A Guide to Surviving the Mysterious Dungeon and the Twelve Talismans

Even a fifth-order being could hold them off for a short while.

This device was purchased from the Three-Eyed Clan after the three royal families were exiled here, having spent nearly a third of their fortunes.

Not only does it offer extremely wide protection, but it can also automatically shrink and enlarge.

The area of ​​the Ghost Forest is expanding, and the protective measures will also be expanded.

However, there is a limit, which is 500 kilometers.

Once it reaches this range, Ghost Forest continues to expand outwards, but the device will no longer expand.

Zhou An glanced at the special devices and then walked right through them.

Outside, the sky was still filled with the dim blood moon, with little difference.

The only difference is that there isn't as much fog as in the Ghost Forest.

If you have night vision, you can see very far.

The surrounding area was desolate, and the ground was covered with charred gravel and soil.

There was no vegetation in sight.

A gust of wind can stir up sandstorms.

It was desolate, extremely desolate.

Looking around, Zhou An saw the undulating Gobi Desert, as well as huge rocks and other features.

Zhou An immediately took to the air and flew away into the distance.

He transformed into a blood crow, a creature that exists within the Ghost Forest.

Unless absolutely necessary, Zhou An should avoid revealing his race.

After flying for about two hundred kilometers, the barren Gobi Desert disappeared.

Instead, there was a blood-red meadow.

There are also vast, blood-red forests.

These plants are the true vegetation of the Forsaken Land.

As for the trees in the Ghost Forest, they have all been assimilated by the tree monsters.

The trees were very tall, each one hundreds of meters high, and Zhou An even found a giant tree over a thousand meters tall deep in the dense forest.

There were also mountains and forests all around, and the smell of blood was strong. Shouts and fighting could be heard from time to time.

It is obvious that there are many monsters in the dense forest.

Just then, Zhou An suddenly looked up at the sky.

A two-headed eagle, about three meters long, swooped down and attacked Zhou An.

It was obvious that the monster had taken Zhou An as its prey.

Upon seeing this, Zhou An emitted rays of heat from his eyes.

It pierced through both heads of the two-headed eagle in an instant.

It crashed to the ground without even letting out a scream.

Within a minute of it landing, a large number of strange, poisonous insects crawled out of the grass, climbed onto the two-headed eagle's corpse, and began to devour it.

A while later, two wolves rushed out.

Although it is called a wolf, it is twice the size, with extremely ferocious teeth, a row of bone spikes on its back, and flames that breathe from its mouth, making it extremely creepy.

The two fire wolves ignored the poisonous insects and began to frantically tear apart the two-headed eagle's corpse.

In just a few minutes, the two-headed eagle was devoured.

After they finished eating, they didn't leave; instead, they stuck out their tongues to lick up the poisonous insects for a treat.

Zhou An was secretly amazed when he saw this scene.

They then continued deeper into the dense forest.

According to the information provided by Shenna, the trolls lived under a giant tree that was a thousand meters tall.

It should be the same plant that Zhou An saw before.

This tree is called the sacred tree by the trolls, as it can shelter them from the wind and rain.

Furthermore, it bears sacred tree fruit every year, which, when consumed, enhances the troll race's potential and accelerates their growth.

Zhou An traveled another 500 kilometers and finally arrived near the sacred tree.

Beneath the sacred tree, there are many simple stone houses.

Many enormous trolls were coming and going.

Zhou An glanced at it and confirmed that it was indeed the habitat of the troll race.

Judging from the population, it's probably only around three thousand.

However, due to its enormous size, it looked extremely lively.

It seems that because of their survival-of-the-fittest mentality, many trolls gathered together to fight, kill, and... defecate!

The entire area was filled with a stench, and many trolls were defecating everywhere.

Furthermore, he was holding a fruit the size of a washbasin in his hand, eating it while defecating, which was utterly uncivilized.

And closest to the sacred tree is a throne formed from interwoven tree roots.

On the throne, a giant monster about ten feet tall lay fast asleep.

His size was more than three times that of other trolls, so he must be the leader of the troll race.

Suddenly his gaze fell upon the canopy of the sacred tree.

There were many blood-red fruits on it, about the size of a washbasin.

He flew over immediately.

Before he could even get close, a vine flew out from the tree canopy and stabbed straight at Zhou An.

Upon seeing this, Zhou An immediately transformed into a mosquito to avoid the attack.

The vines, realizing their target was gone, immediately retracted.

"This sacred tree is still alive?" Zhou An was extremely surprised.

He immediately flew into the lush canopy of trees.

Many vines, resembling snakes, were entwined around the branches.

These vines all grew from inside the branches.

Zhou An ignored him and instead landed on a sacred tree fruit.

【Sacred Tree Fruit】: The fruit that the sacred tree can bear after absorbing flesh and blood. After swallowing it, it has a strong feeling of fullness and can enhance one's potential and physical strength. It is slightly toxic and will cause diarrhea in the user.

Now Zhou An understood why the troll monster ate and defecated at the same time.

It's because of this sacred tree fruit.

"The troll leader is a sixth-tier monster, which I can't kill instantly, but... I can use it to fight one enemy against another." Zhou An's lips curled up slightly.

He learned from the information that there was a lone monster on a mountain peak two hundred kilometers east of the sacred tree.

It was a two-headed flying tiger.

However, the records show that a female flying tiger appeared in the den six months ago.

This creature had just given birth to cubs a month ago.

The male tiger is at level six, and the female tiger is at level five.

Both tiger-like monsters are in a state of extreme ferocity; any monster that enters their territory will be killed by the male tiger.

If we steal the cubs and put them on the troll chieftain's throne, then we'll have a good show to watch.

Thinking of this, Zhou An immediately flew eastward.

Before long, Zhou An arrived at the nest.

The nest is located on a mountaintop over 3,000 meters high.

A cave was carved out of the mountaintop, and the entrance to the cave was covered with bones.

When Zhou Anfei went inside, he saw that the cave was full of withered branches and dry grass.

Or rather, he built a sleeping nest using dry branches and grass.

Inside, there were many monster pelts laid out, which looked rather cozy.

A blood-red tiger, about twenty meters long, lay there, with a pair of blood-red wings on its back.

On the lower body of the flying tiger, there were three cubs, curled up together, sleeping soundly.

Upon seeing this, Zhou An immediately flew over, took two of the young mosquitoes, and turned them into mosquitoes as well.

After doing all this, Zhou An flew away immediately.

Meanwhile, every so often, a cub would shed a few drops of blood, eventually making its way back to the troll tribe.

On the other side, the two-headed tiger flew back carrying a troll monster in its mouth.

Looking at its tail, there were actually seven or eight dead humans strung together.

It landed in front of the cave, immediately folding its wings and pressing them against its sides.

Upon entering the nest, it immediately discovered that only one cub remained.

"Roar~~!" The two-headed tiger roared fiercely.

The winged tiger woke up immediately and, confused, called out twice to the two-headed tiger.

However, it soon discovered that only one of its three cubs remained.

"Roar~~" In an instant, the flying tiger became anxious.

The two-headed tiger abruptly dropped the troll's corpse, then sniffed the air, roared fiercely towards the sacred tree, and then soared into the sky and disappeared.

Winged Tiger wanted to go too, but seeing that he still had to protect the remaining child, he gave up.
