Chapter 371: The Strange Forest
Cyran and Jim looked at each other for a moment, snorted coldly, and turned away.
He had heard that the woman had also returned with the eldest lady, and it was far from the time to start a war with them, but when Barendav gained the power of the Divine Tree, the history of the Chamber of Commerce would be rewritten. Sailan didn't expect the eldest lady to become so fierce, and she didn't even take a step back in the face of herself.
"Thank you, Jim. After Cyran left, Lilith breathed a sigh of relief.
"Miss, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation, but I have to warn you that the Emerald Forest is not a good place to go. "Jim understands Lilith's stubborn character, and once Lilith decides, no matter what he says, he can't stop the other party's determination to go to the Emerald Forest. As an elder, the only thing he can do is alert Lilith to the danger ahead, and stay in the shadows ready to help.
"I know. ”
Lilith nodded.
"Be careful all the way. ”
Jim didn't bother to persuade her, he grabbed the scabbard nailed to the doorframe and quickly returned to his hand, and Jim leaned to the right to make way for Lilith.
The other side.
Phoenix is incredibly convinced that Alyssa has mysteriously disappeared.
At first, when the other party rushed out of the house, she didn't care. But after a few minutes, the silence outside the cabin was excessive, and Phoenix realized that something was not quite right, and chased him out. There was no sign of a fight outside the hut, and she flapped her wings for miles, but there was still no sign of Elisa.
Phoenix is extremely confident in her speed, in terms of flight speed, there are no faster creatures in the two worlds combined! Even if she lets Alyssa run for a few minutes first, she can catch up with Alyssa in an instant if she wants to. However, Phoenix couldn't find anything, so she was convinced that there was some strange and extraordinary power in the Emerald Forest, and that it could even affect Alyssa as a Knight of the Round Table!
She tried to tell Lin Qiu about the seriousness of the problem, and Lin Qiu found Alyssa behind the wooden house.
Time-consuming, half a minute.
Here's what happened:
After Alyssa left, Phoenix sprinted his head into the forest for miles, perfectly missing Alyssa behind the cabin.
Lin Qiu felt that his IQ had been challenged.
But there was one thing that Phoenix seemed to be right about - there was something strange about the Emerald Forest, and when he found Alyssa, he found that the other person's face was a little ugly, she was standing in front of a tree, her head bowed and she didn't know what she was thinking.
"Alyssa, are you alright?"
"Ah...... I'm fine!"
Lin Qiu's greeting voice was so startled that Alyssa snorted softly.
It was so unusual that with Alyssa's senses, he would be noticed every time he was ten meters away, but this time he walked up behind Alyssa, and Alyssa didn't know anything - not even his obvious footsteps. Alyssa reached out and rubbed her temples: "If you're ready, go after those adventurers." ”
It must have been that she's been too tired lately and hallucinating.
Alyssa comforted herself inwardly, but at the same time, she thought of the silhouette that had flashed by just now. The other stood quietly by the tree, watching her through the window. Even if it's just a fleeting moment, it's too real, it's too real...... Let Alyssa think that the other party is still alive.
But.
The man was long dead, and she watched with her own eyes as the people of Solan Harbor buried her. She had to hide in the shadows that day, attending the other party's funeral, and the whole of Solan Harbor was filled with curses against her and the Holutia Alliance.
"Really?" Lin Qiu was skeptical.
No, he thought something must have happened when the distortion called him harassmently. Alyssa simply didn't want to tell him. Lin Qiu didn't ask any questions very interestingly, the sky was getting dark, and the cool breeze was blowing in the forest, after such a fuss, he actually felt that this forest was a little weird.
However, they did not change their plans, these adventurers were Barendav's subordinates, and Lin Qiu deliberately let them go back, just so that these adventurers could send information to Barendav, so that they could also meet Barendav himself.
The adventurers were not hard to find, these people didn't seem to have the slightest wilderness survival skills, and Lin Qiu could see the smoke rising from the campfire a kilometer away. It has to be said that these people were extremely inefficient in finding Barendav, and they had not traveled much distance by letting them go for so long, and they were in a hurry to set up tents and light campfires before it was completely dark.
However, this is also due to the special condition of the Emerald Forest.
Adventurers don't have to worry about seducing and provoking some terrible monsters - the humanoid monsters in this forest are not very powerful, or they are not willing to fight at all, and they can run as far as they can when they see humans. Adventurers wish the smoke of the campfire and the smell of food attracted the monsters.
The atmosphere at the camp was somewhat dreary.
After all, these adventurers had just been beaten by a solid fat beating, and no one was in the mood to sing, dance, talk and laugh after being hammered to cry and cry to their mother. The worst-faced of them all was the leader of the adventurers, who sat alone by the camp, occasionally picking up a jug and taking a sip.
At times like this, he would gather everyone together and brag to each other, and he was always the one who bragged the most.
But now, as long as he thought of what had happened before, a burst of anger swelled up.
"Ramov-Lancelot, I can't spare you!" he spat hard.
He knew that this kind of cruel talk could only be said now, just now it was not even a battle at all, and the guy named Ramov was a few grades higher than them, and it seemed that he was completely playing tricks on them. He had another chest tightness - it was so angry that even his grandmother had never beaten him like that!
"Boss ......"
"What else!?" Before his men could finish speaking, they were frightened by his angry roar and took several steps back. The poor man wanted to slip away, but this discovery was really important: "Chief, we found out when we were counting the manpower just now...... Two people are missing!"
"If it's gone, it's gone! Maybe they're going to make extra money, but what's the danger in this forest?" he choked his men back. His subordinates' faces turned blue and red for a while, and he wanted to say something, but seeing that the boss was so black that his face was frightened, he forcibly held back his words.
Ever since their boss was beaten in public by the Knight of the Round Table, who called himself Ramov, he had been completely reduced to a barrel of dynamite. Whoever spoke to him, he roared back with a volume that would deaf a man's ears.
Forget it, let's find it themselves.
Thinking so, his subordinates walked to a few of his acquaintances.
He disagreed with the chieftain's view of the forest, and it was never a good thing to go missing at such a time.
The markets of the Taines are filled with terrifying tales of the Emerald Forest.
