Ethan’s Fantasy Drift

Ethan's survey team was not in a hurry to advance to the interior of the forest. Instead, they lived by the sea for a period of time and lived for a few days. After confirming the general situation of the world's environment, they began to advance to the interior of the forest.

Facts have proved that this kind of caution is very correct. They retreated less than half a day into the jungle.

The faces of all the people present were not very good-looking. There were no accidents in the past few days. The various test data of the air, soil and water of this planet are very satisfactory. This place seems to be a very perfect livable planet.

"I didn't expect that purple mist to be so troublesome."

It wasn't encountering a monster, nor encountering some primitive tribe or even local intelligent life, what blocked everyone was the thick purple fog.

When looking at it from the sky, these fogs are misty and beautiful, but when they are in this fog, the brilliance on the protective clothing keeps flashing, and the alarms flashing in the corner of their vision make them have to turn around. leave.

"In the fog... there seems to be something constantly attacking us."

Everyone just entered the purple fog, and before they walked far, the protective clothing began to remind everyone: the protective layer is under attack, and the defensive energy is declining.

Seeing this situation, everyone backed out immediately. They couldn't think too much in a hurry. Annette used the equipment to collect a little fog sample, which was already a quick reaction.

"It's not going to be a good thing anyway."

Logan lowered his head to check the condition of his equipment, and after finding that he had only lost a little energy, he checked it for others by the way, and finally stood in front of Groot.

"How do you feel, man?"

"Emgroot."

Rocket Raccoon on the side translated it casually: "He's fine, the fog didn't hurt him."

"I can understand."

One of the great benefits of becoming a Druid is that you can communicate with many beings without barriers. However, many living beings, such as most ordinary plants, only have some basic instinctive consciousness. Express clearly and accurately.

Groot is different, he has a fairly high intelligence and can express his thoughts perfectly (as long as you can understand their language).

In fact, not only Logan can understand Groot's words, but Ethan has also mastered the language used by Groot by casting spells such as 'knowing the language'.

Ethan didn't understand the principle of this spell, and the core seemed to be a rule: let me learn your language.

It is basically difficult to understand the principle of such rule-based spells, and it is also very troublesome to learn: if you can learn it, you can learn it, and if you can't learn it, you can't learn it.

It's not that Ethan can't learn it, it's just that he couldn't cast this spell as freely as he does now, and it won't hurt the opponent and himself.

The most convenient thing about mastering Groot's language is that he can communicate with Groot directly and ask him how he feels in that fog?

"Emgroot!"

Groot’s reply is of no reference value. As Rocket Raccoon said before, Groot can survive in most environments. He doesn’t feel the slightest discomfort in that fog, and even the dense forest environment makes him I feel very good.

"..."

This mist is harmless to plant-like Groot?

Annette was testing on the test bench placed in the open air. Before they figured out what it was, they would not bring this thing into the room they lived in.

It didn't take long for Annette to get the results.

"There are many kinds of strange microorganisms in the fog, and there are many ingredients that I have not seen, some of which are a bit like plant seeds."

"Seeds? Means these seeds in the mist attacked us?"

"Maybe it's not attacking, but just wanting to attach? Because our protective clothing is full of energy, maybe these seeds have survival instincts and think this is a good growth environment?"

This is a possibility, and since the mist is full of plant seeds, isn't it true that Groot, who is not wearing any protective clothing, is full of 'parasites? '

"It seems that Groot must undergo a meticulous sterilization before entering the room."

"Emgroot."

"Must be sterilized."

Groot was very frustrated, but this couldn't change everyone's decision. Star-Lord and Ethan discussed what to do next.

Their survey work only went smoothly in the initial stage, and they just started to conduct in-depth surveys, and they immediately ran into big trouble.

"If we turn off the protective clothing, the seeds contained in the mist may not choose to attach to our protective energy, so there is no problem?"

"If the energy is turned off, can we directly breathe the air of this planet? And how can we be sure that the purple mist is harmless to the human body?"

"This protective suit is also equipped with a closed helmet, but it usually has an energy layer, so it is not used."

"You can try it."

Ethan took out the fully enclosed helmet. The whole helmet is not very big, and at the same time, the entire front is made of transparent glass to ensure sufficient vision.

