Red Chapter (44) Forest
"The more you think about it, the more you lose! What do you say you want to soothe my wounded heart! Sima Luming turned his head angrily and asked.
"I'll go! Calm down! Calm down! You're driving! You want to die yourself, don't drag us down! As Sima Luming turned his head, the car seemed to have hit something like a stone, and it shook violently, which frightened Li Fei, they couldn't see a trace of artificiality around them, thanks to the good performance of the off-road vehicle, this road that was almost covered by bushes, could barely drive, in case something went wrong with the car at this time, they could stand it.
"A little further on, it's time to walk." Lu Yuyao interrupted the frolic in the car, and was fortunate to be a guide, a little princess with a not very bright brain, but she had a strong sense of direction.
"That's right, Yu Haruka." Li Fei had a doubt in his heart for several days, and he wanted an answer in his free time, "I'm curious, that night, you looked like you should have run out of magic, right?" Why did it recover so quickly? Could this be the true resilience of the three-legged golden crow? ”
"It's not." The little princess shook her head, also at a loss, "I don't know, it seems that those black mist you brought, they replenished my magic power in an instant, it's really strange, that kind of power feels a little familiar!" ”
Lu Yuyao's familiar power? Who the hell is that voice in the dark? What kind of power did I get? Li Fei fell into deep thought.
As Lu Yuyao said, after driving for a short while, the only road disappeared into the dense forest.
"Let's go!" Li Fei asked everyone to pack up and get out of the car, and the four members of the "Night Wings" team went headlong into the vast forest.
The fireball pierced the dark calm and slammed headlong into the thick trunk of the tree, and the loud explosion startled the flocks of birds. The explosion tore a hole in the green barrier, revealing the darkest view of the forest.
"Oh yes! It's finally out! I've had enough! "In the frenzied shouting and running footsteps, the trees fell one by one, and a figure flew over the opening in the green barrier, and stepped on the rotten black dirt covered with dead vines and leaves.
Bent over, supporting his knees with his hands, panting hard, obviously in the summer, but a large cloud of white mist spit out from his mouth and nose, "You girl! I almost didn't drive Lao Tzu crazy! your grandma's! ”
After taking a few more deep breaths, Li Fei straightened up and shouted at the black hole forest behind him, after the awakening of his ability, he still had a sense of disgust for the dark for the first time, and his ability was still "dark"!
"Four-eyed spider, you say, is the boss crazy?" Zhuge Fox shook the folding fan and walked out of the forest leisurely, but he betrayed him in tattered clothes, and life in the forest was by no means as easy as he appeared.
"I don't understand if the stupid crow is crazy or not, I can't stand it anyway!" Sima Luming followed behind Zhuge Fox, who had always been calm and calm, but this time he was also full of resentment written on his face, "I'd rather go to your Zhuge family's gossip array more than a dozen times than enter this broken forest again!" ”
"I agree, I won't go in a second time if I am killed!" Li Fei threw another fireball into the forest, the darkness quickly buried the fireball he threw out, and there was nowhere to vent the anger in his stomach, Li Fei opened his mouth to scold, hesitated, but still held back, some responsibilities he couldn't afford, such as ...... Bring a certain little princess. The crow's ability to learn to speak is not bad, if his scolding is learned by an innocent little princess, and then accidentally let some gods hear it, he Li Fei will probably have to be a dumb person for the rest of his life.
"To be honest, a few days in the forest are really not human days!" Zhuge Fox put away the folding fan, abandoned the leisurely disguise, and replaced it with real exhaustion.
"We're still with the little princess as a guide! If someone else is changed, I think even if the X-level breaks in, it will inevitably suffer a meal. This 'Blood Rose' family is too exaggerated! Sima Luming simply sat on the cold, smelly dirt.
In the dark forest, every day is only night, and all electronic devices are out of order, only the mechanical watch given to Li Fei by Zhang Xianghui is faithfully performing its duties. When all means of communication with the outside world were lost, the direction was chaotic, and every beast and plant was like a dead corpse that had just crawled out of the grave, even if it was boiled into mud, the stench of corpses and the smell of blood still filled every cell.
