Chapter 672: Twisted Jungle

It was said that there were large swamps in the Twisted Jungle. Some places in it were very clear, and some were overgrown with weeds. There were many tree holes or bird nests in the trees, and dozens of species of birds lived in them.

More birds lived on the Transverse Mountain. Han Fei had not yet entered the Transverse Mountain, but at the moment, he was rather curious about the Twisted Jungle.

In Han Fei’s imagination, a forest, regardless of how big the trees were, was nothing more than vegetation, insects, and birds. What else could there be?

In fact, his guess was right, except for one thing.

The trees here were huge, twisted, and weird. The bugs here were also terrifyingly big.

As soon as Han Fei landed, he saw a five-meter long centipede lying on a tree. Its bright red and black carapace and sharp claws sent a chill down Han Fei’s spine.

As soon as the centipede raised its head, Han Fei threw out a dagger and nailed it to the tree.

Han Fei frowned and said, “Is the master out of his mind? Why did he choose to live in such a weird place?”

Buzz!

Mu Jia’er immediately armed herself to the teeth, putting on ultra-quality spiritual armor.

Han Fei was speechless. “What’s the problem with you? It seems that these creatures are not high-leveled. They don’t even reach level-30. Do you need to be dressed like this?”

A muffled voice came from within the armor, “It’s none of your business! I hate bugs.”

Han Fei perceived there were various creatures scattered underground, on the trees, in the vegetation.

There were spiders as big as millstones, snakes disguised as branches, caterpillars with spots all over their bodies, polypoidal insects under leaves, praying mantises disguised as grass, and huge colorful earthworms!

Han Fei frowned and said, “Old Guan, are you sure you didn’t lead us the wrong way? Is this the right place? It’s all bugs, huge bugs. Are you sure that the master lives here?”

Guan Qingyan released the suppressing power of a Hanging Fisher, and many insects around seemed to sense the danger and ran away.

Guan Qingyan said, “His residence shouldn’t be more than 30 kilometers ahead. Just like the Transverse Mountain, the deeper you go into the Twisted Jungle, the more dangerous it is. The other side of it leads directly to the ocean, but no sea monster invades the Scattered Stars Island from the Twisted Jungle. It can be seen that it must be very dangerous in the depths of the jungle.”

Han Fei sneered. “I certainly won’t go deep into this damn place…”

After four or five minutes, they discovered that not all low-level creatures would escape when they met someone of power. For example, some small poisonous bugs always tried to get close to them.

Of course, they ended up being cut into sections.

After walking for ten kilometers, white mist rose in the jungle. Their visions became blurred, so they could only move forward with perception.

Suddenly, Han Fei threw out a dagger, cutting a piece of a fallen tree on the ground into pieces.

Mu Jia’er screamed. She didn’t realize that it turned out to be a bug until the black juice spurted out.

In Han Fei’s eyes, data emerged:

Black Snake Millipede

A large arthropod living in warm wood. Emit irritating psychedelic poisons to stun creatures and take them as food. Its carapace is hard and contains psychedelic venom.

34

Regular

772 points

Inedible

Psychedelic Venom

When Han Fei saw the black juice, he immediately took out a jar and filled it with the black juice.

Guan Qingyan was surprised. “Brother Han, why are you taking its venom?”

“Well! I wanna have a taste of it.”

“Eww!”

Mu Jia’er bent over, feeling like throwing up. “Why are you so disgusting? You want to drink this?! Are you serious?”

Han Fei smiled and said, “It’s not a big problem. It’s also a kind of creature!”

Han Fei’s actual thinking was that the forest was full of poisonous creatures. Maybe he could come more in the future. After all, there was still a Heaven Spirit Detoxifying Insect in his stomach. He could feed on these bugs here!

Of course, it was just an idea. He would decide whether to drink it or not when he went back!

Tweet!

When they were walking, they saw a big black bird passing by more than 30 meters above their heads. Its sharp claws held a deadwood-like big snake.

Mu Jia’er’s muffled voice rang again, “I don’t like this place.”

Han Fei smiled. “To be honest, I don’t like it either. But now it’s not a question of liking it or not. We seem to be trapped in an array.”

Guan Qingyan and Mu Jia’er paused and both looked at Han Fei.

Han Fei pointed to a stone in the front left and said, “Look, this stone is smooth, with salt and alkali on it, but it appears here inexplicably. Moreover, there is no second one around it.”

Then he pointed to a branch above his head and said, “Look again, there is a cut on this branch. Who would be so bored as to chop a tree?”

Then, Han Fei pointed to the surrounding trees and said, “The location of these trees is a triangle. We have walked the same path twice just now, and now it’s the third time.”

