Chapter 228 227 Extraordinary Creatures

In the silent forest, Chen Jue once again passed by the lake where he scooped water yesterday. This was the farthest point detected yesterday.

After observing the nearby environment, there were indeed only traces of the place he passed by yesterday. Except for the earth pit that was cracked by his stamp, there were no signs of life in the rest of the place.

He scooped up some water from a water cup and tested the water quality again. The result was the same as yesterday. Chen Jue drank a few cups confidently and replenished the water needed by the human body. He also used a folding engineer shovel to dig a hole by the lake and put his backpack in it.

He went in and pulled some leaves to cover it.

For the rest of the journey, Chen definitely did not intend to carry this obstructive backpack with him. Instead, he traveled lightly, wearing an aerial combat uniform, carrying a Tang knife on his back, and carrying eight telescopic javelins for self-defense.

…

After bypassing the small lake more than two hundred meters wide, Chen Jue went straight to the edge of the forest where there was a golden light curtain in the eyes of [Xuanmen Qi Watching Technique].

With his current agility attribute of over 5, if he wants to cover a distance of 100 kilometers quickly, he can sprint the entire distance in less than half an hour.

But Chen Jue basically relied on walking fast if he wanted to conserve his energy.

Thanks to the status bonus of [Divinity Taibao], the undulating terrain in the forest is like walking on flat ground to him. Moreover, the crown of this alien tree is wide, and the distance between each tree is more than ten meters, unlike the ones he has been to before.

In the old forest of Gongshan, the path is narrow and there are many bushes.

But the closer he got to the invisible light curtain, the quieter Chen Jue became. In a state of [harmony between man and nature], he radiated his body's magnetic field and coexisted harmoniously with the surrounding vegetation.

He heard a series of rustling sounds behind the invisible light curtain a hundred meters away. They were the sounds of animals and insects in the forest.

"Finally there is the breath of life!" Chen Determined sighed secretly. The bonus of [Shunfeng Ear] allowed him to hear the wind and grass within a few hundred meters, especially since the forest was so quiet.

Those extremely weak sounds, against the backdrop of this silent environment, became extremely harsh to his ears.

Slowing down his pace, he came to the edge of the invisible light curtain. Chen Jue used [Xuanmen Qi Watching Technique] to take a closer look and found that the golden light curtain rising from the ground was like a circle of dividing lines.

generally.

On the inner side, there are only signs of survival of vegetation, and across the other side, there are only traces of life activities and breath remaining.

"Is it a formation?"

"Or is it a natural formation?" Chen Jue knelt down and took a look. He dug away the soil with his hands and found that there were obvious differences in the soil and rocks on both sides.

Although the rocks on the other side also have subtle dark gold lines, they are not as rich as this one. It is like the gold content of the gold ore has dropped off a cliff.

After carefully crossing the invisible light curtain and reaching the other side, Chen Jue took a deep breath and found that even the concentration of innate energy in the air had dropped.

"Such an obvious dividing line...is it caused by the mountain that looks like a jianmu?" Chen Jue secretly guessed and looked up at the new environment in front of him with [clairvoyance].

It is also a forest composed of tall trees, but the growth of these trees is much worse than those within a hundred kilometers behind.

In addition to signs of insects and animal gnawing, as well as traces of moist moss on the ground, Chen Jue also saw burnt black spots on several trees, as well as holes as thick as a bowl's mouth.

Several large trees were also broken in the middle, but the broken parts were covered with mushrooms, moss and traces of weed growth, so it seemed that they were not caused recently.

"Striked by lightning? Or was it caused by something else?" Chen Jue looked at these broken trees and thought in his mind.

After slowly walking forward for more than three hundred meters, Chen Jue discovered the first living creature on this strange planet.

They were a group of palm-sized insects with three-segmented bodies, covered with black and red carapaces, two tentacles at the top, six slender legs covered with spikes and hairs, and a long, sharp, serrated jaw at the mouth.

, looks very similar to ants on Earth, but its size is even smaller than that of the largest bull ant on Earth!

Moreover, the aura emanating from the swarm of ants made Chen Jue feel excited, giving him a faint sense of threat.

Especially the number of them, one after another, constantly crawling in and out of the nest exits that spread from the trunk to the bottom of the tree roots, dragging along the fragments of the corpse of some kind of animal and the fragments of wild fruits.

Seeing this scene, Chen Jue concentrated and held his breath, gathering his thoughts.

After initially sensing the entrance of the nest with his heavenly senses, Chen Jue found that the ant nest buried deep in the ground was like a huge underground city, spreading to the invisible barrier not far behind him.

And in the deepest part of the nest, there was an ant that responded to him with a wave of mental magnetic field that was filled with doubts, vigilance, and vigilance!

This wave of feedback from the spiritual magnetic field caused Chen Jue to conjure up an image of a giant ant queen that was as white as jade and nearly half a meter long.

The next second, the giant ants that were carrying food were seen swinging their tentacles one by one, twisting their bodies, and sending out a burst of low-frequency insect sounds "hissing, hissing" towards Chen Jue.

Apparently, they were reminded by the queen ant underground and warned Chen Jue, a strange species that had intruded into their territory!

"I'm in a big trough!"

"Ant has become a spirit?"

"Wait...it can mobilize the mental magnetic field...this queen ant should be considered an extraordinary life form?" Chen Jue's eyes showed a bit of solemnity, and he hurriedly conveyed his goodwill emotions to the owner of the mental magnetic field fluctuations.

Immediately afterwards, another wave of psychic magnetic field fluctuations emanated from the ground, and the alert giant ants calmed down a little and continued their carrying work.

