The last rays of the setting sun vanished over the horizon, but the Wailing Forest was not shrouded in darkness.

The long-lost sunny weather made the clouds in the night sky disperse, and the bright starry sky appeared in the sky above the woodland, and the moonlight spread a silver veil for the earth, and several times it was night, and you could still clearly see the unknown flower spikes swaying with the night wind a few meters away.

"I heard that looking up at the starry sky on a clear night, I had the opportunity to see the throne of a certain god shining in the starry sky, and my neck was almost painful, why can't I see anything?"

Stephanie held the telescope out of Donald's spatial ring in her hand, looked at the starry sky with her head held high, and said as she looked.

"Since it's a divine seat, how can it be so easy to see, I advise you not to bother, if you are so high-necked, you will have to camp and sleep in the wilderness later, I estimate that it is not small that you will fall into the pillow tomorrow morning." ”

Compared to Stephanie, who has been looking up at the stars, Anthony spends most of her time observing her surroundings and looking for a suitable campsite.

"According to Claremont, there was a stump of a tree nearly 5 meters wide outside the cave, and there were many strange statues scattered nearby, and I thought that such a strange place was always easy to find, but now it seems that I thought it was too simple. ”

Donald looked at the sea of forests in front of him, and it was not easy to find the cave that Claremont said contained the ancient books of the demigods in such a vast forest.

However, this thing cannot be left undone, after all, it is just a matter of not knowing, and now that he knows that there is a treasure hidden in that cave, Donald naturally cannot wait for himself to return from the Temple of Justice before continuing.

Thinking about how to find the cave as soon as possible, the group kept approaching the Weeping Forest.

"Let's rest around here for now, there's no need to venture out into the jungle at night. ”

Closer to home, Donald was not prepared to be active in the Howling Forest late at night, so he just stopped outside the Howling Forest, you must know that there are many strange things in this forest, although there are no clouds to cover it, the forest is still bright, but it is still much worse than the daytime, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents.

Next to the forest, there was no shortage of firewood, and it took Anthony less than three minutes to drag a tree more than two meters long, and one person came back with a thick trunk, cut it into dozens of small pieces with a short knife, and easily made a small bonfire.

"Take these sleeping bags and mats for yourselves, and I'm going to set up an early warning barrier nearby. ”

With the spell book in his hand, Donald actually had several ways to arrange the vigilance circle in his mind, just to ensure that nothing went wrong, so he was ready to arrange several more.

These sleeping bags are the best ones I bought from Delchimo, and they're not only insulated, but they're also thick enough to pump some air into them and turn them into an air bed, which may take a while to get organized, but it's definitely comfortable.

Of course, just relative comfort.

"Donald, remember to call me later when it's my turn to keep vigil. ”

Stefanie was cowered in her sleeping bag, half of her face reflected in the firelight, and with a sly smile on her face, Donald could tell that she was just trying to show that she cared about the team.

"You and Julia don't have to keep vigil, it's enough for the three of us, let's sleep." ”

Stephanie's natural abilities doomed her to be more than a scout, neither Anthony's night vision, nor Donald's powerful mental power to detect his surroundings all the time, nor Lilo's sense of inspiration.

Instead of forcing her to keep vigil, it is better to keep her spirits up and deal with other situations.

So in the end, it was Donald, Anthony and Lilo sitting around the campfire, Lilo pinching a branch to stir up the flames, and Donald chatting with Anthony to pass the time.

"On the train just now, I thought a lot about Renas, and if I really want to talk about it, Victor..... If we could control Sewvett Talos, wouldn't it be a different story?"

He handed Donald one of the breads in his hand, opened a tin can in the package, which contained white cheese, and wanted to keep vigil without being sleepy, so he naturally had something in his mouth.

"It's not that easy, Victor has mastered this technology, while I am guarding against him, he must also be guarding against me, I have told me a lot of knowledge about corpse technology before, and the operation method that involves the key core has not said a word, from this it can actually be seen that he is also wary of us, and it is difficult to get a way to control the corpse from him!"

