Chapter 21: The Foggy Pine Forest
Although it is almost autumn and the weather is much cooler than in summer, the sun is still strong at noon, and the scorching light is shining down, raising the temperature of the whole land a lot. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Under such a fierce sun, even Monteus felt very uncomfortable. He pursed his chapped lips and glanced back at Concentrated and Foam, who were also about to collapse from the sun.
Except for a few words spoken when they first met, the three of them barely communicated with each other afterwards. The purpose of both Mondeos and Condensation was to go to the Holy Capital of Fog City, and Luo Mo originally planned to return to Water City, but after Condensation said that Wind Wing knew the general location of Ye Lingxin, he also changed his attention and decided to follow them to have a look. She was a little happy in her heart, and secretly thought: If she can invite Ye Lingxin to Water City as a guest, I don't know how excited that guy will become, maybe even his own city will be abandoned!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile. But I didn't expect this to be seen by Mondeos who turned around. Monteos asked suspiciously, "What are you laughing at?"
Condensed also turned his head to look at her, his eyes full of confusion.
"I ...... I'm thinking about ......" Luo Mo hurriedly explained, "I'm thinking about our Holy Emperor of Water City, she should be very happy to hear that Ye Lingxin is still alive." But soon she lowered her head with a pale face, not daring to look at Monteus and Condensed again.
It has been rumored outside that Montios has a crush on the Holy Emperor of the Water City, and what is known is the relationship between Ye Lingxin and the condensed sister Solandi, but his own explanation is getting darker and darker, and offended two people at the same time.
Monteus didn't get as angry as she imagined, he laughed a few times and said heartily: "My brother, not only is his strength unmatched, but even this ...... This woman's fate is also difficult to compare with ordinary people. ā
Seeing Monteus's reaction, Luo Mo was a little unable to come back to her senses, and it took a long time for her to breathe a deep sigh of relief, and secretly thought: It seems that the rumors are all false. In any case, it would be best if Monteos was not angry. She looked at Condensation in embarrassment, but Condensed just smiled faintly at her and didn't speak.
"But. Monteos suddenly spoke again, and Luo Mo's heart that had just been put down instantly rose again. "Everyone knows this, Ye Lingxin likes Soranti, and the relationship between them is ...... How can I say it, anyway, Ye Lingxin can do anything for her, your Holy Emperor, although he has a good vision, it is a pity that he will inevitably end up with himself uncomfortable. ā
Of course, she understands the question of "......", even Tjelinka herself understands the consequences very well, but Tjelinka is also a tenacious woman, even if she knows that she would rather be sad than give up if she can't get it. And as the only sister she can confide in, Luo Mo will do anything to make her even happy for a while.
Then there was silence, and all three of them were full of thoughts, and they all looked like they wanted to speak and stopped.
Suddenly, Condenser stopped and shouted, "Wait." ā
Monteus and Luo Mo stopped, looking at her inexplicably. Condensed face was full of fear, as if she had encountered something very terrifying, and she trembled and said, "There is a foggy pine forest ahead. ā
"That's what happened. Monteus clapped his hands and said with a smile: "That's right, I've heard of the name of the Fog Pine Forest in Fog City a long time ago, and it is said to be a magical area with the same name as the Wind Cave in Wind City and the Holy Ladder of my Holy Light City. ā
"Sister Condensed. Luo Mo asked: "This fog pine forest is the natural barrier of your fog city, it is said that it is extremely dangerous inside, what do we need to pay attention to after we go in?"
Condensed nodded and said, "The foggy pine forest is full of dense fog all year round, and it is unpredictable, and the pattern in the forest is also like a constantly changing labyrinth that changes at any time, and the most terrifying thing is that there are many unpredictable traps inside, and those traps are almost all fatal. Although the fog does not hinder the vision of our fogger, those traps are difficult to detect, and it is even recorded in the ancient books of Fog City that the traps inside are constantly moving, which is impossible to prevent. ā
"So terrifying?" Luo Mo asked with some concern, "In other words, even you may not be able to discover all the dangers inside?"
"Don't talk about me. Condensed shook his head and replied: "The reason why Nebula made a big fuss in Fog City back then was because it suffered a loss in it. Even someone as good as him was in the dust, let alone anyone else. At best, we foggers are only operating in the relative safety of the periphery, and almost no one dares to enter the pine forest. ā
Hearing her say this, Monteus's excitement suddenly dissipated, and with it, a full of worry rose. Although he was full of curiosity and anticipation about these legendary places, if even someone like Nebula could not please him after entering, he would have to re-examine the danger in front of him. Although Xingyun is hateful, in terms of strength, he is still aware of the gap between himself and the other party.
