Hunter Queen: Killer Queen

Everything in the eastern forest seemed very normal, but it was this normality that made Joey and the others feel the slightest bit abnormal.

This is the dark continent!

Especially since this place is close to the Labyrinth City, Joey and the others have seen too many experimental reports in that database.

And many of these experiments were completed near the labyrinth city.

Whether it's the things in the lake or the things in the western mountains, they are all related to experiments.

How could it be possible that in this eastern forest, there would be no remnants of the experiment?

Besides, judging from the environment in this forest, it really doesn't look like a normal place.

Because not only are the products here rich, the environment is also very suitable for biological growth.

The more they were in this seemingly normal environment, the more cautious Joey and the others became. No one wanted to overturn the car here.

But this is often the case. After walking for three days in a row, no matter whether it was day or night, everyone in the forest was at most attacked by jackals, tigers and leopards.

And this kind of attack, let alone causing harm to everyone, can only be regarded as adding food to everyone.

However, during this period, the figure of the black dragon passed over their heads, giving them a greater sense of crisis.

After searching for these days, that guy still hasn't given up searching nearby.

I don’t know if it has gained anything in the past few days.

However, as they kept walking through the forest, everyone gradually discovered a problem, that is, the forest seemed too huge.

With their pace, not only could they cover a thousand miles in three days, but they could easily cover hundreds of miles.

But after running down like this, there was no tendency to walk out of the forest. Even the scene in front of them was not much different from when they first entered the forest.

This always gives a few people the illusion that they have lost their way in the forest and are running around in circles.

But flying into the sky, they could see a towering mountain in the distance, standing directly in front of them.

The mountain seemed to remind them that they were heading in the right direction.

The sentence "Looking up the mountain and running to death" seems to have become the most realistic portrayal of them after entering the forest.

"Why do I feel that after running for three days, I didn't get close to that mountain at all?" Du En said with some confusion.

After three days of traveling, everyone was not tired, but in high spirits.

After all, there is no crisis, and this situation of rushing in the forest is not much different from resting for them.

Especially since the mercenary robot could provide them with a stable place to rest, everyone took turns to get a full rest.

"It's true that I don't feel close, but the position of the mountain has never changed." Joey also frowned.

"While running looking at the mountain, and still not getting any closer to the mountain, we have to think about some other possibilities." Jin stopped everyone from moving forward.

Obviously he has made some guesses or noticed something.

"Several possibilities. One, is that big mountain moving all the time?" Seeing the crowd gathered around, Jin directly expressed his thoughts without delay.

If the mountain is really moving as Jin said, then it is indeed possible that they will not be able to catch up.

Can mountains move?

"You mean, that's not a mountain, but a living being?" Joey quickly grasped the key point.

After seeing how huge Mukui was and the huge monster they encountered on the way here, it was not difficult for everyone to accept Jin's statement.

If it was really a monster as huge as a mountain, then as long as the opponent moved, it would be really difficult for them to catch up with the opponent.

And it also fits the feeling of being slightly closer to the other person after being on the road for a long time.

"Well, this is indeed a possibility." Everyone nodded, recognizing Jin's first guess.

"It's actually not difficult to verify this. If we continue on the road at our current speed, we may be able to get close to the opponent completely in just ten days." Du En said after some calculations.

"But you can't be sure whether the other party is always walking in a straight line." Joey reminded.

Compasses and other things have long been a mess in the dark continent, and the sun in the sky seems to have no reference value.

It is also troublesome to make sure that oneself and his party are always heading east.

Before, I was running towards the mountain, but now that the mountain is moving, it’s all about feeling.

As for experience, it really doesn't play much role in this forest, otherwise they wouldn't choose to use mountains as markers.

"It's not going to be a circle." Leza said as if he was joking.

"Then I don't know." Liszt didn't give any face at all: "If it is really walking in a circle, then we can only admit it.

But when the time comes to walk around and return to the lake, I can choose another path, even if it requires going around the forest. "

Indeed, it is a good idea to choose to avoid the forest if you are not sure about it.

But only if they are following the "mountain" in circles.

Joey felt that this possibility was unlikely. At the same time, he also had some other ideas in his mind, but he couldn't grasp the clue for a while.

"This is just a possibility I said." Jin's words interrupted Joey's thinking: "There is another possibility, we have become smaller."

King presents a situation that Joey didn't envision.

Just thinking about it carefully, this is indeed a possibility.

"From the moment we entered the forest, we were silently shrunk countless times. Under such circumstances, the mountain is still a mountain, but the distance from us is who knows how much farther than when we looked outside the forest before. ." Jin continued to explain.

"If this is the case, as long as you continue to move forward, you will eventually escape from the forest one day, and it will naturally recover by then." Du En frowned and thought.

"But if we shrink it, it may bring us more trouble and danger. Can we really get out of this forest?" Liszt was pessimistic.

"No, I have a basis for saying I can leave." Du En shook his head: "The black dragon before passed over our heads.

Did you feel that the black dragon had become bigger at that time? no!

Does this mean that if we shrink, the black dragon will also shrink when it enters the forest.

But the black dragon then left this area. From previous observations, it is not difficult to find that the black dragon also went to that high mountain.

But throughout the whole process, we didn't feel that the black dragon had grown or shrunk, so if we really fell into some kind of shrinking cycle, we could one day get out and recover as long as we kept moving forward. "

Du En's statement does make sense to Joey, but there are also other problems.

