The Record of Unusual Creatures

Distorted woodland, a place with a different atmosphere.

There is an ecological environment that is completely different from the outside world. Stepping into it can even cause the illusion of accidentally falling into an alien forest. There are no green leaves in the woodland, and all the leaves of the flowers and trees are covered with a micro-belt metallic luster, which looks fascinating at first glance, but it will make people feel very different after watching it for a long time. Most of the plants in the forest grow tall and distorted, and a bush high in one person even grows like a flame. Under the bushes and thick humus, we can see peculiar fungi growing along the ground. They look a bit like a combination of mushrooms and moss: large lavender fungus covers the surface of rocks or other plants. This layer of bacteria has abruptly grown the structure of the umbrella cover. These fungi grow vigorously in the dark corners, but they don't know if the world is following the rules of "the better the bacteria are, the better the toxicity." There are thick leaves and other plant wrecks everywhere in the woodland. All plants grow wildly according to the most natural laws, showing a primitive appearance that is rarely disturbed.

In addition to the small, forest-associated plants, there is only one type of tree that distort the woodland: it is a tall, distorted broad-leaved tree with iron-gray bars, no branches in the lower part, and a trunk along the tree. A slight spiral of curvature grows to the upper air, and then a large piece of bifurcation suddenly bursts in a very high position, and the crown is covered with a purple-red oval broadleaf. This kind of broad-leaved trees are scattered throughout the forest, and their shapes are almost identical. Except for the difference in size, they are almost copied and pasted in the distortion of the trunk, the shape of the branches, and even the distribution of each branch. Hao Ren discovered the anomalies of these trees in the first time. He carefully observed the canopies of two strange trees far apart. It is finally confirmed that their branches are 100% identical.

Now the group is walking on the "official road" in the twisted woodland, which was pioneered by the church a lot of manpower and resources hundreds of years ago. Many generations have devoted their lives to maintaining this not-so-wide forest road. Nowadays, hundreds of years have passed, and the ferocious Warcraft in the twisted woodland has gradually become accustomed to the existence of this road, and has taken the initiative to stay away from the post near the road: this road has become part of the woodland ecosystem, and the forest has retreated on the artificial road. .

This allows travellers who walk through the woods to get the most basic security, as long as they don't leave the borderline marked by magic lights on both sides of the road.

"These trees don't have a scientific name because they are just a part of the huge creature of 'Twisted Woodland', just like the hair of a beast, but mercenaries and adventurers have given them a common name called 'spiral tree', which is quite image." Becky noticed that Hao Ren’s eyes had been placed on those strange trees and introduced them. “All trees are one, they grow together in the ground, and the surface is only used to receive sunlight. There was a group of elf scholars. It took a long time to examine this fact in the distorted woodland. It is said that the twisted woodland was the back garden of the goddess before the extinction, and the Elf magical emperor Lolissa had stolen the life factor of this woodland, using twisted woodland. The roots of the tree replicated the tree of life. But the tree of life has been burned into a large piece of coke in the flames of death, and it is not known how many similar places they can have."

"Yeah. You said before that the whole forest is a plant," Nangong said in May, the forest was full of water vapor, making the Kraken girl a lot more comfortable. "But it's such a big forest... How big is the underground part?"

"I don't know, it is said that the roots of the twisted woodland have to spread westward to the center of the blood lake of Beinz, extending eastward to the foot of the Longji Mountains. This whole piece of land is supported by the roots of the twisted woodland. Legend has it that a group of dwarf miners wanted to mine the pyrite in the Longji Mountains more than a hundred years ago. They dug the mineway too deeply. As a result, a huge black root must be dug in the mineway facing the blood lake side. All the miners were half mad on the spot—the church later explained that there was a backlog of anger at the death of the goddess under the forest. It took thousands of years to be digested by the roots of the forest, prohibiting anyone from mining in the west of the mountains. Cave, even if you have a well, you must have a church approval."

