When the three of them approached the exit to the east of Yueyin Village, Zero Pair of Void Silence and Dori explained: "If you want to enter the Sleeping Forest, you have to show the corresponding task sheet, and the two guards on the edge of the teleportation point will let them go." Moreover, only this one teleportation totem and the teleportation totem that leads to the heavenly vine where the guardian prophet Kraya is located need to cast the corresponding teleportation spell to get there, and the others will be automatically transported as long as they stand on the totem. Anyway, I don't have a task, you go ahead and show it, get the pass, and I'll follow. ”

Sure enough, there were two guards standing on both sides of the teleportation totem at the entrance of the village on this side, and as soon as they saw the three of them approaching, they asked loudly: "Are you going to the Sleeping Forest?" ――Why did you go? ”

"Yes, we're on our way to find an antidote for the Chieftain, and we're trying to complete the mission of the Guardian Prophet Kreja to rid the Hypnotate host." As he spoke, he unfolded the two scrolls of task paper that he had already prepared in his hand.

The two guards came up and glanced at the mission, then looked up at Dori and Zero, who were standing behind Silence, and asked, "Are you together?" ”

"Yes, in groups of three, advance and retreat together." Answer in silence.

The two guards glanced at each other, then retreated to either side of the violet-lit totem, gesturing to them to step into the aperture.

Before casting the teleportation spell, the guard standing on the right side made a final persuasion: "The Forest of Sleep is the most dangerous area around Moon Hidden Village, it is full of poisonous gas, unknown monsters are roaming everywhere, many adventurers have gone and never returned, don't try it lightly without all preparations-this is the most sincere and kind reminder as a compatriot." ”

Hearing this, the mentally prepared Void Mo just smiled lightly and replied loudly: "We are ready!" ”

The two guards then spread their palms and assumed a posture as if they were holding something, and muttered a series of humming incantations in their mouths, and the purple light became more and more blazing, and in a few seconds, as the light faded, they had appeared in a forest in the mist.

I have begun to get used to the silence that comes and goes in various spaces for two seconds to get used to the feeling of landing in this space, the grass under my feet is soft and wet, but what I see when I look down is a withered yellow color. His feet were indeed in place, but he had the illusion that the teleportation was not in place, because his vision seemed to be obstructed, and the smell of rotten plants was faint in the air in his nose...... When he raised his head, he was startled by the dense fog world in front of him with a slight yellow, because in terms of the concentration of this fog, it can be said that he can't see his fingers from a meter away, and when he encounters a monster in this environment, he can really only be attacked by sneak attacks.

Just as Void was about to ask the two companions about the direction and opinions of their travel, Zero, who was standing behind him, suddenly walked up to him and Dori, silently reciting an incomprehensible incantation and waving his hand, and all three of them were covered with a pale white halo.

"This thick fog is one of the reasons to come to this sleeping forest at level 20." Seeing Void Mo looking at the aperture on each other's bodies blankly, Zero explained, "Because, when most professions reach level 20, they will learn one or two protective skills, such as the Holy Protection of the Paladin, the Protector of the Mage, the Guardian of the Priest's Truth Shield, the Warlock's Plague Immunity Witchcraft, including the Assassin's Shadow Escape and the Spatial Immunity Function, etc., these skills can effectively isolate harmful environments, such as the dense fog of this sleeping forest - if you don't have protection to walk in it, you will be poisoned in a short time, and thus enter a state of sleep, Eventually, it becomes the bait of monsters. ”

"I know, last time I was poisoned by fog. Later, after escaping, I searched for a long time to buy an antidote from the alchemist's hidden pharmacy and get rid of my lethargy. Dori exhaled, "It's great that you can shield us...... Are you a senior pastor? Or a mage? ……”

Zero just smiled and didn't answer, turned around and explained: "Let's go, follow me." ”

At this moment, Void Silence and Dori, who had become more and more convinced of Zero's ability, glanced at each other, nodded, and followed the flowing white back of the leader, walking briskly towards the front.

After a short time on their way, the three of them heard a rustling sound all around them—not the rustle of leaves blown by the wind, but the grinding of many feet on the grass, the grinding of teeth like those of herbivores as they chew, and the growing smell of corruption......

Silent and Dori immediately drew their weapons, gathered together, and quickly entered a state of readiness, but Zero continued to walk leisurely without care.

"Hey, hey! - Zero! It seems that the monster is not far away! Dori couldn't help but loudly remind the leader who was walking ahead and was in a hurry.

