Chapter 8: The Lonely Forest and the Beginning (7)

As for Adria's capture by the Demon Beast, Chen Kai and they didn't know about it from the Internet until three hours, in fact, if it weren't for them sitting on the ground and checking the news on the Internet, it is estimated that they would still be working hard to find the exit of the Misty Forest and go to Adria through the Lost Forest the next day. (The text was first published in the reading cabinet biquge.info) The domain name is familiar to everyone, but when they know the news, they still have to work hard to find the exit of the Misty Forest, which is the tragedy of the players of Adriatic City.

If Chen Kai and the others have been to Adriatic City, then they can leave a return point in Adriatic City, then they can use the return to the city scroll that has been idle in their backpack for an unknown amount of time and fly back to Adriatic City directly. It's a pity that they have no return scroll now, but because they haven't left spatial coordinates in Adriatic City, there is no way to use the return scroll to fly back. Maybe they'll be able to escape the forest if they use random teleportation scrolls, but crucially they don't have them. It's not that Chen Kai and they don't have money to buy it, but they have money but can't buy it. As for the portal in Chen Kai's manor, Chen Kai wanted to use the portal to fly back to Hansting directly, but unfortunately the portal had a distance between teleportation and acceptance, and Chen Kai and they were separated by thousands of kilometers from the Hansting Empire, and it was impossible to teleport back.

Even if Chen Kai's portal could teleport, he couldn't afford the magic crystals needed to teleport such a long distance. Teleporting the mana crystals consumed by one person is enough to bankrupt Chen Kai, even if he counts the wealth given by Mark Hedi, it is not enough to buy the gold coins needed for those mana crystals. At the same time, even a ** division cannot teleport people thousands of kilometers away at once, that is basically only the space god Luo Lun can do, maybe some ** masters can use teleportation circles and joint spells to do this, but the materials and magic crystals consumed in that way can empty Chen Kai's wealth several times.

Therefore, Chen Kai and the others could only wander around the misty forest like headless flies, hoping to find a way out of the forest. In fact, their only hope now is to be able to see a red dot representing Fei Yun's location on the system map, and as long as that red dot appears, it means that they are not far from the exit of the Misty Forest. It's a pity that Chen Kai and they wandered around the forest for three hours, not to mention a red dot, and they didn't even see a monster. It was as if all of a sudden the monsters had disappeared, and there was not a trace of blood in the air, only a faint fresh smell of vanilla. Even if Xu Fei used the tracing technique to find traces in the spell, he could not see a trace of the beast's activity, after all, the original version of this spell was a wizard's spell, but it was modified into an arcane spell by the old mages of Khedira mage. Although there is a hint of the effect of tracing, compared to the original tracing arcane version, you can only see the traces of animals passing by within an hour, while the original version can detect the shadow marks of several hours ago.

Of course, it is not that there are no traces at all, in fact, Chen Kai found a lot of traces in the forest, and a large number of footprints were densely covered with the ground under their feet. But it is precisely because there are so many footprints that it is impossible to identify which direction the footprints are heading, so it will cause the effect of a road with footprints and no footprints. An hour ago, Chen Kai and the others hurried along the footprints of the terrain, but after wandering around for a long time, not only did they not turn to the outside of the misty forest, but they turned back to the primeval forest they left half a day ago. This means that they walked out of the Misty Forest, but in the opposite direction, and the place they came out of was not the area recorded on their map, but a new forest area. What made Chen Kai feel even more cheated was that when they wanted to return along the same road, they found that they couldn't find the way back, so they could only grit their teeth and continue to grope in the forest, and this was also the first time Chen Kai and their experience of getting lost in the game.

Five days later, when Adriatic City was in ruins, when the players guarding the Cathedral of Our Lady and the Mosque in the game were dead, and the two temples were completely razed, Chen Kai and the others walked to the edge of the forest and found Fei Yun, who had been in the tree for five days and five nights. In fact, Chen Kai and the others walked to the extension of the Misty Forest three days ago, but they had to walk along the edge of the forest in order to find Fei Yun, and after almost walking into the Misty Forest several times, they finally found Fei Yun lying on the tree and starving on the afternoon of the fifth day. Although Fei Yun carried a lot of food in his backpack, it was a pity that his food would only last for three days at most, because most of the food was stored in the backpacks of Chen Yi, Zhao Tiezhu and Su Wan. Fei Yun had ingredients in his backpack, but unfortunately there was no cooked food, and because of the monsters under his feet, he didn't dare to pull out any smelly food. It wasn't until Adria was completely destroyed three days ago that those demonic beasts slowly rushed out of the forest, and Fei Yun avoided biting the flour to survive.

