Down the mountain, the Black-tailed Swallow Legion.
Several survivors were busy tending to the injured.
Two [Light Beetle Transports] lay shattered in pieces, their parts scattered everywhere.
Yan Gang frowned as he looked at the scene.
His team had just entered the forest area. Before they could even reach the mountain, a giant snail suddenly rolled down from it.
It smashed two [Light Beetle Transports] and injured over a dozen people.
"Damn it, I remember someone saying that snails are herbivores and don't attack survivors, right?"
Yan Gang cursed.
The adjutant beside him nodded, took out a pen and notebook, and quickly recorded as he said,
"In the apocalypse, these monsters are all passed down through the experiences of survivors, and there will definitely be many limitations."
"For example, survivors have insufficient knowledge of these monsters and only see one side, not the other."
"Take the snail rolling down the mountain, for instance. No one has ever recorded that."
Yan Gang nodded. Indeed, the skills and temperaments of monsters relied on the oral accounts of survivors, and the accuracy was bound to have deviations.
"Then what are you recording?"
Yan Gang asked curiously.
"It's rare for us to have the opportunity to enter the dense forest area. It is said that this area covers over 80% of the life forms in the current ecosystem."
"I'm recording everything I see and hear, including the skills and habits of the creatures I encounter."
"Our Black-tailed Swallow Legion is destined to end the apocalypse. These materials, after repeated cycles of organization and improvement, will definitely help our Black-tailed Swallow Legion achieve its great cause!"
The adjutant's eyes flickered with idealism.
"Yes, record them well. Our Legion Commander and the other prodigies from various legions will awaken soon. After we climb Tianlu Mountain, we'll go to welcome the Legion Commander."
"I will personally report your excellent idea to the Legion Commander! I'll make sure to give you credit!"
Yan Gang said with a smile, patting the adjutant's shoulder.
"Yes, thank you, Deputy Legion Commander!"
The adjutant was greatly encouraged by Yan Gang's words and quickly recorded in his notebook:
Pseudo Rock Snail, slow-moving, occasionally attacks survivors!
Attack method: Rolls down from heights rapidly, dealing astonishing damage!
After a simple hemostasis and bandaging for the injured, the team continued on their way.
After all, they were all evolved beings with strong regenerative abilities.
As long as the wound was not continuously bleeding and tearing, it would scab over and heal quickly.
Therefore, even without a military doctor, simple first aid could treat the wounds.
Along the way, they encountered various strange creatures, but apart from the snail incident, they did not encounter any other dangers.
Yan Gang was secretly pleased.
In fact, he was following behind Zhang Chen, planning to pick up the leftovers.
He knew Zhang Chen was very powerful and had no intention of confronting him.
He just followed from a distance, ensuring Zhang Chen didn't notice him while also giving Zhang Chen enough time to deal with the dangers ahead.
This journey could be considered a smooth ride.
The dense forest seemed very dangerous, but as long as they followed Zhang Chen, no danger would reach them!
This method of entering the dense forest almost without injury was a golden opportunity!
Soon, the team began to climb the mountain, and the surrounding forest became denser, blocking out the sky.
A chilling cold emanated from the surroundings.
However, there was still no danger.
After advancing for another tens of minutes, they suddenly discovered a dense area of fruit trees.
"Look, it's wild fruit!"
"Wow, so many wild apples, and they're so big!"
"Heavens, even one of these would be worth a fortune on the black market!"
"We're rich, we're really rich!"
Yan Gang frowned as he looked at the apples, saying,
"Don't touch anything. Even if we put these things in our rings, they won't show if they're poisonous unless someone has tried them!"
"If these fruits were truly safe, Zhang Chen would have already cleared them out. Would he leave them for us?"
"Absolutely do not touch them. They might be poisonous!"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately calmed down.
Indeed, Zhang Chen wouldn't leave so many wild apples behind. He could take them all.
Everyone looked at the apples hanging overhead. Although they were salivating, they could only force themselves to endure.
No matter how valuable these things were, they weren't worth risking their lives for.
"Deputy Legion Commander, a mushroom forest has been found ahead that has been cut down!"
A scout quickly ran back to report.
"A mushroom forest that has been cut down?"
Yan Gang hurriedly led his men over.
As expected, they saw a patch of pink mushrooms that had been cut down.
It seemed his choice was correct. The danger had been easily resolved by Zhang Chen.
He hadn't lost a single soldier!
Yan Gang looked around and suddenly realized that it wasn't just the mushroom forest that had been cut down!
Even the sturdy mutated plants over a hundred meters tall around it had been cut in half.
The originally pitch-black forest instantly revealed a path of light.
This attack looked as if the entire dense forest had been cleaved open by a giant axe.
"This... this is... man-made power?"
Yan Gang felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the scene. His palms and soles broke out in a cold sweat.
Yan Gang had only seen such terrifying destructive power during the battles between mutated level VII or higher horrors.
He never expected humans could unleash such destructive power... and it was from a轮回者 (reincarnator) who was in a later cycle than him...
If this strike hadn't been aimed at the dense forest, but at them...
They would probably all be dead!
"Deputy Legion Commander, look over there. It seems like the sky is darkening! Could it be that the biological energy storm is coming?"
The adjutant suddenly said, looking at the gloomy sky in the distance.
"Hmm?"
Yan Gang followed the adjutant's gaze.
He saw a black tornado in the distance, mixed with branches and even some terrestrial creatures, slowly moving.
"Normally, tornadoes don't appear in dense forest areas... Could this tornado also be man-made?!"
Yan Gang felt his brain was a bit oxygen-deprived.
He was no longer sure if following behind someone as terrifyingly powerful as Zhang Chen was the right decision...
What if Zhang Chen accidentally unleashed a skill backwards?
His entire legion might be wiped out in an instant...
At this moment, some light pink dust slowly began to fall from the sky...
"What is this?"
"It smells very pleasant..."
"Hey, look, there are women in the forest!"
"Really, I see them too, and not just one!"
Yan Gang frowned. What women?
But after a moment, he suddenly saw a beautiful long-haired woman slowly walking towards him...
What... what is going on?
