Infinite Bloodcore

Chapter 17: Someone asks for help

In choosing a direction, young people and girls have tried their best.

Looking at the stars to identify directions is not what they are good at.

What Zidi is really good at is business, potions and magic are secondary.

Zhenjin has common sense but incomplete memory. Currently, he finds that what he is good at is fighting.

The two of them were rushing to become the Lord of Baisha City. Who could have imagined that they would encounter a shipwreck? Who would have thought that we would end up on such a dangerous and strange island?

The two of them walked straight ahead, only occasionally searching nearby to confirm their current direction.

Different from yesterday, so the exploration strategy was different. They quickly exceeded yesterday's exploration scope and reached a completely new area.

"Be careful." Zhen Jin warned.

Next to them is a cliff, and a big tree grows on the edge of the cliff, still rising straight into the sky. There are just many tree roots, which are exposed on the cliff.

There are also many trees growing at the base of the cliff, whose canopies are still several meters above the cliff edge.

Zidi nodded and followed Zhenjin, carefully avoiding the cliff.

The cliff is very high and the consequences of falling will be serious.

Headaches, bleeding, and fractures are normal.

In this forest, human fragility is actually beyond human imagination.

Even a sprained ankle could cost your life. Because an ankle sprain will cause difficulty in mobility, being unable to escape when attacked by a beast, and a series of negative consequences.

Once he loses his footing and falls, even someone with the strength of Zhen Jin will suffer a lot.

After all, he couldn't inspire fighting spirit.

Far away from this cliff, Zidi still looked back with fear.

This kind of cliff terrain is easy to avoid during the day. But not at night.

It's so hard.

Human vision is very limited at night.

Without the help of fighting spirit and magic, just relying on his eyes is almost like a blind man.

Just when you thought you were walking on flat and safe terrain, it turns out that as soon as you pushed aside the branches blocking you, you missed your step and fell off the cliff!

"Fortunately, we didn't encounter this kind of terrain when we escaped before." Zidi said happily.

"Yes." Zhen Jin was also afraid and resonated with Zidi's words.

If they had fallen off the cliff that night while being chased by the Fire Venomous Bees, I am afraid that the two of them would have become skeletons at the bottom of the cliff.

As we get further away from the cave, there are more and more cliffs like this.

The terrain becomes more undulating.

This change isn't all bad.

Because sometimes, boys and girls will stand on the edge of a cliff - a place with a wider view, and observe from a distance.

Of course, this is only occasionally the case. Most of the time, even on the edge of the cliff, there are large trees, with their crowns and branches tightly blocking the view.

There are trees everywhere.

It is too easy for people to lose their way when walking in such an environment.

Zhen Jin kept marking on the map to record the route he took - he drew a straight line.

But in fact, is the path they take really a straight line?

The boys and girls are not sure. In fact, they are more guilty. Because they understand that when there is a lack of reference, it is difficult for them to ensure that their path forward is straight.

Therefore, when there is a cliff with a relatively wide view that allows them to take a long look, they will cherish it very much.

It is difficult for ordinary people to imagine this.

Exploring in the forest and taking an ordinary distant look will give people deep in the forest joy and confidence.

This is of course also because Zhenjin is not good at climbing trees.

Knight training never included teaching people to climb trees.

This is not surprising.

Because the knight has mastered the fighting spirit, he is able to jump up and onto the branches that extend sideways, and there is no need for special training in tree climbing.

When a knight fights, he is never alone.

They have mounts and attendants, and when the legion goes to war, there are already auxiliary troops to investigate and clear the way.

Needlekin tried climbing trees.

After three meters above the ground, he gave up.

First, he had to climb near the canopy of the tree so that he could look far. To do this, be at least ten meters above the ground.

This height is very risky.

If he loses his footing and falls to the ground, he will be injured.

He is a knight, the most elite Templar under Emperor Shengming, but he cannot inspire fighting spirit. Without the protection of fighting spirit, it is difficult for the body alone to withstand such a height difference.

