No. 290 News of Potion-291 Insufficiency of Duality (Two in One)
Faced with Charles's answer, Qu Jianlei only said one sentence.
"I have killed all A-level ones, and even more B-level ones... Your level of cultivation is not easy to come by."
After he finished speaking, he flashed and disappeared into the night.
Charles was stunned for a while, almost thinking he had drunk too much that night.
However, the lingering cold air around him reminded him that this was not an illusion.
He couldn't help but mutter in a low voice, "This stinky woman said she only had B-level wood attributes... she almost killed me."
Qu Jianlei was very satisfied with the communication at night. He really did not intend to kill anyone. He felt that Zheng Weifang's model in Zhouzi District was good.
And this Charles also knows how to have high eyebrows and low eyes, and is not the kind of ultimate warrior who is single-minded.
After returning, he explained the communication process and everyone was satisfied with the result.
Next, they rested for another three days, and the three of them hit the road again.
This time we went to Central City just to pass by. The three of them entered the passage quietly without making any noise.
However, when they arrived at the canyon, someone at the door reminded Youyou, "You have delayed the assessment task! Make up for it as soon as possible."
Youyou was also stunned for a moment before she realized that it was the person she was pretending to be taking the test.
"Well," she hummed calmly, "I have a long-term mission at hand now."
The person who reminded me was just responsible for delivering the message. Seeing that she didn't take it seriously, he just said, "Then you can take care of yourself."
After leaving, you quietly asked Xiao Moshan, "Are there any assessment tasks in the canyon?"
"Only for C-level," Xiao Moshan knew more about the canyon than she did.
"Don't take it seriously. If you don't respond for too long after the notification, we will contact you forcefully."
Youyou said nonchalantly, "If the watch is covered, isn't that the end?"
Xiao Moshan shook his head, "It's not that simple. If we can't contact you for a long time, your identity information will be highlighted."
Youyou still disagreed, "In the worst case, I can just change my identity."
Xiao Moshan smiled bitterly upon hearing this, "There are not as many people in the canyon who deserve to be killed as you think."
Anyway, this was a minor episode. The three of them used their substitute identities to stay in a hotel for one night and went shopping the next day.
At night, the three of them quietly left the canyon and headed straight for the base.
The base is only over a hundred kilometers away from the canyon, but there are many checkpoints on the road. Among the people guarding the checkpoints, there are even B-level warriors.
Xiao Moshan and Youyou knew how powerful it was, so they walked cautiously along the way, asking Qu Jianlei to release illusions and ice armor from time to time.
Qu Jianlei had a very poor sense of security to begin with, and after the two of them were tossing around like this, he became even more cautious.
The three of them only walked more than 60 kilometers in one night, and when it was almost dawn, they decided to find a place to hide.
On the second night, they arrived at the woodland full of tall trees.
Only then did Qu Jianlei realize that these trees were not as tall and straight as usual, and their diameter at breast height was not very thick.
The lowest of each tree is seventy or eighty meters high, and the highest is over a hundred meters, reaching straight into the sky.
Just looking at the comparison between height and diameter at breast height, you can tell that the wood quality of these trees is definitely not bad.
What particularly puzzled him was that, for some reason, these trees could affect his mental perception.
So he asked in a low voice, "These tree species...do they have any meaning?"
This forest is not a single species, there are five major species in total, but the tree shapes are all very similar.
"Quiet," Youyou made a silent gesture, released some vines, and then spoke in a low voice, "What did you find?"
After hearing Qu Jianlei's feelings, she was also slightly stunned, "Five kinds of trees... which one can affect your spiritual perception?"
Qu Jianlei felt it carefully before replying in a low voice, "It's... strange. How could it be like this?"
If a certain tree species could affect the mind, he felt that although it was rare, it was not incomprehensible.
After all, the world is huge and full of wonders.
But if you want to say that five different tree species, not only have similar tree shapes, but they can also have an impact on the mind, this is definitely not a coincidence.
Youyou was also quite confused about this, but Xiao Moshan pondered for a while and expressed thoughtfully.
"I seem to have heard that this large forest seems to be created by some means and is not a natural formation."
Qu Jianlei pondered for a while, but finally couldn't help it and uttered two words, "Formation?"
"Huh?" Xiao Moshan and Youyou both turned their heads to look at him, their eyes full of surprise, "You actually know how to pronounce it like this?"
Qu Jianlei was stunned for a moment, then gave a helpless smile, "This... just popped into my head."
Youyou nodded without saying anything, but Xiao Moshan gave a thumbs up.
"I knew this was the case, and I even discussed it with Youyou. You are definitely not a native of Hongzi District."
Qu Jianlei spread his hands and replied helplessly, "I don't know, is there really a formation here?"
