There was also a safe house near the cliff. The Professor drove out a simple aircraft from the safe house. It was similar to a two-person motorcycle, and its power system was, of course, crystal energy. The aircraft carried the two of them across the river and slowly landed in the forest on the other side.
Ding Meng learned from the Professor that he had been working on Planet Five for twenty-six years. Of these twenty-six years, fifteen of them were spent in outer space, waiting for the Hidden Front to clear out the obstacles in the atmosphere. In the remaining eleven years, the Professor had been exploring and cultivating, gradually grasping the rules of the various vegetation and rocks on the surface of the planet. Only then did they arrive at the so-called Intermediate Exploration Zone.
The nature of this place was the same as the super bridge outside the energy crystal. Every step forward was difficult, and every step forward required a huge price to pay.
For a moment, Ding Meng was very impressed by the Professor. After all, the Professor was a non-combat Origin Ability user. To explore all the way here from the spaceport, not only did he pay a high price, but he also had perseverance and perseverance that ordinary people could not hope to achieve.
"You are a true academic authority." Ding Meng could not help but praise.
The Professor did not think much of it. He replied calmly, "Do you think that we have succeeded by coming here?
What we are doing now is not even the beginning. "
Ding Meng noticed that in the forest on the other side of the river, the number of fossils on the ground had increased, and the density of Mana in the air had increased. The entire forest was filled with a strange aura.
Under the giant Holy Tree, Ding Meng and the Professor were like two ants under the feet of a monster. The Professor explained again, "If these fossils are some kind of energy collector, then this big tree is the energy gathering matrix lighthouse..."
She was worried that Ding Meng would not understand, so she explained, "This is like the sensor cabin to the server."
Ding Meng nodded. "If we do not use Origin Energy, we will not activate these fossils, but ordinary people will not be able to reach our position."
The Professor said, "I think this is the outer perimeter. The outer perimeter is more like a warning, warning you not to use force, warning you not to go in."
Ding Meng asked, "What about the inner perimeter?"
The Professor pointed at the Holy Tree and said, "Start from this tree and walk all the way in. The situation is completely reversed."
She started to circulate her origin energy again. This time, she circulated her origin energy to the limit of an advanced warlord. She turned her head and said, "Mr. Ting, don't follow me. Be careful."
This time, she slowed down her pace and walked towards a tree-lined path. As she walked, a few red lights suddenly flashed on both sides of the path. The ghostly lights appeared without any warning. The doctor seemed to have expected these red lights to appear. He waved his palms to parry a few times before retreating.
"With Mr. Ting's strength, you should be able to see it clearly, right?" the professor asked.
Ding Meng's expression was very serious. Not only did he see it clearly, but he also saw it very carefully.
The red lights on the side of the road were the strange leopards they had encountered before. However, these leopards were not fossilized. Ding Meng could not tell how they had appeared.
From what he could tell, these leopards seemed to have suddenly appeared from another space. Fortunately, the Professor was not strong, and the corresponding strength of these leopards was not strong either, so the Professor was able to parry them.
"I call this kind of leopard the Shadow Leopard!" The Professor was very confident when it came to academic matters.
This name was really appropriate. The red lights really seemed to have swept out from the shadows, and they were so fast that they were caught off guard.
However, what surprised Ding Meng the most was that wherever his Telekinesis vision passed through, there was nothing unusual about the forest. Every blade of grass, tree, flower, and leaf was completely still. His Telekinesis vision could not see where the Shadow Leopard had flown out from. In other words, his Telekinesis vision had lost its effect in this place.
"Who else has entered this place?" Ding Meng asked.
The Professor said, "Other than me, it was the boss, Number 2, Number 3, Number 6, and Number 8."
Ding Meng thought about it. Even if they had entered, they would not be able to go too far. His past experience in the Divine Light Square had taught him that if he increased his strength bit by bit and hid his trump cards and fought with opponents of similar strength, he would only be able to advance a few dozen kilometers at most. It was not that he could not go further, but it would be very risky to go further.
Ding Meng had a lot of experience in exploration. He knew very well that the best way for every mission and adventure was to leave enough room for himself. Rushing forward was the most taboo.
Suddenly, he had an idea. Since his Telekinesis vision was ineffective, he could try the Serene Dream Projection that the Immortal Yuan King had taught him. What if this Ghost Vision was effective?
Ding Meng mobilized his Origin Energy and spread it out in his brain. His vision immediately turned gray. Sure enough, these stones were inanimate objects. However, in the forest, there were clouds of black fog drifting everywhere. This was definitely not an ordinary poisonous black fog, but some kind of energy spirit with consciousness. They seemed to be in a deep sleep.
Ding Meng looked carefully. This kind of black spirit was everywhere in the sky and on the ground. Once Origin Energy was activated, they would be alerted. Then, they would use the stone to take shape and kill you by surprise.
What kind of life forms were these?
Why were they everywhere in this forest?
Ding Meng had a million questions in his mind.
