Chapter 324: Unexpected Situations
Now that Nick is gone, there is no point for Charlene to stay where she is, so she and Xiaoxin also got up and returned to the camp.
But everything that happened just now is still vivid in Charlene's mind.
There are also some fluctuations in her mood. Because of Nick's words just now, it actually made Charlene feel a lot of emotion.
Although Nick had a conflict with Charlene just now, Charlene didn't have any thoughts about Nick because of this. After all, boys are young and vigorous, and it is understandable that their ideas are immature. And to put it bluntly, it is better than rotting in the stomach, so Charlene's current feelings come more from her own emotions and thoughts.
Although Charlene is always the boy and the boy shouts at the teenagers, in fact, Charlene is not much older than them. So when Charlene stayed in Two Moon City four months ago, she probably didn't think about much more than these teenagers.
At that time, Charlene lived in good conditions and had good interpersonal relationships. She, like all other aristocratic ladies, had almost no worries, was always carefree, and all she cared about was her studies, her friends, and other inconsequential things.
But who would have thought that in just a few days, Charlene's life would change so drastically? The current Charlene has obviously grown a lot compared to before. There is also a clear sense of responsibility in her. Probably only after experiencing ups and downs can people grow up quickly in a short period of time!
Nick, on the other hand, obviously hasn't experienced any of these things. Because he has no experience, he can't intuitively understand what Charlene just said to him at present. It seems that this kid will really only realize his problem after suffering a loss!
Thinking of this, Charlene couldn't help but glance at Xiaoxin.
Because of what happened just now, Xiaoxin has always been not in high spirits. His eyes flickered, and it was obvious that he was distressed by what Nick had just said.
Xia Lin knew that Xiaoxin had also been under a lot of pressure during this time, but she felt that this child was different from others and that she could adjust herself, so she didn't plan to say anything more about this matter, she just wanted to turn the page quickly.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Nick's mother suddenly found Charlene in a panic, and suddenly cried out of breath.
"What happened? Don't rush, speak slowly. Charlene noticed that the situation was different, and asked softly while comforting.
"Nick, he came back late today, and then left in a rage!"
"Gone?" Charlene couldn't help but glance at each other with Xiaoxin, and then asked, "Where did he go?" ”
He said he was going to find the legendary Witch of the Woods. But you see that the wind and sand are so strong on this big night that I am worried that he will have an accident......" Mother's words have already brought a crying voice.
Charlene was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted. After that, she became a little annoyed again: it seems that this kid Nick told her before that he wanted to prove himself, and he really didn't say it casually!
It's just that he's so willful, but he's going to make a big mistake!
Not to mention that the situation in the Misty Forest is a mystery to the people themselves. Not to mention that the night itself in the neighborhood is not quiet.
Charlene was worried that Nick would encounter an accident when he entered the Misty Forest alone, so she hurriedly rushed to the direction where the forest was located. Seeing this, Xiaoxin immediately followed silently.
By the time the two reached the border of the Misty Forest, there was no trace of Nick.
Did he really enter this forest alone?
Charlene had a not-so-good premonition in her heart. She carefully observed the surrounding environment, because it was a cloudy day tonight, so the view of the outside environment was very poor. Even in open areas, it is difficult for them to see their surroundings. Not to mention, in the midst of a forest surrounded by mist.
At the same time, because the temperature at night is much cooler than during the day, the fog is closer to the ground than during the day. And this means that now is the time when the fog is at its thickest, and the visibility is very low.
And Charlene's biggest concern is the unknown existence hidden under this fog. Although it is rumored that the origin of the forest witch is in this forest, it is only a legend after all. After all, no one knows exactly what lies in this fog. Even if this is really the habitat of the legendary Witch of the Woods, judging from the fact that they have spread the fog, it is clear that people from the outside world are not welcome, so Nick's rash intrusion may disturb the Witches of the Woods. Not to mention, this is also a place where the situation of war can break out at any time, and there is a high probability that there will be sentinels from the highlands or the country of the sky. If Nick bumps into them, there's a good chance he'll be killed as a scout! So they have to find Nick as soon as possible!
Thinking of this, Charlene said to Xiaoxin with a solemn face: "Next, I'll go to the forest to find Nick." You just stay here and wait. In that case, if Nick comes out of it, there will be a response. ”
Xiao Xin showed a tangled expression, it was obvious that he was worried about Charlene. However, Xiaoxin still didn't say anything, just nodded trustingly.
After that, Charlene dived into the fog alone. Because of the lack of vision around her, Charlene had to cast a spell to light up the wand's head for illumination. But even so, Charlene quickly realized that this was not going to work. Because even with the light source, Charlene still had difficulty seeing the road ahead in a cloud of white fog, and almost hit a tree several times, and she couldn't even tell the direction.
So it is conceivable that when Nick walks in this forest, it may be even more difficult to find a way than Charlene.
Fortunately, before entering the Misty Forest, Charlene had already considered this situation to happen, and the potion she was carrying with her could come in handy at this time.
Charlene sprinkled fluorescent powder as she walked, so that she could find her way back even in very dim light and blurred vision.
However, Charlene seems to have underestimated the effectiveness of these fogs before, because gradually, Charlene felt that her body became a little weak, but the fog in front of her became thicker and thicker. Looks like she has to find Nick out of here as soon as possible, otherwise, even Charlene herself will be trapped here!
