Only Puno stood in front of him indifferently, turned his back to Darra, and said indifferently: "Put away your sword! brother! unless you meet an opponent you think is worth drawing your sword!"

"What's going on?" Darla asked aloud, "what about the monster?"

Puno said: "There are no monsters!"

"But I ...... just now"

"It's all an illusion!" Puno said coldly, "This is just the most basic test. ”

"Little brother, come here, we ......"

"Put away your sword!" Puno ordered impatiently, but never turned around.

"Why?" said Darrah, stunned, "I can use it to illuminate the forest and dispel those illusions. ”

"Yes, but also because of this, you will not find a real way into the forest. To enter the Cloak Forest, you must use the power of your own mind to dispel fear. Puno said impatiently again, "If you don't believe me, you can continue to hold your Thunder Sword high." With that, Puno walked forward, stepping into the darkness beyond the reach of the sword's light.

"Little brother!" Dara shouted, taking a step forward, only to see that his brother was surrounded by countless monsters in the darkness, and they rushed forward and began to bite and devour Puno in a frenzy......

"No—" Darrah screamed and rushed over, raising his sword and slashing wildly, only to realize a moment later that he was fighting the air, and there were no monsters in the sword's rays.

"How many times do you want me to say!Throw away your sword!" Puno's voice rang out again, close to him.

Dara lowered her head, only to see Puno lying on the ground clutching his injured arm, blood pouring out, looking at him indifferently and angrily.

"Little brother, are you hurt?who?," Darla roared as she tried to pick up her brother in a panic, but Puno pushed him away and said, "It's you! ”

"I—how is this possible?" shouted Darrah, puzzled.

Vantania walked up, touched Darla's arm lightly, and said, "Indeed, you stabbed him!"

"How could it be me? He's my brother!"

"It's you. The old dwarf also testified, bowing his head, not daring to look at Darrah's sad expression.

"Darla, I don't think you can be blamed for this, this forest has left us all a little out of control. The dwarf said.

"I know you're trying to kill monsters. Actually, we saw those monsters just now, but they disappear when you rush over, and it seems that they are really illusions. Mike added.

Dara suddenly realized that he had mistaken the illusion for a real monster and killed him, only to injure his brother by mistake.

"I'm sorry, little brother, I didn't mean to ......," Dara said.

"Shut up, put away your sword!" Puno roared.

Dara looked at the sword in his hand, then at his injured brother, and finally returned the sword to its sheath.

As soon as the jet-black thunder sword was inserted into the scabbard, darkness enveloped them again.

The surrounding monsters also swarmed up again, and in the darkness, the monsters opened their bloody mouths, trying to devour them.

Everyone instinctively wanted to resist and fight again.

"Don't move!" Darla yelled suddenly, "No one is allowed to move!

Darra's order made everyone remain still, resisting the urge to fight the monster and standing silently.

After a few moments, the monsters were gone, and the illusory monsters did not cause any real damage to the crowd. Immediately after, a path paved with multicolored stones appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

As soon as they walked on the stone path, the surrounding darkness seemed to be far away from everyone, and they finally felt a glimmer of warmth and sunshine in the forest.

Darala looked ahead and saw that the path was not long, but as they moved, the path continued to grow forward, as if it was growing, showing them the right direction to walk in front of them. Looking back, Dara found that the path they had just walked was gone, and everything was once again swallowed up by the dark forest. Puno is right when he says that they must rely on their inner strength to overcome these illusions in order to find the right path to the forest.

Along the way, it is not difficult for the companions to find that the road is lined with the bones of former explorers, and judging from their lying posture and the appearance of death, many people have died from cannibalism, and some people are often only one step away from the right path.

Thinking that they had almost killed their partner by mistake because of an illusion just now, everyone had palpitations.

By this time, the old dwarf's opinion of Puno had changed, and perhaps they should have given him a chance to mend his ways, for if he hadn't reminded them again and again, they might have blindly followed the light of Dara, never finding the true way into the forest.

The trail eventually stopped in front of a black river in the forest, and a boat stopped in the middle of the river.

"Shall we get on the boat?" asked the old dwarf in disbelief, though he knew the answer was obvious.

"I thought, yes. Darla replied, looking at his brother who had come after him, his wound had been simply bandaged, and it was evident that it was the work of the elves, for there was a bow at the end of the gauze knot, which only a beauty-loving elf would do.

Dara glanced at Vantania gratefully, and the other smiled very gently. Perhaps only her gentleness could dispel the anger in her brother's body and accept Vantania to bandage his wounds. But all this changed after Puno came to the forest. Thinking of this, Dara felt that he had made the right choice to accept the trial task given to him by Ouster. After my brother came here, he really regained a lot of his former humanity.

Darla thought as he directed the group to get on board.

"No!" Todak looked at his companion on board, still standing hesitantly.

By this time, the multicolored stone path had shrunk and shortened into a small circle, leaving only the place where the dwarves stood.

"Come on!" Dara ordered.

"There must be another way!" the old dwarf's stubborn temper flared up again, and he looked around for another way out, only to find to his despair that there was no other way out of here. If he wanted to re-enter those dark and terrible forests full of illusions, even if he gave himself ten more darts, Todak would not be willing to do so. But if he was asked to take the boat like everyone else, Todak's face immediately turned pale. For dwarves, boats are the most terrible means of transportation.

"Todak, hurry. You're always holding everyone back, and if you're afraid of water, I can ......," the dwarf cried.

"Who said I was afraid of water!" Todak roared.

"I'm telling the truth. ”

"I'll beat you to death!"

"I'm in the boat, and you're not afraid of the water to come and beat me!" said the dwarf smugly, grimacing at the old dwarf and sticking out his tongue. (To be continued.) )