Of course, if Fei Yun hadn't thought about leaving the big tree first to explore outside, it was a pity that he fled back in a hurry not long after he left. Because he found that the outside of the Lost Forest was still the territory of fierce beasts, and the number of monsters scattered on the meadows outside the forest was a little terrifying, and at the same time, the sense of smell was extremely acute. When Chen Kai and the others found Fei Yun, he was holding the tree pole to avoid the bite of three or four canine creatures under his feet, not that Fei Yun couldn't beat the other party, but that he really didn't have the strength to fight those monsters. He didn't eat well for three days, and his body was maintained in the yellow zone, where was there enough body, and he fought with these six or seventh-order monsters. By the time Chen Kai and the others found him, Fei Yun was forced by the three or four canine monsters in the tree for two days, and his body was directly lowered to the state of the cordon.

"Boss! I'm starving to death if I have anything to eat! The pale-faced Fei Yun didn't say thank you the first time he was rescued, but stretched out his trembling arm and asked Chen Kai for something to eat. It's just that Chen Kai and the others have no food in their hands, because they can't find any prey when they get lost in the forest, and there is no new food to replenish.

"Whoa! Isn't the food on the ground? We don't have anything to eat in our backpacks, and we don't have time to make a fire during this time, so we spend all time looking for the road! Chen Kai pointed to the four monsters on the ground that they killed and said, in the system's identification, the four monsters lying on the ground are called dog lions, which look a bit like the Tibetan mastiff in reality, but they are more ferocious than the Tibetan mastiff, and their hair is shorter. After all, the Tibetan mastiff is a species that lives on the Tibetan Plateau and needs thick fur to withstand wind and snow, but the dog lion is an endemic creature that lives in the Lost Forest, and is said to be a hybrid creature of dogs and lions.

"Isn't it! Even a piece of bread would be fine! Give me something to eat! I've been hungry all morning, and now I'm close to the red zone! Fei Yun was stunned for a moment when he heard Chen Kai's words, because he didn't expect Chen Kai to have no food in their backpacks, but he looked at Chen Kai's face and didn't look like he was lying.

"Whoa! The dough I have eaten is either it, let it sit for a long time, the system says that eating it may cause food poisoning, but it can also cushion the stomach, and it can restore a little bit of the body! Zhao Tiezhu took out half a cake from his backpack and handed it to Fei Yun, but anyone could see that the cake was basically inedible, because white mold had grown on it.

“… I'll eat raw meat anyway!! Fei Yun looked at the moldy dough for half a minute, and finally sighed dejectedly and set his sights on the corpse of the dog and lion on the ground that had not completely dissipated the heat. It's just that he just wanted to cut off a piece of meat from several corpses and stuff it into his mouth, Chen Kai cut all the corpses and stuffed them into his backpack, and then dragged his hand and ran towards the misty forest. Behind his ass were a few other people, and as for why they ran, it was the smell of blood on the ground, because the howl of wolves was passing through the air not far from the outside of the Lost Forest. After the group got into the misty forest, they asked Xu Fei to use a spell to get rid of the smell of blood on their bodies, and then slowly ran along the edge of the misty forest towards the north, they didn't dare to go deep into the misty forest at all, because they were afraid that it would be difficult to climb out again if they went deep into the forest.

"Boss! Stop and let me have something to eat! Otherwise, instead of dying at the hands of monsters, I would have starved to death! After running wildly for nearly five minutes, Fei Yun really couldn't run, in fact, he was not running at all now but was being carried by Chen Kai.

"Okay!" As Chen Kai's words fell, Fei Yundong was thrown to the ground by him, in fact, Chen Kai, who had been running wildly for nearly five minutes, was also exhausted. Their condition was no better than that of Fei Yun, because they were also out of food for a noon. After the last piece of meat steak was snatched up by the two little guys like hungry tigers, Chen Kai and the others could only look for Fei Yun hungry, in fact, if they didn't happen to meet the four dog lions, maybe the group would have to dig up bark and grass roots for food. Of course, in fact, there is no shortage of food in the forest, Chen Kai and his family can collect mushrooms or fruits to fill their stomachs, but it is a pity that a group of people are busy looking for roads when they are lost, and basically do not have much time to search for food. Of course, not collecting food does not mean that there is no collection on the way, if they encounter mushrooms or fungi that can be used when passing by, Chen Kai and they will still collect them directly. There are very few magical plants in the Misty Forest, but there are many edible fungi, such as lion's mane mushroom matsutake mushrooms. Of course, there are relatively rare truffles, but it is not Chen Kai and them who are looking for truffles, but two greedy little flying dragons, whose keen sense of smell can smell the truffles buried under the dead leaves and pounce on them to dig them out.

