Like other mercenary teams, the Ice Star team was affected by this strange environment as soon as they entered the stone forest.
Roy is no exception.
He found that not only his field of vision had become much narrower, but the range of perception had also shrunk a lot. There seemed to be a kind of power, like a spider's thread, wrapping around his body one by one.
If it had been in the past, Roy would have definitely felt a lot of discomfort, but now, he found that he was not greatly affected.
This is due to the demonic power he absorbed.
This unique power belonging to the abyss gives me an inexplicable sense of familiarity and integration with the abyss. Just like birds flying in the sky and fish swimming in the water, it is completely a natural talent and instinct.
And with the operation of the Principle Art, the source power containing the power of the devil traveled around the sky. Soon, even some slight effects when entering the stone forest were eliminated.
Of course, no one knew about Roy's physical changes. Seeing Roy walking alone in front, Franco asked, "Leo, do you need my help?"
"No need," Roy waved his hand, "You go slowly, I'll explore the way ahead first."
"Be careful." Afu said.
Roy nodded and ran out like a cheetah. He only shook a few times and disappeared into the dark stone forest.
"Let's go," Landero pulled out his long sword, "Let's go slower and wait for Leo's first round of exploration."
"Damn, what the hell is this place?" Lacios covered his forehead, feeling dizzy no matter which way he looked, "Franco, how are you?"
Franco frowned, made a sword dance with both hands, carefully observed the surroundings and said, "We scouts all have their own way of distinguishing directions. You have a much better sense of direction. However, the environment here is too complicated, so be careful."
A little bit is good.”
Everyone nodded. They felt the same way.
As mercenaries, everyone understands the importance of environment and terrain. When fighting in an unfavorable environment, the danger index will increase exponentially. Even if you just encounter a fifth-level demon, it will be completely different here from other places.
.
"Is Roy okay?" Lake said worriedly.
"It should be no problem." Franco said, "From what I saw, his movements didn't seem to be affected at all. It's really strange."
While everyone was talking, Roy had already moved forward fifty meters.
While no one was watching, he quickly opened the field and released Xiao Bai.
In a place like the abyss, Xiaobai is the top scout.
When the two of them are in the light and the dark, the area of exploration is wider and the range of early warning is also larger. Especially for some places where Roy is unsure, he can use the clone to investigate first. The clone is the incarnation of the domain. Even if it collapses temporarily, as long as it
It can take some time to recover.
The scout's exploration range is usually the two areas in front of the left and right of the team's forward route. To put it more vividly, it is like the two large pincers of a lobster.
Roy first explored the right side of the team's direction. In this direction, he found more than a dozen level five demons. There were eight fire rock demons, three ghost demons and one iron claw demon. At the same time,
A huge devil tree was also discovered.
This devil tree grows on a floating rock with a diameter of 20 meters. The winding roots wrap most of the rock. Hundreds of tree vines hang down from the giant umbrella-like crown and float in the wind. It looks like,
Like a black jellyfish.
Devil trees are not uncommon. Roy has seen many on the first and second floors of the abyss. However, this is the first time he has seen such a huge devil tree.
Roy was naturally unwilling to touch such a guy. Fortunately, the existence of this tree did not completely cut off the team's forward route. As long as they detoured a hundred or two hundred meters, they could pass through the edge of its control range.
Relying on the clone, Roy quickly figured out the demon's location and surrounding environment. After making a mental note, he quietly sneaked to the left.
The area on the left overlapped with the investigation areas of other mercenary teams. As soon as he rounded a stone pillar covered with black vines, Roy saw Sieg carefully exploring. About fifty meters away from him,
It's another scout named Hei Ling.
Roy observed secretly.
It has to be said that these two are experienced elites who are good at making judgments from clues. Where there is no danger, they are very fast, and where there is danger, they act as if they already know it, and immediately slow down and investigate carefully.
.
Their movements were agile, light, and methodical, like two shadows floating in the forest. Not only were the nearby abyssal demons not disturbed by them, but even some hidden abyssal plants wherever they passed quietly stayed in place.
However, these two people were obviously affected by the strange environment of the stone forest.
Roy found that every time they walked, they would stop to adjust their already confused sense of direction, and use some hunters' tricks to re-identify the direction.
However, this made their investigation speed much slower than usual, and the dark environment and confusing sense of direction caused them to ignore many places without realizing it.
If a reconnaissance area is divided equally into ten subdistricts, then Siege and Hei Ling have ignored at least three of them.
Avoiding Siege and Hei Ling, Roy and Xiaobai carefully sorted out the area.
He found that if we only looked at the area explored by Siege and Hei Ling, it would be a good choice for the team to pass through this area. Whether it was the distance traveled or the dangers that needed to be dealt with along the way, it was the area he had explored before.
Want less.
However, if we add in the things they ignored, we are not so optimistic.
There are at least more than seventy abyss demons in the entire area. Moreover, their distribution is quite dense. As long as one part of them is disturbed, the entire area will turn into a series of falling dominoes. Other demons will swarm in.
