Vines clinging to the towering trees hung down from the sky, each one as thick as Tu Ran's thigh.
The air was filled with the smell of fresh earth, a smell that was not found in the technologically polluted cities of the Federation.
Tu Ran looked around carefully.
The pioneer who had come in before her had disappeared.
They were sent to different places.
The place in front of me, which looks like a tropical rain forest, has never appeared in the original body's memory.
This is a completely unfamiliar place.
There has never been a tropical rainforest on the intra-threshold holographic modeling map that the Federation has made public.
She may be the first human to arrive here.
Tu Ran felt heavy-hearted, as this meant that she could not learn from the experience of her predecessors or use her original memories.
Everything she faces will be new and unprecedented.
Tu Ran turned and looked in the direction she came from.
It is a very sturdy giant sequoia.
She opened her arms, but they were probably not even one-tenth the size of the tree.
The threshold opened the exit to the tree trunk and she walked out of it.
Tu Ran tried to reach out and touch the tree trunk.
The rough texture of the tree trunk gives it a real touch.
Her hand did not pass through.
The teleport point has been closed.
She couldn't go back from this place.
If she wanted to leave here, she could only wait until the next portal opened for a few hours and find an exit.
Now that you are here, make yourself comfortable.
She needed to complete her mission.
Tu Ran began to try to move forward.
The ground beneath my feet was soft.
It is very comfortable to step on it.
Tu Ran walked forward cautiously while looking around.
Everything here is huge.
She was like an ant standing at the feet of a giant.
The ants snaked along under the giant's feet.
Ants are curious about everything. When they encounter something, they will stop and look at it, and then continue on their way.
Sometimes a thin branch blocks the way ahead, and the ant will use its hands and feet to climb over the branch that is not as thick as a toothpick.
Sometimes it simply stops climbing, avoids the branch, and continues crawling in other directions.
Sometimes, ants will try to crawl under the branches.
Tu Ran is that little ant.
She didn't know how many big trees she encountered blocking her way.
One or two trees may be broken because they are old and cannot support the dense canopy, but it does not seem like a natural phenomenon to encounter a broken tree every few steps.
Tu Ran walked to the place where the giant tree was broken and found that the fracture was jagged, as if it was broken by a huge object.
Giant impact?
It's not impossible.
In this tropical forest, there is a high possibility that huge alien species will appear.
Tu Ran continued to walk forward and observe the scene.
She found that the trees were falling in different directions.
Some of the giant sequoias that did not fall had cracks on their trunks, and some even had dents and impact marks on their trunks.
It looked like two giant alien species were fighting here.
Leave after making a mess of this place.
As Tu Ran was walking, she suddenly felt a space under her feet.
Before she could react, she fell into a huge pit.
Fortunately, although the hole was big, it was not deep and was not even up to her waist.
Because it was covered by huge fallen leaves and blended with the surrounding ground, Tu Ran didn't notice it.
Tu Ran held onto the edge of the pit and jumped up.
Looking back at the pothole.
The shape of the pit is very similar to the mark left by a foot, especially a horse's hoof print.
From the feeling of falling into it just now, the ground below the pit is solid, not as soft as the one above.
It's like a piece of the ground has been stepped on.
If it were really a footprint, there wouldn't be just one.
Tu Ran looked elsewhere.
Two black holes separated by a large distance were visible to the naked eye, and because they were not blocked by the large fallen leaves, they were very obvious at a glance.
There are probably many such holes here, but like the one she fell into, they are all covered by leaves, becoming natural traps.
Tu Ran walked forward cautiously for more than twenty steps and carefully observed the ground. Sure enough, she saw that several leaves were sinking downwards. She picked up a thick piece of wood from the ground and threw it in.
The leaves sank, revealing a hole more than one meter high inside.
Tu Ran's guess was confirmed, giant alien species had indeed appeared here.
They are huge and heavy, and they cause such severe sinking when they step on the soft ground composed of fallen leaves.
As for whether it was a fight between two alien species, judging from the messy footprints, Tu Ran guessed it was almost certain.
Tu Ran didn't stay here for long.
Her mission was to capture more footage.
Then she has to go to enough places.
She had spent enough time in this area and had almost captured all the footage.
Because there was no map, Tu Ran could only walk in one direction based on her feeling.
At the beginning, the scenery along the way was nothing but trees.
Not even small shrubs existed.
Gradually, Tu Ran noticed that the trees were not as thick and dense as before. He could see the blue sky through the gaps in the tree canopy, and small shrubs began to appear on the ground.
After walking for another hour, colorful colors began to appear in the field of vision.
The mushroom changes color, pink, purple, blue, as the light and shadow keep changing. When a breeze blows, its spores float in the wind like clouds about to rise.
"It's most likely a poisonous mushroom." Tu Ran said.
There are many colorful mushrooms along the way, and the deeper you go, the more there are.
In addition to mushrooms, there are also colorful flowers, which are very tall, some of which are taller than Tu Ran.
The petals are also changing colors.
The leaves that set them off also turned fluorescent green at some point.
Small flying insects gradually appeared in front of me, like fireflies, but the light they carried was not all green.
There are various colors.
They began to circle around Tu Ran, probably observing why this uninvited guest was dressed in black.
Tu Ran felt like she had entered a world of elves.
Everything around is fluorescent, changing colors.
The fruits on the tree are of various shapes and they are all colorful.
Everything here is like the neon lights of the federal government at night.
Tu Ran was immersed in it and couldn't extricate herself.
Suddenly, she tripped over a branch.
He fell face down on the ground.
Tu Ran felt no pain.
She turned over, looked at the sky, and her eyelids gradually drooped.
