Chapter 53 Under the Wilderness
On the planet Penglai, there lies a vast and mysterious region known to the world as the most mysterious, dangerous, and expansive.
This vast and boundless land is like a huge mystery, always shrouded in a thick fog, making it difficult to see its full picture.
No one can say for sure how vast its area is, nor does anyone know exactly when it quietly formed.
Contrary to the image of a vast, flat grassland that most people imagine, this place is actually a wild and untamed place rarely visited by humans.
When people first turned their gaze to this mysterious area with curiosity and awe, the first thing that caught their eye was the endless towering trees.
These giant trees are taller than imagined; they stand straight up as if they are trying to pierce the clouds and reach the top of the sky.
Moreover, these giant trees are arranged closely together, their branches and leaves intertwined, forming an unbreakable green barrier that makes it impossible to see what is hidden behind them.
Because those towering, leafy trees intertwine closely, forming an impenetrable green canopy that completely blocks out the sky, many places in the vast wilderness are unable to receive sunlight year-round.
In such a dark and damp environment, large amounts of toxic and corrosive miasma gradually proliferated.
Even if a few faint rays of light managed to pierce through the dense, almost gapless layers of leaves, people could still clearly see the thick miasma permeating the air.
These miasmas displayed bizarre colors: red like blazing fire, green like jade, yellow like golden autumn, and blue like the deep sea...
They intertwine and merge, forming a magnificent and dazzling picture that also conceals endless dangers and crises.
With just a fleeting glance, one can keenly sense the deadly toxic components it contains, sending chills down one's spine and filling one with dread.
It's important to note that this is only the outer area of this mysterious region!
So, what unknown dangers and astonishing secrets might be hidden if we continue to venture deeper?
I doubt anyone can give a definitive and definite answer.
Since ancient times, three great empires have embarked on a difficult journey of exploration into this enigmatic land.
Time flies, and tens of thousands of years have passed quietly. During this time, they paid an unimaginable price.
However, even after such a long period of time and tremendous efforts, the farthest distance that humans can reach in this day and age is only about a hundred miles.
Moreover, since then, humanity has been unable to find even the slightest feasible way to continue its progress.
It's not that there are no roads, but rather that herds of wild beasts have created a death zone.
With the current strength of the three great empires, they are no longer able to advance even one step further.
But even within this mere hundred miles of depth, the things people experienced and witnessed were enough to leave them speechless and deeply shocked.
The most common creatures here are the enormous black-spotted snakes. These snakes can grow to over ten meters long, and their width is nearly half a meter!
From a distance, they resemble a giant black dragon coiled on the ground. Even more striking are the dense patterns covering their bodies, each pattern the size of a black coin, with regular and orderly shapes, making their forms appear both mysterious and terrifying.
Moreover, these black-spotted snakes have an extremely deep black color, as if they can swallow up all the surrounding light.
When they lurk silently in the shadows, they almost blend into the darkness, making them difficult to detect.
It is worth mentioning that these black-spotted snakes possess extremely excellent stealth abilities.
They always cleverly choose places where wild animals frequently appear as their ambush points, and then quietly wait for the right opportunity.
Sometimes, even experienced hunters have difficulty detecting their presence.
What's most astonishing is that these black-spotted snakes possess an extraordinary ability to survive.
They can survive for a whole year without eating or drinking, and still live perfectly well.
However, once an unfortunate prey steps into their carefully laid trap, these seemingly quiet and sleeping behemoths will suddenly unleash astonishing power, pounce on their prey with lightning speed, and launch a deadly attack.
These enormous creatures, with lightning speed, twisted their thick and powerful bodies and pounced on their prey like streaks of lightning.
Their bodies seem to possess inexhaustible power, tightly binding their prey and giving it no chance to escape.
As the muscles contract and exert force, the powerful squeezing force bursts forth instantly, like a giant hammer smashing down on its prey.
The prey's entire skeleton appeared incredibly fragile in the face of this terrifying power, emitting a series of chilling "crackling" sounds as it was crushed to pieces in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, these black-spotted snakes opened their blood-red mouths and mercilessly swallowed their defenseless prey whole.
The scene was bloody and shocking, sending chills down one's spine.
Among the surging, overwhelming tide of wild beasts, the black-spotted snake was undoubtedly the most common and numerous of them.
Although they may pose a relatively small direct threat to humans in terms of individual strength, we must not underestimate them.
Because their numbers are so enormous, to an astonishing degree, they can only be described as terrifying!
Thousands upon thousands of black-spotted snakes gathered together, resembling a black river flowing endlessly, or a dark, oppressive cloud covering the sky.
Even though the harm caused by each snake is limited, the power released when so many individuals come together as a whole is unparalleled.
Faced with such an unstoppable torrent, even though the soldiers defending the city were well-equipped and well-trained, they still felt unprecedented pressure and risk of casualties.
Every encounter with the black-spotted snake is nothing short of a life-or-death struggle.
However, compared to the black-spotted snake, the ferocity of other wild beasts is simply astonishing!
Each of them possesses unique and potentially lethal special abilities, as well as distinctive living habits.
This means that if you unfortunately encounter them, it will turn into a thrilling and fierce battle for survival.
It should also be noted that what has been said above is only a small part of what people have witnessed in the countless frenzied beast tides.
In fact, most of the wild beasts are hidden on the outskirts of the vast wilderness, like ferocious beasts lurking in the darkness, ready to launch a fatal attack on any intruder.
As for what kind of scenery is hidden in the mysterious and unfathomable core area of the wilderness?
What other unknown and strange creatures exist? To date, no one can give a definitive answer.
Perhaps in that place, there are wild beasts far more powerful and brutal than we imagine, ruling and controlling everything.
Regardless of the truth, that region, which has not yet been fully explored, has always been shrouded in a thick fog, like an insurmountable barrier. For tens of thousands of years, it has been a nightmare hanging over the heads of mankind, making people tremble with fear, yet helpless.
