Chapter 1546: Chapter 666: The Wonderful Ecology of Jie Lin (Part 1)

"Blade Wind...Rain of Time..."

Mu You silently recited the two new terms in the text.

Two kinds of natural disasters, looking quite intimidating, but Mu You hadn’t experienced them, so there was no real feeling at this moment.

The bigger issue for him now was that the Soul Guiding Lantern was gone.

This meant that for the journey ahead, he couldn’t die, or he would be teleported back to the entrance of the second layer, starting from scratch.

"Can only be careful..."

Mu You shook his head. Besides the two disasters, this Crystal Stone didn’t contain any strategies for the third layer, which implied that the three Fool’s Ancestors probably perished while exploring the third layer; from here on, everything depended on his own exploration.

"First roam around the outskirts and search for any relic left by the Mechanic to see if it can strengthen the Black Angel..."

Mu You silently planned his actions. Based on the failure rate of the components on Black Angel, they could still manage on this layer, but it’s uncertain if they would function properly in the next layer, so replacements must be found soon.

With his thoughts sorted, Mu You was ready to control the character to set off.

An unexpected alert suddenly popped up.

[The air currents suddenly became disordered, with roaring sounds of gales coming from the depths of the forest, as if a thousand horses were galloping...]

"The wind’s rising?"

Mu You’s heart skipped a beat.

Having just read about the two disasters, the wind rose immediately... it can’t be such a coincidence, can it?

[The whistling through the forest reached in the blink of an eye...]

[A strong wind abruptly grazed your cheek, leaving a barely noticeable blood line on your face...]

[More and more strong winds attacked from all directions, your cheeks burning painfully as you instinctively covered with your hand, only to feel your arm begin to sting intensely.]

[Looking down, you noticed that several needle-thin Crystal Stone fragments had embedded in your hands and arms, piercing deep into your flesh, with blood flowing profusely...]

"Emmm..."

Mu You then completely confirmed that it was indeed the legendary ’Blade Wind’.

No time to think further, he hurriedly commanded the character to evade.

[Skies were churning with dark clouds, gales howled through the jungle, laden with countless tiny crystals.]

[These crystals were as sharp as blades, flying everywhere, easily breaking the forest’s peace...]

[You pulled out the spikes on your arm, but more larger Crystal Thorns attacked and soon pierced through any exposed skin, turning it into a bloody mess...]

[Amidst a clatter of collisions, the Silver Angel’s wings folded back to cover your body, shielding you from most of the harm, yet many areas that couldn’t be protected were pierced by tiny crystal needles...]

[Protected by the Black Angel, you curled your body as much as possible to avoid being swept away by the gales, moving to flee and search for a low-lying shelter nearby...]

[However, the surroundings were filled with sparse vegetation, and you quickly realized there’s nowhere to hide, as these gales didn’t come from a fixed direction but all around, and no matter where you hid, the blade-like crystals seemed to have eyes, persistently invading through the Black Angel’s armor, tearing through your clothes and skin...]

[Your whole body felt burning pain, blood droplets oozed from wounds, quickly staining your clothes red...]

"Truly formidable..."

Mu You personally experienced the disaster’s power, no wonder a storm like this left the Fool’s Ancestors’ expedition at their wits’ end.

Luckily, the text on Crystal Stones mentioned a strategy: when encountering Blade Wind, seek out the dead Forbidden Woods, which become fragile on the surface and can be broken, with hollow interiors. Just carve a hole on the bark of a dead tree, crawl inside, and seal the entrance to temporarily create a safe refuge.

["Fifty meters ahead on the left, a dry Forbidden Wood has been spotted."]

[Ava’s voice timely rang out, you hurriedly followed her instructions, indeed finding a dead tree.]

[Compared to the surrounding robust and rounded Forbidden Woods, this one had a noticeably smaller diameter, with a wrinkled and cracked bark.]

[You quickly stepped under the Forbidden Wood, waving the Blade of Hell, wielding faint Sword Qi, striking the dry bark.]

[In the flurry of sawdust, slash marks formed on the tree trunk, and soon a hole was carved out, revealing a hollow tree cavity inside.]

[Disregarding exhaustion, you exerted more force in swinging the blade, quickly expanding the opening to fit a person.]

[You dragged a black Crystal Stone from nearby, crawled into the tree cavity, and blocked the entrance with the black Crystal Stone.]

[The murderous gales howling outside were finally temporarily isolated from you.]

[You’re safe now!]

Mu You let out a breath of relief, somewhat glad he took the Divine Power of God of Decapitation earlier, otherwise, with ordinary means, it wouldn’t have been as quick to slash an opening in the Forbidden Wood.

Those Fool’s Ancestors probably died in such a way, taking their time to explore the hollow tree, while being mostly dead amidst the Blade Wind.

[Finally safe, you took a chance to observe the surroundings.]

[The tree cavity spanned about several tens of square meters, with some small soft-bodied creatures attached to the trunk’s inner walls, and up above, some white flying insects were buzzing like mosquitoes, all having sought shelter just like
