Chapter 30: The Lost Woods

When she heard a loud noise behind her reach Firena's ears, she knew she had embarked on a journey from which there was no return.

The forest at night was eerie, and the moon was obscured by the incoming black clouds, with only a faint dark halo shining from behind the thick clouds. The wind swayed high above the treetops, making a huge slow rustling sound, as if a sea of desert-like trees was moving overhead, setting off the quiet night. The chill of the night can be clearly felt in the wind, and a little bit of dew is suspended in the air, and only when it touches the skin, it will arouse a small goosebumps.

Days of intense daytime and nocturnal action had exhausted Firena. Perhaps because of the huge bounty of the Holy Light Church, a large number of mercenaries and adventure groups poured into the Endless Forest, and they hurried to the road with the head secretary these days and nights, while Firena was tired of avoiding the monsters and mercenaries during the day.

As for the Director-General's proposal to infiltrate the mercenary group and go out, Firena rejected it outright, after all, in such a deep forest, the appearance of a seven-year-old girl, no matter how you look at it, is not a normal thing, if she appears in front of the mercenaries, she will definitely be regarded as the object of suspicion, which is tantamount to throwing herself into the net.

What's more, in the mercenary group that is mostly male, there may be a few perverts who like young girls like themselves, although they are not worried about the protection of the general director, but in line with the principle of not causing more trouble, Firena gave up the proposal of the general director.

The only thing to be thankful for is that in the past few days, Firena has joined hands with Soji Okita to raid two mosquito-legged copies again. Although the output is pitiful, only four kill-level silver chess pieces and 10 magic prisms, as long as she touches the saint crystal in her hand, under the double stimulation of the dense light and warm texture, Firena can always feel the joy from her heart.

"Well, it's ...... ahead Lost Woods? ”

Nibbling on bread and using the faint glow of the night, while watching the system show her location, and comparing the detailed map of the Endless Forest in her hand, Firena found that it was the Lost Forest that stopped them in front of them.

As for where she got the bread and the map in her hand, Firena said that there were always small mercenary groups that did not bother into her place of rest during the day.

And in order to let his master sleep peacefully, the head secretary ruthlessly killed the mercenaries who broke in. When Firena woke up and saw the head secretary kneeling on the ground pleading guilty and telling the reason for the killing, what else could she do? Forgive her, of course! After all, it's your own servant! After ordering Shakespeare to loot the money from the dead mercenaries, Firena completely left the fault of the Director-General behind.

"Master, are we going to take a detour ahead? I'm worried about what's in front of me! ”

Gently placing Firena on a rock, the head secretary who jumped up to the tree stared solemnly ahead, it was a forest shrouded in thick fog, and with the heart eye skills he kept, Okita felt a hint of danger emanating from the front and couldn't help but say worriedly.

The Lost Forest is a very special place, although the dense fog inside has the ability to suppress perception, but as long as you don't encounter a beast that strays into it, then the Lost Forest can be said to be the safest place in the Endless Forest.

Of course, the Lost Forest can also be said to be the most dangerous place, relying on the dense fog that can suppress perception, and the special environment that can dissipate the magnetic field, whether it is a monster or a human, as long as there is no firmament-level strength, then it can only go around in it and finally starve to death in the forest. As for the probability of getting out of the lost forest, it can be said that it is about zero.

"The Lost Woods is indeed a troublesome existence! But if you want to get around it, with the current foot strength, it will take more than a month! ”

Looking at the long stretch of trees lying horizontally in front of her on the map, Firena hesitated. Walking through the Lost Forest means leaving the Endless Forest. For Firena, who was bent on getting out of this place as soon as possible, it took too long to choose a detour to leave, and the detour was bound to encounter more mercenaries, which was undoubtedly a nightmare for Firena, who was already tired of dodging in the face of a small group of mercenaries in the past few days.

"Master, if you are mentally prepared, all difficulties are not difficulties." As a deep male voice sounded, Shakespeare appeared beside her, and then said quite respectfully: "I think that it is not impossible to walk through the lost forest." ”

"Oh? Tell me what you think! ”

"Master, do you know what the greatest danger is in the Misty Forest?" Speaking of this, Shakespeare pushed his non-existent glasses as if he had become a detective, and continued: "Yes, it is the fog that makes people suppress people's perception, and the sense of direction that is completely lost. But the master you have a system, as long as you identify a place before entering, set a coordinate, and as long as you move towards that coordinate after entering, there is no risk of not being able to get out at all. As for the monsters that may be encountered inside......"

Coughing and speaking in a somewhat hoarse voice, Shakespeare took out a small jug of water out of nowhere, tasted it very elegantly, and from time to time tilted the corner of his eyes to the chief priest who was in the treetops.

