Chapter 33: The Forest of Riots
In this misty forest, although eerily quiet, occasionally the wind blows through the treetops and shakes, making a huge slow rustling sound, as if the desert-like sea of trees is moving overhead, setting off the quiet forest.
One of the adventurers, Gidchi, who seemed to feel a little tired from the collapse of his nerves, stuck his sword into the ground, yawned, and leaned lightly against an old tree.
"Gidch! Don't let your guard down! ”
Teniedi saw that Gidge had let his guard down, leaned against the tree, and whispered a reprimand.
"It's okay, Teniedi, if you keep being nervous like this, you won't be able to cope better with unexpected situations. Anyway, if there is a sound, let's be on guard! ”
Gidage stretched, looking a little sleepy.
Hearing Gidch say this, the tense nerves of many people relaxed slightly, and several people found a place and sat comfortably on the ground.
"Stand up for me!"
Tenedi's face became gloomy, and even his voice became a little louder.
"We're here to protect Mr. Freac, not to relax! You idiots! ”
Teniedi scolded mercilessly, and the adventurers' faces were not very good-looking, and even blushed slightly.
They stood up slowly, but either leaning against the tree, or hooking their shoulders and muttering quietly, without the slightest warning of the newcomer.
"You guys ......"
Tenedi's fist crunched, and the sword in his right hand shook slightly with anger.
"Alright, Tenedi, they have a point! It's so quiet now, it shouldn't matter! Don't be too nervous, don't be too relaxed, and don't forget, this is the Misty Forest. ”
Freak turned his face and smiled, ostensibly to make everyone relax a little, but in fact it was to remind everyone that the Misty Forest should not be sloppy.
Since it was the client's words, several adventurers also heard this euphemistic words, and once again became vigilant, looking around cautiously.
Teniedi saw that several people were finally a little energetic, and decided to fan the flames again.
"Little Lucy, do you remember any terrifying monsters in the Misty Forest? Or what horrific story has ever happened?"
Little Lucy is Freyak's granddaughter and has always been his sweetheart. Freak knew that the forest was dangerous, but he thought that to love her was to let her see the world, experience hardships and dangers, and let her know that it was not easy to make money.
Despite the dangers he encountered, Freac always ensured the safety of little Lucy first, and now that little Lucy was fifteen years old, Freak was already planning to let her come here for the last time.
Little Lucy heard Teniedy's question, and slowly put down the herbs in her hand, her eyes showing a sense of horror, as if she recalled some terrible scene.
"Tenedi !!" Freak stopped collecting the medicine and glared at Tenedi angrily when he saw little Lucy's reaction.
Tenedi saw that Freyak was angry and hurriedly coaxed little Lucy.
"Misty Forest, as the name suggests! A strange forest wrapped in mist, and in this forest, there are several terrifying magical beasts. ”
Chen Bai suddenly walked in front of everyone and said with a smile, but now he didn't have a pet in his hand, and he didn't follow him, there was only an elf around him who was a little scared and observed. No matter how everyone looked at it, they all felt that the young man in front of them at this moment was also very wrong.
"The first thing that lives in the Misty Forest is the common Misty Ghost."
"What misty ghost? How can there be ghosts in this world?"
A young adventurer wonders if it is out of fear, and retorts loudly to hide his psychological fear.
Chen Bai supported his chin with one hand, as if he was a memory.
"The Misty Ghost is not a ghost, that's the nickname given to it by humans, it's a creature that doesn't attack people in general. It is not tall, only about three feet, and its body is generally green, but it can change color with its surroundings, so it is said to be ghostly. And these mist ghosts usually continue to spew out some special gases to form smoke, which are generally used to escape, and it is said that they will also emit a large amount of mist whether they are happy or unhappy, so there is this misty forest! So sometimes, the Misty Forest can be particularly foggy! ”
"That's amazing!!"
A girl who followed Freyak to collect medicine praised.
"Although these misty ghosts are not aggressive, there are several kinds of magical beasts that also like to be in the misty forest, which is very dangerous."
"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, all in all, everyone just cheer up!"
Freyak interrupted Tatsuhaku's words, obviously he didn't want to mention those demonic beasts, hoping he wouldn't encounter them, he prayed in his heart.
The adventurer took the initiative to help Freak pick herbs, but because of the fog, Freak asked not to be too far away, otherwise it would not be safe.
After picking for two or three hours, Chen Bai saw that their backpacks were almost full, and they had picked more than a dozen Lingtong grasses, which made Freyak smile. There were even five Ecstasy Grasses, special plants that are only available in the mist.
