Chapter 472: Sunset Forest

() Lu Tao didn't know where the name Sunset Forest came from, or because it was in the extreme west, and the sun rose every day, and finally set on the horizon of this forest.

Anyway, there was really no way ahead, and unless Lisa replaced the two creatures pulling the cart in front of her for a bulldozer, there was some possibility that she would continue walking.

Lu Tao looked at the map carefully, and he still remembered where the correct road Lisa pointed out was, so if he wanted to turn from that road to the Sunset Forest, then he would need to go wrong at least three times to do it.

Looking at Lisa's constant observation of the map, but there was nothing to gain, Lu Tao had to stretch out his hand and point to the forks of several roads, and said to Lisa: "Let's go back and turn left from here, and then go back, turn left again to walk to the road next to it, and follow this road all the way forward, it is the right way." ”

"Is that so?" Lisa frowned, still looking carefully at the intersecting horizontal and vertical lines on the map for a long time, and finally nodded in disbelief: "Then try it according to what you say, and then talk about it in case you make a mistake." ”

Lu Tao: "......"

What do you say?

I don't know if the road is too boring, Xiaoying, who has been sitting between the two boxes in the back, has fallen asleep, Lisa took out a blanket from the burden next to her, covered Xiaoying, and then began to control the two cow-like creatures to turn around.

Oh, by the way, Lu Tao already knows what the names of these two creatures are, their names are very simple and easy to understand, they are directly called unicorns.

The unicorn that pulled the cart all the way was not very obedient, no matter how Lisa pulled, the unicorn was standing still and did not turn back at all, Lu Tao had to step forward to help, and used brute force to make the two one-legged cows turn around.

However, even if the two unicorns were allowed to turn around, they remained where they were, making a sound similar to that of the ox, but they did not go any further.

"Ah, I remember, it's time to feed them!"

Lisa patted her head for a moment, as if to remember this, and then she walked over to the cloth bag hanging in the back of the cart, opened it and took a look: "Hey, where did the forage go?

After rummaging through a few more bags, Lisa had no choice but to spread her hands: "I'm afraid that tonight, we are going to stay here for one night, the forage of the unicorn doesn't seem to be brought, and the grass around it alone can't replenish the physical strength of the unicorn, so they can only have a good night's rest after eating, so that they can recover their physical strength." ”

Lu Tao nodded, indicating that he understood, just like the cattle and horses that Lu Tao had seen, these animals wanted to maintain enough physical strength, not just eating grass was enough, the most common additive forage was beans, as long as beans were added to it, the cow or horse could be fully supplemented.

In just a few moments, the sun that had not yet set before had been gradually blocked by the high shade of the sunset forest, and before the sky was yet dark, Lisa lit a bonfire, and the period from evening to night when the night sky was covered with stars and moons was the darkest time in the world, especially in the forest, which was probably more akin to reaching out and not seeing five fingers.

After such a toss, Xiaoying also woke up, he helped pick up the firewood, and for the rest of the time, he looked ignorant, as if

I didn't wake up.

......

"Woohoo! Woohoo!!"

I don't know what kind of animal came out, from the depths of the forest, in the shadows blocked by the shade of the trees, I don't know how many pairs of eyes were looking at this side, but whether it was Lisa or Xiaoying, they didn't seem to be too afraid of this situation, they just cut things like steamed buns into slices, and then skewered them on top of wooden sticks and roasted them on the fire.

This is the dinner of a few people, and the two unicorns, on their own, gnawed on the grass growing on the ground, the two unicorns were tied to the trunk of the tree by a rope, the location was next to the fire, Lu Tao and Lisa could see, if these two unicorns were allowed to look for food on their own, maybe they would be eaten by something in the forest, the characteristics of wild animals that are afraid of fire seem to be the same everywhere, since Lisa lit the bonfire, at most you can hear some howls from different creatures.

"Oh, it's baked!

Lisa took the food that was originally roasted on the flame to her eyes and looked at it, then blew it carefully, and then took it from the wooden branch and handed it to Lu Tao, Lu Tao took it and took a bite, this thing seems to be indeed a steamed bun, it is crispy and crispy after being roasted over the fire, except for some dryness, the taste is not bad.

"Sister Lisa!" Xiao Ying asked Lisa while eating the food in her hand, "Sister Lisa, is this really the Sunset Forest?" I remember that the legend says that the Sunset Forest is an area created by the gods, and mortals will be cursed if they enter here, is that true?"

