These mushrooms have huge and exaggerated umbrella caps. The smallest ones are as big as a fist, while the larger ones can be as tall as two people.Most of these mushrooms have beautiful purple or blue patterns on their caps.

"puff!!!"

Just as Zhang Jing was observing carefully, a chimney-like organ on the top of a mushroom umbrella that was as tall as a person in the distance suddenly opened wide and sprayed a mass of matter into the sky. It quickly dispersed in the sky and dispersed around. For the floating bits of purple light...

It seems that this beautiful starlight is the spores of mushrooms... Zhang Jing secretly made a guess.

However, what surprised him the most was not the beautiful spores.Instead, he clearly saw faces with clear facial features on the cylindrical stipes of these large and small mushrooms.

In fact, many of the mushrooms' faces were singing with their mouths open, while other mushrooms' faces showed obvious intoxication, which was quite anthropomorphic.

Although, the spores floating in the sky and the brightly colored mushrooms on the ground do make the entire area as beautiful as a fairy tale world.However, behind this beauty, Zhang Jing felt something strange.

He once again used the True Fire Eyes for observation. He found that every mushroom in the mushroom forest ahead was emitting psychedelic flames of varying strength, and even the spores in the air were carrying this kind of light. Light, so that in his field of vision, the rays of light seemed to be connected together, forming a large haze of light.

He didn't think that this mushroom forest, which looked so "unusual" at first glance, existed simply as a tourist attraction.

Although the keys in his hand seemed to have acted as a passport when he encountered mist and vines before, Zhang Jing was not sure, and the same was true for the mushroom forest in front of him.

Therefore, he did not step into the area immediately. Instead, he hid behind a tree and carefully observed the mushrooms. He found that the density of the large number of spores floating in the sky was quite high. If he wanted to avoid touching any of them, he would Quite difficult.The area of ​​this mushroom forest is quite vast, and it is visually impossible to use escape techniques to pass through it directly, at least at his current stage, he cannot do this.

So, is it possible to bypass this mushroom forest as a whole?If possible, he chose not to deal with creatures he didn't understand.

Chapter 187 Mushroom Forest

Zhang Jing thought for a moment, put down the backpack on his back, and then took out a plastic box. There were some scratches on the plastic box, which showed that it was not brand new.He opened it and found five disassembled mechanical parts inside, which looked quite sophisticated.

Zhang Jing took it out and quickly put it together. It turned out to be a palm-sized drone and a remote control handle.

This drone was purchased by Zhang Jing on an online platform to test whether it could be used for reconnaissance during the expedition. Now it is time for it to come into play.

Of course, Zhang Jing cannot buy a real military drone. Currently, the only ones he can buy are civilian ones.Before buying it, Zhang Jing learned through the Internet that the control mechanisms of civilian drones in this world are essentially the same as those in his previous life.

Considering that his possible usage scenario is likely to be in an environment without any network or satellite positioning, Zhang Jing finally purchased a relatively unpopular model that is compatible with radio control.

This quadcopter drone, called the "Exploration 3", is an older model that was used to assist engineering projects in inaccessible places where network signals are missing.However, today, with the rapid advancement of satellite and aerospace technology, even inaccessible locations with no network access can still be connected through navigation satellites. Therefore, this old model lost its market, so it was discontinued decades ago. .

The machine Zhang Jing bought was a second-hand product that he found online. Although the style is a bit older, there are still no big problems in using it. Zhang Jing once tested it in his own yard and the test was relatively successful.

This old-fashioned drone cannot transmit back the shooting data in real time. However, it can still take 360-degree all-round shooting at a fixed height, and then use a wired connection to read the shooting data after landing.

Under Zhang Jing's control, the drone quickly rose into the air. However, the next result was obviously not what he wanted...

In his expectant gaze, the drone, which had risen to a height of about 15 meters above the ground, suddenly exploded with an electric spark, and then fell straight down like a bird shot by an arrow. He came down and fell into a bush not far from Zhang Jing.