Hao Ren looked at the towering trees around him with amazement. From the surface, he could hardly imagine how a huge living body was crouching under the land, and it only had some tentacles for breathing from the body. Formed such a vast forest, but he knows that Becky should be right, because the amazing similarities of the trees in appearance are difficult to explain by other means. This is not a natural phenomenon, it can only be attributed to them. It is an organ in the same organism.

"Wait, let me leave." Hao Ren suddenly remembered something, squatting next to the niece pot, Becky yelled at the back: "Where are you going?! Danger outside!"

Hao Ren waved his hand: "Go back and go, it won't run too far!"

Becky looked worried, and Lily saw Hao Ren explain: "The landlord must have gone to the toilet, his kidney is not good..."

Vivian gave a shock: "How do you know that his kidney is not good?!"

"A few days ago in the mountain village, did you still have a urine collapse?"

Everyone: "..."

The girl’s thinking circuit has always stayed at that time and has not turned around!

However, at this time, Hao Ren had already ran outside the official road and found a place that Becky could not see, but he did not dare to run too far. There are magic lights made by the church with magical crystals on both sides of the official road. These magic lights radiate. Outside the range is still the world of monsters. He opened the niece pot behind a bush, and Peas immediately poked his head out to slap the water and Hao Ren to say hello.

Hao Ren poked the little guy's head to show his relatives, and then greeted the data terminal: "Come out and scan, high power."

"You can be a bit of a work attitude." The data terminal squatted out of the kettle and rose into the air in the curious sight of the peas.

The high-intensity radar signal began to go underground and analyze the underground structure of the forest.

"I found the unprecedented huge plant roots, so that the little girl said that the forest is one." The data terminal released a holographic projection, and the three-dimensional picture showed the situation of the twisted woodland underground. Hao Ren saw the underground of the forest. The scene is amazing: there are huge plant roots everywhere, and the roots can be seen from the forest for many kilometers. They are entangled in the ground and grow into a whole. The shape is like a squashed, all over the gully. The ellipsoid is a bit like a long walnut.

Looking very disgusting.

The data terminal commented on the side: "If these roots disappear, the twisted woodland and the surrounding area of ​​a large area will form a large hollow with a diameter of hundreds of kilometers, enough to make everything here fall deep underground, you can Imagine how big this thing is. In addition, the little girl said that it is not very accurate: the forest roots extend westward beyond the center of the blood lake. It has crossed the blood lake and grows to the crystal on the other side of the lake. The plains and the mountains to the west are below, but it may be that the soil of the crystal plain is problematic, and the roots that have passed through the dead have died and should not continue to grow."

"I didn't expect the underground part to be much wider than the ground part." Hao Ren was amazed. He was not amazed at the ancient "miracle", but he was amazed at how great the nature was - like the Raven 12345.

"In addition to the underground root system, this machine has found one thing, which should be more valuable," the data terminal suddenly said. "This forest... well, it should be the ecosystem of the whole Beinz blood lake area. It is not compatible."

Hao Ren didn't understand it for a while: "Not compatible?"

“This is the terrain of this region,” the data terminal switched to a high-altitude holographic image. “You can see that the entire Beinz blood lake area is actually a closed environment, the Longji Mountains on the east side, and the mountain people on the west side. The sacred mountain has a large rift on the north side, and the ocean on the south side. The rift valley and the ocean are more or less able to separate the ecological zone. Under this series of terrain, the Beinitz area has formed. In a closed ecosystem, the plants growing here—those detected by the machine—are not adapted to the external environment, and their use of nutrients is very strange. Only Beinz Blood Lake can provide them with this environment.”

“I can’t adapt to the outside environment at all? Can’t live at all?”

The data terminal is categorical: "You can't live at all."

Hao Ren became more curious about the **** lake of Beinz.

It maintains an ecological environment in the ancient times. What is in the lake? (To be continued.)
