The fog enveloped the entire forest park, where the trees were exceptionally lush, and each tree was covered with vines.
When Gu Lingxiao entered the forest park, the vines beside him seemed to come alive, or rather, they were alive in themselves, wriggling and giving Gu Lingxiao a feeling of being watched.
As they ventured deeper, a vine attacked from behind, and instantly, a black blade of energy composed entirely of black elements was unleashed.
As it cut through the vines, it flew into the forest behind, severing many trees. The blades made a sizzling sound as they corroded, and the extreme cold corroded the trees into pitted fragments of ice.
Almost simultaneously, several vines sprang out from the withered leaves beneath his feet. It was so sudden and fast that Gu Lingxiao could only teleport away.
Then Gu Lingxiao unleashed a wide-range attack, a black circle emanating from him, instantly corroding and clearing away a patch of trees in the vicinity.
But it was useless; the main body couldn't be found at all. If Gu Lingxiao wasn't mistaken, this was an evolved tree that occupied the entire forest park, both above and below ground.
"This is difficult." The forest park is too big. Gu Lingxiao doesn't even know what the main body looks like, let alone hunt it. If there is large-scale firepower, it would be easy to deal with. One shot would end them all.
Unfortunately, he didn't. After being attacked countless times over several days, Gu Lingxiao got annoyed and found a lot of gasoline to set the mountain on fire.
Unfortunately, the effect was minimal unless enough gasoline could be found and spread throughout the entire forest park. Even then, Gu Lingxiao felt there was no way to kill it.
Some of the thick vines caught fire after being doused with gasoline, but once the gasoline burned off, they were only charred black and did not have a significant impact.
Moreover, this mist seems to have a hallucinogenic effect; after inhaling it for several days, Gu Lingxiao felt his head was throbbing.
After teleporting out of the forest park and the throbbing in his head subsided, Gu Lingxiao was ready to give up. Putting aside whether he could find the original body, even if he did, its evolutionary stage would definitely be above his own.
Suddenly, Gu Lingxiao remembered something insignificant: when he was hunting zombies in the factory, he teleported out and encountered a similar tree-evolved creature.
Gu Lingxiao hadn't thought of it before, but the way it was attacked from below reminded him.
The forest park wasn't far from the factory; I had teleported to the forest park at the time.
But the forest wasn't this dense back then. Although it was on the edge of the forest park, Gu Lingxiao still went there.
The area has changed dramatically; the forest now extends to the edge of the city.
When Gu Lingxiao tried to enter from here, he encountered great resistance. If it weren't for his teleportation ability, he wouldn't have been able to get in.
The vines here are like tentacles, and their attack power is several times stronger. Even dark elements have a hard time corroding these tentacles.
Before long, Gu Lingxiao arrived at a place filled with white mist, so thick that he couldn't see his own hand in front of his face.
For a moment, Gu Lingxiao lost his sense of direction. Gu Lingxiao's original intention was to teleport to a high place to see what was going on, but after teleporting several times, the surroundings were still white and there were tentacles attacking from time to time.
Although as long as teleportation is available, it won't cause her any harm, but being worn down indefinitely isn't a solution either.
By spreading out the dark elements to keep the fog out, Gu Lingxiao finally regained his sense of direction.
After a few teleports, they arrived high in the sky and escaped the fog, but below was a vast expanse of white, with only the outlines of treetops visible.
Reluctantly, they had to retreat again.
"This guy is really troublesome. I wonder if Gu Lingchuan's mental domain can detect his weaknesses." We should deal with this as soon as possible. This guy's improvement speed is too fast, and the area is too large, so every day evolved creatures accidentally wander in.
If it extends into the city, those zombies will become its nourishment, only increasing its growth rate.
Back at the Bluefish Survivor Base, before Gu Lingxiao could even mention the forest park, Gu Lingchuan found him and asked him about the Lijiang University Experimental Building.
Upon learning that the other party was going to investigate, Gu Lingxiao thought about it and decided he had to go too.
"No need, I'm just going to gather information. My mental domain radius can now reach 600 meters. I'll just take a quick look from afar and come back," Gu Lingchuan said. He genuinely meant it and wasn't just trying to comfort anyone.
"You have no idea how terrifying that alien is. Do you think it's safe to be five or six hundred meters away?" Even he, who likes surprises, felt a chill at that moment, which shows how terrifying that thing was.
Even without alerting the other party, Gu Lingchuan's investigation might still be detected.
Gu Lingchuan nodded. "With you here, I do feel much more at ease."
Secondly, it's because they know that nothing they say will make a difference.
Bai Ling also wanted to go, but Gu Lingchuan decisively refused, saying, "Don't worry, we're really just going to investigate."
"Okay, be careful, I'll be waiting for you." Bai Ling was a little disappointed. She was still too weak. Although she was in the third stage, she couldn't beat any of the other four members of the five-person team in a head-on confrontation.
Lin Yu already has a second-stage evolved tiger and many first-stage evolved creatures, which can easily wear him down.
Lin An's superpower is very unfair. As long as he is not instantly killed, his fighting spirit will always exist. Under the influence of emotions, it will accumulate and become stronger. Sometimes, he will even become weaker because of his own emotional changes.
Not to mention Gu Lingchuan and Gu Lingxiao. Gu Lingxiao is a monster, and Gu Lingchuan's mental domain is always open, maintaining minimal consumption. Even so, basically no creature can enter his ten-meter range silently.
However, if Xiaolinchuan's mental domain can penetrate objects, then wouldn't he have already been seen naked?
As Bai Ling pondered, her thoughts drifted, a blush rose to her cheeks, and she looked at Gu Lingchuan with a strange expression.
Gu Lingchuan was puzzled by the stare. "What's wrong?"
Bai Ling snapped out of her daze. "No, it's nothing."
Gu Lingchuan thought about it carefully and it seemed like there was nothing wrong with it. Not letting her go didn't seem like there was any problem either.
If you can't figure it out, all I can say is, "Speak up if you have something on your mind; don't let it fester and cause misunderstandings."
"Really, no," Bai Ling stepped forward and kissed Gu Lingchuan's cheek.
Go early and come back early.
Gu Lingchuan took five thousand ordinary zombie crystals and fifty mutated zombie crystals comparable to the first stage from public resources.
There was a previous rule that 10% of the crystal cores obtained from each zombie hunt must be reserved as backup resources for the survivor base, in case of unforeseen circumstances. This is currently just a tentative rule and may be changed later.
Without any hesitation, the two got ready and set off immediately, following the route Gu Lingxiao had taken before, as exploring a new path would be too uncertain.
For example, when Gu Lingchuan probed the Gobi Desert with his mental energy, he found nothing unusual.
