Chapter 016: The Haunted Forest

At the foot of the mountain, on the back of the mountain.

The shape of the grove is very strange, like an elongated balloon, and it is summer, but the woods here are not too green, giving it a gray feeling.

Outside the woods, there is a rushing river, and ordinary people will think that the neighborhood is a good place to live when they see it, and a certain group of people will think that it is a good place to see it, but it is good that they can destroy the traces afterwards.

At the entrance of the woods, there is an ancient tall wooden door, not a door in the current sense, but supported by ancient towering trees on both sides, and a huge wooden plaque seven meters wide has been engraved with the wind and rain of the years, and a star-shaped rune can be faintly distinguished.

The ancient giant tree seemed to have an immortal soul will, although it had been eroded by the wind, frost, rain and dew and was covered with holes, but it stubbornly did not fall, and no moth dared to approach this ancient wooden door within three meters.

At the door, there were four people in the same uniform, smoking cigarettes from each other, and in the boring conversation of daily life, there was not a single professional sentry level.

If anyone really thinks so, and attacks rashly, then the gopher pits that lie in ambush beneath the ground around them will give them the perfect trap lesson.

"Alas, I really don't know how many missions I have to go through before I can be promoted to a small boss, every mission is a few of us who are sentry, and when we meet the group of people from the Alliance and the mechanical armor, we are the first to be unlucky, Tom left like this last month, you must know that he still owes me three thousand alliance coins."

"Yes, it's better to run into the Alliance, at most it's in prison; If you run into the steel monsters of mechanical armor composed of mad scientists, I'm afraid you'll be caught and used as real material. ”

"Really, it's our turn to sentry again this time, don't talk about such a terrible thing!"

"Don't complain, if you let the boss know, I'm afraid we will be on guard again next time."

In the end, the usual nonsense topic was ended by a middle-aged man who was obviously more authoritative among the crowd, and only his gaze would inadvertently leak vigilance, looking around at an unexpected wind and grass.

At this time, a group of people also dived into the creek with other intentions, three of them were born in an offshore town, and the other three were reincarnators, and the water nature could at least swim quietly in the water for a period of time.

"Ding! Reincarnation Number 201886458, Reincarnation Number ......, Reincarnation Number ......, Reincarnation Number ......, Reincarnation Number ......, Samsara Number ......, you triggered the hidden quest - a sneaky conspiracy?

……

In the depths of this seemingly ordinary, but mysterious forest, a full eighteen people pumped into it, but it was like a drop of water blending into the sea, without the slightest sense of zài.

"It's really evil, it's actually a spatial illusion!"

"This means we've found the right place, the entrance to the Cellar of Change must be found before dark!"

"The silver ghost is right, this time we have brought a full fifteen members of the ghost department, if we are surrounded by the elf alliance that has already received the news, then our ghost department will be greatly injured all of a sudden."

Three of them spoke, apparently of the rank of leader, while the other fifteen were all holding a strange disc that seemed to point to a needle, and looked up in silence as they walked, as if they were stumbling into flies.

The characteristics of these people are obvious, each member wears a mask on his face, and the fifteen of them are all uniform white masks, and the three leaders are gold, silver, and red masks.

"Golden ghost, there are a few small bugs outside, do you want to send someone to solve them?"

Suddenly, a red ghost wearing a red mask and having the same short fiery red hair, but with a cold and delicate voice, like a poisonous snake, spoke.

"What level?"

The golden ghost wearing a golden mask asked indifferently, judging by his burly body and demeanor, it was enough to judge that he was a mature middle-aged man.

"Rookie trainers, but two of them are close to the level of elite trainers, and they are about to comprehend their fighting spirit." There was a hint of hesitation in the red ghost's voice, because in her mental power scan, there was a very weak, but very strange energy, which obviously had traces of comprehending the soul of battle, but its strength was as weak as that of an ordinary trainer.

"The four watchdogs outside are all at the level of ordinary trainers, it's enough, let's join the search too, it's still too slow to rely on just fifteen of them." The golden ghost said categorically.

"Yes."

The movement in the forest vanished, and the eerie silence was restored again.

"Fire Chicken, Spark Attack!"

"Water Leaping Fish, Water Gun!"

"Kimori Palace...... Well, protect both of them. ”

In the wooden gate outside the forest, everyone who wanted to secretly cross the river and raid the battle, but they unexpectedly received a reminder from Zhong Xia, and quickly changed the combat plan to a long-range strong attack, and did not dare to approach the vicinity of the wooden gate for the time being.

At this moment, dozens of meters away from the wooden gate, the fire chickens and water leaping fish with long-range attack methods have all their strength, and the two wooden guards are acting as guards, and at this time Kidd also released his other elf - the guiding sheep!

As a unique elf in the Carlos region, although the Guiding Sheep has good combat power, but the combat awareness is poor and tame, no wonder Kidd rarely takes it out.

And ten minutes ago, everyone who was still in the small river, gesturing to each other, and was about to surface, was startled by Zhong Xia's reminder.

"The third told me that there are cave traps near those people, and I think it's best to use ranged attacks to attract their attention first, and I'll let it destroy those traps."

This elf, which originally belonged to Zhong Xia's father, would accompany Zhong Xia and protect his safety until he arrived at the first town with an official gym at the request of its true owner.

What I didn't expect was that it had been hiding on the ground today, and was ordered by Zhong Xia to secretly protect the wood, but at this moment, it accidentally found a hole trap, and the ground that couldn't see the abnormality made him secretly frightened, so he didn't care about hiding himself, and vaguely became the core of the entire small team again.

