Most ferocious beasts would have their own territory, and other beasts would not dare to enter their territory. Of course, this would only happen to the most fearsome beasts. For example, the iron lizard on Trash Planet. As the strongest creature on Trash Planet, no one would dare to invade its territory.
This was what Ye Chong was most worried about. No matter how he looked at it, the environment here was unique. He could see creatures like the black-winged wasps in the area he passed by earlier, but there were no signs of animals here, not even their feces. This was very unusual for Ye Chong.
Ye Chong was on high alert, and did not dare to be careless.
"Watch out, behind you!" Mu's warning was always timely.
Ye Chong exerted strength in his legs and shot forward like an arrow.
Thud thud thud.
A series of sounds came from behind him, along with a series of screams. Qin Zuo and the rest were not as skilled as Ye Chong, and they were all very relaxed, not expecting to be attacked. They had been careless the last time they passed through here unscathed.
Seeing that there were no dangerous plants ahead, Ye Chong did not stop, but turned back to see what was behind him.
On the surface of the water, there were dozens of silver pipes as thick as a thumb, their mouths facing him. Ye Chong was surprised. What was that?
He took a glance and saw Qin Zuo and the rest wailing on the ground, each of them with thumb-sized objects that looked like ancient arrows. The protective suits obviously did not provide much protection. The places where they were hit were stained with blood, and all five of them looked like they were in pain.
Ye Chong shuddered. Something that could pierce through protective suits was not to be underestimated. But, what was that?
Suddenly, the river surged. Whoosh! A creature that Ye Chong had never seen before appeared.
The monster looked strange. It floated on the surface of the water, supported by a large flat disc. Silver tentacles extended from the sides of the disc. These tentacles were hollow, and when straightened, they looked like thin silver tubes. It was the silver tubes Ye Chong saw standing on the surface of the water. The surface of the disc was densely covered with sharp spikes. From afar, it looked like a round target full of arrows. At the center of the disc was a thick column of flesh holding a black balloon. On top of the balloon, a pair of bloodthirsty red eyes stared at Ye Chong.
What is this? Ye Chong was once again confused. He was certain that he had never seen such a creature before. Glancing at the five people on the ground, they didn't seem to be in good condition. To be honest, when encountering such an unknown creature, leaving immediately was the wisest choice. However, Ye Chong had no choice but to do it. If he did not save the five of them, the chances of him finding the teardrop mineralite in this dense forest would be much lower than killing this monster.
Without hesitation, Ye Chong deployed Guardian immediately.
A few rays of sunlight shone on Guardian through the gaps between the trees. The dazzling golden light reminded Ye Chong of the legendary warriors who fought for God. It was a pity that Ye Chong could not see it himself. Even if he could, he would probably find it too dazzling. He was getting used to it. It had been a long time since he controlled the Guardian to fight, and he needed a short period of time to adapt to the black and white vision.
The sudden change in Ye Chong's appearance had obviously frightened the monster.
Suddenly, the monster's ball sac swelled up like an inflating balloon. At the same time, the disk also expanded rapidly, and the barbs strangely sank into the monster's body. All the tentacles were aimed at Ye Chong.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Ye Chong was very familiar with the sound. It was the sound of an object flying through the air at high speed. Dozens of white dots appeared in his vision, and the data was refreshed like a waterfall.
Ye Chong pulled out his dagger like lightning. He moved so fast that it could only be described as lightning. Ye Chong was already fast enough to pull out the dagger with his bare hands, and now that he was equipped with Guardian, he moved faster than the human eye could follow.
Instead of retreating, Guardian charged towards the monster like a golden bolt of lightning. Zigzagging, curved steps, and so on. Ye Chong was treating this monster as a terrifying opponent.
As he dodged, Ye Chong used his dagger to deflect some of the barbs that he could not dodge. The barbs were powerful and fast. Even with Guardian, Ye Chong did not dare to let his guard down.
It knows how to shoot at a wide area? Ye Chong dared not let his guard down.
The monster's tentacles continued to spit out the barbs, wave after wave. The silver barbs glowed under the sunlight as they surged towards Ye Chong.
Guardian came closer and closer to the monster. In his vision, Guardian began its analysis, and the fatal white line finally locked onto the spot between the monster's eyes! Ye Chong understood that the white line must be the monster's weakest point.
Ye Chong did not have time to think. All he could see was the white line.
Behind Ye Chong, the ground and the trees were already full of silver barbs, densely packed under the sunlight. Since the barbs were all aimed at Ye Chong, the five injured people were not hit at all.
The monster had finally finished spitting out its barbs! Ye Chong was as calm as ever. The white line between the monster's bloodshot eyes grew larger and larger in Ye Chong's vision.
The monster's eyes finally showed fear. It had always been the ruler of the forest, but now it was facing something stronger than itself.
Guardian's Mach 10 short-range sprint ability was perfectly demonstrated at this moment. When an object rushed at you at Mach 10, the unparalleled impact was absolutely terrifying.
The monster wanted to run. It dove down quickly. It believed that as long as it was in the water, no one would be a match for it.
Before the water could submerge the large disc in front of its eyes, it felt a sudden chill in the space between its eyes.
Ye Chong saw that it was trying to escape, and threw the dagger in his right hand. Whether it was in terms of strength or accuracy, this throw was impeccable.
Ye Chong stopped by the river. The monster's body floated on the surface. He brought the carcass to the shore and retrieved his dagger. Ye Chong deactivated Guardian and had no time to examine the monster. He immediately ran to the five injured people.
