"Alas! Even a big guy has his own troubles! "In the shallow waters near the coast, a huge monster was sighing.
After leaving the ice trench, Sui Xiong set out toward the land in the giant whale's memory, and soon arrived at the coast.
The scenery here was not good. The beach was full of black mudflats, and a rotten smell could be smelled from far away. It was simply a huge muddy pond.
Sui Xiong did not like this environment, but he had no choice. According to the giant whale's memory, the known area around here was full of black mudflats like this, and it was the same everywhere.
The giant whale did not have much curiosity. It was just habitually cruising in the sea, but even so, it had been cruising along the coastline for two or three days. There was no difference in the places it passed.
So Sui Xiong could only sigh and control the body of the huge deformed jellyfish to try to walk to the shore.
He was not worried about the lack of oxygen or the problem of drying up. Anyway, this jellyfish was dead, so it did not matter. Moreover, he had repeatedly strengthened its thick skin, and covered it with the tough outer skin of the giant whale, which was enough to prevent the loss of water in its body.
However, he neglected one important thing.
Once on the land, without the buoyancy of the sea, the huge weight of the huge body of the giant beast would be a big problem.
Just now, he had already tried it. Even if he did not completely leave the water, just the huge weight of his upper body had already made the tentacles that carried his weight sink deep into the beach mud. Every step forward was very troublesome. If he completely left the water, he was afraid that he would not be able to move an inch.
Perhaps he could use his great strength to force a way forward, even if every step left a big hole in the ground, he could still move forward step by step. But that was not only a waste of strength, but also a stupid move.
Walking or digging …
Sui Xiong really did not want to do that kind of stupid thing, so he had to use his brain to think of a solution to the problem.
After thinking for a long time, he finally came up with a solution that was not really a solution.
Since his body was huge and heavy, and it was difficult to move, then he could make his body smaller and lighter.
He could decompose the muscles and bones that made up the body into nutrients, and then concentrate these nutrients to reduce the size and weight.
This was absolutely against the common sense of biology and the conservation of mass, and it was absolutely impossible on the earth, but it was not impossible in this world.
It was just that it was very troublesome, and the conversion process would waste a lot of nutrients.
Sui Xiong didn't want to waste time like this, but in order to get on land, find people, and understand the details of this world, he had no other choice.
The huge sea monster's body trembled and quickly shrank. After a while, it had shrunk from the size of a small mountain to less than one percent of its original size.
According to the information in the giant whale's memory, his current size was about the same as a small fishing boat used by ordinary fishermen.
Sui Xiong wanted to shrink a little more, but his body had shrunk to the extreme at the moment. Except for the necessary skin, flesh, and bone structure, the rest was almost entirely composed of highly concentrated nutrients, and there was no room for further compression.
"Although it's still a little big, this is the best we can do …"
Sighing, the jellyfish, which could still be called a giant beast in the sea, took a step forward. Using dozens of tentacles to support its body, it crossed the muddy beach and landed on land.
The muddy beach was not an obstacle for Sui Xiong. His tentacles moved briskly, and he soon crossed the beach and stepped into the woods by the sea.
The woods here were quite strange. Whether it was the ground or the grass and trees, they were all grayish-black, the only difference being the different shades of black. Walking in the woods, he could feel a gloomy power in the air, which was turbid and chaotic, making Sui Xiong a little uncomfortable.
"Such a strange magic. I have never been to such a place in the giant whale's memory. It seems that it is unique to the land." As Sui Xiong moved forward, he sensed the surrounding situation. "Strange, why are there so few creatures in this forest? It is obviously lush and full of vegetation, but there are not many insects. What is going on? "
His soul was so strong that even the giant whale, which had lived for god knows how many years, could not compare. Even if he did not deliberately strengthen his senses, he could clearly feel the wind and grass within a few miles around him. In his senses, he clearly found that although the forest was lush with plants, there was a lack of animals and insects. He could not help but feel a little surprised.
In the vast nature, wherever there were plants, there should be herbivores that fed on plants, and then there should be carnivores that fed on herbivores, thus forming a food chain. Even if there were no animals, at least there should be insects with strong adaptability. But the situation in this forest was completely contrary to the common sense of biology that he knew. It was really strange and indescribable.
After all, it had been a long time since he came to this world, and he had traveled to many places in the vast sea. He had also obtained part of the memory of the giant whale by devouring souls. But whether he saw it with his own eyes or in the memory of the giant whale, he had never seen such a strange phenomenon.