"Don't worry, it's just little things that don't matter." Zero still didn't mean to stop, but once again reminded the two little henchmen who were nervously looking around behind him, "Remember to follow me." ”

As he spoke, Void Mo glanced behind him, and in an area where the fog was thinning close to the ground, he seemed to see many spider-like legs appearing, and finally couldn't help but reach out and grab Zero's sleeve, and said, "Monster! - Zero, the monster is right behind us! ”

"Really? Where is it? Zero glanced back slightly, and Silent complied with the fact that the faint spider legs were gone......

"Strange ......," muttered Void. [I saw a monster that was not far away just now, could it be...... And they just retreated? ――Could it be that the rustling sound and the dangerous smell are just illusions? Silence was a little confused.

"It's really not right...... not only did Void Mo not figure it out, but Dori on the side also fell into a mental blockage, she lowered her voice and said to Void Silence, "It was really not like this when I came in last time...... I didn't have to walk a few steps before I came across a spider covered in moss, which was very difficult to fight...... He was almost trapped here by the cobwebs he spit out, and it was only after he easily crawled back to the protective circle area of the teleportation wheel. However, how did you go so long this time and not even touch a monster? ……”

"Could it be that the difficulty of this map has been adjusted by the system?" Silence leaned back into Dory's ear, uttering an idea that even he thought was stupid......

"Is there really a system error in this game? …… Right? - No, I'm going to take a look around. Dori whispered her thoughts, and before she could stop her, she was up to the action, running a few steps to her right.

Noticing Dori's deviation from formation, the Spirit Fox boy suddenly stopped, and the void that walked behind him almost hit his back, and he clearly felt a deep sigh from him.

"Do you want to save it?" I don't know if Zero's question is for himself or for the silent listening.

At that moment, Dori's screams rang out—"Ah! Yes!! - Help!! ――”

"Save! Must be saved! Please! Silence immediately grabbed Zero's arm and pleaded.

Zero exhaled a little, and said in a tone of impatience, "Originally, I just wanted to keep one...... Hey, forget it, idle is idle anyway. ”

As he spoke, he turned sideways in the direction of Dori's scream, glanced at Void Silence, and gave the same reminder for the third time: "Remember to follow me." ”

While nodding silently, the white-clothed spirit fox rushed into the mist with a single arrow step......

Zero disappeared from sight with such lightning speed, which made Void Mo, who had never seen much of the world, stunned for two seconds. When he reacted, there was a cacophony on his right, and at the same time, he felt the rustling around him getting closer and closer, the aura of danger getting stronger and stronger, and the intuition of the void echoed in his mind with a reminder of Zero over and over again - [Remember to follow me.] He did not hesitate any longer, and ran towards the right side of the road.

After running a few steps, Silent suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground. When he looked back, he saw that his right foot was bound by a sticky white net-like object, and pulling hard had little effect. What made Void Mo even more frightened was that at this moment, the huge spider-like monster that Dorry had just described appeared in sight......

The monster crawled rapidly on a dozen long legs, about one man tall and two wide, and the strange head on top of the long legs was covered with filthy hair and four green eyes, all black and covered with dark green moss. At this moment, it was raising its two front legs to thrust into the chest of the void.

In a panic, Silence raised the wooden-handled iron sword in his hand and swung it at the spider's tentative legs, and at the same time took the opportunity to slash the cobwebs that bound his right leg - one after another, five or six times before he could untie the cobwebs on his right foot. He rolled over, dodging the spider's leg and foot stabs, then crawled to his feet, concentrating and preparing to use his combat skills to take on the apparently powerful monster.

After only two seconds of confrontation with the monster, the spider couldn't help but rush straight over, silently put on a posture, and shouted "Forward!" - Swinging the sword at the spider's head - Unfortunately, before the sword could touch it, it was shot in the chest by the spider's long legs, and to make matters worse, a spider web spat out of the monster's mouth, this time it hit the body, and the void was caught on the ground, unable to move for a while, and the situation seemed to be slaughtered by others......

Watching the ugly spider swaying back and forth proudly in front of him several times, the mood of self-loathing arose, I didn't expect that the first sacrifice in this game would be left to such an ugly monster, it was really sad and pitiful...... The spider finally ended the amusement demonstration, and one jumped up and pounced on him, while Void closed his eyes, ready for the first baptism of death after entering the Brave Continent.
