Chapter 531 A bold idea to prove your guess!
Seeing Xiaolong's confused look, Chen Ming couldn't help but be stunned.
This kid, what's going on?
Logically speaking, given how powerful a creature like a dragon is, its sense of danger should be quite keen.
But Xiaolong's dull look didn't seem to sense the danger at all.
Could it be...that thing is very good at disguise and suppresses its own aura easily?
As soon as such an idea came up, Chen Ming immediately shook his head and denied it.
Just look at that thing showing off in the desert.
I just want to have the words "I'm strong, don't mess with me" written on my face.
Such a flamboyant performance was completely contrary to the idea that Chen Ming had just had.
What are those situations?
Just when Chen Ming was thinking deeply, Xiaolong suddenly turned his head, looked straight at him, and then opened his mouth suddenly!
The scorching flames shot towards Chen Ming!
? !
The experience accumulated from countless battles gave Chen Ming a muscle reaction, and he suddenly crouched!
After his body completed its evasive action, a question popped into his mind...
Xiaolong, how could he suddenly attack him? !
Could it be that the dead forest is causing trouble? !
at this time.
A new message popped up in the system bar in the lower left corner.
The system prompted Chen Ming to complete another kill.
ah?
He turned back in confusion.
Only then did he notice that at his feet, an insect appeared out of nowhere. It fell to the ground, its whole body was burnt black, and it had lost all signs of life.
At the same time, the little dragon no longer had the murderous intent when it breathed out, but was flying gracefully, as if asking for credit from Chen Ming.
"It turns out that dragon's breath was not directed at me..."
"My nerves were so tense that I even mistook the target of Xiaolong's attack."
Chen Ming shook his head helplessly.
Then he glanced at the corpse of the insect at his feet.
Although this guy is not very strong, his concealment skills are really unique.
Even he, a master thief, couldn't detect its aura.
"In this forbidden place where monsters are everywhere, it's really hard to survive without the ability to hide..."
Chen Ming couldn't help but sigh.
Before he finished speaking, he was suddenly stunned.
A bold idea suddenly came to his mind...
He slowly looked towards the forest of dead trees.
Looking at the rugged bones makes people feel horrified.
"Is there a possibility..."
"These bones are the disguise of that dead wood forest?!"
"It's like the bugs need to hide."
"The Dead Wood Forest disguises itself as powerful enough and shocking enough!"
The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed to Chen Ming!
This is why Xiaolong is not very afraid.
It also explains how such a terrifying existence could appear near the periphery!
All signs are proving that Chen Ming's inference is most likely pointing to the truth!
"If that's the case, then I have to take a look even more!"
With speculation in his mind, Chen Ming no longer hesitated.
Commanding the little dragon, he headed towards the dead wood forest not far away.
Along the way, Xiao Longfei was at the front, leading Chen Ming by twenty or thirty meters.
This can ensure Chen Ming's safety to the greatest extent.
Once danger arises, Chen Ming can directly take Xiaolong back, then turn around and run away.
As the distance gets closer.
Chen Ming felt more and more pressure.
Not only was the distance closer, the details of the bones became clearer and clearer, making people shudder when they saw them.
What's more, an indescribable coercion is really emanating from the ground and the dead trees.
This is not Chen Ming's illusion.
The oxen and horses carrying him had begun to tremble all over.
It was originally vigorous and vigorous, but now it was walking quite slowly.
finally……
"thump!"
The trembling bodies of the cow and horse could no longer support themselves and Chen Ming, and they fell to their knees!
Fortunately, Chen Ming was well prepared. He jumped sideways and rolled to the ground.
Poor cows and horses, it was too late for Chen Ming to recall them, and they had already dispersed into a ball of gray and white stardust and returned to the mount space.
Such pressure really surprised Chen Ming.
Only Xiaolong looked like nothing happened.
But the more this happened, the more Chen Ming became certain of his conjecture.
"Obviously the sense of oppression is so strong, but Xiaolong and I didn't get attacked even when we got here."
"Well...it's almost stable!"
After having this idea, the terrifying pressure had no effect on Chen Ming.
The more terrifying it is, the more reassuring it is for Chen Ming.
And as he continued to get closer, some real skeletons appeared around him.
There are various kinds of skeletal creatures, but none of them look powerful, far from those hanging on the trees.
And these skeletons, without exception, all have a common characteristic, that is...
Their bodies were not damaged or even scarred at all.
To outsiders, these signs would only look weird. Coupled with the terrifying coercion exuded by the dead wood forest, some people with a bad mentality may break their defenses on the spot because of their random thoughts.
But Chen Ming could see the cause of death of these creatures at a glance...
"They were all scared to death..."
That's right.
They all died of their own inner demons.
"For creatures with low intelligence, this kind of deterrence is indeed very effective."
Move forward despite the pressure.
At this moment, he was less than twenty or thirty meters away from the dead wood forest.
The little dragon flying at the front has already rushed into it.
Still not attacked at all.
This also made Chen Ming feel completely relieved.
"The last bit of distance..."
Chen Ming gritted his teeth and moved forward.
Finally, when the power made Chen Ming's muscles tremble uncontrollably, he stepped into the forest.
boom!
The terrifying pressure that originally covered him like a mountain dissipated like a flood.
And those densely hung corpses all over the tree, which made people feel frightened to see them, also disappeared without a trace.
Instead, there are fruits one after another that look like curled up babies.
"It turns out that these fruits turned into those scary corpses..."
Chen Ming relaxed completely.
call……
Long lost relaxation.
After taking a long breath, Chen Ming looked around.
He saw that this piece of dead forest was indeed as he had guessed, not that big.
The area is about one hundred two to three hundred square meters.
Just take a few more steps and you'll be able to cross over.
There was nothing on the ground but soil for the dead trees to grow.
"Could it be that the rewards here are those fruits?"
Chen Ming dug out a gravel from the soil at his feet, weighed it twice, and then threw it at a shorter fruit.
"Whoosh!"
Accurate hit!
As a thief, his skill with hidden weapons is quite impressive.
The fruit fell immediately after being hit.
Without Chen Ming's instructions, the little dragon swooped out, easily caught the fallen fruit, then rushed back to Chen Ming like a puppy and put the fruit into his hand.
"Okay, okay!" Chen Ming patted Xiaolong's head lovingly, and at the same time looked at the fruit in his hand...