The worst thing is that in this forest, even Lu Yuyao can't fly, close to the canopy, the air is thin as if you are in space, and the space is even more chaotic, obviously feeling like you are flying forward, but the surrounding scenery tells you that you are simply standing still.
It's not just the environment that's at risk, it's the beasts of the forest. In Li Fei's cognition, he had never encountered such a terrible animal, twenty-four hours a day, these madmen who did not need to rest were hovering around the intruder, their hunger for blood exceeded the fear of death, as long as there was still a breath, they would be desperate for any possible food in front of them. Although for two S-class people who have mastered magic, these aborigines in the forest can't threaten their lives, the endless harassment really makes Li Fei quite annoying.
However, what really gave Li Fei a headache in the forest was the "darkness" inside.
In the forest, the "dark" element is so violent that it can be regarded as the focus of surveillance in a mental hospital compared to the obedient and obedient outside world. When Li Fei tried to call "dark", these madmen, instead of being obedient, frantically impacted Li Fei's body. The good swimmer drowned, thanks to Lu Yuyao knocking Li Fei out in time, otherwise, Li Fei almost died on his most proud "dark" ability.
"Don't mess with magic." Li Fei was in a coma for a day and a night, and after waking up, Lu Yuyao's first sentence was to remind him, "The environment here is completely different from the outside world, using very ancient magic for protection, in the case that your magic power is far inferior to that of the caster, there is not much difference between using magic and committing suicide." ”
"Why is it that when it comes to your family, it is more or less involved in magic? You Black Rose family can't have slipped from the magical dimension before, right? Li Feiwei teased with a wry smile.
"Hey! We're suffering, but some people are having fun. As if to confirm Zhuge Fox's words, Lu Yuyao jumped up and down happily out of the forest, and every time he came to this pure natural environment, the little princess was always surrounded by flocks of birds.
"Bye-bye!" Lu Yuyao happily said goodbye to his new friends, the birds sang and responded, just to see the three big men in the distance, these "cute" birds, they exposed their true nature, a pair of pairs of eager to tear apart the eyes of the three, so that Li Fei, Zhuge Fox and Sima Luming cold hairs stand upright, the three of them will not doubt that if Lu Yuyao is not there to die, this group of birds will definitely swarm and peck them like food.
"Boss, I think the animals here must be male!" Zhuge Hu said seriously.
"Why?" Li Fei didn't react to the meaning of Zhuge Hu's words.
"Because, you see, after so many days in the forest, the little princess has not been attacked at all, and those beasts are all staring at us big men, this is not male, what is it?" Zhuge Fox said very seriously.
"It seems...... There is some truth to that! Li Fei looked at the birds that were reluctantly separated from Lu Yuyao, and suddenly had the urge to shoot them all to death, could it be that he was eating the vinegar of the birds? It must have been thinking too much, Li Fei slapped his face vigorously and drove the messy thoughts out of his mind.
"Don't listen to his!" Saying goodbye to his new friend, Lu Yuyao glared at Zhuge Fox fiercely, "The protection here has no effect on those who have the bloodline of the Black Rose family, and you are not the heirs of your father, so you will naturally suffer hardship!" Hum! Little fox, if you talk nonsense, believe it or not, I'll throw you back into the forest alone? ”
"Faith! I believe it! Of course I did! That one...... It's all your own people, don't be so ruthless! Little princess, I won't talk nonsense anymore! "Zhuge Fox doesn't dare to take Lu Yuyao's words as a joke, this little princess, when her temper comes, she will probably really throw herself into the forest, and he Zhuge Fox is not Li Fei, but there is no way to make the little princess obedient.
"That's it! Stop it! Don't forget to get down to business. Yu Yao, where do you go next? Breaking free from the shadow of the forest, Li Fei regained his spirits.
"Next, let's move on!" Lu Yuyao pointed ahead.
