The sun shone on Kenny's face for a long time, and he suddenly woke up from his sleep, breathing heavily, remembering what he had done, his left arm still aching from the arrow wound, but the wound was nowhere to be seen. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Kenny slaps himself in the face again and again, realizing that it's not a dream. He hurriedly stood up, rushed to Lawrence's tent, and pushed open the curtain of the improvised tent, while Lawrence, who was patrolling the night patrol, was still asleep.

Is this a dream or not, and why is it so real?

Kenny was rarely so flustered, and the arrogant pedigree of the Dalton family did not allow him to lose his temper like this, and he gradually calmed down, and Lawrence woke up from his sleep.

"Lord, I'm sorry that the night patrol was a little tired last night. Lawrence's face was a little pale, and the first thing he did when he woke up was to touch his neck, and he twisted his neck repeatedly as if he was asleep, but Kenny didn't think so.

Kenny was in a flurry again, and his newly calmed heart was turned over again, and Lawrence's action burned Kenny's heart like a fire, but this time he didn't show it on his face.

"Did you have any dreams? You don't seem to be doing well, do you need some unpleasant ale to wake up?" Kenny asked Lawrence with a pretended lightheartedness, but his panicked heart made his words and the corners of his eyes tremble a little.

Kenny's words stunned Lawrence's question, and he didn't answer immediately, even if it was only for a brief second, or half a second, and the slightest panic was in Kenny's eyes.

"Oh, no, lord, it's just a little tired, I'm not used to this ghost weather in the north. Lawrence stood up, twisted his neck, and said, "Lord, we're about to enter the Red Oak Grove, I think we need to find a local to lead the way, in case we get lost or run into a poisonous mist, maybe they can do something, we need to buy some warm clothing." ”

"That's true, but I don't think anyone wants to go with us into the Red Oak Grove, because it's too dangerous. Not even the Peace Army dared to go in, right, Duke Lawrence. Kenny had something to say.

"Have you forgotten who are in the tavern, the people here have no one to cultivate the wasteland except hunting, and they need more money to buy wheat from the outside world, and since they are short of money, we will give them money. ”

"Sounds good, but Lawrence, are you rich?" Kenny looked at Lawrence with disdain.

"No, so you'll have to lend me this. Lawrence pointed to the black steel sword at Kenny's waist.

The morning sun covered the northern land, and the snow for days did not melt by this pitiful sunshine.

Kenny was in the tent looking at the parchment map in a daze, he wasn't in the mood to study how big the red oak was, and he wasn't worried about getting lost, as if he had already experienced all this, and what would happen in his dreams?

With the dry bread no longer buttery, and the unpalatable ale in the sack almost bottoming out, Kenny took the last sip of the ale and ordered the whole army to set out for the Red Oak Grove.

Kenny rode at the front of the troops, his saber swinging rhythmically with the bumps of the horses, the dense red oak forest covering the sun, Lawrence carved a cross on the trunk of the tree like in a dream to prevent them from spinning in place, he had captured a local man out of nowhere, and everything else seemed familiar to Kenny.

The moonlight was approaching, and the obscuration of the foliage from the sun had darkened the invisible forest earlier than the plains, and the soldiers were exhausted from the day's march, but Kenny did not order a halt to rest, as if afraid that something would happen.

A sentry hurried from the rear of the troops to Kenny Riding the horse, "Report to the lord, it's not good, the rear of our troops..."

"The Peace Army attacked us, didn't they?" Kenny's heart felt like something was tugging at him, and he panicked to interrupt the sentry's words, the red oak forest was so quiet that it seemed to hear his own heartbeat.

"No, my lord, the rear troops have come to report that the poisonous fog is coming from the south, and there are already soldiers who have been bewitched by the poisonous fog, and now the number of wounded is still increasing, and our marching speed is far less fast than the poisonous fog. The sentry's bad news was like a good medicine that cured Kenny's panicked heart, and he was a little glad that it was the poisonous fog that came, not the peace army of his dreams.

Lawrence caught up with Kenny at the front of the army from the rear, "Lord, when the dry season of the Wo~er Wasteland comes, it will also be accompanied by a similar poisonous sand city storm, and there must be an antidote where poisonous snakes are infested, since this is the poisonous fog of the Red Oak Forest, the antidote must also be here." ”

"Sentinel, give the order, and rest the whole army in its place, and all men take off their shirts, and wet their clothes with your high wine, and cover your faces. There was not the slightest hint of anxiety in Kenny's words.

Lawrence dismounted from his horse, and he learned from the captive local population that the red oak did indeed have a flower called sawtooth sunflower, which was as beautiful as a poppy but depended on raw meat for its survival. During the day, the flowers never bloom, but when night comes, they quietly open their petals and emit an alluring aroma that lures mosquitoes, rats, ants or larger creatures to feed on them, but it is not known who is the hunter and who is the rabbit.

This flower generally grows in the depths of the red oak forest, they generally grow in groups, it is difficult for people who are not familiar with the terrain to find them, many hunters are besieged by this plant because of the tracking of prey, once there is raw meat close, the sawtooth sunflower will tightly entangle the prey, its petals seem to have countless mouths, little by little devouring the flesh and blood of the prey, even the lions and tigers in the forest dare not approach, the local said.

"Now that the snow has covered the forest, how can we see the sawtooth sunflower on the ground?" Kenny asked the locals.

"Although they eat meat, they are not animals with feet that can move around, and sawtooth sunflower only eats flesh and blood, not bones, so there must be countless white bones near the patches of sawtooth sunflower. ”

After Kenny consults with Lawrence, Lawrence leads ten guards and locals into the depths of the Red Oak Forest.

The snow covered the forest and obscured the forest's surface, and the dense foliage blocked out the sunlight and the moonlight, and Lawrence searched carefully northward with a torch.

The surroundings were eerily quiet, except for the sound of snow sliding down the foliage. The horse under Lawrence's crotch moved forward step by step, as if it also knew that danger was coming at any time, and walked very carefully.

The light of the torch in his hand was getting smaller and smaller, and it was about to burn out, Lawrence turned to change the torch, and when he turned his head to look behind him, he found that the guards and locals who were following him had disappeared.
