Chapter 170: The Polluted Forest (6)
In fact, because there are many places where the names of places are repeated in the game, even the names of forests are repeated. The most important thing is that sometimes some aborigines will write typos when recording place names, so that some places that were originally just similar in pronunciation ended up making more than similar pronunciation, so at first Chen Kai and they were not sure whether this forest was the Denzel Forest on the edge of the Elven Empire.
There are many places called Denzel in the game, and there are three small towns called Denzel in the Hansting Empire alone, as for the villages, there are not seventeen or eighteen, but there are also twelve or thirteen. There are three or four small villages created by the player named Denzel, the only difference being the name of the lord that presides it. At the same time, there is also a place with the forest suffix in the Hansting Empire, and if you zoom in to the entire game map, there are at least seven or eight forests with the name Denzel Forest.
But the word death was added in front of the name of this forest in the diary, so Chen Kai and the others completely ruled out the possibility of other identical place names, and only needed to find a map on the Internet. Although there are not many places in the game where the name of the forest has been named death before, there is only one place called Denzel Forest, which is located in the northeast of the Elven Empire, connecting to the Rohan Empire to the east of the Denzel Forest. In fact, if this forest is not too dangerous, in fact, it is definitely a shortcut to return to the Elven Empire through the Guò Rohan Empire, because at least it can shorten the journey by more than a thousand kilometers. The problem is that almost none of the people who want to shorten the journey have ever made it out of the Denzel forest, because the forest is too dangerous. Even if it's a forest elf with the title of a child of the forest. It is also impossible to communicate with the spirits of nature in this forest, as this forest is said to have been cursed by the goddess of nature. Of course, that's just a matter of saying that in fact this area is at least the size of France and Germany, but it is just polluted. It's just that it's a dominant-level demon that pollutes it.
In order to prevent the polluted creatures of the forest from escaping, the goddess of nature cursed the forest, so the forest became extremely hostile to the worshippers of the goddess of nature. Of course, this qiē is only speculation, and no one has been able to come up with evidence that the goddess of nature has cursed the forest, or even anyone can come up with evidence to refute this. In the end, rumors are still rumors, but those who believe in it will not enter the forest, and those who do not believe in it will never be able to get out of the forest.
There is no doubt that this adventurer named Scheer belongs to the kind of people who do not believe that this forest is cursed. He then led his team of adventurers into the forest, and then he remained here forever as a floating corpse in a small lake in the forest. The most important point is that Scheer came to this forest five years ago, that is, when Chen Kai and the others had not yet entered the game world. And the last day in the diary happened to be the time when Chen Kai and the others came to this game world. It's just that when Chen Kai was born in the game, this adventurer named Scheer ushered in his own death, of course, maybe not death but imminent death. Because it was clear that when Scheer stuffed his diary in brown paper and stuffed it into the compartment of his backpack, he should not have died, but had been caught or trapped.
In Chen Kai's speculation, this guy named Scheer may have managed to escape. He also brought his backpack and a bag of belongings and set out on the way home. But unfortunately, in the end, he did not escape the fate of death. became a corpse sunk at the bottom of this small lake, and it was not until Chen Kai and the others arrived that he was able to surface and see the light of day.
However, Chen Kai felt strange that he had been soaked in water for so long, why his body was only swelling and not decaying. Obviously, it has a lot to do with things that are not recorded in the diary, but Chen Kai is not interested in these things, and what they want to know is the way out of this forest. It's just a pity that the place where this adventurer named Sher entered the forest belonged to the territory of the Rohan Empire, not the Elven Empire they wanted to go to. Therefore, the path recorded in this diary is meaningless to them, on the contrary, if they follow this path, then they will be farther and farther away from the Elven Empire.
Of course, although this path is of little significance to Chen Kai and them, what Scheer recorded in the day hit is very valuable for Chen Kai and them. When it comes to the monsters in the Denzel Forest, no one understands their horror better than Scheer and the adventurers who have gone deep into it. Scheer's team of adventurers isn't particularly strong, but they're definitely capable enough and there are quite a few of them. The adventurer team composed of fifty-seven people is definitely a relatively strong and backbone representative of the adventurer team of less than 100 people. Unfortunately, according to Scheer's diary, less than a month after entering the forest, there were less than twenty people left in the adventure group with more than fifty members.
If it weren't for the treasure map in Scheer's hand, it is estimated that half of the losses would have been withdrawn from the forest. But because of this, the entire party lost their last chance to escape from the forest, and when they arrived at the treasure site, they naturally found the legendary treasure, an elven city abandoned in the forest. In the last era, the Elven Empire had three ancient trees of life, and finding this city at the same time also proved the fact that this forest was cursed, because the reason why Teramis was destroyed was because of a demon master who tore through the space to reach the main material plane.
