After lunch, the troops set off. Eren mounted his war horse and felt something. Looking up at the upper floors of the hotel, he smiled and waved at the figure standing by the window. Then there was a gesture and the team set off.

Lucy, who was standing by the window, sighed softly, knowing that Eren was trying to protect herself. But at the end of the day, Eren was still worried that she wasn't strong enough to handle the situation in the Howling Forest. After all, she was still at her original level, and Regis and Adele were far ahead of her. Lucy looked at herself in the mirror and shook her head and smiled bitterly, when did she become Alan's burden.

Silently observing the source power in the body, the secret method of condensation inherited from his father Ofascist is now only condensing one-third of the source power into a liquid state. There is still a long time before condensing all the source forces and liberating the broken force lock to soar into the sky. If it weren't for the fact that Allen's journey to the north was still over, Lucy would really want to unlock the breaking force lock like this and let the source force rush to level twenty. At least become the Awakened, and she won't become a burden to Allen.

She tried her best to resist the urge to unlock, the journey was not over yet, and who could tell if there would be more dangerous enemies along the way. Lucy is well aware that now is not a good time to unlock, and she needs to be patient.

"It's just that this feeling is very uncomfortable." She muttered.

There was a knock on the door, and Guna walked in and brought a drink: "This is made with sour plums, which can be appetizing and refreshing." ”

Lucy laughed, "You're just in time, I need something like this." She took her bosom and drank it all.

The procession departed from the hotel, led by a soldier from the Bear Armor Army, and skirted the edge of the city, and gradually a cemetery appeared in Alan's sight. It was the Great Necropolis of Motheor, and the sloping cemetery was lined with tombstones that stretched upwards one after another. Looking at it, there are thousands of stone tablets in the cemetery. The procession walked along the road past the cemetery, whose black iron fence was covered with dark green vines and the gate was locked. Behind the door, several grave keepers silently watched the passing procession, without any expression, as if they were walking corpses.

This eerie cemetery covers an extremely large area, and it took a lot of time for the team to get around the cemetery completely.

Behind the cemetery was the western gate of Motheor, and the defenders at the gate had already received the news, and were not surprised by the arrival of this team. The procession stopped at the gate, the defenders opened the gate, and the soldier who led the group said to Allen, "My lord, I can only take you here." Head out of the gate and head west, and it won't be long before you see the edge of the Howling Forest. The Lake of the Dreaded Empress is deep in the forest, and I'm afraid you'll not see it until noon the next day. Be careful, the danger to the Howling Forest comes not only from the Dreadem, but also from other creatures at its disposal. ”

Alan nodded, and the gates opened. He raised his hand and clamped the horse's belly first. The horses neighed and rushed out. Behind him, Lola and the five dragon knights lined up, followed by more warriors. The team quickly drove out of the city gates and galloped across a drab plain. Sure enough, as the soldier had said, it didn't take long for Alan to see a forest treeline.

It was the edge of the Howling Forest.

The treeline of the Howling Forest is narrow and wide, gradually spreading to the west. The forest is located in the middle of two mountain ranges, and is filled with ancient trees with lush foliage, and these ancient trees have dull foliage. From a distance, the Howling Forest has an oppressive atmosphere.

The team crossed the plains and entered the forest, as if they had entered another world. Alan looked around, the sunlight in the forest was dim, and only large small flecks of light fell to the ground through the gaps in the leaves. There are no roads in the forest, but fortunately the ground is fairly flat. The team was able to advance quickly even if it spread out a little, but after half an hour, the terrain became more and more complicated. Those undulating natural rocks, as well as the ubiquitous shrubs, make it difficult for horses to get through. In addition, the spacing between trees is also shrinking, which makes the space for walking through the forest limited.

Alan had no choice but to order the team to stop, and found a relatively open place to place the horses, leaving two warriors to look after the horses, while the others followed him into the forest on foot.

Along the way, you will occasionally see some fallen wooden houses, buried by shrubs, or connected to an old tree. Alan even picked up a battle flag of the Bear Armor Army, it seems that the Bear Armor Army had built some outposts and other buildings in the forest, but it seems that this measure was not successful, so I don't know what caused it.

A kilometer or so deeper, there is no trace of human activity in sight. The forest became more and more eeriely quiet, Alan could hardly even see birds and animals, and the whole forest seemed to be hostile to creatures. In the hollows of the dead trees, behind the shadows of the mossy rocks, and in the dense bushes, there was a chilling smell.

In the evening, Alan found a low slope to serve as a makeshift camp, which was rarely unoccupied by ancient trees, and several half-man-high bushes were quickly uprooted by the warrior's blades. Alan ordered the camp to rest, and soon several large fires were erected and bonfires were lit, and after allocating the men to watch the night, Alan sat down to rest. Lola walked over and took out the bacon wrapped in banana leaves from her rucksack and the leather bag with water, which was the team's dinner tonight.

After taking a few sips of water from the leather bag, Alan handed it to Lola. As he ate the bacon, a shrill whistling sound from the depths of the forest sounded from something else, which was probably the name of the Howling Forest.

Lola's race has lived in forests and mountains for many years, and even though the Howling Forest is far away on another planet, there is not much difference in terms of environment. Therefore, in the forest, Lola has a feeling of being at home. Entering her familiar environment, Lola's senses were naturally sharper than others, and she lowered her voice after taking a few sips of water and said, "Be careful at night, I have already found some traces of biological activity in the afternoon." It shows that there are not no living creatures in the forest, but we don't even see a ghost. I think the creatures are deliberately avoiding us, and maybe the night is the right time for them. ”

Alan nodded, and Lola said, "You can rest first, and I'll be in charge of the first half of the night." ”

Now there are only two powerhouses in the team, Alan and Lola, who are more than level 20, and the two naturally have to take turns to keep vigil. In such a dangerous place, leaving the safety of the camp to the warriors or Nellie and a few dragon knights, Alan was really a little worried. He did not object to Lola's proposal, and after eating the bacon in three or two bites, he had to find a place to rest. Lola smiled and pulled him to her lap, "Just rest here." She said.

Alan's face pressed against Lola's smooth thighs, breathing in the faint aroma of plants and trees on her body, and smiling bitterly in her heart, how can she rest like this.
