It is clear that this was once a fertile place, and the tall branches of oak and maple trees have dried up, but they still record the prosperity of the past. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Most of the dead branches and leaves have been distorted, and with a few other oddly shaped trees, the original vegetation species is no longer visible in many parts of this large woodland. Most of the dead wood is black, with a shiny trunk and small branches. Chen Mo broke off a piece of bark, took it in his hand and smelled it, but there was no smell of corruption. The exposed trunk of the tree is a smoky gray, and the sound of gold and stone hitting is very hard under the blow. These trees looked up and were fifty or sixty feet tall, and although the leaves had long since withered, they still blocked out the already inadequate light in this place.

There is also a lower kind of book interspersed among the tall giant trees. These trees are generally dark gray, distorted in shape, and the trees are scattered with large and small nodules, which are extremely hideous and ugly, like those terrifying trees that grow in cemeteries in horror movies. The tree appears to be highly perishable, with its decaying bark falling off even when no one touches it, and according to observations, the tree is loose and prone to cracking and burning.

According to the feedback from several people who went out to investigate, this withered woodland is very large, and several people have not reached the edge in a short time, and the light here is not enough, and the map markers cannot be used, so it is really difficult to find the way. Although a few people have some experience in pathfinding, but that's it, just going out to explore the path and then finding the starting point where everyone is is wasted a lot of effort. Moreover, the thief who was exploring to the west didn't go far before he was attacked by an inexplicable creature, and without fully understanding the strength and number of the opponent, he directly chose to get out of the battle as quickly as possible. The attackers moved swiftly through the woods, seemingly perfectly adapted to the dim environment, using the thick trunks as cover, and in the flickering motion, they did not let the thief see what kind of creature was attacking them.

After listening to everyone's report, the Wall of Sighs groaned slightly, and then decided that the whole group would start exploring to the west. The reason is also very simple, they go down to the dungeon, just to kill monsters and fight bosses, and there is nothing to go to where there is nothing.

There was a glitter of light in the crowd, and there was a member of the team who had teleported, this man was tall, heavily armored from head to toe, and it was obvious that he was a warrior, and his panting appearance showed that he was indeed in a hurry. With the arrival of this last member of the group, after the team was in order, the Wall of Sighs led everyone to open.

On the way the team moved, the light bulb still leaned towards Chen Mo and the others intentionally or unintentionally. It's just that this master's gorgeous equipment, which originally shone in the sun, is still extremely dazzling in this gloomy environment, but the luminous intensity is a little weaker.

Although you can see the sky, the environment here is still very gray, and it is impossible to tell if it is day or night, but it is full of all kinds of creatures that do not need light to survive, and these small things often have a strong ability to perceive, and perhaps have the ability to see dark. When Chen Mo's group of twenty-five people stepped on these broken branches and made a burst of noise, some unknown insects would always emerge from the ground and flee to other places to hide, and several female members of the team would scream.

On the ground, the occasional broken stone and crystal glow faintly to illuminate a small portion of the road, while glowing creatures such as moss and lichen glow with a shimmering blue-green glow.

As the team marched, there were more and more strange plants, and there were already two strange trees with nodules that attacked everyone, but their fragile branches did not pose any threat to everyone, and two or three people just slashed at random with their weapons, and killed these fragile dryads on the spot. It's just that with the appearance of these dryads, everyone's originally suppressed emotions caused by the environment here have become more anxious.

Chen Mo had thought about lighting a few torches before, but there were flammable trees everywhere, and it was obviously not a wise choice to start a fire. Fortunately, it is a team action, and there are enough priests. Basically, there is always a Cleric who casts Light in the middle of the party, and if the mana drops below half, the other Priests are replaced, leaving enough mana to deal with any possible attacks.

It has to be said that the speed of the team's overall progress is still faster than the speed of individual scouts, and it didn't take long for everyone to come to the place where the thief was attacked. Although everyone also noticed that there seemed to be shadows between the trees that had not been touched by the light technique, and there were traces of rapid movement of creatures, they never saw each other come forward.

At this time, someone in the group spoke up: "Cut, I thought it was something powerful, seeing that there are so many of us, we don't even dare to go up, and then bully the lonely, let's go Kagegawa, and my brothers will avenge you." ”

The previous pathfinder thief's name was originally Kagegawa, Chen Mo groaned slightly, but he was not ready to go out with these eager guys.

Before a few people could move, the Wall of Sighs spoke: "All silent, stop the light technique, and prepare for the impact!" ”

I have to say that the prestige of the Wall of Sighs is still good, although the people below have various personalities, but they will all keep their mouths shut under his command.

Sure enough, after the priest stopped releasing the light spell, the dark shadows in the trees around the crowd gradually increased, and looking at the unknown creatures flying in the forest, several female players unconsciously leaned towards the center of the team. The bewitching female priest who had spoken to the big bulb before leaned directly into the bulb's arms, but the bulb brother flashed to the side with a disgusted face, and seemed to be unwilling to enjoy the treatment of this beautiful woman.

With a piercing scream, the black shadows that gathered more and more around them finally launched an attack on everyone, watching the other party attack, everyone's originally tense nerves relaxed a little at this moment, and various skills also found catharsis, and they rushed forward one after another.

The moment the two sides came into contact, only the hoarse voice of the Wall of Sighs shouted, "All the priests, turn on the illumination!" Suddenly, the entire woodland was illuminated as if it were daylight, and everyone could see the attacker's appearance clearly.

These terrifying and twisted creatures are very similar to the tarantulas that Chen Mo encountered at the beginning, the only difference is that the upper body of the spider's body is a humanoid body, although the appearance is extremely ugly, and the body is also a little swollen, but it can still be seen from the pointed ears that these creatures are probably mutants of elves and spiders. These arachnid spirits move quickly with the support of the spider's eight legs, and as the upper body with arms, they even hold bows and arrows or short swords. Moreover, Chen Mo also noticed that there seemed to be a spider elf holding a staff in the distance. It seems that these creatures may still maintain their pre-mutation wisdom, and they can still cast spells.

The tactics of the Wall of Sighs clearly worked, and the sudden appearance of a huge light caused the creatures with dark vision to be blinded for a short time, and the group launched a counterattack. (To be continued.) )