He carefully examined the injuries of the five people. Fortunately, none of their wounds were fatal. Meng Fei 'er was the group's medic, and was equipped with medical equipment. Ye Chong removed the medical kit from Meng Fei 'er's body. Meng Fei' er had never suffered such a serious injury in her life. She had fainted from the pain.
Ye Chong removed the barbs and treated their wounds. Phal and Vicente were old, and fainted from the pain as well. Han Ben and Qin Zuo were physically strong. Although they were pale, they were still conscious.
Both of them could not hide the shock in their eyes. This was the most terrifying creature they had ever seen. The barbs it spat out could penetrate through protective suits. After all, protective suits could even withstand heat ray guns. This kind of ugly monster was too terrifying! If it weren't for the existence of this young man, they would have become food in its stomach.
However, Qin Zuo's fear was not because of the creature. To him, the creature was terrifying, but compared to the skinny young man before him, it was only a worm.
Qin Zuo was sure that the golden armor that appeared out of nowhere was a miniature mech. If he, as a teacher in the Alliance Academy's mech pilot faculty, could not even see this, he might as well bang his head against the wall. Of course, this was only what he thought when he first saw Guardian.
Soon, he almost overthrew his earlier thought. Heavens! Was this really a miniature mech? Qin Zuo was stunned. He could not even feel the pain from his body. What kind of speed was this? It must be above Mach 7, he estimated conservatively.
A miniature mech with Mach 7 speed? This completely overturned the concept he had developed for many years.
Qin Zuo felt his brain going numb as he watched the miniature mech change directions to avoid the barbs.
Was he even human?
Qin Zuo was speechless. He now understood one thing - this young man before him, his abilities and everything about him, had long surpassed the limits of a human being.
Such an exaggerated short-distance change of direction would be too much of a burden on the human body. There was absolutely no chance of survival. Qin Zuo believed it without a doubt before witnessing the scene before him. Even YC, the legendary master in the virtual world, could not reach this level. A long time ago, he had seen a recording of YC's competition, where he made 8 consecutive low-angle changes in 3 seconds. Before he met this young man, he thought that was the limit of human ability.
He never imagined that this young man before him was YC. To him, the difference between them was too great.
Ye Chong ignored Qin Zuo and Han Ben, who were looking at him like he was a monster. He picked up a flying barb from the ground and studied it closely. "Hmm, judging from its texture, it should be a bone barb." Ye Chong, who was well-versed in skeletons, made his judgment immediately. It was light, but extremely hard, with a sharp tip. It was silver in color, about 15 centimeters long, and had a flat tail, which provided good flight performance. These were natural bone barbs. Ye Chong quickly collected all the barbs on the ground.
Ye Chong tied the 200 or so bone barbs together with a sturdy rattan and put them in his backpack. Ye Chong walked to the carcass of the monster and examined it. Other than the barbs, there were no other bones. They were worthless to Ye Chong.
Ye Chong walked to the five people, but he was troubled. Three of them were unconscious, and the other two were heavily injured, unable to move. Without a guide, it would be impossible for Ye Chong to find the teardrop mineralite.
Qin Zuo was a smart man, and knew what Ye Chong was thinking. He smiled wryly and said, "I don't know what you're looking for, but for our previous journey, you only had to follow this river. We did not go far last time, about 5 kilometers at most from here. You can look for it yourself, sir. " Qin Zuo finally understood. With Lin Fan's strength, no matter what the situation was, it would be a piece of cake for him to deal with them. He could not think of anyone who could stop this young man.
Qin Zuo was experienced, and knew that most strong people were proud, and would not accept favors easily. Therefore, he took the initiative to say it, hoping to gain the youth's favor. That way, his group's chances of survival would increase by a bit.
Obviously, Qin Zuo's cooperation surprised Ye Chong. He took a look at the five people. If he left, they would not be able to protect themselves. However, as long as they stayed here, they would not be in danger. With the monster's strength and aggressiveness, Ye Chong did not believe that there would be other animals in the area. Besides, Mu's scan showed that Ye Chong was right.
Ye Chong nodded and said, "You guys stay here. There are no wild animals nearby, wait for me."
Ye Chong turned and sprinted along the river. Without the hindrance of the five people, Ye Chong ran fast, like a cheetah full of energy, sprinting in the forest.
Ye Chong did not encounter any wild animals along the way, but he did encounter a few dangerous plants. It seemed that the monster was very dominant in the area.
Five kilometers was only a matter of time for him.
"Stop! Ye, "Mu spoke suddenly. Ye Chong could not help but feel happy. Mu would not ask him to stop for no reason, he must have found something.
As expected, Mu said, "Ye, go left."
Ye Chong adjusted his direction according to Mu's instructions. However, the plants here were too dense, and it was a problem for him. Looking at the intertwining vines in the air, Ye Chong could only give up on the idea of flying.
Ye Chong decided to deploy Guardian again. He did not believe that any plant could penetrate Guardian's armor. This way, he could move faster. However, only Ye Chong would use a super mech like Guardian to pave the way.
"Alright, it's here." Even with Mu's usual calmness, his voice was slightly shaky. This made Ye Chong understand the importance of the teardrop mineralite.
It was an empty field. Strangely, there were no plants growing within a radius of 50 meters. The bare ground formed a perfect circle. And in the center of the circle, there was a dark, eerie hole.
In such a dense forest, there was actually such an area that did not have any plants growing. Furthermore, it was an extremely complete circle. It was indescribably strange.
