Chapter 7, The Forest of Silence
When the giant's soul returned to his hometown, everyone didn't sigh for a long time, but the clown said twice, which made the giant's corpse even more sad......
No one stayed, they were equally in a hurry. Seventeen people immediately came to the teleportation array and strolled in in an orderly manner. The sharp contrast between everyone's vigorous backs and the gunsmoke behind them cast a bleak aura on this so-called nine-story demon tower.
A few flashes of white light flashed, and everyone appeared in a dense forest. There is nothing to describe in this forest, because ...... In addition to trees, it is still trees.
Due to the dense growth of the trees, the sunlight in this forest is extremely dim, so to speak, it is impossible to tell whether it is day or black. But unlike the usual jungle, it's too quiet.
In ordinary forests, no matter what time of year, there will always be some sounds, but here, everyone feels that the sound seems to be blocked. There were no birds, no cicadas, not even the wind. Generally, this kind of place is either a paradise or an abyss hell.
"Hey! Don't you notice that this forest is a little strangely quiet? The clown shouted.
Of course, although everyone also felt it, what they thought in their hearts was: The weirdest thing here is how you are!
Of course, apart from giving him a roll of the eyes, everyone didn't have any tricks to cure him. Although trialists can also attack each other during trials, there is generally no one who has nothing to do to beat their own people. If there is, it will be a clown......
It seems that due to the environment, everyone began to be silent, only the clown was okay, and he made a noise, which made this already weird forest even more mysterious.
The night didn't care, what he was thinking about was how to get out of this forest quickly, because he had contributed a lot in the previous battle, and his physical strength was almost at the bottom.
The horse seems to have known about this situation for a long time, and in order not to lose several important combat power, the two captains of the night and the rat unanimously decided: stop and rest.
But the clown did not appreciate it, and while he said in a mocking tone that everyone was not physically strong, he decided to take the first step himself, and said that he would explore the way for everyone.
Where will others care about this goods, so I said to be careful in the night, but in exchange for just hehe......
The night didn't rest for long, but at this time, the clown still didn't come back. Out of the main force of humanity, the crowd left obvious marks on the surrounding trees before continuing to walk.
It didn't take long to walk in this dense forest and the pressure of the environment began. Due to the influence of the surrounding atmosphere, the sense of depression of the crowd increased sharply. The side effect is that their stamina drops faster.
"Our stamina is dropping a little fast." Dark Night opened his watch to check his stats, and then continued, "The forest is too depressing, and in this state, our stamina consumption will increase. Let's rest a little longer, rat. As he spoke, the night cut a knife mark on a large tree beside him. Everyone knows that this is a mark for the clown.
They walked on and off for more than three hours with the time records on their watches. But not only did they not find the clown, they didn't even see a bird.
Some members of the team flew into the sky to observe the environment, but they quickly realized that this did not make any difference. Because all they see is a tree...... Boundless Tree ......
Hearing the news, the mood of the crowd was even worse. Although the flow of time in the trial is different from that in the real world, the time in the body will still be the time in the trial. So, psychologically and spiritually, they are already very tired.
After an unknown amount of time, they were shocked to find that they had returned to square one. Because they walked to the original teleportation array again, and the traces of their movement on the ground were still there.
"No, there's no smell we left behind here." The dog's face was a little gloomy, and he lowered his head to examine it before he came to his conclusion.
Just as they stopped to rest, the clown suddenly appeared behind the group, still with that eerie smile on his face.
The rat hurried up to ask about the clown. Unbeknownst to him, the clown suddenly took out a knife from his bag and slammed it into the mouse.
The rat's pupils shrank, the knife was too fast. The blade glowed cold, and stabbed straight into the rat's neck. There was a hint of hideousness on the clown's face. He opened his mouth and threw himself forward in a posture, exerting all his strength, wanting to kill with one blow.
At this moment, the rat was already shocked to the extreme. However, at such a critical moment, he actually stimulated his potential, and his nervous reaction speed reached a new high.
