Jungle Archer
The forest is becoming more and more violent.
We continued deeper into the forest, following the direction of the mountain range.
The surrounding trees were twisted even more dramatically, and the soil on the ground was even cracked by the constantly shaking plants. The wild animals that were originally there could no longer be seen.
Linsey and Green Fir continued on their way.
The mountains in front of us are steep and the ground is uneven and undulating.
It grows twisted and sprawling, its branches and leaves like knives.
The changes in the forest stemmed from an attack on the earth's ley lines.
The deeper they went and the closer they got to the attacked ley lines, the more dangerous their environment became.
The once vibrant forest.
Here, it has become like a demon baring its fangs and claws, along with the Thorn Vines extending from the shadows of the forest, turning the entire environment into a realm fraught with danger.
A gentle breeze occasionally blows by.
Besides the scent of earth and green leaves, it seemed to carry the pain and anger of this forest!...
However, it was in this place fraught with danger.
Linsey and Green Fir, however, appeared overly safe and relaxed.
The two of them moved swiftly through the forest, but the menacing trees around them showed no intention of attacking them, as if they did not exist on the ground.
This phenomenon occurs for a very simple reason.
Something about Linsey prevents him from being ostracized by the forest, and even makes it regard him as an ally, thus protecting him from its intrusion.
Green Fir, on the other hand, is a Life Scholar at the Sixth Stage.
Her unification technique allows her to blend her aura into the environment and even actively assimilate other life forms.
With a little effort, this problem can be easily avoided.
"The further you go in, the more violent the forest becomes."
"But the overall condition of the forest has not changed; it's just that the path we're on has this tendency."
"This shows that we are on the right track."
Linsey and Green Fir exchanged their thoughts.
They can foresee a future.
Deep within the secret realm ahead, enemies surely await them.
Linsey didn't want to prepare at the last minute, so she started making preparations on the way. Besides equipment and supplies that would be useful in battle...
When inspecting items applicable to the Workbench.
He discovered a long-forgotten formula for synthesis, but with a rather unusual name.
[3 Vines + 10 Mushroom Spores + 1 wooden bow = Jungle Archer]
The Mushroom Spores that were lacking back then are no longer a problem now that I have a set in my bag.
Linsey didn't hesitate and started the synthesis directly on the Workbench.
[Weapon: Jungle Archer]
Using arrows made entirely of wood increases their speed and power. Jungle Archer can also use them to shoot plant seeds, causing them to grow at greater distances or inside enemies.
[Jungle Weapon Master - (1/3)]
A longbow with unique features, reasonably priced.
Linsey took out the Jungle Archer.
The bow is carved from ancient wood, with the wood grain clearly visible, both supple and strong. Tough Vines are wrapped around it to serve as the bowstring, some of which curve and spread along the bow, forming a beautiful and flowing arc.
In addition, the entire longbow is covered with the icy blue of Mushroom Spores. They are arranged in a pattern like the veins of a leaf, and when viewed from a certain angle, they emit a beautiful glow.
"Shoot the seed..."
Linsey raised an eyebrow, her expression somewhat subtle.
His left hand is currently in poor condition, so his need for bows and arrows is not particularly strong.
However, the characteristics of the [Jungle Archer] shooting seed made him very concerned.
Linsey immediately reached for the bowstring and tried to draw it.
Snap—
The Vines and the bow formed an arc.
Linsey succeeded.
He carefully considered the situation and realized that using a bow and arrow in battle was ultimately unrealistic.
However, if it is only used occasionally to shoot seeds to achieve certain purposes, it can be accomplished with some effort.
With ulterior motives, the two continued to explore the subject.
As the Mountain Peak merged into a massive mountain range ahead, Green Fir was the first to stop:
"Linsey, we've arrived at our destination."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Linsey immediately stopped in her tracks.
He opened the map to survey the situation in the mountains ahead.
While marveling at Green Fir's quick thinking, Linsey was also reflecting on her own actions.
While the [Map] skill is highly practical, it is not a perfect ability.
You need to open the Attribute Panel to view it.
Moreover, when the effect is passive, the detection range is not large, and manual control is required to conduct large-scale detection.
"The awakened ones also need to train their own perception abilities properly."
With that in mind, Linsey looked at the view ahead on the map.
There is a low-lying canyon in the center of the mountain range. Although the huge green of the forest below is very eye-catching, upon closer inspection, you can see a lot of Red Dot, as well as a few yellow and green dots.
"..."
"There's a valley ahead, and quite a few people are in there."
Linsey and Green Fir communicated.
The two of them resumed their actions, tacitly slowing their pace and lowering their voices to avoid revealing their presence as much as possible.
Green Fir even used her skills to blend Linsey's and her own scent into the environment.
If not for direct visual inspection, they would be like mud scattered throughout the forest, completely undetectable.
At this moment, the enemy is in the open while we are in the dark.
Even if a battle breaks out, we must make good use of this advantage!
The two continued to venture deeper into the mountains.
The Essence reaction is more intense here.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the sunlight could hardly penetrate the thick cloud layer.
Besides the towering trees that have been affected, even the Vines have twisted and coiled like giant pythons.
Linsey reached the edge of the valley today and peered into it.
The first thing that catches the eye is a desolate canyon.
Just as Green Fir sensed, this was a secret realm, and the density of the Essence in the air far exceeded that of the two secret realms Linsey had seen.
But contrary to this environment.
The valley was filled with tree roots that had been cut down and were now exposed on the ground.
Vines, shrubs, and sharp thorns have all been cleared away.
The hostility of the forest influences all plants to launch attacks against humans.
The awakened humans who arrived here first naturally cleaned the place up to ensure their own safety.
Let's move our gaze forward.
Inside the canyon is a clear, calm lake with a small island faintly visible in the center.
A light white mist filled the valley.
Although it's not so dark that you can't see your hand in front of your face.
However, being so far away also prevented Linsey and Green Fir from seeing the situation on the island in the lake.
"..."
Linsey raised an eyebrow, preparing to continue investigating the situation and even considering digging a Secret Tunnel.
But just before he took action.
Green Fir suddenly spoke up:
"Linsey, carefully sense the Essence here."
"Familiarity with the forces of nature itself will help you gain control over the Life Source Material!"