This behavior made Chen Kai and the others entangled for a long time, because they originally wanted the two little guys to follow Fei Yun's scent to find Fei Yun's location, but Fei Yun didn't find it but dug up a lot of truffles. So Chen Kai's plan to use two small flying dragons as hunting dogs was declared bankrupt with a large number of truffles being found, and now the value of truffles at this time is not as good as a small piece of bread, although processed truffles will be a good ingredient, but none of Chen Kai has experience in making truffles. Even if it weren't for the powerful data search function of the Internet, Chen Kai and the others wouldn't know that the pile of black and white balls turned out to be truffles in the game, or as lumps buried in the ground. In fact, the two little ones don't really like truffles very much, because they are almost pure carnivores, and they like meat more than Chen Kai. The truffle is completely the two of them idle, and after digging it out, they found that the smell was very good, so they were looking for it, but because they were looking for it, they forgot about the serious task.

In the end, Fei Yun's afternoon tea or everyone's afternoon tea and lunch was a few pieces of dry dough, of course, there was no way to do it. Chen Kai really wanted to find a place to barbecue meat, but he knew very well that in such a dangerous situation, the smell of barbecue would definitely attract a huge herd of beasts, and then it would not be them who would eat, but those monsters who would eat them as cooking. After eating the bread, Chen Kai and the others set out on the road again, but this time their goal was no longer Adriatic, but instead they were traveling along the Misty Forest to another ruined city, Kramerti, north of Adriatic.

As for why it was to go to Kramerti instead of the newly destroyed Adria, it wasn't because of Adria's players who might still be left in the wild, but because of the monsters roaming around. Chen Kai's current position is equivalent to the rear of the beast tide, and the result of going to Adria is to plunge into the tail of the beast tide that has not completely dispersed, and the result is definitely ten thousand times worse than being chased by monsters in the forest. Because there are at least 10,000 monsters scattered in Adriatic, and they are the size of a block, but Kramerti is not. As a town that was attacked by the beast tide and fell in an instant, Kramerti was very small, with a population of only 100,000 and only a fifth-level town. It's just that compared to Adria's players, Kramerti is basically a purely indigenous city. Yes! Because he is completely desperate for the player, or Adriatic player, he denies any player access to the town that is said to be the least welcoming player.

But it was such a small town that retreated in the beast tide, and nearly 100,000 people in the entire town withdrew from the town one by one, which has to make people wonder if the aborigines knew that the beast tide would break out and did not choose to sue the player. It's just that this judgment quickly disappeared, because Chen Kai's post was a warning given before the beast tide completely broke out, but the players in the cities around Adria didn't listen to it. It wasn't until later that the players learned that Kramerti was able to escape because of a player, a player who read Chen Kai's post and ran to Kramerti to be the savior, and the first player to be recognized by the Kramerti people, and was also the mayor of Kramerti Town later.

Of course, for Chen Kai and them, they don't care who reads their post and rescued the humans of Kramerti, what they have to do now is to take advantage of Kramerti's environment where there are basically not many monsters anymore. Infiltrate the city, find some supplies that can be used, and by the way, activate the Waypoint Province and there will be no way back after escaping into the Misty Forest. It's just that Chen Kai still feels a little hopeful for the first one, and the second one is not very hopeful, because they estimate that Kramerti's portal is probably damaged. Even if there is no damage, it is estimated that the core has been taken away by the retreating people, and without the support of the teleportation array, Chen Kai and their desire to bind the teleportation point is basically a fool's dream. Although the system simplifies the binding process of the return point, allowing the player to bind the return point around the hotel or portal in the city, but only if the portal is working properly and the hotel is open normally.

Now there are basically no living people in Kramerti, and there are probably no dead people, because those beasts will not spare any edible meat. Therefore, it is estimated that it will be a luxury to be able to find a few thigh bones, and Chen Kai and they are not very hopeful about binding back to the city. Of course, compared to binding back to the city, they were more worried that the humans of Kramerti had looted the city too clean when they retreated, and then Chen Kai and them would be finished. They were basically out of food, they were short of medicine, and worst of all, they lacked maps. Although they knew that Kramerti was in the northern part of Adriatic, there was a difference between the photo map of the players outside the game and the map in the game, especially when Chen Kai was walking through the edge of the Misty Forest.

However, they were lucky, and it took them a day to cover nearly 20 kilometers and reach the town of Kramerti without a single mistake. Although Kramerti and Adria are nearly 50 kilometers apart on the map, in fact the distance after calculating the crooked road, the actual distance between the two is only 30 kilometers. It was only through the Misty Forest that the road was eventually built for 50 kilometers, and the Lost Forest can be said to be a natural barrier for the Principality of Ankolo, but now it has become the source of the greatest disaster in the entire Principality.

