Chapter 62: The Giant Wood Forest
"Don't worry, Gaia, we're going to make it. Alan saw the timidity in Gaia's heart, which was nothing to blame, and the fear of the unknown was understandable. What's more, the little unicorns revealed that Gaia had just come of age.
But for Allen, one thing, either don't do it, or do it to do it to the best. And rescuing the unicorn is a matter that should be done with all our might.
The deeper I went, the more I felt the darkness of this giant wood forest. Suddenly, Alan stopped, stunned as if under a spell. He saw a pair of eyes, glowing green in the darkness, watching them.
The instinctive fear of the beast struck me at once. Alan clenched his wand and stared intently at the two glowing eyes.
"What's that?" Gaia spotted the eyes, her voice sounding sharp and harsh, and a little out of control.
Eren quietly covered the hand that was not holding the wand with the wonderful wizard's robe, and reached out, touching something soft. Immediately, the eyes that glowed green flashed to the side, and then a white object ran past Allen.
Alan turned his head sharply and saw a strange ape-like creature running through a grove behind Allen, with its head hunched in a strange manner. In a panic, it crashed into a giant tree, staggered a few steps to the side, and in an instant hid in the dark shadows of another forest.
Hearing the movement, Gasilis in front of him immediately turned his head and asked what had happened, and Alan described the experience in detail. Gasilis ordered the warriors to be on guard and gather together to prevent accidents.
It was undoubtedly a wise decision, and soon, pairs of dark green eyes flickered in the dense jungle, like floating ghost fires.
"Fluorescent flicker!" Allen's enhanced light spell was powerful, and those dark green eyes retreated one after another, making a piercing squeak.
At this time, everyone finally saw the appearance of these monsters. They resemble apes, dead gray in color, with large, strange dark green eyes, and light yellow hair on their heads, which extends to their backs.
However, they were running so fast that Alan couldn't even tell if they were running on all fours or if they were just hanging too low on their forelimbs.
The strange apes—let's call them the strange apes—agitated for a moment, and then gathered again. It seemed that they were angered by Allen's sudden hand. Some burly apes lunged at the unicorns with their teeth and claws, so fast that they could barely catch their shadows. Caught off guard, some unicorns were caught in deep blood and jumped lightly.
A battle between a monster ape and a unicorn ensues. Alan was protected by the unicorns in the middle, and he wanted to rush out to fight several times, but was stopped by Gacylis, who had a good reason, "Alan, your presence is crucial. You're the only one who has healing magic, and the safety of the team depends on you!Besides, if the unicorn warriors can't defeat these strange apes, what can you do as a student?"
Although his strength was underestimated by Geheilis, Eren still did his best to heal the injured unicorn, and his magic was very precise, and he was able to cast it on the unicorn in need of healing in time every time, which surprised Gaysilis.
Monster apes rely on their speed and sharp claws, while unicorns have no less agility than monster apes, sharp antennae, and powerful hooves. The two sides fought in full swing, but because Allen's healing magic was timely and effective, in the end, the balance of victory still tipped in favor of the unicorn. And after Gacylis found the ape queen, he struggled and put the last straw on the defeat of the strange apes.
The strange apes come fast and retreat faster. The Giant Wood Forest was calm again, and only the broken branches and leaves, the trampled meadows, the injured unicorns still being treated, and the warriors who were recovering their breath witnessed the fierce battle that had just begun.
After resting for a while in such darkness, the whole team set out again. There is still no light in sight, and in this huge forest labyrinth, you can only move forward, even if you want to find a way forward, you can't find it.
I don't know how long later, a rustling sound sounded in the forest, like the sound of the wind blowing leaves, and like the sound of silkworms chewing mulberry leaves.
Eren cast a fluorescent flicker again, and looked in the direction from which the sound came from through the light, and instantly his hairs stood on end. It was terrifying, and the dense crowd of tiny, black spiders quickly climbed down from the trunks of the trees and surrounded them.
In a few moments, a large, black, furry spider several times the size of them slowly crawled into the middle of the little spiders, and its big bright eyes stared at Allen with a shudder. It is literally a humanoid spider, with four forelimbs raised and four hind limbs to maintain its stability. Each of its limbs was covered with dense barbs, glowing black under the light of Allen's light spell.
"These sneaky, disgusting things!" Gaia seemed uncomfortable with such a scene, and couldn't help but complain.
This soft whining sounded the horn of battle, and the spiders swarmed up. It is difficult for unicorns to completely get rid of such small things, and once the spider is on their body, it will quickly bite through the skin, burrow into their body, and suck blood and eat meat.
What's worse is that three unicorns accidentally got caught in spiders, and in a panic, they stumbled and fell, and in an instant, dense spiders covered their bodies with layer after layer, and they were dragged away by spiders like this!
"Clara, Northmore, Casillis!" Gaia let out a heart-rending cry, "Alan, think of a way, please, save them!" As if grasping at a life-saving straw, Gaia pleaded with Alan.
But what can Eren do? The wonderful wizard robe on his body can only ensure that he is not harmed, and it cannot protect everyone!
Alan forced himself to calm down, there must be a way. Spiders may be afraid of fire, but to prevent fire in such a dense forest is tantamount to setting fire to yourself.
So, what else would they be afraid of besides fire?
