Chapter 114: Silence
Breathing in the air beyond the defensive canopy, it made no difference. There are still some mottled traces on the grass around the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info, which are not very obvious, apparently it has been a while, and the newly grown grass has covered these traces, leaving only a little bit of difference.
Walking through this grassland, I came to the outskirts of the Rising Sun Forest in the east of Aichengrad, and stood on the flat grass and looked at the forest in front of me. The giant trees in the sky stand quietly there, guarding the tranquility of this forest.
Suddenly, a breeze swept by, and the rustle of leaves shook in the forest, and a group of unknown flying creatures flew up from the far forest, letting out a strange cry.
"Ah...... Yes...... Ah......h
It was a hot time in October, but the wind blowing from the forest had a hint of coolness, accompanied by the strange cries of the otherworldly creatures in the distance, which was particularly permeating.
"Hiss......"
George gasped, and for some reason when the wind blew, he got goosebumps all over his body. A little inexplicably looked around, and said vigilantly patted Robert standing in front of him.
"Hey! Robert, are you really going? ”
It was obvious that the wind had scared George a little, and he seemed to feel that something invisible was watching them. Compared to the team of the school discipline team, all of them are high-level mages, and the team leader is still a magister. Except for Robert, who is a magister, he is a high-level mage, the combat power of the other three people is almost negligible, if there is really something, it should start from a soft persimmon like them!
"You...... Scared? ……”
Robert's voice seemed to come from the distance, some trilling, some echoing, which immediately startled George. hurriedly took two steps back, and then found that Robert and Lisserrot and the others turned to look at him, only to realize that it was just because of the wind just now, George, who was a little embarrassed, touched the back of his head and smiled.
"No, let's go, I hope to find Mr. Thales sooner."
Robert nodded, not paying attention to George's actions, and led the way into the forest. Robert, George, and Oyce walked in first, and seeing that the three of them had already entered, Lisserrot took a deep breath and looked at the somewhat eerie forest in front of him. glanced at Lu Yumian and made up his mind to follow in.
As soon as you walk into the Rising Sun Forest, the feeling that comes from all around you is different. I don't know if it's because the forest blocks the sunlight and brings shade, or because of the Rising Sun Forest itself, that cool feeling surrounds me all the time.
There is no wind in the forest, or there is a wind in the past, but when you enter the forest, you are blocked by the many trees in the forest, and when you are blocked by bushes and many unknown plants, the strong wind will calm down.
Quiescence!
This was the most striking feature of the Rising Sun Forest, and the only sounds around it were the rustle of five people walking across the meadow, the sound of branches and vines being removed, and the sound of their own breathing. It was too quiet to make the sound of his breathing seem so obvious, and this strange silence made the five of them involuntarily increase their breathing.
It's so quiet!
"Hey ......"
Suddenly, the other four people were frightened, and suddenly there was a burst of chickens and dogs. The five of them looked around vigilantly at each other as if they were facing a great enemy, but they found that it seemed to be an oolong made by their own people, so they had to give up.
"What are you doing!"
The first to speak out was Lu Yumian, she accused George of suddenly scaring the other four people, George was also quite wronged, he just felt too quiet and wanted to say a few words out loud.
"I just think it's too quiet......"
"You're like this, people are scared to death!"
As the two were talking, Robert suddenly interrupted.
"It's all quiet, but it's really not George's fault, the Rising Sun Forest is too quiet today."
"Prefect Robert, what do you say?" Lisserrot asked.
"There seems to be something wrong with the Rising Sun Forest today, we don't know exactly what's going on, but this strange tranquility is really not the state that the Rising Sun Forest will have. As a forest full of vitality, the Rising Sun Forest is full of magical beasts and all kinds of strange creatures, but I haven't seen one today, which is very abnormal. ”
After Robert finished speaking, he took out a map, and Lisserrot and the others came up to see that it seemed to be a map of the Rising Sun Forest around Aichengrad. According to the map, the area they are in is supposed to be a habitat called the Flying Feather Bird, a bird covered in long and beautiful feathers, which is not aggressive to living creatures and its diet is some fruit. It can be said that this is a very docile creature, and if you come to this forest, if you take out some fruits, you can attract a lot of these small creatures.
No, George didn't know where to take out an apple, he held the apple in his right hand like a victorious general, but there was still no response, and the surroundings were still as quiet as death.
"Oys, did you find anything?"
Robert put down the map, glanced at George, who was holding an apple in an attempt to attract a potential flying bird, and turned to Oyce, who was standing in front of a tree in the distance.
Oyss gently placed one hand on the tree, closed his eyes and stood there quietly, as if feeling something, and sometimes whispered, like a song slowly sung, but the language of this ballad was not the language of men, it was the language of elves. After a long time, Oyss withdrew his right hand and said in the expectant gaze of everyone.
"According to the dryads, the awakening of the dead has spread the fear of death, the erosion of uninvited guests has caused the forest to gradually decline, and the small creatures that used to live here have left, and they will not return until the darkness clears and the dead fall asleep again."
"The dead?"
Once again, Robert keenly grasped this key word, and Oyss had already said that the resurrection of the dead was a key point. It's just that the situation was urgent, and they had to set off as soon as possible, but now when they entered the Rising Sun Forest, they found that it was surprisingly silent, and it seemed that all the creatures living in the forest were gone.
"If that's right, it's the undead."
Oyss said this non-bland conclusion, and suddenly there was a gasp. The undead are a taboo for humans, they are beings who have reawakened after the death of life because of the breath of death.
The vast majority of the undead are not self-conscious, they only mechanically attack all living beings, and turning all living beings into one of them is the driving force for their actions. As for dealing with the undead, most of the magic doesn't even have a good effect, and the effects that can be played are nothing more than holy light, light magic, fire magic, and even thunder magic are not as effective as other creatures.
Tireless, undaunted, endless, hard to kill, resurrected, and all other words that are used in textbooks and word of mouth are these formidable words for the undead.
"If it's really the undead, then it's a big problem......"
Robert calmed down and looked up into the depths of the forest, the secret order showed that Teacher Thales was in the depths of the eastern part of the Rising Sun Forest, and they had to find Teacher Thales as soon as possible.
Upon learning of the possible existence of the undead, the silence that pervaded the forest was like the most eerie of death. Hopefully, all of this is just speculation, and that's what everyone thinks in their hearts.
