Chapter 12 Taboos in Restricted Areas

 Faced with the provocation of Xueying, Luan Ya's eyes were filled with murderous intent and he looked at Lei Dui.

Lei Dui looked normal and spoke calmly.

"Cross."

After hearing this, Shizi picked up the bow without saying a word, drew it in an instant and shot an arrow into the sky.

The speed was so fast that it set off a sharp whistling sound, and its arrow was like a bolt of lightning, instantly piercing the eagle hovering in the sky.

Blood flowers bloomed in the sky, and the eagle let out a shrill scream, fell down, and landed on the ground between the two teams with a thud.

At the same time, a member of the Blood Shadow Team shook violently all over, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and his face turned pale for an instant.

That was his eagle. Unlike the dog Luan Ya raised, this eagle was controlled by his own spiritual energy. At this moment, his whole body was severely injured under the backlash.

The rest of the Blood Shadow Team were filled with murderous intent, but were stopped by Captain Blood Shadow. He slowly stood up from the dog corpse, not looking at Luan Ya, but staring at Team Lei.

Team Lei also looked at him coldly.

The two looked at each other for a long time, each snorting coldly.

"Let's go." Lei Dui said calmly and walked forward, followed by Luan Ya and others, including Xu Qing.

He felt the deep hostility between the two teams, so he turned back and glanced at the people in the Blood Shadow team, and saw that they were waiting for Ma Si and Pang Shan. Unfortunately, these two would never show up.

Xu Qing remained silent, withdrew his gaze, and gradually left the camp with Lei Dui and others.

The restricted area seems to be not far from the camp, but in fact it is still quite a distance on foot.

The group of them walked for about half an hour before they saw the dark forest in the distance.

From the outside, this forbidden jungle is boundless and spreads to an unknown extent.

It's three o'clock in the morning, and the sunshine is strong, but inside the restricted jungle, it seems like there are two different worlds from the outside.

From a distance, you can see that there seems to be a storm gathering in the sky at the end of the jungle, with streaks of lightning visible to the naked eye dazzling in and out, giving the entire restricted area a mysterious and dangerous feeling.

Xu Qing watched all this and followed silently. No one in the Thunder team said anything on the road, but as they got closer and closer to the penalty area, Xu Qing keenly noticed that everyone's muscles began to tighten gradually, and so did he.

Until the feeling as if he had stepped into a cold world appeared throughout Xu Qing's body, as all the warmth in his body was instantly removed, he entered the restricted area.

It seemed that all the scenes he saw in the normal world were also eliminated.

The familiar biting coldness awakened his memories of being in the ruined city in the rain of blood.

So he took a deep breath, the vigilance in his heart was strong, and he instinctively grasped the iron sign tightly in his hand, just like when he was in the ruins.

The difference is that the city is in ruins, but here...

The trees are twisted like the shadows of evil spirits, the muddy ground is as rotten as the soil of the underworld, and the branches and leaves are spread like claws covering the sky.

But the people in the Thunder Team are obviously very familiar with this place.

They carried weapons on their backs, and the path they took was obviously a well-traveled one. Every step was very detailed. Some places were obviously normal, but they skipped them. Some places seemed dangerous, but they walked on.

There were other areas that were bypassed for no reason. In this way, some dangers were avoided along the way.

Xu Qing followed behind, paying close attention and remembering everything.

But he also discovered something strange. Not all the journeys were led by the Thunder Team. Sometimes it was the Barbarian Ghosts, and sometimes it was the Luan Ya, alternating with each other.

Although everyone was not moving very fast, apart from hearing the roars of some ferocious beasts in the distance, it was still relatively safe.

Even if there were some poisonous insects, they did not come close after Luan Ya lit an incense stick.

After walking for about an hour without saying a word, they stopped next to a muddy area and breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Qing noticed that Luan Ya took out some medicinal powder and sprinkled it in the mud. Soon a group of poisonous insects came out of it, seemingly aggressive, but her expression remained as usual. She took out another powder and scattered it with her hand. The poisonous insects became restless and quickly dispersed.

