Chapter 008: Poisonous Mist Maze
The deathly silence of the Red Oak Grove was unusually long for Lawrence, a few seconds that seemed like a century. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Lawrence, who was on horseback, held up the fading torches and tentatively called out the names of the soldiers, but no one responded. 'Neighing', the horse under the crotch neighed and fell to the ground, constantly tossing on the ground, trying to stand but unable to stand up.
Lawrence fell from his horse, the torch fell to the snow and was extinguished instantly, there was no light around him, and in the dark forest he felt something bite under his feet, and a strong fragrance came to his nose, followed by a numbness in his scalp, followed by a hot and burning pain.
He endured the severe pain and began to run wildly, and there was no light in the forest where he could not see his fingers, and Lawrence hit a tree and got up again and continued to run until he could no longer run.
He gasped and rested on the ground, vaguely feeling his feet bleeding, it must be a sawtooth sunflower, that thing can actually bite through my boots, and the people I brought with me were eaten by those monsters?
After a short rest, Lawrence heard his name being called.
"Duke Lawrence!"
"Here. Lawrence reluctantly stood up to respond to a distant voice, and a group of soldiers heard it.
"Lord Lawrence, seeing that you have not returned, the Lord has sent five more teams to search for you in search of the antidote to the poisonous mist. The leading soldier handed Lawrence a torch.
Lawrence took the torch from the soldier and bent down to bring it close to the snow, trying to see the wound on his foot.
Printed with the light of the torch, he found that the foot that had just been attacked was already full of holes, and blood was flowing from it, but fortunately he ran fast, and if he was a little later, he might really have to be eaten by that thing for dinner.
"Kenny sent five more squads, didn't he? Sawtooth Aoi should be nearby, but you ten probably won't have enough for those guys to eat, so call some more. ”
After a while, a large number of soldiers arrived, and Kenny led a horse to Lawrence's side, "Yo, it seems that you are really lucky not to be eaten by the monster." ”
"And make fun of me, you should really come and find those monsters yourself, we don't see such things in the south, they are even more terrifying than the locals have introduced. ”
More and more soldiers arrived here, and they pushed away the thick snow, and found that the snow was full of white bones, and it was impossible to tell what kind of creatures the owners of these white bones were alive.
Push open the white bones to see the true face of the sawtooth sunflower, this carnivorous monster has an extremely beautiful appearance, the thin flower stems are intricate against the ground, you can't tell which flower grows on which stem, the gorgeous petals have countless small black spots, from a distance, the colorful flowers reflect the snow is a little romantic, but it is a pity that it is in this poisonous fog-filled red oak forest, and it is a pity that the guy with beautiful flowers is a carnivorous plant.
Lawrence looked at the soldiers picking sawtooth sunflowers in the distance, the wound on his foot still aching.
"Report, Duke Lawrence, the soldier who went out with you has been found, and there is only a pile of bones left except for clothes, but the place where they happened is far from here, have you run that far?" one soldier reported to Lawrence.
"Got it. He didn't know how long he had been running in the dark, although he was riding in front, but he knew very well that the soldiers he had brought out were very close to him, why they had been eaten without making a sound, and if they were also attacked by Sawtooth Aoi, he knew the pain very well, no one would be eaten without making a sound, and the locals he had brought out, why there were no clothes for him, Lawrence had many doubts in his heart.
After picking the sawtooth sunflower, the military doctor wearing a bird's beak mask set up a marching pot and carefully broke off the petals of this sawtooth sunflower, and the pots of sawtooth sunflower bubbles in the water, and the whole forest is an attractive fragrance.
The military doctor distributed the prepared decoction, and the soldiers who were eroded by the poisonous mist drank the decoction and gradually regained their strength.
Some things look ugly, but on the other hand, they are antidotes, and sometimes people are like that.
After a day's rush and a search in the middle of the night, the soldiers of the Union Army were exhausted by the toss, but fortunately there were no casualties.
In the middle of the night, Kenny leaned against the trunk of a tree and didn't fall asleep, still worrying about last night's dream, which was so real, as if it had happened, that he felt like he was going to be attacked by the Peace Army at any moment, and then saw Nina's arm bleeding and slashed Lawrence's head with his sword.
When Kenny wakes up, it's the next morning, and nothing has happened in his dream. It's snowing heavily in the north after a sunny day, and no one knows when the damn weather will end.
Lawrence carved a cross mark in the rear of the troops, Lawrence, who had been bumped by the horse all morning, got off the horse impatiently, walked as if he had stepped on something, picked it up and saw that it was a stoneware vase, Lawrence curiously opened the stoneware vase, and inside it was a sheepskin map.
As the troops rested, Lawrence handed Kenny the sheepskin map, and Kenny, who was eating dried beef, opened the sheepskin map, and was shocked to find that it was a complete map of the Red Oak Forest, and the integrity of the map could not be compared to theirs.
The water source, the beast's nest, the poisonous fog area, and even the growth location of the sawtooth sunflower and how to use it are all clearly recorded.
"You picked it up, Lawrence?" said Kenny, looking at the map in surprise.
"Well, I feel like somebody is helping us. Lawrence looked skeptical.
"Lawrence, I've always thought it was strange, I thought it was strange when I came out of Ogps, a lot of strange things happened along the way, I met a strange person in the tavern of Ogps, and then I had a strange dream, I don't know how to tell you about the dream, anyway, now you have picked up a strange bottle with such a detailed map in it. I don't feel like someone is helping us, it's more like someone is holding us by the nose and pushing us forward. Kenny voiced his doubts, but disguised the contents of the dream.
"Dream?" Lawrence looked at Kenny with a puzzled face, "I also had a strange dream the night before yesterday Kenny, I dreamed that we went into the Red Oak Forest..."
Before Lawrence could tell the contents of the dream, a flock of cloudy black crows flew over their heads, and the little light in the red oak forest was all covered by the black crows, and flocks of ominous birds made a "whoa-wow-" sound, followed by hundreds of arrows falling from the sky.
The battle-hardened Confederates reacted quickly, and a group of guards immediately formed a shield wall to block Kenny and Lawrence's side.
Before Kenny could give the battle order, Lawrence beside him said to Kenny in horror, "Kenny!