Coupled with the strange magic that even the giant whale had never seen in the air, he vaguely had some bad guesses.
"This damn place … Is it the so-called 'forbidden area' that was born because of the chaos of magic?"
In this world, there were "forbidden areas." Those places were either inhabited by terrifying monsters that were so powerful that they were abnormal, or the magic was so thick and chaotic that it was unbearable. Thus, they became life forbidden areas that most creatures could not enter.
For example, the Ice Trench, where Sui Xiong had practiced not long ago, was a "forbidden area."
Looking at the strange appearance of this forest, it was indeed somewhat like a "forbidden area." But Sui Xiong had never thought that there would be such a strange "forbidden area" in this world, which did not have much effect on plants, but was extremely unfriendly to animals.
What was worse was that the body he was using at this moment was also a member of the animal race.
After realizing this, he immediately became vigilant and strengthened his senses of the surroundings, not daring to relax even a little.
Although his body was actually a soul, and he might not be afraid of the dangers in this "forbidden area," who knew if it would be worse?
It was better to be safe than sorry!
After walking carefully for a while, he did not encounter any danger. Instead, there were more and more insects around him. Sui Xiong then realized that he might have been too cautious and made a mistake.
The reason why there were so few animals and insects in this forest might not be that there was any danger, but that they did not like the environment by the sea.
Sui Xiong had mistaken Feng Jing for Ma Liang, which made a small joke of himself.
Fortunately, he was alone here, and no one would really laugh at him if he made a joke of himself.
With a self-deprecating smile, Sui Xiong finally relaxed and continued to move forward.
The black forest covered a large area. He landed on the shore in the afternoon and walked until it was dark, but he still could not walk out of the forest. Watching the sun set and the moon rise, Sui Xiong habitually found an open space in the forest and rested for a while, although the dark night did not affect his movements.
He deliberately maintained the habit of walking during the day and resting at night, not for safety, but to keep some traces of being a "human".
During this time, Sui Xiong found that he had become more and more accustomed to the way of life of a monster, and gradually forgot about the way of life of a human. This made him a little uneasy, so he deliberately kept some of the habits of a human. Not for anything else, but just to remind himself that he was not really a big monster, but a "human".
There was no vegetation in the open space in the forest, and the soil was extraordinarily dark. The chaotic and turbid magic in the air was much thicker. Sui Xiong chose to rest here, in fact, to test the waters.
If there was really something strange in this forest, it should probably be in this open space.
He stopped under a big tree at the edge of the open space, and waited patiently.
Sure enough, not long after, when the last ray of the sunset disappeared in the sky, there was a sudden change in the forest.
Wisps of black gas emerged from the ground, like a haze, and gradually covered the earth.
Sui Xiong clearly saw that the black gas coming out of the open space was thick and thick. It was no longer wisps, but streams, like a small fountain.
He was alert and ready to fight.
With more and more black gas, the turbid and chaotic magic in the air gradually became thicker, especially above the open space. The magic even gradually condensed to the point that it was visible to the naked eye, and mixed with the black fog, turning into a group of flowing vortexes.
After a while, the ground slowly cracked, and black skeletons emerged one by one.
"What is this? Undead scourge? " Sui Xiong was stunned. He did not expect to see such a fantasy thing. He then carefully observed the skeletons, but found that they did not bring much sense of danger to him, and they did not seem to be strong.
He waited for a while, and saw that more and more skeletons emerged from the ground, gradually squeezing into a dense pile. But they stood there motionless, as if they were just in a daze.
"These skeletons … what the hell is going on?"
Sui Xiong did not act rashly, and continued to wait patiently.
When the number of skeletons reached a certain level, there were no more skeletons emerging from the ground. Instead, the turbid and chaotic magic in the air began to gradually condense, gathering towards those skeletons.
Sui Xiong keenly felt that, although the speed was not fast, these magic were being absorbed by these skeletons little by little.
This situation lasted all night, until the moon was about to set, and the sky gradually began to dawn. The ground cracked again, and all the skeletons returned to the ground. The thick magic quickly dissipated along with the black gas.
When the sun shone on the earth again, the forest had returned to the original appearance he saw.
Sui Xiong did not leave, but stayed next to the open space, waiting for the next night.
The next night, what he saw last night repeated again.
When the sun shone on the earth again, and the skeletons returned to the open space again, Sui Xiong could not help but laugh.
This situation was really strange, but very interesting!
