Chapter 1028: The Sprouting of the Sacred Tree

  Chapter 1028: The Sprouting of the Sacred Tree

  The next day, on the outskirts of French Fries Port, the Jungle Corps carrying chainsaws and grenade launchers were on duty.

  Although the wildly growing vegetation in the forest has stopped growing, the danger has not been completely eliminated.

  In particular, the wildly expanding vegetation has alarmed the alien species active in the area, causing the danger factor around French Fries Port to rise sharply.

  Several patrol drones even found large carnivorous alien species with a danger level of 60 in the forest!

  These extremely dangerous alien species were originally active in the deep forests deep inland, but now they are attracted to the vicinity of French Fries Port due to the migration of the herd.

  This situation is also beyond the control of the mother nest in the forest, and it cannot directly command a certain alien species to go where.

  At present, several checkpoints leading to the inland area have been closed, and only players and people with passes can enter and exit.

  In fact, at this juncture, apart from the Jungle Corps’ forest ranger team, there are almost no players who will explore the depths of the forest at this time.

  After all, even if you don’t really die in the game, the death penalty is enough to cause a headache.

  However, even though the official website and VM have raised the risk factor and recommended level of the area, there are still stubborn players who refuse to believe it and go wherever there is danger.

  For example, at this moment, three players in their early 20s are standing at the entrance of the checkpoint.

  The NPC officer on duty checked their VMs and confirmed that the three people are undoubtedly residents of the shelter.

  However, seeing their confused look, he kindly reminded them.

  ”The current recommended level of the map has been temporarily raised to level 40. If the player’s level is 10 levels lower than the recommended level, the insurance will only pay half, and if it is 20 levels lower, the insurance will only pay a quarter. Think about it clearly.”

  The leading player said with a smile.

  ”See it clearly, brother.”

  The other two players also shouted.

  ”We don’t need you to worry about us.”

  ”We will take care of it ourselves.”

  After hearing what these people said, the NPC didn’t say much, marked their VMs with approval, and then saluted respectfully.

  ”Go, good luck.”

  [Team: I just want to be a dog quietly, I just want to fuck a dog quietly, I am so handsome that I drop frames. (Approved!)

  After completing the map registration, the leading captain returned the salute with a smile, and then rushed into the forest with the two brothers behind him, fearing that the treasure would be snatched away by others.

  Watching the three people disappear in the forest, the officer couldn’t help but look at the brothers of the jungle corps on the side.

  ”Are they okay?”

  The guy dressed as a tin can is also an old player. He can guess what the three rookies are thinking with his feet. He yawned and said.

  ”I guess they want to get contribution points. Don’t worry about them, just let them play by themselves.”

  Just taking a photo will not add many contribution points unless you get a high-value specimen or dropped material.

  In short, you have to be able to do it.

  These people are still too young. They will come to their senses after dying a few more times.

  NPC officer: “…”

  On the other side, the three players who passed the checkpoint have already gone deep into the jungle.

  Just as the old player expected, these three young people are all rushing to get contribution points.

  Now, affected by this wave of crazy plant growth, many alien species that were hiding in the depths of the forest have run to low-level areas, but from another perspective, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

  There will never be a similar opportunity to allow so many high-level alien species to appear in low-level areas!

  In order to reduce the loss of equipment, they only brought an LD-47 and a few white phosphorus bombs. As for protective gear, they only had a stab-proof vest, and they didn’t even bring a basic exoskeleton.

  This set of clothes can be said to be quite economical, and other players can tell at a glance that these guys have no intention of returning to the save point alive.

  However, as they continued to go deeper into the jungle, the group’s hearts couldn’t help but beat drums.

  ”By the way, why is it so quiet here?” After carefully searching the corners of the jungle, [Just Want to Be a Quiet Dog], who had been silent all the way, finally couldn’t help but mutter, “Didn’t the recommended level of the map be raised? There is no movement at all…”

  ”Shut up and listen carefully to the footsteps.” [Just Want to Be a Quiet Dog] glanced at him and was fully alert to the surroundings, but the more he did so, the more panicked he felt.

  This is too wrong.

  The map after the recommended level was raised was even quieter than the previous one.

  The alien species that were active in this area had gone to nowhere, as if they had disappeared.

  Or maybe

  they had hidden themselves.

  Thinking of this, [Just Want to Be a Quiet Dog] felt his heart pounding and his adrenaline soaring.

  However, only half of the reason for his adrenaline soaring was because of the horror.

  The other half was all surprise!

  There was only one possibility that could make all the alien species in the entire forest hide –

  a BOSS was spawning nearby!

  Looking at the captain’s fanatical expression, the passerby with the ID [So Handsome That the Frames Dropped] became more and more panicked.