The group led by Scheer not only found the destroyed Teramis, but also saw the fallen Demon Master, a huge corpse with a body length of more than 100 meters, lying on the edge of a fallen ancient tree of life. There are two other ruined Trees of Life on the side, but the most important thing for them is not to look at the ruins, but to find the treasures beneath the ruins. There is no doubt that Scheer and they have succeeded, how much wealth is buried in the capital of an elven empire, it is definitely enough to make an ordinary person instantly become a rich man in a country. Because it was the capital of the elven empire in the previous era, and the elven empire in the last era was notoriously rich.
However, this qiē still has nothing to do with Chen Kai, or those treasures have nothing to do with them, but that elven city has a lot to do with them. Because if Chen Kai had no mistakes in the map in their hands. Then it is very likely that they will need to cross the forest through the ruined city of Terramis in order to finally reach the Elven Empire. Of course, they could also choose not to pass through the city, because according to Scheer's diary, the ruined city was quite a dangerous place. Because when the nearly twenty most elite members of the adventure group led by Scheer entered the city, only three of them fled from the city with their treasures.
It's a pity that Scheer, who fled here with his wealth in the end, also died in the forest, but Chen Kai and they didn't know how long Scheer had fled in the forest, so naturally they couldn't judge how far away the location he appeared in was from the elf capital. If they can judge the distance, then they can choose the road better.
It's just that unfortunately Chen Kai and the others have no way to judge the direction in this forest, and when Fei Yun climbed up from the tree pole, he saw nothing but the almost endless forest. At least that's all there is to the horizon, except for trees, this is the only thing Fei Yun knows about this forest. As for high-altitude aerial photography, it is even more unfortunate. I don't know if it's any special force, but the sky above this forest is filled with chaotic air currents. The two flying dragons tossed for a long time before they flew to a place less than five hundred meters above the ground, and Fei Laosi, who was hanging, was almost not scared to death because of the continuous chaotic air current.
"Boss! There is no doubt that this forest is huge! Fei Yun, whose feet were weak, lay on the ground, gasping constantly. And the two wyverns were also extremely tired. It was the first time they had experienced such an uncomfortable flight, and as a wyvern, it was definitely not something to boast about after only flying for less than a few minutes before they were tired and gasping for breath.
After reading the diary thoroughly, Chen Kai and the others began to sort out the gold coins, which were undoubtedly excavated from the city of Telamis, although they were a little dull by the lake water. However, the exquisite ornamentation belonging to the elves on the gold coins still shows the value of this batch of gold coins. The only problem is that no matter what kind of gold you put in, you just put it in the player's own purse. The result is that it is converted into extremely ordinary Imperial Gold. Therefore, these gold coins were packed by Chen Kai and stuffed into a portable space bag, instead of being poured directly into the money bag, because then the value of these gold coins would plummet. However, a large number of elf gold coins from the previous era entered the ancient gold coin trading market, which would also make the value of this kind of gold coin plummet, and this was what Chen Kai and the others did not want to see.
However, for Chen Kai and them, the value of these gold coins is still secondary, and the most important thing is those golden magic items. There is no doubt that the most profitable thing about the elven empire in the last era is that the magic items they make are the most exquisite and practical in the entire continent, even after thousands of years, these magic items still carry a strong magical power. The only problem was that Chen Kai and the others didn't know the function of these magic items at all, even Nero Ailu. By the time she was born, Teramis had long since disappeared into the forest of Denzel. At the same time, the territory of the Elven Empire has also shrunk by nearly one-third due to the Denzel Forest. The most important thing is that at the end of the last epoch, the Elven Empire was damaged by Yan zhòng, and many of the manufacturing skills of the magic equipment were lost. Even Nero Elu, a legendary spellcaster, couldn't discern the specific purpose of a few pieces of golden spell equipment in a short period of time.
At the same time, although the years have not completely worn away the magic of these spell equipment, it is enough to make their quality deteriorate, and perhaps in a few hundred years these things will be completely useless garbage, and then disappear under the dirt and sand.
So while Chen Kai and Nero showed a direction and began to move slowly, the elven mage sat cross-legged on the floating magic disk, carefully studying the magic items of the elven clan in the previous era. The magic disc is carried by the rope and floats in the forest, but it is not completely safe to do so, as there are many magical areas in the forest. A casual fall from the floating plate is still light, and the explosion of the entire floating disk is the most terrifying. Of course, for Chen Kai, after knowing that the name of this forest was Denzel, they quickly added divine protection to everyone.
Chen Yi and Feifei Wong received a second divine technique from the departed Eng Paladin, in addition to the healing divine technique, the purely protective protective divine technique is basically unable to resist the blows of elemental power or physical attacks except for the erosion and curse of certain evil forces. But this divine protective skill is just right in this forest. No one knew what strange would happen in this place topped with a forest polluted by demonic power, on top of a cursed forest. Not only did Chen Yi and Feifei Wong add a sacred protective enchantment to everyone, but even He Liwen released an anti-curse enchantment for everyone.