Of course, for the five mercenary teams, this is not a danger, at most it is a little trouble.
The investigation ended quickly.
Because he was not affected by the environment and with the help of his clone, Roy spent less than one-third of the time spent exploring this area by Sieg Heiling. When the two of them had just finished exploring this area, Roy
Yi has returned to the team's location.
"Go this way."
Roy gestured to everyone from afar, turned around immediately, and took the lead.
…………
"Look, the Ice Star team has moved, they are going that way." A mage from the Raphael Mercenary Group looked at the Ice Star team and said.
"So fast?" Everyone opened their eyes wide.
Although the Ice Star team entered the stone forest a minute or two earlier, the two sides sent out scouts almost simultaneously.
For a round of scouting, one needs to complete two investigation areas on the left and right.
Now Siege and Hei Ling have just completed the exploration of the right side of the investigation area. They are about to explore the left side of the area, but the rookie scout has already completed it.
One person vs. two people, the speed is twice as fast?!
How is this possible!
For a moment, everyone looked at Roy with contempt, disgust and anger.
In their opinion, no one can complete the investigation in such a short time. This also means that this kid is simply perfunctory. And his laziness and stupidity are not only irresponsible for himself, but also for others around him.
Companions are irresponsible.
Thinking about it now, everyone only feels happy and scared!
Fortunately Hoover drove him away. Otherwise...
"Asshole!" Olivia yelled angrily, "Has Landreaux been drugged? To trust such a trash without reservation is so stupid. Doesn't he know that he is committing a crime by doing this?
!”
"When I go back this time, I must report it to the mission hall." Wood gritted his teeth and said, "This kind of person must be removed! He cannot stay as a mercenary and cause harm to everyone."
"Report?" Hoover laughed, "Mr. Wood, do you think they can get away from the Dark Basin with such nonsense?"
Hoover smiled happily.
Although when he accused Landreaux just now, he spoke righteously and looked like he was thinking about everyone, but in reality, his ultimate goal was to drive away the Ice Star Team.
He knew this, and so did others. Therefore, even Olivia agreed to let the Ice Star Team leave, but she never gave him a good look.
However, everything that happened before his eyes proved Hoover's wisdom.
When the admiring eyes of the surrounding mercenaries gathered on him like stage lights, Hoover couldn't help feeling proud.
"No, I have to stop them!" Olivia said, preparing to walk towards the Ice Star Team.
But at this moment, Jacob suddenly let out an exclamation.
"What does that kid want to do?"
Everyone looked up and saw the Ice Star team moving forward in a regular shuttle formation. And in front of them, Leo was running at high speed like a magic leopard.
The terrain of the stone forest is very complex. Even the elves and orcs who are best at running in mountains and jungles must be careful when traveling in this kind of place. What's more, the chaotic sense of direction and dark environment of the dark basin can easily make people unaware.
of lost.
But at this moment, Roy seemed to have no idea how dangerous this place was, running around and bumping around.
Almost at the same time, everyone's hearts tightened.
"Hooka!"
With a roar unique to the devil, a fire rock demon opened its legs, rushed out from behind a nearby stone pillar, and rushed towards Roy.
The appearance of the devil did not make Roy end his dangerous actions. On the contrary, as if he was frightened, he changed direction and ran to the other side, trying to get rid of the devil.
"Hooka!"
With another roar, another fire rock demon in the stone forest was also aroused. Like a heavy chariot, it crashed through the grass and pounced on Roy from the side.
"Damn it!"
"Stop! Idiot!"
The mercenaries were frightened and angry, and cursed loudly. This stone forest was strange and dangerous, and no one knew what terrifying things were hidden in it. If this kid was running around like this, if he provoked something, not only would the Bingxing team suffer, but also his own side,
There may also be a fish-in-pond disaster.
However, their shouts did not make Roy stop.
Seeing the second demon charging at him, Roy changed direction again and fled quickly. However, when he rounded a stone pillar, another demon was alerted by him in the grass not far away, and rushed out with a roar.
, joined the pursuit.
As a result, Roy's escape trajectory became even more chaotic. He rushed left and right, running around and bumping into each other. In an instant, he provoked three or four more abyss demons to appear.
A group of demons were chasing behind him, ferocious and ferocious. From a distance, they looked like a group of lions hunting a small antelope. If Roy made even the slightest mistake, he would be torn to pieces by these demons. The scene looked thrilling.
To the extreme!
"Look, what I said," Hoover hugged his arms and sneered, "This kind of person is Landreaux's most trusted scout. Just now, he was planning to let us put our lives in the hands of this kind of person.
Now look at this idiot..."
Before Hoover finished speaking, suddenly, the crowd screamed, drowning his voice.
"Look!"
"This kid is so fast!"
I saw Roy running, suddenly rising into the air, stretching out his feet to kick on a stone pillar, and then he was refracted and shot backwards. After passing several surrounding demons, he turned over and landed on the ground, making a few wrong steps.
It has passed between the three demons.
From a distance, it looks like it has turned into a breeze and passed through a wall!
