Chapter 496 If You Are Not Careful You Will Die at the Bottom of the Valley

Everyone could vaguely see black objects floating in the white fog, but those things were temporarily unable to come out of the white fog. To be more precise, they were afraid of something.

After the captain of the Red Flag Guild roared, he immediately activated his supernatural power. He had metal-related supernatural powers, and several sharp metal spikes immediately appeared in his palms, and a deafening metallic "buzzing" sound was heard in the air.

Dozens of metal spikes about ten centimeters long shot towards the white fog. Everyone understood what was meant and seized the opportunity to run towards the west, but at the same time, the strange fragrance came one after another, and the earthy smell gradually changed.

"Are you sure the west is safe? Why do I feel like there's something wrong with the road here?" The hunter from the Transcendence Guild looked back at the white mist while running, and found that the white mist was not following them, but was retreating at a very slow speed.

The captain of the Red Flag Guild almost broke his back teeth. He ran while panting: "Even if it's unsafe, it's better than that damn place just now. I only know that there is still a glimmer of hope if I go west. If I continue to stay there, I will die!"

Others also had this feeling, as if they were about to be sucked into the terrible white fog in the next moment.

Dozens of people ran westward for about ten minutes, and it is estimated that they ran about 700 to 800 meters. The scenery on both sides also changed from broad-leaved forest to coniferous forest. On both sides were towering pine and cypress trees that were at least seven or eight stories high, like peaks.

Xu Hang happened to be in the team this time. He had just entered the forest and had not yet met up with the people from his own guild, but he now regretted it. If he had not taken a shortcut through the small path, he would not have accidentally run into this damn place, and would not have encountered the white fog that almost killed him.

This small team of the Far-Flying Guild has only eight people, and the highest level is only B. It is indeed difficult to survive in the danger zone. Therefore, the only thing they can do now is to follow the big guilds with more A-level hunters, so that when they encounter danger, they can at least fight for a chance of survival.

"It's not a solution to keep running like this, and don't you think the smell of the earth here is too strong? We didn't smell such a strong fishy smell in the forest before." Lao Bi frowned, his eyes fell on the soil next to him. The color of the soil was not right. Just now, there was black soil in other places, but only the soil here was red, and the red in the soil was very dazzling, as if it had been soaked in blood.

Xiao Chen couldn't run anymore. His small body lacked exercise. Besides, he was a psychic and his physical fitness was not as good as others. He felt his lungs were about to explode after running only one kilometer.

"Xu Hang, don't you think our luck is a bit too bad? How come we encounter something like this right after entering the forest?"

"You can still talk, don't you look like you can't run anymore?" Xu Hang wiped the sweat from his forehead. Although the temperature was only about ten degrees, he was sweating because he ran too fast just now.

Xiao Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head: "There is nothing we can do. We are forced to do this. If I don't run, I will die. Anyway, even if I die, I have to leave a body for my brothers to collect, right?"

From 10:30 in the morning to 3:30 in the afternoon, the entire team had no time to stop and rest. Even having a sip of water became a luxury. Everyone was in a state of extreme nervousness. In addition, they had just escaped death. If they relaxed now, their weaknesses would be exposed.

Looking at the team members, Xu Hang couldn't help but feel worried. Their team was the weakest at the moment, and the highest level was only B-level. Unlike other guilds which had at least half A-level hunters, they could fight on their own even if they encountered an emergency like the one just now. But if they were the only team left, they would have been wiped out long ago.

After walking about two hundred meters to the west, the terrain here suddenly became vast. On both sides were huge fir trees and a large number of false forsythia. These false forsythia were at least one meter high and could directly reach above the waist. They were filled with palm-sized purple flowers that looked extremely bright.

Xiao Chen took a step forward, leaning forward as if in a trance. Xu Hang was terrified from behind, and subconsciously pulled his arm. "Hey, be careful, I think this thing doesn't seem right."

Xiao Chen, who was originally a little dazed, came back to his senses suddenly after being pulled like this, but the dazed look still remained on his face.

Not only Xiao Chen, but other people in the team also had a dazed look on their faces, and they all walked into the bushes unconsciously. Some of them even stretched out their hands unconsciously to pick the purple petals from the false forsythia.

Xu Hang subconsciously felt something was wrong, and he pursed his lips and began to concentrate his mental power. He was quite strong himself, although he was only a C-level hunter, but he had been training his mental power privately. In addition, he felt that something was wrong with this place from the beginning, so not only did he not move forward, but he pulled Xiao Chen back several steps.

It was at this time that he could feel the strange fragrance nearby becoming stronger and stronger, and the floral scent mixed in it also changed from fragrant at the beginning to sweet. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Xu Hang watched the color of the purple petals in front of him change from light purple at the beginning to dark purple, and the stamens were still wriggling slightly, like densely packed yellow insects.

The most dangerous place in the northern forest is often not the mutant beasts, but the ubiquitous plants.

Xu Hang thought of the training session he attended before becoming a hunter. The experienced hunters there mentioned the great forest in the north, which was feared but also longed for. It produced many hunters every year, but it also became a burial valley for many hunters.

Although many people can hunt many mutant beasts from the forest, few can bring back those strange and abnormal plants. The truly terrifying plants in the forest are concentrated in the Valley of Death. Compared with the terrifying mutant beasts that show their fangs when hunting humans, these plants are more like a sweet trap that can make people let down their guard and fall into the trap easily.

Lao Bi also came to his senses and took it. He immediately shook his head, then covered his nose and whispered, "This smell is wrong. Don't you think it's too fragrant?"

