16.
From morning until noon, Zuo Lin had already arrived near the Wolong Giant Panda Research Center. He had not done his homework in advance, so he naturally didn't know how the habitat of giant pandas was distributed. The digital map in Pda would not have this data. In fact, there are only two places related to giant pandas in the map, one is the Giant Panda Breeding Center in Chengdu, and the other is the Giant Panda Research Center here.
The research center covers a large area, and Zuo Lin walked around the periphery. Since he didn't want to be discovered and wanted to see as many situations as possible, the circle was very large and took more than an hour. The research center that studies animal ecology is different from those companies. Although it also has nominal commuting and lunch breaks, the animals will not decide what they do or do not do according to this time.
In theory, he was very disgusted with this organization that studies single animals. The operation of nature has its own basis, and the survival of the fittest has its own choice. Indeed, humans are gradually eroding nature and threatening these animals, especially pandas that rely on specific natural conditions, but nature reserves have been established. Basically, humans' influence on these creatures has been reduced to a minimum. If pandas as a species still disappear under such conditions, it can only be said that they are natural choices.
Pandas are cute and rare, and this kind of overcorrect protection attitude is not fair for other rare and even rarer animals and plants. However, there is nothing we can do about it. Ordinary humans often use their own feelings and emotions as their basis for their judgment. Over the years, as pandas have become a tool that can play a great role in kindness and gather funds allocated to protect and breed pandas every year in accordance with the terms of cooperation, this kind of excessive protection of pandas has become increasingly excessive.
The researchers in the research center do not need any cage to take pandas from one building to another, and there is no protection measure. The seemingly honest pandas will naturally follow the researchers they are familiar with, as well as pet dogs they raise at home. As for those little guys who are only 2 or 3 months old, they don’t even have to work so hard. Their locations are often transferred from one embrace to another.
There was no clue from the distance. Just as Zuo Lin was about to leave, a jeep equipped with an extremely exaggerated radio antenna set. The entire rear compartment of the jeep had no windows, and the windows were equipped with metal plates. There was a small window in the middle that could be opened outward, similar to the shooting holes of infantry fighting vehicles. I don’t know what the theoretical basis of this design is, probably for the instruments behind the car. However, when a window opened and a human face swept through the small window, Zuo Lin immediately became concerned about the car. He was very sure that this face had appeared in those photos, but he just didn’t know what this guy was called.
Zuo Lin would not naively think that was a coincidence. The photos that Chen Jianzong had almost exchanged for his life were undoubtedly worthy of attention. On the other hand, except for this person who happened by chance, Zuo Lin could not find any other clues to track down. Although he was back in Chengdu or Dujiangyan City now, he would definitely be able to meet with the joint reconnaissance team that was already actively deploying, after the meeting, his ability as a more capable Druid was completely limited.
Tracking a jeep is not particularly difficult for Zuo Lin, it is just a little hard. There is only one provincial highway running through the entire nature reserve, and other roads are not well built. Anyway, as a nature reserve, there is no need for any decent highway. Zuo Lin followed a few hundred meters behind the jeep, running and jumping hard, trying to keep up with the pace of the rapid rolling of four wheels.
The jeep turned a intersection. When Zuo Lin was about to climb over the small hill on the side of the road and took a shortcut, he suddenly lost the trace of the jeep.
In such a rugged and rough place, perhaps this is normal. The sound of the jeep comes intermittently. The jeep used to travel through nature reserves has been modified, which has enhanced off-road capabilities and reduced noise, as if it is to avoid disturbing wild animals. The thick woods and the staggered terrain are also reasons why the sound cannot be transmitted far away. If you are not careful, you may lose it. This understanding of the facts immediately accelerated Zuo Lin.
The sound was still coming intermittently, but after running for about half an hour, Zuo Lin realized that the situation did not seem normal. The sound of the jeep was always not far away, but no matter whether Zuo Lin was in a high or low terrain, he could no longer put the jeep into sight. This was absolutely abnormal.
Zuo Lin stopped. The low frequency of the jeep engine seemed to be getting farther and farther away, but it always left a very faint but absolutely captured sound floating in. At this time, Zuo Lin almost certainly had encountered a certain type of person, and he had fallen into something like "illusion" or "enchantment". Such large-scale skills are very rare in the Druid community. Only a few druids, especially a few druids with powerful spell talent, can master such skills, especially druids who prefer plants, and can also use some plants that can diverge scents or pollen to enhance the effect of this spell. For any druid, it is very annoying to encounter such things.
The surrounding environment also seems to be very suitable for the use of this type of spell. Looking around, the surrounding scenery is similar, all green forests. In the game place, some bamboo is planted. This is true in many places in the entire reserve. On the one hand, the area of the reserve is expanding year by year, while on the other hand, the reserve is no longer a completely primitive ecological forest belt. In order to increase the number of pandas that can be accommodated in the reserve and allow more giant pandas to recover their "wildness", the plant replanting species in the reserve are more focused on bamboo. It is precisely because of this that the natural energy in the entire reserve is a bit chaotic, otherwise, by perceiving the native forest belt, the continuous natural energy, Zuo Lin would not fall into this embarrassing situation no matter what.
Now, when he was sure that he was trapped in something like an illusion and the surrounding natural energy was not enough to let him perceive, Zuo Lin had to use a more alternative and more consuming natural power.
Removed the backpack from the back and carried the bow and quiver on the back. Zuo Lin prepared for the upcoming battle. Since the opponent has the ability to cast this illusion, he will naturally have the ability to cause damage to himself. The best time to attack is the moment when he casts his own spell to crack the illusion.
