If you just look inside the city, it is no different from the urban environment where Chu Lingjun lived in his previous life. There are various high-rise buildings lined up in rows, and it is as prosperous as a brocade.
But once you step out of the city, you feel like you are in a primeval forest.
The dense and tall trees stand like tall buildings, so densely packed that they block out the sky and the sun, and there is no end in sight.
Green is the main theme here.
Inside the city is the human world.
Outside the city, there is a world where other animals and plants grow wildly.
The plants were also affected by the revival of spiritual energy, and they became tall and majestic.
Wuling Hongguang slowly drove out of the city along the path opened in the forest. Chu Lingjun opened the car window slightly, and the salty sea breeze rushed towards him, which was the smell of the sea.
In this parallel world, due to the melting of the North and South Polar glaciers, the global sea level has risen by 66 meters, and the economically prosperous coastal cities in the east and south of the Dragon Kingdom have almost been submerged.
Rongcheng is located in Guangdong Province in the southern part of the Dragon Kingdom. All the prosperous cities that Chu Lingjun was familiar with in the previous life are gone.
Yangcheng, Port City, Buddha City, Casino City, Zen City...the only surviving city on the water in the Pearl River Delta today is Pengcheng, which lies on a higher ground.
But despite this, no one dared to live in Pengcheng because the land around it was flooded and it was completely reduced to an isolated island in the sea.
The coastline of Guangdong Province has moved to the northwest, and a large number of cities have moved to the Lingnan hilly areas, where the altitude is nearly 200 meters and there is no fear of flooding.
But despite this, the spirit of the Dragon Kingdom and the people around the world is still tense.
Because according to the detections over the years, the global sea level is still rising slowly. It is like a greedy giant beast, swallowing up the land bit by bit!
This makes people across the country and governments of all countries extremely frightened and anxious, because according to scientists’ detection, the melting of all the ice and snow in the Arctic will cause the sea level to rise by 6 meters, and the Antarctic ice sheet will cause the sea level to rise by 60 meters. If both melt together, it will be
66 meters.
However, now that the ice at the North and South Poles has melted, why will sea levels continue to rise?
Where did this extra water come from?
There is a big secret hidden in the deserted sea!
Fortunately, the rate of sea level rise is relatively slow, about one meter per year, and countries still have time to think about countermeasures.
…
Three hours later, everyone successfully arrived at the Blood Forest, and the journey was uneventful.
Chu Lingjun got out of the car and saw a large blood-red forest standing on the black coastline covered with mud.
These woods are very strange. They grow right at the junction of land and sea water, like a bright dividing line.
When the tide is high, the branches of these red trees are almost submerged.
When the tide goes out, they are densely developed, and the strong and knotted roots are completely exposed, and the roots are intertwined in the mud, intertwining into tree root spaces, which looks very strange.
Yes, the Blood Forest is the mangrove forest in Chu Lingjun's previous life, which evolved after absorbing spiritual power.
Their bodies have become bigger and stronger. Although they are still "wave-reducing pioneers" and "coast guards", the tree body has turned into a blood-red color!
Chu Lingjun stared at the red forest in front of him with narrowed eyes, and his heart skipped a beat. It is said that in some large-scale blood forests, some individuals mutated due to absorbing too much spiritual power and evolved special abilities!
They are no longer satisfied with photosynthesis and will hunt for meat, just like the Venus flytraps and pitcher plants in the previous life, which are very dangerous!
Immediately, Chu Lingjun looked at the almost endless red forest in front of him, and the spiritual power in his body was running even more fiercely. He said in a deep voice: "We are hunting on the coastline. The environment in the Blood Forest is complicated and it is easy to encounter an ambush!"
As soon as Chu Lingjun finished speaking, Guan Buyu echoed: "I agree with Chu Lingjun's opinion."
She looked at the red forest in front of her, which almost reflected half of the sky. She was also a little scared inside. She felt as if she had arrived on a foreign planet. She hid behind Zhao Hao in fear, grabbing his arm in fear.
said.
