Chapter 49: The Mystery (I)
The Phantom Forest is a mystical forest that has rarely been explored for thousands of years, and details about it are difficult to pinpoint. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
High-level professionals have also explored this area, but in the end, they have failed.
"It's better not to be too close to each other and not too far apart. This is the Magic Sound Stone, one for each of the four of you, in case of emergency, you can contact me at any time through the Magic Sound Stone. Victor took out four angular lilac stones and handed them to the Septon Four.
The Magic Sound Stone, similar to Horst's wireless communicator in his previous life, is able to hear each other's voices in the air, even from a great distance.
"I've given you all the answers, let's go in and make a way for you. Standing at the entrance into the forest, Victor looked a little worried.
Horst followed Victor and the others into the Phantom Forest, and the first thing he felt was silence. That's right, all that exists in the Forest of Illusions is silence, and the deeper you go, the more you can feel it. It was as if there was no life in the world, or that the forest seemed to be devoid of other creatures, except plants.
Outside the forest, there were no clouds and clear skies, but inside the forest, there was a deathly silence, and the light was a little dim, even in the tall and lush trees, almost like night.
"Did you hear anything?" Horst's ears felt a tingling sensation, but it wasn't obvious, and he concluded it was due to the stinging sensation caused by sound waves.
"Voice?" Victor motioned for everyone to stop, took out the map, and marked something on it, "Ian, Myron, you two go and inform Septon that this place will need to use a special barrier from the beginning. ”
"I heard it too, and it seemed like there was some stinging in my ears. Charlene rubbed her ears, "Victor, did you find something wrong?"
"Senior Sister Shalene, this voice is indeed a bit strange, and if you don't feel it carefully, it is extremely difficult to find. Acting on the human ear, I thought it was bitten by an insect. Horst came to the fork in the road directly in front of the group, "The further you go inside, the more obvious the sensation of the sound becomes." ”
"There are two roads here, according to the instructions on the map, one leads to the Nas Empire, and the other leads to the Valley of the Demonic Sound, which is the birthplace of the mysterious sound. And through the Valley of Demonic Sound, you have to pass through a swamp to get out of the Phantom Forest. "Horst took the map from Victor's hand and kept marking something.
"It's not a long journey, but it's a lot of work to get through the Valley of Magic and the swamp. Victor nodded, "As an Assassin, I also feel the stinging sensation in my ears that seems to be something like sound waves, and we're here for Ian and Myron. ”
"The further you go in, the more the road forks, but luckily there is a map to help you know where we are. Salene found a piece of bluestone, wiped it slightly, and sat down.
"The distance between our position and the army is not far, and Ian and Myron will be back soon. The four of them, each with two thousand five hundred soldiers, needed five times to completely bring the 50,000 army out of the Phantom Forest. Nigel looked left and right at the fork in the road, "This place should be clearly marked, so that when we return home, we can also confirm the specific location of this place." ”
"That's what Nigel said, Senior Victor, what do you think?" Horst nodded, thinking that this was a very necessary solution, and asked Victor.
Victor looked solemn and agreed.
After waiting for a while, Myron and Ian returned, saying that they had brought the news and sorted out some of the things they had noticed with Septon.
"Let's go first. Victor walked to a fork in the road and chose the path to the Valley of the Magic Sound.
The deeper you go, the more rugged the road becomes, and from time to time there are traces of staggered roads. Even if you rely on the annotations on the map, it's easy to get lost.
Fortunately, Horst and the others have good mental power, and they can keenly perceive the changes in the surrounding environment and react quickly.
As they continued to go deeper, the closer they got to the Valley of Demonic Sound, the more they felt the swelling of their eardrums, and at the same time, their minds were a little confused. As a last resort, he wrapped his eardrums with his spiritual power to avoid the influence of the mysterious voice on himself.
Unlike normal sounds, these mysterious voices are extremely high-pitched, occasionally making a roaring sound. If you listen closely, you will see a sound similar to a landslide. These sounds harmless, but everyone in the advance team can clearly feel that the mysterious sound is mysterious because there are some unknown sound waves attached to the sound.
This kind of sound wave is different from ordinary sound waves, it cannot be heard, and it is even less visible. However, it is this kind of sound wave that seems to be able to kill people invisibly.
It's as if the singer is fighting and uses the force of the air through the action of the ukulele to use sound waves as a means and means of attack.
Others are a little confused in spirit, but they are still able to adhere to the spiritual world. Horst was different from the others, he wore a necklace of contemplation, as if the sounds didn't work for him.
