Chapter 223: Druid
This should be the old man in the forest that Siggins is talking about.
Ma Long led people and slowly moved forward with the other party.
The forest is silent and dark, and the view is blurred, and even in the daytime, the sun cannot penetrate it.
As the crowd gradually entered, the path became more and more wide, and it was not so difficult to walk.
At least there are fewer branches sticking out of the way.
On the contrary, there are many more animals in the trees along the road, and they are more dangerous.
Some seemingly harmless small animals are able to prey on sharp claws with sharp claws, and even contain highly poisonous bodies.
If you pay a little attention, you can always see hidden snakes, rats, insects and ants.
Miraculously, they didn't come to provoke Marlon and his party, but just stared at them passing by, as if they were in two worlds.
Everyone speculated that this was the reason why they followed the old man in front.
To be able to live in the Black Forest, of course, there are some means.
The old man in the forest did not communicate with Ma Long and his party, he asked how to call him several times, but the other party ignored it and just buried his head in the road.
Step by step, the stick in his hand also swings with his arm and pestles on the ground.
The insects and poisonous snakes that were hiding among the grass insects on the road crawled out one after another to get out of the way.
After Ma Long and his party passed, they hid back again!
"That's amazing!" Seeing the scene in front of them, everyone couldn't help but be amazed and surprised, they never thought that someone would have such a means!
If there is no guidance from the old man on this road, Ma Long and the others will be difficult to pass, and they really specialize in art.
The old man does not move fast, has a unique rhythm, and is not in a hurry.
Ma Long had to lead people to follow slowly.
I walked section after section, but there was no road ahead.
In the Black Forest, there is no shortage of large trees, and sometimes large trees grow in dense clusters and squeeze against each other to form tree walls.
What appeared in front of Ma Long's eyes was such an existence.
Trees huddle close together, snatching nutrients, not letting a single step, and even squeezing themselves out of shape.
Squeeze one by one, and it becomes a tree wall, which is impermeable to light.
When I got closer, I realized that it wasn't that there was no road, but that it was blocked by a tree wall and stretched along the wall to both sides.
"It's spectacular!" Sarah sighed as she looked up overhead.
"You can't see that from the outside world!" There are old people leading the way, all kinds of dangers retreat, everyone can also relax a little, enjoy this rare and spectacular scene.
The old man did not take one with him on either of the two paths.
He turned around and glanced at everyone, and said to Ma Long: "Keep up!" ”
The voice is still hoarse, emotionless, and unusually unpleasant.
"Good!" Ma Long didn't say much, nodded in agreement, and gestured to everyone behind him at the same time.
The knights were silent for a moment, reining in their spirits and embracing the changes that might arise below......
I only heard what the old man was whispering in his mouth, it was a little noisy, and the frequency was so fast that even with Ma Long's ear, he couldn't hear it clearly.
Then I saw him keep banging on the tree wall in front of him with his stick.
As he beat the trees one by one, an amazing scene unfolded in front of everyone's eyes!
The huge trunks of the trees, which had been huddled together without any gaps, began to tremble slightly, and then forcefully parted to the sides.
Facing the crowd, open a road that is large enough for people to pass.
"This ......"
Many people were so shocked that they swallowed their spit, and this kind of power is indeed amazing.
Blackstone Collar also has wizards who can control plants, but compared to this old man, it is simply the difference between a baby and a giant!
These are ancient trees that have grown for thousands of years, and they can be controlled like this!
Looking at the scene in front of him, Malone couldn't help but think of the profession of "druid" that he knew in his previous life, although in this world, he didn't seem to have heard of their existence......
The old man walked straight into the passage he had opened, and Marlon didn't think much about it, glanced at Illya, and walked into it first.
Behind him, everyone rushed in and followed closely.
The shape of the passage is like an arch, and when you enter it, you can see the bark of trees, and everything seems to grow naturally, and there is no trace of man-made transverseness.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you would probably think it was a masterpiece of nature.
The passage was longer than everyone expected, and even if there was no obstacle inside, the group still walked for a long time.
The tree wall was much thicker than expected.
Ahead, the light finally shines!
Seems to be the sun?
As Marlon passed through the hole, he walked out of the passage and looked up.
It was the first time he had seen the sun when he had entered the forest.
Compared to other places, the trees here are much more sparse and you can see the sky.
Glancing around, it was a large open space, sparsely wooded, and a simple wooden house was located in the center.
When I looked back, I saw the wall of trees they had come from, stretching all the way to the end of the line of sight.
As everyone came out of the passage, the old man drove the trees back into place with the sticks in his hands.
The passage disappeared before everyone's eyes, and there was no trace of it.
If it hadn't just passed through it, it would almost have been an illusion.
A knight curiously stretched out his hand and touched and patted, as if trying to prove that this was a trick, but the result was not as he thought.
It's true!
"You wait here for a while." The old man spoke, and without waiting for Malone to respond, he went straight to the hut.
When the door is opened and entered, it is no longer closed, so that everyone can see inside.
Very basic facilities, it seems to be just a bed, and then there are some piles of clutter, nothing else!
Marlon instructed the knights to rest in place and eat some dry food by the way.
After the old man entered the house, he squatted in a corner and rummaged for something, but did not come out for a long time.
"Boom......"
In the hut, a green snake swam and dragged it, raised its head, and looked at Ma Long and his party from a distance, as if curious.
"Look?" Sarah pointed to the head of the snake with its head on the threshold and said to the crowd, "Do you look like you are wise?" ”
Ma Long looked up, the snake was not big, it was just over a meter, and the light in his eyes was indeed different from that of ordinary snakes.
Along the way, they can say that the animals they see the most are all kinds of poisonous snakes, so as to understand them.
For the eyes of snakes, it is even clearer that it is a kind of infiltrating cruelty.
This green snake is different, there is an abnormal agility in his eyes, like an underage child, looking at the world with curiosity.
A group of people were discussing the green snake, and the old man seemed to have found what he was looking for, took it in his hand, and walked out.
As he crossed the threshold, the green snake slowly retracted his head and stopped looking at everyone.
"You take this, follow the pointer, and if you have the chance, you can enter the half-elf village."
The old man walked up to Malone and handed him something that looked like a compass, with a pointer in the middle, pointing in the direction behind the wooden house.
"Thank you!"
Ma Long put his right hand on his chest, thank you sincerely!
"Go ahead!" The old man waved his hand, and without waiting for Marlon to ask more, he let him leave.
"Farewell!"
Seeing that the old man was indeed withdrawn and didn't like to be disturbed, Malone didn't say much.
He handed Kane the compass in his hand and waved his hand to beckon everyone to follow.
One by one, the group bypassed the hut and continued to march into the depths.