, the mud calmed down.

After doing this, everyone squatted down, skillfully scooped up the mud and smeared it all over their bodies.

"Do you remember the details on the road?" Lei Dui painted his whole body and motioned Xu Qing to do the same.

Xu Qing nodded, without hesitation, he picked up the mud and started to apply it. At the same time, he glanced at Luan Ya, and he felt that the other party seemed to know some poison techniques.

"Skip over the avoided areas because the leaves are severely withered but intact. This means that no ferocious beasts have passed by and the existence is unknown."

"The area where you step directly is because there is feces of ferocious animals on the ground, and biological instinct is to choose a safe area to excrete, so it means there is no excessive danger or cannibalistic quagmire."

"As for the scope of the detour, it is because of the wild ghost's nose. His nose is sensitive and can smell the smell of dangerous beasts. You will learn a lot along the way. Memorize as many as you can."

When Xu Qing heard this, he glanced at Mangui, who also turned his head and grinned at Xu Qing.

"As for this silt, it is a place where our team found skin lesions of night lizards many years ago. Applying it all over the body will not only cover our aura, but also provide a certain deterrent."

"Going forward is where we are going, and heading north, there is the Poison Dragon Pond. The restricted jungle has been divided into several areas by scavengers spontaneously due to different landforms."

"Poison Dragon Pond is one of them, but we won't go there this time." Lei Dui had already finished speaking.

Xu Qing had finished at this moment. When he stood up, Cross passed by him. Although he questioned Xu Qing's following yesterday, he still said it with a cold face.

"Pay attention to your alienation points. There is a lot of alienation in the restricted area. You must always pay attention. Once the alienation exceeds the standard, no one can save it."

Xu Qing nodded, already aware of this.

He could feel that the concentration of heterogeneity in this restricted area was extremely high, but it was much weaker than when the ruins of the city were at their peak.

It's just that he has accumulated a lot of heterogeneity in himself now, so even if he is not practicing at this moment, just breathing, the alienation points on his arms are starting to tingle faintly.

So he took out a piece of white pill and put it in his mouth. Instead of swallowing it, he held it in his mouth and let it melt slowly.

Soon, everyone had finished applying, looked at each other, and moved on.

But it was a little different from the previous journey. On the next road, their speed was slower, and everyone took out weapons in their hands.

Xu Qing swept their weapons.

The barbarian ghost is a steel shield and mace, the Lei team is a gauntlet, the cross is a long bow, and Luan Ya takes out a serrated dagger with a cold light on it.

A few days ago, Xu Qing went out to keep an eye on Pang Shan, and he also gained something else.

Because of his keen hearing, he heard a lot of conversations among the scavengers and learned a lot of information that he never knew before.

For example, weapons, he now knows, are divided into magic weapons, talismans and heavy treasures.

Among them, the magic weapon is a legendary item and quite rare.

It is rumored that each magic weapon has different levels of heterogeneous pollution, which will increase with use and is extremely difficult to remove. Therefore, it is basically a non-renewable resource. In addition, it is extremely powerful, so it is naturally extremely precious.

Thus, a special type of being called treasure raisers was born. They were often raised in captivity from children and used their bodies to dilute the alien nature of the treasure.

This was also said by the Lei team at the beginning.

In addition to magic weapons, there are also talismans and heavy treasures.

Although the former talisman is also rare, compared to the magic weapon, it is still a luxury. As for the latter's heavy treasure, it is common.

They are often made of special materials and are weapons that ordinary people can use.

Xu Qing felt that his iron sign might be a valuable treasure, and the ones in the hands of the people in front of him were obviously of this type.

Time passed slowly, Xu Qing followed the Thunder team and gradually moved further and further into the restricted area.

We also encountered some minor troubles along the way, but most of them were dealt with by Barbarian Ghost alone.

Occasionally, when encountering a stronger beast, the crossbow will shoot out.

As for Luanya's attacks, they are mainly based on magic. She seems to be able to perform some kind of shock, causing the incoming ferocious beasts to freeze, which is very inflexible.

