Chapter 164: Forest of Mist
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
A group of six people left Perth City.
Compared to the last adventure, this time there are real thighs in the team...... Rice, who is close to the peak of the sixth level, can be regarded as a fairly high combat power.
Although the level of the class has not reached the silver level, with the magic weapon shield refined by Ji Ran, the defense power is surprisingly high, and the demonic beasts of ordinary silver intermediaries can't do anything about him. As a conservation team, the storage zài is almost the most sufficient.
Ji Ran and Anya, the two swordsmen, have mastered all the swordsmanship of the gold rank, and their real strength will not be much worse. Needless to say, Erin, an elven ranger, carries a starlight falcon and a magic weapon longbow, and his combat power is almost ironclad at the same level.
The only one seems to be a little cumbersome Alice, but in Ji Ran's eyes, she is the most mysterious one. Her puppet Apple, surely more than just a small umbrella and a few rays of light...... But if you want to see her true strength, I'm afraid it's not so easy.
Naturally, there are no powerful demonic beasts on the periphery of Perth City, and even if there were before, they have been almost killed by many strong people. As a commercial city, it is natural to need safe and stable business routes. If you follow the main road, you will reach the kingdom of Liber safely, and it will not be a problem at all - in most cases.
Occasionally, there will be things like beast tides. The so-called beast tide is that monsters and wild beasts run out of their habitats for various reasons and rush onto the main roads between cities in various countries, causing great danger to pedestrians - so even in times of safety, caravans and other organizations will still bring a large number of escorts to walk between cities.
Ordinary civilians who wanted to travel between cities generally needed to follow a caravan that accommodated outsiders to stay safe. Of course. Travel expenses are indispensable. Similarly, there are people who travel alone to save money. But in this case, not only the monsters, but also the thieves and bandits roaming outside will not let you go...... Therefore, it is a miracle that Lydia was able to run from her hometown to Perth City.
The god of luck took too much care of her.
As adventurers, people naturally do not choose the main road. What can I gain by walking down the main road? Unless it is to serve as a guard for a caravan, adventurers have never had anything to do with the concept of the road.
A few days later. The group descended into the Misty Forest, south of Perth.
The Forest of Mists is a famous adventure mecca in the whole Big 6, and of course, it is also one of the places where adventurers are buried the most.
Legend has it that the Forest of Mists didn't originally call it that way, in fact it wasn't even a forest in the first place. Before ancient times, it used to be a mountain, among the mountains. It is a variety of palaces. At that time, it was a small country, small but very rich.
The country's magic technology is very good, and alchemy is also among the best. Based on magic and alchemy, the country has also organized a Demon Knight Escort - arming warriors with magic and alchemy, allowing them to wield their own level of strength.
But in the midst of a catastrophe. The country was ruined. There are many theories about the cause of the disaster, some say that other countries were jealous of the country and then moved their armies to wipe it out overnight; Others say that the powerful monsters of ancient times were angry because the country was unscrupulous to capture their people, and gathered to level this place; Others say it's a natural phenomenon, and a meteorite that fell from the sky smashed the country to pieces......
All in all. After a violent explosion, the country disappeared from antiquity. And next. It was the huge fog that shrouded all this area, and at its thickest time, it even reached Cheng Dù, who couldn't see his five fingers.
No one dared to come to this forest of mist, because there were countless resentful spirits inside. Even with the magic and alchemy of Nada in ancient times, it would be quite difficult to destroy these resentful spirits. And among these resentful spirits, there is also a powerful king of resentful spirits, because there is no entity that cannot be killed by physical attacks, and it is good at many spells, causing this fog to dare not have any living creatures enter at all.
But the times have changed, and in this fog, it has gradually faded. No one knows why, maybe the King of Resentful Souls finally gave up and the resentment dissipated, or maybe it ran out of energy and fell asleep, all in all, the resentful spirits in the mist began to gradually decrease, and they were no longer as terrifying as before.
Then, trees began to grow in the mist. These trees are similar to the ones outside, but with all sorts of strange variations. With trees, animals began to appear. And like the trees, the animals here are also slightly different from those outside. Countless alchemists and magicians have studied how this phenomenon has arisen here, but have not yielded any authoritative results. However, the properties of various materials here are slowly being studied.
And inside this misty forest, there are still many ruins. These ruins are the legacy of that small country in ancient times. Ever since the Forest of Mists was no longer so dangerous, countless adventurers had gone in and turned out the ancient relics inside, either to improve their own strength, or to sell them for money, which really caused a burst of vigorous adventures. Of course, everything here has been searched for thousands of years ago, but it still does not affect the countless adventurers who come here one after another to try their luck.
