706 Detestable Hallucinatory Man-eating Flower
“Captain, are we going deeper into the forest?” Xu Han asked. Isn’t it a little dangerous?”
“I can vaguely sense that something is terrifying in the forest depths,” said Allen Smith.
Hans Wilson suggested, “I think it’s best if we don’t go too deep. We’ve already gained enough on this trip. We should leave this forest and explore it again next time.”
“If Captain wants to explore, we’ll do it.” Ye Yifan replied.
Luo Wei said, “It should be no problem to go in.”
Hearing this, Liu Yan looked at Allen Smith, Hans Wilson, and the others and said with a smile, “Don’t worry. We’re just going a little deeper to see what’s going on. We won’t go too deep. We still have to return to our territory today.”
Liu Yan knew that when he left the territory, he said that he would return before that night.
After encountering the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flower, they didn’t return to the territory, so they went back on their word.
However, since they had gotten rid of the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers and successfully broke out of the encirclement today, they naturally had to return to Origin Territory. It was to prevent the people in Origin Territory from being too worried and making the wrong decision.
It was already close to dusk, and there wasn’t much time left for Liu Yan and the others to continue exploring.
Liu Yan only wanted to explore a little and confirm the situation in the depths of the forest after crossing the territory of the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers. Liu Yan wanted to know if he should come to the forest again.
Liu Yan would bring more people back next time if there were worth exploring.
If it weren’t worth exploring, Liu Yan would have to choose another direction next time.
After all, other than the forest to the south of the Whirlwind Turtle’s habitat, there was a small sea to the east. There were many islands in it. Those islands might be full of treasures, and one could reap many rewards by exploring them.
The west of the Whirlwind Turtle’s habitat was a desert. Liu Yan felt that it was not worth exploring.
Firstly, the environment was terrible, and there might not be anything good. Even if there were something good in the desert, its environment was too harsh. It would be troublesome and dangerous to explore, so it was not worth it.
To the north of the Whirlwind Turtle’s habitat was a world of ice and snow. The environment was equally harsh, almost as harsh as the desert to the west of the Whirlwind Turtle’s habitat.
However, people would think the world of ice and snow had many good things.
For now, Liu Yan planned to continue to choose the forest south of the Whirlwind Turtle’s habitat for his next exploration. He had explored this place once and was familiar with the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers. If the forest depths were still worth exploring, Liu Yan would naturally continue to explore this place.
If there were nothing special worth exploring in the depths of this forest, then Liu Yan would have to consider exploring the sea in the east where the Whirlwind Turtle lived.
Liu Yan could tell that Allen Smith, Hans Wilson, and the others were a little worried. They were afraid of the depths of the forest.
The five of them had made great progress in their strength this time. They had even gained a combat star level.
They were able to escape from the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flower, but it was hard to say the next time.
Therefore, even though Allen Smith and the others had improved a lot, they were still a little afraid of the forest depths. After all, they had fallen into the trap of the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers. They had been led from the periphery of the forest to their encirclement.
Liu Yan had strong spirit energy and luck in escaping into this mysterious area, and he could avoid the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers’ Hallucinatory Pollen by holding his breath. Besides, Ice and Fire Draconic Wolf had immunity to Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers’ attack. Otherwise, they would all die here.
If they were just a little weaker or had a little less luck, they would all die here.
This forest had left a deep impression on Allen Smith and the others. It made them feel fear, and they did not dare to underestimate it again.
Liu Yan could not help but smile as he consoled, “I’m fine. According to my observation, those Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers retreated into the forest depths and seemed to have retreated far away. They didn’t cause any other movements. It means there are no other powerful fierce beasts, monsters, or monster plants in this area.”
After Liu Yan’s strength had increased to 14-star combat strength, his perception improved significantly.
Liu Yan relied on his powerful perception ability to capture this point and confirm that there would be no danger in the short term, which was why he proposed to continue to enter the forest.
Otherwise, Liu Yan wouldn’t have suggested going deeper into this dangerous and strange forest. If he wanted to go deeper, Liu Yan would have gone deeper alone instead of letting Allen Smith, Hans Wilson, and the others risk their lives.
After hearing Liu Yan’s explanation, Allen Smith, Hans Wilson, and the others finally understood.
Xu Han said, “Liu Yan, I was wondering why you insisted on going deeper into the forest. So, it was because you sensed there was no danger nearby.”
Allen Smith said, “That’s true. These Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers went deep into the forest, but there was no conflict. At least, this means that there are no other creatures within a short distance.”
Hans Wilson agreed. “In that case, we can indeed go deeper into the forest. There won’t be any danger. There might even be other gains.”
Ye Yifan said, “We only saw ordinary trees, flowers, and even those terrifying Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers. We haven’t seen any other rare materials.”
Luo Wei said, “This forest must have good resources. There may be any treasures. Since there weren’t any on the path we’ve taken before, it means they were taken away by those Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers. There should be some in the depths.”
Xu Han scolded, “These Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers are too vicious. I’m fine if they led us into their encirclement, but they took all the living creatures and materials along the way. These Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers are bad. Fortunately, they ran away. Otherwise, we would have killed all of them!”
Liu Yan felt that their analysis made sense.
Liu Yan was already a little suspicious earlier. They had walked for quite a long time deep into the forest, so they could be considered to have entered the initial depths of the forest.
However, other than a few small animals at the outermost edge of the forest and a ton of Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers, they did not see any other living creatures.
Moreover, they did not see any materials, resources, or treasures.
This forest was so ancient and mysterious. It must have precious materials, resources, and treasures.
Wind Barrier often had both danger and opportunity. Since there was danger, it should have materials, resources, and treasures.
Since there were no materials, resources, or treasures along the way, it was obvious that they had been taken away by the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers!
Liu Yan couldn’t help but nod. “They were probably taken away by these Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers. We don’t know if the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers hide the treasures. But the depths don’t seem to be the range of their activity. Because we killed a ton of them, they were forced to escape into the forest depth.”
Xu Han said, “I think the deeper part of the forest is the territory of other creatures. The man-eating flowers did not fight when they went in, so I guess they haven’t encountered other creatures yet. When they go deep enough, they will encounter other creatures, and a battle will break out.”
Hans Wilson said, “I feel that the other creatures shouldn’t be as bad as these Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers. They’ve hidden all the creatures and resources in the forest, not letting anyone touch them.”
Ye Yifan said, “Although Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers are only 7-star, their spirit energy is strong. Their actual combat strength is only 4-star or 5-star. That’s why they hid all the good stuff.”
Allen Smith agreed. “Yes. If the creatures inside are strong enough, they won’t hide the good stuff on purpose. In their eyes, that’s their territory. They won’t let other creatures in. If any creature dares to enter, they’ll attack it. Hence, they don’t need to hide their stuff in their territory.”
“If that’s the case, there might be a lot of good stuff inside?” Luo Wei asked.
Xu Han said impatiently, “Don’t say anymore. Let’s hurry up and set off. I can’t wait to go in and see the situation in the depths of the forest. There might be a pile of treasures waiting for us.”
Liu Yan chuckled. “You’re overthinking. We’re just going in to understand the situation and determine if the forest depths are worth our next exploration. As for the treasures, I think they’ll only be found in the deeper parts. They’re all guarded by powerful fierce beasts, monsters, or monster plants. It won’t be easy to get them.”
Then, Liu Yan led Allen Smith, Hans Wilson, and the others into the forest depths to explore.