It was so comfortable, even more comfortable than being in the nutrition cabin. The last second when Tu Ran lost consciousness.
A picture appeared in my mind.
There was a man tightly entangled by vines.
The entanglement becomes tighter and tighter.
The entanglement becomes tighter and tighter.
Blood began to flow from all seven orifices.
Blood dripped onto the vines, and they began to tighten even more frantically.
The bones were broken inch by inch.
The flesh was squeezed and deformed, becoming minced meat that flowed out from the gaps in the vines.
The whole scene is like freshly squeezed orange juice with your hands.
“Fresh squeezed orange juice hahaha…”
Thinking of that scene, Tu Ran laughed out loud in a daze.
then.
"!!!"
That orange juice is her! Tu Ran suddenly came to her senses.
She did a somersault, but was pulled to the ground by the vines that were wrapped around her waist.
The ground in front of her was receding, and then it moved away, and she was hanging on the tree.
The vines noticed that she was awake and began to wrap around her faster.
Tu Ran's hands were tightly entangled together and her breathing began to become difficult.
Tu Ran clenched her teeth, controlled the robotic arm, and suddenly exerted force, trying her best to push it out.
Two vines were broken instantly.
Tu Ran didn't have time to be happy.
More vines wrapped around it.
But Tu Ran had already taken this opportunity to pull out one arm.
She pulled out her dagger and stabbed frantically at the vines on her waist.
The vines felt pain and shrank rapidly.
Tu Ran's hanging body fell from a height of four meters.
Tu Ran was well prepared. After landing, she kept half squatting and did not feel any pain from the fall.
Tu Ran glanced around.
It was no longer the colorful fairy garden she saw at the beginning, but a gloomy place of death with vines all over the place and bones all over the ground.
She was poisoned when she entered this place and saw the first colorful mushroom.
Everything she saw afterwards was an illusion.
Looking at the corpses all over the ground, there were animals, some that resembled humans, and Tu Ran even saw a mechanical exoskeleton leg.
It's not that no pioneers have come here before, but those pioneers who came here never left alive! The man-eating vines still refused to give up, and pounced towards Tu Ran with its fangs and claws.
Tu Ran raised his machine gun and started firing.
The man-eating vines' defense was not very strong, and they were shot back repeatedly.
Tu Ran didn't want to stay here any longer.
Because she saw another colorful mushroom.
At some point, these vines released their toxins to confuse her.
If she stays here any longer, she will definitely fall into the trap.
Tu Ran took out a bomb from behind his waist.
He pulled out the safety pin, threw it out, quickly retreated to a safe distance, and hid behind a big tree.
At the moment the bomb exploded, Tu Ran seemed to hear a scream.
She shook her head, trying to keep herself awake.
Illusion, it's all an illusion.
Don't believe anything.
When she heard no sound from behind, she stood out from behind the tree trunk and looked back.
The area was already burnt, with scattered burnt vines rolling on the ground.
These vines are only good at confusing people, in other aspects, they are rubbish.
Tu Ran originally wanted to leave here quickly, but after walking three or two steps, she stopped.
Are these man-eating vines considered alien species? If so, do they have inner elixirs in their bodies? Tu Ran quickly turned back.
The ground was scorched and some small flames were spreading outwards.
Tu Ran stepped on the flames first.
She was worried that the fire would set the entire forest on fire and she would be in trouble if she didn't go out.
She began to search around for the roots of these man-eating vines.
In an area where bushes and trees were intertwined, Tu Ran found vines that had been burned to the point where only the tips were left.
Tu Ran did not ask directly, but first reached his right hand into the deep of a pile of dense grass.
Because she wears a holographic ring on her right hand, which will record everything she does.
Her next move must not be known to the Federation.
Keeping his right hand still, he carefully placed his left hand on the green body of the man-eating vine.
"Do you have inner elixir?" she asked in a low voice.
At the same time, shake your right hand quickly from side to side, rubbing the grass to make noise.
In this way, the holographic sound photography bracelet cannot record her voice.
If someone happened to be here right now and saw that she was not only talking to a plant but also moving her other hand around, they would definitely laugh out loud at this funny scene and might even think she was crazy.
When Tu Ran asked the question, the remaining body of the vine twisted a few times.
It could understand her.
It is running away, trying to retreat.
But its roots are there, how can it be removed?
Tu Ran had already seen the scene she wanted to see.
Take out the dagger and quickly insert it into the soil covering its roots.
This man-eating vine contains an inner elixir.
It was an unexpected surprise.
Tu Ran quickly dug up the soil and dug down along its roots.
When they dug nearly thirty centimeters, a shiny bead appeared.
Tu Ran used the tip of a knife to pick out the beads.
The fat roots of the man-eating vine twitched violently, then fell limply to the ground, without any movement.
Tu Ran wiped the beads off her clothes and put them into her mouth.
The beads instantly turned into a stream of clear water and disappeared.
Tu Ran did not test this ability immediately.
She did not forget that there was a camera on her chest.
It captured everything that happened just now.
Tu Ran didn't avoid it on purpose because she had long planned to get rid of the camera.
It was troublesome enough to hide the one on her wrist, and she didn't want to waste her energy and time on the one on her chest.
Taking this opportunity, Tu Ran took off the camera on her chest and buried it in the soil.
Then he took his right hand out of the bushes.
She rubbed her knees pretentiously and brushed off the dust.
Pretend she just fell.
Only after the show was over did she stand up and leave the place.
Walking on the road, Tu Ran tried to activate this superpower.
From the experience accumulated from the previous two superpowers, the superpowers she gained by eating the inner elixir of the alien species are related to the abilities that the alien species originally possessed.