The fragrance in the air was getting stronger and stronger, even the sweat smell on everyone's bodies along the way was covered by this fragrance, and every time you took a breath, you felt dizzy.

"The one in front, don't touch that!" The captain of the Red Flag Guild saw that one of the people in the team had completely disappeared into the fake Forsythia in front, so he glared and shouted angrily.

His voice was like the sound of a huge bell, and he deliberately exerted some mental pressure, so when it fell into people's ears, it made people feel a "buzzing" sound. Some people who were still in a daze immediately came back to their senses from the illusion of separation.

But those who were already standing in the bushes were not so lucky. They only felt a strange fragrance suddenly gushing out from the false forsythia, and then the purple petals in front of them began to split, from one or two to more than a dozen or even dozens of petals, and the squirming stamens inside turned into small mouths, and when they were opened, you could see the tiny fangs inside.

"Oh my god, what the hell is this?" Xiao Chen was so scared that he quickly took several steps back. He got goose bumps all over his body when he thought about how he was about to touch this thing.

"I don't know, but it looks like it's not an ordinary plant. We'd better be careful." Lao Bi also began to cover his nose, because this smell would obviously affect thinking ability after smelling it, and there might be poisonous fog in the air.

However, it's not just these false forsythias. On the other side, there's a kind of white flowers in the bush called "Pittosporum" that are also slowly blooming, and the stamens inside are wriggling little by little just like before. You can even see that the protruding stamens are actually extending indefinitely, and in less than a minute they have grown to at least the thickness of a finger.

Xu Hang and others were horrified to find that the hunters who had entered the bushes before had a strange smile on their faces. They seemed to have completely lost their consciousness and kept moving forward, and the stamens were approaching their faces little by little at this time.

The voice of the captain of the Red Flag Guild could only make some hunters who had not yet been completely immersed in the fragrance of the flowers to withdraw in time, but others were still immersed in an illusory world. In their eyes, there was no bush in front of them, and they were not in the forest, but in an illusion world of their own creation. What they didn't know was that in reality, those huge mutated stamens had already drilled into their bodies through their ears, noses and even all the holes in their bodies.

The stamens are getting longer and longer, and they are almost like...

"Yue, I want to vomit, what the hell is this thing? It's not a tentacle monster, why does it look so disgusting?" Xiao Chen couldn't help but hug his arms, thinking that if Xu Hang hadn't pulled him just now, perhaps he would be the one being touched by these disgusting pistil tentacles.

"This is a deformed bush. It uses its appearance to attract prey. Those are not stamens at all, but a kind of tentacle rhizomes that have mutated. Everyone should be careful, because these rhizomes are poisonous."

"I've heard that the mutated plants in the danger zone and the Death Valley are more terrifying than mutated beasts. We just escaped from the strange white fog. We won't fall into a new trap now, right? Damn it, if I had known this mission was dangerous, I wouldn't have accepted it. This is not even a dangerous level A. This is clearly an S-level mission!" A man complained while pinching his nose. His voice was filled with anger and regret. It was obvious that he didn't expect to sacrifice half his life for a little money.

"Stop complaining. The most important thing now is to figure out how to solve the problem at hand. Look, there are bushes like this everywhere nearby. If we want to leave, we have to at least go through them." Someone reminded him unhappily.

But at the same time, someone asked cautiously: "How about we go back the same way we came?"

"You're crazy. Have you forgotten how those people died just now? We don't know what kind of monsters are in the white fog. If we turn back now, wouldn't we be seeking death?!"

"So what do you think we should do now? There are bushes in front of us and white fog behind us. We are really stuck in a dilemma. We can't just stay here and wait to die, right?"

"Why don't we just charge over there and fight!" someone shouted indignantly.

The captain of the Red Flag Guild gritted his teeth and observed the reactions of the others. Most of them were now exhausted. If they turned back, they would not be able to retain much strength. Secondly, there were not many A-level hunters left. Most of them were C-level and B-level hunters. If they encountered an S-level mutant beast, they would be in big trouble.

"Everyone, cheer up. Everyone listen up. Cover your nose with any cloth or clothes that you can get close to and soak them in water. Ice and water users will clear the way on both sides, and wind users will assist in dispersing the smell. Fire users should not take action for now, otherwise it will easily cause a forest fire. Do not take action unless you can no longer hold on." After calming down, the captain of the Red Flag Guild immediately arranged the tactics. He currently cannot guarantee that everyone can walk out of the forest alive, but at least he can't let everyone die in this damn place.

The resounding volume penetrated everyone's eardrums. At this time, everyone else had perked up, but the hunters who had been attracted by the fragrance from the stamens and entered the bushes had completely lost their freedom. They could only watch as they were eaten away bit by bit by the tentacle-like roots.

Xu Hang and others also began to adjust their breathing. After all, they were about to fight a tough battle, which determined whether they could rush out in one breath.

five minutes later

While releasing his supernatural powers, Xu Hang followed the hunter from the big guild in front and rushed into the bushes.

Several A-level hunters had already forcibly split the bushes into a trail about one meter wide, and some hunters had already passed through the trail.

Lao Bi had the highest level of supernatural power among the members of the Sailing Guild, so he stayed behind to cover the team, while the others waited for the right moment to run forward.

Xu Hang ran with the team in front for about fifty or sixty meters. There were continuous explosion sounds from behind. Some people behind him screamed in fear, and some who ran slowly or were unlucky were directly picked up by the tentacles and thrown into the air.

Xiao Chen, whose movements gradually slowed down due to physical problems, looked back and saw the tentacle piercing one of them. He was so scared that his legs began to tremble.
