The howls of the Ghost Realm echoed through the forest, and the black forest, which had been roaring like a demon at night, now seemed to emit only a mournful roar and trembling.

Luna led the group back to the camp and checked all the belongings on her body, waiting for the arrival of the Kuroshio with a solemn face.

"Is it true that we can't leave now?" asked Tian Xian.

"No one can escape after being swept into the Kuroshio, and we've already tried. Luna grimaced, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Then if we get closer to the Kuroshio, won't we never have hope?"

"Lord Divine Messenger, is it like this......" Old Kabu walked up, his face was also heavy, "Once you are swept into the Kuroshio, you will definitely not be able to escape, this information is from the mouths of some people who have survived the Kuroshio." ”

"Someone survived the Kuroshio?" Tian Xian was stunned for a moment, because both Luna, Tu Ge, and Old Kabu were very afraid of the Kuroshio before, as if they would die and live as soon as they touched it.

"Yes, someone survived...... But maybe it's only a 1 in 10,000 chance, and even if you survive......"

"No more talk. Luna interrupted him and said in a solemn voice to everyone, "Everyone, I'm really sorry, we are going to have people die here, maybe no one will live at all, it is pointless for me to excuse my dereliction of duty now, I can only say, if we have a choice, if we have a chance to live, please leave me behind, because I have hurt everyone." ”

Luna preemptively dismissed the people who had the intention of speaking, and continued, "And now, I want to tell everyone that we must enter the Kuroshio to have any chance of survival, this is the experience that those who have survived the Kuroshio have told us, please be mentally prepared for any situation, because even those who survive the Kuroshio. It's hard to tell what the situation is like there. ”

"Let's go!" With that, Luna turned and walked first in the direction of the eerie loud noise of the Black Tide.

Everyone looked at each other, and they all sensed the decisiveness of Luna's words, her self-blame and guilt, but now was not the time to discuss this, and everyone made a simple eye contact. quickly followed Luna.

When I saw Kuroshio in the morning, I couldn't believe that there was such a weird and crazy world on the other side of my hometown.

The giant tree is moving.

A black forest of giant trees as far as the eye can see moves on the flat ground like a tidal wave.

The roots of these giant trees are terrifyingly uprooted from the ground, as if countless tentacles are reaching forward, digging deep into the ground and waiting for the trunks of trees that are tens of meters, hundreds of meters, or even hundreds of meters tall to move slowly and then pull them out, and continue to poke forward......

If only one tree is so. Maybe it's just a novelty or a scary feeling, but when the whole forest is used like this like this, the madness of thousands of trees makes people's scalps explode.

It's definitely not a tree, it's a bunch of unspeakable horrors, and looking at the wriggling roots and the swaying giant torsos, at the tide of the sea that is so formed, you can't tell what will happen next.

"They're not trees, you have to understand that. As for what they are...... Nobody knows. Luna seemed composed, but the flecks of light fluttering around her fluttered uneasily.

"Don't get entangled in the roots. Otherwise, they will be tightened and inserted into the ground, which is the way most people die. Jump on the trunk of the tree first, don't scatter! If someone falls, Guli is in charge of the rescue, fat man! You have to be careful!"

The fat man was the most hindered in his movements, but he nodded. Looks quite confident, "Sister, please rest assured." ”

Luna rushes first, followed by everyone else.

When everyone jumped on the huge trunk of a giant tree, everyone frowned and even subconsciously covered their ears.

The terrifying noises heard before the Kuroshio could get closer became even more hysterical. There seemed to be countless devils screaming in this black tide of terror.

"Hell, is this a demon singing?" Hank looked warily at the huge trees shaking around him, his head buzzing at the sound of the sound.

Mo Sang gritted his teeth even more, he was a pure martial artist, and he couldn't help this kind of unconventional invasion, "I think it's like the sound of their farts, and now I pray that they will really sing for a while." ”

"Then how do you know they're not singing now and farting for a while?" the thin man chimed in.

"All things...... Well, for the better of things, I think it's probably their dead relatives weeping, maybe they're going to finish crying in a while, and then they're going to come out to meet us, give us food and shelter, and send us out of here. The fat man stood there against the trunk of the tree and said insightfully.

Everyone couldn't help but look at the fat man.

The fat man was stunned, "I'm ...... I'm just guessing. ”

Everyone smiled, at this time, it seems necessary to be relaxed.

"Sister Luna, what are we going to do next?" Tian Xian leaned over, "Can you leave quickly, we still need to hurry up and meet the Leon Grand Patriarch." ”

Luna looked at the sky and everyone, a faint but genuine warmth flowed in her heart, she took a breath and said, "We need to find the core of the Kuroshio Current, where I can live." ”

"Nuclear?" Hearing this, everyone was full of puzzlement, how could there still be a nuclear in the forest?

Luna pointed to the tree and explained, "See the roots? Kuroshio moves through this, but somewhere in the Kuroshio, there is a ground made up of fixed roots, and there is a nucleus coiled by dense roots, and those who survive have all found this nucleus, and waited in the place of this nucleus, leaving alive when Kuroshio stopped." ”

Everyone nodded, and immediately understood.

Tian Xian was still a little puzzled and asked, "This doesn't seem to be difficult...... But what if we don't find the nucleus, what happens if we stay in the tree?"

This is a question that is on everyone's mind.

Because it doesn't seem to be a big deal now, it's just that the sound here is a little too ugly, and these giant trees are not aggressive, and it is not difficult for ordinary adventurers to avoid the roots below, let alone the elite of this large group of elites now.

"Will die. ”

Luna looked at each person's face one by one with a serious gaze, "If you don't find the nucleus." Each of us will die, and after the Kuroshio Tide will always leave countless corpses in its path, most of which have been torn apart by the roots of the trees, and almost all of them are shriveled, as if they have been sucked out of flesh and blood, leaving only skin and bones. ”

Everyone suddenly felt a chill hit their necks.

