chapter20

Miracle fruit, as the name suggests, is a fruit that produces a miraculous effect when eaten.

The magic fruit is a fruit that only appears in ancient books, and it is said that hundreds of years ago, there was a magician whose strength had reached the first order on the Star Luo Continent, and he wandered in the first order for decades, and he was unable to break through and upgrade to a special level magician. He was very distressed about this, in order to find a way to get himself up to the next level, he traveled all over the Star Luo Continent, and even the adjacent End Sea Continent and the Lunar Eclipse Continent had also been there, but he was still trapped in the first order and couldn't go to the next level, just when he was discouraged, he inadvertently ate a strange-shaped fruit, and when this fruit was in his stomach, his already stagnant magic power actually flowed again, and became more and more full, and he was actually promoted to a special level magician in one fell swoop! Of course, if he was the only one who had this adventure, then others would probably only regard it as a coincidence, but in the following hundreds of years, a few more people were promoted because of eating that kind of fruit, especially when a man who had only become a second-order knight reached the level of a first-order knight in an instant after eating this fruit, more and more people were eyeing this fruit and named it "magic fruit".

"There have been no rumors of miracle fruits on the mainland for many years," Filsey said. ”

Monroe said, "I told you that this was decades ago, but in the end, no one was able to find the magic fruit in the Forest of Terror, and many people died. ”

"It's mostly a rumor," said Filsie, "if someone really finds the magic fruit, why don't he eat it himself or take it away, even if he doesn't need to put it up for auction...... The money he got would allow him to buy a city. ”

Monroe said: "My teacher also said that the magic fruit is nothing, but too many people don't listen to persuasion, especially when several batches of people who enter the horror forest are dead, and there are more people later, their idea is that the magic fruit is so powerful that it must not be easy to get, and the more difficult it is to get it, the more it shows the truth of the rumors." ”

"How did it stop then?" said Tacales. ”

Monroe said, "There are so many people who have died, I don't know, I wasn't born yet." ”

As a few people spoke, they officially stepped into the forest of terror, and the moment they were in this mist, their vision blurred, as if the flowing wind had become viscous and heavy, covering their eyes, ears, nose, and nose, so that they could not see, hear, speak, or smell clearly. A few people immediately stood still and moved closer to Monroe, and after a few minutes, the stagnant heaviness dissipated, and their five senses returned to normal, but this recovery fù They all took a breath of cool air in unison, and the boundary of the horror forest was gone!

"What's going on?" said Monhama. Our carriage is gone, and the way we came is gone! ”

Filsey said, "It's the enchantment. ”

"What should I do?" Monthama asked. Can this barrier be broken? If we can't get out of the barrier, then even if we pick the moonflower, we won't be able to return to Marion City. ”

Filsi said, "Don't worry, there will always be a way to crack the barrier, let's move forward first and then plan slowly." ”

"Yes," said Tacales, "listen to Firsie." ”

"Well, well," said Monhama, "I suddenly feel that our mission is only a hundred gold, which is a lot. ”

"I feel the same way," said Tacales. ”

The deeper the five of them went into the Forest of Terror, the more they could feel the chill of the forest, which had a chilling horror, and slowly climbed up to the top of the human feet like living creatures, and even the scalp would be numb and tense. At the same time, a cold wind blew by, and it came from all directions, rustling the leaves, making the clothes fly, and blowing the candles of incense.

Monroe used his right hand to block the candle, but he could only block one side of the wind, so it did not work, and the candlelight became a flat boat in the churning sea, and it was in danger of capsizing at any moment.

Seeing this, Takales hurriedly gathered his hands around him and used them as a barrier to cover the candles.

"Do we need a lampshade? ”

Monroe said: "The main function of contemplative incense is that the fragrance it emits can help us block out the negativity in the woods, and if we put a lampshade on it, the fragrance will be much weaker, and the effect will not be good." ”

Takales said, "Does the Dreadlin have a consciousness of its own? The wind is like a candle flame for incense. ”

Monhama laughed dryly, "Taka, you're thinking too much, it's too nonsense for the woods to be self-conscious or something, and it's not a living thing. ”

Takales asked rhetorically, "Isn't it nonsense that the woods can spread extreme love?" ”

Monhama was speechless.

