At this time, an IGO staff member walked out of the cockpit of the plane.
"Everyone, we have arrived."
…To be continued….
Chapter 323: A show of strength, a cruel and deadly primitive ecology
"Have we arrived yet?"
The five girls were stunned when they heard this, and turned to look outside the window. As expected, they saw a sea of trees with no end in sight.
"Due to the special nature of this forest, the plane can no longer go any further. We can only take you here. You will have to walk the rest of the way on your own."
As the staff was talking, the plane had already started to land.
It has to be said that there are a lot of black technologies in the world of gourmet food.
For example, this aircraft can fly at supersonic speeds, reaching Mach 10. It can also transform and turn into a helicopter when the speed drops, thereby achieving reliable vertical take-off and landing.
Even so, the lush forest was full of trees, leaving almost no space for landing.
In addition, most of these trees are alive, and if you fly over them even a little bit lower, you run the risk of being pulled down, so you can only stop outside the edge.
After the plane landed, the five girls didn't say much, they just took their belongings and got off the plane.
"We are not strong enough to wait for you here. We will come back in the evening. If you have captured the food in advance, you can also use the detector to call us. We will rush over to pick you up as soon as possible after receiving the message. That's it. Goodbye, and I wish you all good food luck."
Although this is just the outskirts of the lush forest, there are still many ferocious beasts with a capture level of 20 or above.
The staff member did not dare to stay for long. After quickly giving instructions, he closed the cabin door without waiting for the five women to respond and flew back directly.
"It slipped away so fast..."
Watching the plane leave, Diona couldn't help but be speechless.
How could she not hear that the staff member was obviously scared and didn't want to stay here any longer.
"Forget it, leave them alone, let's go quickly. It's hard to find the target in such a large forest. Let's not waste time."
Tione said as she led the way towards the lush forest ahead.
Seeing this, several women hurriedly followed.
As a result, when they got closer, except for Ais, the expressions of Dione and the others changed, even the carefree Diona.
Because there was a skeleton of an unknown giant animal that was more than ten meters tall, which appeared in front of them like a warning sign.
"It looks like it's still fresh. In other words, a being more powerful than the owner of the pile of bones has just been eating here, and it may not have gone far."
Tione analyzed after taking a closer look.
At the same time, his face darkened slightly.
Either way, this is not a good sign.
I hadn't even entered the forest yet and I had already suffered a setback. My mood couldn't help but get a little bad.
"No, the thing that ate it didn't leave."
At this time, Loki, who was walking at the end of the team, suddenly spoke.
"What do you mean?"
"That thing hasn't left yet?"
Diona and the other two's faces changed and they asked quickly.
Loki shrugged. "It really didn't leave. Or rather, it couldn't leave at all."
"Can't leave?"
The three of them looked confused when they heard this.
Just at this moment, a canine beast, over five meters tall, more than ten meters long, dark green in color that almost blended into the surrounding woods, and with a mouth full of sharp teeth, suddenly jumped out.
"Ouch!!!"
The canine beast roared at the five women, seemingly intimidating them.
But soon it ignored the five women, turned around and came to the pile of bones, holding its head and gnawing on them, breaking the bones into pieces with its sharp and strong teeth and sucking out the marrow.
Diona and the other girls were startled, but they were relieved when they saw that the canine beasts ignored them.
"Jungle Bone-chewing Dog, a specialized species of jungle dog, likes to eat bone marrow, has intelligence and habits similar to hyenas, usually does not actively hunt, and lives by picking up leftover bones from other people, so it is relatively 'docile'."
"Capture level 34. The meat is not good, but the bones are very suitable for making soup. After grinding its bones into powder, only one spoonful is needed to make a bucket of top-quality soup. In addition, its teeth are also a good material."
Lefiya took the opportunity to take out the food detector and pointed it at the three-category beast. The machine instantly gave its information.
"docile?"
Looking at the jungle bone-chewing dog's fangs and sharp claws on its limbs, Tiona asked a question mark.
You call this beast docile?!
"Uh... that's what the information says." Lefiya was also embarrassed.
That's what the information said, she just read it out, whether it makes sense or not is none of her business.
Tione shook his head: "This is not our goal, so forget it, let's take a detour."
If it is not the mission target, there is no need to worry so much. Try not to provoke the other party to avoid trouble.
Tiona and Lefiya nodded.
Just as they were about to bypass.
The ground beneath the Jungle Bone Gnawing Hound's feet suddenly cracked open, and roots of plants broke out of the ground.
The Jungle Bone Gnawer was caught off guard while eating and was instantly entangled.
· ·········Request flowers 0 ···
The huge force squeezed the Jungle Bone-Gnawing Hound so hard that it only had time to let out a miserable "woof" before it vomited blood and died on the spot.