Originally, Firena was still a little annoyed with Shakespeare's temper of not saying half of what he said, but after he looked at the chief director in the treetops from time to time, Firena instantly understood Shakespeare's thoughts and said:

"By the way, we can use the Mind and Eye Skills of the Directorate to avoid possible dangers."

Spreading out the map, the excited Firena buried herself in the map, repeatedly compared the error on the map with the system display, calculated the time it would take for her to cross the forest, and said to herself: "If you enter the woods, you can only move for 5 hours a day, and according to my current foot strength, it will only take about three days to break out of the Lost Forest at the earliest!" ”

Saying this, Firena's little hand slapped on the map fiercely, and excitedly said to the director-general on the tree: "Director-general, the idea that Shakespeare said is completely feasible!" ”

But after the excitement, Firena, who seemed to think of something, turned her expression from excitement to guilt, and said uneasily to the general director who appeared beside her at this time: "But this may be very tired, so the general director, I don't know if you can forgive me for being so selfish." ”

"Master, I said that I am the sword in your hand, as long as the master says to cut me, he will not hesitate to cut it, it's as simple as that. The servant itself is for the Master, so you don't have to blame yourself at all, Master. Protecting you is my greatest wish right now! ”

Kneeling in front of Firena, Soji Okita uttered a completely different wish than when he was summoned. Perhaps even she didn't know when her wishes had changed, and she didn't know when the figure of her master had settled in her heart.

Holding the cheeks of the cherry-haired girl with both hands, Firena's eyes saw the firmness in the eyes of the head office, and she smiled heartily, without too many words, and the smile she showed at this moment, even if it was moonlight, was too shy to hide in the clouds. Then Firena kissed Soji Okita lightly on the forehead and said, "Thank you, Soji!" You will always be my most trusted samurai! Thank you! ”

After a brief moment of astonishment at the kiss, the head secretary of the head office, who was indulging in the charming smile of his master, clasped the small hands on his cheeks with both hands, and after feeling the warmth transmitted by the palms of his cheeks, he said happily, "Yes, master! ”

There are no too many words, and there is no need for too many words, all the emotions are contained in the master shouted by the director-general. Even Shakespeare, who is usually an expert at destroying the atmosphere, just stood quietly aside, silently recording the perfect trust between their master and slave.

"Shakespeare, enchant!"

After feeling her legs gradually strengthen with Shakespeare's enchantment, Firena stood up, drew her short sword and said to Okita Soji beside her, "Soji, I'll leave it to you later!" ”

"Of course, Master, I'll take you out of the woods ahead unscathed."

Standing up and drawing his knife, the head office's movements were as swift as flowing water, and then the two looked at each other and smiled, without any extra words, and rushed straight into the woods.

After rushing into the smoky woods, the two of them gradually slowed down, and it was only after Firena found that her system was still functional, and it was only after she realized that her system was still functioning. Before, what she was most worried about was this cheat system, if she suddenly striked after entering the forest, it would be over, and now it seems that her worries are completely unnecessary.

However, Firena found that she still thought things too simply, as the two continued to walk into the depths of the forest, the surrounding fog became denser and denser, and the perception suppression brought by it became more and more serious, and the dense fog not only hindered their vision and perception, but also seriously affected the mobility of the two of them. Walking in the dense fog where you can't see your fingers is like walking in water, even if Firena is now comparable to silver, walking in this thick fog still feels the huge resistance brought by the air.

"Master, danger!"

At the moment when the head secretary shouted out the danger, before she could react, a bloody mouth appeared not far from Firena, and pounced on her at an extremely fast speed, and Firena could even smell the fishy stench from the demonic beast's mouth from a distance.

Seeing his master standing there stunned, the head secretary desperately threw Firena to the ground, and after dodging the monster's attack, he rolled over, and Haori instantly appeared on the head office's body, and then slashed the katana in his hand upwards for a half moon, and the tip of the knife pierced into the belly of the monster and brought out a wisp of blood, which drifted into the thick fog.

Seeing that he had not caught the prey, but had been injured by the prey, the monster roared unwillingly and hid in the thick fog, waiting for an opportunity to attack again.

Firena, who was frightened by the monster, instantly woke up, and after rejoicing that she had escaped with the help of the director-general, she instantly turned on the radar system, and then shouted to the director-general: "Director-general, the monster is about 5 meters away from you at eight o'clock!" Be careful, that monster is level 31! ”

"Level 31, I didn't expect to meet a gold-level Warcraft as soon as I came in. But whoever dares to hurt the master has to die! ”

A shrunk ground, the head secretary instantly moved to the side of the demonic beast, a flash of sword light, and the chrysanthemum text Zezong slashed towards the neck of the demonic beast.