During the entire process of climbing the tree, once an attack came, it was also the time when he and Zidi were most vulnerable.

Secondly, climbing such straight and towering trees is far more difficult than those rainforest trees with slanting branches and entangled vines.

In the end, he had to consider his own physical strength.

Climbing trees takes too much energy.

Once you exert too much effort, you will sweat and become hungry, so you need to add a lot of food and water. Especially for the latter, young girls really don’t have much reserves.

Needle gold climbs high and looks far.

"Look there, there is a low place there." Zhen Jin said.

They should try to go as low as possible.

This type of terrain is likely to have water.

On the one hand, it can help young girls replenish water. On the other hand, they may be able to find a river and walk along it to get out of the forest.

This is because the island is surrounded by sea, and water flows to lower areas and eventually merges into the ocean.

An ideal river would end in a beach or reef.

After spilling a packet of glitter potion on the edge of the cliff, the boy and girl changed their direction slightly.

Soon they came to a low spot.

Rather disappointed, they found no river, let alone any water.

This landform is like a giant bowl, and there are still trees in the bowl.

However, just as the two were about to change direction, they suddenly paused.

A black panther unexpectedly appeared in their eyes.

It has black fish scales and a horn in the middle of its forehead.

It's the scaly-horned black panther!

When they discovered the Black Panther, the latter also discovered them.

For a moment, both parties were stunned on the spot. This encounter seemed to be caught off guard for both of them.

Zhen Jin quietly grasped the spear and couldn't help but become nervous.

He was not afraid of a scaly-horned black panther and could easily be severely injured by it. But what about a group?

What’s even more frightening is, what if it’s not the group of black panthers attacking the monkey-tailed brown bears, but a relatively intact group of leopards?

Although most of these scaly-horned black panthers are only at the bronze level, once there are a large number of them, they can hunt in groups and dare to besiege silver monsters like monkey-tailed brown bears.

If Zhenjin is besieged by a group of black panthers and cannot protect himself, he must protect Zidi.

This is difficult to do.

However, there is no good way at the moment, everything can only be played by ear!

Both sides were motionless, and the air seemed to freeze.

Zi Di held her breath, the pressure in her heart was getting bigger and bigger, and her face started to turn a little pale.

After a brief stalemate, the scaly-horned black panther suddenly turned around and slipped away.

Unexpected situation!

"Hurry up and chase, it might attract the entire leopard group." The next moment, Zidi whispered a reminder.

Zhen Jin nodded. He deeply remembered that the Fire Venomous Bee Swarm had forced away a black panther. As a result, the entire group of leopards came with revenge, and eventually got into a fight with the monkey-tailed brown bear.

"Follow me. If not..." Zhen Jin was interrupted by Zidi before he finished speaking.

"Don't worry, we all have potions and can mark them anywhere for rendezvous!" Zidi answered quickly.

This was the method agreed upon by the two to prevent them from getting lost.

Zhen Jin spread his legs and ran quickly.

Trees almost rushed towards me, but they were all quickly dodged by Needle Gold.

Hearing the whistling sound of wind, Zhen Jin concentrated on not only locking onto the black panther's figure, but also taking care of his surroundings to prevent any insidious attacks.

It was not night but daytime, and Zhenjin had a very good view.

He breathed heavily, and his heart was spitting out blood. The blood was almost as fast as hair, and a large number of muscles in his body were relaxing and contracting, bringing strong kinetic energy.

Zhenjin was so fast that he quickly closed the distance between him and Black Panther.

This scaly-horned black panther is not very fast.

As the two sides got closer, Zhenjin was surprised to find that the scaly-horned black panther was injured.

"It's injured. Could it be that it has participated in the siege of monkey-tailed brown bears?"

Acupuncture is a little bit more reassuring.

Because of the leopard group that was severely injured by the monkey-tailed brown bear, all the leaders were dead, and only two and three were left.

"Still be vigilant!"

"What if this is just a ploy by the leopards to lure enemies?"

