Chapter 274: A Huge Black Shadow
Overhead, there was no longer a blue sky, but clusters of green leaves, and the gray light that came out of the thick dark clouds made it even more dim, even at noon, and the surroundings were shrouded in darkness.
We have now crossed the border between the grassland and the forest, officially into the misty forest, under the leadership of Varref, we are a group of people along the rugged path that only allows one carriage to pass through guò, four or five wagons, seven people, even pulled into a slender procession like centipedes, the road is very difficult to walk, especially for those camel and mule beasts, it is a test, fortunately they do not know how many times they have gone back and forth on this road, it is also an old horse, and they are familiar with it, but people can no longer sit in the carriage, One is to reduce the burden on the mule and camel beast, and the other is to help you feel that your ** is too upright and wants to smooth it out.
Variif told us that this road is difficult to walk, but it has also taken thousands of years for our ancestors to step out alive, the plants and vines in the forest grow fast, and they are often cleaned up when they come, but they are now blocked when they return, and this path is the path that has been continuously cleaned and trampled for thousands of years, and it has finally changed the growth law of these shrubs and vines, and opened up the current passage.
As Varif said, the Misty Forest may seem terrifying, but once you understand its unspoken rules, it is not impossible to be safe, and even on the second day of entering the Misty Forest, we met a team of mercenaries who protected several woodcutters in search of precious wood nearby. The hardwood tables in Rogge's bar were made of wood from the depths of the forest, and if they could find one or two of these hard trees, the mercenaries and woodcutters would make a lot of money, which is why they were willing to take such great risks to come to the Misty Forest.
I had been walking in the misty forest for five or six days, and the branches and leaves above my head were getting denser and denser, and the sky was no longer visible, but according to the experienced Varref, the dark clouds accumulated in the previous days had not dispersed, but were getting thicker and thicker, and I jumped to the top of the tree to take a look. Obediently, the whole world is gray, and the dark clouds that are pressed down from the top of the head seem to be able to reach out and touch them, these dark clouds continue to accumulate, but the rain is delayed, as if there is a crumbling sword hanging above the head, which makes people feel panicked.
"Smack-" There was a crisp sound, and Doug, who was walking in front, slapped himself in the face.
"Damn. This damn mosquito. Doug pinched his face, and a blue-and-white mosquito with half of his thumb was pinched in his finger, and he couldn't help but curse with hatred, deep in the forest, these mosquitoes, snakes, ants, and insects needless to say, even if they use a cloak to cover themselves tightly, they will inevitably be harassed, no wonder Variif always wears that airtight tight-fitting clothes.
"Little baby. You okay. I opened my cloak and asked the little head peeking out of it, "In a place where mosquitoes are infested, it is better to carry Sarah into my cloak, which is a little stuffy, but it is better to be bitten."
"Big brother, I'm fine" The little guy looked up at me cutely, looked at me with bright eyes, rubbed comfortably in his arms a few times, and then closed his eyes in a daze. Showing a look of enjoyment.
"That's all for today." Varref, who was at the forefront, suddenly stopped. Then he took us to find a striking tree nearby, it was so eye-catching, it was estimated that ten people could not hug it, and it had been hollowed out, which was more than enough to accommodate seven of us.
"It's better if it doesn't rain, just take advantage of the present and pass through the misty forest in one breath, at our current speed, if there are no surprises ahead. It is estimated that one month will be enough. ”
Around the campfire. Everyone was affected by the weather, and the expressions on their faces were heavy. Seeing this, Varif kept cheering us up, but he also sighed in his heart, with his experience, I don't know, this month's journey, there will always be some big or small troubles to delay the footsteps, it is already lucky to be able to pass through in a month and a half, the question is can this rain drag on until a month and a half later, then those active monsters, and swamps everywhere......
"That's right, even Andariel has been killed by us, are you still afraid of this light rain?" As the captain and elder, Lal also raised his spirits, and shouted to Varif and said, the effect was obvious, at least the two barbarian brothers had aroused their fighting spirit.
"Next ......" Variif unfolded the map and reexplained to us what to look out for in the rest of the trip.
"Please note that the next part of the road is already a forbidden area for the teleportation scroll, whether it is Rog's camp or Lu Gaoin's teleportation range, it is not in it, so everyone must be very careful, after here, you can use the teleportation scroll, but at that time our destination is no longer Rog camp, but Lu Gaoin's ......" His finger moved to the edge of the other side of the misty forest, but this is equivalent to not saying it, to the position where he pointed to the ground, he was already almost through the misty forest, Who would waste a precious teleportation scroll just to save a few days of travel.
"One more thing I want to tell you, do you know why there isn't a single hellish monster in the Misty Forest?" Varif's expression suddenly turned solemn.
"Well, it's because the demonic beasts in the misty forest are relatively strong." I remember what Variif said earlier.
"That's right, it's not right, the strength of the monsters is indeed stronger than the monsters, yes, but don't forget that these monsters can be resurrected, if the enemy is only slightly stronger, they won't be afraid at all, unless the other party is strong enough to make them fearful." Varif tweaked the charcoal from the campfire, his eyes flickering in the flickering light of the fire, and before we could take a look at his words, he continued.
"There are also classes among monsters, a group of monsters, led by the leader of the same kind, and the boss is managed by the elite who must accept the same kind, and the elite is under the orders of the mini-boss, and there is no doubt that the mini-boss of the entire camp is ruled by Andariel, that is. All the monsters in the entire camp are ruled by Andariel, do you know what I mean? ”
Everyone looks at me, I look at you, they all caught a trace of something from Varif's words, but they didn't dare to be sure, no, not so much not dare, but unwilling to think about it, only to feel a burst of smoke in their throats.