Zhang Jing frowned and hurriedly took a few steps to check the drone. He saw that the drone had fallen to pieces. In addition, he could smell an obvious burnt smell from the drone. Zhang Jing After testing it again, as he could see, all the functions on the drone were no longer available.

Sighing, Zhang Jing thought for a while, then disassembled the drone and put it back into its original box, then put it back in his backpack and put it away.He figured that he should be able to confirm what caused the problem with the drone when he went back.

But before that, it is obvious that there should be some protective measures in the sky here. His idea of ​​detecting from the sky seems to be impossible to realize.

In this case, it seems that we have to resort to divination.

Zhang Jing half-squinted his eyes and drew six houses in his palm to calculate. As the calculation continued, his face gradually turned pale, and finally he stopped what he was doing.

After exhaling a long breath, Zhang Jing found out somewhat helplessly that based on the results of his calculations, he could only vaguely realize that there was something he needed deep in the mushroom forest in front of him.

This makes people scratch their heads. It seems that they can't avoid the mushroom forest in front of them.

After careful consideration, Zhang Jing made a decision. He felt it was necessary to confirm whether his key mark could also serve as a passport for these mushrooms.

However, Zhang Jing did not act immediately. Instead, he took out the demon refining pot again and took a sip. Then he adjusted his breathing on the spot for a while. After adjusting his condition, he carefully sneaked over.

Zhang Jing took advantage of the cover of the trees and quickly approached the outskirts of the mushroom forest. The irregularly floating spores suspended in the air were already floating over.

Zhang Jing jumped lightly onto the branches of a large tree that was as thick as an arm's length. From there, he could clearly see more than a dozen spores on the outermost edge flying over... …

From this distance, he could already see clearly that the spores were about the size of a fingernail, and their shape was somewhat similar to miniature umbrella-shaped mushrooms. However, in the position of the cap, there were hairs that resembled jellyfish tentacles. shape object.

Zhang Jing observed it, and then took out a pair of thin gloves from his trouser pocket. Although these gloves are thin, they have a protective layer on the surface that looks like fish scales. They are made of nanomaterials and are not only strong but also durable. Able to prevent corrosion.

He carried it in his hand, waited for the spores to get close to him, reached out and grabbed one of them, and took one of them into his hand...

Yes, Zhang Jing's idea was to alert the enemy.He had already observed that unless he could shrink to the size of a cat, it would be impossible for him to pass through this mushroom forest without getting a few spores.

Zhang Jing guessed that the spores flying all over the sky were probably not that simple.

So, in this case, instead of waiting until you sneak into the depths of the mushroom forest, you will be contaminated with spores when it is inevitable to avoid it, causing unpredictable dangers.Then it is better to catch a spore and test it before entering. If there are any problems, it is better to be prepared in advance.

After all, I haven't really stepped into the mushroom forest yet. If it's really not possible, I can use escape skills to stay away from here at any time, and then make long-term plans.

Sure enough, just as Zhang Jing expected, the spore just fell into Zhang Jing's hand, and before he could take a closer look, it emitted a high-frequency scream like a pinched screaming chicken.

This kind of scream is very special. If Zhang Jing is still an ordinary person, he should not be able to hear this sound. This extremely high-frequency sound is no longer within the sound acceptance range of ordinary ears.However, at this time, Zhang Jing was already in the late second level and was about to enter the third level of monks. His physical and even sensory development had reached an extremely high level. He was able to detect some spectrum and sound bands that ordinary people could not see or hear. He clearly sensed it and immediately realized that he had been exposed.

Zhang Jing looked at his hand and saw that this spore the size of a fingernail actually had a super-small face on its surface, and it was screaming with all its strength.

At the same time as the cry came out, Zhang Jing noticed that all the mushrooms nearby looked over in an instant, and even the singing mushrooms stopped singing.

A pair of eyes looked towards Zhang Jing's position at the same time.

Being stared at by so many mushrooms with eyes at the same time, even Zhang Jing, who had been prepared for it, couldn't help but feel a strange feeling. At the same time, there was also a sense of crisis like a thorn in his back.

