Leo led the two behind him across an arched bridge formed by a huge tree root, because Leo walked in front and removed the moss attached to the surface of the tree root, so that the two behind him no longer felt slippery when they stepped on it.

Before choosing to take the root arch bridge, Leo reminded them to be careful not to fall, because there was a small river about four meters wide below.

Although the effect of insect repellent is very significant, it cannot be used in water, and it is also of no use to those poisonous insects that inhabit the water.

After crossing the treeroot arch bridge without danger, Leo found a relatively open place and stopped.

The reason why they stopped was not because there was no road ahead, but because the two people behind them had reached the time when they needed to rest, and from the sound of their breathing that they could clearly hear it, it could be inferred that their current physical strength was close to the limit, and if they continued to walk, it would cause damage to their bodies.

"Rest in place for 10 minutes. Leo suggested after checking that there was no danger around.

Hearing Leo's proposal, Nelson and Jason didn't say anything, and each found a slightly protruding root to sit down, gasping for breath and wiping the sweat that kept rolling down their foreheads.

Leo calmly reminded the two of them: "You'd better drink a little water now, don't drink too much, drink in small sips." ”

Nelson and Jason silently took out the kettle on their waists, twisted the lid, resisted the urge to drink dry, and drank it in small sips, about five sips, they all stopped in unison and closed the lid with difficulty.

"Leo, why don't you have anything to do, you can't even see the sweat?Are you a monster?" Jason, who was in a slightly better physique, gradually recovered from the violent gasp after drinking water, and then saw Leo's relaxed face through the faint light of the lantern, and said with both envy and jealousy.

"As long as you know how to adjust the way you use your physical strength, you can do the same thing as I do. Leo smiled and said.

At this moment, Leo was in a very happy mood, because he just looked at his personal data interface again, and found that even though he had been walking all the time just now and had used his psionic skills from time to time, his psionic energy had not decreased at all, and it remained at sixty points.

By looking at the recorded data from the paracerebral system, he learned that the entire Black Forest was in an unknown high-energy force field. This kind of high-energy force field cannot be directly absorbed, and through perfect control, it can promote the strengthening or evolution of certain parts of the body, let alone help him enhance his willpower and mental power, but this high-energy force field can slowly replenish the spiritual energy he consumes. With proper control, his psionic energy can always be at full capacity.

Another point is that the high-energy force field of the Black Forest is not constant, in fact, by recording subtle changes in the data, Leo found that the deeper you go into the Black Forest, the stronger the high-energy force field becomes. If we extrapolate from this data growth ratio, the heart of the Great Black Forest, which is said to be accessible to no human, may have a high-energy force field that can provide him with the ability to absorb and evolve and gain stronger psionic skills.

The Black Forest is actually a general term for the Black Forest region, which is actually divided into five parts: the Lower Black Forest, the Great Black Forest, the Upper Black Forest, the Black Forest Marshes, and the Vinovian Mountains. The Great Black Forest is the main body of the Black Forest and the root of it, and the rest of the Black Forest is the product of the outward extension of the Black Forest, of which the Lower Black Forest is the smallest, while the Upper Black Forest, the Black Forest swamps, and the Vinovian Mountains are all outside the borders of the French Empire.

Leo also learned about the Black Forest from a complete map of the Black Forest painted on the wall of the hotel's restaurant. Although he knew from Nelson that the Black Forest was very large, he did not expect it to be large enough to occupy half of the Velen Continent, and half of the land of the Franc Empire, the largest area on the Velen Continent, was the Black Forest, and the other half of the land was squeezed into a U-shape by the Black Forest.

"Didn't you say that it's the Foggy Moon in the Black Forest, why have we been walking for so long, and there is no fog at all?" Just as Leo was thinking about something related to his own data and the situation in the Black Forest, Jason suddenly asked Nelson a question that he also wanted to ask.

