Chapter 22: The Murmur of the Fog

The three people who encountered Albon were none other than the three Leo who crossed the Lower Black Forest. Although they did not know exactly where they had reached now, after meeting Arbon, they were able to deduce that their current position should be within the area of the western side of the Lower Black Forest, and it should not be very far from the western edge of the Black Forest.

From the time they entered the Black Forest on the east side, and now they were about to leave the Black Forest on the west side, only about a day and a half had passed, much less time than expected.

The reason for this is that Leo was always able to find the most correct and easy path in the dark forest, and the reason was that after they encountered the dense fog, they did not encounter any danger in the forest for the rest of the time, and not even a beast that could threaten them did not appear in the country.

The smoothness of the journey made Nelson wonder if he was in a place where he was still talking about the Black Forest.

If it was just going well, it wasn't worth the fuss that Nelson and Jason were all about, and what made the two of them feel incredible was that Leo's luck was incredible.

As he walked along the road, Leo kicked away a rotting root, and beneath the root was a purple crest, which Nelson had promised his teacher to pick, and it was a seven-petal flower that was only recorded in mythological transmissions.

According to Nelson, the environment beneath the roots of the rotting tree is not at all suitable for the growth of the purple crest, and the fact that this purple crested flower can grow to seven petals is almost miraculous, which also makes him suspect that there may be something strange about the humus in which the purple crestflower took root. So while he dug up the purple crown flower, he also took a lot of humus from the surrounding environment and looked for an opportunity to study it.

If only this one miraculous good fortune had happened, and then there was a succession of situations, each time without exception, Leo moved or removed an obstacle, and then he could see that behind the obstacle some extremely valuable Black Forest products were hidden.

The value of these products, such as mature herbs, precious tree species, rare animal bones, etc., has reached at least 300,000 gold. Such a huge income that even the best team of Black Forest hunters has never achieved.

It's just that these things are much less valuable than the dung of the two gold-eating beasts found now. Including Leo, they had no doubt that if they continued to stay in the Black Forest for a day or two, the cumulative value of their specialties would definitely exceed one million gold.

As far as the Duke of Buckingham of the Kingdom of England, known as the Duke of the Sea, is concerned, the Platinum Chamber of Commerce he controls is the largest chamber of commerce in the world, and the caravans and fleets of the Chamber of Commerce control nearly one-third of the freight trade on the three continents, and the profit he can obtain in a year is only close to one million gold guilders.

Now the three of them have the opportunity to harvest a million gold shield worth of Black Forest specialties in a few days, and I am afraid that no one will believe such a thing.

"What do we do now?" Jason asked suddenly.

Although Jason's inquiry was vague, the other two were able to understand what he meant.

In the face of huge interests, even Nelson, who didn't care much about money, couldn't help but hesitate, he put the gold beast feces in his hand into Leo's backpack, and then tentatively asked, "Or, why don't we stay for two more days?"

Leo was silent for a moment, then made a decisive decision: "No! ”

After saying that, he didn't allow the two companions to come up with different meanings, so he directly put on his backpack and put a petrified kidney that he had just taken out of the red leopard's body into a small bag around his neck, along with the monster's black heart and other similar objects.

Jason and Nelson were stunned when they saw Leo make such a quick and decisive decision, then looked at each other, didn't say anything, picked up their things, and followed closely.

Leo, who walked in front, looked very serious, and there was a trace of fear and worry in his eyes, he was not worried about what danger he would encounter on the way down, but worried about his good luck.

In fact, he didn't tell the truth just now, he didn't know where his good luck came from, in fact, he could vaguely guess that his good luck should come from the golden giant deer. Just as the golden deer improved his will, constitution, and other personal data, it also gave him some good luck, and these good fortunes made him unimpeded in the forest and gained countless rewards.

