Chapter 6: The Ghost Forest of the Border City
Since the first training, Ding Ruoyu has never seen Nangong Yi again. Chen Lan said that he had been transferred to the first group a long time ago because of his strong strength, and he had not heard of him in any other way. She once asked Sleepless, but Sleepless only smiled bitterly, the team members changed too fast, where do you remember so many people.
After three years, everyone's physical fitness has reached a very high level, and the internal strength and moves have been almost practiced, and the way of training has finally changed.
They began to learn how to fight with blades.
I heard from the instructor that when they were proficient in the use of blades, they would consider whether to expose everyone to witchcraft in advance.
The dead who practice witchcraft will take a medicine, be subject to witchcraft, and will not be able to break away from it for the rest of their lives, otherwise they will not only be hunted down endlessly, but the drug alone will make them miserable. Ding Ruoyu knew that not all witchcraft disciples had the opportunity to learn witchcraft, and not everyone who read witchcraft cheats could practice it.
But if you know witchcraft, as long as your spiritual power is enough, you will be much more powerful than martial arts, and you can even touch another world. In this way, if you have this ability, it will not be too difficult to realize your desire to become a strong person.
Ding Ruoyu secretly thought to herself, whether she learned witchcraft or not, she needed to redouble her efforts.
Are there any gods and demons in this world?
She didn't know because she had never seen it with her own eyes. However, there are similar records in many ancient books and legends, and in the Xiyan Kingdom, this cruel place of shelter, their Witch Emperor, seems to be such a legendary figure.
Just as he was thinking, Instructor Fang Bin clapped his hands, and several black-clothed adult dead soldiers held two half-human-high wooden boxes on the ground in front of him.
The boxes were heavy, and each of them required at least two able-bodied men to move.
"Here are the blades that everyone will choose for a while, one for each person, carefully picked."
The instructor spoke, and the teenagers immediately lined up in two teams and picked them one by one.
There is a specialization in the art industry.
Ding Ruoyu understood that the instructor meant that once a blade was chosen, it would only be refined in the future, so he asked them to choose carefully.
She leaned over to the large box, searched carefully, and picked out a small, sharp silver dagger in the cold light.
The dagger was very light and thin, and it seemed to be nothing in the palm of its back, and there was a cold cold glow on the blade, which stabbed people's eye membranes and pained slightly, but it could make her blood boil.
After a while, Chen Lan also made a choice, she held a short sword, and couldn't help but excitedly ask Ding Ruoyu if he looked good.
The hilt of the sword is chic and simple, the sword body is delicate and narrow, light and smart, which is very suitable for petite women to practice, Ding Ruoyu couldn't help but nod and praise her for her good vision.
After everyone had picked out the weapons they had in hand, Fang Bin suddenly ordered them to rest on the ground, and it was said that there were high-ranking big figures from the witch sect who were going to receive them.
Before leaving, he also gave the teenagers a serious eye warning, so that after he left for a long time, no one dared to mess around.
After getting their beloved blade, everyone couldn't suppress the excitement in their hearts and played with it.
Ding Ruoyu leaned quietly under the big tree planted in the corner of the site, and the shade of the tree blocked the not too strong sun. She looked at the crowd dancing in the distance and laughed softly. Gently turning his palm against the sky obscured by the leaves, the blurry silver light also flashed with intoxicating colors.
The dagger flew between her fingers, and she felt the rough hand of the cold handle, and when she looked closely, there was an ancient character on it-Li.
What a strange name.
got up and made a few random moves, and the blade broke through the air, and a trace of fire was scraped out.
"Leave ...... Could it be the meaning of gossip and fire? She thought of something and muttered to herself.
From now on, she will live and die with it......
The cold wind blew through the open field, and in the blink of an eye, the harsh winter arrived. After having their own weapons, it was no longer the Fang instructors who taught collectively, but invited three or four black-clothed dead soldiers to distribute the weapon scores, and each of them taught several teenagers individually.
In the following year, everyone has gradually learned to use weapons, and it is time to go out and perform some simple tasks.
Ding Ruoyu flipped through the paper sticks he had drawn, and his expression suddenly became heavy. Her first task was to go to the ghost forest in the southern border city of Yan Kingdom to collect a kind of medicinal Ganoderma lucidum, and the prescribed period was ten days.
This task, if it is in other seasons, it is not a problem, and the ten-day period is not too short, and the scroll that I went to get from the instructor drew a detailed map of the ghost forest, and the appearance of the Lingzhi, however......
After staying in the Dead Soldier Camp of Xiyan Country for so long, it was impossible for her not to know what kind of place this was.
Ghost Linzi borders the Yue Kingdom and is the wettest place in the Yan Country. It is not really a ghost in it, but every autumn and winter, it spreads with miasma, and the fog covers the sky, and the sun is not visible. Even if you have a map, it won't help you at all.
Moreover, the name of the forest does not just come from the fact that it is shrouded in mist. In autumn and winter, if you strayed into the forest, you would hardly be able to get out. All those who enter during this time will be trapped in the house by strange things such as ghosts hitting the wall, forever going around in circles, and after a long time of patience is exhausted, only boundless fear remains, and finally they will be poisoned or starved to death in the forest.
What a bad luck, I actually smoked this mission with a very low chance of survival.
The night was getting cooler, Ding Ruoyu was lying flat on the ground, and there was a package prepared by Sleepless on the pillow. From time to time, teenagers snored in the hut.
She tossed and turned, thinking of going to the ghost forest, and couldn't sleep at all.
The next day, Ding Ruoyu climbed up holding his forehead, which was aching from a night of tossing and turning. She smiled bitterly, how could she complete the task well in such a state?
