Chapter 31: The Dark Night Forest
In the southwest of the Heavenly Soul Country, there is a stretch of mountains that stretches as far as the eye can see, and this narrow mountain range has also become a natural dividing zone between the Anthropocene Realm and the Dark Night Forest, and the border line of the Heavenly Soul Country ends here.
However, I don't know whether it is due to the force of nature or man-made reasons, in the middle of these mountains, there is a distance of nearly a kilometer that seems to be cut away alive, leaving only two extremely vertical cliffs, and the cliffs can only see extremely high and steep rock walls, and further up, it is surrounded by clouds and mist, and it is impossible to see how high it is.
There is no record of this canyon in any recorded history, and it seems that this cliff has existed here since the beginning of human civilization, so it is generally believed that it should be a masterpiece of nature.
However, it seems that I heard an old man say that this place is related to a Doudi powerhouse a long, long time ago, and it seems to involve a certain supreme existence in the boundless dark night forest, and the two strongest people in the world have launched a fierce battle here, and this cliff is the passage opened up by the powerful man of the Warcraft back then to attack the world.
However, this is only a legend that has been circulated among a very small number of people, and there is no way to verify it, after all, the existence of this level of Dou Emperor has disappeared for I don't know how many thousands of years have passed.
And the army of demonic beasts mentioned in the legend, and even the terrifying boundless beast tide, etc., now no longer exists, but because you can directly enter the boundless dark night forest after passing the cliff here, there are naturally many low-level demonic beasts that suddenly appear here, causing a panic, and the monsters that have appeared here in recent years, whether it is the number or the strength level, have a tendency to strengthen, and even among them, there are also many demonic creatures, which have attracted the attention of the royal family of the Heavenly Soul Country.
Therefore, since more than ten years ago, Xu Zhantian's father, General Xu, has been sent here by the royal family, and has sent heavy troops to guard the side of the canyon near the Heavenly Soul Country to resist the demonic beasts and monsters that break into the canyon here from time to time.
At this time, Xu Zhen and several people from the lone wolf mercenary team came here, and after a simple inspection, a few people could pass through here and enter the boundless dark night forest.
And on the way before coming here, in addition to Abu, who had been chattering, Xu Zhen had also known the names of several other people in the team, the leading captain was called Kane, the cold man with the sword was called Zhuo Luo, and the only female magician was called Tang Ling'er.
At this time, several people had entered the dark night forest, although it was only on the periphery of the forest, but the trees had grown extremely high, and the sunlight sprinkled on the ground through the lush leaves was almost invisible.
Perhaps feeling the gloom and depression in the forest, Abu, who has always talked a lot, was also much quieter at this time, and several people under the leadership of captain Kane shuttled through the forest silently and quickly.
Although the speed of a few people is not slow, the area covered by the Dark Night Forest is extremely broad, and after nearly an hour of speed, several people are still in the periphery of the forest, and even until this time, except for a few common small animals, there is not a single level of demonic beasts above the first level.
The men found a dry and hidden place to tidy up a bit, while captain Kane pulled out a piece of parchment from his bosom, which could be seen from some of the signs on it, it was a map.
"From now on, we're officially starting to enter the forest." Kane spoke: "There may be some attacks from demonic beasts in the future, so everyone should pay more attention and avoid the battles that can be avoided as much as possible, so as not to attract powerful demonic beasts." ”
"Zhilu said, the boss is so verbose every time," Abu pouted and said aloud.
"Just know that you have forgotten the lesson of the last time? If it weren't for your belligerence, you wouldn't have attracted that night wolf, and the fourth brother wouldn't have been injured! Hum! Hearing Abu's muttering, the magician named Tang Ling'er said angrily.
"Oh, I know it's wrong, if Sister Ling'er lets me meet that guy again, I have to split it with my own hands!"
"You!"
"Alright, you two don't quarrel, after a short rest, we'll set off immediately, and try to reach the haunt of the demon wolf before dark." Interrupting the two arguing, Kane continued: "After setting off in a while, I will lead the way in front, Zhuo Luo left flank, Mr. Xu right flank, Ling'er in the middle, as for Abu, this time I will be in charge of the rear of the palace, remember!" No one should be more than five meters away from the people around them! ”
Hearing Kane's words, Abu, who was placed in the back, looked extremely dissatisfied, but after seeing the captain's stern eyes, he had to bow his head helplessly and walk to the side dejectedly.
After a few people rested for a while, they started to hurry again, at this time the road in the forest was not as obvious as at the beginning, if it were not for the leadership of the captain Kane, Xu Zhen felt that he really couldn't find the way out of the forest.
Finally, before the forest was completely covered in darkness, Xu Zhen and his party arrived at their temporary destination - a small lake. It's just that Kane didn't stop, and after leading everyone forward for another distance, he finally found a place he thought was relatively safe and prepared to camp.
"Let's rest here tonight." Kane said: "The lake just now is where the Dark Moon Demon Wolf drinks, and once night comes, a group of demonic beasts will gather there, which is more dangerous. ”
"Shall we act tonight?" Abu asked.
Helplessly glancing at the excited Abu, Kane said: "No, the strength of the Dark Moon Demon Wolf will increase greatly at night, especially on the day of the full moon, and it is not something we can match, we are just resting tonight, and we will start looking for this wolf's den early tomorrow morning." ”
Hearing Kane's words, Abu Zhilu confessed that he was ignorant again, and walked to the side and sat down.
Kane, on the other hand, opened his bag, took out a few packets of powder, and sprinkled them a little further away from the crowd.
"What Warcraft?" Seeing Kane's actions, Xu Zhen asked out loud.
"Second-level Warcraft Decepticon."
"Oh, that's good." Xu Zhen said with a smile, he knew that at this time, Kane was scattered around must be the feces of some kind of high-level demonic beasts, in order to drive away the nearby low-level demonic beasts through the smell, Xu Zhen praised this mercenary captain who was not outstanding in his heart, this person's combat effectiveness was not mentioned, but his mind was extremely meticulous, and this person was extremely familiar with the environment of the Dark Night Forest, with such a captain, it would greatly improve the survival rate of the entire mercenary team.
Leaving Zhuo Luo to keep vigil, the rest of the mercenary team fell asleep, hearing the slight snoring sound of Abu beside him, Xu Zhen lay on the thick leaves with his head in his hands, but did not close his eyes.
I don't know if it's because of his game profession or something else, Xu Zhen actually felt a little refreshment in the dark night forest, although the surroundings had fallen into inky night, but Xu Zhen found that he could see things far away
For example, the silver giant wolf with green eyes not far away!