"Boss! Enter now or wait for tomorrow? When the sky was slowly darkening, Chen Kai and the others had already come to the outside of Kramerti Town. Looking at the dilapidated city walls outside the town, Chen Kai could imagine the outbreak of the beast tide not long ago, as an overwhelming beast rushed into Kramerti.

"Come in now! But if you go in, find a room to hide, we can't encounter monsters at night, after all, their strength will increase a little at night, and we are limited by our sight, and we suffer from the situation that we can't use torches! Chen Kai looked up at the ruined city wall and said slowly, everyone knew very well that Chen Kai's method was the only good way, because it was impossible for them to fight monsters in a city where they didn't know how many monsters still existed. As for returning to the forest for the night, Chen Kai and the others thought about it, but they finally ran from the forest a few miles away to the city, and now they have to run back again, no matter how they think about it, they feel very uncomfortable. Therefore, Chen Kai still decided to go to the town for a night, of course, his biggest reliance was Gris, who was about to enter the ninth order, which was said by Griss himself not long ago. Here Chen Kai has to be jealous of the speed of the aborigines' advancement, if it is impossible for players to rush from the eighth order to the ninth order in a month, maybe by the time the player is the eighth order, they will need half a year of game time to upgrade to the first order, maybe it will be a year. But as long as the aborigines have an opportunity, or as long as they are immersed in training, as long as their talent is good enough, they can advance in a very short period of time, and even as long as the gods bless them, they will immediately swoop to a very high level. It's just that the aborigines are not envious of the player, because the player can level up as long as he has experience, and there is no so-called bottleneck at all.

"Then I'll open the way first! Be careful! After listening to Chen Kai's words, Fei Yun slowly got up and touched the gap in the city wall, in fact, the best place for them to walk should be the city gate. It's a pity that the gate is closed now, which means that the group can only climb into the city through the gap where the demonic beast broke through Kramerti.

"Be careful! If you encounter a monster, try to avoid it, if it really doesn't work, we'll go back to the forest and come back tomorrow morning! Chen Kai watched Fei Yun slowly climb towards the city wall, and he was worried for a while, and at this time, he suddenly felt that it might be safer to retreat to the forest first.

A few minutes later, Fei Yun sent a safety signal from the team channel, and Chen Kai and the others slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and then slowly climbed into Kramerti's city along the road marked by Fei Yun on the map. They were relieved when they had all assembled, because they hid in a resident's cellar, although this cellar was a bit low, Chen Kai could only stand in it with his body bowed and even sit with his head down, but it could accommodate everyone and have a surplus, and the most important thing was that there was food in the cellar. Warcraft don't like to eat potatoes and vegetables, but Chen Kai does, and they also find several pieces of bacon and sausage in several wheat piles. Obviously, the owner of the house deliberately hid it inside, hoping to rely on the smell of wheat to cover up the smell of bacon, but the smell was not found by the demonic beasts, but it was cheaper for Chen Kai and them.

"Good luck today! Finally, I don't have to just nibble on bread anymore! Looking at the scorching pieces of meat on the bonfire, Chen Kai's saliva was about to stay. After Xu Fei sealed the entrance to the cellar with a magic array, Chen Kai and the others didn't have to worry about the smell of barbecue running out, which meant that they could finally eat a hot meal in peace. Although there are not many pieces of meat that are worried about the lack of oxygen due to the blockade, at least they are enough to eat together in bread for a night.

"Tomorrow at dawn, we'll run a few more houses and fill up the food storage space in our backpacks! I don't want to go hungry like this anymore! Fei Yun covered his bulging belly and lay down slowly, tonight he could finally sleep peacefully in the game, without worrying that the dog lion under the tree would take him down and eat it.

"Yes! It has to be filled! Chen Kai thought of the two big stomachs in the pet space, whether it was Lal or Donnie had a huge appetite, Lal was a little better and only needed a few bags of oats or black beans to send it away, but Donnie was a meat-loving store zài than him. Now for Chen Kai, they have a good opportunity to solve the food of the two little flying dragons for a month at one time, as long as they rob the entire Kramerti meat. Of course, this cannot be said to be a robbery, but only a search for discarded materials. After all, Kramerti had already fallen into the aggression of the beast tide, and Chen Kai was searching for materials that could be used after the beast tide passed. No one could have imagined that there would be such a group of people behind the beast tide, and it can be said that it is a miracle that Chen Kai and them survived.
