Chapter 195: The Village and the Fog
A carriage was moving slowly along the road in the forest, and the carriage bug pulling the cart looked mentally depressed.
Green poked his head out of the carriage window and looked around.
The roads are rough and densely forested, and it doesn't look like a village at all.
"Anthony, you're not on the wrong path, are you?" Green said to the militia who were driving the car, "This place is getting more and more remote! And there isn't even a road, which is also too strange. ”
"Don't worry, Captain Green, I used to be from White Bear Village, and I can't take this road wrong with my eyes closed." The militiaman who was driving the car said with a smile, "But you said that there is no road, but you are wrong." Although the road is covered with grass, it is clearly different from the surrounding bushes. ”
Green looked under the carriage and looked around again.
"Hmm...... All right. Although I knew that White Bear Village was very remote before, I didn't expect it to be so remote. ”
White Bear Village is about a hundred miles away from the port of Ancona, located in a mountain col, the location is very remote, you need to cross a large mountain to reach, even ordinary caravans do not want to pass through here, only because there is a monster lair there so that a village is established there. And the name "White Bear Village" also comes from the nest of the moon white bear sealed in the village.
Monster lairs don't just show up in places that are suitable for human life. In fact, the location of most monster nests is very remote, and White Bear Village is a typical example of this.
With Grimm's pained expression, the carriage slowly moved through the forest. Perhaps because of the humidity of the air, some fog slowly appeared around......
In the middle of the carriage, Chikage suddenly raised her head and looked out the window.
Seeing Qianying's expression, Green was stunned for a moment: "Qianying, is there something wrong?" ”
"Master, something seems wrong."
Green looked out the window.
No danger was found outside the carriage, but ......
"Anthony, is it foggy often in White Bear Village?" Green looked up at the sky, alert at the growing fog around him.
"Yes." The militia driving did not notice anything wrong, "We are now in the col, and sometimes it is foggy. However, there is usually a lot of fog in the morning and evening, and it is relatively rare to get foggy at this time, so it seems that it may rain tonight. ”
"That's right......" Green frowned slightly, turning his head to look at Thousand Shadows, "Thousand Shadows, did you find anything?" ”
"It feels like the color of the air is a little wrong." Thousand Shadows hesitated for a moment, "The amount of magic in the air is much higher than outside. ”
Green took a deep breath: "It feels refreshed. Not...... It does seem to be a bit high. I wonder how the concentration of magic here compares to there? Green pointed in the direction of Miracle Canyon and asked Thousand Shadows.
"Concentrations close to the range of energy nodes."
Green's eyes froze: "This is the rhythm of going to happen." ”
The concentration around the energy node is extremely high, and all the mushrooms planted can mutate. The early mutation was not serious, at least it was still food, but being in a high magic environment for a long time would make the mutation more and more deep, such as the Chaos Mushroom that Green planted before has now mutated to the point that it will run away on its own!
However, although the demonized plant is full of aggression, it can provide a lot of chaos magic power to Green after eating, so for Green, this mutation is not a bad thing, but it is not necessarily for Mona. Green estimates that in a few years, there may be a mushroom monster that can talk and eat a Mona in one bite.
Now that the north has become like that, and the concentration of magic here is about the same as that of the north, it is not difficult for Green to imagine what this place will become. Even if the vines on the side of the road suddenly attacked, Green would not be surprised at all.
"Hmm...... Don't know what food will be there? Green looked around.
As a Demon King, Green discovers that demonized plants are quite delicious, and the magic content is six times that of ordinary food! So Green was somewhat expectant about what food would come out of the area.
Unfortunately, to Green's disappointment, nothing appeared along the way, and the whole road was as quiet as if there were no living creatures.
Well?
Without any creatures?
Green looked outside, his eyes flickering.
"Stop!"
The militiaman driving the carriage hurriedly pulled the reins and stopped the carriage.
"Captain Green, what's the matter?" The militia was puzzled.
"Something is wrong, go back the way you came!" Green commanded the militia.
Hearing Green's words, the militia couldn't help frowning: "Captain Green, but our mission hasn't been completed yet." ”
"Listen to me. It feels like something is wrong. ”
"But now it's getting dark, and it's dangerous to walk at night in the forest."
"Hmm......" Green frowned slightly.
"We're not far from the village, and we'll be there soon." The militia advised, "Whatever happens, let's wait until we get to the village." ”
"All right......," Green sighed, "but be careful. ”
"Hmm." The militiaman's expression also became serious. It would be a lie to say that he wasn't afraid, but at the thought of his hometown ahead of him, Anthony forced himself to calm down.
The carriage moved slowly. Nothing happened along the way.
Just as it was about to get dark, a small, lighted village appeared in front of everyone.
"Captain Green, see the village." The militiamen who drove the car breathed a sigh of relief.
Green poked his head out of the window and looked at the village after nightfall. Due to the dense fog around him, he couldn't really see it, but the light coming from behind the thick fog pointed out the direction and location of Green and his party to a certain extent.
The carriage was getting closer and closer, and when it reached the entrance of the village, Green finally saw the situation in the village.
It's weird, because the village is so normal. The houses with their lights, the bonfires at the entrance of the village, and the militia stationed at the entrance of the village, everything is normal.
A militiaman with a spear stood in front of the carriage.
"Anthony? Aren't you on an errand in the city? How did you get back? "The militiaman with the spear seemed to know Anthony who was driving the car.
"Boleyn, what's going on in the village?" Anthony jumped straight out of the carriage and nervously greeted him, "The village has not been in contact with the outside world, but it freaks me out. It's really nice to see that you're all right. ”
Hearing Anthony's words, the militiaman known as Bolin was silent for a while, and with a wry smile on his face: "Anthony, you shouldn't have come back. ”
Anthony frowned slightly: "Is something happening in the village?" ”
"Nothing happened in the village, it's just ......," the militiaman pointed to the white fog that was getting thicker and thicker around him, "because of this white fog, no one can get out." ”