Kidd and the others were fighting hard together, while Zhong Xia observed for a while, and without even sending out the elves, he was ready to leave here directly and quietly.

Facing the puzzled gazes of several temporary companions, Zhong Xia just pointed to Icarus who was left behind by him, with her, ordinary trainers would not be able to deal with this team.

Xia Yao, who has always been very, very low-key, has amazing strength, which Xian Xue understands best.

Zhong Xia has never been the kind of natural leader, in fact, he prefers to be a lone ranger, of course, if he can take Xia Yao to travel to various continents to experience, then the journey will certainly be more wonderful.

So Zhong Xia chose to let Kidd's group of people drag these guards to the trainers, and he himself was confident enough to not let those people find out their tracks, but he still carefully dug a tunnel through the three gophers and quietly dived into the forest.

"There is a night of mental power scanning, you can run quickly before the danger comes, although I know that the people inside must be more powerful, but now that the tasks have been released, even if you don't figure it out thoroughly, at least you have to see what they are doing."

It is said that curiosity kills cats, Zhong Xia feels that it makes sense, such a secret operation is in front of him, and he has enough strength to escape and warn, which really makes him can't help but take a risk.

In a short time, somewhere in the forest, a bush of branches with dense foliage emerged!

The obviously broken branch rose and was quickly thrown away, and a white figure quickly rolled to the side.

It was Zhong Xia who walked cautiously in the forest, and when he saw that he was using a branch as a test and found nothing unusual, he showed his figure with confidence, and at the same time let Zi Ye start to scout the surroundings.

"Zhong Xia, there is no one around 100 meters safe!"

"Night, put the distance away!"

"Start scanning."

"How?"

"This forest and the actual area are different from what it looks like from the outside, at least my mental power has been released for three kilometers, there is no sign of end, there is no danger within one kilometer, and there are two obvious mental power fluctuations moving non-stop one kilometer away, converted to combat strength, it is probably an elite trainer level."

When faced with business, little Zoroa showed a calm side, and Zhong Xia listened to its report, but his mouth was bitter.

"Is an elite trainer a roadside cabbage? There are two of them! ”

(Trainer Levels: Rookie Trainer, Formal Trainer, Elite Trainer, Quasi-Heavenly King, Elven Heavenly King, Alliance Champion)

Zhong Xia didn't know that there were fifteen such cabbages, and once he touched one of them, then the next chain reaction would make him face the silent encirclement of fifteen cabbages.

Fortunately, Zhong Xia was not exposed, and with the frontal combat ability he had at hand now, he was a little choked even in the face of the two ordinary trainers, and of course he didn't dare to provoke them.

The so-called frontal combat ability refers to the ability to take it out openly, like little Zoroa's words, it's okay to use the phantom to deceive the opponent, once the frontal battle starts, it will definitely be exposed if the phantom can't be disguised, which is difficult for Zhong Xia to accept, and he clearly understands in his heart that Ye'er is already his deepest attachment in this world.

As for the three gophers, Zhong Xia knew very well that it was not suitable to be a companion on his ideal path at all, and just as an old friend of his father accompanied him for a while, he would return to his hometown to accompany his father.

As for the wood, in fact, Zhong Xia thought that he had picked up the treasure, but that Dr. Takahashi missed the eye, and he thought that the wood that had lost its luxuriant characteristics had possessed an even rarer powerful mutation of me.

The potential of wood is very strong, if the skills are matched properly, the level of combat is played well, and even dare to challenge the elves of the second stage evolution, but now it is always lonely and difficult to sound, because Zhong Xia now has the elves on hand, only wood and the third child, too many exquisite combinations are impossible to talk about.

"It seems that this matter should not be mixed too deeply, after the three forks, you should pay more attention to the elves that can form a joint attack and defense with wood."

Zhong Xia was thinking in his heart, while carefully moving through the forest, and at the same time, connecting with Guò's mind to make the wood a little more careful.

"Ye'er, don't you think this forest is too weird?"

"Zhong Xia, you just found out, except for us outsiders, there is no breath of life here."

"Well, I think we're going to go."

The more Zhong Xia walked in a certain direction, the more he felt creepy, and the feeling of hairiness in his heart made him stop.

At this time, it was obviously noon outside, but it was as dark as evening here, and it was extremely cool, but in Zhong Xia's ears, some footsteps and malicious laughter slowly appeared.

“…… Run...... Run...... Come on!

…… Hee-hee, to-............ Which...... Run? ”

With a grunt, Zhong Xia swallowed his saliva, no matter how tenacious his nerves were, he was unwilling to face this kind of scene where he only heard the ghost sound and did not see people, and the ghost situation made him feel very tricky.

The gray-black mist that surrounded him around him was obviously some special ghost-type elves, but it didn't look like the good camp at all.

But just when Zhong Xiatong Guò's mind link asked the wood to come back, little Zoroa on his shoulder suddenly had an abnormality.

"Get out! Go out! Come! ”

At this time, a roar of spiritual power that had almost formed a substance suddenly startled, and the furious energy even swept up the surrounding fallen leaves, like a whirlwind blowing in the flat ground, and the powerful force suddenly cleared a qiē vision within a hundred meters around.

"Stupid Zhong Xia is stunned, hurry up and return the same way!"

At this time, the voice of Ye'er, who had just finished the ultimate, was as sharp as a girl. The irritation of the ceremony gives people a sense of powerlessness full of weakness.

"Wood get out of here!"

Zhong Xia was just a line slower, and under the pressure of terror, he became more and more sensitive and perceptive, so that he didn't look at his eyes, and he seemed to feel that the condensed gray-black mist was coming in all directions.

Run away, run for your life!
