Hunter Queen: Killer Queen - Chapter 457

c453 Walking out of the fragrance and harmony

“Time?” Joey was a little sensitive to this word.

“Well, there may be people ahead of us. I wonder if they are early researchers in the city.” Jin expressed his thoughts.

Joey also reacted quickly. When Jin entered the tower, he had judged that someone in the tower had arrived earlier than them.

Now it seems that Kim still holds this view.

“So you didn’t see those things in the tower again when the door of the tower was opened?” Joey said, stroking his thoughts.

“Well, if the tower reset everything inside to before it was attacked, then the disappearance of those things proves that someone did enter the tower earlier than us.

Although there is a time difference, I have seen those items before, and the blood stains on them dried up not long ago, so as long as I am sure that the things in the tower have been reset, the disappearance of the things proves what I guessed. Yes.

But if these things have been reset along with the things inside the tower and still exist in the tower, then it proves that my guess is wrong. No one has reached the tower before us.

It’s just that this contradicts my previous inquiry about monsters, so no matter how you think about it, there should be a group of people ahead of us. ”

Jin quickly said everything he thought and judged.

Although it was a bit confusing, Joey understood.

“Okay.” Joey agreed directly after thinking for a short time. Anyway, he didn’t really care about what kind of secrets were hidden in the tower.

Just like Jin said, if there is really a team, or researchers who belonged to the city a thousand years ago, come in front of them, it will indeed be more valuable to them than staying here to explore the tower.

With this judgment in mind, early the next morning, several people had already completed the preparations. Without paying attention to the situation of the tower, the team once again embarked on a journey towards the depths of the Dark Continent.

The orchard is very large, but the speed of the few people is not slow. Jing Shu simply has no intention of wasting the physical strength of the few people, and directly uses the weather forecast to lead the few people to fly forward close to the ground.

With his magnanimity, doing such a thing wouldn’t waste much thought at all.

But even so, no one reached the end of the orchard before dark.

At twelve o’clock at night, strange figures and monsters from the tower suddenly appeared in the orchard, just like spawning monsters in the game. They were working diligently in the orchard, but there was no one who appeared from the tower. One person and one monster destroy the fruit trees and take out the pulp and fruits.

At four o’clock in the morning, these sudden figures suddenly disappeared from the orchard as if they had never appeared before.

“I was still thinking about such a huge orchard before. If it only depends on one person and one monster working four hours a day, it will take a long time to take care of it. Now it seems that I am naive.” There is a small square in Joey’s hand. His knuckles twitched.

“It’s a very smart approach, but it will consume a lot of life energy every day.” Liszt made an analysis.

“It doesn’t need to be used every day, and it seems that the various ‘sure enough’ hidden in the tree trunks have meaning.” Du En also gradually understood the working principle of the orchard.

The complex tree root system captures various monsters from the periphery and continuously provides life energy to the tower.

Part of this life energy is used to maintain the operation of the tower, and part is used to take care of the orchard. It can be said that the best use of everything forms a perfect cycle.

However, there should be a way to store life energy, otherwise Joey and his group’s previous actions of destroying the tower would have stretched the life energy needed to run the tower.

Based on this idea, Liszt quickly drew a rough outline of the tower and its surroundings on the paper, and added various details little by little.

Finally, I made a summary: it is a good idea that can be used to make maze games, which should make players feel very exciting.

Joey saw Liszt’s summary from a distance. He didn’t know what Liszt had in mind, but he always felt that this idea contained a lot of malice.

Especially when coupled with Liszt’s smile at this time, the dog-planning look suddenly became three-dimensional.

I really don’t know what kind of earth-shattering game Liszt, who has collected materials from the Dark Continent, will create when answering Lake Mobius.

But I have to say that Joey is already looking forward to it.

“Want to come together? I’ve reserved a place for you.” Liszt suddenly came to Joey’s side, with a hint of temptation in his voice.

“Of course.” Joey readily accepted the invitation: “But I prefer to be the BOSS.”

“It’s really a bad taste, Joey!” Liszt laughed: “But I like it.”

The night passed quickly in this slightly joyful atmosphere, and at noon the next day, Joey and the others finally arrived at the edge of the orchard.

But before he even got close, a strange fragrance hit his face.

Everyone couldn’t help but salivate when they smelled this fragrance, as if they hadn’t eaten for a long time and wanted to have a feast now.

But this feeling only lasted for a moment. After Joey controlled the weather forecast to cut off the smell, the urge to reincarnate as a starving man and just want to follow the scent and eat a meal quickly disappeared.

Reason once again occupied everyone’s brains, but there was a bit of fear in their hearts.

Fortunately, Joey reacted quickly and cut off the smell!

But what exactly is this smell? Under the temptation of this smell, what kind of scene should be ahead?

With these curiosity, everyone did not speed up, but became more calm.

However, as we continue walking forward from the point where the fragrance appears, the entire orchard’s style begins to gradually collapse.

At first, the fruit trees that looked neat in the orchard began to twist and deform, and each fruit tree looked abstract like a graffiti shape formed by someone casually spilling ink.

But this kind of graffiti can always show a terrifying appearance inadvertently, as if it has the face of a devil.

Even when passing by these strange fruit trees, everyone can see that the fruits on these fruit trees no longer look like the ripe and full fruits in the orchard, but look like rotten skeleton faces.

Pus-like liquid oozed out from the squeezed fruit, and maggots crawled on the fruit, adding even more nausea to the terrifying forest.

This nausea became more serious the further forward, but it seemed that the alluring aroma was emanating from these terrifying trees.