Luna shook her head slightly, "No one knows how those dead people became dried corpses. But there is no doubt that the forest has eaten up their flesh, and our only hope now is to find the core of the Kuroshio, because those who survived were there without exception. ”

Mosanmo rubbed his chin and said, "But there is no guarantee that we will survive as long as we find the nucleus, right? ”

"Not bad. Luna's expression was solemn, "Maybe more people have found the core, but they are still dead, but only those who have found the core have a chance to survive." ”

After saying that, Luna glanced at old Kabu, "It's been a while since I left the Eastern Kingdom, and during this time. Has the Kuroshio changed anything in this regard?"

Hearing Luna ask herself, Kabe Sr. replied with some trepidation, "No, nothing has changed at this point, eh...... In fact, there are so few people who survive the Kuroshio Current, so I don't know if there has really been a change. ”

Luna nodded, "Then I can only believe that this is the case for the time being, and this is the only useful information we have right now." ”

"In short, everything is found first and then the nucleus is found. Hank tightened his sword. The expression was still relaxed, "Guys. Don't be too nervous, we adventurers are going to face this situation, and the worst-case scenario is to die here, which we are prepared for before every departure, so now it's just a matter of encountering a tiger and a lion turned into these rotten wood and some demons that can sing and fart, and we act immediately. Find that nucleus early, and rest!"

The crowd agreed.

Trembling and slightly excited, everyone began to search for the core that Luna had spoken of in the Kuroshio.

This is not an easy task.

The huge trees were moving, albeit slowly, but swaying quite a bit for the trunks above, and there weren't many branches on them. Sometimes there is no room for everyone to stand on, and even the huge branches are sometimes extremely fragile to break.

The strange sound in the black tide also greatly affected everyone's judgment, and Mo Sang once slipped his foot and did not step on the trunk of the tree, but fortunately Hank grabbed him, otherwise he might have been the first victim of the intricate wriggling roots on the ground.

One of the biggest problems is that the Kuroshio is so large that no one knows how big it is.

At the same time, this biggest problem also gave rise to a bigger problem, in such a large area of the Kuroshio, the trees are moving, so it is difficult to ensure that the core is not moving, it may have taken a long time to explore a large area, but soon the core moved here, and all the previous efforts were in vain.

In this case, it's all a matter of luck, if you're lucky enough, you'll be able to find the core quickly, but if you're unlucky, you may not be able to find it in your lifetime.

After searching the forest for half a day, everyone began to feel tired, their bodies heavy, and the strange sound of the forest in their minds was even more irritating.

Tian Xian glanced at the moving sun, suddenly froze, and asked loudly, "Can't we leave from the sky?"

Luna, who was beside Tianxian, already looked tired, shook her head and said, "If you can escape from mid-air, then this black tide has nothing to fear, those who came back alive have all tried, but no one has ever succeeded." ”

"Why?"

"Because once you get out of the forest, you get to the top of the forest......

As he was talking, something suddenly fell from the air, and it fell to the ground next to Luna and Tianxian, and Tianxian grabbed it, and it turned out to be a strange-looking bird.

Looking at the bird, Luna smiled a little helplessly, "See, little ghost, this is what happens above the Kuroshio, I don't know what is above this damn forest, those flying beasts, including people, will be unconscious once they reach the sky, those who survived were blocked by the branches when they fell, and those who were not so lucky have been torn apart by the roots." ”

Tianxian shuddered a little, but looking at the strange bird in his hand, his face was a little strange.

"We can't rest yet, we don't know what will happen here after dark, we need to expand the search area as much as possible before sunset, at least build a safe place to spend the night, everyone hold on!"

After Luna finished speaking, she jumped on a branch in front of her again, "It's safe here, everyone keep up......"

"Boy, do you want to eat it?" the fat man panted and appeared beside Tian Xian, pointing to the strange bird and said, "The eldest sister has already said, it's best not to eat things here, poisoning is a trivial matter, be careful and you will go crazy." ”

"It's not going to taste much better if it's such an ugly thing. Tian Xian shook the ugly bird in his hand, "I just ...... I think it's a little weird. ”

"Then let's wait and think about strange things, and talk to the eldest sister first. With that, the fat man shook his fat body and jumped forward with agility that was not commensurate with his size.

The group continued to search, but they found nothing, not to mention the core of the Kuroshio, not even some fixed roots.

Soon, the sun began to set in the west, and night was about to fall.

After a whole day of jumping and searching through the trees, and enduring the strange sounds of the forest, everyone was exhausted.

The first night was the most dangerous, and the group had to think about finding a safe place to spend the night and then continue the search tomorrow.

"Boy, why do you take this bird with you?" said Mosan as he was about to start digging a hole in the trunk of the tree, and looked strangely at Tian Xian, who was still carrying the bird.

"Yes, this is the third one. "Tian Xian's expression is a little inexplicable," I think...... It seems a little weird. ”

"This bird?"

"No, it's this forest. ”

Mo Sang sighed: "Little ghost, let's say something constructive at this time." ”

Tian Xian looked at everyone's tired appearance, shook his head and said, "No, I really feel very strange, we ...... Tired too fast. ”

Mo Sang wiped the sweat from his head, "Oh, I haven't experienced such a thing, I'm really tired today, tomorrow will be better." ”

"Tomorrow ......"

Tianxian thought for a while, "I'm here for the night today, you can sleep in peace, I'm still very energetic." ”

At the same time, Tian Xian shook his sleeves, "Triangle, I have something to ask you." ”

"My lord, I am at your disposal. The triangle flew out of Tianxian sleeve lightly.

Looks like it wasn't updated yesterday --
