Fortunately, both of them have rich experience in adventures, discussed it together, and decided to try to find a "forest road" to get out.

The so-called "forest path" in dense forests refers to the passages left behind by the walking of large animals or indigenous creatures of the forest. Although these passages are not really "roads" yet, because those animals or indigenous people have walked through them, there will be relatively few obstacles on the way, and they will be easy to open.

Of course, neither of them was sure if there was a forest road in this forest. However, white foxes have been spotted before, so there may be large animals in this dense forest.

The two searched along the edge of the forest.

"Wait. "As she passed two large trees, the Ice Bear Abyss stopped Catherine.

Catherine turned her head to see the Ice Bear Abyss staring at the two thick trees next to each other.

The old barbarian reached out and touched the trunk of a large tree, "Here." ”

Catherine stepped forward and touched the trunk of the tree, and found a gap in the trunk. It may be a problem with the color of the trunk, this gap is not visible to the naked eye, and it is very easy to ignore, but it can be clearly felt when you touch it.

"It's a hard scratch. "The Ice Bear Abyss compares it with its fist, which means that it is caused by a hard object the size of a fist passing through the middle of a tree trunk and grazing against it.

The Ice Bear Abyss tried to climb through the gap between the two large trees, but he only glanced at it and said, "We're lucky." ”

After climbing over the tree, Catherine saw a passage that had clearly been carved out. Although it is not very wide, and there are many small saplings, this is no ordinary "forest road".

"There are people in this forest. Catherine said.

"It's probably indigenous, they just don't know how fast the trees grow here. Ice Bear Abyss nodded, "But this path is new." ”

Most of the indigenous creatures that can open the way are intelligent, and that's good news so far.

The Ice Bear Abyss walked along the carved forest path, and Catherine followed in her footsteps.

The two of them made their way deeper into the forest. The forest is tall and leafy, and the sky is very dark. But the snow still fell into the forest, and there was a thick layer under your feet, and it "creaked" when you stepped on it.

Suddenly, the Ice Bear Abyss stopped, raised his hand and made a silent motion.

Catherine immediately held her breath and didn't make a sound. Since the old barbarian was tall and blocked the way, she didn't know what the other party had discovered.

The two waited motionless for a moment, and a rhythmic sound sounded in their ears. The sound was still quite far away, coming from across the woods.

"Do, do, do......"

After a while, there was a faint "boom" and the breaking of branches.

The Ice Bear Abyss looked back and said, "It's like logging." ”

Someone logging shows that there are intelligent creatures deep in the forest.

The Ice Bear Abyss moved forward again, but this time he walked more cautiously, observing his surroundings.

The forest road was unconsciously wide, and Catherine could easily discern the signs of severed branches on either side of the road.

After another walk, there was even a fork in the road.

The two stopped discussing, and the Ice Bear Abyss said, "There may be an indigenous tribe ahead, I hope they can communicate." ”

"Hmm. Catherine nodded, "I tested it just now, and although it is cold and snowy here, only the fire element and the wind element can be perceived. There is a limit to the assistance I can provide. ”

"Just follow me as closely as you can. ”

There was another "boom" in front of him, stirring up a snow fog. The Ice Bear Abyss pointed and felt towards the place where the wood was fell.

As I got closer and closer to the logging site, I heard shouts. Catherine and the Ice Bear Abyss hid behind a large tree and saw a group of dwarf native creatures running in a clearing where many trees had been felled. They are only as tall as ordinary people's knees, and their hands and feet are very slender. The head was a round ball with five or six thick tentacles on it.

All the indigenous creatures ran towards a fallen tree. They gathered around the tree and tried to move it, but the tree was so thick and heavy that the indigenous creatures couldn't move it.

Catherine whispered, "It seems to have pressed my companions, do you want to help them?"

The Ice Bear Abyss thought for a moment and said, "Wait a little longer." ”

The natives had been busy for a long time to no avail, and one of the leader-like fellows called out. The natives followed him towards the woods, and in a moment they were gone.

"Let's go!" the Ice Bear Abyss came out from behind the tree, beckoning Catherine to come over and take a look.

The two of them came to the fallen tree, and saw several indigenous creatures pressed under the tree. It looks like they've all been smashed, and it's impossible to survive if they are rescued.

Catherine crouched down and took a closer look at a native, half of his head exposed. Interestingly, the tentacles on their heads actually have organs on the tops, such as eyes and mouths.

Catherine picked up a branch and flicked it. The eyed tentacle jerked up and stared at Catherine. The female mage was startled and hurriedly retreated. Another tentacle with a long mouth also cocked at this time, "grunting" and saying something that he couldn't understand.

The Ice Bear Abyss heard the voice and walked over, looked at the native and said, "This is not crushed. ”

"He's supposed to be crying out for help. Catherine said, "Do you want to save it?"

"I'll get him out, you guard against him. The Ice Bear Abyss was silent for a second and made a decision.

Catherine raised her palm, gathering a fireball to guard aside.

The Ice Bear Abyss stepped forward, hugged the trunk of the big tree, and let out a muffled shout, and the half-human hugging thick tree actually lifted him up.

Several of the native creatures crushed under the tree immediately rolled out. Their flattened bodies returned to normal as if they were inflated.

Several indigenous creatures gathered together, the tentacles with long eyes on their heads staring at Catherine and the Ice Bear Abyss, and the tentacles with mouths "grunting" words that they couldn't understand.

The Ice Bear Abyss threw down the tree and walked back to Catherine's side. The mage held the fireball and suddenly threw it into the clearing in the distance.

With a "bang", the fireball exploded, and a stump emitted a red flame, deforming and melting.

The natives screamed and fled backwards into the woods.

After a while, the fire on the molten stump disappeared, and it cooled and hardened again.

The native creatures then emerged from the woods again, and several of them ran to the stump to watch. The other two watched Catherine and the Ice Bear Abyss from afar, pointing.

At this time, a lot of noise came from the woods, and dense indigenous creatures poured out of the woods. It looks like there are at least a few hundred of them, and there's a steady stream of them on the back. As soon as they saw the indigenous creatures pressed under the big tree, they immediately gathered together, and the sound of "grunting" continued.

Catherine and the Ice Bear Abyss also had a numb scalp when they saw so many indigenous creatures, and it would be difficult to deal with so many things if they swarmed up and attacked them. But now it's impossible to run, and the woods around the clearing seem to be full of these indigenous creatures. There are trees and ground, and the number is incalculable.

It's just that these guys are a little afraid of Catherine and the others, and they only dare to surround them, and no one dares to approach.
