The swamp has a complex terrain with many mud pits in the middle. These mud pits are far apart and look just like ordinary ground, but they hide countless killers. There are giant water bodies and various ultrasonic plants in these mud pits.
Moreover, there are all sorts of croaking bullfrogs here. These mutated bullfrogs can suck out the muddy water from the mud pit and spew out a stream of water with extremely high damage, which will have a great impact on them along the way.
"The swamp ahead won't be easy to cross; we need to think of a way to minimize our damage!"
After observing the mud pit ahead with his night vision binoculars, Lu Yuan immediately made a decision.
"Let's take our baby dragon with us and keep going. Those mutated bullfrogs will avoid us when they see the baby dragon. We just need to take care of ourselves and make sure we don't sink to the bottom. The plants there won't cooperate!"
Everyone nodded in agreement. They changed into their individual flight suits, adjusted their positions, and then slowly glided upwards.
Lu Yuan held the baby dragon in his arms. He flew forward, and the bullfrogs around them, having sensed the presence of the baby dragon, huddled in the mud, only their eyes showing as they stared intently at them, wanting to attack but not daring to.
Meanwhile, the surrounding vines continued to attack them relentlessly, so Lu Yuan and his team's most important task was to cut down these waving vines.
After walking like this for so long, they finally made it through the quagmire.
When they reached solid ground, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing how exhausted everyone looked, Lu Yuan ordered them to rest for a while.
He then dispatched a Flying Tiger reconnaissance robot to fly forward.
However, just after the robot had flown a few hundred meters, something suddenly appeared above the camera like a whip, lashing out at us.
With a loud thud, the robot plummeted from the sky, not even having a chance to react before being slammed to the ground.
Then countless flowers opened their mouths and swallowed their robot whole.
Lu Yuan was stunned after watching the footage on the monitor.
"No way, what kind of plant is this? It even eats steel robots?"
He carefully examined the last few images and discovered that the monster was actually a tree spirit.
The vast majority of them actually have the faces of wild beasts. They appear to have fur, but they also have plant roots. Their weapons are whips, and the aerial roots growing around their large mouths are all reflections of them. These things contain strong corrosive properties that can corrode some things.
Lu Yuan and his companions were once again unable to defeat the tree spirit; they had to kill it to pass through the narrow canyon passage.
However, this tree spirit was so large that it completely filled a road more than 50 meters wide, with its vines covering everything.
Black liquid continued to drip from the top of the vine. Chen Yan and her team sent a robot to cut off a vine and bring it back. After testing, they found that the vine contained a strong neurotoxin.
"If this thing were to strike a person, it could cause the failure of all organs in less than five seconds. It's extremely dangerous. We should stay away and not blindly test it, because this tree spirit is very large and possesses powerful attack capabilities!"
After the inspection, Chen Yan's expression was very serious. Lu Yuan naturally knew that if she said that, it would definitely have a great impact, so he quickly told everyone to retreat and discuss countermeasures.
Using large-scale weapons to investigate here might provoke attacks from nearby mutated beasts. Lu Yuan didn't want those mutated beasts to launch a siege against them, so he naturally had to choose to deal with the mutated tree spirit from other angles.
The baby dragon was very well-behaved, lying motionless inside the tent, as if digesting the fourth-tier crystal.
The crystal provides him with a great deal of energy that our bodies need, so he is resting now. Lu Yuan trusts him completely and doesn't care what he's doing.
In another account, a group of people were discussing how to deal with the highly toxic mutant strain in the distance.
Just then, a small, slightly blue head emerged from a gap in Lu Yuan's tent, through a small hole.
She first looked around and, finding no one chasing him, she slightly twisted her body and unzipped her husband's jacket. His small figure slowly moved towards the distant path that blocked their way through the camp.
Most of the people in the camp were busy. Some were inspecting various machines, some were cooking, and others were doing other jobs.
Lu Yuan and his group held a meeting inside the tent.
The meeting lasted quite a while, so Lu Yuan only ended it after Xiao Shan called them several times, and then took everyone to dinner.
While eating, Lu Yuan stretched and looked around.
"Has our dragon not appeared yet?"
Xiao Shan gently shook her head and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"I checked on him half an hour ago, and he was still fast asleep in the tent. He's probably still asleep. Never mind him! Let's eat first. I saved all his food for him!"
Lu Yuan nodded slightly, and then everyone ate together while discussing the remaining issues from the meeting.