At this time, it was almost dusk, and the night was gradually falling.
In the forest of illusions at night, silence is the main tone, and darkness is the guardian of silence. However, at this moment, rows of fire dragons lit up the entire forest, and the footsteps of thousands of soldiers marched throughout the Phantom Forest.
"We've arrived at the place of explanation, Victor, you're right, there are mysterious voices here, but they can't affect most of the soldiers. "Septon uses the Magic Stone to deliver a message to Victor. At this time, the 2,500 soldiers he led had already arrived at the place where Horst and the others had stopped to discover the situation during the day.
Behind the army led by Septton, there were three more armies advancing on foot.
"Very well, you guys will spend the night there tonight. Remember, special enchantments are also to be released. The night is our enemy. Victor's voice reached Septton's ears.
The effect of the contemplation necklace was good, and Horst's spirit was clear at this time. But I still feel that something is wrong, but I can't say what is wrong.
"Roar-" In the second half of the night, there was a loud noise in the Demon Sound Valley, like a beast's roar, extremely majestic. Wake up a few people who are in the simple tent at Taniguchi, and keep making the sound of beast roars at certain intervals.
"Could it be that there are powerful demonic beasts living in the Valley of Demonic Sound?" Victor's face turned a little pale, knowing that he could let out such a loud roar. The sound of this beast's roar is similar to the mysterious sound, and it also has a special sound wave, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.
"If there really is a demonic beast, it seems that you can only bite the bullet. Myron's face was gloomy, and it was the second half of the night, when people were extremely tired, and the mental torment was more painful than the physical exertion.
That being said, none of the six went deeper. Gradually, until the appearance of the white belly of the fish in the east, the sound of the beast roar in the Demon Sound Valley gradually became quieter, and was replaced by a sharper and more piercing sound than yesterday.
"Do you want to continue with the plan?" asked Victor with a haggard look on his face and a little hoarse.
Victor was also not in very good shape at this time, and did not answer Nigel's words.
"I think I can go into the Valley of Magic Sound first, and I can save you a lot of things. "Horst has a necklace of contemplation, which is extremely helpful for the condensation of spiritual power. Especially now, everyone's mental state is extremely bad, but he seems a little relaxed.
Horst was also affected by the mysterious voice, his eardrums tingled, and he was a little mentally confused, but the effect of the Concentration Necklace helped him offset the damage.
"Be careful!" Victor nodded, he now finally understood why most of the people who had entered the Phantom Forest before had relatively strong mental power.
"Victor, how should the itinerary of the army be arranged now? The sound of beast roars in the night had a great impact on the entire team, and many people did not sleep well. The voices of the four Septon warriors came out of the magic sound stone one after another, and Victor felt like his head had exploded.
On weekdays, he looks like he doesn't care, but now he has to face the reality, he needs to be responsible for the entire advance team, the entire army of 50,000.
Whatever decision Victor makes, it will affect this large army, and it will affect the large-scale battle that is about to begin.
"Rest in place for half a day and wait for the latest news ahead. "As an Assassin, Victor knows what to do with this and must be extremely cautious.
Now, the decision will depend on the news that Horst brings out in the Valley of the Magic Sound.
At this time, Horst relied on the concentrating necklace and concentrated his mental power, and gradually disappeared from everyone's field of vision, and walked into the valley mouth of the Demon Sound Valley.
"Hey, the geology here is different from the outside. As soon as Horst entered the Valley of Demonic Sound, he felt that something was wrong.
The Illusory Forest outside the Valley of Demonic Sound, the soil is earthy yellow, mixed with humus. The soil here is completely different from the outside world from the rocky walls of the valley on both sides.
The color of the stone walls is black, while the soil is reddish-brown.
The plants here, in particular, are taller than the outside world.
The mysterious sound waves disappeared here, and that was Horst's first feeling.
The moment he entered the valley, he felt a powerful fluctuation, and his body reacted extremely violently, and he felt like vomiting.
More importantly, mentally, it was as if under pressure. Fortunately, Horst had the Necklace of Condensation, otherwise his spirit would have been exhausted.
Fortunately, it has now entered the Valley of Demonic Sound.
Moving on, the mysterious voice that had disappeared reappeared, and it became stronger and stronger.
Under pressure, Horst walked forward, clearly looking two or three kilometers ahead of him was the exit at the other end, but it always felt extremely far away. There seemed to be a hallucination in his mind, but the next moment, an electric current hit Horst's mind, and he instantly woke up.
"What's that?" Not far from the valley at the other end, a black stone with two people hugging each other appeared in front of Horst's eyes.