Of course, these are the credits of Tatsuhaku, but he wants to make up for it quietly, because his plan is about to begin.
"Roar!! Suddenly, out of nowhere, an earth-shattering beast roar sounded, and the sound reverberated throughout the forest!!
"Ho !!" Before the sound fell, there was another terrifying beast roar that resounded through the sky!! Like the roar of another giant beast.
The forest becomes noisy and noisy.
(What's going on!) My plan hasn't started yet! )
The sudden restlessness made Chen Bai stunned.
"Whoa-la-la-" It seems that many birds are frightened and soar into the sky, accompanied by a few screams.
"Boom ——!!" With a loud bang, a terrifying wind whistled in the depths of the fog and whistled towards everyone, and countless branches creaked and broke, and the dust and sand on the ground blew up so that everyone couldn't even open their eyes, and could only protect them with their hands in front of them!
"Not good! It's two extremely terrifying monsters biting each other! ”
Tenedi said with a pale face and fear.
Several of the many mercenaries couldn't care about anything else, so they ran away. All of a sudden, more than a dozen mercenaries ran away, and the remaining mercenaries did not dare to run, although their legs and feet were trembling, they knew that the consequences of escaping were serious.
"Boom! Pemba! "The loud noise in the depths of the fog was even louder, and from a distance, you could hear the sound of countless trees shattering and falling to the ground in an instant! And the power is so powerful that the earth is trembling!!
"Xuan Ming, it's almost done!"
Xiao Hei, the huge black leopard in the transformation city, whispered.
"Is that okay?"
Xuan Ming has also turned into a huge monster at this moment.
Blackie looked at the large forest that had been destroyed by them and nodded.
Chen Bai was also stunned, these two powerful breaths were clearly Xiao Hei and Xuan Ming! But they don't seem to want to fight! It's even more widespread destruction!
"Did they just say they were going to leave for a while because they were mad at me?!"
Tatsubai muttered to himself.
For some reason, Mi Guoguo was also afraid and hid behind Chenbai.
Freak's face became solemn, perhaps because he had seen the world and was not as panicked as those mercenaries.
And little Lucy also hid behind him with a worried face.
"Now that it's almost time to collect the medicine, let's retreat quickly!"
Freak turned to the crowd and said.
"Teniedi, you cushion back!"
"This ......"
Although it was the client's order, Tenedi still hesitated.
"My Highness!" Chen Bai stepped forward, but he had already put away his smile, revealing a resolute attitude that he would give up.
"Well done! Youngster! ”
With that, Freak took the lead and ran back.
Everyone had just run for a while before they felt out of breath, and little Lucy also said that she couldn't run, but Freak herself was also very tired, and glanced at the mercenaries, and no one planned to carry her.
"Like, there's no sound anymore!"
"Huh? It seems that there is no more! ”
"Is it already over?"
A few mercenaries were talking.
"Let's take a break, everyone!" Freak considered that everyone was tired, and if he continued to run, he would not be able to cope with the situation once he encountered it.
Freak turned his head to look behind him, and there was a fog where he couldn't see anything.
"Rest, young man!"
"Good!"
Hearing Chenbai's response, he let down his vigilance.
"Master, what was that sound just now?"
Mi Guoguo was still worried at the moment, and that pitiful appearance made Chen Bai couldn't help but pinch his little face.
"Oops!" Mi Guoguo let out a coquettish cry and looked at Chen Bai angrily.
"That's Xiao Hei and Xuan Ming! It's just me ......! ”
Chen Bai stopped speaking, thinking to himself how he could say that he didn't know, even if he didn't know what was going on between Xiao Hei and Xuan Ming, he had to pretend to understand.
"It's coming!"
"What's coming!?" When Mi Guoguo heard Chen Bai say this, she was scared and curious.
The forest, which had been quiet, became restless again.
With his ears pricked up, Freyak, alerted to changes in the air, looked around with a serious expression.
"Looks like something is coming!"
"It can't be a monster, right!?"
The mercenaries clenched their weapons and looked around.
"Mr. Freac, how did you notice that?"
Teniedi was very curious, knowing that he was stronger, but he only noticed it now.
"It's not just luck that I've been able to come back alive from the Misty Forest again and again."
Freyak said confidently.
"It seems that there are a lot of demonic beasts coming, we must retreat immediately!"
Tenedi shouted at the crowd.
A few men ran again, and Freak looked back uneasily, feeling that he had been killed by now, but he continued to run without hesitation.
Knowing that everyone was already far away, Chen Bai's worried mood relaxed slightly, stretched his waist, and opened his palms slightly.
