Chapter 70 Agility Increase
The night attack on the Nightmare Organization did not consume too much of Yu Ke's physical strength.
Relying on the Heart of the Wilderness, he was full of energy after a night's rest and set out again.
However, Yu Ke's journey this time was not as smooth as yesterday.
The most intuitive manifestation of going deep into the Mirror Lake Forest is the sudden increase in the density of ferocious beasts along the way.
During the approximately three and a half hours of journey, Yu Ke and the Shocked Deer could detect the traces or breath of ferocious beasts almost every ten minutes.
Although there was no direct conflict most of the time, the ferocious beasts hiding in the dark would leave after observing for a while, but the long-term concentration and tense body consumed Yu Ke's physical energy all the time.
Occasionally, he would encounter those particularly ferocious beasts, and they would rush over and attack without saying a word after encountering them.
Yu Ke would of course not retreat in this regard. He took turns with the sharp tooth bow and arrow and the Leviathan axe, beheading several ferocious beasts in a row, full of murderous spirit.
Unfortunately, most of these beasts are not special individuals that can be recognized by the trophy characteristics. Only two relatively powerful beasts contributed two agility enhancements (white). I don’t know if you need to collect all three to synthesize the agility enhancement (blue).
According to past experience, the same type of trophies will not be calculated separately, but will be directly integrated into one item for stacking.
For example, the two white agility enhancements just obtained.
Before upgrading and blue, it will only appear as a single agility enhancement (white) in the trophy characteristics, but the enhancement strength will continue to increase until it breaks through the shackles and completes the upgrade.
The blue quality strength enhancement obtained by hunting Wen Diego was accumulated by a large amount of strength enhancement (white).
From white to blue, it can be said to be a qualitative improvement.
Yu Ke barely managed to withstand such high-intensity battles along the way with his own strength, but the frightened deer was about to reach its limit.
Even if it has undergone a mutation, the frightened deer is just a beast living on the outskirts of the Mirror Lake Forest.
It was not the King of Shocked Horned Deer who had entered the extraordinary realm. If it had not been for Yu Ke, it would have been eaten by various beasts halfway through.
After a long journey and continuous battle shocks, Yu Ke could clearly feel the weakness of the Shocked Horned Deer.
This would not work.
The Shocked Horned Deer was not a consumable, it was a manifestation of the King of Shocked Horned Deer's trust in Yu Ke.
Fortunately, Yu Ke did not intend to ride it all the time to find Pandora.
Pandora was hidden somewhere in the Mirror Lake Swamp, and the forest area where the swamp was located was densely covered with water networks, which was not suitable for the Shocked Horned Deer to travel.
There was no choice before, and now the folding airboat obtained last night is undoubtedly a better choice.
Therefore, before entering the swamp area, Yu Ke took the Shocked Horned Deer to the nearest camping site of the Forest Defense Bureau and placed it there. In order to prevent infection, Yu Ke also left enough water and food for it, and came back to pick it up after the incident was over.
Yu Ke, who became a lone traveler, did not continue to stay on the ground in the forest, but chose to move among the high branches.
The reason for doing so is very simple.
Near the Mirror Lake, the abundant water source has caused obvious changes in the forest environment.
The shrubs and ferns are particularly lush, not to mention blocking the view, the ground soil has obviously become soft, and it is more difficult to move. More importantly, even in this deep winter, the number of insects has not decreased.
Yu Ke does not want to entangle with a group of palm-sized, strange-shaped mosquitoes. God knows whether there are Pandora-infected creatures among them, or it is safer to stay in the branches dozens of meters high.
Put the original backpack on the chest and carry the box with the folding airship equipment on the back.
With the two agility enhancements he just got, Yu Ke dodges and moves in the high altitude of the dense forest. While trying to avoid fighting as much as possible, he is also paying attention to the route map on the watch and constantly correcting his direction.
You must know that the suspected hiding point No. 3 is not an accurate coordinate.
Based on Pandora's characteristics and the infection status of the deep environment of Jinghu Forest, the Forestry Bureau identified five suspected hiding places.
The reason why it is "suspected" is that Pandora may be hiding in it, or she may not be.
Yu Ke needs to search for the specific situation in person.
In fact, this is also the main reason why the Forestry Bureau handed the route map to him through Ansai Li. The former does not have enough manpower to investigate all suspected hiding places, and there is not enough time.
Near noon.
Yu Ke arrived at the destination smoothly.
Choose a branch that is thick enough to stay temporarily, unload the folding airboat, and take out biscuits and water from the backpack to replenish physical strength.
At the same time, Yu Ke is also observing the environment of the suspected hiding place No. 3.
It has to be said that the judgment of the Forestry Bureau is indeed not groundless.
The situation in this area is very different from the forest environment that Yu Ke saw along the way. It has become a rainforest swamp.
The suspected hiding place No. 3 is located on the edge of the southwest corner of Jinghu Water Marsh.
The forest was still very dense, but the bottom of the trees had been completely covered by the swamp.
Looking down from where Yu Ke was now, what came into view was a large dark green pool covering the forest floor.
Even though there are still sporadic snowflakes falling from the sky and blending into the deep pool, the vegetation is still growing very lush. Ferns, vines and even various strange aquatic plants grow in it, forming a unique ecological environment around the roots of the giant trees.
The animals in the area are also affected by the environment, and their limbs are alienated. Yu Ke can see lizards the size of calves wandering in the water. Their tails have become fish tails and their movements are extremely agile.
The vitality here can already ignore the changes of seasons, which shows the power of the Mirror Lake.
With this thought, Pandora's ultimate purpose of hiding in the Mirror Lake is obvious.
To some extent, the Mirror Lake is the lifeblood of the entire Mirror Lake Forest. If Pandora completely pollutes the water, then the entire Mirror Lake Forest will inevitably be affected in the future. It will control the forest and even every living thing in it in this way.
Turning his sight to the distance, through the gaps between the trees, Yu Ke could see the branch of the water in the forest. Later, he would move forward along the water network, looking for Pandora's traces while moving closer to the core area of Mirror Lake Water.
As for how to find Pandora.
It's very simple. Use the detection tools to test the water quality every certain distance, and judge how far away you are from Pandora according to the degree of infection.
The search process may take some time, but it is also the most effective method at present.
After eating and drinking, Yu Ke came to the vicinity of the branch of the water.
Unpack the box containing the folding airboat and supporting equipment, and start assembling it on the spot.
The folding airboat prepared by the hunting group for exploring Mirror Lake Water is not small in size. It is restored by the inflatable device. The overall shape is U-shaped, 2 meters wide and 6.5 meters long, enough to accommodate three to five people, more than enough to carry Yu Ke.
In addition, the material of this airboat was carefully selected by the hunting team leader. As long as you don't shoot it with a gun, it is difficult for ordinary debris in the water to cause damage to it. In addition, kinetic energy equipment can be installed.
As long as you learn how to operate it, you don't even need to use a paddle.
The subsequent plot is very important, so I'm a little stuck. This chapter has fewer words.
There are more in the afternoon
