh? Weren't there supposed to be seven members of the 93rd Dark Moon Clan who came by spaceship? Why are there eight of them?"
"They're probably family members, it doesn't matter."
"Alright, enough talk, let's get moving!"
"yes!"
......
Linnaeus and his companions sped through the forest, the trees on both sides rushing past them.
Everyone here is a super genius selected from the national competition. Even if they are not known for their speed, they are still quite fast.
They did not encounter any dangerous beasts along the way.
The entire forest appeared very peaceful.
'strangeness......'
Linnaeus then sensed something strange.
It seems too quiet here.
In such a place teeming with spiritual energy, if there are large, celestial beasts, it's impossible for there to be no other living beings.
Moreover, that celestial beast was strange; it only destroyed their spaceship and then stopped attacking.
This doesn't make sense...
"Roaroooooooooo!!!"
Just as I was thinking this, a deafening roar rang out!
Lin Nai's expression changed drastically, and the others also stopped in their tracks.
A gigantic serpentine monster flew down from the sky, knocking down more than a dozen giant spirit trees!
In an instant, smoke and dust filled the sky, and branches and leaves flew everywhere!
Everyone scattered to avoid it, and only then could they see the monster's true form!
It was a huge snake, over a hundred meters long, with a completely emerald green body.
Although it was a large snake, it had a pair of fan-shaped fleshy wings on both sides of its body, and the fleshy membrane on its head was also very strong. Its brownish-yellow vertical pupils were terrifying and frightening, exactly the same as the eyes of the monster that everyone saw from the window of the spaceship!
“This is the monster that attacked our spaceship!” Lu Xiaoda said.
Truman looked at the giant snake and said, "It's a Azure Sky King Serpent, a type of snake that can travel through clouds and mist, and it has a very strong sense of territory. Judging from this, this Azure Sky King Serpent is at least level 10 or higher!"
"Hehe, level 10 is nothing." Meng Feifei raised his thumb to wipe his nose and grinned. "With so many talented people like us here, if we can't even handle a level 10 beast, we'll be laughed at even when we get to the capital, right?"