"Bang~"
A huge gust of wind whistled in all directions centered on Tatsubai, and the fog was blown away at once, but only temporarily.
"It's so convenient~"
"The hosts! We're back! ”
At this time, Xiao Hei and Xuan Ming had become smaller, and jumped into Chen Bai's arms again.
(What the hell should I ask?) …… )
Chen Bai thought about it, but said it
"You're doing a great job!"
"The master's business is our business!"
Xiao Hei said with an affirmative face.
"The master has always wanted to drive out the monster! We just wanted to surprise the hosts! ”
(Huh?) How do they know? )
"How did you notice that?"
"That's the time."
"Huh? Yes! … Yes! Originally... Was that time? ”
Tatsubai pretended to be like this.
(Huh?) What time was that time! I never said it...... )
"I think with the ingenuity of the master, I will know that we are a surprise at once!"
Xuan Ming had a smile on his face.
"That's... Of course!! I already knew! ”
(Ahh......h )
Tatsuhaku tried to make his face normal.
The heart is already turbulent!
"Worthy of the host!! It's just a pity that we were stupid and couldn't know everything the host thought. ”
Xiao Hei said dejectedly.
"You've done a great job!"
Chen Bai said seriously, and at the same time touched them in his arms.
[The reason why Xiao Hei and Xuanming's winds can't blow away the fog is because they also blow the fog at the same time. It's like the water flowing up and down again. 】
"Roar~~"
"Hiss~"
……
The fog dissipated, and a group of demonic beasts saw Chen Bai at a glance, grinning fiercely, as if they wanted to vent their emotions with him.
But maybe it's because of the ferocity of the beast, and there are so many of them, Chen Bai has never seen it at home before, and he actually feels scared, and his hands and feet are trembling.
(……… Cold... Calm down...... )
Chen Bai wanted to calm himself down, but when he saw these beasts, it was still difficult to control the monsters with their teeth and claws, and he felt that he would definitely be discovered.
"Master!?" Xuan Ming was slightly stunned when he saw Chen Bai's reaction.
"The hosts are excited! He's very happy now! That's why I keep shaking! Because he's so happy! Could it be that you are doubting that the master is afraid?"
Xiao Hei's eyes were full of adoration.
"Hmm! The host is amazing! The average person sees so many beasts......"
Xuan Ming suddenly wanted to hear the sound of his teeth chattering, and when he looked up, he saw a strong smile on his face.
For a moment the air was suddenly silent......
Chen Bai also suddenly felt that the big thing was not good, and his great image of wisdom and martial arts was about to be ruined!
"Smack!" Xuan Ming actually slapped Xiao Hei on the body! Loud roar:
"I'll just say that I should drive more demonic beasts over, you have to say it's okay, the master is angry!"
Xiao Hei was also stunned, and suddenly felt that it was really not good for him to do this.
However, even though his master is angry, he does not lose his temper with them, which is really ......
"Master..."Xiao Hei rubbed Chen Bai with emotion.
"Ahem......"
Chen Bai thought, it's really not okay to let them shoot.
Xuan Ming pushed Xiao Hei with his little hand
"At this time, you should make up for such mistakes yourself!"
Xiao Hei nodded when he heard this, jumped down, and turned into a huge black leopard.
"Whoa......" Those demonic beasts saw the huge demonic beast, and felt Xiao Hei's powerful sense of oppression, they all screamed in fright, turned around and ran.
When Xuan Ming saw it, he quickly jumped down and turned into a huge monster.
"Woo Woo T
The thorns on Xuan Ming's body were like a rain of bullets, and countless thorns pierced those demonic beasts with the sound of whistling wind!
"Whew-"
For a while, countless demonic beasts cried in pain, but in the blink of an eye, the demonic beasts were almost stabbed and fell to the ground.
Xuan Ming became smaller again and said in that soft and cute voice
"Master, now they have lost the battle!"
Chen Bai hurriedly hugged Xuan Ming and helped a lot!
Although he is very strong now, he still feels fear of many magical beasts and his human nature.
"Roar!!" Xiao Hei saw that Xuan Ming was recognized by Chen Bai again, and he was so angry that he had to destroy some trees to dissipate his anger.
"Xiao Hei, you did a good job too!"
Chen Bai saw that Xiao Hei was angry on the side, and hurriedly exaggerated.
Xiao Hei was not happy at all when he heard Chen Bai's praise, and after becoming smaller, his eyes were a little adoring.
It secretly made up its mind to perform well next time!
Chen Bai touched Xiao Hei's head and said to Mi Guoguo
"Let's get started!"