Zhao Hao touched his girlfriend's head and comforted him: "Well, we are only sea masters in the enlightenment realm, and we are not suitable for fighting in the water."
"And the requirements for the autumn assessment are very simple. As long as each of us turns in three wild sea beasts, we don't need to go to the Blood Forest."
"That's good." Guan Buyu stuck out his tongue to his boyfriend.
There are three materials needed to advance, one of which is [Red Yang Blood Mushroom], which is a spiritual plant unique to the Blood Forest. Chu Lingjun stared at the Blood Forest in front of him and thought to himself.
But there’s no rush this time, just look for it if you can find it, don’t just wait for the next time, the next time, or the next time… and the next time!
The main thing today is to come here and get familiar with the environment. Chu Lingjun has always been very patient.
"Wow..."
Waves of waves crashed loudly from a distance, but as soon as they approached the shore, they were immediately and silently eliminated by the Blood Forest.
It was during the high tide at this time, and a large amount of the Blood Forest was submerged, leaving only the crimson crown. At first glance, it looked like gorgeous red flowers blooming on the blue sea, which was poetic and picturesque.
The Blood Forest looks peaceful and peaceful on the surface, but there are countless dangers lurking beneath the water!
The Blood Forest, like the mangroves of the previous life, is a breeding paradise for a large number of animals and plants. It is home to countless sea beasts, such as giant-eyed water rats, mud-armored crabs, rock lizards, fishing cats, etc.
"Help...help, help..."
Just as the eight people were looking at the black beach, a figure suddenly emerged from the water under the mangrove tree not far away, screaming in fear, startling everyone!
The figure who suddenly emerged was covered in blood and his flesh and blood were blurred.
His upper body emerged from the water, but his lower body seemed to be entangled with something. The figure struggled wildly but could not get rid of it, and water splashed everywhere.
What made the eight people nervous the most was that this person was wearing the uniform of Rongcheng University!
"He's from our school, let's go rescue him quickly!" Qi Ya was shocked and said quickly.
"I'm an assassin, I'm fast, I'll go!" Duan Feng heard this and rushed out without saying a word. With so many beautiful girls here today, he couldn't help but want to show off!
Although Zhao Hao, Wang Xiaomi and others felt that the incident happened suddenly, they also felt that it was important to rescue people first...
"return!"
At this moment, a loud shout suddenly rang in everyone's ears!
Duan Feng, who had already rushed into the sea, was suddenly pulled back!
It's Chu Lingjun!
"What's wrong? Now we need to save people..."
"Don't you think this man's movements are a bit strange?" Duan Feng was interrupted by Chu Lingjun before he could finish his sentence.
Chu Lingjun narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the struggling figure in the distance: "Look carefully, is this person's movements a bit stiff and repeating them all the time?"
"Hey, this seems to be true," Chu Lingjun's assistant Si Yao immediately caught up with the train of thought, "That man's movements are indeed a bit strange!"
Being interrupted by Chu Lingjun, everyone immediately felt that something was wrong.
"Lao San, what do you mean..." The well-informed Zhao Hao suddenly thought of something.
"You'll know after you try it." Chu Lingjun said, taking off his backpack, unzipping it, and taking out a piece of raw meat still stained with blood.
If you look closely, you will see that the raw meat is crystal clear and has spiritual power flowing out. It is the flesh and blood of sea beasts.
Chu Lingjun threw the meat towards the man who cried out for help, and a strange scene suddenly appeared!
I saw the man himself "divided into five pieces" and then the scene changed, turning into several tentacles!
These tentacles were like sharks smelling the smell of blood. They excitedly pounced on this piece of raw meat with their claws and teeth, and then quickly jumped back to the water.
The sound of chewing delicious food was immediately heard from under the water surface, the sea water was boiling, and the blood stained the sea water red!
"This...is this a tentacle fish?"
Everyone who has witnessed the whole process, can they still not understand at this time?
The man who called for help just now was a fake and was a bait to lure them over!
"Yes, it's the tentacle fish!" Chu Lingjun replied with an ugly expression.
The Tentacle Fish and Sea Monster is a cunning fish and sea monster with dozens of tentacles growing on its body.