This inexplicable sense of crisis made Zhang Jing immediately alert. At that moment, he did not hesitate and simply stood up from the hidden tree. At the same time, he raised his hand to the position next to his face and looked towards those who were betting. line of sight so that they can clearly see the marks on their hands.

Just after these mushrooms focused their attention on the mark on Zhang Jing's hand, some mushrooms looked at it for a while and then moved their eyes to other directions, while other mushrooms that had shut up before started singing again, and everything It seems to be back to its original state.

Even the spores in Zhang Jing's hand seemed to feel something and finally stopped screaming.

Secretly thinking that he must have guessed correctly, Zhang Jing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and his originally tense body gradually relaxed.He looked at the spore in his hand again, and saw that the spore was looking at him with its small eyes open. He tried to reach out and stroke it gently, but saw that it began to grunt like a dog touched by its owner. , quite interesting.

"Hello, can you understand me?" Zhang Jing then tried to communicate with it.

However, it is obvious that the IQ of this kind of spore is not high, and it cannot carry out any complicated communication with Zhang Jing.Zhang Jing soon discovered that this spore could only express its mood simply by humming in kind and screaming in fear. As for other things, it could not make any more responses.

He threw the spore out casually, and saw the spore drifting down the wind for a certain distance before floating there.

No longer paying attention to the spore, Zhang Jing fell down from the tree where he was hiding, and then carefully walked towards the mushroom forest.

As he approached step by step, mushrooms of various sizes kept turning their attention to him. However, due to the keyless mark on the back of his hand, these eyes moved away after looking at him. Stop following him.

Zhang Jing walked into the mushroom forest step by step. Around him, large spores were flying in the space, like large purple haze. Coupled with the color of the mushrooms themselves, the whole forest was filled with A dreamlike and unreal beauty.

However, adhering to the concept that the more beautiful something is, the more likely it is to hide danger, Zhang Jing is still quite careful about these mushrooms.Even though they showed some kindness, he kept an eye on them and tried not to touch them as much as possible.

In this forest, in addition to huge mushrooms, there are also some vines and huge trees growing. Among these trees are many gymnosperms such as cycads, and those vines are not what Zhang Jing has seen outside before. The variety with the human-faced fruit is instead some vines with red spikes, as thick as the mouth of a bowl. Zhang Jing is not a botanist, so he doesn’t know what species they are.

Chapter 188 Stone Statue

There are some plants that appear to be ferns growing on the ground. Perhaps because the surrounding light is darker, the plants here appear to be somewhat special and completely different from the plants in the outside world.

So far, Zhang Jing has not seen any large animals or even birds in this world. He has only occasionally seen some small reptiles that may be lizards and other brightly colored but strange-looking insects crawling hurriedly. Pass.

Continuing forward for about a quarter of an hour, Zhang Jing gradually became familiar with the large number of mushrooms that appeared around him. Similarly, he also confirmed that these mushrooms would not attack him.

He even tried to reach out and touch the stipe of a huge mushroom half as tall as a man. After the mushroom showed no resistance, he boldly scratched it again, and then found that the mushroom emitted a kind of A rhythmic sound similar to laughter.

"Well?"

As he went deeper, in front of a small mound with many mushrooms, Zhang Jing noticed that there were some pale colors flickering between the branches and leaves of the ferns under the mushrooms, which made him feel a little confused. Curious, I wanted to see if there were any ruins hidden underneath, so I used my long sword to open up a bunch of lush plant branches and leaves...

The next moment, he discovered that the pale color was clearly a large skeleton.This skeleton must have gone through a long period of time and has some signs of petrification.

Zhang Jing then simply pulled away many surrounding plants, so that the bones underneath were more clearly exposed in front of him.It turns out that this small mound that looks about two meters high and five or six meters wide is actually the skeleton of a huge creature underneath. Due to the passage of time, nearly half of this skeleton has been buried in the soil. It blends in with the soil below and the surrounding plants.And those mushrooms grew on this huge skeleton.

