Chapter 247: Catch Up!

Everyone looked in the direction of Zhou Yufeng's finger and saw that the ground not far away was full of various skeletons.

Some were animals, humans and zombies.

These skeletons were not naturally decayed, but looked like they were vomited out by some wild beasts after being eaten. Some of the skeletons still had blood, flesh and internal organs on them.

"Sure enough." Looking at the small pile of skeletons in front of him, Yang Lin said solemnly, "It's not that there are no zombies and mutants around here, but they were all eaten by the guys in this forest."

Just as the superpowers can obtain crystal cores by killing zombies and absorb the energy in the crystal cores to improve their superpowers, zombies or other mutants can also become stronger by devouring their own kind.

Moreover, mutants rely on instinct to survive, and cannibalism is very common.

Yang Lin speculated that this may be one of the reasons why zombies evolve very quickly.

However.

Most zombies do not have the ability to think independently, and only advanced zombies have the consciousness to devour other mutants to become stronger.

Therefore, Yang Lin speculated that the guy hiding in this forest might be a high-level mutant creature, whose level should be level five or even higher.

Others also guessed from the skeletons in front of them that the guy hiding in the forest might be extremely scary, and their expressions became solemn.

But no matter what, they had to keep going in.

No longer thinking about the pile of bones that looked like a small mountain, everyone continued to walk deeper into the forest along the traces of dragging on the ground.

But the further they went in, the more skeletons they could see around them.

"How much did that damn guy devour?" Lu Peng couldn't help but mutter.

Others also had this doubt in their hearts, but they were more afraid and nervous.

As they walked along, there were hundreds of skeletons piled on the ground, even if they didn't come forward. What kind of guy could devour so many mutant creatures, and how strong would the guy become after devouring these creatures?

Song Chen's face was not good either.

He only knew that in the late apocalypse in his previous life, this forest was called the Cemetery of Death. He thought that now was only the early apocalypse, and this forest should not be as dangerous as in his previous life, but now it seems that he took it for granted.

Others may not know, but Song Chen, who survived to the end of his previous life and saw all kinds of mutant creatures, knew that the guy who could devour so many mutant creatures must have a superpower level of at least level six.

On the other hand, they.

Except for himself, the superpower level is only level four.

If you really face a level six mutant creature, you will die.

"Everyone pay more attention to the surroundings, be careful, don't be careless, and when you find He Chengji, don't think about fighting, take people and go directly!" Song Chen instructed others.

Unless it is a special superpower attribute or has multiple superpowers, the level gap cannot be easily crossed.

Although they are numerous, if they want to fight level six with level four, this number is just a death sentence.

Everyone nodded seriously.

But just as Song Chen finished speaking, a dry branch quietly touched Ji Yumo's back, and before Ji Yumo noticed, it suddenly wrapped around her ankle!

"Ah!"

"What?!"

Ji Yumo felt a pain in her ankle, and then she was dragged back by a strong force.

The force came so fast that the others didn't even have time to react, and Ji Yumo was dragged out.

Fortunately, Ji Yumo also reacted quickly. Before Song Chen rushed over to save her, she had already thrown a fireball at the dry branch.

Dry branches are flammable, and they instantly burned when they came into contact with the fireball.

What's strange is that after the dry branch burned, it actually gave off a smell similar to barbecue, and even the wailing of creatures could be vaguely heard.

Everyone was horrified by this abnormal phenomenon.

Just when everyone's attention was focused on Ji Yumo, another dead branch also quietly approached. This time it was targeting Song Qing, who was standing at the edge of the team without any defense.

"Ah!!!"

Song Qing screamed and was instantly dragged to the ground by the dead branch.

But as a member of the White Tiger Team, Song Qing was not the kind of delicate girl who had no power to fight back. She immediately pulled out a dagger from her waist and stabbed the dead branch fiercely.

However, unlike Ji Yumo, who was a fire-type superpower, Song Qing's awakened healing superpowers did not have high combat power. This attack could not split the dead branch at all, and he could only watch himself being dragged away by the dead branch.

At this moment, Yang Lin, who was closest to Song Qing, used the wind superpower to speed up and rushed to Song Qing in the blink of an eye. Then a wind blade shot out from his hand and immediately cut off the dead branch.

"Are you okay?" Yang Lin asked worriedly.

He Chengji has been dragged away and no trace has been found until now. He doesn't want to see other team members being dragged away again.

"It's okay." Song Qing shook her head.

Fortunately, the dead branches only tied her up and tried to drag her away. She was only dragged to the ground and suffered some scratches on her body. Apart from that, there were no other more serious injuries.

"Chase them!"

Just as everyone was still celebrating that no one was missing or injured, Song Chen suddenly roared.

"Don't let go of these dead branches. It is very likely that they dragged He Chengji away. As long as we chase them, we may be able to find He Chengji's trace!"

Hearing this, everyone came to their senses instantly, and immediately turned their heads to look at the dead branch that was still retreating quickly, and chased after it without thinking.

The dense dead trees could not stop the footsteps of the people, and the clothes on their bodies were scratched by the dead branches, but the people did not take it to heart at all. At this time, they only had eyes for the dead branch that was still fleeing.

As they chased, they gradually went deeper into the woods.

I don’t know since when, there were more and more biological debris under their feet, and in the back, there was even a dense place to step.

But everyone did not dare to stop, for fear of losing the dead branch, so they could only step on these debris and continue to run forward.

The sticky touch of flesh and blood and the sound of bones being crushed under their feet kept coming, which made people feel creepy.

"Stop!"

Suddenly, Chen Minghao suddenly stopped everyone from continuing to pursue.

"Stop! Don't go any further! The poisonous mist is coming out again!"

Hearing Chen Minghao's shout, everyone came to their senses and stopped abruptly.

Song Chen stood there and looked around.

He found that it was indeed as Chen Minghao said. The fog with strong toxins that they saw outside the woods during the day had emerged again at some point.

And the further they went, the thicker the fog became.

"The toxins contained in these fogs are too strong. The antidote I gave you can't withstand the erosion of these toxins. You can't chase them rashly."

Chen Minghao's face was very solemn, as if he was very afraid of the fog with toxins in front of him.

"But Chengji hasn't been found yet, I must go in!" Lu Peng said seriously.

He was obviously on duty with He Chengji, but now He Chengji was taken away by the monster, and his life and death were uncertain, but he was still alive, which made him feel full of guilt.

He wanted to replace He Chengji and let the monster take him away.

Seeing Lu Peng like this, Chen Minghao sighed helplessly.

"All of you come to me."