Since entering the Black Forest, Leo has seen a lot of water vapor along the way, but these water mist are very light and light, not dense fog at all, let alone make people get lost in the fog.

"I asked the teacher about the Misty Moon. Nelson wiped the sweat from his forehead, wrung out the towel, and explained: "After entering the Fog Moon, the dense fog does not immediately fill the forest, they will appear irregularly in some parts of the forest, stay for a few days, even ten days, and then disappear, and then appear in another place, until about thirty to forty days after entering the Fog Moon, all the dense fog will be fixed in the forest until it fills the entire forest." ”

Leo asked, "And where are we now?"

"It's been 23 days since the first fog appeared," Nelson said. ”

Jason smiled and said, "It seems that our luck is not bad. ”

Nelson gave Jason a blank look and said, "It should be said that our luck is very bad, because this time happens to be the time when the dense fog appears most frequently and is also the most unruly, maybe we are sitting here now, and the next moment the surroundings will be shrouded in thick fog." ”

"No!" Jason craned his neck and cautiously looked around.

Leo opened his mouth and was about to ask more about the Misty Moon in the Black Forest, but was interrupted by a very small voice in the distance, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the place where the sound came from.

"Leo, what's wrong?" Leo's movements were so loud that Nelson easily saw Leo's abnormality and immediately asked.

"There were gunshots. Leo said in a deep voice.

"There was a gunshot, why didn't I hear it?" Jason looked at Leo suspiciously, and then asked Nelson, "Doctor, did you hear that?"

"Nope. Nelson shook his head as well.

At this moment, Nelson suddenly saw Leo's eyes flicker with a magical white light in the dark night, and just as he was about to take a closer look, the white light disappeared again, which made him wonder if he was delusional, especially after Leo heard the gunshots they didn't hear.

Although Nelson didn't have much experience in the jungle, he had read a lot of books and knew that some people were prone to visual and auditory hallucinations in the jungle, and he thought that he might be the same.

Just as Nelson was about to say what he had deduced about the hallucination phenomenon to see if he should discuss a solution, Leo smiled at him and Jason with a hint of inexplicable contempt, and said, "You two stay here and don't move, I'll fix some tails later." ”

After speaking, without waiting for the two to answer, Leo handed the insect repellent medicine around his neck and the spherical smoker hanging from his waist to Nelson, and then walked back and forth across the root arch bridge, jumped back and forth between several large roots on the opposite side, grabbed a hanging vine, and swung into the dark forest behind, leaving only the two people sitting in place with blank faces, looking at each other, speechless for a while.

Entering the Black Forest alone, Leo walked through the forest as easily as he was in his own back garden, and he quickly walked through all the available conditions, and his every step was extremely exquisite, and the topographic map constructed by the spiritual network made him come and go as freely as the master of the Black Forest.

Just when he heard the faint sound of gunshots, Leo activated his psychic vision, opened the psychic network, saw the situation in the forest behind him through the psychic vision, and constructed a three-dimensional map and a biological detection map in the auxiliary brain system through the psychic web.

Observing and probing, Leo spotted more than thirty hunters following behind him, and the two Panir battle axes that these hunters wore around their waists revealed their identities.

To his surprise, the thirty or so people were less than a hundred meters away from where they were resting, separated only by a row of dense trees, which they had to go around to reach the root arch bridge.

The gunfire was caused by the gunpowder in the gun of one of the hunters, who was not using a special bullet. And a gunshot should be very loud in such an open field, even if there are trees blocking it, it shouldn't be so slight, so that he almost thinks he is having auditory hallucinations.

This situation made Leo wonder if the high-energy force field that shrouded the Black Forest might be able to reduce and mask the transmission of sound.

This made him think of the person trapped in the thick fog, who could neither see the direction nor transmit his cries for help, even if someone passed by a hundred meters away, he could not hear his cries for help, so he could only wait for death alone in the fog, or be eaten by the forest beasts that came with the fog.