"This possibility exists," Xiao Moshan replied seriously, "but the information about the formation is top secret."
But Youyou shook her head and smiled self-deprecatingly, "I'm not even sure about this possibility. His confidentiality level is higher than mine."
Qu Jianlei had lived and died with these two men, and their friendship was not a one-day or two-day relationship, so he didn't want to hide too much.
So he frowned slightly and said, "If there is a formation, it will be a big trouble. You can't go too deep."
"Of course," the other two nodded in unison, obviously knowing this statement.
Youyou even said, "When I escaped a while ago, I could only walk along the road and didn't dare to go deep into the forest."
Xiao Moshan frowned, "If you walk along the road, there will be too many monitoring and alarm devices nearby."
Youyou glanced at him, "There are a lot of devices in the forest. Don't think that there won't be any devices inside if we can't get in."
Xiao Moshan nodded when he heard this, "I know this, but there are more on the roadside."
She looked at him silently and snorted in her heart, "Do you really know?"
However, only the two of them know the similarities and differences between them best.
As for other people...let alone Qu Jianlei, even the people in the canyon don't know the difference between their identities.
No matter how they discussed it, the three of them had already perfected their action plan before they arrived.
They originally planned to follow the main road, and even planned the route, which is currently being strictly implemented.
The three of them moved arduously in the woods about 250 meters away from the road.
At this time, Youyou's wood attribute showed great convenience.
The forest is mainly composed of the five major tree species, but there are also some shrubs and other plants. She can control the vines and shrubs to protect herself.
Qu Jianlei can also do this, although his proficiency is not as good as hers.
But Xiao Moshan is more miserable. The wind attribute is also better at concealing himself, but he can't compare with those two.
Fortunately, Youyou and Qu Jianlei had always taken good care of him, and nothing happened.
It's just that the speed of travel slows down, which is inevitable.
During this process, Qu Jianlei also used his mental attributes to sense his surroundings from time to time.
Because the trees had some interference with his spirit, he was afraid that the other party might still have the means to sense spiritual power, so he was very careful when testing.
However, Youyou and Xiao Moshan both supported his idea, and they both agreed that no matter how cautious you were at this time, you couldn't be too cautious.
As a result, the three people moved very slowly in the woods.
Facts have proved that caution is a good habit. Qu Jianlei discovered no less than fifty secret monitoring or alarm devices along the way.
The three of them walked through the woods for more than ten kilometers for three full days, but there was basically no activity during the day, and they were mainly active at night.
In fact, after walking for more than ten kilometers, I still didn't get out of the woods - a river appeared in front of me.
The river is not very wide, but there are some tidal flats, which add up to a total width of almost 100 meters.
The river bank is densely covered with surveillance cameras. In Youyou's words, the river was dug manually to prevent people from sneaking in.
If you follow the main road, there will be a bridge, but how can the three of you dare to walk on the bridge?
They also had several plans for how to cross the river, and the best plan was to wait for a rain.
Since there are no warriors with water attributes, Qu Jianlei, who has no attributes, can only sense it.
He said that the humidity in the air today is very high and there is a high possibility of rain, so it would be better to wait.
By noon, it started to rain. It wasn't heavy, but it wasn't light either.
After the rainfall remained at a stable level, Qu Jianlei raised his hand and said, "Rain~"
In normal times, when water elements are mobilized, abnormalities can easily be detected by certain instruments, but it doesn't matter on rainy days.
In the same rain, it rains heavily in some places and lightly in other places. Isn't this normal?
"There's no lightning," Qu Jianlei muttered, "but it seems there's no need to damage some electronic equipment."
Xiao Moshan looked at him and said, "Are you planning to...cross the river during the day?"
"During the day," Qu Jianlei nodded, "When it rains heavily, we can also cover the camera..."
"As for those sensor alarms, we just have to be careful."
They had discussed the way to cross the river before, but the current situation... they could only count on Qu Jianlei.
Youyou can condense vines to carry everyone across the river, but the fluctuation of the wood attribute may trigger an alarm.
Qu Jianlei directly formed a large piece of ice, and the three of them stepped on the ice and slid towards the beach.
The ice attribute is different from the water attribute, but I can't care about it so much at this time. I can only hope that the other party doesn't value it very much.
After the ice cubes formed, Qu Jianlei focused all his attention on rainfall.
In this area, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, as if someone was holding a basin of water and pouring it down.
The ice cube quickly slipped into the river. Xiao Moshan put his hand on the river and spit out wind waves one after another.
At this time, Youyou could only stare. It was understandable that there would be wind when it rained, but it would be strange to have wood property fluctuations.
Xiao Moshan's wind output was quite effective. After four or five minutes, the ice reached the beach at the other end.
