Chapter 92: The Lost Forest
It's a big game.
Tex's strategy not only failed to eliminate the mysterious team, but also angered the man in white, causing his soldiers to die instantly. At this time, the rest of the hundreds of people were fleeing into the forest, knowing that if they stopped, they were in danger of being controlled by the orange light.
In the blink of an eye, the thirty or forty people who fell behind Jack could not escape the control of the orange light, and fell under the swords of the friendly soldiers one after another, screaming miserably. Even the sea beasts that had been stationed in the forest scattered and fled for their lives, knocking down countless stout trees.
What to explain what is happening in front of him, Jack doesn't know, he only knows to run, run desperately, just run south, can't turn back, there is very likely to be the orange murderous light behind him, and every minute will make him lose his mind, draw his sword and swing it at his companions. That's not what he wants.
It was already dawn, and Jack had escaped all night. At this time, there was no sign of anyone else around him, his heart was pounding, and he was so tired that he could no longer run, so he had to sit under the root of a tree to rest.
The trees are very dense and the occasional cries of unknown beasts add a lot of mystery to this forest.
The shrubs grew very tall, and a plant called the killer vine was right in front of Jack's eyes, and although they were plants, they looked like pythons, and the trunk was thick and long, and it was always wrapped around the trees in the forest, and it grew fiercely towards the sky.
"No, this forest...... It won't be what Wilson said ......"
Jack's conjecture was right! The forest he was in was what Wilson called the "Lost Forest" where the Kodu people had been sent to exercise since childhood! These plants that grew much larger than other places were proof of this. However, it wasn't the oddly shaped plants that made him nervous, it was ......
"Whew," Jack heard a heavy gasp in his ears, like an elephant squirting water with its trunk, as if it was close to his ears.
Jack carefully turned his head around, he didn't want to die in vain, and he was already in a different place before he could open his mouth to eat him.
This Lost Forest is known for its ferocity of fierce beasts, and although the sons of Kodo City are brave and fearless, dozens of young people who have been trained since childhood die here every year, so you can imagine how dangerous Jack will be when he is left alone, and he will face no swordsmanship.
The sound of "swoop" was getting closer and closer, but he just couldn't find the source of the sound, and the grass and trees around him were still still, not like something was approaching him.
Don't...... His heart was in his throat, and the last thing he dared to think was that the source of the sound would be above his head.
"Three...... Second ......" he counted silently, while his hand slowly reached for the Ningfu sword at his waist.
"One!"
Jumping up, Ning Fujian pointed at the big tree behind him!
Sure enough, a big black python with a wide round head and a letter spitting out a letter was looking straight at him. The body of this big python is three or four times thicker than Jack's waist, and its head is at the root of the tree, hanging coiled on the tree, but the tail is left on the top of the tree more than ten meters high. If it weren't for the fact that its glowing green eyes were recognizable in the skylight, its long cyan color alone would have been able to hide in the jungle and wait for food to come to the door.
For some reason, Jack remembered the Missour's Holy Light Divine Beast. The one in front of me is very similar, but the size is too much smaller, isn't it, they are the same species?
The python was eye-to-eye with Jack, slowly stretching out its broad head eagerly, as if to test Jack's combat power.
At this time, Jack's hand holding Ningfu's sword was slowly sweating, he was not simply afraid, but worried that if he died, all his efforts would be in vain.
He doesn't know much about the habits of pythons, but he only knows that if he is entangled by it, he will have no possibility of survival, which is also the weakness of pythons, they will not directly open their mouths to swallow their prey, but will first entangle them and suffocate to death.
Wait for it to make a move, or take the initiative to attack on its own? Jack hesitated, maybe the same as the cyan python thought in his heart.
But as the day dawns, perhaps more of these gigantic creatures have awakened from their sleep, and the sound of their own running may alarm others, in which case the situation will be even more unfavorable to them.
Jack gripped the Ningfu sword in both hands, and the sword trembled.
At this moment, the green python had been waiting for a long time, so it floated down from the tree and slowly followed its head to Jack's feet. Jack's legs were clung to the ground as if they were not at his command.
"How so!"
He couldn't imagine that he would be so nervous, in the past, he could be said to be not afraid of heaven and earth, but now why is his leg so weak that he can't move?
The python took advantage of the situation to circle around his legs, and the next moment it would tighten its body, wrap his neck tightly, and suffocate him to death.
Jack was reluctant, but his legs couldn't move no matter what.
"Jack!" suddenly came a shout not far away, and at the same time, a flaming torch was thrown and smashed on the head of the green python impartially. The python was frightened by the fire, and immediately retracted its body, swam under the root of the tree, and glared at Jack and the torch at his feet with its mouth wide open.
The man who saved him was Turks.
Turks and his men have been looking for the lost Jack for a night. The Lost Forest is small on the outside, but the roads inside are intricate, and if you are not a native, you may lose your way and be killed by the beasts of the forest.
"Are you alright? Why don't you run!? Luckily, we wouldn't have thought of looking for you in the belly of the python. Tex said nervously.
Jack was still immersed in the thrill just now, and replied hesitantly, "I...... I do not know...... I can't move my legs......"
Everyone looked down Jack's leg and understood why.
"Well, Jack, look at yourself, where are you stepping on?" said Tex helplessly.
At this time, the python had been driven away by the other soldiers with fire, Jack looked down, scratched his head with emotion and said, "Hehe, I thought my legs were weak and couldn't move, it turned out that I stepped on the vine and was stuck." ”
At least, it was just a false alarm in the end, and there were no more casualties.
Turks counted the number of people. In addition to the 500 people waiting outside the forest, there were 80 people behind him, and the cavalry lost more than 50 soldiers in this ambush incident.
The group returned the way they came, and took Jack to the road outside the woods.
"It's over, and the man in white seems to have returned to the Kamihi River. We are safe for the time being. Jack, you are relatively lucky, you only met that green python, we just looked for you, and we killed a dozen beasts. You're so desperate!"
Turks said with some rejoicing.
Jack turned around and looked at the Lost Forest, then at the corpses of the soldiers who had been cleaned up and carried out, and said with deep feeling: "It's dawn, it's good to have sunshine!"