"Nonsense!" Lisa took a bite of her share of the roasted steamed bun and glared at Xiaoying: "We are believers in the God of Light, how can we believe in these fallacies? God is absolutely kind to the world, how can he create a forest to make people cursed? Don't talk nonsense about these things in the future, in case others hear it, you will be locked up." ”

"Okay, Sister Lisa, then I won't talk about it. ”

Not long after, Xiaoying couldn't help but say again: "Sister Lisa, I'm thirsty." ”

Lisa took out a metal kettle from the bag next to her and handed it to Xiaoying: "Drink slowly, don't drink it all in one go, until we find a water source, we only have this water." ”

"Oh, got it, Sister Lisa!"

Xiaoying opened the kettle, took two sips, closed the lid again, and returned the kettle to Lisa, Lisa handed the kettle to Lu Tao and asked, "Do you want to drink?"

Lu Tao shook his head: "No, thank you!"

He also heard what Lisa said just now, there is not much to eat and drink now, these are the portions that Lisa brought out alone, if he can catch up with the large army tomorrow, maybe there are other foods to eat, of course, the good news is that according to Lisa, the people who escaped from the Cathedral of Light did not go too far, the shelter is about fifteen kilometers southwest of the Cathedral of Light, there is a fortress and many soldiers stationed there, who can protect the safety of everyone in the Cathedral of Light, waiting for other forces to come to help。

In fact, about food and water, Lu Tao is not too worried, after all, this is a forest, it may not be easy to find a motorcycle, but those bouncing small animals and water sources can be found everywhere, when he just came here, the sharp-eyed Lu Tao also saw a fawn that escaped from the side, just when he was about to attack the fawn, he was stopped by Lisa, according to Lisa, except

If it is not necessary, it is better not to touch the creatures in this forest, as for the reason, Lu Tao guessed that it was related to the incident that Xiaoying said just now, regardless of whether this sunset forest was created by God or not, as a believer in God, Lisa was unwilling to do anything superfluous, for fear of angering the gods.

After dinner, the sky finally lit up, the moon and bright stars of this world hung in the sky, finally making the outline of the forest much clearer, of course, it also made the fleeting black shadows in the forest more obvious, their speed was very fast, even with Lu Tao's eyes, there was no way to see what it was.

After eating, it was time to go to bed, just when it was not yet dark, Lisa and Lu Tao, who had lit the bonfire, managed to set up a tent with those hay and dry wood on the side, the function of the tent was very simple, it was just to shelter from the wind and rain, looking at the current sky, it was impossible to rain, and the wind seemed to be unable to blow.

Xiaoying got into the tent first, holding the blanket she had just draped on her body, Lu Tao looked at Lisa's eyes, and finally reacted, he took the initiative to say: "You and Xiaoying go to sleep, I don't have to sleep at night, just keep vigil outside." ”

"That'...... I'll get up in the middle of the night to change you, and you can squint a little bit by the fire......"

"No, no, you just go to sleep, and I'll call you tomorrow morning." Lu Tao waved his hand and rejected Lisa's proposal, he really didn't have to sleep, and even if Lisa asked him to get into the tent and sleep with a little girl, Lu Tao would definitely refuse, not to mention that Lisa was uncomfortable, he himself was uncomfortable.

"Okay...... Then I'll go to sleep first, and keep an eye on the situation in the forest, and if any beasts come to disturb us, drive them away, and don't kill them. Lisa nodded, patiently admonishing before entering the tent.

This is the second time Lisa has said such a thing, and Lu Tao remembered his guess just now, maybe this sunset forest is really related to some god, which is why Lisa is so close to the enemy, and tells Lu Tao not to hurt the animals in the forest.

Speaking of which, Lu Tao really wants to barbecue meat or something, he hasn't eaten anything decent for almost two days, Lu Tao is quite hungry for protein, he wants to eat a tender ~ juicy roast chicken now, or a big elbow that is shiny and shiny, and he feels hungry when he thinks about it.

When Lisa and Xiaoying got into the tent, and the outside finally quieted down, Lu Tao sat next to the bonfire, watching the flames burn fiercely while making a crackling sound, and then threw the firewood piled on the side into the fire, watching the thick and thin firewood fall into the fire, splashing pieces of jumping sparks, which is also a particularly comfortable environment.

Lu Tao is roasting the fire, while observing the stars in the sky, the stars here are of course different from the stars that Lu Tao is familiar with, there is no North Star, there is no Big Dipper, and there is no this and that, these stars are scattered in the sky, and there is also a Milky Way in the center, but it is much more lush than the Milky Way on the earth, and I don't know how many bright stars are hidden in it.

Suddenly, Lu Tao seemed to hear an unusual sound, and he suddenly remembered something, and the veterans who had retired from the battlefield said that when the landing point of the cannonball was in his position, the sound of the cannonball flying was completely different from the sound of other cannonballs that were not nearby.