"Before? What's ahead? Sima Luming stared ahead, the thick fog completely blocked the view, the extremely unnatural fog, the discerning person could see at a glance that it was to hide something.
Stroking the ring finger of his right hand, the ring unique to the Black Rose family, Lu Yuyao slowly walked to the thick fog, bowed slightly, crossed his hands on his chest, and whispered a language that even Zhuge Fox and Sima Luming had never heard of, the black light bloomed in Lu Yuyao's hands, and the thick fog contracted in a panic, running away, and what was hidden behind the white fog was exposed to everyone.
A dilapidated iron fence towering over the black dirt. In the center of the iron fence, on a rusty iron door, the emblem of the Blood Rose family, composed of bats, reverse crosses, and roses, was so red that it seemed to drip blood. Living, withered vines, covered with iron gates and fences, show off their territory and tenacity to visitors.
Through the gaps between the fences, you can see the incomplete tombstones, which were once like works of art, lingering in the overgrown courtyard, and this unattended courtyard, although dilapidated, can still see its former prosperity.
A barely visible path stretches deep into the courtyard, owls whispering on ugly branches, bats flapping their wings, and wandering above the path over and over again.
Under the cold moonlight...... Yes, the moment the fog dissipated, the bright afternoon sun disappeared into the moonlight, and the dark forest behind everyone hid in the thick fog, fog, fog, like two different worlds.
An old castle, in the foggy moonlight, awaits guests, but the long-lost visitor needs to prove to the closed door that he is qualified to enter the castle.
"Follow me! If he gets lost here, except for his sister, probably no one will have the ability to save him out! Lu Yuyao stretched out his left hand, the ring that symbolized the blood of the black rose was still emitting black light, for the little princess's warning, no one did not take it seriously, with the experience in the forest, no one would doubt how terrible the protective magic used by this ancient family would be.
Li Fei and the three of them cautiously followed behind Lu Yuyao, this picture looked a little ridiculous, three big men, hiding behind a girl, with a nervous face, the girl looked very relaxed, humming an unknown song, happily leading the way in front, ignoring the horror movie-like scenes around them.
"Knock knock!" Lu Yuyao tapped lightly on the door a few times, and the blood-red light depicted the castle owner, the emblem of the ancient family, on the ancient door.
"Excuse me, who is visiting?" A high-pitched, shrill voice asked behind the door, a voice that sounded rather unpleasant and uncomfortable, but full of humility. It is rare in this world to be able to knock on this door, but all of them are very special existences, and the owner of the voice must know this very well.
"The youngest daughter of the Black Rose family, Lu Yuyao." Lu Yu said proudly, Blood Rose is just a branch and vassal of the Black Rose family, as the little princess of the Black Rose family, her status here can at least be compared to the owner of the castle.
"House of Black Rose?" The voice behind the door became alert, I didn't hear that there would be a messenger from the Black Rose family today, and the little princess came to the door in person, could someone pretend?
"Black Rose family, why don't you have the surname Black Rose, and you will call Lu Yuyao such an oriental name?" A shrill voice asked, a somewhat offensive and abrupt question, but he needed to be more careful about the visit of the little princess of the Black Rose family, even if he really offended the visitor for it.
Lu Yuyao didn't seem to expect the other party to ask such a slightly private question, he was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that he was a yacht and a car along the way, and he had too much fun, and forgot to tell the other party in advance, no wonder the other party would ask such a question, and took a step closer, Lu Yuyao almost put his mouth on the door, and whispered something in a strange language.
Li Fei, who was standing behind Lu Yuyao, was puzzled in his heart, Lu Yuyao would actually deliberately hide him? The name of Yuyao is also a secret in the Black Rose family, isn't it?
The strange whispering quickly ended, and Lu Yuyao cautiously took off the ring on his right hand and displayed it in front of the door.
Heavy dust fell, and in the sound of rust, the castle gates struggled to open, revealing the dim candlelight behind them.
"Welcome to visit, Your Highness Lu Yuyao." The shrill voice was humble again.