Now, Leo has discovered these malicious tails, and naturally he will not let them continue to follow, so he will let Nelson and Jason wait in the same place, and he will go over and deal with these people.

Soon Leo came to the shadow of a huge tree not far from them. Lock each of them onto the eyeballs and cast them into the eyeballs, then disarm the psionics and psychic webs and turn them into regular combat mode.

Leo observed a little and found that the thirty or so people in front of him did not seem to be in unison, the twenty or so people who accounted for the majority seemed to be complaining that they should not enter the Black Forest, while the remaining eight people were very calm, two of them squatted on the ground with lanterns, carefully looking for the traces of Leo and them before, and did not pay attention to the complaints of those people, it seems that these eight people are the main force chasing Leo.

In addition, he also found that the weapons on the twenty-odd men were all hunters' equipment such as bows and crossbows, and even if there were muskets, they were of a very crude kind.

On the contrary, three of the eight men carried three well-made standard rifles on their backs, and there was a special bullet bag on their belts, in which were five beautifully made bullets, counting the five bullets in the magazine, these eight people should have thirty special bullets in their hands.

After some observation, Leo quickly found his target, who happened to be at the back of the line, tightening his somewhat loose bowstring, looking like a veteran hunter.

However, Leo could tell from his somewhat rapid breathing and the constant adjustment of the bowstring that he was nervous now, and it was not difficult to see from his deliberate behavior of falling behind the group that if something unusual happened, he would probably be the first to turn around and run.

After finding his first target, Leo took advantage of the darkness of the forest to silently reach the back of the group through the gaps between the huge tree roots.

Although his closest position was less than ten centimeters away from a hunter who could see him if he turned his head, his movements were silent, like a ghost, thanks to the sound absorbing earth of the ground and the high-energy force field around him that restricted sound.

Leo was already standing behind his target, and the hunter was still focused on the conversation between his companions discussing whether they should go back. He quickly reached out with one hand and covered his target's mouth, while the other hand held a dagger and stabbed him directly in the back into the heart, killing him instantly.

After solving a target, Leo did not pull out the dagger, but carefully dragged the corpse into the darkness, the wound was facing the ground, and pulled out the dagger diagonally, so that the blood sprayed fell directly to the ground without splashing on his body.

After solving one target, Leo removed the Panir tomahawk from the corpse and moved towards the next target.

The pitch-black environment of the Black Forest gave Leo excellent protection, and the combat skills that used to be based on infiltration and decapitation were brought to the extreme, and these people did not notice that their companions were dwindling one by one. It wasn't until the two people who were looking for the way found the traces of Leo's previous walk, deduced their route, and stood up and prepared to continue the pursuit, that they found that there were only a dozen people left in the team of dozens of people.

"What's going on??" The hunter, the strongest of the eight, stood up and questioned the bewildered man, apparently thinking that the men had left while he wasn't looking, only to see him shout, "You guys took my money, and now you want to regret it?" Do you know how our Bloodaxe Gang treats those who take money and then regret it? We'll make him swallow the money one by one until his stomach bursts. ”

"Boss Piye, don't wronged us, since we have collected your money, we will definitely follow you, otherwise we will not follow you to the Black Forest in the Foggy Moon. One of the questioners hurriedly stood up and argued, "We don't know where those people are?" I swear to God that they were still here. ”

Suddenly, someone said, "Could it be that a monster in the fog came out and ...... them?"

Before the man's words were finished, I don't know if it was a coincidence, a cool breeze appeared out of thin air in this sultry environment, swept over everyone, making everyone shiver, and the surroundings fell into silence in an instant.

Soon the man named Pierre relented and shouted at the man who had spoken before: "You idiot, what are you talking nonsense......?

Before Pierre could finish his words, a black shadow flew out of the darkness, instantly hit Pierre's open chest, and pierced it fiercely, and the remaining strength flew Pierre's body up and hit a tree root fiercely.