During this period, Xu Qing also took action once, grabbing a poisonous snake that was shooting from behind and crushing it directly.

After dealing with this and finding that Xu Qing could follow him from beginning to end without making any novice mistakes, he looked at Xu Qing cross-eyed, less scrutinizing, and imparted some experience to him.

"Kid, this restricted area may seem dangerous, but for those of us who crawl around here, as long as we don't encounter three situations, it's basically safe."

"You have to keep these three situations in mind."

"The first is when strange beasts from deep inside the restricted area come to the outer area. This situation is not very common, and the range of our activities is actually just outside the restricted area."

"But once we encounter it, it is extremely dangerous, because we only know the habits and abilities of the alien beasts outside, and the restricted area is too big. There are many kinds of alien beasts inside, and their abilities are also varied. If you are not careful, you will die."

"The second one is singing." At this point, Crossface showed fear.

"There is a saying circulating in the restricted area here. It is said that singing will appear here, and only one person will hear the singing. It's just that I have never heard singing. Among us, only Lei Dui has heard singing.

.”

Xu Qing looked at Team Lei.

Team Lei didn't speak, but looked up at the depths of the penalty area, with a hint of complexity in his eyes.

"Let me tell you the third one." Luan Ya smiled and glanced at Xu Qing.

"Child, the third danger here is very common, and that is the fog."

"Once the fog comes out, it's like a person becomes blind, and he will definitely get lost, and the fog usually lasts for a long time. Once you lose your way here, you can't get out in time, and you are trapped in the restricted area. As the heterogeneity corrodes, your own heterogeneity will naturally gradually increase.

, and this often represents the coming of death.

"But there are two ways to resolve it, one is fire, and the other is those who are born or cultivated and have strong mental power."

"The former treats the symptoms but not the root cause. Although fire can disperse the fog in a small area and restore vision, the fog is strange and the fire cannot last forever. As for the latter, one and a half people can often appear in the camp in decades. Most of these people are very

Leave as soon as possible, there will be better development."

"There is a fourth danger, which is encountering a malicious ambush by the enemy." The barbarian ghost who was leading the way said dully.

Luan Ya on the side was about to speak, but at this moment, looking at the Thunder Team in the distance of the penalty area, his expression suddenly changed and he let out a low drink.

"Shut up!"

The next moment, the crossbow opened, a faint light appeared in Luan Ya's eyes, the body of the wild ghost swelled, Xu Qing's hair stood up instantly, and a strong threat suddenly came from the dark jungle far away from them.

Soon, rays of light appeared in the darkness, and they were pairs of eyes, with indifference and coldness, staring at everyone.

There are many eyes.

And as these eyes appeared, giant wolves with black scales all over their bodies and bodies as big as buffalo slowly walked out.

Looking at it, there are at least dozens of them, and even faintly in the distance, it seems that there are more, probably no less than hundreds.

The spiritual energy fluctuations emitted by each wolf reached about the second level, causing the wild ghosts and others to change their expressions.

"Black Scale Wolves!"

"They generally only live at the junction of the deep part of the restricted area and the outer perimeter. They are not in this area, so how could they come here!"

The cross pupils shrank, and Luan Ya on the side also looked a little pale.

In fact, they knew very well that although a single black-scaled wolf was nothing, in such numbers, it would be a severe test for them.

The most important thing is that the restricted area is rich in heterogeneity. Once the loss of spiritual energy in the body is too large, it can only absorb the supplement of external spiritual energy. After the battle, there will be no time to separate the heterogeneity. In this case, the heterogeneity in the body will accumulate extremely quickly and become alienated.

The risk increases infinitely.

Xu Qing's breathing was also slightly rapid, and the pressure from the wolves was extremely strong.

"You retreat first, I will stop them."

While everyone was shocked, Captain Lei spoke in a deep voice and walked out slowly.

A wave of psychic energy that was at least twice as strong as the cross's, erupted from Lei Team's body as they moved forward.

The wolves also stopped and stared at Team Lei.