Guan Qingyan was in awe. “Brother Han, have you long discovered it?”

Han Fei cut off the branch, kicked the stone away and said, “We have entered a serial array. Try taking two more steps.”

Along the way, Han Fei cut here and kicked there.

Even a large purple earthworm lying on the side of the road was burned by him with spiritual energy.

Half an hour later…

Han Fei suddenly stopped. “No, that’s not right. Those small auxiliary arrays are useless. We are now locked in the master array. Where are the eyes of the master array? I haven’t found it yet.”

Han Fei perceived around only to find his perception was blocked 1,200 meters away.

Guan Qingyan glanced at Han Fei. “Brother Han, you have a better grasp of the details of arrays than I do.”

Han Fei sneered. “That’s not true. You have already carved out a combination array, but I haven’t yet.”

Guan Qingyan said sternly, “I only know those few arrays.”

Mu Jia’er tugged at the clothes of Han Fei and Guan Qingyan. “Why don’t we walk around again?”

Han Fei glanced at her. “Can you take off your armor?”

Mu Jia’er stammered, “But… But all the bugs.”

Han Fei ignored her and perceived inch by inch, once, twice… It was not until Han Fei perceived around the sixth time that he found that the array wrecking knack was on the trees.

Han Fei suddenly threw out six Blue Sea Wandering Dragon Daggers and penetrated the six tree holes in the tree.

At the moment the tree holes were penetrated, their sight suddenly became clear as the mist in the forest dissipated.

Han Fei’s perception stopped more than 2,000 meters away. There seemed to be covered by something, another array?

Guan Qingyan was astonished. “Are the array eyes actually the tree holes?”

“These tree holes were man-made. Although tree sap was applied on them, they’re still a little different from the other tree holes.”

When the three of them walked to the front…

Han Fei suddenly narrowed his eyes. He saw wheat beside a big tree!

God damn it, this was the Twisted Jungle! Where did this wheat come from?

Han Fei almost laughed out loud. Fancy finding by sheer luck what one had searched for far and wide.

He had been asking whether there was a plantation on the Scattered Stars Island.

The answers were all the same: no.

However, when he saw this wheat, he knew.

It was definitely Old Jiang. But didn’t this old man just like to lie down and bask in the sun? Why did he run into the Twisted Jungle?

Guan Qingyan said respectfully to the master of arrays, “Senior, the three of us were introduced by Mr. Beihuo of the Scattered Stars Fourth Unit. We heard that your knowledge of arrays is unparalleled in the world, so we’d like to ask you for some advice.”

Mu Jia’er added, “Yes, yes, we are here to ask for your advice. Senior, please open the door!”

Han Fei tapped on the light curtain, patted it, and then patted it more violently. “Old man, open the door, old man.”

Guan Qingyan: “???”

Mu Jia’er: “???”

Mu Jia’er nudged Han Fei with her elbow. “Hey, show some respect. He’s an array master.”

Guan Qingyan said, “Brother Han, it’s better not to be rude.”

Han Fei simply said, “Uh! There is no one inside, so I patted the light curtain.”

Guan Qingyan was surprised. “How do you know no one is inside?”

Han Fei smiled and said, “Well, he is a master of arrays. How can a master of arrays let us find his lair so easily? How can he just set up a few small arrays outside his home? If he is around, how could he allow us to get here? Take a look at the yellow wheat. This shows that we’re already at his door…”

Mu Jia’er was puzzled. “And?”

Han Fei continued, “Use your mind. If I were a master of arrays, would I let you find my home? If I wanted to see you, I’ll just wait in the small arrays and directly guide you to my home.”

Guan Qingyan couldn’t help but say seriously, “Brother Han, you’re right. I’ve figured out what you mean.”

Mu Jia’er said in discouragement, “Alas! What shall we do then? Shall we go back?”

Guan Qingyan shook his head at her. “Uncle Beihuo said that this master is unsociable and we may not be able to see him. It seems that this senior is probably not here at this moment. Let’s come back next time!”

Han Fei looked around. “You go back first! I’m going to collect some poison!”

Guan Qingyan: “???”

Han Fei smiled and said, “You know, Cao Qiu is my friend! There are poisons everywhere here. I’m certainly going to collect some poisons! You can help me collect some and then let’s go back together?”

Mu Jia’er’s head shook like a rattle. “I don’t want to. I’m going back.”

After a while, after Han Fei was sure that the two had left, he returned to the array, set up a cauldron, and cooked a hot pot. After a short while, the aroma was overflowing and Han Fei began to eat.

At this time, an opening appeared on the master array.

“Little b*stard, get your ass in here.”
