Novel Full Chapter 676 - 676 Strange Forest
676 Strange Forest
Immediately after, Liu Yan led Hans Wilson, Allen Smith, Xu Han, Luo Wei, and Ye Yifan, the five top-tier experts, to the Whirlwind Turtle’s habitat.
As for the rest of the area around the Whirlwind Turtle’s habitat, Liu Yan and the others had not explored it before and did not know the situation.
However, when Murong Xue and Derek Dole were exploring the edge of the Whirlwind Turtle’s habitat, they took note.
To the east of the Whirlwind Turtle’s habitat was a small ocean with many islands. To the south was a forest, to the west was a desert, and to the north was a world of ice and snow.
This time, Liu Yan and the others chose to head south.
The forest might have more fierce beasts, various precious herbs, and treasures.
After all, it was deep in the forest. They thought there would be more things inside, so they chose this direction.
Of course, if there was a chance in the future, Liu Yan planned to explore other directions.
In this way, not only would he not miss out on anything, but he would also have a better understanding of the situation around the Origin Territory.
For now, Liu Yan wasn’t too worried about the presence of strong fierce beasts in these places.
It didn’t matter if there were powerful fierce beasts. Liu Yan and the others could deal with them, but if they couldn’t, they could just run.
In any case, fierce beasts had their habits and would move within their range of activity. As long as they were not disturbed, they would not leave that area.
Even if there were powerful beasts, Liu Yan and the others did not need to worry. Liu Yan and the others would not provoke the fierce beasts if they could not defeat the fierce beasts. These fierce beasts would not come to the habitat of the Whirlwind Turtle for no reason to fight them.
Liu Yan’s only worry was that there were other territories in these places.
If there were other territories, there would be other humans and alien races. They were all here to train and weren’t native creatures. They naturally wouldn’t be satisfied with staying in place and would explore the surroundings and seek development.
In that case, they might become enemies with Origin Territory.
If the other territories were stronger than Origin Territory, they would be more likely to take the initiative to destroy Origin Territory. Then, the situation of Origin Territory would naturally be worse.
Of course, he would only know the details after he explored it, so it was useless to think about it.
Then, the six of them, including Liu Yan, went to the forest in the south.
After advancing for another 20 kilometers, Liu Yan’s group of six arrived at the boundary of the Whirlwind Turtle’s habitat.
In front of them, the terrain suddenly changed.
This place was mostly plains and rivers, but as they walked further, it suddenly turned into a large forest. It was full of towering trees and all kinds of flowers and trees, and various living creatures mixed in.
Looking into the forest from the outside, it seemed to be a deep and serene place, with no end in sight, making people feel that it was incomparably deep.
They looked at the sudden change in the landscape and the seemingly extraordinary forest in front of them and were a little lost in thought.
“I feel like this forest isn’t ordinary.” Xu Han couldn’t help but sigh.
“What, are you afraid?” Ye Yifan laughed in disdain.
Xu Han glared at him and said, “What are you saying? What do I have to be afraid of? I’m just worried about you guys!”
Although Xu Han said that, he was thinking about getting closer to Liu Yan when they entered the forest.
Although Xu Han thought he was good at fighting, he was good at ranged and area-of-effect spells. He was not as good at close combat as the others, so he was worried.
Although the people present were all top-tier experts, Xu Han knew that Liu Yan was still the strongest. There was a qualitative gap between Liu Yan’s strengths and theirs.
Therefore, Xu Han felt that as long as he did not go too far away from Liu Yan, he would not be in danger.
If he were to encounter any danger, Liu Yan would help him.
At this moment, Allen Smith carefully sensed his surroundings and said, “I can vaguely sense the presence of many powerful creatures in this forest. We’ll have to be more careful later.”
Liu Yan had also sensed it.
His S-grade Omniscient Insight was affected to a certain extent by the Wind Barrier. His perception range was greatly reduced.
However, Liu Yan’s Extraordinary Five Senses were at SS-grade. His senses had also been enhanced after he had reached this realm.
Liu Yan could also sense many powerful existences in the forest. He could even faintly detect that there were existences that could threaten him.
Sensing this, Liu Yan was secretly a little surprised. After all, his battle prowess had already reached 12-star combat strength, and there was still an existence that could threaten him. That was a little terrifying.
Fortunately, there weren’t many of these existences, and they were also in the depths of the forest, so they probably wouldn’t encounter them in the short term. Thus, Liu Yan wasn’t too worried.
“Alright, let’s begin the operation. Make the best use of the time and try to get out before night.” As Liu Yan spoke, he took the lead and entered the forest to the south of the habitat of the Whirlwind Turtles.
Liu Yan knew the Wind Barrier at night was extremely dangerous, especially in this forest. Who knew how many beasts and other living things were active at night? Hence, he had to retreat from this vast forest before the sky turned dark!
In the forest, Liu Yan’s group of six people and one beast were advancing.
Liu Yan released the Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf as soon as they entered the forest.
“This was a forest, similar to the environment where the Shadow Wolf originally lived.”
“The fierce beasts ‘senses in the forest were more sensitive.
He was familiar with all sorts of plants and animals, as well as the feces and secretions of fierce beasts.
Releasing Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf would help Liu Yan and the others understand the situation better.
In this team, Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf and Liu Yan were the strongest. The strongest two were leading the way, so it was relatively safe.
Luo Wei, who was skilled in concealment, was at the back. Luo Wei was skilled in concealment and was fast, so he was the most suitable to be at the back.
The other four people were in the middle, split into two groups, and were responsible for paying attention to two directions.
Not long after Liu Yan and the others entered the forest, the surroundings gradually became quiet.
The sky where the sun had been shining had also disappeared.
The trees in this forest were too tall. The thickness of each tree was as thick as four or five peoples’ arms forming a circle. They were dozens of meters tall, covering the sky.
Liu Yan and the others could only see the sunlight through the gaps between the leaves. They knew it was daytime, and the sky had not turned dark. The trees in this forest were too tall, so there was no sunlight on the forest floor.
Other than the trees, many flowers and plants were here, which were extremely lush.
As for the creatures, when Liu Yan and the others first entered, they could still see some small animals. However, they were not very strong and naturally did not pose any threat. Thus, Liu Yan and the others naturally did not make a move. As they went deeper, they saw fewer small animals.
It made Liu Yan and the others feel that something was amiss.
Logically speaking, there should be many creatures in such a lush forest.
There should be many ordinary small animals or powerful fierce beasts.
However, in reality, not only the fierce beasts, Liu Yan and the rest could not even see a small animal.
There seemed to be something strange about this forest.
