Chapter 48: Weird Jungle, Three Overlords
Lu Kai was aware of this call even when he was still ten kilometers outside the Carlson Jungle.
At first, Lu Kai thought that his feeling was wrong, but as he got closer to the jungle, the feeling became stronger. However, even so, Lu Kai did not act recklessly.
Since entering the jungle, Lu Kai has been extremely careful at all times because the jungle is so strange.
The first strange thing is that the trees here are very tall, and the deeper you go into the jungle, the taller they are. In addition, most of the vegetation here is lush and leafy, blocking out the sun, resulting in very poor light in the jungle.
The second strange thing is that the jungle is filled with a kind of poisonous miasma, which is extremely harmful to the human body, and the deeper you go into the jungle, the thicker the miasma becomes.
The third strange thing is that all the animals in the jungle are huge. Any animal of the same type is much larger than those in the outside world, and they are all extremely ferocious and powerful.
The fourth strange thing is that not only the animals here are ferocious, but the plants are also ferocious. Many vines actually feed on hunting animals, and most of the animals, plants and insects in the jungle are highly poisonous.
It has to be said that it makes sense that the Carlson Jungle is known as the most dangerous place in the entire Itachisiya Kingdom.
At first, Lu Kai only dared to move around on the outskirts of the jungle, because people still have to breathe, and the toxicity in the smoke and miasma would enter the human body with every breath, accumulating more and more.
If it lasts a little longer, people will become weak all over and have difficulty breathing. Even Lu Kai's physical fitness is completely unable to resist.
However, Lu Kai's training system has a reset function. All negative effects produced on the first day will be cleared at six o'clock the next morning. So at the beginning, every time Lu Kai went deeper to explore, he would choose to exit at five o'clock in the morning after exploring for about fifty minutes, and then wait quietly for recovery.
After doing this for seven or eight days in a row, Lu Kai found that his resistance to the toxicity contained in the smoke and miasma was gradually increasing.
In fact, this is not surprising at all, and it is similar to the principle of vaccination.
The reason why vaccines work is that they contain a small amount of inactivated viruses. After the inactivated viruses enter the human body, they activate the body's immune system, produce antibodies, and form specific immunity.
Although the miasma is not a virus but a toxin, this method can also continuously enhance Lu Kai's resistance to toxins.
After his resistance increased, Lu Kai gradually increased the time he went deeper, choosing to enter at four in the morning and exit before six, then enter at three, then two, and then one.
As time went by, the time Lu Kai could stay in the miasma continued to increase. Finally, after two months, Lu Kai was able to stay in the miasma for twenty-four hours.
Although his body would still slowly weaken over time, the degree of weakening was much smaller, and it was enough for Lu Kai to hold on until six o'clock the next morning.
And in just two months, Lu Kai's beast-like instincts were once again sublimated.
Because once you go deep into the Carlson jungle, even during the day, visibility is only about ten meters, and at night you can't see anything. In order to guard against the danger that may come at any time, you must have the ability to sense danger.
After all, you never know when those ferocious beasts, poisonous insects, and man-eating plants will attack you.
At the beginning, Lu Kai naturally chose to use the domineering power of observation to sense danger.
However, when Lu Kai clearly felt that he could unleash his potential to a greater extent when he was in a weak state and faced unknown risks, he decisively chose to stop using his Observation Haki to sense danger and instead regarded himself as a wild beast.
Without the advance perception of Observation Haki, Lu Kai could only continuously improve the sensitivity of each of his organs as much as possible and increase his awareness of vigilance.
Unexpectedly, after two months of training, Lu Kai's ability has been significantly improved. Now Lu Kai no longer needs to deliberately use all his attention to perceive. Once there is any danger, Lu Kai can often sense it in advance.
This is an instinct that many animals have, but as humans evolve, this instinct has been weakened as the comfort and stability of the environment have increased.
During this period, Lu Kai also experienced many sudden battles, which caused Lu Kai's reaction to become faster and faster, and the speed of his sword drawing also continued to increase.
Lu Kai gradually became fully aware of the situation deep in the Carlson jungle.
Deep in the Carlson Jungle, there are some powerful races, among which the three races in the center can be called overlords.
One is the White Tiger tribe.
Adult white tigers are seven or eight meters tall. The strongest white tiger king is even ten meters tall and over twenty meters long. Even its thick tail is ten meters long.
The White Tiger Clan lives in a plain area in the deepest center of the jungle, where there are relatively few trees and the grass is lush.
Another overlord is the swamp crocodile.
The height of the swamp crocodile is not as exaggerated as that of the white tiger. The king among them is five meters tall, eight meters wide, and more than twenty meters long. However, when the swamp crocodile's mouth is fully opened, it is more than ten meters tall, which is quite terrifying.
Moreover, the scales on the swamp crocodiles are particularly hard, and ordinary beasts cannot break their defenses at all. The place where they live is the swamp in the central area.
Another overlord is the dragon snake.
The king of the dragon-snake clan has a diameter of three meters and a length of nearly a hundred meters. Although it is a snake, it has the appearance of a dragon. It looks very much like the Chinese dragon without horns and claws, domineering and beautiful.
This species likes to live on a giant tree that can only be found in the heart of the Carlson Jungle.
In fact, the names of the three races were all given by Luke himself. After all, there was no record of these three races in any information. Luke even suspected that no one had ever been to the center of the jungle.
The three races are arranged in a triangular shape in the central area, each guarding one side. At the same time, these three overlords have a strong sense of territory and are very intelligent.
None of the three overlords were easy to mess with. The White Tiger Clan and the Swamp Crocodile Clan were hunted down madly just because Lu Kai approached to investigate.
If it weren't for the fact that Lu Kai knew the "Moon Step" and had activated the domineering power of Observation Haki, and the fact that the three overlords were generally unwilling to stray far from the central area and went back after chasing for a while, Lu Kai would probably have died in their mouths.
Lu Kai became very angry when he thought of this, because after coming here, Lu Kai could feel the power of summoning more clearly, which was in the central area where the three overlords were located.