The package contained plenty of water, utensils and ropes. She picked up her dagger, beat her spirit, and walked out of the main camp gate in a drowsy state after reporting to the instructor.
Looking at the girl's small figure from afar, she resolutely stepped out of the big iron gate, and a gray shadow slowly walked in the direction she left.
The forest is deep and quiet, looking at the dark pressure from afar, and you can't see the depths at all.
The smoke was filled, like a ghost with teeth and claws, and like a corrupt and messy dead air.
Ding Ruoyu took a deep breath, stood on tiptoe and cautiously leaned towards the forest.
The ghost forest, whether it is big or small, is not small, if you don't mark it well, it's easy to get lost.
The forest was quiet, not even a hint of wind. She gritted her teeth and scalped deeper, tying strips of white muslin to the low-hanging branches to make sure she had turned back.
The foliage was so dense that it almost blocked the entire sky. Even at noon, it was gray and visibility was extremely low.
She walked for an unknown amount of time, and gradually felt dry mouth as she followed the winding lines on the map.
The forest is dark and does not see the light of day, thinking that it is the first day of entering the forest, she is not particularly anxious, although she knows that staying here for a while will be more dangerous, but her legs are indeed sore. She found a big tree with thick shade, rubbed on the branch, took out a water bag, drank two sips of water, and looked down with a long sigh of relief.
Under the tree, the eye can only see a few zhang square. The grass was so deep that there was not even the slightest shaking, nor the chirping of birds and insects.
This abnormal stillness is more likely to make people chill from the bottom of their hearts.
A sense of fear hit his brain, Ding Ruoyu hugged the package, his back was close to the trunk of the tree, and he didn't dare to come out.
But nothing happened. The forest is as quiet as a dead sea.
Ding Ruoyu forced the tense body to relax and not scare himself.
After all, she is just a teenage girl, and when she comes to the wild alone, she will be more or less afraid.
When the fear subsided a little and she had almost rested, she crept down the tree, the shadow of the tree shook slightly in the darkness like a ghost, Ding Ruoyu leaned deeper into the forest in the direction of the map, and the fine small shrubs in the low part of the forest unconsciously tore her trouser legs.
After a long time, about half a day, it should be night. Ding Ruoyu hit the fire fold, and where the fire penetrated, a faint white mist surged.
Could the white fog in the jungle be a miasma? She saw the white mist slowly drifting closer, and hurriedly covered her mouth and nose with a wet clothcloth.
You have to find a place to hide, otherwise you will be poisoned if you crash into the miasma so rashly. She saw the white air coming to the ground, and hurried to the top of the tree.
The white mist swirled, and it didn't disperse, and Ding Ruoyu didn't dare to move while holding the branches. The fire fold in his hand shimmered, and the dark yellow light gradually dimmed. But if there was no fire, she couldn't see anything, and now she couldn't move for the time being, so she blew out the fire fold, planning to use it again when the white mist drifted away for a while.
It was pitch black in front of me. She waited for a while, lit a fire, and wanted to see if the white mist had dissipated, but to her surprise, it was still pitch black in front of her. Is the fire not lit in the dark? She reached out and touched the fire fold, and a sharp burning stab made her quickly retract her hand. Since the fire is burning...... It's me who suddenly lost my sight!
Ding Ruoyu hung on the branch in a daze, in this dangerous situation, she was actually blind! What the hell is going on? She couldn't figure it out, so she took advantage of the situation and extinguished the fire. Since you can't see anything, it's useless to ask for fire folds.
She's not a very adaptable person. After entering the camp of the dead, he learned to face some unexpected situations. Don't think about it if you don't understand it, that will only be a waste of time and opportunity.
The slightly swaying branches and leaves gently hit her face, and her hearing became more sensitive in the darkness, and she heard a very small rustle around her, as if something was slowly approaching.
It was very light, but she heard it.
Her instinct immediately alerted her, her right hand into her bosom, and when she pulled it out, she held a small, sharp dagger tightly.
The rustle is getting closer. The cold light flickered, and the girl in the tree immediately moved. The tip of the cold blade pierced into a hard object, and a strong wind hit in an instant!
She hurriedly dodged by, and the branches and leaves behind her were swept away in large pieces. A sharp broken branch cut through her arm, and her foot staggered to a thick branch that stretched out, and it didn't take long for her to fall.
She couldn't see anything, and she could only tell the situation with her ears. There was a hissing sound in the darkness, like the low roar of a wild beast before attacking its prey. Here it comes! The slender figure suddenly bounced up and retreated, and as soon as she tilted her head, a strong fishy stench brushed the tip of her nose quickly.
It's dangerous! Enduring the gradually intense headache, Ding Ruoyu understood that the thing he had just rubbed was highly poisonous. But she couldn't relax at this moment, if she hadn't hit it before, the thing would come back at any moment.
Ding Ruoyu's feet hooked the branch that was about to break and hung upside down in the air, and there was a deadly killing machine hidden in the silence. In the forest, it seems that the previous tranquility has returned, so quiet that you can't catch a trace of the wind.
It's time.
At the moment when the branch broke, the upside-down body suddenly curled up, crumbled apart, and flew into the depths of the night like an arrow off the string!
With a "poof", the sharp dagger slashed at something, and a packet of cold, fishy liquid sprayed at her, and she hurriedly turned her head sideways to avoid it.
"It's too chaotic...... a low cry came from not far away, and Ding Ruoyu, who smelled the venom, could no longer stay awake at this time, and fell into a deep coma.
Another gray-clothed man came out of the dense bushes, stabbed to death several other spotted poisonous snakes that jumped forward with his sword, and dragged the unconscious Ding Ruoyu into a cleared grass with a strange footwork.