Donald said as he spoke, and his other hand was not idle, giving a glass of lime juice from the space ring to Lilo beside him, and then took out two more cups, each filled with some less sour juice, and used a spell to condense two pieces of pure crushed ice into two pieces of pure crushed ice out of thin air and put them in, and then said,

"Besides, I don't think this corpse technology is very reliable to be honest, not that I doubt the effect it can achieve, but we only know a little bit about this technology, how to operate it, and how to control Sewit Talos for a long time...... We don't know about these kinds of problems, which means that even if we have the tools to control Sewit Talos, we still have to be subject to Victor and can't do anything once and for all. ”

The so-called once and for all in Donald's mouth, Anthony naturally understood what it meant, and he clearly knew that Donald was never a person who liked to let others pinch his handle.

There's no way, I've suffered a big loss in the hands of others because of the handle, and now if I'm not careful, it's really stupid.

"Is there an alternative?"

"I'm afraid not, the creator of this technology is him, and this kind of corpse technology to control living people has been perfected by him, even if someone can understand those materials, we have no way to know each other. ”

This was the crux of Donald's refusal to work with Victor.

To put it simply, if Victor has the intention of killing them, then after controlling Sewit Taros, he can do it without scruples, but on the contrary, Donald can't do anything to Victor, because killing him may cause Sewvett Taros to lose control, and then the matter will definitely be revealed, and they will naturally face the anger of the Talos family.

"So, it seems like the only way to abandon Victor's tempting proposal?"

Holding his drink and reaching out to touch Donald, who turned around and took the initiative to touch the lemonade in Lilo's hand, and Anthony handed his cup to Lilo in the same way.

Lilo held the lime juice in her hand, wondering why the two of them had come to bump into their own drinks.

"To be honest, I have a special way in my hands that will allow us to control the situation without being constrained by Victor. ”

After taking a big sip of juice, Donald seemed to suddenly think of something, took out a milky white sphere from the spatial ring, the fruit of the Shapeling Slime, shook it in front of Anthony and put it back, and then said,

"It's a bit costly, and I don't want to think about it yet. ”

"Hmm...... Let's not talk about it, I heard you say that the reason why the Howling Forest is famous is that there is an inexplicable cry here at night, why didn't I hear it tonight. ”

Anthony heard Donald accidentally mention the matter of the Shapeshift Fruits during his travels, and knew that those fruits were reserved for Donald to deal with some special situations, so he no longer delved into this matter, but took the initiative to change the topic.

"I don't think it's without the possibility of being false, you know, people are more willing to believe what they want to believe than what they want to believe. ”

Leaning his elbows against the unopened roll of his sleeping bag next to him, weighing on his body, Donald was always too concerned about such rumors that had not been actually recorded.

Perhaps to refute Donald's disdain, his voice fell, and a cold wind suddenly blew in the forest in front of him.

Woo ~ woo ~ woo ah ~ ~

At first, it sounded like the whirring of the wind through the woodland, but with the help of this rushing energy, Donald casually condensed a wind shield to block out all the other cold winds, but the sound of the wind changed its tone in a short time, and the change seemed to be the uncontrollable cry of human beings in extreme grief......

The woods in the shadows in front of them looked involuntarily more eerie at this moment, and Stephanie and Julia quickly got up from their sleeping bags, they were not actually asleep, on the one hand, Donald and Anthony had been chatting, and on the other hand, because it was the wilderness, it was not easy to fall asleep.

"Donald, what now?"

Stephanie asked as she shrank up to Donald's side, a little alarmed.

The cry of the forest grew louder and louder, and even gradually developed a momentum that hit like a wave, and even Donald was a little surprised now.

"Anthony, Lilo, did you find anything?"

There were no abnormal changes in his mental perception, and there were no suspicious creatures in the woodland in front of him in his spiritual vision, so Donald could only turn his head and ask the other two.

"Nothing has been found, and there is no result of your perception?"

At a time of year like this, when the woodland is desolate, and as far as the eye can see, Anthony finds nothing.

The same goes for Lilo, whose biokinesis ensures that there are no strange creatures within at least two hundred meters of Donald and his party.

"Is it really just a natural phenomenon?"

Donald wasn't dismayed by the fact that he hadn't found anything, after all, so many Xenos hadn't come up with a reason in the Howling Forest before them.

"I've set up a soundproof barrier, and I don't think I'll find anything out there, and I'll find a way to investigate tomorrow when I go into the Weeping Forest. ”

In the depths of his heart, Donald had a vague premonition that this strange situation in the Howling Forest might have something to do with the demigods.

If he's right, the demigods in the ancient books have mentioned that the power of their realm is about plants, and he once controlled this forest!