But as a biological weapon known for his sanity, Leo will never believe in this kind of pie-in-the-sky good thing, there will be a gain, there will be a pay, and the greater the gain, the greater the pay, and it is this idea that makes him feel that if he continues to stay in the Black Forest, maybe he needs to make a huge contribution to the harvest of more than 500,000 gold shields.

Thinking of this, Leo couldn't help but speed up his pace, and when Jason and Nelson couldn't keep up, he took the backpack from them, put it on his back, and continued on his way. Because of the fact that he has reached five times the basic physique of ordinary people, even if Leo is carrying the backpacks of three people, the pace under his feet is still not slow.

Nelson and Jason didn't know why Leo was in such a hurry, but they could feel that Leo's mood was very nervous and anxious at the moment, and this emotion also affected them, allowing them to detach themselves from the joy of the huge harvest just now, and concentrate on the journey, even if they felt a little exhausted, they did not ask for a break.

Under the rapid rush of the three of them, it would have taken more than an hour to travel, but they only took less than half an hour to get there.

The sunlight shining in front of them through the cracks in the tree wall was also clearly visible, and even without Leo leading the way, Nelson and Jason were not likely to get lost.

Seeing that he was about to walk out of the Black Forest, Leo's psychic perception talent suddenly produced an extreme sense of crisis, making him feel as if the heavens and the earth were about to collapse, and the cold hairs on his body stood on end.

"Damn!" he felt that according to the current situation, it was absolutely impossible for him to leave the Black Forest before the danger corresponding to the sense of crisis appeared.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to decisively throw the two backpacks on his body on the ground, leaving only the Nelson backpack containing letters, purple crown flowers and some rare herbs, and then reached out and grabbed Jason and Nelson, activating the combat module of the perfect control skill, with a speed and agility that ordinary people can't do, quickly walking between the branches, vines, roots and bushes of the Black Forest, which took more than ten minutes to be suppressed by him to more than two minutes.

Nelson and Jason, who were being held by him, didn't understand what was going on, they only felt as if they were being dragged by a train, and they could only float in the wind like a dead grass, watching the trees around them flash quickly, unable to make any resistance movements.

When Nelson and Jason felt the drag of their arms disappear, their feet stepped on the solid ground, and instead of the dark forest, which was so dark that they couldn't reach their fingers, there was a field of wheat as far as the eye could see.

Although Nelson and Jason had only been in the Black Forest for less than two days, it felt like they had been in the Black Forest for two years. The long-lost sky can be seen when it looks up, even if the sky is cloudy at the moment, and there will be a storm falling at any time, but compared to the dark environment of the Black Forest, the current scenery is enough to make the two of them feel comfortable and happy.

While the two of them looked up at the sky, Leo sat on the ground, adjusting his breathing, checking the personal data interface and checking his current status.

The combat module that activated the perfect control to the limit just now not only consumed his spiritual energy, but also a lot of consumption on his body, so that the moment he stopped, his body felt extremely sore, as if he had been fighting for a whole day.

After checking it, fortunately, the daily value of Will stayed at two points, which made Leo feel a little relieved, and also decided to find time to set up a will warning line for the secondary brain system, and once it fell below the alert heart, let the auxiliary brain system automatically stop all psionic skills that would have a negative impact on the will.

After that, he checked the other personal data items, and although the daily value of each item had decreased, the base value remained intact, and the surprise was that the basic value of Agile had increased by 0.5 points because of the breakthrough speed play just now.

At this time, Nelson and Jason recovered from the view of the sky, and then they remembered Leo's act of throwing away their backpacks just now, and were about to ask Leo why, but their eyes involuntarily fell on the tree wall in the Black Forest.

"Leo! look!" Jason said, gesturing at the Black Forest, to Leo, who was still looking at his personal data.

Hearing this, Leo looked towards the Black Forest, and was shocked by the sight in front of him.

I saw that the Black Forest, which was normal a moment ago, was completely shrouded in dense fog at this time, and these dense fogs not only covered the Black Forest, but also connected with the clouds in the sky, and from a distance, it looked like the sea of clouds in the sky was falling down like a waterfall.

