77F, Forbidden Land for Heroes
"Why be surprised?" asked Ah Xuan.
"Why aren't you surprised?" asked Earl rhetorically, "Have you ever seen a forest more spectacular than this before?"
Ah Xuan frowned and shook his head, "I'm sorry, I can't remember." ”
Earl was helpless, and he knew that talking to this person was in vain.
"These trees are supposed to be giant sequoias, a type of redwood. It can grow to an average of 50 to 85 meters, but the highest does not exceed 100 meters. It's not the tallest tree, but it's much stronger than the tallest tree. Moran said.
"You know?" said Earl.
"Uh...... It is written in popular science books. Moran said.
Moran is right, she did read it in popular science books, but not popular science books in this world.
"What's the tallest tree?"
"It's a coast redwood, the highest is nearly 120 meters, but compared to the giant sequoia, it's very thin. Moran said, silently adding in her heart, if she remembered correctly.
"Hai? do you mean what Massadrian mentions in his biography of adventures...... Is it the end of the world?"
Well, yes, this information is also mentioned in his biography of adventures. Moran said.
Although the world has the concept of the sea, it is as ethereal as a fairy tale, only the biographies written by several adventurers refer to the endless blue pool, and then the concept is locked into the "sea".
"Really...... I can't remember. Earl tried to recall.
"That...... Don't delay here, let's hurry up!" Moran quickly changed the subject, "I'm going to see how Ainsley is doing?" ”
Moran lifted the curtain of the carriage, and inside was Ainslie, who had been wrapped in hemp rope and made into a rice dumpling, with a coarse cloth in his mouth.
Ainsley was tied up like this, not because of his previous attempt to escape, but because he didn't want to go to the Heroes' Forbidden Lands.
Although Moran didn't mean to hide it, it was a coincidence, and when they mentioned the Forbidden Land of Heroes, Ainsley was either asleep or not around.
It wasn't until Ainsley noticed that the scenery around them was a little familiar, that he realized that they were heading in the direction of the ancient forest of Lalgu.
Ainslie's face changed instantly, and he yelled that he should never step into the forest, and ripped off his clothes, revealing the terrible marks on his chest, saying that there were giant bears in the depths of the forest, and that they would be haunted, in order to scare them away...... Then Moran beat Ainslie with "Shameless hooligan!"
Moran actually beat him up last time.
But her strength was too small, and with a punch, Ainsley was not hurt much, and Moran held the red and swollen hand and complained.
"Shoot me to death! I don't want to go to such a horrible place, even if I die!"
Ainsley doesn't play hooligans, he plays scoundrels.
Lie on the spot and pretend to be dead.
Moran asked Ah Xuan to help teach him a lesson, but Ah Xuan decisively refused.
Never attacking people who have no will to fight, which makes Moran very touched and headaches.
came up with a compromise and asked Ah Xuan to tie up Ainslie and throw him in the car.
Moran wanted to kill Ainslie at first, but it was providence that he was able to survive, and she asked him to lead the way and take her to the place where her brother had disappeared.
And this bundle is until now.
Moran gave Ainsley an ultimatum.
"Listen, Ansley Packard, it doesn't matter if you don't want to go, I'll let the horse carry you in like that. When the time comes, if you encounter danger in the forest, in order to escape for your life, I will definitely be the first to send you out this burden and become a meal for the beast...... And when the time comes, you will have no power to resist and will only watch yourself being eaten by the beast bite by bite. ”
Moran had a smile on her face, but her smile was different from the past, without a trace of warmth.
Cruel, evil, crazy, terrifying, and overshadowed by a lingering gloom...... As Earl said.
Ainsley was covered in cold sweat with fright, looked at Moran in horror, and then nodded slowly.
Moran took the cloth off his mouth, and Ainslie hurriedly said, "Okay, good...... I'll just agree to go with you, right?, but I have one condition, if I can come back alive from the forest, you're going to let me go, and you can't cast a curse on me or anything like that!"
"Thank you for your cooperation. Moran said, "Ah Xuan, untie him, if he wants to escape, beat him unconscious, tie him up again, and prepare to throw him into the bear's den!"
-
The mountain road in the forest was rugged, and the carriage did not work here, so Moran and the others left the cart outside the forest and only took the horses.
The rolls and some of the daily necessities were carried by the horses, and the pots, clothes, and the rest of the daily necessities were carried by Ainslie, and the huge package was like a hump, which made him a little overwhelmed.
Ainsley complained that it was no different from tying him up, but he relaxed a lot after receiving permission that you could throw these things away in case of danger.
The most important food was divided between Earl and Moran, about three and a half people, half a month's food, because Moran had a small amount of food compared to them.
Even if the horses and Ainsley were frightened or accidentally lost their things, they would not starve to death in the forest.
In addition, Earl also carried a longbow on his back, although he could move a half, but it was too far behind Ah Xuan and Ainslie, fortunately he could also bow and arrow, and the auxiliary things fell on his head.
Ah Xuan carried the bare minimum on his back, because they needed him to protect a few people.
Moran was able to make up her mind to come here because she believed in Ah Xuan's strength.
Looking at the forest in front of him, Moran took out a monocle of gold-chained glasses from his pocket and put them on, taking a deep breath, "Let's go!"
-
Although the giant sequoia is tall, the foliage is not as lush as those trees, and the forest is not as dark as it is in the impression, and the climate here is like autumn, the west wind is slightly cool, and the sound of birdsong in your ears makes you relax.
Moran straightened his monocle gold chain glasses and took Erbai's vision into his eyes.
Her crystal ball had long been lost in that corner, and Moran had a headache for a while, until Ah Xuan told her that as long as she signed a contract with the Seven-Star Winged Owl, she would be able to input true qi into any glass or reflective plane, and see the transmitted image.
In a situation like Moran that has no true qi, it is okay to establish a connection with blood.
Moran was limited by the "crystal surveillance magic" that Seeley told her, and thought she had to have a crystal ball.
After that, Moran chose monocles, which allowed her to receive images from Erbai without hindering her movements.
"Is this really a forbidden place for heroes?" Moran wondered, "There are only a few smaller birds around here, and there is no sign of any beasts in sight. ”
"Inside. Ainslie said.
In his memory, the huge black bear that attacked them was still vivid, but the tranquility and tranquility in front of him gave him an illusion of what he had experienced......
Ainsley hurriedly shook his head, looking at the peaceful forest warily.
The scar on his chest says it all.
And his legs are always ready to run!
