Chapter 46 The Unmutated Spirit-seeking Mouse
Any root of the giant tree is more than one foot thick.Its surface is covered by various kinds of mosses, lichens and a kind of exotic grass called "xuanlan".

In the slightly flickering light, it presents different shades of green.

The most in sight are those wanton climbing vines, they climb from the roots of one giant tree to another, tightly entangled.

Some even grow attached to the main root, twisting and struggling upwards, and finally emerge from the zenith accumulated by gray clouds, with traces of white light, and the naked ones hang down like freshly dried noodles.

Some vines also penetrated into the roots of the trees and passed from one end to the other, forming rhizome trees.Each plant grows straight up like chopsticks, like an old tree sprouting new shoots.When someone's eyes stopped, instantly, fist-sized dark red flowers bloomed, exuding an attractive and sweet fragrance.

At this time, hundreds of millions of strange insects of all kinds began to move.

Han Yuan has sharp eyes, and after a little observation, he found that there are no less than seven types recorded in the "Illustrated Book of Catacomb Items Exchanged for Military Merit", and he is about to call Yelu Erde and others to come forward and grab them. The military merit conversion value is extremely high There were giant maggots, and there was a rustling sound, and a group of snow-white spirit mice came out of unknown burrows.

"Good guy, this spirit mouse is worth a fortune."

Brother Cen Hushi bent his bow and set an arrow, and was about to shoot it, when Yelu Erde quickly stopped him and said:
"Stop it, you can't die if you want to."

Seeing Brother Cenhu and Shi withdrawing his bow angrily, Yelu Erde said slowly: "Don't look at this thing's small size, it is actually very difficult to deal with, and it holds vengeance very much. We are now in the dark forest, and the future situation is temporarily unknown, so it is better to avoid troubles." wonderful."

Han Yuan and Monk Da Mang both nodded and said "yes".

That group of spirit mice didn't shy away from people being around at all, they just circled around the "root tree" in a whirlwind, picking a kind of black creeper they liked most to eat.

Han Yuan couldn't help being curious, and asked, "Er De, why are these spirit-seeking mice not afraid of people at all? And they haven't changed?"

Yelu Erde thought to himself: "The Holy Mountain is also haunted by spirit mice, how can they be afraid of people." Thinking of this, Yelu Erde laughed.However, everything about the holy mountain is absolutely confidential to the Khitan tribe. It is inconvenient for him to reveal anything to outsiders, so he can only say to Han Yuan: "Maybe the spirit-seeking mice here, from birth to death, from generation to generation. Have you ever seen a stranger before?"

Han Yuan was not completely satisfied with this answer. Fortunately, Brother Cen Hushi smiled and said, "Er De, Han Yuan's real question is: Why did the spirit mouse not change? I am also curious about this."

Yelu Erde spat: "I'm not the kind of team leader who can know everything. How can I know why the spirit mouse doesn't change?" Hearing this, everyone laughed.

While talking and laughing, I faintly heard an extremely distant long roar of a beast in the distance. Before Han Yuan could distinguish it carefully, he saw that the group of spirit-seeking rats that were eating happily suddenly fell silent, and the first few jumped to the tree immediately. On the root, stand up and look around.

The largest one among them was obviously the leader of the group of spirit-seeking rats. It squeaked and looked extremely angry.

Han Yuan couldn't help laughing: "Yes, we were completely ignored by these little guys."

It can be said so, everyone hastened to hold weapons in their hands.

Yelu Erde had just counted three breaths, when Han Yuan said in a cold voice: "The ones coming are Mutant Beasts, two loaves are coming, about thirty, wait, there are more coming from the south, I will count them, Five, ten... fifteen."

Han Yuan had just counted to fifteen, when the leading spirit mouse screamed loudly, jumped down from the root of the tree, and led a group of spirit mice towards the northwest.

Northwest is the only direction where Han Yuan didn't perceive the existence of を.

Yelu Erde shouted: "Shoot first, don't let these guys get close."

While talking, Yelu Erde and Brother Cen Hushi each took a position, and took an arrow from the arrow Hulu and opened the bow. There was a sudden sound of opening and closing of the bowstring, and seven in a row were shot to death by the two of them within twenty steps. open.

Han Yuan is not neglecting here either.

In the environment of the dark forest, which is extremely restrictive to the warrior's movement skills, the level of difficulty is undoubtedly multiplied for those who are good at the next three-way sneak attack.Fortunately, he had already tightened the last part of the long spear. He first raised his hand and shot one head fifteen steps away with a crossbow arrow.を was swept away, and now there is room for walking, and then a frontal blow with a gun pierces one of を's sharpened heads.

At the same time, Monk Damang, relying on his thick skin and flesh, strode forward, stepped through the dense thorns, and beheaded the heads that sprang out from the other side with a knife.

This is not the first time that everyone has encountered this. Although they suffered a loss at the beginning, they have summed up their experience in the end.Therefore, when it was discovered that the を beast was attacking them, they were also dividing up their troops to track down the spirit mouse. Yelv Erde immediately adjusted his tactics and ordered to stand firm and not attack.

After they had killed nearly twenty を, the remaining を finally gathered into a stream from three sides, and rushed towards the northwest direction where the spirit mouse escaped.