Looking at the golden and green light emitted by the two enchantments on his body. Everyone calmed down a little, and then clenched their weapons and slowly shuttled through the forest. Although a few elven spells could not be guided by the spirits of nature, as elves they knew a lot of ways not to lose their way in the forest. Under the guidance of several elven mages, although Chen Kai and the others still took a lot of detours, they did not deviate from the direction.
It's just that the light in this forest is so dim that even during the day when the sun shines overhead, the ground in the forest is as dark as night. In this case, the consumption rate of torches was faster than Chen Kai and their expectations, and in order to reduce the consumption of torches, Chen Kai had to act as a light bulb and Chen Yi to form an artificial light source. Supported by the consumption of fighting energy and mana. The faint light emanating from Chen Kai and Chen Yi became one of the few light sources on the forest floor.
The armor of the people walking on the rough road was constantly clashing, and the air in the forest at noon was unusually hot, but the forest was a little cold in the previous night. A forest with such a huge temperature difference. It wasn't the first time Chen Kai had seen him, because he had entered a forest with a temperature difference greater than that of here, and he had been chased and killed by alien skeleton soldiers.
"Be careful to conserve water!" Chen Kai lifted his helmet and wiped his face with a towel cooled by ice water, this cold feeling made him very comfortable, but the sticky sweat on his body still made him quite uncomfortable. When Chen Kai wiped his sweat. Others have also cooled down in their own ways. even poured water directly from his face into the armor, and the dripping water dripped from the cracks in the armor to the ground, and Chen Kai had to remind him.
"Got it!" Hearing Chen Kai's words, Zhao Tiezhu, who was about to try the same cooling method as Xuehaifeng, stopped, but after thinking about it, he still poured out water, but at least poured some on his face, and the amount was much less than that of Xuehaifeng.
"Boss! How long do we need to walk like this? Fei Yun stood behind Chen Kai, and Fei Yun's figure shrank under Chen Kai's back in a faint faint light. Wearing leather armor, he was also a little hot at the moment, and he was opening the buckle on the leather armor to dissipate heat.
"I don't know!" Chen Kai's answer was very simple, because he really didn't know, he didn't know why his group ended up in this forest, and he didn't know how far the Elven Empire was. I don't even know how many dangers are hiding around me.
"Keep going! Don't waste your energy on this kind of meaningless thinking, you just have to believe that we can get out of this forest! Chen Kai patted Fei Yun's shoulder and said. Then he frowned and looked ahead. In Chen Kai's sight, there was no sound in the dark forest, except for the sound of their marching footsteps, but Chen Kai's eyes were blessed with a red shadow in the eyes of the stars.
"Be careful! It seems that there are enemies!! Chen Kai pointed to the dark bushes in the distance and said, as his words fell, everyone gently pulled out their weapons, and several dwarven musketeers directly stuffed bullets into the magazine, ready to pull the trigger and fire the bullet at any time.
The moment everyone stepped through the bushes, the torches were lit, because relying only on the divine glimmer emanating from Chen Kai and Chen Yi could not illuminate the surrounding environment at all, and once they encountered the dim lighting environment of the enemy, it would have a great impact on the battle.
The moment the torches were lit, everyone saw the enemy, a skeleton hanging from a tree trunk. After seeing the crowd, the skeleton kept waving its arms and tried to get down from the tree, but the vines wrapped around his body were so strong that no matter how much it tossed, it couldn't get off the tree.
"Fix it!" For this kind of monster that gives away experience for free, Chen Kai and they just don't know what to say, so they quickly arranged a resounding aftermath for it. Directly let the dwarves shatter its skull with bullets, and then Chen Kai burned all the soul fires with the holy flame.
However, after killing this skeleton that was not very strong, Chen Kai and the others actually found a broken backpack on the ground. Of course, there were undoubtedly some gold coins and even gems in the backpack, as well as a few golden spell items that were similar to the ones I had obtained earlier.
"It seems that this guy should be one of the three adventurers who escaped with Scheer!" Chen Kai sighed as he looked at the corpse that had turned into white ashes, and at the same time had a bad thought in his heart, that is, his group should not be on the way to Teramis.
There is no doubt that when this thought rises in the depths of his heart, Chen Kai's mood becomes heavier and heavier. It is true that there is absolutely a huge amount of wealth buried in the capital of the elven empire that has disappeared into the long river of history, but the problem is that you have to have the life to get this money. As long as he saw the ending of Scheer and other adventurers, Chen Kai knew how dangerous it was. (To be continued......)