Even this question leaves some loopholes in Jin's conjecture.

That is, the mountains in the distance look unchanged now and before they entered the forest.

In Joey's opinion, there are only a few possibilities.

Either they didn't shrink or anything, which means Jin's theory doesn't hold true.

Either they have shrunk, but the mountain has also shrunk in their eyes.

In this way, the black dragon did not actually fly out of range, but instead became smaller with them.

If you just think about it this way, is it still possible to leave and recover? How far do they need to go?

There are too many questions.

The last possibility is a visual problem. The mountain is still the same mountain, and the size of the black dragon has also changed. The only thing that remains unchanged is the size of the objects they see.

In this way, if you want to leave and recover, it will be as simple as Du En guessed, just walk out of the forest.

But is there really such a place in the Dark Continent where there is almost no danger and is just a waste of everyone's time?

Joey's suspicion was not that he had any paranoia about being persecuted, he just wanted to be more cautious.

After all, on this continent, the price paid for slacking off may be life.

At least Joey felt like he hadn't lived enough.

And compared to the second conjecture proposed by Jin, Joey is more willing to believe in the first possibility.

Larger forests are normal. This is a common situation even within the scope of Lake Mobius, let alone in the dark continent where the edge is unknown.

And no matter what the guess is, there is only one thing they can do next, and that is to move on.

The discussion seemed to be fruitless.

But as he continued to move forward, Joey found that everyone was no longer impetuous and anxious, and became more purposeful.

Just when Joey and others fell into the forest, a group of people also returned to the location of the Dark Door.

And these people are the members of the association who were teleported away by the light beam.

The leader is the current president Qi Duo.

Although the association cannot be said to have made a lot of money during this trip to the Dark Continent, the longevity rice they got behind the stone gate was enough to satisfy everyone.

Therefore, after being teleported back this time, more people had the idea of ​​leaving the Dark Continent.

On the one hand, even if they continue to explore with their remaining manpower, they may not be able to gain much benefit, and may even lose more lives.

On the other hand, the threat from the black dragon is too great.

If we continue to wander here, no one can be sure when the black dragon will appear again.

However, if you want to leave, you have to wait until the Dark Door opens again, so in the short term, this group of people will need to stay outside the Dark Door for a certain period of time.

Pjorn and Milton got together.

They were more concerned about the situation of Joey, Jin and others at this time, but there was no way to contact them here at all, so they were planning to leave some information for Joey and others near the Dark Portal.

But before they could find a suitable place, bad news was first conveyed.

During the physical examination of everyone, it was found that everyone's bodies were invaded by a special force.

It's like a virus has quietly infected everyone.

This virus does not cause any special symptoms to infected people, but after research, it is not difficult to find that if the "virus" cannot be eliminated in time, the results waiting for them in the future may not be good.

"You're saying we might be moving toward what gold and silver ingots look like over time?"

Listening to the situation discussed by Qi Duo, Crook and others, even Milton couldn't help but change his expression.

"Well, everyone who has entered the ancient city must have been infected." Qi Duo also had a bit of bitterness on his face.

"Those guys who left the stone gate should have a solution." Milton quickly calmed down and proposed a possibility.

If things were really as Qi Duo and the others judged, then those people who had lived in ancient cities for a long time should have turned into gold and silver ingots long ago.

But the reality is, none of those guys have changed.

"There is another possibility." Pyoern thought of another possibility: "Those people not only planted longevity rice behind the stone gate, is it possible that they also planted vanilla? After all, we only found the land of longevity rice, and there are some We don’t know what was planted on the clearly cleared land before, but it won’t always be barren.”

"Is it a herb that can cure all diseases? If there is it, this kind of virus-like erosion may indeed be cured." Qi Duo thought about the possibility given by Pyonn, but then shook his head: "But even if So what if we planted vanilla before? The question now is where to find those who left.”

There was no mention of searching for vanilla, because according to the association's information, the origin of vanilla was the ancient city.

After seeing Mukui, the black dragon and the giant whale get together in the past, it is impossible for them to return to the ancient city no matter what.

Because that is not much different from seeking death.

And those who are most likely to have vanilla in their hands now are naturally the ancient people who walked out of these stone gates.

But how to find these guys who have disappeared long ago?

Even Qi Duo and the others can think of a situation, that is, if these people are not sent towards the Dark Portal like them, but are sent deeper into the Dark Continent, then they have no chance at all. ?

To find each other in the dark continent full of crises, the chance is slim no matter how you think about it.

"If it's really something like a virus, let's call in professionals!" Pjorn thought for a long time and could only think of two methods.

One is what she said is to find professionals, such as the association's virus hunter Sambika, maybe she can find a way to crack this erosion.

The other is to suppress the speed of erosion through the combination of divine words and divine inscriptions.

In the current situation, she actually thought of Joey's situation at the first time.

At that time, Jin Ke came up with a plan to temporarily suppress it by studying the divine characters.

Pyonn still has a lot of divine pattern patterns and divine words collected during this expedition. If she can study them clearly, she will be able to find a way to solve the situation, but she is confident that she can still do it if she prolongs the transformation time. Did it.

But she was not in a hurry to say the latter. After all, there were only a few people in the association who knew the divine words.

In this way, Pyorn hopes to find Joey and Jin even more.

Especially Jin, his attainments in divine characters are even higher than everyone else. (End of chapter)