Then, the tip of the rhizome pierced into the body of the jungle bone-gnawing dog.
Visibly, the corpse quickly shrank and melted, and was absorbed by the rhizomes.
In the blink of an eye, the flesh and blood of the jungle bone-gnawing dog was completely absorbed, leaving only a skeleton, which was discarded on the side of the road along with the previous bones.
After the rhizome had done all this, it shrank back and the ground closed up.
It was as if nothing had happened, but the skeleton that appeared underground told us that everything that had just happened was not an illusion.
This forest once again allowed the group to witness its horrific and brutal primitive ecology in a more intuitive way.
.... .... 0
Here, hunters may be lurking anywhere, waiting for their prey to come.
The deadly ecological cycle is happening all the time.
Anyone who dares to be careless will pay the price with their life and become the nutrients of this forest.
"I go!"
Tiona was so frightened that she took several steps back.
Lefiya even hid directly behind Loki.
Upon seeing this, Tione also hurriedly followed Ace and retreated, fearing that if she got too close, she would also follow the fate of the jungle bone-chewing dog.
"Look, what did I say? That thing is still here."
Loki spread his hands and said calmly.
"If you knew there was something underground, you should have told me earlier!"
"If this jungle bone chewer hadn't suddenly appeared, we would have almost gotten close to it."
Seeing Loki's calm look, Dione could guess that he must have discovered the things underground a long time ago, so she couldn't help but complain to him.
If the Jungle Bone-Gnawing Hound hadn't appeared out of nowhere, they might have gone over to take a look.
In other words, it is possible that they will become the relatives trapped in the pile of bones.
Loki shrugged. "I just didn't have time to say it. Besides, I will definitely not put you in danger. Even if there was no Jungle Bone Gnawing Hound, I would have stopped you."
"Okay, don't worry about these unimportant details."
"Aren't we going to take a detour? Let me lead the way from now on. My perception ability has already discovered where the target is."
Hearing this, they no longer bothered about this detail.
"Well, you lead the way."
...To be continued... 3.
Chapter 324: Two groups of people in different situations, handsome for only three seconds
Since Loki has already sensed the mission target, there is no need to go through the trouble of looking for it. Just follow Loki.
However, before leaving, Loki did not forget to use his divine power to take the skeleton of the jungle bone-gnawing dog from a distance.
"Although it's not what we agreed upon with the IGO, it's still a good ingredient. It should be worth a lot of money if we bring it back to the Dimension City. Don't waste it."
"We just found it for free anyway, why not just use it to make soup?"
Under the confused gazes of Tione and the others, Loki explained with a smile.
The girls had no objection to this.
Anyway, the things were held by Loki himself, so she could pick them up if she wanted to.
After Loki packed up his things, the group set off again.
Led by Loki, they circled around the edge of the forest for a while before officially entering it.
There were no accidents this time. With the help of the map that "440" Loki used his divine power to perceive, the group took the safest route.
On the way, the group even had time to observe various plants, take photos with food detectors, and pick some imaginary ingredients that could be eaten immediately as snacks.
The previous tension gradually dissipated, and it became as if we were out for a picnic. We walked, stopped, ate, drank, and had a lot of fun along the way.
"I wonder how Finn and the others are doing now?"
During another break, while eating delicious food, Tione suddenly sighed.
"Well, there's nothing to worry about. Isn't it said that the environment over there is very similar to our world? With their strength, they will definitely be able to thrive there."
Hearing this, Diona waved her hand nonchalantly.
……
As for Su Qing's world, unlike the five girls who are having an easy time, Finn and the other two are having a hard time.
Although the environment is not as dangerous as that of the girls' group, it also does not have as rich ecological resources.
Well, to describe it simply in four words: 'the wilderness'.
I looked for water, but there was none. I looked for food, but there was none.
Fortunately, I brought a water bag, otherwise when I was thirsty I would have to resort to using low-level elixirs instead.
As for being hungry, there is nothing you can do but endure it.
The only thing to be thankful for was probably that they opened first and killed some monsters.
But unfortunately, none of the meat of the monsters they killed was edible.
When the three of them were taking a break, they tried to grill it and took a bite. As a result, they almost vomited out yesterday's dinner.
"Let's just bear with it for now. It's only one day anyway, and we can go back in a few hours."
Although he could return to the Dimension City at any time, Finn chose to hold on a little longer and kill more monsters before going back.
"Yeah." X2
Bert and Grace nodded, indicating that they had no objection.
They just had to endure the hunger for a while. When they were in the dungeon in the underground world, there were occasional logistical problems and they had gone hungry, sometimes for several days.
It's just one day now, not a big deal, they are pretty much used to it.
……
And food has captured the world here.