Its tentacles can not only attack and strangle enemies, but also have a large number of pigment cells growing on the surface of the tentacles like octopuses and chameleons, and can mimic the shape of the creature. The man who just asked for help was transformed by it.
At the same time, its mouth can also simulate a few simple notes to lure prey!
The scary thing is that as the tentacle fish's cultivation level increases, it can also directly launch illusion attacks on hunters, making it difficult for people to guard against it!
Fortunately, what appeared in front of everyone at this time was only the lowest level level one sea monster.
"Chu Lingjun, how did you see that?" Si Yao looked at Chu Lingjun in surprise and surprise. She felt that Chu Lingjun today was a little different from her previous impression.
"Yes, if Lingjun hadn't reacted quickly, we might have been lured into the sea right now..." Guan Buyu also said fearfully.
Everyone shuddered at the thought of being lured into the sea!
This deserted sea is really dangerous. Everyone was almost trapped and killed by sea beasts just after they arrived here!
Chu Lingjun, who showed off his performance, immediately became the object of attention in the 201 female dormitory.
As far as they knew, Chu Lingjun in dormitory 404 had the lowest cultivation level. Fortunately, Chu Lingjun broke through to the third orifice before the assessment, otherwise it would have held everyone back. In the end, they didn't expect Chu Lingjun to save him right away.
Saved everyone's life.
"Old San Niu, how did you see this?" Zhao Hao came over and patted Chu Lingjun's shoulder hard.
"I didn't see it at all." Wang Xiaomi sighed and shook his head.
"Neither did I..." Duan Feng looked embarrassed. Among everyone, he was the last person to be afraid of. He was the fastest one just now.
So when he discovered that it was a trap for the tentacle fish, Duan Feng immediately felt a little weak.
Ji Cao Wu 6, Chu Lingjun smiled and said: "It just feels a little abnormal. When we came here, we didn't see anyone, but suddenly someone came out to ask for help. This is a coincidence."
"For safety reasons, it is better to handle it with caution."
In fact, as soon as Chu Lingjun came to the coast, he had already carefully checked the surrounding area!
Another benefit brought by the recovery of ocean spiritual power is that the ocean is extremely polluted, the water is very clear, and the visibility is very high.
Chu Lingjun was 100% sure that when he scanned the area just now, there was nothing but clear sea water. So when a person suddenly came out to ask for help, Chu Lingjun must be 100% alert.
!
Everyone praised Chu Lingjun a few more words, and Chu Lingjun responded humbly.
After the previous episode, everyone suddenly moved further away from the Blood Forest and the sea, slowly searching for sea beasts along the beach.
Chu Lingjun gathered his thoughts and looked around more carefully. The spiritual power in his body was also rushing wildly, maintaining a state that could explode at any time.
What he didn't mention just now is that the tentacle fish is a bottom-dwelling fish that usually lives on the bottom of the sea and rarely appears on the sea surface.
This kind of sea beast is rarely encountered by sea masters in Rongcheng!
This is also the main reason why Zhao Hao, Duan Feng and others did not immediately think that this would be a tentacle fish trap.
This is just like when ordinary people enter the forest, they will be wary of tigers and brown bears, but not lions.
Chu Lingjun was also vigilant in this regard because he had read a lot of extracurricular books.
Thinking of this, Chu Lingjun's heart tensed up and started running wildly. Did the tentacle fish that suddenly appeared happen to appear here in the Blood Forest? Was it an accident or man-made?
Was the attack just now an instinctive hunting move by a sea beast or was it a long-planned attack?
If it had been planned for a long time, what was the motive for attacking the eight of them?
A large number of questions suddenly appeared in Chu Lingjun's mind, leaving him puzzled and making him more cautious about the next trip.
Among the crowd, Qi Ya, who had black stockings and long legs, couldn't help but cast her eyes on Chu Lingjun.
Her beautiful eyes were staring deeply at Chu Lingjun, her pink fists shrunk in her sleeves clenched, and her eyes were somewhat gloomy and downcast.
