In the following time, everyone thoroughly saw the horror of the Forest of Steel.
Just like its name, this passage is a secret forest made entirely of steel. There are countless dangers hidden in invisible corners, such as creeping walls, sharp metal nets, and bronze arms protruding from the ground...
In just less than a kilometer's journey, everyone was covered in paint, even Zhang Meng had some scars on his face.
...Only the man in front is still unscathed.
"ah!"
Suddenly, a shrill scream sounded in the passage. Bai Mo turned his head slightly and saw a man suddenly falling into the flowing metal ground on the road he had just walked. His legs were stuck in it and he was completely unable to move. .
"Save me! Save me!"
The thin man kept struggling in the metal quagmire, but the consequence of this was that it became more difficult to escape. As he struggled, the metal quagmire gradually solidified, like a pair of iron hands that continued to increase in strength, squeezing his body fiercely. Legs.
"ah!"
The man let out an even more miserable scream. Under such a huge force, his leg bones seemed to be crushed inch by inch. The body of a C-level transcendent could withstand most bullets, but it was still difficult to bear such pain. .
"Relax your body and pass your hand to me!"
At this moment, Zhang Meng's face was as dark as water, and he suddenly grabbed the thin man's hand with force.
"Pull me up! No, no, no... don't use so much force! My legs are going to be torn off!" the man screamed.
Seeing the thin man's posture, the short-haired woman on the side couldn't help but worry: "Is there a way to cut the ground?"
"Cut it open...where do you think this is?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the charming woman behind her sneered, "This is the Forest of Steel. Many metals are hard to see today, and the hardness is beyond imagination. What can we use to cut it open?"
"What should we do?"
"In my opinion, just saw off this guy's legs." The charming woman thought for a moment and chuckled.
"You bitch, are you kidding me!"
The thin man in the metal quagmire obviously heard her words, and suddenly let out a roar and glared at the charming woman fiercely.
"If you want to die like this, just pretend I didn't say it." The charming woman shook her head.
And as if to confirm her words, the man's body suddenly sank a little, and almost half of his lower body was submerged in the ground, as if he wanted to completely merge with the ground.
"Don't... don't!"
The skinny man's expression changed drastically. He kept looking at everyone and said in a pleading tone: "Save me, please save me!"
Zhang Meng's expression changed slightly, he took out a tactical dagger from his waist, suddenly exerted force, and tentatively thrust it into the ground where the man was submerged.
However, instead of cutting the ground with this blow, the entire dagger melted instantly, and all the metal parts quickly merged into the ground like water droplets flowing into a river.
A cold wind blew through the passage.
"ah!"
The thin man suddenly screamed, his face became extremely distorted due to pain, and bright red blood spurted out, and then was absorbed by the ground.
Everyone's expressions changed, and they saw two neat huge wounds suddenly appeared on the man's legs, as if they had been cut by a sharp instrument, revealing the stark white bones.
"What's going on?"
The short-haired woman was startled by this scene, took a few steps back, and asked with a horrified look on her face.
"I don't know, it feels like someone cut my leg with a knife - please, get me out! For the sake of our relationship!"
The thin man had tears in his eyes, his eyes full of despair.
"Oh? Do you mean a sexual relationship?" The charming woman smiled disdainfully, with no intention of rescuing her.
Zhang Mengran turned around, glared at her coldly, then looked at the thin man, and said with a serious face: "For now, we can only use Li Youji's method to saw off your legs."
"No, absolutely not, I will become a useless person!" The skinny man's face changed drastically, and he shook his head crazily, "Please, think of a new way!"
"Yeah……"
The charming woman - Li Youji in Zhang Meng's mouth said with a half-smile, "If we drag it on any longer, I'm afraid your entire lower body will be submerged into the ground, and by then you will no longer be a useless person, but a complete dead person."
."
Her eyes were cold.
"Can……"
The thin man had tears in his eyes and wanted to say something else. However, Zhang Meng did not give him another chance. At some point, he took out a military dagger again and swung it with lightning speed.
Everyone felt a cold light flash before their eyes, but Zhang Meng did not move. The next second, they saw the thin man's legs and body completely separated, and blood flowed all over the floor. They were suddenly shocked.
Perhaps it was because the knife was so fast that the pain was delayed for a few seconds. It was not until three seconds passed that the thin man let out a scream of extremely painful pain.
"ah--"
"Pull him out, help him stop the bleeding, and...stop his mouth."
Zhang Meng frowned and gave the order as if he couldn't hear the man's scream.
The man and two women behind him did not dare to say anything and quickly did as they were told.
Only Li Youji remained indifferent, silently looking ahead, and happened to be looking at Bai Mo who was paying attention to them not far away.
As she watched, she suddenly smiled seductively, but Bai Mo, who was opposite him, obviously didn't like this, and turned his head expressionlessly and continued to move forward.
"This guy..."
Zhang Meng looked at Li Youji and said solemnly, "We clearly followed his route of action. Why was it that he was fine when he walked this road, but we happened to be in danger?"
"Who knows, maybe we have bad luck."
Li Youji looked at Bai Mo's back and chuckled, "Anyway, we have to be more cautious in the future - the Forest of Steel doesn't seem to be as scary as I thought. As long as we follow the man in front closely, maybe we really have a chance."
Opportunity to get out of here.”
"But our mission is to prevent him from leaving here. Once he succeeds, we won't be able to get out alive."
"Of course I know that."
Li Youji smiled softly, but had no intention of explaining. He walked forward and said, "Take that useless man with you...but don't let him die."
Zhang Meng took a deep look at her and quickly followed her. The man and two women behind him looked at each other and quickly followed with the thin man who only had half life left.
No one noticed that behind them, the two broken legs sunk into the ground slowly sank, and disappeared without a trace soon after. The ground quickly returned to normal, glowing with the unique cold light of metal, without any trace of it.
Metal swamp feel.
…
Ta, da, da.
Following the sound of footsteps, a figure walked from the passage.
"Sure enough, this place is also the masterpiece of those guys..."
After a series of previous tests, Bai Mo quickly confirmed his suspicion——
The so-called Forest of Steel is not a creation of Boundless City, but the work of a group of crazy people from a long time ago. In other words, the Forest of Steel is actually the researcher Bai Mo saw in the passage through the art of eating outside.
A creation of its time.
According to his understanding, the creations of these guys often have an obvious characteristic - that is, they leave no room for anything.
They will never leave anything similar to a "back door", and even the makers themselves will not get any convenience from their research results. As long as they are used for killing, there will never be any chance of them keeping their hands.
The same is true for trials. There is absolutely no possibility of letting anyone off because of differences between individuals.
These creations are an extension of their cold will. They only exist to obtain specific results. They are highly rational and emotionless like machines, and will only execute according to pre-designed programs.
——The Forest of Steel is undoubtedly such an existence.
but……
Although those crazy guys would not deliberately leave some backdoors for Bai Mo, a certain guy would definitely do this, and it was precisely because he was aware of this that Bai Mo had a clear understanding of his situation.
I am also becoming more and more curious about the Forest of Steel.
"This passage..."
While he was thinking, a sound suddenly came from behind Bai Mo, and he saw the three couples from before quickly following him. The one walking in the front was a charming woman with heavy makeup.
"I said, that handsome guy in front of you, do you want to cooperate?" Li Youji shouted loudly.