Zhang Jing observed it and found that the shape of the skeleton was weird. It was obviously not the skeleton type of any creature he knew on earth. On the contrary, it reminded him subconsciously of the strange things he had seen in Lishan Cave. The monster skeleton...

After studying for a while, Zhang Jing decided to move forward, and in subsequent actions, he discovered the same situation several times.

Next to a particularly tall mound, Zhang Jing discovered a plant with bright red stems and leaves growing on the top of the mound. The top of the plant had icy blue flowers, which looked a bit conspicuous.

"Hmm... this is it?" The name of a plant quickly flashed through Zhang Jing's mind. This was a plant he had seen in "Compendium of Materia Medica" before. When talking about the Fa Zang, it was still related to Obtained together with the Demon Refining Pot.

Golden flames flashed in his eyes, and under the observation of True Fire Eyes, he saw that there were blue flames rising around this plant, spinning erratically, which was very strange.

Zhang Jing jumped up to the mound and lowered his body to take a closer look. He saw that the flowers of this plant looked like crystals when viewed up close. They were crystal clear and had a light mist like frost. They were very beautiful.

This is... Bi Luohua?Zhang Jing finally confirmed that this should be the kind of plant he had seen in the Dharma Collection.

But, isn't it said that this plant often grows in evil places?Zhang Jing looked around and suddenly realized something. He used his long sword to pry open the thick layer of humus covering the ground. After about ten centimeters, he saw white bones...

Sure enough, what kind of mound is this? It is clearly a huge monster skeleton. It is just covered with a layer of humus due to time, and this jade flower grows on the top of the skeleton...

When he realized that he was stepping on a huge skeleton, even with Zhang Jing's concentration at this moment, he still felt a little bit hairy.

After calming down for a while, Zhang Jing began to remove the "Bluo Flower". In "Compendium of Materia Medica", this is an important auxiliary medicine. This material is needed when formulating various medicines.

After Zhang Jing picked it up, he put it in a plastic seal bag, sealed it, and put it in his backpack.

After walking for a while, there was a faint sound of water flowing from ahead.

Zhang Jing sped up his pace, similar to when he was in the dirty forest. When moving in such unfamiliar areas, Zhang Jing would not move at high speed because he was concerned that he might be attacked inexplicably. Instead, he would move at a speed that was only slightly faster than ordinary people. Explore forward at a fast pace.Especially whenever he encounters those weird mushrooms, Zhang Jing always exposes the key mark on the back of his hand in a conspicuous position so that they can see it clearly.

In this way, after walking forward for some distance, Zhang Jing saw a stream winding past, and on the other side of the stream, there were large pieces of dilapidated buildings.

When he was in the mushroom forest just now, Zhang Jing found that the number of building debris there was very small. It could be said that there were only sporadic ones. It would be better to see the remains of some human creations from time to time outside the mushroom forest.On the other side of the stream in front of us, the density of buildings is obviously much higher than the first two.

Linking these three places together, it was not difficult for Zhang Jing to deduce that he might have arrived at the core area of ​​this ruins.It is very likely that the original area with many vines and human-faced fruits was the periphery of the ruins, and the mushroom forest was the middle area that isolated the periphery and the core area. There is a high probability that there is some kind of defense. role.

Continuing to move forward, the surrounding mushrooms gradually decreased, and the spores seemed to follow some mysterious boundaries. At the edge of the ruins, they no longer flew into the interior.

After Zhang Jing crossed the stream, he began to go deep into the ruins. The environment here reminded him of the ancient architectural ruins deep in the Mexican rainforest that he had seen in materials and media in his previous life. Everything seemed to have been swept away by time. Abandoning the general, taking the splendor and glory to the west, sleeping quietly in the silence, gradually becoming one with the plants.

Zhang Jing carefully looked at the surrounding environment and found a tall tree about ten meters high not far away. It seemed to be some kind of fir tree.

After two breaths, Zhang Jing had appeared at the top of the big tree, which was the highest position nearby.From here you can see further into the ruins.