Seeing this forbidden scene, Chen Jue couldn't help but swallowed his saliva, as if facing an army, and said: "Sorry! Sorry to disturb you!"

Then he moved his steps to avoid the entrance of the ant nest and headed further into the forest.

After walking several kilometers away, the giant ants became less and less visible, and the fluctuations in the mental magnetic field of the underground queen ant began to dissipate. Chen Jue knew that he should have walked out of their territory.

"call!"

"Fortunately, these giant ants are considered neutral creatures and did not attack me."

"If such a big ant is bitten..." Chen Jue secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking about it, he felt that his scalp was in trouble, and he cautiously looked back at the invisible golden light curtain.

He felt that the invisible light curtain composed of geomagnetism not only separated the innate energy concentration inside and outside the forest, but also isolated the danger from the light curtain. It was definitely caused by some special reason, otherwise that huge

Ants will not build their nests around this light curtain underground.

"Is it possible that the fact that other creatures dare not approach the light curtain is also related to the existence of these giant ants?" Chen Jue had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he looked at the sky covered by the big trees and felt that he should not be there.

It's as simple as you think.

…

After passing the giant ant's territory, Chen Jue became even more cautious in his next steps.

[Clear Eyes] and [Shunfeng Ears] were fully activated, constantly observing the changes in the nearby environment. After walking forward for almost five kilometers, I came to a river about ten meters wide and four or five meters deep.

The current in the river is a bit turbulent, and there are large pebbles at the bottom. Although the water is clear, you can see life in the water such as moss and floating objects. Occasionally, there are a few strange fish with slender bodies and green-silver scales swimming at the bottom of the river.

Pass.

The reason why they are called strange fish is because these fish are about as long as an elbow, with two tendrils growing from their mouths, and the fins on their abdomen are wide and slender, longer than the entire body of the fish, as if they have two wings hanging on their sides.

, just by swinging, the body flies away under the water as fast as an arrow. It stirs up water waves, which will disturb the current and cause splashes on the river surface.

Chen Jue visually measured the swimming speed of these strange fish, and it was definitely above 40 meters per second. This speed has exceeded the swordfish, the fastest swimming species known on earth.

Moreover, the river was obviously not deep. Seeing fish swimming so fast in such a small river, Chen Jue felt that his eyes were almost exhausted.

"Gan! Yesterday, we talked about Lang Yilang, giant ants, and strange fish... Could it be that the creatures on this strange planet were affected by the innate energy and evolved more thoroughly than the creatures on earth?" Such thoughts

flashed through my mind.

Chen Jue stood by the river and stared at the strange fish swimming quickly at the bottom of the river. Their fins were not only powerful, but also had colorful scales, which shone under the sunlight.

feel.

As I was watching, there was a buzzing sound in my ears, as if something was flying over from the upper reaches of the river.

When I looked up following the sound, I saw a huge moth flapping its wings, chasing the light of scales on the fins of those strange fish under the river, flying closer.

But before the white moth as big as a basin could get close to the water, a strange fish underneath suddenly flapped its wings, jumped out of the water like a flying fish on Earth, and bit the moth.

The white moth flapped its wings and suddenly flew several meters away, avoiding the attack of the strange fish.

Just when Chen Jue's trapping process, which is similar to the law of the jungle in nature, ended due to the escape of the moth, another larger monster fish jumped out of the water from behind, and its fins as wide as wings flapped violently, actually taking it with it.

It soared five to six meters in the air.

While closing the distance to the white moth, the strange fish rising into the air bulged and pressed its belly, opened its mouth and sprayed, and a stream of water rays like a high-pressure water gun directly penetrated the wings of the white moth.

, countless wing feathers stained the water and flew all over the sky, while the white moth lost its ability to fly and fell directly to the river.

Immediately afterwards, several strange fish were seen jumping out of the water and eating the moths. The team worked together in perfect harmony.

But just as one of the strange fish was about to fall into the river, a whooshing sound pierced the air, and a long, sharp black shadow shot out from the edge of the river, directly passing through the strange fish and carrying its body with it.

He directly nailed it to a big tree on the other side with a bang.

Seeing this scene, Chen Jue, who had just shot the javelin, showed a slightly satisfied smile, jumped up, and flew across the river.

And those strange fish that were waiting at the bottom of the river to hunt for white moths were now frightened by the inexplicable death of their kind, and disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye.

Chen Jue jumped across the river and walked step by step to the strange fish. He looked at the bright red blood seeping out of its wounds, lowered his head and smelled the smell of the fish, and said with a strange look on his face: "Freshwater"

Fish has a faint fishy smell, and its blood also contains hemoglobin. It seems to be a carbon-based life form, but it has a different evolutionary direction from fish on Earth."

"The attack just now where the high-pressure water gun was spit out from the mouth should have strengthened the body structure of spitting water."

"I really miss my time on Earth. If I take a photo and send it to the fishing community, the anglers will definitely identify what kind of fish it belongs to." Chen Jue reached out and pulled out the javelin, and then weighed the weight of the dead fish.

It was about 30 pounds. I reached out and touched the fins and body of the fish, and there was a smooth and soft feeling.

"Why don't you try baking it?"

"They are all fish anyway, they should be edible, right?" Chen Jue felt that the texture of the meat of this strange fish should be very good. After all, it exercises regularly and absorbs the innate energy of this strange planet. The protein content may be at

Above 5A wagyu.

But not long after this idea came up, another sound similar to the flapping of wings came from the forest at this end of the river.
