With the giant lizard's huge body and 15 points of Dexterity, it was not slow at all even though it was walking slowly.
Every time they passed a hill, Luo Yuan would draw a map on the tree bark according to the terrain. The terrain here was too complicated. Sometimes, when they encountered some particularly steep peaks or cliffs, they would have to detour far away. Without repeated comparisons and corrections, they would probably get lost in this boundless forest very quickly.
At one o 'clock in the afternoon, the giant lizard walked into a valley. On both sides were cliffs and jagged rocks. The valley was very deep, and along the way, there was an obvious downward slope. It would not be wrong to call it a canyon.
The air here was humid and humid. Even though it was the afternoon of a hot day, the air was still filled with a damp mist. The huge broad-leaved forest was verdant and exuberant, but perhaps because of the sun, the trees were somewhat sparse, and there was a large gap between them.
… …
"Boss Luo, look! Is that a footprint?" Huo Dong suddenly said, his voice trembling.
Luo Yuan quickly looked in the direction that Huo Dong was pointing. His face suddenly became serious. About 10 meters in front of them, there were a few huge pits that were almost two meters wide. The pits were very deep, and the deepest was a meter deep. There was a claw-like shape at the bottom of the pit. It was undoubtedly a footprint.
Luo Yuan quickly stopped the giant lizard, his face solemn. Even the sea creatures he had seen last time did not have such a huge footprint. The giant lizard's footprints were tiny compared to it.
He could not imagine how huge this creature was.
Everyone's face was a little pale, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little tense.
"Should we go around it?" Huang Jiahui suddenly said.
Luo Yuan shook his head and said in a low voice, "This area is almost full of cliffs and steep slopes. I don't know how long we'll have to go around if we want to go around it."
If there was a weakness of the giant lizard, it would be that it was not good at climbing. A normal slope could be like flat ground, but once the slope was 40 to 50 degrees, it would be difficult for it. If it was any steeper, it would be powerless.
The reason they had to go through this canyon was because they had taken a long detour to find the only path that they could pass through.
"Actually, you don't have to worry too much. Based on the size of this creature, even if the giant lizard is only the size of a cat to it, it should be fine as long as we avoid it carefully," Luo Yuan said after thinking for a while.
Just like how humans deliberately targeted ants, creatures that were too big might be safer for humans.
"Luo Yuan, let's not take the risk. We'd rather go around for a few more days." Huang Jiahui advised. She glanced at the footprint and couldn't help but swallow her saliva. This was too frightening. The footprint was already so big. How big was the body? Even the giant lizard would be finished with a single stomp.
Luo Yuan looked at the crowd and realized that everyone was panicking. They had been scared out of their wits by the giant footprint. Apparently, Huang Jiahui was not the only one who had the same thought.
He was a little hesitant, feeling that he had overlooked something.
"No! The food chain in the natural world is strict and orderly, one ring after another, forming a perfect pyramid distribution. If such a large creature is a carnivore, I'm afraid it will be a devastating disaster for the creatures in this area. It might even be impossible for them to survive. "
He suddenly raised his head and looked at the top of the tree where the footprint was.
Indeed, it was not just this tree. Almost all the young leaves on the treetops within a radius of a few hundred meters had disappeared.
Obviously, this was not a carnivore, but a herbivore.
Luo Yuan quickly explained his discovery to them in detail, and the nervous crowd immediately relaxed. Compared to aggressive carnivores, herbivores were much more tame. As long as one did not provoke them, they would not attack.
Even so, Luo Yuan still asked the giant lizard to stay far away from the footprint to avoid touching it. With the size of this giant beast, no matter how tame it was, it would be extremely dangerous to get close to it. It was also extremely dangerous to get close to it. Perhaps just by walking around unconsciously, a terrifying disaster would descend from the sky.
After walking for more than 10 minutes, he felt the ground start to shake rhythmically. It was a little light at first, but soon it became more and more intense. The giant lizard was irritated and snorted, and the noisy giant ape suddenly quieted down and followed the crowd obediently.
Accompanied by the shaking of the ground, a light breeze blew through the forest. Soon, it became a light breeze, and the leaves rustled, followed by the sound of trees breaking.
The sound gradually became louder and louder.
A few minutes later, a figure as large as a mountain slowly walked over from afar. Due to the trees blocking the view, it was very difficult to see its full appearance. Only its four legs, which were as thick as the stone pillars of a viaduct, could be seen in front of everyone as it slowly walked over.
The slow referred to the frequency of its movement, but because of its huge size, its speed was not much slower than the giant lizard's.
There were no scales on the surface of its legs, so it looked extremely rough. There was a thick layer of dark gray cuticle all over its body. Luo Yuan estimated that it would take a lot of effort to cut through its defense with his Zhanmadao.
Through the mottled leaves, he was shocked to find that the giant beast was at least 10 meters tall. It was like a skyscraper that was more than 10 stories tall. Even looking at it from afar, he was still extremely shocked.
It was about a kilometer away from Luo Yuan and the rest. It brushed past them and soon disappeared, leaving only a gust of wind. The crowd was stunned for a while before they continued their journey.
… …..
When it was almost 3 p.m., Luo Yuan and the rest finally walked out of the valley. In front of them was a sunken basin. After walking for more than three hours, the sun began to set and the sky gradually darkened.
"Let's rest here for the night!" Luo Yuan looked around and asked the giant lizard to stop.
The trees here seemed to be of the same type. Aerial roots covered in fine tentacles hung down from the branches. From afar, they looked like hanging pythons. The dense leaves were so dense that even the wind couldn't pass through. The afterglow of the setting sun was completely covered. Being in the forest, one would feel as if they had directly stepped into the night.
Luo Yuan was the first to jump down. Using his Zhanmadao, he cut through the dense aerial roots that were difficult for people to pass through. The space suddenly became spacious.
"Why does this place feel so creepy?" Wang Xiaguang jumped down and looked around. It seemed like it was just a psychological effect. She felt a little uncomfortable.
"Me too!" Wang Shishi said. She kicked the huge root under her feet. There was almost no soil there. There was only an extremely twisted root that was intertwined with each other. There was also no trace of the grass and shrubs that were commonly seen under a normal forest.
"Luo Yuan, is there any danger here?" Huang Jiahui asked.
"Don't scare yourself, but we should all be careful at night!" Luo Yuan frowned. He did not know why, but he had a feeling that he was being watched ever since he had stepped into this place. The feeling was very vague, but it was everywhere. He had been very nervous the whole way, but he did not notice any danger.
He looked at the sky and gave up on the idea of leaving. Maybe it was just a psychological effect.