  He was the only perception player in the team. Although his level was only over 20, he was considered qualified as a scout.

  However, even he could not sense the existence of the alien species nearby…

  There was only one explanation, that the trouble they were facing at the moment was far beyond their capabilities!

  ”Brother, do you have a plan in mind? Why do I feel a little panicked?”

  [Just Want to Be a Quiet Dog] narrowed his eyes.

  ”Have you ever heard a saying?”

  [So handsome that the frame dropped] swallowed his saliva.

  ”What saying…”

  [Just want to be a dog quietly] grinned and said viciously.

  ”The bigger the wave, the more expensive the fish!”

  [Just want to be a dog quietly]: “…”

  [So handsome that the frame dropped] said with a sad face.

  ”Is it too late to quit the group now?”

  ”It’s too late!”

  It’s really too late.

  At the moment [Just want to be a dog quietly] said this, a suppressed roar suddenly came from the front of the crowd.

  ”Roar——!”

  The roar seemed to shake the entire forest, and even the earth was shaking!

  The three of them were startled, and before they could react, they saw dozens of black shadows rushing over from the front.

  The black shadow was about three meters long, shaped like a cheetah, with sharp teeth turned out of its mouth, like two upright sickles!

  [So Handsome] recognized the identity of this alien at a glance, and the whole person was shocked in an instant.

  ”Hunting Shadow Coyote! Level 30 alien–”

  This name was given by the player who first discovered it, and it is usually active in the mountains 100 kilometers away from French Fries Port. Because it has sharp teeth that can bite through steel plates and often hunts in groups, its dangerousness is difficult even for the Ranger Team!

  Before he exclaimed, [Just Want to Be a Quiet Dog] had already raised the rifle in his hand, and the muzzle spewed out long flames, shooting at the rushing black shadows.

  ”Don’t worry about the level, just fire!”

  Bang, bang, bang–!

  The hot metal shrapnel opened a rain of death in the forest, and hit a coyote that had sprung out of the bushes. The coyote died instantly with a whine.

  This burst of bullets was a critical hit, and it happened to hit the head.

  ”Well done!”

  Seeing that his good brother had killed a level 30 coyote, [Just Want to Have a Quiet Dog] shouted excitedly, and then he took advantage of the chaos to pick up the head and fired at the black shadow that was running around.

  However, the good times did not last long.

  The death of his companion made the coyote, who was originally fleeing in all directions, realize the threat that was close at hand!

  The instinct of the beast reminded them that if they could not get rid of the two bipeds in front of them first, they would not have to wait for the predator behind them to catch up with them, and they would have to die here first!

  Driven by the desire to survive, the leader of the wolf howled. After dodging a round of shooting, the coyotes that had been running away in all directions actually gathered together and stopped running away. Instead, they rushed towards the stumbling blocks on the road to escape!

  Looking at the black shadow that pounced on him, [Just Want to Be Quiet] was immediately frightened and exclaimed “Fuck” and freed his right hand to take the white phosphorus bomb

  from his waist. However, before he could pull the white phosphorus bomb off his waist, a giant wolf more than three meters long flew into the air, howled and bit his shoulder, and swallowed his entire head into his throat.

  Puff-

  the sound of sharp teeth breaking flesh and the sound of chewing bones mixed together, and the hot blood sprayed two or three meters high, dyeing a broad-leaved dwarf tree bright red!

  The blood stimulated the beast. The coyotes raised their heads and howled, and then turned to kill another dog next to them.

  [Just Want to Be a Quiet Dog] was completely frightened by the bloody scene, but fortunately he did not stop his movements, and pulled off a white phosphorus bomb, removed the fuse and threw it out. The

  blinding white light lit up instantly, and the dazed beast subconsciously closed its eyes.

  At the same time, the hot flames exploded in the air with starlight, wrapped in thick white smoke and scattered half of its body, and ignited its hair!

  ”Ah–”

  The hunting coyote let out a painful wail, and its three-meter-long body fell heavily to the ground. It struggled and rolled in the bushes, trying to put out the flames on its body.

  However, what it didn’t expect was that the more it struggled, the more violent the flames became! In just a few breaths, it had burned all over its body!

  Looking at the no longer moving hunting coyote, [Just Want to Be a Quiet Dog] did not dare to take it lightly. His right hand had already grasped the other two white phosphorus bombs, ready to attack again at any time.

  Right in front of him, three coyotes were staring at him fiercely.

  If they were not afraid of the sudden burst of fire, they would have rushed over and torn him to pieces.

  ”Woo…”

  The leading coyotes crawled on their stomachs, rubbing their front claws against the ground, making threatening sounds.

