Chapter 45 You Are Not Welcome in the Dark Forest
Wisps of light, they are like gossamer, from a height of hundreds of feet, the giant tree antlers pierced the sky above the treetops, and then passed through layers of gray clouds, and finally found a gap in time, struggling to penetrate like raindrops, in the Han Yuan appeared in front of his eyes.

Some of them landed on the scale-like branches of the black fern growing on the dark side of the shadows, and the hammers produced golden spots of light.More finally achieved their wishes, landing on a large piece of dark green sphagnum moss attached to the surface, like tiny fireflies, flying in the dark.

In a blink of an eye, a few pink berries in the surrounding area produced a lot of attractive fruits. Beside them, there happened to be a pale and fat elephant ear mushroom sticking to the root of the tree. Thousands of variegated worms rustled among the archaea, and became clear in sight.

At this time, the air began to be filled with a kind of sweet smell that seemed to be absent. If he was addicted to smelling it, it would make Han Yuan dizzy, so his vision gradually blurred, and he could not hear Yelu who was five feet away from him. What the hell is Erde talking to him.

"Erde, I'm here, speak louder."

Brother Cen Hushi raised his arm to signal, and he shouted loudly who was only three steps away from Han Yuan.

I have to say that Brother Cen Hushi's shout really worked. Han Yuan immediately woke up and said in his heart:
"The dark forest is really strange. No wonder the team leader asked us to remind each other often and be careful when we were on the road."

Cui Mianzhi's order is based on the fact that he saw someone posting this on the message wall of the shelter marked "Ku Nine West Sixth Nineteenth" near the dark forest:

"Walking with my head buried in a strange and lonely dark forest, with companions who often shout loudly beside me, is an extremely effective way for me to get out of the illusion. I know that the dark forest does not welcome me. Having a companion Here, that’s great. Poster: Bi Nan Er San Jiu.”

An hour ago, Cui Mian ordered Yelu Erde to lead Monk Damang, Brother Cen Hushi, and Han Yuan as the first group of vanguards to step into the dark forest.The four of them set off from the ninth day of the ninth day of the ninth day of the cave, followed the instructions of the mission, went deep into the dark forest for [-] miles, then turned westward, arrived at the sign "Kuyou West Ninth District", and found a place named " The mystery of the "peat floating island", where there may be a tiny shelter.

Regarding this shelter, Cui Mianzhi specifically reminded them to carefully check the corners of the shelter, and don’t let go of any places around rocks, tree trunks, etc. that can be carved with a knife to see if there are any predecessors. If there is a message or some special mark, it must be rubbed and brought back.The time for this mission was set by Cui Mianzhi as 24 hours.

Seeing everyone gathered, Yelu Erde said: "Now we have gone five hundred steps into the dark forest, how do you feel?"

Han Yuan immediately replied: "Er De, if there is no brother Cen Hushi shouting at the side, my five senses have already fallen into ecstasy, the dark forest, it can really do things."

Yelu Erde continued to ask: "What about you two?"

Brother Cen Hushi said with a bitter face: "Second Virtue, so do I."

Monk Damang said in a low voice, "Goodness, goodness. Just now, when I was opening the way, my five senses were instantly lost, and my physical body automatically lost a level. This feeling of being an ordinary monk makes the monk feel extremely uncomfortable."

Han Yuan and Brother Cen Hushi said in surprise at the same time: "Da Mang, your body's value has automatically dropped by one level so quickly, is it true?"

Monk Da Mang bowed his head and said: "It's good, good, monks never tell lies."

Han Yuandao: "Then we have to test the waters against the Mutant Beasts. It is safest to find some low-level ones first, but it's a pity that Lei Ming is not here."

Yelu Erde interjected: "Han Yuan, don't worry, Lei Ming's speed advantage is in the dark forest, I guess it may be restricted a lot, this is why the team leader didn't arrange him to be included in the starting lineup this time! Okay! Don't gossip, based on what you said just now, I think that in the next three hours, we should first focus on adapting cautiously, and if we encounter a mutant beast whose judgment is temporarily unknown, avoid it if we can. In addition, everyone According to my previous instructions, the respective responsibilities remain the same and keep a distance. Every other cup of tea, everyone reminds each other. Every hour, everyone gathers together. Do you understand?" Seeing everyone nodding, Yelu Erde drank in a low voice One voice: "Let's go!"

According to Yelu Erde's plan in advance, the monk Damang opened the way with the saber, and he assisted and observed to find the marks left by the predecessors. Because the dark forest is a rare lost path, he opened up a road that has been repeatedly marked by high-level warriors. Confirmed safe travel path is extremely important.The Refuge's marks for repeated confirmation are set at:
At least three times, the level can be qualitatively safe.

After a cup of tea, Yelu Erde, who was five feet away, turned back and raised his arms, signaling "two" and "three" successively, and shouted at the same time:

"I found the second mark, which has been repeatedly confirmed three times. Brother Cen Hushi, have you found anything new?"

Brother Cen Hushi shouted loudly: "Er De, I haven't discovered anything new here."