According to Zhang Jing's observation, this ruins seems to be a huge garden. There are some structures on the outside of the ruins that should be walls, but most of them have collapsed now. The damaged remains have been integrated with the plants, and most of them only have some basic structures left. tower.

Further inside, there are large areas of damaged ruins. It can be seen that there should have been many fences and some exquisite buildings.In the core area of ​​the ruins, Zhang Jing could see a tall gray building whose style was somewhat similar to the Japanese castle tower that Zhang Jing had seen in his previous life.

Zhang Jing locked his eyes on the building that looked a bit like a castle tower at first sight. It was also the most core and conspicuous building in the ruins.

Landing on the ground lightly, Zhang Jing confirmed the direction and walked in the direction of the target.

Perhaps because no one has passed by for a long time, there is a thick layer of humus on the ground here. When you pick it up, you will make a popping sound of finely chopped leaves. Zhang Jing consciously used the "Earth Sha Forbidden Technique: Floating" 》The mentality is like a light ghost, moving silently in the forest.

He soon came to the remains of the wall and climbed over.After that, he discovered that the part behind the wall seemed to be higher on average than the part outside the wall.Zhang Jing then squatted down and used his long sword to pick apart the dead leaves on the ground. After digging down for a while, he soon discovered the stone floor tiles covered underneath. The floor tiles were made of some kind of blue natural stone. It can be seen that once upon a time, this area must have been leveled and paved with floor tiles.

It can be seen that this place must have been a beautifully decorated courtyard, and the owner of the place must have carefully decorated it.

Zhang Jing carefully walked to the core of the courtyard. He noticed that there were many statues as tall as one person scattered in the courtyard. Most of these statues were carved in the form of monsters, made of hard stone, and lifelike.However, almost without exception, these statues were damaged to varying degrees, and many statues were even shattered by some huge force and shattered into pieces.

Zhang Jing squatted down next to a broken statue, picked up a broken fragment from the ground and looked at it. He saw that the fragment was hard and smooth, with a shell-like texture in the broken place, and the texture was somewhat similar to granite.

Zhang Jing used the secret technique of real fire pupil refining to observe. From the perspective of the secret technique, these statues were like ordinary stone sculptures without any trace of halo.

It seems that it is just a statue...

Zhang Jing thought to himself and continued to move forward.

However, before he had gone very far, changes had already occurred.

"Roar..." A low roar came from not far away from him, rolling across the entire courtyard like muffled thunder.

Zhang Jing had already focused his gaze on the roar as soon as it appeared, and golden flames flashed in his eyes at the same time.

All I saw was a monster statue with an animal head and a human body, and a lot of scars. The rock texture on its body was rapidly fading away, revealing a tan, muscle-like true body.

In Zhang Jing's field of vision, the originally normal stone sculptures ignited with a faint orange and yellow flame after the stone quality faded away.

It seems that the stone state does have some hidden effect, it can disguise itself as an inanimate dead thing to confuse the sneaking enemies.Zhang Jing suddenly understood.

While the monster was changing rapidly, Zhang Jing also raised the back of his hand and showed the mark of the key to the monster.

....................................

Chapter 189 Destroying the Stone Statue

At this time, the monster had completely lost the texture of the rock on its body, and jumped down from the base upright.With a bang, it landed in front of Zhang Jing. It stood on its hind limbs like a human, but the joints of its lower limbs showed an obvious recurvature. Its right hand held a chain-head hammer that looked very heavy, and its left hand was at elbow level. As for Duan, it was obvious that he had been injured before.

This monster has an extremely strong naked body like a Greek sculpture. The tan muscles all over the body are extremely strong, but the head is a ferocious monster, about two meters tall.

But I saw it tilting its head and looking at the mark on Zhang Jing's hand, and then its expression softened slightly, but it still blocked Zhang Jing, growled in a low voice, and spit out two characters.

Although the language it spoke was completely different from today's language, Zhang Jing could still understand it. What it said was:

"Back off!"

"Guardian, I don't mean any harm. Maybe your master needs help." Zhang Jing showed a kind smile and tried to communicate with the monster.

"Back, back!!"