The helmet can rotate with the head. It is not the kind of hood that is buckled on the clothes and cannot be rotated. It is also not heavy and will not affect the user's movements.

Ethan and Star-Lord put on their helmets, together with Nebula, Logan, and Annette, and went deep into the jungle again. Groot was left behind this time, and Rocket Raccoon was responsible for a meticulous sterilization of him. Together with Gamora, they will guard the camp.

Entering the forest again, the deeper the fog becomes, the thicker it gets. Ethan and the others have already reached an area they haven't been to before, and their vision has begun to be affected. Everyone's mask has turned on the radar screen, which can remind teammates location, and recorded every inch of the area they walked, automatically drawn and generated maps and recorded the route they traveled.

"The seeds in the fog did not continue to attach to us."

Annette has been observing the situation on her body, and found that after closing the energy layer, the seeds in the mist did not have any 'abnormal movement', but were scattered in the mist normally.

"The fog in this forest doesn't seem to dissipate?"

When observing from the air, the entire forest is shrouded in thick fog. Maybe these purple things are not fog but something like miasma?

In this case, they can't just take off their helmets casually, who knows if this gas is poisonous.

Annette has already tested the ingredients, but she doesn't know what many of them are. After all, this is not the earth.

Even if the mist itself is not poisonous, the seeds scattered in the mist cannot be ignored. Who can guarantee that these seeds will grow after being inhaled?

"Plant variant?"

It's creepy to think about it. Ethan has already judged that this forest is not suitable for human beings to enter and settle unless the fog is cleared. What he has to judge now is how much the relationship between the fog and these plants is. .

Can proper removal of some plants open up a 'safe area' similar to the seaside?

While thinking about this, Logan, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, and deliberately used the communicator to remind everyone to be careful.

"What did you find?"

"There's something ahead."

Xingjue had already hung the survey equipment on his back and pulled out his weapon at the same time: "Is it a beast?"

"Not sure, it feels more like a plant, but this thing reveals a very strong aggressiveness."

"Maybe it's a plant with the ability to hunt? This thing is not unusual." Nebula pouted: "Just set it on fire and burn it."

I don't know if Xing Yun's thoughts were noticed by the other party, so she said her words, and several vines appeared in the mist, and they flew towards everyone.

The speed of the vines was very fast, and it was already in front of everyone in an instant. Those like Xingyun who had undergone enhanced transformation were a bit unable to react.

However, with Logan's warning, Ethan had long been on guard against unexpected situations, so none of these vines hit the target, and they were all blocked by the space wall released by Ethan.

What surprised Ethan was that this attack was just a feint, because he noticed a few vines approaching the crowd quietly on the side. If Ethan and the others were just ordinary surveyors, they might be succeeded by the other party.

But there is no ordinary person here, not only Ethan and Logan discovered the plant that wanted to launch a sneak attack from the side, but even Xingjue and Xingyun also responded and made a counterattack.

Xingjue's shooting skills are very powerful, even small targets can be accurately hit, and the vines are broken into pieces under continuous shooting.

Nebula uses the energy spear obtained from the Milano. This weapon has strong firepower and a large shooting area, similar to an energy version of a shotgun. As soon as it was fired, several vines were directly blasted into pieces.

Seeing that everyone performed so well, Ethan no longer paid attention to the sides and focused on the enemies ahead.

Perhaps because the sneak attack didn't work, the attacking plant no longer concealed itself, but launched a more ferocious attack. Not only did countless vines fly out of the mist, but there was also a cloud of purple-black liquid mixed with it.

Seeing the effect of these liquids falling on the ground and almost corroding the ground into a pit, no one wants to be touched by this thing.

"The fog must be cleared first."

The thick fog seriously affected the line of sight. Many times when they saw the attack, the vines and the liquid were already in front of them. This unfavorable situation must be changed.

While maintaining the space wall in front of him, Ethan mobilized his magic power to release another spell.

The majestic magic power gushed out from Ethan's body, and then turned into a strong wind, sweeping the entire area away.

The strong wind blew, and the purple mist was swept away. Everyone finally had a clear vision and saw what they were facing: a group of large purple flowers wriggling on the ground.