Originally, they wanted to reach the holy capital as soon as possible, but they didn't expect that an inconspicuous forest would become the biggest obstacle. Monteus looked around for a moment and said, "Isn't there any other way around?"
Condensed shook his head and said, "The area of the Fog Pine Forest is very vast, if you want to go around, you have to walk for at least half a day to avoid it, and the distance to the Holy Capital is also very far from other roads. She was full of guilt and continued: "It's also blamed that I only hated in my heart at the time, and didn't think about it so much, otherwise if we had a little more way to the west, it might be faster and safer to pass through Wubei City." ā
Monteus pondered for a while, and said: "We didn't find any traces left by them along the way, maybe they just took the road from Wubei City, or maybe they will soon reach the Holy Capital, and they may not be able to catch up with them on a long detour, so I decided to move on and walk through this forest." As for you ......"
"Together, we have one more person and more strength. Luo Mo shouted, "Although our strength is not worth mentioning compared to you, the Holy Emperor, it should not be so bad as to tear you back. ā
Monteos smiled and said, "Don't say that, since everyone is together, we have to take care of each other." ā
The three of them had not gone far, and sure enough, a deep forest appeared, and almost all of them were tall pine trees. Monteus glanced to both sides, and found that everywhere he could see was the forest. As condensed said, if you want to avoid this forest, you don't know how far you have to go.
The foggy pine forest was not surrounded by fog as they imagined, on the contrary, as far as they could see, there was no fog at all, and the scene inside was clearly visible, even the cute little squirrels scurrying around in the pine trees, and the chickling birds in the nests in the treetops.
Even so, they slowed down and cautiously walked inside.
As soon as I entered the forest, a cool breeze instantly hit my face, completely dispelling the hot feeling just now. The sunlight is broken down by the branches, and when it is scattered on them, there is no longer a burning feeling, on the contrary, mixed with the breeze, it has a cool but warm comfort.
Monteus lowered his head and looked at the thick pile of charred pine needles that had fallen to the ground, and wanted to lie down and sleep comfortably. He remembered that when he was not a Saint Emperor, at that time, Xingyun and Ye Lingxin, two people whose strength made everyone surpass ordinary people, had not yet appeared, and he was just a person who had just harvested the Holy Horse and the Holy Weapon and was about to become a top-level Holy Light Master.
In other cities, the top Holy Mage is a very respected existence by tens of thousands of people, and in the Holy Light City, although the prestige of the top Holy Light Master is also admired, but it is only this group, if it is a single person, I am afraid that no one will care if you are a top Holy Light Master.
This was the case with Monteus at that time. Not many people knew about him when he was a high-level Saint Light Master, and no one had deliberately learned about him after he became a top-level Saint Light Master. Fortunately, he doesn't pursue fame, so he ends up free, and he won't need to deliberately disguise himself wherever he goes. At that time, he liked to walk alone in some deep mountains and old forests, and when he was tired, he slept in the woods, and the ground covered with leaves was sometimes more relaxing than the bed at home.
He couldn't help but sigh deeply in his heart, feeling that time passed like flowing water and could never be recovered. Once the most ardent dream in his heart was to protect the Holy Light City with his life, but now he has become the Holy Emperor of this city by mistake, and his freedom has been almost "deprived" because of this.
Monteus suddenly woke up from his memories and saw an eagle with gray feathers standing on his shoulder. With a faint smile on his face, he said, "I'm afraid that those traps will constantly change positions so that we can't guard against them, and letting the wind wings stare at the danger on the ground may help us." ā
Monteos gave a thumbs up and smiled, "Good idea." ā
The wind wings flapped their wings, flapped their wings a few times, and instantly flew through the leafy treetops and flew above the foggy pine forest.
Luo Mo looked up at it and said, "I'm a little worried, although these lush pines are not very useful for the paladin's perception ability, but if there is really a thick fog inside, will the Wind Wing be able to see the situation below?"
Condensed replied, "Anyway, you have to give it a try." ā
At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened, and a huge force slammed downward, and Luo Mo and Condensed both looked at it with surprised faces. The wind wings that had just taken to the sky had somehow become huge, and it kept hissing and then swooping down. The three of them didn't understand why it was acting so strangely.
Because of the wind wings, countless frightened birds in the woods fluttered up one after another, fleeing into the sky. The force was so strong that even many animals on the ground began to "flee".
