Chapter 67: A Day in the Forest
Originally, it was planned to divide the troops into two routes, but soon, there was a response from the people heading to the direction of the new century capital. Although the radio could not reach the outside world, Xia Yue's group, who was relatively close, could talk to each other in this short distance.
A total of 17 people who planned to fly in the direction of the new century capital encountered a barrier, a pitch-black barrier. It was darker than the night sky, more chaotic, and more inconsequential.
The translucent oval space was confirmed by the two mechs through the air, and it was only at the edge of the space that they suddenly realized something.
The answer to why the radio waves could not be transmitted to the outside world before, is this huge oval black cauldron. And the seventeen people here, as well as Xia Yue's group who were advancing deeper, were all trapped inside this oval black cauldron.
"Now we are in this black space, and we can't escape."
"Why do you think so?" Xia Yue asked
At the moment, the two sides are on the phone.
"Commander, if you can see what is happening in front of us, you will understand it right away."
"That's the situation."
"The withered trees, the scorched stones, the cracked earth, those that make us stop, and what makes us more sure is a bird that flies by, the creature turns black the moment it touches the black space, and falls $1$Ben$Read$Novel(.( yb)(d)(u).) down. It was very similar to the result of our members being attacked by the blue-faced fanged monster. β
As the content of the phone said, on the 16th, the member who was talking to Xia Yue at this moment, what appeared in front of her was rows of lifeless dead trees and dead grass and dry earth. Although the coverage area is not very large, it just covers this space.
That is, including Xia Yue and others, all thirty people were trapped.
"I see, now that it's like this, you can come back right away."
"Okay."
"Our location is next to a cave in the southwest, and we are going to spend the night here tonight."
"Understood, we'll be right over."
"Well, be careful not to be discovered by the monsters on the road."
At this point, the voice was interrupted, and the group of people who were at the border of the black enchantment turned around and moved at full speed in the direction where Xia Yue and the others were.
After Xia Yue's call ended, the members on the side also began to wonder, and one of them said, "What the hell is wrong, why are they coming back?" β
"Look, the shadows under the sky, there are no dead ends." Xia Yue looked at the sky and said
"It wasn't so obvious before, but now the black mist is getting thicker, and I'm afraid we won't be able to cross that barrier." I said
"How could it be, such a big and wide jungle, there must be some exit."
"It's better not to have such naΓ―ve thoughts, if you deliberately leave an exit, there is no need to arrange such a huge barrier, and even if there is, it is probably a trap."
"Indeed, we were surrounded, and the entire mountain range around here was obscured by a huge black circle. I'm afraid of the power of the enemy's leader. At this moment, Negera couldn't help but climb onto Xia Zilan's shoulder and said
"Is that really the case, and why are you so sure?"
"I am the lord of the forest, and I understand the affairs of the forest to some extent, and in this situation, not only is it difficult for us to escape, but even it is difficult for rescue to come in."
"What are you talking about, it's just a squirrel." One member said
"Alright, calm down, Negera, the source of the forest is somewhere in this mountain range, right?" Xia Yue asked
"Exactly, work hard, and it will take you two to three days to get there."
"Yes, that's good, our goal is ahead, the back road is broken, so it's good to move forward."
"That's right." Xia Zilan nodded in praise
"Spend tonight in this cave, you are ready to spend the night, and also prepare for the seventeen people who will come, and leave early tomorrow morning." Xia Yue said as she walked towards the cave.
Guan Ling and I entered the cave and started to set up tents, Xia Zilan and Xu Qing did the same, many of the other members were also quite calm, and Qin Liang was in charge of calculating the food.
"Now we're cornered." Natsuki Road, sitting on the rocks on the side
"Yes, but we have nothing to fear if we can advance and retreat with Lord Xia Yue."
"Yes, me too!"
Several people on the side expressed their trust in Xia Yue.
"And us." Xia Zilan pulled me and Xu Qing forward and said
"yes, that's a thank you guys for your support." Xia Yue couldn't help but smile
Soon after, seventeen men on the other side came down to the cave under the escort of the mech. At this time, it was time for everyone to start eating.
"Commander, we're back safely."
One of the leaders jumped down from the mecha and came to the front of Xia Yue
"Are you all right?"
"Yes, I didn't encounter many magical beasts along the way, but it went smoothly."
"And what about the eleven?"
"It's not a big problem for now."
"Send them to the barracks at once."
"Yes!"
Then another wave of problems began to be resolved.
In terms of food, it is enough to last for about two days.
As night fell, our preparations were all done. Next, Xia Zilan and Xu Qing took care of the injured eleven people again. They had some treatment, and the results seemed to have eased their pain a lot. But it can't be completely cured yet, and I'm afraid that kind of spiritual pollution will take some time to recover slowly.
Late at night, Qin Liang and I were in charge of guarding, and Guan Ling was inside with Xia Zilan and Xu Qing.
"It's okay, Xingze, you haven't eaten, and you're in charge of guarding with me, why don't you go and rest for a while?"
"Isn't this the same as you, I don't have a problem." I responded
"Yes."
In the middle of the night, everyone fell asleep because of the fatigue of the day, and all that was left was the silent night and the insects chirping from time to time.
After a while, there was a loud bang, and a heavy rain fell on the jungle. Even though it's not autumn or winter, there's still a chill here.
"Maybe I was mistaken, maybe I'll be able to reach the source of the forest tomorrow." At this time, the white squirrel came to the side of the two and said
"Tomorrow, don't worry about the food problem."
"Don't worry about it from the beginning, it's a forest." Negera responded
"If Xingze needs to supplement nutrition, there is still something to eat here."
"No, I'm in fine condition right now."
"Qin Liang, you are really stupid, why don't you distribute all the food to the inhabitants of the forest?"
ββ¦ yes, I see. β
Qin Liang said, and really walked towards the jungle, carrying a bag of food. The white squirrel walked with him towards the forest, walked a short distance, and came to a halt in a place surrounded by wood.
"In the past, my father said that food should not be monopolized, it should be shared with more people, and since coming to this jungle, it is only one of us that is extracting resources."
Qin Liang said, and mercifully spilled all the food he would share in the future into crumbs.
"Despite the erosion of the rain, it's okay, your food is indeed distributed to the inhabitants of this forest, and it is all turned into beautiful nectar, and there is no waste."
Negera immediately made a wonderful sound, chanting, although I couldn't understand it, but it was really beautiful, after a long while, Negera and Qin Liang went back in the direction of the cave, and the chirping of the residents could be heard around from time to time.