Zhenjin had heard Zidi's retelling and knew how the sinister and vicious blue wolf repeatedly attacked and killed the exploration team. The beasts on this island cannot be judged by common sense. If the scale-horned leopard group adopts the tactic of luring the enemy, Zhenjin would not be surprised.

To Zhen Jin's surprise again, the scaly-horned black panther running ahead suddenly stopped.

It made a whimpering sound, spinning in place, hesitant, and seemed quite restless.

Zhenjin gradually approached it, but the black panther was still like this, as if there was something hidden in the forest in front, giving it extremely great fear, far more than what Zhenjin had given it.

For a moment, the young man couldn't help but show a solemn expression.

He did not rush to attack the panther, but looked around.

As a result, he soon discovered that the surrounding forest was darker than before. Although these trees are still tall, their leaves are pale green, and there seem to be signs of decay on the surface of the trees. The ground is covered with dead branches and leaves. There is also a cold atmosphere in the air.

Not seeing any wild beasts, Zhenjin focused his attention on the scaly-horned black panther in front of him again.

He moved forward slowly. When the distance between the two sides was reduced to a certain extent, the black panther finally couldn't bear it anymore and began to run forward.

Needle gold follows closely behind.

Ouch——!

Not far away, the black panther suddenly let out a scream.

A white spider web suddenly rose from the ground, and it was lifted up, completely wrapping the black panther in it.

The spider web quickly hung up, and the spider silk had extraordinary stickiness. The more the black panther struggled, the more firmly it was stuck to the spider silk.

Soon, almost the whole surface of the black panther's body was covered with spider silk.

A light blue spider slowly descended from the tree crown and landed on the spider web.

The main trunk of this spider is as big as a stone mill, but its eight tentacles are thin and long, each at least two meters long.

The spider landed on the web and moved smoothly as if gliding on ice.

It started to work, and its eight tentacles were like a master strumming the strings of a piano. They were busy but not chaotic, and even showed a hint of elegance.

The spider web that originally trapped the black panther was still somewhat torn. But under the spider's darning, it quickly became complete without any leaks.

The speed of the black panther's struggle became smaller and smaller. The white spider silk was like a bandage, tightly binding it between the trees, about six or seven meters above the ground.

Seeing the scene of the spider successfully hunting, Zhen Jin could not help but feel chilled in his heart.

He backed away slowly, his nerves tense.

The young man's eyes were not only staring at the spider that was still darning, but also paying more attention to his feet.

Maybe there are spider webs hidden near him.

Fortunately, after the eight-legged spider completed its hunt, it did not attack him. Instead, it followed the spider's thread and penetrated deep into the canopy of the tree before disappearing.

Zhenjin didn't dare to be careless at all, and his heartstrings were even a little tense.

Because he also found other hunted prey in the nearby tree canopy.

White spider silk wraps them, revealing various shapes.

The most common one is leopard-shaped.

Zhen Jin immediately guessed: Did the scaly-horned black panthers that were driven away by the monkey-tailed brown bears fall here?

He already understood that the scaly-horned black panther just now was afraid of this eight-legged spider. The Black Panthers encountered an ambush here and were almost wiped out. One Black Panther managed to escape, only to encounter Needle Gold on the way.

The black panther was not intelligent enough, so he panicked and fled back to his previous place, only to be hunted.

In addition to leopard-shaped prey, there are also spider webs in the shape of elk, fox, rabbit, etc.

There are even tigers and rhinos.

Who knows why rhinos exist in this landscape.

When Zhen Jincha saw this, his heart beat a little faster.

Although he only saw one eight-legged spider, there were definitely many hidden in the canopy here. Otherwise, the panther swarm cannot be wiped out by a single spider. And large prey such as rhinos and tigers cannot be caught by a spider alone.

Normal spiders hunt alone, but this eight-legged spider appears to live in groups.

This kind of change in habits is not surprising to Zhen Jin.

Just when he was about to evacuate away from here, a weak voice suddenly floated over: "Wait a minute."

"Don't leave."

"P-please...save me, save me."

Someone is asking for help from Zhenjin!