Defense is something that every plant-based druid is very good at, and Zuo Lin is no exception. When he was running in the woods just now, he was covered with debris such as fallen leaves and pollen. When the power of nature slowly changed his whole body, these inconspicuous things immediately changed drastically.
The leaves and grass clips grew little by little, turning into things that looked like glazed. When this shape change stopped, Zuo Lin was covered with a layer of green and dazzling armor. The spiritual armor technique can be regarded as a compulsory course for plant-based druids to enter the intermediate stage according to the introductory stage, and is also one of the few spells that plant-based druids are very useful in melee combat. Due to the development of modern guns, light weapons are becoming more and more popular, and the practicality of the spiritual armor technique is becoming more and more. Although each piece of armor made of leaves will be broken when hit by bullets, as long as the natural power is not exhausted, another piece can be added almost immediately. If when this spell was developed, the plant-based druids had no choice but to enter the spell of melee combat and perseverance, then in modern society, the practicality of the spiritual armor technique is countless times higher.
After defending himself, Zuo Lin once again put his right hand on a tree. In this kind of forest, although many re-planted trees interfere with the overall feeling of the entire forest belt, tall trees that are decades, hundreds of years or even longer can still be seen everywhere. Zuo Lin injected natural power into the trunk and then began to chant a spell. The three spells with 3 overlapping letters are already very complicated in Druid's spell system. As the spell was completed, the whole tree was surrounded by green light that was so bright that it was hard to open its eyes, and the sky seemed to dim. The green light condensed into a beam of green light and jumped around.
The green light jumped from one tree to another. Although it was only a very short contact, it immediately made the hit tree start to emit green fluorescent light. The green light jumped more than a dozen times before disappearing, and these dozen trees hit by lightning chains formed by pure and thick natural forces were distributed into an oval space. Under the light of the green light, the trees that were shorter and were not noticed by the green light, the shrubs, grass leaves and moss distributed on the ground seemed to be active... This entire ground covered by natural forces actually formed a small barrier, and nothing unnatural could stop in this small piece of ground. When Zuo Lin stood at the center of this ground, the surrounding scenery seemed to tremble slightly, and the sound of the jeep disappeared. At this time, Zuo Lin knew that this illusion was cracked.
Spiritual Technique... is also called activation technique. It takes almost half of the natural power in Zuo Lin's body to be used once, and the consumption is too great. Plants activated by natural forces will naturally adjust their state to the best in a short period of time, so that the entire plant and the caster of natural forces will resonate with the caster of natural forces. The power of nature will destroy harmful things in the plant body, adjust the growth state of the plant, and also inform the caster of the plant's state and perception at the same time. Therefore, all plants on this entire ground have become Zuo Lin's eyes and ears. Usually, this spell is used to save plants that are on the verge of death due to some sudden environmental changes, or to purify a small-scale polluted environment; when used in battle, it is usually the plant-type druids with deep accumulation of natural forces to improve the surrounding environment. Plants activated by natural forces are operated in battle and can exert greater combat power. Of course, these are just usually.
There are few powerful illusions in the Western world, and druids are a type of person who is not easy to get into illusions. When encountering illusions, especially animal druids, they can often rely on their own perceptions to crack them. The sounds and images created by illusions cannot deceive extraordinary hearing and vision, and it is even more impossible to encounter druids who use olfactory as tracking methods. However, in the East, there is a powerful illusion in almost every special power system in the East. Mr. Sun discovered many other uses of spells in the process of fighting with various powerful figures. Spiritual Activation is one of them. Although it consumes a lot of natural power, for a long time, the entire land is his own allies. It is still very cost-effective to use it to crack illusions while consolidating his own defensive advantages.
Zuo Lin breathed a sigh of relief. Although he cracked the illusion, the person who cast the illusion did not appear. The crisis still did not pass. The jeep could only follow the traces of the wheels.
Zuo Lin held the bow in his hand and put an arrow on it. His instinct told him that danger was coming.
Two fireballs shot from above. Zuo Lin looked carefully and found that the core of the fireball burning was actually two rectangular yellow talisman paper. Did he really meet a Taoist priest with some cultivation?
Zuo Lin thought about it carefully and the arrow was already shooting out quickly. Zuo Lin had no time to shoot an arrow, and there was no need for it. As soon as the arrow left the bowstring, a bunch of pollen was released immediately. When the fireball and the arrow crossed, the pollen immediately attached to the fireball. Two fireballs that were originally burning and full of momentum were immediately extinguished. The burnt talisman paper lost the momentum of the flames and landed a few meters in front of Zuo Lin.
The arrow will not be obstructed, which is the benefit of a more powerful long-range weapon. The arrow shot was not released, but it seemed to have suddenly stopped in the air, which was very strange. A figure emerged from the arrow parked in the air. He stood firmly on the branch, and the arrow was firmly held in his hand. Looking at the person's face, it turned out to be the guy sitting behind the jeep.
"There are not many people who can break my mysterious formation in the past few years, so I will sign up for it." The guy on the treetop said loudly.
"Sorry, I don't have this hobby, and there is no need to talk to a panda smuggling guy like you." Zuo Lin muttered casually, and shot another arrow.
"Haha, it seems you know." Zuo Lin's extremely slight words were heard clearly.
Zuo Lin felt a slight in his heart, and in a blink of an eye, the guy who was still on the treetop just now appeared less than two meters in front of him, and a white sword light slashed towards Zuo Lin's head...