"Uncle mean that there is something in the Misty Forest that Andariel also fears?" That's when it happened. The crisp voice of Sarah in her arms finally broke the abrupt and quiet atmosphere.
"That's right."
Varif looked at us and affirmed Sarah's answer: "Angelesmon, the king of the Misty Forest, has a power that Andariel cannot match, and it is precisely because of its existence that it has kept this misty forest from being eroded by the forces of the Hell Clan. ”
"Then aren't we ......" The Ral's trio, who were still full of confidence because of the defeat of Andariel just now, had a bitter look on their faces at this time, and Andariel was already their hard work. It took nine deaths to defeat it, so this Angeles beast, which makes Andariel feared too, have a chance of winning if it really matches?
"Haha, I knew you guys would be in a hurry, don't worry, don't worry, no problem." Varif burst into a burst of laughter in which the conspiracy had succeeded: "The more powerful the monster, the higher the intelligence. As long as we don't take the initiative to provoke the Angeles Beast, it won't pay attention to us little people, if not, Lord Akara will send a master to kill it, no matter how powerful it is, can it still be stronger than the encirclement and suppression of Harogas and even the predecessors of the Second World? I tell you today, just to let you see for a long time. ”
"Okay, you Varif teases our ......." Everyone suddenly wondered if the Angeles Beast was really that dangerous, would the camp still let it go? No one could have imagined this. As a result, Variif was played.
After such a stirring by Varref, everyone was in a much better mood, and after chatting for a while, everyone lay down next to the campfire and slept in their clothes, and there was no word for the night.
After more than ten days, as we went deeper, the Misty Forest also showed its cold side. Those ferocious demonic beasts inevitably appeared after all. It's just that under the sharp claws of Xiaoxue, a small part of them returned home. Most of them became a corpse, and it rained a few times, but it was sporadic and not more than half an hour at most, and the sky was still dark, as if something was brewing, accompanied by dull thunder, dark clouds rolling, and from time to time a white snake cracked.
"Haha, the Misty Forest isn't a big deal." Doug casually cut a poisonous snake hanging from a tree in half with a short sword, wiped a handful of blood splashed on his face, and said with a nonchalant smile.
"I don't know who it is, giving the two puppies a round and turn." The back of the Lahr immediately poisoned, these words can be traced back to the day before yesterday, a few monsters that look like dogs, but the size is more than twice as large as the dog, Doug has already itched his hands and immediately rushed up, but there is no strength, the enemy is not killed, but they use the advantage of the forest to play around, and finally almost get lost, or Xiaoxue They easily packed up the guards, as the king of the forest, Xiaoxue their strength is even more stretched to the limit here, I'm afraid it's what Angeles beast is coming, we also have a fight.
"It was just an accident, an accident." Doug hurriedly argued, everyone talked and laughed all the way, and there was no longer the sorrow of the previous days, in fact, it was nothing to figure it out, no matter how bad the environment in the misty forest was, could it be worse than those cave tombs**?
"I'm so hungry."
I touched my belly, and there was a gurgling sound coming from inside.
"A slice?" Next to him, Douge shook off a piece of jerky in his hand.
"No need." I immediately shook my head, I guess it's almost time to rest, I'm still looking forward to Aunt Sari's cooking, Doug must be trying to tempt me to eat now, and then eat Aunt Sari to give me the land, hum, do you think that little bit of caution can escape my golden eyes?
When the conspiracy was revealed, Doug cut it fiercely, shook the piece of jerky, put it in his mouth, and chewed it deliberately: "Poor man, you see that we barbarians have different appetites, and we can eat no matter how much we eat." "Don't be proud of being a rice bucket." I sarcastically replied, then touched my belly, which was screaming louder, and decided to keep my mouth shut and not waste any more energy.
"Big brother, wait for Sarah to give you a barbecue." The little angel on the side shook my hand and said, "Mmmm, little baby, I appreciate your kindness, but forget it."
By the way, Sarah's cooking skills are on par with Morissa when she's in a bad mood......
At this moment, Variif in front of him suddenly made a move, his face changed a few times, and he seemed to be muttering words "strange" and "impossible" in his mouth, and then shook his head and continued to move forward, but his face clearly showed doubts, uneasiness and solemn expressions.
"Everybody pick up the pace." Hiding the uneasiness on his face, Variif shouted and took the lead.
The lazy crow that had been patrolling the air suddenly fell, and what came from the telepathy was its fear and uneasiness at the moment, but it was just caught in wisdom, and I could only read its current feelings, but I could not understand what it was trying to express.
Huge, dark shadows, are coming.
This vague information from the lazy crow, I glanced uneasily at Varif in front of me.
"It's nothing, speed up, it should be fine." Variif said with a bad face. "Damn, it's not a horde of monsters again." Doug muttered, he had appeared once a few days ago, but at that time Varif calmly led the crowd around, far less flustered than he was now.
Of all the people, except for Varif who seemed to know something, I am probably the only one who understands the danger at the moment, because of the alarm that came from the light snow and they were also emerging.
Ground......
My face changed, I slowed down, fell behind the crowd, and put my ear to the ground.
"Knock-knock-knock-"
The rhythmic vibration sound made me horrified - a clear and powerful pace, the group of demonic beasts would never be able to do it, in other words, there was only one demonic beast that caused this kind of vibration!!
What is the size and weight of the earth that makes the earth shake?
Barely calming down my chaotic mood, I easily jumped up to the crown of a large tree along the dense branches, and looked into the distance.
The picture is fixed in the forest to the south, in the gray horizon, in the forest with an average height of tens of meters, a clearly raised black shadow is slowly enlarging in my eyes......