Han Yuan stepped forward quickly and came to the place where Yelu Erde had stopped before. There was a black cool fern as thick as an anaconda growing there, and three arrows pointing at the same point were engraved on its trunk.Han Yuan still held the broken halberd and carved an arrow in the same direction, then shouted loudly:

"Erde, the second place, the fourth marking is completed."

An hour later, under the premise of being cautious, they went deep into the dark forest for twenty miles, and everyone immediately gathered.

Yelu Erde asked: "Have you all adapted to the perceptual deviation now? How do you feel?"

Han Yuandao: "The main reason is that there is an obvious deviation in the perception of time. For example, after this hour has passed, since you shouted to summon me, I found that you and I have a deviation of three breaths per hour. Usually, within twelve hours, at least the two of us The time deviation should not be too much. As for the impact on space perception and combat power, the specifics will not be known until after the actual combat. Damn, it’s terrible to drop ranks. Accurate, or I am accurate."

Yelu Erde suddenly became embarrassed, and the other two nodded solemnly in agreement after hearing this.Because in Monk Damang's perception, he was four breaths behind Yelu Erde.Brother Cen Hu and Shi had more, and the difference between the two sides was as much as six breaths.

Regarding the perception bias of time, Han Yuan was right.

For high-level warriors, it is often an extremely terrifying thing to suddenly drop a level during the cultivation process. The feeling is like an ordinary person suddenly falling from a high altitude.Originally, as Lei Ming once stated to Han Yuan, the high-level warrior is a stage that locks in the peaks of a person's physical body and normalizes them.The appearance of a sudden loss of rank is the loss of the five senses, but the real meaning is that it is firstly caused by the backlash of the physical body, and it is fixed in the deviation of the time perception of the high-ranking fighters.

If everything is normal, even if the seasons are unclear in the burrow, day and night are not distinguished, even if there is no hourglass timekeeping with you, if you have cultivated to the eighth level of warriors or above, you don’t need the external environment as a reference, just rely on the control of your own body. Contrast perceptual passage of time.Usually, within twelve hours, it can be said that there is no difference between the hourglass timing in the world, but once the level is dropped, the biological clock will inevitably be disordered, which will affect the speed, reaction, explosive power, etc. of a high-level warrior. In terms of deviation, the process of cultivation will also become without a reference.

Faced with such a difficult and embarrassing question, Yelu Erde thought for a while, and could only sigh: "Whoever is the correct timekeeper at present, you are temporarily using the gesture I summon every hour to check again." Time. Fortunately, this task is only for two days, and the time difference between us will not be so large that it is irreconcilable. For the next two hours, I will continue to maintain my previous task assignment. Okay, now re- According to my password, one, two, three, right time! Let's go!"

Half an hour later, when Han Yuan engraved a new mark on the fourth repeatedly marked reference object observed by Yelu Erde, there was no way ahead.

Looking at the road ahead pointed by the arrow, not to mention the entanglement of branches and vines, even those intertwined roots of trees are like countless big pythons entrenched in the road ahead, blocking everyone's progress.

I don't know why the first martial artist who carved a mark on the black cool fern tree chose this path, maybe just as Yelu Erde guessed:
"If I were appointed to be a pioneer in the dark forest, I would definitely choose to follow the traces of wild beasts, after all, that's what our ancestors did."

It's a pity that even Dai Zong, the second pioneer dispatched by the Binansuo, said unswervingly to his companions when he walked through this road:

"I believe that one day, as long as we walk more, the path of the dark forest will naturally be formed."

But this time the monk Damang, who was the pioneer in the front, sighed helplessly:
"Amitabha, how many years have passed, this road seems to have been forcibly taken back by the dark forest, good and good."

Just as Monk Damang cried out in his heart, he had no choice but to split hundreds of branches and vines with his Jie knife. At this moment, the surroundings suddenly became dark, and the silence of the gloomy forest at this moment was almost frightening.

Immediately, Han Yuan saw the rays of light leaking from the zenith like rain, and the dark forest suddenly entered a strange world.

First of all, what Han Yuan saw was still a magnificent space composed of countless huge tree roots.It may be that the dark tree body is too large, so that everyone present began to mistakenly think:

It's just a color blended with the gray clouds as the main tone of the dark forest.

But with the rain-like light, it finally flew around like fireflies, and suddenly, the light poured down from the zenith along the trunk of the giant tree like a waterfall, and the main body of the tree revealed its true appearance in an instant.

From an intuitive point of view, it is more magnificent than the main body of the thousand-circle Taoist tree that Han Yuan saw on the second floor of the Duobao Pagoda. It is just that the Taoist tree sprouts and towers over the trunk of Yuzhang. The giant tree seen here is like It was the wreckage of a Dao tree. If it wasn't illuminated by the waterfall of light, Han Yuan wouldn't be able to see its lifeless appearance clearly.

Rao is so, as the saying goes, when a whale falls, all things are born.

When the waterfall of light splashed hundreds of millions of light spots, the entire dark forest suddenly became extremely vivid.
