Magic Punk

Xuan Yi staggered and found that his eyes were almost completely dark.

He closed his eyes in the huge dizziness, knelt down on one knee, stabilized his body, and then almost at the same time, he pulled out the dagger on his right leg and pulled out the pistol from the holster with his left hand.

He held his breath, adjusted the rhythm of his body to the lowest level, imagined himself as a stone or a wooden stake, and at the same time quickly analyzed the current situation in his mind.

The surroundings are very quiet, with only the slightest sound of wind and insects, and the rustling of leaves is like spring silkworms eating mulberry trees in my ears.

The temperature is suitable, roughly around 20°C, and the humidity is on the high side, but acceptable.

There is a stale smell of decaying vegetation in the mouth and nose, but there is also the fragrance of fresh leaves, flowers and fungi.

It was soft underfoot, and judging from the touch, it was a layer of rotten leaves. The thickness was unknown, but it was definitely no less than one meter.

Are you in the forest? Xuan Yi asked himself secretly. There were no abnormal sounds or airflows around him, so he roughly judged that he was safe. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he did not want to take the risk of shooting. Although the power of the firearm was no less than that of Zhizhijing Buhuo's attack, after all, the sound was too loud and not enough. Concealment, shooting means exposure. Not to mention that he hasn't had time to install a silencer, even if Xuan Yi is installed, he is not willing to shoot rashly.

Because he needs to live, live at all costs, because only living people can do what he will do next.

Xuan Yi opened his eyes and found that things were just as he thought.

This is a forest, a dense forest, and it is a primeval forest that has probably not been visited by humans for tens of thousands of years or hundreds of thousands of years.

Those unattainable ancient trees in the sky are connected to each other, and the criss-crossing branches block all the light from the sky, so that Xuan, who was teleported here from the land of light, subconsciously thought that this place was pitch black.

However, the truth is very simple, it's just because it's too dark.

As his eyes gradually adapted to the light in the forest, Xuan Yi once again confirmed that he was the only one here.

Even though he, Jiu San and the young master set out in the same teleportation formation, in the end those in charge still chose to separate each other.

Xuan Yi thought this, and then took off the heavy backpack on his back.

This is a huge canvas backpack, weighing a full seventy-five kilograms. Carrying such a heavy backpack is naturally not conducive to movement, but in terms of carrying supplies into this cruel trial, it is undoubtedly an excellent one. s Choice.

After Xuan Yi opened his backpack, he ignored the other piles of supplies and looked directly at the glowing scroll on the top - the text in this scroll will only be displayed after entering the specified venue to further explain. The tasks and introduction of this trial.

He took out the scroll and unfolded it on the spot, carefully read and memorized the words in it. This is the only information provided by the superiors. You only need to remember and follow it.

Xuan nodded, memorizing all the words in it, then rolled up the scroll again, pressed lightly on the two shafts, and the scroll shrunk into a small wooden sign.

However, the young man's expression was not relaxed, but became more solemn.

"I didn't expect it to be an open mission."

Saying this, Xuan Yi's hands were not idle. He took out the supplies from the backpack one by one and quickly sorted them into categories. The useful ones were put into a smaller backpack, and the useless ones were put back into the big backpack. .

Because the boy did not know the specific location and environment before setting off, the supplies he carried were prepared to adapt to all-weather and all-terrain conditions. Once he entered and confirmed the environment, he would only choose and carry the supplies he needed.

Not long after, Xuan Yi completed the screening of supplies. After the reduction, the supplies were only 27 kilograms. Using a special backpack can ensure fast enough movement. Then Xuan Yi used the engineer shovel he carried to quickly dig through the rotten leaves of the forest. Dig out a huge cavity, carefully wrap the large backpack in waterproof plastic paper, put it into the cavity, and then bury it carefully to avoid leaking traces.

It's like a cat covering up its own poop.

After doing all this, Xuan Yi came to an ancient tree, inserted his hands into the hard trunk with ease, and then crawled on the ancient tree like an ape.

Under normal circumstances, except for the legendary ancient tree of life of the elves, most other tree species would not exceed two hundred meters. However, Xuan Yi increasingly discovered that this forest was unusual. He had crawled along the trunk for more than two hundred meters. At a height of fifty meters, although the diameter of the tree trunk is visibly reduced to the naked eye, if you look upwards, you still can't find the end of this ancient tree.

Xuan Yi also found some other animals living on the branches during the climb. Whether they were birds or small squirrels and monkeys, Xuan Yi had seen introductions to them in classics, and they were all worth a lot of money after being hunted down.

But this is not the first priority.

Xuan Yi climbed up, and finally after five hundred meters, his field of vision gradually became brighter and wider. His face was already covered with beads of sweat, but the fine sweat dropped like a drop of water after it came into contact with the tights on his body. It dries up quickly like a desert, but at his ankles, there is a trickle of clear water flowing down, like a bunch of rain falling from the sky.

Finally, at a height of about 550 meters, Xuan Yi climbed to the end of the ancient tree. The branches there were no thicker than a wrist. The young man's body swayed obviously when he stood on it, but Xuan Yi walked lightly on the branches. Finally, he sat down near the edge, then took out a bottle of water from his backpack and drank it in one gulp.

When the boy drank this bottle of water, the sweat glands all over his body seemed to start working again. A fountain of sweat emerged from his limbs, and then flowed down along the channels in the tights to his ankles.

Xuan Yi stood at an altitude of 550 meters and looked into the distance. He saw the endless forest sea.

Thousands of meters away, 10,000 meters away, even 100,000 meters away, there were towering ancient trees as far as the eye could see, and huge and terrifying birds flashed past in the distance. Xuan Yi's eyes suddenly shrank.

Although his authority was not enough to inquire about the information above Dongxuan, with intuition, Xuan Yi had determined that it was the legendary god-like existence.

The wind was strong at the top of the forest, and the branches under his buttocks were even thinner, but Xuan Yi's body was swaying with the branches as a whole. His position was far from the height of the forest, but it was enough to see the sun.

And finding the sun is enough.

The young man reached back and rubbed it in his backpack, then took out a small and exquisite sextant, then sat on a branch and operated it calmly but quickly, although he had never been here and did not know where it was.

But as long as he confirms the longitude and latitude of this place, combined with the world map that has been imprinted in his mind, he can roughly determine where this place is.

The operation of the sextant is not cumbersome. What is really cumbersome is the subsequent calculation. Xuan glanced at the timer sewn on his wrist, confirmed the time in Star City, then closed his eyes and went through the process in his mind. Computations that are almost burned into the brain.

After a while, Xuan Yi opened his eyes, and the smile on his lips became increasingly bitter.

He wouldn't be surprised even if those big guys throw themselves into the elves' forest.

However, this place really made him feel slightly scared.

Because - this is the Forest of Death.