The wind grew stronger, and Lub's robe rolled up against his own face, and he bent down with a cold face and knotted the hem of his robe.

Lub said, "Let's hurry up." ”

"It can't be fast!" said Monhama! We're all shielding the candlesticks from the wind, and as soon as we go fast, the candles will be extinguished. ”

The shape of the five members of Takales was a bit stupid, they surrounded the city in a circle, and each contributed a hand to cover the candlestick, forming an artificial windshield for the incense to the contemplation, which directly led to their slow march, if there was a snail next to them, I am afraid that even the snail would be faster than them.

"Lub is right, we have to pick up the pace, the wind is not right," said Filsie. ”

Monroe said, "There is a smell in the wind. ”

Takales sniffed and asked, "What smell?" ”

"I don't know," said Monroe, "it's a faint scent, but it's getting stronger...... his usual smile was gone, replaced by a frightened solemnity, "and this scent is replacing the smell of the incense, if the smell of the incense is masked......

Filsie took the second half of the sentence for him, "That contemplation incense is useless, we will all fall into extreme love and become fertilizer in the horror forest!" ”

The five of them fell silent for a moment.

Concentrating incense is the only guarantee that they can walk freely in the horror forest, and without it, they will all die in this forest!

"What should I do?" Monthama asked. No matter how fast or slow we go, the incense is about to become useless. ”

Filsey said, "Monroe, would it be useful for us to put some incense under our nose?" ”

"It worked, but it didn't last long," Monroe said. ”

Filsey asked, "How long?" ”

Monroe said, "Two minutes, if the incense doesn't burn, the fragrance will evaporate quickly." ”

"There's no other way now, we'll all put some incense on ourselves, and if the incense is almost too good for ourselves, we'll put another layer on ourselves, and we'll run out of the wind belt first." ”

Tacales said, "What if the whole forest is blowing? ”

Filsie said, "Then ask for more blessings." ”

Filsey is the brainchild of the team, and he can't think of a good solution, let alone anyone else.

Takales said, "Okay, break off the incense sticks, and each of you will carry one piece, and I will run to the front, and you all will run with me, and you will not run away!" ”

All should be "well."

The incense was divided, and at the command of Takales, all five of them ran as fast as they could. The wind was already blowing strongly, and they ran against the wind, and it felt really uncomfortable, as if they were swimming in a sea with huge waves. The light wind seems to have become solid, heavy and sharp, blowing on the face makes people's skin hurt, and even has the illusion of hitting the wall, which makes people's eyes feel like gold stars!

Takales shouted, "Protect your head!" ”

As soon as Takales cried, a gust of wind poured into his mouth, and it made him swallow a stone, and his stomach felt like it was on fire. He closed his mouth, held his breath, ran with his head shut, ran and ran, he felt the resistance lessen, and by the time he stopped, he was in the windless zone.

Takales gasped for breath, and suddenly felt a scent different from that of contemplative incense, and he hurriedly re-applied a little incense to his nose, and only then did he cover the peculiar scent.

Takales turned around and said, "All right, there's no wind here, let's ......" and he was halfway through his words when he got stuck, because none of the four of them were gone!

Monroe was an apprentice pharmacist, a profession with very low physical requirements, and after running wild for two minutes, he lost his strength and panted like a dog! As soon as the wind stopped, he couldn't stand it anymore, and immediately fell to the ground, pulled out the water bladder in his backpack and drank water, trying his best to adjust his breathing rate.

Monroe asked, "What about the others?" ”

"I don't know, it's so strange, I'm running with Taka, why did I get separated?" Filsie and Lub are also gone. ”

Monroe said, "This is probably also an enchantment, just like the horror forest that isolates us from the outside world, maybe there are many different enchantments in this forest as well." ”

"That's the only explanation," said Monhama, "so how are we going to find them?" ”

"I don't know," said Monroe, "but we must do our best, for each of them carries enough incense for them to use for half a day, and they will be in danger if we cannot meet before dark." ”

"But who knows when it will be dark?" said Monthama. ”

Both Monhama and Monroe looked up at the sky, and all they saw was darkness and the shadows of the trees in the darkness—in this world, there was no day or night.