After thinking about it, Ding Meng turned his head and said, "Professor, there are still many things that I don't understand. I'll have to rely on you from now on. Step back a little."
After he finished speaking, he changed his vision and began to use his Telekinesis technique. This time, he used a Telekinesis technique called "Boundless Vitality" from the Blue Spirit Technique. An illusory Blue Spirit Divine Tree suddenly appeared in the middle of the path. The tree was not very tall, but its entire body was green and translucent.
"Whoosh — — —"
The tree's roots spread out in all directions, creating rings of green waves that resembled ripples in a lake. In an instant, they spread out in the middle of the forest, causing the entire forest to turn green.
This was a high-level technique that the Tree God had once used. The environment of Azure Tree Planet was primitive, and many poor Treants were unable to survive. It was the Tree God who had created these Telekinesis fluctuations to maintain the vitality of the grasslands and forests. The principle behind this technique was that the healing energy of the Smelting Space could be converted into Telekinesis Strings through the model, which had a very powerful purifying effect.
Of course, Ding Meng did not deliberately hide it. The Professor could also see the Green Spirit Divine Tree's Telekinesis model with his naked eye.
The Professor was shocked once again. "You also cultivated Telekinesis."
The Professor could only see the energy of the "Boundless Vitality" technique, but he could not see the spirits. In his vision, with the model as the center, the surrounding black spirit began to retreat. They seemed to hate these fluctuations.
This was also Ding Meng's train of thought. No matter where these mysterious spirits came from, they were nourished by Mana in this forest. Therefore, he might as well try the green energy. Who knows, it might have a miraculous effect.
Once the "Boundless Vitality" technique was brought out, Ding Meng and the Professor were able to move freely through the forest.
"You've solved a problem that I've been unable to solve for nine years!" There was a hint of envy in the Professor's voice.
Ding Meng waved his hand. "We should be inside now. Although the barrier at the periphery is a warning, it can't explain the energy composition of these Shadow Leopards."
The Professor was an expert. When she heard this, she immediately knew what Ding Meng was thinking. She pondered for a moment before saying, "I have a bold idea. I wonder if Mr. Ting is interested in hearing it."
Ding Meng said, "Please speak!"
The Professor said, "My knowledge is shallow, so I'll have to embarrass myself. Mr. Ting, if you've studied the Devouring World before, you should know that the Devouring World's Tai Chi Magical Lake is known as the Sacred Lake."
Ding Meng said, "I know about this."
The Professor said, "Yin and Yang, black and white, cold and hot, sweet and bitter, they all correspond to each other and complement each other. However, I feel that they cannot be combined into one. There is no such thing in the universe because it violates this law."
Ding Meng listened quietly.
The Professor continued, "Similarly, although the Protoss' energy and the Demons' energy are opposites, they cannot coexist on the same thing. For example, these Shadow Leopards clearly have the majority of Demons' energy in them, but they also have a small amount of Protoss' energy."
Ding Meng turned to look at her. "Do you have a deep understanding of Protoss' energy?"
He was just short of saying, "Do you know about the energy of Shenguang Technology?" The Doctor obviously did not know. She smiled apologetically. "Sorry, I know very little about the energy of the Protoss. I can only tell that it is the energy of the Protoss from its purity and aura. This kind of energy is much purer than the inverse crystal, and its aura gives people a pure and positive signal. The energy of the Demonic Race is the complete opposite."
Ding Meng said meaningfully, "But your body is also smelted with this kind of Pandora Demon energy. You should know that it is not really beneficial to you."
"I know!"
The Professor was calm. "This kind of Pandora Demon energy has a great negative effect on people. It can affect people's emotions. But as long as I continue to study it, it is not a big deal to me."
Ding Meng could only sigh in admiration. There were not only specialists in the field, but there were also fanatics in the field. The Professor was a typical example.
The Professor continued, "My guess is that this place was originally occupied by the Protoss' energy, but I don't know what happened, but the Demons' energy gradually multiplied. Based on the characteristics of these Shadow Leopards, I feel that the Protoss' energy is dying out, but the Demons' energy is gradually taking shape, just like..."
She paused and finally found a suitable analogy. "Just like a rose. It was originally receiving the nourishment of the sun and rain, and finally blooming. But halfway through, it was polluted, and in the end, it will bear poisonous fruit."
Ding Meng was silent. In fact, he had come to the same conclusion.
The reason was simple. Why did the Hidden Front boss put the Professor on Planet Five?
The purpose was to study these strange phenomena, and then go straight to the heart of the forest. The Professor's speed was fast, but this speed was not enough to satisfy him.
It was not that the Professor was taking too long, but the regenerated warriors had already appeared in the field of vision of the two armies. The Hidden Front boss was already trying to buy time, which meant that time was running out. Combined with the Professor's point of view, it proved that the mysterious land on Planet Five was about to undergo new changes.
The Hidden Front boss must know something, and he had been here before.
"Let's go in and take a look!" Ding Meng decided.
