Loki carefully hid behind the stone wall, his hand on the stone wall, and suddenly noticed a black charcoal smear on it.

The black one seemed to be a picture, but before he could look closely, an ant silently climbed up the stone wall, and climbed down the stone wall to the back of the half-elf boy's hand.

Loki didn't dare to make a sound, and wanted to shake the ant down gently.

But what I didn't expect was that the ant's mouthparts suddenly opened wide, and it bit down on the severed finger of its left hand.

He felt a slight pain in the broken finger, and he immediately gently pinched the ant with his hand, and didn't think too much about it for a while, but what happened next caught him off guard.

I saw that the skin that had been bitten by the ants suddenly came with an indescribable pain, and a blister was visible to the naked eye, and a pungent smell of corrosion came out at the same time.

Holding back the pain, he carefully cut the blister with his clawblade, and immediately spat out a mouthful of saliva.

The blister wound was getting more and more painful, and there was no sign of relief at all.

Fortunately, the evil witch didn't notice him, and the pungent smell of corrosion on the other side of the stone wall was even stronger, and even irritated the respiratory tract.

The ant's mouthparts contained irritating acids, Loki guessed in his heart.

He didn't dare to delay, while enduring the sharp pain, and at the same time lowered his voice and took out the water bag in his bag, cut a cut on the water bladder, and immediately stuffed the severed finger and his left hand into it.

The severed finger burned by acid was washed in clean water for a while, and the pain of corrosion was finally relieved.

"Goodbye, Milson, the apprentice who sits down with the teacher, and I will take care of you...... Your lovely girlfriend's. ”

Then, there was a hoarse laugh like the rubbing of iron skins, and it was a long time before the sound disappeared outside the cave.

The strange witch-like killer finally left, and Loki breathed a sigh of relief.

......

After waiting for a long time, and seeing no more movement outside, the half-elf boy finally poked his head out cautiously.

The location of Milson's corpse before had turned into a puddle of pus that was drying up, and the corpse was naturally eaten clean by the ants before it.

Loki felt his fingers tremble a little, and he didn't know if it was from the corrosive pain of formic acid or if it was affected by an unknown fear.

Next to the pool of pungent pus, there were a few rotten ants, still licking the liquid.

Spotting two or three ants crawling towards him, Loki did not hesitate to step on them.

This ant containing super formic acid must be the method used by the mysterious evil witch to destroy the corpse, and the spell that makes the soul tremble, which normal people will never forget.

The half-elf boy suddenly thought of something, and went back to the back of the stone wall just now, and found that there were a few clumsy and simple words and drawings on it.

The simple lines draw a small house, and the characters outlined by the lines are simple and naïve, but you can still tell that there are two adults in the small house, holding the hands of a little girl, and two braids are simply drawn on the small head of the circle.

There are also crooked typos on the picture - home, dad, mom, little Fatuna is going home.

And among them, there are several words that 'little Fatuna is going home' that have been misspelled.

The other cave walls around the cave also have some artificial nicks, as if more than one person has been here, carefully search, there are engraved names or distress messages, and there are also some like illiterate lost people, carved with strange beasts or desperate pictures.

Loki felt a little inexplicable in his heart, and he sighed, still leaving these things behind.

Before dawn, thinking that the evil witch had not been gone for long, he still held back the pungent smell and stayed in the cave to rest.

After tossing and turning for a night's rest, it was about the morning of the next day that Loki poked his head out of the cave on guard.

There were some clear footprints on the ground, showing the path of the evil wizard along the river, and as for Loki's previous lack of footprints at the entrance of the cave, it was probably due to heavy rain.

The half-elf boy scratched his scalp vigorously, he felt a pang of embarrassment, he had planned to wade along the river, but the witch had already left in this route.

Loki took out the nameplate ornament he had obtained yesterday in the hands of the dead body, and he did not dare to light a fire in the cave to look closely, but by the touch of his fingers, he felt that there was a carving on it that resembled a flame ornament.

Looking closely now, I found that this small metal nameplate was very delicate, with a line of unrecognized words engraved on it, and a pattern of arms embracing a black flame below, which looked like some kind of organizational logo of that kind of evil witch.

After thinking about it for a moment, he weighed the danger in order to avoid encountering this strange evil witch.

Loki had no choice but to take the route and continue due west, once again venturing into the eerie Forest of Secret Words.

......

The sun gradually rises to its highest, and it is the hottest time in the middle of the day.

In this ubiquitous green ocean, the water vapor such as dense forest plants evaporates and turns into a dense miasma.

Shaking the little water bladder that was left, Loki raised his head and took a small sip.

I used a claw knife to cut a gap in the water bag, so that the water bag could not even hold half of the water before, and it was only half a day, and there was not much fresh water in it.

Loki wiped the sweat from his forehead again, the miasma around him not only made people uncomfortable with heat and humidity, but also had a certain impact on the direction, and it was difficult to see even the reference object ten meters away.

Although he has a visual optimization system, it is only based on visual images and constantly collected memory images for comparison, and processes the optimized images, which may have certain errors.

This error is nothing in normal times, but this strange jungle that has to be vigilant at all times requires him to be extremely careful, not only to maintain a high level of mental concentration, but also to slow down his speed.

The body is a little unbearable, and Loki will choose to stop and pull to rest, so as to walk and stop in the miasma.

Finally, I found that the trees in front of me had become sparse, and even the poisonous insects and beasts that came and went around seemed to have suddenly disappeared.

"Here...... It's like approaching the heart of the Forest of Secret Words. ”

Loki estimated the distance traveled over the past few days, and came to the conclusion that he had almost come to this conclusion.

The air seemed to suddenly become dry, the surrounding trees were no longer so tall, the crisp birdsong was heard in the ears, and the green grass was covered with wildflowers of all kinds of bright colors.

Loki suddenly became alert, and in the distance there was the sound of wild beasts running and trees scraping.

He didn't dare to be careless, so he hid behind a tree trunk and quietly laid the crossbow string.

I saw that the branches of the bushes were knocked open, and out of it came a small pig beast with fangs, and this pig beast was running towards the place where the half-elf boy was hiding.

Loki quietly clasped the bulge of the trunk and nimbly climbed onto a thick branch, while raising his short-armed crossbow and carefully observing the beast.

As if smelling him, the pig beast ran over and circled behind the tree.

The fangs raised and screamed at the half-elf boy in the tree.