Because when approaching the edge of the orchard, there was a ferocious beast that had lost its mind and was approaching the orchard. After approaching, it crazily devoured the disgusting fruit on the tree, as if the fruit was some delicacy in the world.

When they are eating the fruits, vine-like tentacles will appear on the twisted trees to tie up these confused beasts, and then the twisted tree trunks will be torn apart, revealing an abyss-like interior. channel.

One by one, the ferocious beasts seemed to have walked onto a production line, being swallowed up by the twisted trees with their open mouths.

But there are still ferocious beasts coming here from a distance, as if there are endless ferocious beasts in the forest outside the orchard.

Joey and the others also felt physically uncomfortable looking at the scene in front of them.

Controlling the atmosphere to push away everything in the way, Joey and the others quickly walked out of the orchard and arrived at the edge of the forest.

Now in this situation, there is no need for Joey to test anything. Humans and ferocious beasts are all targets for capture in the orchard.

“If someone really broke through the tower, would they end up here?” Joey felt helpless.

After seeing the situation at the edge of the orchard, I thought that the direction of the seemingly peaceful orchard facing the river should not be too simple, and there might be some kind of crisis lurking there.

It’s just that as long as you know how to prevent it, it’s definitely not difficult for humans to pass through such a place.

So the tower should still have a back door for humans.

“If you are an experimenter, you should know the situation here. Of course, if you don’t know and die here, then I can only say that there is nothing you can do.” Jin shrugged.

Even if he couldn’t catch up and couldn’t find the other party, Jin wouldn’t be too disappointed.

“Let’s go.” Jin looked in the direction of the forest. What awaited them next was a forest where they had no idea what was going on. There was no time for them to think about the tower.

Joey glanced at the cliff monster that still existed in the sky, and followed Jin’s footsteps without saying anything.

As they entered the forest, Joey and the others also discovered that there were really many monsters in the forest, so many that they were abnormal.

There can be dozens of squirrel-like animals on a tree at the same time, and more than a hundred big rabbits can easily run out of the cave under the tree. It feels like there is a different space in the cave. Same.

But the reality is that this is just an ordinary tree hole.

Everything is full of magic, and these monsters that multiply rapidly like magic grow up and quickly run out of the forest, and then become a member of the group heading to the orchard.

“Where do they get the nutrients to grow so fast?”

Joey has also discovered during his observation that the animals and plants here seem to have a different flow of time than them.

Eat, grow, mate, eat, reproduce, and go to the edge of the forest to die. This is the life of an animal in the forest, which only takes about six hours.

And plants are also very strange. The seeds fall to the ground, grow, bloom, wither, are eaten, and the seeds spilled when blooming grow…

Everything seems to exist for the energy of the orchard.

But these plants need nutrients to keep growing. How can the earth provide them?

Walking through the forest, several people felt that this forest was more and more weird. Everything was accelerating. Only the ancient trees that made up the forest and them who broke into the forest were not accelerating.

Time passed slowly and night came quickly.

Joey and the others did not rush forward at night. Instead, they found an old tree and dug a hole in it before stopping.

When it got completely dark, everyone heard rustling sounds coming from the sky and the ground at the same time.

Joey and Jin, who had been observing, were already frozen on the tree trunk.

There were a lot of insects in the sky, fluttering down towards the forest, and it felt like it was raining.

While there are a large number of cockroach-like insects on the ground eating the corpses of insects falling from the sky, there are also strange earthworm-like insects writhing underground dragging insect corpses one after another into the ground.

The animals in the forest had completely disappeared at some point, as if they had disappeared out of thin air.

The only sounds left in the entire forest were the sounds made by various insects that made the hair stand on end. They were the sounds of eating food, and they were also terrifying sounds that could give people nightmares.

The voice was like some kind of magic sound, constantly tumbling in everyone’s minds and becoming louder.

Until a certain moment the world suddenly became clean!

At this time, Joey, whose eyes were red, suddenly activated the weather forecast to stop the vibration of all media in the atmosphere, so that the sound could no longer be transmitted to their ears.

Cold sweat had soaked their whole bodies at some point, and several people began to gasp heavily after the sound disappeared.

It’s just that Joey erased all the sounds, and it was pure silence near a few people.

The falling of insects from the sky continued until about four o’clock in the morning, the same time that the weirdos and monsters in the orchard returned to the tower.

As no more insect corpses fell from the sky, the cockroaches and earthworms in the forest also began to disappear like a tide.

Various disappearing animals began to appear in the forest at this time, and a few touches of green quickly began to appear on the bare ground. Plants grew wildly and soon the forest ushered in a day of vitality.

But Joey and the others no longer dared to stay in the forest. They sped up their flight speed, and even no longer chose to fly at low altitude, but took to the sky again.

The existence of cliff monsters can still be seen in the sky. Although this kind of flying will attract attacks from some ferocious beasts for Joey and the others, it is still like staying in that extremely depressing forest.

As it soared into the air, the nearby situation quickly came into view for everyone.

The forest spread to a very far place, and towering corpses were scattered throughout the forest, and those were none other than forest monsters that had crossed the river.

On the corpses of these forest monsters, there is a dark patch. If you look closely, you can find that the dark thing is the insect cockroach running on the ground last night.

They are eating the corpses of forest monsters, and are also attacking in groups the forest monsters in the distance that are still breaking into the forest.

Looking further ahead, all you can see are corpses and forests stretching to the sky.

Maybe this is the so-called Forest of Bones!

Joey had this absurd idea in his mind, but when he looked up at the bodies of the cliff monsters, he discovered that there were also some insects on the cliff monsters that they had always seen that seemed not to be attacked.

And weren’t those insects the ones that fell into the forest like rain last night? (End of chapter)