  [Just Want to Be a Quiet Dog] was not to be outdone, staring at it straight in the eyes, and at the same time carefully glanced to the side, trying to seek help from his teammates, but saw that the ugly one was gone.

  ”Damn… passers-by are unreliable.” He complained in his heart, and completely gave up the idea of ​​relying on his teammates to help him out.

  But at this moment, the situation seemed to have taken a turn for the better.

  The three coyotes who were confronting him suddenly seemed to have smelled the breath of danger, their hair stood up, and they retreated a few steps with roars.

  Then, without any warning, they turned around and rushed back into the bushes behind them.

  After confirming that the rustling sound had really gone away, [Just Want to Be a Quiet Dog] breathed a sigh of relief and let go of his tense nerves.

  ”Damn… I’m so unlucky today.” He

  actually encountered a herd of migrating beasts, and they were coyotes!

  But what puzzled him was what on earth made these wild dogs that dared to bite even armored vehicles so scared.

  Just when he was confused, the earth-shaking roar sounded again.

  What was different from the past was that a hot gust of wind blew along with the roar.

  The hot air flow was like the breath of some giant beast, which made him, who had just relaxed, tense his nerves again in an instant. He pulled out two white phosphorus bombs and turned around.

  However, the moment he turned around, he was stunned on the spot as if he had been struck by lightning.

  It was a lizard about five or six stories high.

  It was covered with colorful scales, and its two huge eyes were like the dial of a clock tower.

  It stood up halfway in the forest like Godzilla, and every inch of its scales exuded a suffocating pressure!

  ”What is this…?!”

  [Just Want to Be a Quiet Dog] was completely dumbfounded, and for a moment he even forgot to use VM to record this shocking moment.

  The lizard didn’t seem to see him, but just took slow steps forward. As he took steps forward, the whole forest shook like an earthquake.

  But at this moment, the lizard seemed to have received a call from a certain voice, and did not continue to move forward, but turned around on the spot. It didn’t matter

  if it didn’t turn around, but twisted its big butt, and its tail as thick as a bucket suddenly swept like a long whip, sweeping through the hundreds of meters wide forest in an instant.

  ”Wow–”

  [Just Want to Be a Quiet Dog] didn’t have time to react, and didn’t even have time to scream, and was thrown away by the devastating tail, and disintegrated in the air along with countless flying woods.

  At the same time, [So Handsome], who dug a foxhole on the spot and pressed his head against the ground, managed to survive.

  He didn’t know what he was thinking at the time. When he saw the fleeing beasts, the first thing he thought of was not to open fire, but to find a place to hide instinctively.

  Whether it was because of cowardice or because of his perception attribute, he survived by chance.

  Looking at the mess around him, his eyebrows twitched violently.

  ”Oh my god… Is this a typhoon?!”

  He smacked his tongue and raised his head, but held his breath for a moment.

  I saw a huge lizard standing in the middle of the messy forest, with its crown-shaped head emitting colorful light under the afternoon sun. With

  such a huge size, if you put Garbage in front of it, it might look like an ant!

  Dragon lizard!

  The word “cool to the point of dropping frames” instantly emerged in [cool to the point of dropping frames]’s mind.

  He raised his shaking hands, held the headset with a camera function beside his ear, took several photos of the incredible creature in a row, and then uploaded them to VM.

  Data archive.

  Alien naming…

  Done!

  Looking at the “Named Successfully” pop-up window on the VM screen and the huge reward for unlocking the illustrated book, [cool to the point of dropping frames] finally breathed a sigh of relief. This adventure was worth it.

  This level of creatures is probably not something that a single player can hunt, and the alliance might have to use strategic weapons.

  Just as [Handsome to the point of dropping frames] patted the mud off his pants and was about to slip away from the vicinity, he was soon shocked by the scene in front of him.

  Just behind the crooked forest, a towering giant tree stood in the center of the forest!

  It didn’t seem to be a single tree, but many trees of different species growing together!

  It was the only one in the entire forest that was taller than the huge lizard.

  What surprised him even more was yet to come.

  The huge dragon lizard came close to the towering giant tree.

  It was like the latter’s child, lowering its cockscomb-like head and nestling beside the latter, licking the roots of the tree with its forked tongue tip, and making snoring sounds from its constantly rising and falling cheeks.

  Looking at the incredible scene, [Handsome to the point of dropping frames] was speechless for a moment.

  He suddenly remembered a post he had read on the official website forum.

  That was what Ye Shiba wrote about the planet Gaia in the Alpha Centauri system.

  This giant tree seemed familiar…

  He came to his senses and his eyes widened in an instant.

  ”Fuck…”

  Could this be…

  the sacred tree of the Doma people? !

  It was actually replicated on Earth!
