The overall situation has been decided.

After the most exciting siege of thousands of people came to an end, the highlight of the main game was almost over.

More than 80% of the contestants have given up on going deep into the rear of the race and are focusing entirely on earning more points.

The reason is partly due to the perfect services at the camp, but more importantly, the difficulty of the main race is too exaggerated.

If it weren't for Somo's appearance, the four-star Rolling Stone Canyon would have eliminated at least half of its people.

Not to mention the five-star gravity swamp behind the forest, which almost made it clear that all contestants would be discouraged.

Naturally, in the remaining ten days, the breakthrough led by Sumo became the only highlight.

The first is the 2-star difficulty of the Lost Forest.

From the perspective of the audience, you can overlook the entire forest from a high altitude.

The entire Lost Forest is actually not very large, even smaller than the Lingyu Lake. The overall terrain is like a long and narrow corridor, stretching for more than ten kilometers to the west.

If you can successfully pass through this forest, you will immediately see the endless "Boundless Sea".

The location of this finals, ‘Kirishima’, is somewhere within the boundless sea.

"Do you need to keep the direction fixed, to the west?"

With accurate terrain observation and the correct direction of travel.

It stands to reason that as long as they keep heading west, the contestants can successfully get out.

However, after actually understanding the information, Sumo discovered that the interior of the Lost Forest was far from as simple as imagined.

The first is the difficulty inherent in the Lost Forest.

Its interior is not as diverse as imagined, but is composed of four different types of giant trees.

A: A giant pine with strong and simple branches and mottled skin with a strong sense of age.

B: Spruce with a canopy-like crown, broad, thick, dark green leaves, and a steady and tough temperament.

C: A camphor tree with special white flowers in full bloom and a faint fragrance.

D: The leaves are like thorns and look like hemlocks with daggers hanging on them.

Four types of plants, A, B, C, and D, are randomly grouped in the Lost Forest, arranging the terrain into various patterns.

For example, the initial location arrangement for contestants to enter is: North A, South B, West C, East D.

Taking the camphor tree as the target direction, the contestants set off to the west.

But after going forward two hundred meters, the combination will immediately become North B, South A, West D, and East C.

At this time, you have to target the hemlock again to ensure that your direction is west.

Continue forward two hundred meters, and the terrain may change again, or return to the original combination.

If contestants want to ensure that they are still walking west, they have to repeatedly determine the direction.

Human attention happens to be limited, and back-and-forth changes will quickly consume attention.

If you accidentally take a wrong step, it will be difficult to adjust the direction later.

And the most disgusting thing is the direction adjustment after getting lost.

If you're fine alone, if you go the wrong way, you'll have to exit the forest and start again.

But when there are more people, it’s not that simple.

Some people think they are on the right track and still insist on going in the direction they believe they are, and no one can stop them.

Some people think that if they take the wrong step, taking another step will be a waste of time, so they simply stop.

The two opinions clash back and forth, and after the conflict breaks out, attention will be consumed again.

Even if the current route is indeed correct, it will be difficult to keep going more than ten kilometers under the contradiction.

In addition, in addition to the difficulty of the Lost Forest itself, the terrain's own rules also greatly increase the difficulty.

After entering the Lost Forest, contestants who enter together within the same time period will be randomly dropped to a certain point inside.

It is not impossible to finally get the correct topographic map through repeated exploration and trial, but it is definitely difficult to complete in a short time.

Coupled with this is the fatal rule of ‘no raising five meters from the ground’.

After combining the three factors with terrain difficulty, even if someone has tried dozens of times, it is difficult to ensure that the two-kilometer daily mission can be successfully completed, let alone guarantee the direction to get out of the forest.

At this moment, it was noon and the sun was shining brightly.

There are quite a few people who plan to follow Somo through the Lost Forest, there are more than 40 people.

In addition, half of the alien races also planned to give it a try, and after gathering together, there were already over a hundred people.

Such a team broke into the Lost Forest with great force. It would be a lie to say that there were no differences of opinion.

Zhao Qingfei took the lead and set the most basic rules first.

"Lord Su, don't worry, no matter whether you go right or wrong, we will never express any opinions."

"Yes, just treat us as pieces of wood."

Immediately, someone from Longqi praised him and glanced at a famous San person present.

All the human contestants nodded in agreement with this rule, and there were no surprises when it came to the alien race.

"Lord Su, we foreigners also promise to abide by this rule."

"Whoever breaks the rules will be dealt with internally, so you don't have to worry."

Several older aliens spoke out one after another, and their tone was extremely humble.

If you hadn't really seen this scene, it would be hard to believe that these top foreign racers, who had passed five levels and eliminated six, would be reduced to this situation in a main match.

"Okay, you can follow if you want, but I can't guarantee that the direction is correct."

Somo nodded slightly and took the lead to step into the forest.

The long-lost feeling of weightlessness reappeared, and by the time everything became clear before my eyes, I had already entered the dense forest.

White shimmers flashed one after another, and the contestants waiting at the entrance were teleported one after another.

"It's broken. The map I recorded doesn't have this part at all. It's hard for us to even tell where the west is."

"Could it be that the changes caused by the large number of people have pushed us deeper into the forest?"

"Don't make any noise. Have you forgotten the rules before coming in?"

"."

The nervousness of suddenly arriving in a strange environment makes most people choose to talk to relieve their mood.

However, after being reminded by Zhao Qingfei, the surrounding area quickly became quiet.

Everyone lowered their heads slightly, focused on Somo in the center, and waited quietly.

"No wonder those who tried before couldn't get out of this mysterious forest. It was even difficult to guarantee two kilometers in one direction. After this random release, they couldn't even tell the location, let alone determine the direction and walk out all the way.

I didn’t get lost for more than ten kilometers.”

When a group of people entered, Somo had already used several common methods to identify the direction.

However, every method failed without exception.

In other words, the results obtained are not so certain.

Whether it’s the direction of the tree’s shadow cast by the sunlight, the density of the trees’ branches and leaves, the moss on the ground, or the undulations of the terrain.

The Lost Forest does not set up completely meaningful interference, but leaves the contestants with a specious result.

"You really know how to grasp human nature."

Sumo pondered secretly and understood the reason for the two-star difficulty level of the Lost Forest.

Compared with the previous terrains that tested the contestants’ physical strength, this level pays more attention to the contestants’ character.

As long as the entrant can firmly determine the result of his or her own judgment, he will never be affected by the interference conditions released by the terrain.

In the end, even if you can't get out of this lost forest, you can still complete the two-kilometer daily mission.

However, this happens to be the hardest, especially for these top human and alien contestants.

His mind, which is sharper than that of ordinary people, happens to be the biggest obstacle to clearing the Mysterious Forest.

"This is the west, and we are heading in this direction."

Since he couldn't determine the correct direction, Sumo pointed to a random location with a confident look on his face.

For a moment, other people who were still a little confused suddenly became confident.

After all, when entering the Lost Forest before, no one had ever acted as confident as Somo did now.

Coupled with the horrific results in this race, even the audience above almost believed it!

"But this is obviously the south, why does Su Shen say it is the west?"

"Who knows, maybe Su Shen has his own considerations?"
