Chapter 457: The Tree House in the River
After putting everything in order, Andy followed his senses and set off in the direction of the Forest of Death.
Although Andy doesn't know what Lyle is talking about, the secrets in the Forbidden Forest can't always be bypassed in the Forest of Death.
Andy set off all the way to the Forest of Death, and I don't know if it was because pirates had cleared the area before, and Andy didn't encounter any beasts along the way, but as the sky deepened, the jungle became darker and darker.
After moving away from the place where the battle had been before, the familiar sounds of birds and insects sounded in the jungle again, and the rustling sound came from time to time not far away, and I don't know if it was the sound of the wind or the sound of some animal rubbing the leaves.
Andy's ears moved, and he seemed to hear the sound of the river.
Sure enough, Andy walked in the direction where the sound of the river came from, and after walking for about a few minutes, the sound of the river flowing became clearer and clearer.
After peeling back a bush in front of him, Andy's vision suddenly cleared.
In front of the bushes is a river about ten meters wide, and the direction of the river is towards the Forest of Death.
The sides of the river are covered with thick trees, and the broad foliage stretches and intertwines, and only at the top of the center of the river, where the foliage is sparse, does a ray of sunlight shine down.
It was just after noon, and the sun was abundant, which made the river look eerie, as if it had been split into two parts by a bright yellow light.
After Andy peeled off the bushes, two little badger pigs who were drinking by the river seemed to be startled, and one of them stepped back twice uneasily, his limbs and hooves slippery, and fluttered wildly.
The other was slightly sideways, with his head facing Andy's side, one eye rolling restlessly, staring at Andy tightly.
"Hum hum hum ~ "
The badger pig hummed softly, and his belly rose and fell rapidly, making Andy feel a little cute.
He lightened his pace and slowly walked out of the bushes.
Scold!
The two badger pigs turned around and ran, letting out a low howl from their mouths, and soon disappeared.
"This ...... I don't think there's going to be a pack of badger pigs chasing me, right?"
Andy was stunned for a moment, a little speechless, he walked to the river, there were many small insects hidden in the wet soil, but looking along the river beach, there were no human footprints.
The river meanders and spreads deep into the jungle, and at the end of the river is darkness, and in the darkness hides dead silence and terror.
It was like a terrifying beast with its open jaws, quietly waiting for its prey to walk in on its own.
It's not far from the Forest of Death.
Andy knew in his heart that a short walk along the river was the legendary Forest of Death.
Although in Andy's perception, the black crow was still some distance away from his location, but it may be because the place where the black crow was located was inside the Forest of Death.
Andy let out a long breath, a fine bead of sweat appeared on his palm, and he felt himself excited.
After walking along the river for about ten minutes, Andy stopped, and not far in front of him, a large and stout tree grew in the middle of the river, and the branches of the big tree were luxuriant, entangled with the trees around the river, forming a verdant barrier.
Beneath this leafy barrier, a two-story treehouse sits quietly.
Under the treehouse there was a ladder made of vines and thick wood, half of which was set up in the water, and where the ladder was connected to the water, a small boat was moored.
"It's kind of funny, there are still people living here. ”
Andy could clearly feel that there was a powerful and strange power in the treehouse, like the magic of a wizard, but it was even more mysterious.
Behind the treehouse, a faint black mist was thick, but it was as if there was a transparent barrier blocking them, so that the black mist could not spread.
Andy walked to the bank of the river facing the treehouse, he looked and wanted to walk over, although the river here is much wider, but the riverbank is only a dozen meters away from the treehouse, Andy wants to swim over, it won't take too much time.
But before he could get into the water, the door to the treehouse creaked open.
A slightly hoarse woman's voice came from the treehouse.
"Little one, if I were you, I wouldn't be so reckless. ”
Andy stopped, he stood on the riverbank, thought for a moment, raised an eyebrow, bent down to grab a cable, and pulled the small wooden boat over.
"Thank you for the reminder, ma'am. ”
Andy stepped onto the boat, paddled his oars towards the middle of the river, and shouted at the treehouse.
"I like polite imps, even though you're a damn pirate. ”
There was a burst of laughter from inside the treehouse, and Andy suddenly felt a chill in his heart, as if the woman in the treehouse was an amazing guy.
Soon Andy was in the middle of the river, and he stepped down from the boat, up the stairs of rough logs and vines, step by step.
The door of the treehouse was not closed, and now outside the door, Andy could vaguely see some chaos in the dim treehouse, which seemed to be an abandoned house that had not been cleaned up for a long time.
"Ha~ little guy, don't you dare to come in?"
The woman's hoarse laugh seemed like a feather, sliding slightly across Andy's heart, and Andy smiled as he stepped into the treehouse.
Call~
When Andy walked into the treehouse, the originally dim treehouse suddenly lit up, and Andy squinted slightly, and found that a few candles on the table and on the wall not far away were burning on their own.
A woman with a dark cocoa complexion sat at the edge of the table, her eyes unusually bright, looking at Andy with fierce eyes.
"Hmm, familiar breath...... The power of the plague, it seems, is ...... Plague spreader, Francis Drake, Lord of the Seas. ”
The woman's face changed slightly, and she shook her head and sighed.
"Drake was the Pirate King of more than a hundred years ago, no, no. ”
The woman squinted, she looked at Andy, stretched out her neck and sniffed at Andy's body, then grinned and pointed her finger at Andy with a strange expression.
"Ah~ha~"
There was something strange about the woman's tone, and with her expression, it was hard not to think that she had a mental problem.
"You have the blood of that Oriental in your body, and you still have the breath of the howling wind in your body...... I think it was the Howling Wind that asked you to come. ”
The woman smiled playfully, took a glass of dirt mixed with sand and gravel from the side of the table, poured it on the table, and grabbed Andy's hand.
"Let me see, little one, what is your fate?"