The rat lifted his right hand upwards and grasped the dagger stabbed by the clown with his entire right hand. In an instant, the blood light appeared. A long, narrow cut was made in the rat's entire right hand, and blood flowed down the knife. But after being blocked by this hand, the speed of the dagger also slowed down. The rat quickly turned its head and grazed the dagger around its neck.
The dark night has been staring at the clown, and when he saw this scene, he teleported behind the clown with a [praying mantis cicada], and shaved off the clown's neck.
The knife of the night has been hit. This was incredible, and the next second, the clown's head rolled to the ground with a grunt, but no blood came out of the wound, just some brown syrup.
"It's not a clown, it's just a stand-in." Ma is still calm, although he is not as fast as Rat and Junye, his thinking ability is still very fast.
"It can't go on like this, there is no end to this wood, if there are a few more attacks like this, we may start to attrition, we have to start ......"
"This is a formation, naturally there is no end, hehehe......"
Everyone was shocked, and turned their heads to see that the clown had been standing behind them for a long time.
"How did you do that?" It was the dog who asked the question. He's the scout in this team, and he's the one who just got out on guard. But out of confidence in his sense of smell, he did not look with his eyes like a normal sentry, but sniffed the scent behind him with his nose. At this time, the clown appeared at a distance that he could have sensed or smelled for a long time, but for some reason, he didn't realize it.
"This forest can hinder the senses, and besides, this puppet you just won is not the only one, all right, all right, don't look at me with that kind of look. I'm not a puppet. So saying, the clown twisted his head off and put it back on......
"Anyway, I just played a puppet, and the copy is tomorrow's ......" Speaking of this, the clown paused, his voice stopped abruptly, and turned to the sky in deep thought.
Everyone stared at him for a long time before he continued: "I thought of an immature little way, but it should be able to break the formation, at least...... It should be possible to force out the owner here......
A minute later, at the Joker's behalf, the crowd began to light incendiary bombs. That's right, the clown said just five words, "point the forest".
So, everyone has the attitude that they won't get pregnant if they try...... Ordered the woods......
Unexpectedly, the forest was unusually good, and the trees were on fire. It didn't take much effort for everyone to burn the fire to the level of a forest fire.
And this group of trialists could not let a fire burn to death. The fire burned, and everyone gradually discovered the strangeness.
Because some trees don't burn when they are set on fire, while others don't burn at all. The crowd meandered along the ashes left behind by the lit trees until there was no more tree to burn.
In front of them was a towering tree, at least 100 meters high, and its roots had grown to the ground, and it looked like a forest......
Looking at the towering tree in front of them, everyone looked at each other and smiled, looking like they were driven crazy, and they picked up the torch in their hands and was about to go up to light it.
"Enough!" A majestic female voice rang out, stopping everyone's next move to burn the tree.
Immediately after that, everyone saw that a hole was suddenly opened in the middle of the tree, and a beautiful woman came out of it.
Her beauty seems to be as unreal as if it does not exist in the world. She is like a heroine in a **, with an extremely beautiful face. So, after staring at her for two seconds, everyone agreed: she is fake!
"Why are you bothering me!?" Again, the same short, powerful, yet dignified words seemed to question everyone.
If it were an ordinary person, she might have knelt under her pomegranate skirt and begged for forgiveness. But fortunately, the night and the others are not such casual people, so their decision is......
"We're here to cut you!" As he spoke, the Night Trail jumped up, and slashed at the other party with a knife in his right hand.
However, the woman was not panicked at all, and there was even a playful smile on the corner of her mouth. In the next second, the night flew out upside down, but the woman still stood in place as if she hadn't made a move.
"In that case...... said the woman, with a sinister smile, "you will die here!" After saying this, the woman laughed out loud as if she couldn't help it. However, everyone only thought it was a little strange, and they didn't think there was anything unusual about this boss. Just take out all their weapons, and in the face of this great enemy, they can't keep their hands.
