Chapter Fifty-Six: The Night Forest
"Do we have to break into this wood?"
In the night forest, Gelman turned into a giant bear, staring nervously at the dark woodland in front of him, and the druid's unique perception made Gelman vaguely perceive the powerful beast aura in this forest.
Moreover, after the disaster of the insect swarm has passed, most of the forests and grasslands in the south have been reduced to a wasteland, but here, on the path that the Zerg must pass, there is still such an intact forest, what kind of creatures live in it, so powerful that even the insect swarm gave up the attack and made a detour.
"This is where the demon disappeared, and we must enter this woodland and rediscover its traces and paths. ”
As she spoke, she pulled out a special artifact, like a silver wine glass, but with a smooth appearance.
After a while, the female mage placed the glass on the ground and let it spin freely.
"What are you doing here?"
Abdul-Jabbar asked curiously.
"Shhhh ”
Instead of answering Abdul-Jabbar's words, Esalivan made a quiet gesture.
The silver glass on the ground spun rapidly, then slower and slower until it stopped in a certain direction.
"This thing can track demons?"
The moment the glass stopped, Abdul-Jabbar reacted quickly. This thing was supposed to be like the compass she knew from her previous life, except that Esalivan might have used it to track down demons.
"Well, I found it in the Mage Tower, and Azhara used to hide it somewhere in the upper reaches of the library, but thankfully no mage found it in more than a decade until I took it out again when I needed it. ”
Esalivan said, full of confidence.
"Well, I don't understand the world of your mages. ”
Jabbar looked at such a delicate magic weapon and such delicate movements, and was glad that he was not reborn in such a high-precision profession as a mage, otherwise with his own character, even if he studied for ten years, he probably wouldn't be able to rub a small fireball.
"Let's go inside. ”
Asalivan said, the first to walk into the forest.
There are many phenomena in the dark forest, such as the fact that it is almost full of dead trees, as if it has been cursed by some evil wizard, there are many fallen leaves, but at the same time, the withered yellow leaves are all over the top of the forest, one side is like dead wood, and the other side is dense yellow leaves, which is simply not in accordance with the laws of nature.
"I feel like a labyrinth. ”
Looking at the path full of forks, Abdul-Jabbar suddenly felt a wave of unease in his heart. Just like the scene in the movie, the light here is dim, even during the day, there is very little light to penetrate, and the whole forest is shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere, no wonder it is called the Night Forest.
"Presumably, the trees, deliberately made of the same color, the roads, and even the locations and the scenery on both sides are almost exactly the same, in order to confuse outsiders entering this woodland?"
El Sallivan pointed to the markers on the trees and said, and it was then that Jabbar realized that the clever female mage had been marking the trees all the way, the same symbols, which meant that everyone was indeed going around in circles.
"It's this kind of trick again, what kind of monsters live in this forest, and even insects don't dare to enter?"
The most annoying conspiracy race that goes around in circles, the orcs like to be simple and rude, and Abdul-Jabbar felt annoyed in the face of such a rounding scene. At this time, if you change to another orc, like Paladin or something, you can directly cut down the woods in front of you to open the way.
"I don't know, but the demon did get in and go deeper. ”
Asalivan said, fiddling with something in the package, along the way, the task of tracking down the demon almost fell on the shoulders of this human witch, Abdul-Jabbar was just a big coarse, and he had no clue about such a delicate and sensitive tracking work.
"It's a werewolf. ”
Gelman smelled the fallen leaves on the ground and came to a very bad conclusion.
In the giant bear form, the druid and the grizzly bear are soul-linked, so they have almost all the characteristics of the black bear, the beasts can perceive each other, and the black bear can be said to be the most sensitive to the perception of the timberwolves, because they are often competitors.
"A few werewolves alone are not afraid, but if it is a population, it will be troublesome. ”
Abdul-Jabbar has a certain understanding of werewolves, when he was outside the city of Dicas, Uncle Orc had led the orc army to fight the wolf clan angrily, and defeated the other party, but at that time, Abdul-Jabbar had three hundred orc elite warriors under him, and now, there are only two people around him, although the combat effectiveness is off the charts, but it is estimated that it is difficult to deal with the herds of werewolves.
"There may be more than one population. ”
Jabbar had expected Gelman to say that there were only a few wolves, but now, this night druid came to an even more terrible and tragic conclusion - several wolves lived together in this woodland......
Well, no wonder the Zerg made a detour, and the werewolves formed a werewolf alliance, so the werewolves of the entire southern continent may have gathered here, so it is very likely that the Zerg will simply take a detour if they can't attack for a long time, this is the most likely speculation, Jabbar thought so, and couldn't help but feel helpless for himself and for everyone's miserable situation.
"But we're still going to go in, in order to find the demon. ”
Looking at the gloomy night glade ahead, Abdul-Jabbar said calmly. For the sake of his sister, the uncle was freed, Raphael was still in the hands of the Abyss Lord, and every time he delayed, the body of the wood elf was transformed by the demon for one more point, and Jabbar didn't want to see a dark ranger covered in black and rot, just like that Sylvanas.
As she walked on, everything began to slowly start to get smoother, perhaps because of Esarivan's magic, the labyrinthine woodland that the Night Glade was originally used to trap beasts or insect swarms was easily bypassed by Esalivan.
The female mage led the two comrades who fought by brute force behind her out of the labyrinth woodland, in front of which was an open forest meadow, located in the middle of the meadow, was a small lake, the stream in the jungle gurgled through, passed through here, and flowed deep into the dense forest, by the lake, was a very small village, a few broken grass houses, some shelves for drying clothes, is this where werewolves lived?
It's easy to speculate on the familiar human structures, and if there are only villages and no one living there, the only explanation is that the werewolves have found themselves and are hiding in a corner of the forest, staring at them like intruders...... (To be continued.) )
