Chapter 32: The Dark Forest 2
Because of the big words they had said before, the three of them had to venture into the dark forest. Fortunately, everyone was still resting at this time, and Yue Xingcao had also said that she would find a way to keep their whereabouts from being discovered this time.
In order not to attract everyone's attention, the three of them rode Su Rui's school ride and quietly entered the dark forest. Moon Star Grass said that honey fruit insects are a kind of fruit that grows on a towering tree, and now this season is the right time for honey fruit insects to ripen. Fortunately, this kind of tree grows on the edge of the dark forest, and if they lived in the depths of the dense forest, the three of them might not have the courage to enter it.
There was only one near the honey fruit tree, and its high altitude, so they could see the towering honey fruit tree almost at a glance. The three of them got out of the car and came to the honey tree. The honey tree was so tall and thick that its trunk was almost enough to make a wooden house.
After the three of them circled around the honey fruit tree, they were surprised to find that there was a door and a window on the honey fruit tree. The doors are hidden, the windows are open, could it be that there are other people living here?
Thinking that this was a dark forest, even if it was on the edge, the three of them didn't dare to relax in the slightest.
"I'll go in and see if there's anyone inside, you two are waiting here. Wood whispered, wondering if it was a person or something else. To be on the safe side, Wood decided to go and see it all by himself.
Wood said this, but in his heart he was a hundred unwilling to step into the cabin. In such an environment and such a strange atmosphere, Wood only felt that if he didn't take a step, the pores on his body would shrink a lot. The weather was not very warm at this time, and Wood only felt that he was chilling, and he didn't know if it was because of the cold or because he was nervous.
Wood walked over to the hut and carefully pushed open the door, revealing that the space inside was much larger than the space seen from the outside. Wood exited the room and looked outside, it was a room dug out of a tree trunk, and Wood was walking into the room, which was clearly a very large room.
"Hello, anyone?" Wood shouted softly, his eyes wandering back and forth the room. There are some furniture in the room that looks very old, and although it is old, it still looks very clean. This means that this place is really inhabited, and this person should still be very detail-oriented. Because Wood found that everything here was very carefully arranged and neatly arranged.
There is a big bookshelf in the room with lots of books. Next to the bookshelf is a wooden recliner, and it should be a pleasure to sit on and read. At the very back of the room, there was a small bed that looked the size of a bed in their dorm room. It seems that the person who lives here is not very tall, and should be about the same height as them.
This reminded Wood of the elves, who were about the same height as himself. After making sure that there was no one, Wood called Suri and Mante in.
"There's no one inside, you can come in. Wood still didn't dare to say it out loud, as if the owner of the place hadn't gone far, but was nearby, and could appear at any moment.
"Wow, it looks like it's about to catch up with our family's size, how did you do that?" Mante looked at the suddenly enlarged space in amazement, wondering what kind of magic this was. If he could, he would like to learn this kind of magic, so that he could make his place more spacious and save himself from falling out of bed every day.
"It's really amazing. Su Rui was also shocked by the scene in front of her, which didn't seem to be something that magic could do.
"It's obviously inhabited, you see the furniture is very clean, and you see, there's a book he's just read, and there's a date on it. Wood found a book on his desk open, and next to the book, there was a notepad, on which it was written, "It happened to be today." That is, just today, the owner here is sitting at this table, reading the book.
"I think we'd better get the honey worms we need before the owner comes back, and then leave here before the owner comes back. Su Rui suggested that they act quickly, no matter who the owner of this place was or who it would be, according to the current situation, it was better for them to try not to attract the attention of others.
"Alright, let's get out of here as quickly as we can. Wood agrees that the feeling here is very bad, not only gloomy, but also an unsettling feeling that cannot be described in words.
At this time, the moon star grass was very energetic, standing on Wood's shoulder, looking here and there.
"These are honey fruit worms, you just have to go up to the tree and pick them off. Yuexingcao said very easily, as if the place she said was not a towering canopy, but a very ordinary tree that ordinary people could easily climb.
Look at the towering canopy of trees, and those honey fruit worms are located on top of the canopy. There are many trees and foliage here, and Su Rui's school ride is not suitable for riding in such an environment. If Wood's school rider was there, they probably wouldn't have to worry about this problem, but in order to reduce the attention of others, they only rode Su Rui's school rider.
"It's so high, how are you going to go up?" Mante was a little afraid of heights, and when he saw such a tall tree, he offered to wait for them below.
"Didn't anyone notice that there was a ladder here?" Moon Star Grass reminded helplessly, the three of them only noticed the height of the tree, but no one noticed that on the other side of the tree, there was actually a vine ladder that led directly to the canopy.
"There's even a vine ladder here? Looks like we're really going to pick things up, do you see the smoothness on it, if I'm not mistaken, what we're doing right now is no different from stealing. Su Rui said quickly, and the man also climbed the ladder and climbed towards the canopy, Wood following closely behind.
Mante stood under the tree, watching Suri and Wood grow farther and farther away from him, until he finally knew he couldn't see them. Seeing that they had climbed such a tall tree in order to get the honey fruit worm, Mante was very glad that he had chosen to stay.