Of course, in addition to the ruins, the Forest of Mists itself is also of great value for exploration. The magical beasts and plants here are unique to themselves, and even if there are similar magical beasts and plants in other places, they will not have the unique effect of the materials produced here. Perhaps it was the fog that mutated these plants and animals...... However, the exact cause has not yet been ascertained.
No one even knows why the Forest of Mists is shrouded in fog all year round...... There are so many secrets in the world of magic.
When Ji Ran and the others came to the Misty Forest, they naturally had to find a campsite first.
"The fog here is really big...... Ji Ran looked ahead. The general map of this world is similar to the game world, and the terrain fluctuations and weather temperatures are basically similar. But after all, this is a real world, and it can't be exactly the same as in the game. On the side of the Blue Pine Forest, it's okay to say that you can find the corresponding place in the game, but this Misty Forest is really not available in the game.
In this forest, the trees are just as tall, but most of them have a dark hue. Probably because the scene can't absorb too much sunlight, so the variation of the appearance of the guide zhì is there.
And in the forest, there is a white mist everywhere. These white fogs are not evenly distributed, and they are not particularly thick when they are on the periphery, but when they are a few hundred meters away, there is basically nothing to be seen.
The tones inside the Forest of Mist are relatively dim, and there is no way, the sunlight is blocked by the fog. And the trees and flowers here are the same, they all look darker than ordinary ones. Staying here, there is always a feeling of depression.
"Not everywhere is like this, and occasionally there is no fog and direct sunlight in places where there is zài. Most of those places are occupied by some large adventurous groups and used as campsites...... After all, it's better to stay in that kind of place than to be dim and dark here. "Les clearly has experience exploring the Misty Forest.
The group had now found a campsite, a small leeward valley. There are no caves, but there are a few large trees next to them to provide shelter from the wind and rain. A little arrangement at the entrance of the valley can also block the invasion of demonic beasts.
This is the first day of entering the Misty Forest, and it is already getting dark, so everyone is ready to take a break and start their official adventure early tomorrow morning.
Ji Ran naturally began to prepare dinner, and the others helped collect firewood or something. The various plants and animals in this Misty Forest have mutated, and Ji Ran still doesn't know if these things can be eaten.
Water is fine, Les said, alchemists have sampled the water sources in the forest, and finally proved that the fog does not pollute these water sources. But why plants and animals mutate, alchemists can't give a good explanation.
Fortunately, Ji Ran carried a lot of various ingredients, and it was not a problem to support it for a few days.
Ever since Alice entered the Misty Forest, her face was full of curiosity. In order to cooperate with the wild adventure, those gorgeous cute costumes were put away by her and replaced with all kinds of clothes that are more suitable for adventure. Now, for example, she wears a tight-fitting little shirt and pants, and turns the little apple into a small umbrella, but instead of holding it up, she runs around the valley with it in her hand.
"Alice, don't run around, it's dangerous." Ji Ran still cares about this little Lori very much. The Forest of Mists made him feel strange, so he didn't want Alice out of his sight.
"It's okay, it's a great place! I can hear a lot of sounds, and those sounds are funny! Alice smiled, still running around.
Regarding the voice Alice heard, Ji Ran was also quite puzzled...... Because he can't hear at all. But when I turned my head and thought about Alice's own origins, I was relieved...... As an ordinary human, it is also normal not to hear certain bands of sound.
There are obviously a lot of demonic beasts in the Forest of Mist, and there is no shortage of gold-level demonic beasts either. But those gold-level demonic beasts were all in the depths of the Misty Forest, and they were not within the scope of exploration that everyone expected.
After a dinner, Ji Ran and Lethban unfolded the tent together. Then there was the question of arranging the vigil, which everyone except Alice had arranged. With so many people, the vigil is simple.
In the first half of the night of the first day, the night watchman who arranged was Ji Ran. But after a while, Anya climbed out of the tent, came to the side of the fire, and sat down beside Ji Ran.
"Why don't you go to sleep? Tomorrow we're going to have a hard day. If you don't sleep well today, you won't be able to keep up tomorrow. Ji Ran looked at Anya.
Anya, on the other hand, leaned against a fallen dead tree and looked up at the sky. Stars can be seen in the sky, but due to the fog, only a few sparse, particularly bright stars can be faintly seen.
"Can't sleep...... I guess I'm too excited. Anya's face obviously had a look of excitement.