The four of them quickly cleaned the battlefield and harvested the battle evidence. Brother Cen Hushi asked, "Er De, what shall we do next?"

"What else can I do, continue with the previous method, but it's still interesting. The direction indicated by the marked arrow is actually the same as the direction in which the spirit mouse is escaping." Speaking of this, Yelu Erde had a strange expression on his face.

Although everyone was suspicious, the battle between Shicai and を was their first battle in the dark forest, and they all secretly evaluated the impact of the changes in the environment on their own combat power.

After following for about a stick of incense, I finally found the fifth black fern engraved with arrow marks, but this time the first two arrows engraved on the tree point to the northeast, and the last one points to the northwest.

Han Yuan hurriedly shouted: "Er De, which direction should I engrave the arrow?"

Yelu Erde turned around and said with a smile: "Han Yuan, have you lost your head in the battle just now, do you think I am heading in the northeast?"

Han Yuan cursed secretly, "Damn." Immediately, he carved an arrow pointing to the northwest on the trunk of the black cool fern.

After walking northwest for another half an hour, the directions of two consecutive marked arrows were the same as the direction in which the spirit-seeking mouse escaped.

Yelu Erde smiled and said: "Good guy, it's not like the person from back then was also chasing spirit mice to open the way!"

Unfortunately, after the appointed hour, when the crowd gathered again, Yelu Erde stopped at the eighth marked arrow, hesitating.Because there are four arrow marks in this marker, two of which point to the true north, and the other two point to the west.

"The spirit-seeking mouse has gone to the west, but according to our mission, the first thing is to go deep into the dark forest for [-] miles. Well, let's finish the mission first."

After finishing speaking, Yelu Erde and the three of them adjusted their time and headed north.

Since the dark forest cannot build shelters and transport roads on a large scale like the first stage, low-level warriors are currently unable to enter at all, and can only rely on high-level warriors to form a team, or forcefully open the way.Yelu Erde and the others are currently located at a junction point between Kuyou West Sixth District and West Seventh District. The main task of their trip is still to "open the way."

Regarding opening the way, the Difficulty Establishment is defined as: in the dark forest, the actions of high-level warriors, all paths that are marked less than three times are "opening the way", and different levels of military merit points are set according to the sequence level.

Participating in the Catacomb Warrior Trial, Cui Mianzhi's tactical style has always followed the action rule of "keeping the right first, and always preparing for surprises". Risk of personal injury.

Yelu Erde adhered to the tactical thinking of "keeping integrity first", even though he had an intuition that "if you follow the direction where the spirit mouse escapes, there may be unexpected opportunities", he still chose the original mission arrangement.

Walking to the ninth marked point, Yelu Erde carefully observed the surroundings, took out a special fountain pen, and sketched in the marching book.Then, he signaled to Brother Cen Hushi and Han Yuan who were behind him: "The ninth mark has been found, and it has been confirmed twice. Brother Cen Hushi, do you have any new discoveries?"

Brother Cen Hushi said loudly: "I didn't find any marks, but I saw the footprints of a fan (fan) just now, and it seems that the footprints were left within an hour."

Before Han Yuan could reply, Yelu Erde immediately raised his arms and shouted loudly: "Listen to my order, gather at the position where brother Cen Hushi is."

With the start of the second phase of the task, the biggest trouble each group encountered was the beast. It can be said that every time the beast appears, it will bring casualties.Even Cui Mianzhi was quite troubled by the strange and unpredictable behavior of the beasts, because in the first stage, the "one death and three injuries" of low-level fighters in their group were all related to the appearance of the beasts, and what made Cui Mianzhi particularly nervous was: In the hunting ground, the long sound of the suspected beast "Wa" was heard last, and Yue Chong personally confirmed that it was already at the seventh level of human martial arts.

Yelu Erde found the animal footprints that brother Cen Hushi had just discovered, and after careful inspection, he assigned everyone to continue searching within a radius of [-] feet.

After a stick of incense, Han Yuan said: "I have found a total of six animal footprints here, and the direction is exactly the same as our direction to the north. In addition, there are about dozens of animal footprints scattered around, and other animal footprints that I can't distinguish. Judging from the footprints, it's even newer than the animal footprints, and it happened half an hour ago."

Monk Da Mang followed and said, "That's great, I also found three animal footprints here."

Yelu Erde's face was serious: "According to the notes of the Digou Department in the "Guidelines for the Survival of Catacomb Warriors", ten beasts can form a strange killing game and can hunt down martial arts. Damn, what a coincidence, just ten .”

Han Yuan frowned and said, "Stealthy beast, I have encountered it five times back and forth, I always have a feeling that what the local dog department marked is a mutated beast. Is the scorpion beast really mutated by the mist? The local dog department Did you make a mistake, this guy is simply too..."

"Too mysterious, too cunning, too unpredictable like the human nature in the adult world, and the mutant beasts invaded by the mist usually have only one emotion, that is, an infinite malice towards people. Han Yuan, let me tell you for you ,Is it like this?"

When Yelu Erde said this, Han Yuan quickly nodded and said, "Erde, that's how it is. Damn it, I really don't understand it."