Such a spectacular scene was already used to the people in the villages and towns around the Black Forest, and they would not be too excited, but for the three Leo who had seen such a beautiful scene for the first time, it was enough to shock them.

"It's good that you dragged us out, otherwise it would ......" In addition to being shocked, Jason looked at Leo with some trepidation.

Nelson also asked curiously at this time, "Did you know in advance that the dense fog was about to appear?"

Leo didn't answer, but stared intently at the fog, as if something else was hidden in the fog.

Although Leo hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he could clearly feel that something seemed to be watching him from inside the fog, and that it was somehow making a sound in his ears that only he could hear.

The sound was like the cry of some beast, or the roar of thunder and lightning in the sky, or more like some unknown language, and when he heard it, he couldn't help but feel an impulse, an urge to return to the foggy Black Forest.

Leo knew very well that if he turned on his psionic vision, he would definitely be able to see what was in the fog, but he was also very sure that once he could see the things in the fog, it would inevitably cause his will to drop sharply like seeing a golden deer, and it would be difficult to predict what would happen to him.

Resisting the urge to turn on the vision, and enduring the whispering in his ear, Leo looked at the fog quietly, and his body did not dare to move.

I don't know how long it took, but Leo felt the pressure on his body disappear abruptly, and along with the pressure disappeared, there was a physical feeling that could not be described in words, as if something was missing.

At this moment, the thing that was staring at him in the thick fog had also withdrawn its gaze, and did not continue to make a sound in his ears, and disappeared into the thick fog.

Only then did he let out a long breath of turbidity, and his tense spirit relaxed, and he lay on the ground without any image.

"How long have I been in a daze?" asked Leo as he looked at his two companions with nervous and concerned eyes.

"It didn't take long, about ten minutes. Nelson took out his pocket watch, looked at it, and called for a time.

"Nelson said it was best not to touch you casually," Jason asked with concern, "How are you doing now?"

Leo smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm fine." ”

Nelson, who was next to him, couldn't help but be curious and asked, "What did you see just now?"

"Nothing. Leo said truthfully.

But apparently Nelson wasn't convinced, but he didn't ask any further.

"How much do we have left?" Jason suddenly asked.

"It's a doctor's backpack. Leo untied his backpack and placed it on the ground.

"Damn, how could it be a doctor's backpack, there's nothing valuable in the doctor's backpack. Jason muttered as he knelt on the ground, opened his backpack, and took out the contents one by one.

I saw that the most in the backpack were herbs, and the herbs that had been carefully wrapped in cloth were neatly placed on the ground, although some herbs were damaged because of the violent action just now, but the root system of the herbs was intact, and its value was not lost too much.

In addition to this, there is a special container containing the purple crest, which is made of special metal and is very strong and not damaged at all.

The last item was a complete beast bone, and Nelson didn't know what kind of beast it was, but he was certain that it didn't exist in the animal atlases published in various countries.

"That's all that's left!" Jason said, looking at the various items in front of him with a dejected expression.

"It's already good. Nelson pointed to the herbs and said, "These herbs are very precious, and the root system is well preserved, if you buy them for the medical school, they will be worth at least about 7,000 gold dong." As he spoke, he paused, hesitated, and then looked at Jason and Leo with a look of embarrassment, and said, "However, I hope you can let me give these herbs to the medical school." ”

Jason exclaimed in surprise, "What? That's worth seven thousand ......."

"Yes. Without waiting for Jason to finish speaking, Leo made a decision, but at the same time added: "That beast bone should only be a lot of money, so I will compensate you!"

"Forget it! If the beast bones are sold, let's divide them equally! Anyway, the money picked up for nothing is not too small, at least I haven't seen so much money before. Jason shook his head, a little unwilling, but he didn't care about it anymore, after getting along in the past few days, Nelson has been regarded as his recognized friend, and naturally he won't care so much about money.
